The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 52 Three Thorns Shirakawa
On June 1908, 6, in a poor peasant family in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea, Yoon Bong-gil was born.After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan used force to drive the Qing Dynasty out of the Korean peninsula; in November 21, it forced North Korea to sign the "Ulsi Protection Treaty", making North Korea a "protectorate"; in 1905, it formally annexed North Korea and implemented the ultimate Cruel and most brutal "arbitrary politics".In order to eliminate the imprint of the Korean nation, the occupation authorities forbade North Koreans from using their own language, using Japanese as the "national language"; they slandered North Korea as an "inferior nation" since ancient times without its own country. On January 11, 1910, the old king Li Xi died suddenly, and planned to hold a state funeral on March 1919.

"He was poisoned to death by Japanese imperialism!"

All kinds of rumors spread like wildfire, and the anger that had been suppressed in the hearts of the North Korean people for a long time roared out. On March 3, hundreds of thousands of North Korean people took to the streets and held a rally in Tapdong Park, Seoul, singing the "Recovery Song": "Get up! 1 million compatriots, get up! Take up guns and knives, fight the enemy with blood, Give me back my freedom..." Shouting slogans such as "Long live North Korea's independence" and "Japanese get out of North Korea", they marched and demonstrated.The Japanese occupation forces went on a killing spree, and the Korean people rose up to resist. As of the end of December, more than 2000 demonstrations and riots took place in 12 of the 218 prefectures and counties across the country, and more than 211 million people participated in the struggle.The Japanese army brutally suppressed more than 3200 people were killed, 200 were injured, and more than 7500 were arrested.Some patriots came to Shanghai in order to avoid being chased and killed.

On April 1919, 4, under the arrangement of Du Yuesheng, a famous seaman, Korean exiles held a meeting at No. 11 Kim Priest Road in the French Concession. 22 members attended and formed the National Council. Li Dongning was elected as the speaker, announcing the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. Syngman Rhee is the prime minister of the interim government.The meeting passed ten articles of the provisional charter, and decided to abolish the monarchy and implement a democratic republic; on April 29, the provisional government was officially established at No. 4 Xiafei Road, and received the tacit approval of the French Consulate Office in Shanghai and the French Concession Board of Directors.However, the monthly rent of the government is 13 yuan, and the monthly salary of the handymen is less than 321 yuan. Even this little money, the interim government cannot afford it. "This declining family is no different from a beggar's den." It lasted until 30, and there were only a few dozen members of the provisional government left, and the others went their separate ways.The ministers have a good reputation, but because they have no normal income, they only get "food distribution" in turn from their compatriots' families.

The "March [-]st" Movement is a glorious banner for the Chinese youth who have suffered from the carve-up by the powers. "North Koreans are so desperate to fight for independence, are we still willing to be subjugated slaves?" Therefore, the "May [-]th" anti-imperialist patriotic movement finally broke out with the fuse of "fighting to the death and returning Qingdao to me".In the face of power, the Chinese held their heads high and straightened their spines!
Witnessing the country's destruction and poverty, Yin Bongji is determined to do his part for national independence and national rejuvenation. In 1930, he heard the news that the provisional government of the Republic of Korea was established in Shanghai, China, and left a note to his wife saying "the husband will not return home alive". He starved and passed through Dalian, Qingdao and other places. Came to Shanghai on May 1931.However, I searched for many days and asked many people, but I couldn't find it.He never stopped doing anything, and simply "always walked on the grand road with his clothes and shoes in rags."Such a bold and unrestrained Korean naturally aroused discussions among his compatriots. When Jin Jiu heard about it, he became curious and observed secretly for many days. Jin JiuShi appreciates his ambition.So, they raised funds to subsidize him in selling vegetables in Hongkou area.Yin Fengji understood and buried his hatred deep in his heart. He used his ability to speak Japanese to fight fiercely with the Japanese. He often delivered food to some Japanese families and troops to familiarize himself with the situation, collect intelligence, and prepare for revenge.

On April 1932, 4, Jin Jiu decided to send Yin Fengji to complete the mission of assassinating Bai Chuan and destroying the "Songhu War Victory Conference".Yin Fengji knelt under the flag of Taiji, "Boom, boom, boom", kowtowed three times, then got up and said to Jin Jiu: "Minister Jin, give the order!"

According to the rules, Kim Goo presided over the ceremony for Yoon Bong-gil to join the "Korean Patriotic Corps".Before taking the oath and taking the photo, Jin Jiu asked for his opinion again: "Bong Ji, there is no chance of survival. You have the old and the young. If you regret it, there is still time..."

"No!" Yin Fengji said, "This is the value of my life! As long as I live, the grass and trees will fall. Instead of living like a pig or dog, it's better to fight vigorously."

"I know you have made up your mind. But as an elder, I still want to remind you that a person has only one life. Moreover, you are still very young, and your parents, wife, and children are still looking forward to your return..."

"No! Mr. Jin, everything about me belongs to the motherland and belongs to freedom. The motherland is still under the rule of the Japanese, and the people are still living a life of subjugated slaves who are not as good as cattle and horses. I’m ashamed! Since the Japanese don’t let us live like human beings, what do we have to worry about? Kill one and save money; kill one pair and earn one.”

"Well, on behalf of the provisional government, I thank you on behalf of all the oppressed and insulted people!" Jin Jiu opened his arms, hugged Yin Bongji tightly, and burst into tears.After a while, he said solemnly in Yin Fengji's ear: "Righteous man, you can do it with confidence. I am alive, and your parents are my parents; I am dead, and I will visit you under the underworld. At that time, we will The two of you are carefree, and you can only rest when you get drunk..."

Next, Yoon Bong-gil solemnly swore an oath under the banner of Taiji: "Restore the independence and freedom of the motherland with absolute sincerity, and for a member of the Korean Patriotic Corps who intends to assassinate this enemy general who invaded China, I hereby swear."

On the 27th, he and Jin Jiu went for a "walk" in Hongkou Park and saw the Japanese army building a 2-meter-high and 6-meter-wide inspection stand.After I came out, I bought a portrait of General Shirakawa and a small sun flag at a Japanese-owned bookstore.After returning, the two of them did further research and felt that the Japanese army organized large-scale activities. For safety reasons, it is necessary to use mine detectors to conduct security checks on passing personnel.The original plan to use a large bamboo shell thermos bottle to hold the platinum bomb was inconvenient to implement.The "Shanghai Daily News" run by the Japanese reported: "Participants are welcome to bring 'bento' and water bottles. After the victory celebration, they can organize a picnic by themselves."He found Wang Xiong, the director of weapons of the lieutenant colonel of the Shanghai Arsenal overnight, and asked Chinese engineer Wang Boxiu to develop it urgently.

At 29:9 on the [-]th, the Zhujie military parade began. Soldiers in the phalanx held [-] large-capped rifles, bayonets flashed, and their steps were clanging. They were reviewed one by one;

On the reviewing platform, there were not only senior Japanese officials such as General Shirakawa, but also foreign envoys who were invited.Under the stage, more than a dozen gendarmes were armed with live ammunition and lined up in a semicircle. The farthest distance was more than 20 meters from the rostrum, and the closest one was more than ten meters away.

Yin Bongji was among the cheering crowd, feeling hot and cold for a while.Time flies so slowly.Can't move blindly.If it hurts foreign envoys, it will backfire and arouse hatred towards South Korea from countries all over the world.

Finally, the hour hand moved to 11:[-] with difficulty, and the military parade ended.Foreign envoys left.The military-civilian gala was held next, and the Japanese naval military band played "The Generation of Kings".All the people looked solemn, motionless, and sang in unison.Yin Bongji, who had squeezed into the front row, sang very happily just like everyone else. When the Japanese national anthem was about to end, he quietly pulled up the safety bag on his lunch bag and threw it at Baichuan.The bento wrapped in white cloth drew a beautiful arc in the air, as if sensible, impartial, and landed right at Bai Chuan's feet.When Bai Chuan saw the "gift" flying in, he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that he would commit the crime of deceiving the king and contempt the country by moving around during the performance of the national anthem.

There was a loud "boom", thick smoke billowed, and "The Generation of the King" came to an abrupt end.

The assassination succeeded in one fell swoop, Yin Fengji was ecstatic and couldn't control himself.He laughed, jumped high, and shouted wildly: "Success, success!" He danced and took off the military water bottle he was carrying on his back, ready to throw it over again.And the Japanese gendarmes and civilians who woke up from the explosion, like a pack of hungry wolves, rushed towards Yin Bongji fiercely, hugging his waist, pulling his hands, pulling his hair.Punched and kicked like raindrops, Yin Bongji was bloody and dying...

When the gendarmes escorted him out of the scene, Yin Bongji, who was already somewhat conscious, shouted as he walked, "Come and catch me! I threw the bomb! Little devils, I'm going to kill you all...dead!"
