第五章・伊藤博文の悪事 / Evil deed of Hirobumi Ito


 42)最初に伊藤博文公の悪事を語らなくてはならない。

彼は初代統監に就任すると、1905年に 「 日韓保護条約 」 と1907年に 「 日韓新協約 」 を結んだ。

当時の韓国は国全体が壊滅的な財政難に見舞われており、政官業の至る処で不正と腐敗が蔓延し、とても国家と言える状態ではなかった。

43)日本と条約を結ぶ以前は、両班と称する不労所得貴族集団が、国民から財産や生産物を奪い、農民たちは泥を舐める様な瀕死の状態に喘いでいた。

清国に支配された五百数十年は、主要道路を作る訳でもなく、上下水道がある訳でもなしに、学校とても名ばかりで数える程しか存在しなかったのです。

44)伊藤博文は就任以来三年の間に、日本から 「 あるとき払いの催促なし 」 の資金三千万円を調達し、あらゆる公共事業を展開しました。

学校・病院・道路・橋梁・上下水道・鉄道などの整備に明け暮れます。

また、政府の大臣や地方長官は、韓国人を登用し日本人にはその補佐役を命じ、難しい土木工事などの荒蕪地開発は日本人を任命する慎重さだった。

45)伊藤博文は、殆どの国民が読み書きの出来ない事を重視し、一般人の為に 「 普通学校令 」 を公布し通学を義務付けた。

統監時代の三年間に100校を築造し、日本が敗戦を迎えるまでに学校の数は五千校に達したのです。この中には日本帝国大学として第六番目の京城帝国大学も含まれていました。

同時にインフレに悩む民衆の為に朝鮮を円通貨圏に統合した。朝鮮史上で紙幣が流通したのはこの時が最初です。

46)兎に角、日韓併合の前後は何をやるにも先立つ資金が全くなかった。

時の国家財政は歴史を映す鏡と云われるが、隣国に支配された李氏朝鮮の518年は、政治も経済も政府自体も存在せず、極少数の支配階級と大多数の奴隷国民だけだったのです。

お座なりの中華共産思想による夢想と空論は、朝鮮民族に取って腐食した儒教と朱子学から生み出された不幸の副産物であろう。

47)古来よりの朝鮮民族の風習は無残に捨て去られ、社会・科学・宗教・芸術を否定し続け、巷の両班( 小役人 ) 階級が住民を蛆虫の如く虐げる執政では、勤労意欲以前に飢餓による人口減少まで併発した。

当時の国家収入は740万円前後に対し必要な歳出は三千万円にもおよび、完全なる破産状態でありました。

48)こうした朝鮮の惨状を見かねた伊藤博文は、目賀田種太郎を財務顧問に招き、日本国民の血税で不足歳出金を直接埋め合わせ、朝鮮国家再生の礎を築いたのです。

総監府時代の四年間だけでも日本の立替金は1400万円強に達し、司法や警察官の給与などを加えると、9000万円を超えております。

49)余談ではあるが、1910年8月29日に日韓併合が成立すると、明治天皇陛下は恩賜として朝鮮へ金3000万円を与えた。

恩賜金は旧朝鮮の借入金と相殺し日本政府に支払われたのです。

この様に伊藤博文公は凶弾に倒れるまでの間、朝鮮政府および朝鮮民族に対し悪事の限りを尽くしたのであります


Chapter 5 / Evil deed of Hirobumi Ito



42)You must talk about an evil deed of Prince Hirofumi Ito first.
When he took office as the first commander, I concluded "a Japan-Korea new agreement" in "Japan-Korea protectorate treaty" and 1907 in 1905.
Then Korea was hit by the financial difficulty that the whole country was crushing, and injustice and corruption spread in the place where politics and a bureaucrat and the industry reached and were not in condition that it might be said when it was at all a modern nation.

43)The thane group which did not have work on the pretence of yang-ban took property and a product away from the nation before concluding a treaty with Japan, and farmers panted in the critically ill state that seemed to lick the mud.
For five hundred years ruled by the country of Shin, I did not make a major road, and a school was nominal at all, and, without for the reason with water and sewage, only a few existed.

44)Hirofumi Ito recruited fund 30 million yen on a condition to say when "there was no repeated demand of the payment once" since the assumption of office from the Japanese Government during three years and developed every public works project.
I spend all my time maintenance such as a school, a hospital, a road, a bridge, water and sewage, the railroad. In addition, a minister and the prefectural governor of the government appointed a Korean and appointed the aide to Japanese.
When I put it for the development of public works, I assigned  Japanese staff to a difficult on-site duty of the desert land.

45)Hirofumi Ito made much of that the reading and writing did not have most nations and I promulgated "normal laws of education" for a commoner and obliged it to attending school and constructed 100 in the commander times and reached 5,000 by the Japanese defeat.
I integrate Korea with the yen currency zone for the people troubled with inflation at the same time. It is the first thing that paper money circulated in Korea history.

46)Anyway, there was not money to precede to do what before Japan-Korea merger afterward.
The national finance of time was a mirror to project the history on, but was only the governing classes of the minimum number and the majority of slave nations without the politics and the economy and the government existing for 518 years of Rishi-Chosen ruled by the neighboring country.
It will be a by-product of misfortune brought about by Confucianism and the satin studies that I take a dream and the desk theory by perfunctory Chinese food Communist Party thought in the Korea race and corroded.

47)The manners and customs of the Korea race from ancient times were thrown away mercilessly and continued denying society, science, religion, art, and public yang-ban (petty official) rank developed it until a population decline by the starvation before the will to work by the Council of Elders to oppress inhabitants like a maggot.
As for the then national income, as for the annual expenditure that was necessary for around 7,400,000 yen, to 30 million yen and the complete bankruptcy were in a state.

48)Hirofumi Ito unable to remain indifferent to such a Korean terrible sight invited Tanetaro Mekata as a financial advisor and made up for money of lack annual expenditure directly and built the foundation of the Korea nation reproduction with the tax of the Japanese citizen.
When the Japanese advance reaches a little over 14 million yen only in four years of the inspector-general prefecture era and adds the salaries of the judiciary and the police officer, I exceed 90 million yen.

49)It was a digression, but the His Majesty Emperor Meiji gave 30 million yen as a royal gift to Korea when Japan-Korea merger was established on August 29, 1910.
The money of royal gift offset it with borrowed money of former Korea, and it was paid by the Japanese Government.
Prince Hirofumi Ito repeated absorption in evil deed in this way for Korea Government and the Korea race till he was shot to death by an assassin.
