Authentic Korean-Chinese-Japanese World History 7
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Joseon achieves a miraculous victory amidst the onslaught of Western powers!
Volume 7 tells the story of Joseon, which entered a new phase with the rise to power of Heungseon Daewongun, and China after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Joseon, which was eradicating the politics of the powerful factions, correcting the corruption of the three governments, and settling internal strife, was hit by two foreign shocks: the General Sherman Incident and the Byeong-in Yangyo.
Will the Joseon ship be able to continue its voyage against the imperialist storm sweeping toward the Korean Peninsula? Will China, in a state of shared suffering, be able to quell the embers of the Taiping Rebellion and succeed in its Self-Strengthening Movement?

Into the book
In this way, Heungseon Daewongun carried out reforms over a period of roughly seven years from 1864 to 1871. However, in the Joseon system that lived off the land, the people were unable to properly live off the land and were struggling, but thanks to Heungseon Daewongun's reform policies, they were able to live off the land a little better.
Shouldn't we realize that right now, in the 1860s, China and Japan were creating wealth on a scale never before possible through trade and tariff revenue?
At this point, the vast ocean of capitalist wealth that the West has opened up through industrialization is a story from another universe.
For the elites of Joseon at the time, wealth beyond the level of digging up land was an unimaginable realm.
--- p.16~17, from “Chapter 1_Heungseon Daewongun’s Reforms and Mistakes!”
In February 1866, the second year of Daewongun's reign, an order to eradicate Catholicism was issued.
Catholics are arrested one after another across the country, and nine French priests, including Bishop Berneux, are also arrested.
All nine French priests were executed.
Executions of Catholics continued throughout the country, and this persecution continued until the fall of Daewongun (1866-1873), ultimately resulting in the execution of 8,000 people.
At that time, about half of the Catholics in Joseon were massacred.
The persecution of Byungin was known abroad and left a strong impression.
Even in France, the country of origin, and in the West, Heungseon Daewongun was remembered as a massacrer of Catholics until the 20th century.

In May 1866, Emperor Gojong's state wedding took place and an envoy to Beijing set out to request the new bride's appointment as queen.
During this journey, the chief of staff, Hong Sun-hak, diligently wrote a travelogue, and this travelogue is called 『Yeonhaengga』.
The real mission of this 1866 provincial office was to conduct diplomatic activities in Beijing in anticipation of the imminent French invasion, while also gathering intelligence on the French invasion plans, objectives, and size of the expeditionary force.
… Oh Gyeong-seok wrote a report on the progress and information collected so far.
Oh Gyeong-seok's report was sent to Daewongun.

On the morning of November 9, 160 French soldiers led by Colonel Olivier advanced briskly toward Jeongjok Mountain Fortress, and the gunners hiding behind the eastern gate battlements fired a volley.
The French were able to inflict greater damage thanks to their advance into the horseshoe-shaped line of the eastern gate.
The French army soon regrouped and counterattacked.
The gunfight from the East Gate to the South Gate continued for five hours, and finally, when they ran out of ammunition and were in despair, the enemy retreated.
The French army also ran out of ammunition.
Above all, the donkeys that brought lunch boxes ran away, so they were too hungry to fight any longer.
The Joseon army excitedly pursued the retreating French army, but the French army's retreat was so severe that the pursuit failed.
It is said that the Joseon army returned to Jeongjok Mountain Fortress, retrieved the lunch boxes lost by the French army, and held a victory banquet.

Publisher's Review
The power of the Korean people shining in the midst of crisis,
Can we save our country from the bayonets of imperialism?
Heungseon Daewongun, who made a surprise appearance in Joseon, a country reeling from the long-standing corruption of factional politics, will he be able to save his nation from the brink of ruin? From the reform of the Three Government Offices to the abolition of the Seowon (private academies), Heungseon Daewongun's charismatic leadership has swayed the court and the government, but an unexpected crisis befalls his reign.
Imperialist powers such as Russia, France, and the United States began to extend their dark claws to Joseon one after another.
The Joseon army is practically useless in the face of the overwhelming firepower of the Western powers, and even the Qing Dynasty, which they trusted, turns its back on them…
In such a desperate situation, how did Joseon achieve the miracle of burning the American merchant ship General Sherman and defeating the French army, the strongest in Europe?
From the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the Self-War Movement,
The Sufferings of the Qing Empire as It Raced Toward the Last Train of Modernization
Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed in 1864, the flames of other great rebellions still raged throughout the Qing Dynasty.
With the Manmong Palgi of the Seungwang, the only military force, being destroyed by the rebels, the Qing Dynasty was left militarily naked, and Li Hongzhang, a scholar from the imperial court who had been waiting for an opportunity, emerged as a rising star to save the country.
Meanwhile, the Qing officials and intellectuals, led by Prince Gong, began the Self-Strengthening Movement to bring in Western technology and achieve a wealthy and strong country. With the establishment of the Jinling Machinery Bureau in Nanjing, the Shanghai Foreign Language and Character Institute and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the Fujian Province Mami Shipyard and Iron and Steel Works, a ray of hope was cast on the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Eventually, even the revision of the unequal treaty with Britain is being discussed… .
Will China be able to escape the path of national ruin and board the last train of modernization?
[Authentic Korean-Chinese-Japanese World History] series
This is foul play! They're not even losing their sense of humor while still providing profound content!
Easily overcoming the historical convention that "you have to memorize it to understand it."
When we talk about 'history', we often have the common perception that it is 'boring' and that 'you have to memorize it to understand it'.
This may be because the memories of memorizing the years and events that occurred during middle and high school history classes are all that remain of our image of history.
In contrast, this series deviates significantly from the conventional wisdom that history must be memorized.
This time, cartoonist Gupsinist has published a historical cartoon that covers the modern history of Korea, China, and Japan, utilizing his major.
This series describes the modern history of 19th-century East Asia, naturally incorporating various subcultures such as games, military, animation, and dramas into it.
As you slowly follow the author's extensive knowledge of history, the various parodies and wordplay that are sprinkled throughout, the zeitgeist and world situation of the time will naturally come to mind.
Through this series, readers will experience a significant reduction in the barriers to entry into history, which has often been perceived as difficult.
In the face of the tidal wave of Western imperialist powers entering the world,
How did Korea, China, and Japan resist or comply?
Why must we read world history through the lens of "Korea, China, and Japan"? To observe the tree of Korean history, our own history, we must first see the forest of Eastern history. Without understanding this, we cannot grasp the larger picture of world history.
To understand our country's past and present, and the global situation, we will compare the history of three East Asian countries.
World history up to now has not strayed far from the form of a brief description of the history of Western powers and the surrounding nations and peoples within the global historical flow they created.
However, history is not only about the military and diplomacy of powerful nations, but also about the resistance and identity of weak nations.
This series is an attempt to break away from the traditional Western-centric historical narrative and look at history from our East Asian perspective.
Among them, we will take a closer look at the period from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, when Korea, China, and Japan were most closely connected.
