[1] They carry out the anti-Japanese independence movement more effectively at the South Manchurian Unification Association held in Magwonja, Nam-gu, Hwanin-hyeon, Bongcheon-province.
[1] Through the Gando Massacre in 1920 and the Free City Incident in 1921, the armed independence units in Manchuria suffered a heavy blow.
[citation needed] After two years of struggle, including the subjugated Zhou Gu-bae (走狗輩), they restored Manchuria, but a single independence movement group could not be formed.
The people responsible for the restoration of the Manchuria region was Lee Woong-hae (李雄海) as general commander, Jeon Deok-won (全德元) as staff member, Oh Dong-jin (吳東振) as treasurer, Hyeon Jeong-gyeong (玄正卿) as judicial officer, Kim Woo-geun (金宇根) as liaison, and secretary.
[1] In February 1922 in the West Jiandao area, the Han Chinese Association, the Military administration, Korean Independence Foundation, The Korean Unification Government (大韓統軍府), a large-scale anti-Japanese organization formed through this alliance, expanded and developed into an integrated struggle group in the western Jiandao area in August of that year.
[1] Accordingly, representatives of the Han Chinese Association, Seorogunjeongseo, and Korean Independence Group united the organizations that had been dispersed until now at the mouth of Hwanin-hyeon, Bongcheon-seong in February 1922 and established the Unification Military Government.
[3][4] The Unification Military Government held a central staff meeting on June 3, 1922 and decided to actively pursue integration with other organizations in the southern Manchuria area.
[5] Each organization resolved six issues, including dismantling and integrating all existing systems, changing the name of its military unit to Unification Government Volunteer Army, and preparing a charter with 9 chapters and 63 articles.
[4][2][5] In December of the following year, Kim Woo-geun (金宇根) led the Volunteer Army and engaged in a battle with the Junggangjin Jeongjeong Artillery Guard, injuring 11 enemy soldiers.
[1] Because the Korean Unification Government was an alliance of various forces in the western Jiandao region from the time of its establishment, there were differences in ideology and policy from the beginning.
[1] On October 14, 1922, an incident occurred in which about 20 soldiers of the Pro-Japanese collaborators murdered Propaganda Director Kim Chang-ui (金昌義) and captured and beat key executives of Korean Unification Government, including Yang Gi-tak.
[1] Excluding Jeon Deok-won from key positions in the early days of the founding of Unification Government caused dissatisfaction among republicans.
They were deployed to 12 districts, including Heunggyeong (興京), Hwanin (桓仁), Tonghwa (通化), Gaipan (集安), and Yuha (柳河), were appointed as governors.
The plan to raise military funds within Joseon and establish the Gyeongseong branch of Tonguibu in Seoul became known to the public and attracted attention.
In addition, the Ministry of Tongui sought a way out through military defense and negotiation against China, which attempted to restrain the independence army forces under the pressure of Japan at the time.
The governor and district chief protected Koreans in the region, collected taxes, and worked to promote the spirit of independence.
They encouraged side jobs for Koreans, opened labor training centers to provide farming education, planned the establishment of factories, and created stock companies.
[2] In July 1924, they were attacked by a group of bandits bribed by the Japanese military, and although they tried to avoid a meaningless battle, commander Shin Pal-gyun and crew member Yoo Gyeong-ryeol were killed in the fight.
Meanwhile, Kim Sa-heon (金史軒), Seon Woo-il (鮮于一), and others worked hard to promote the national spirit and enlighten the people through education by editing and publishing brochures.
