The Life and Training Plan of the Independent Army of Bumjae Kim Kyu-heung

Kim Kyu-heung tried to set up a military school in Shanghai to help to recover the national rights of Korea, going forward with the plan of establishing a military school in 1905 and 1906. He had an audience with King Gojong by the agency of Yeon Il-jeong, the wife of Lee Gyeong-jik, and Jo Min-hee, Min Gyeong-ho, and Kang Hong-dae in July, 1907, receiving a clandestine order and a good amount of funding from him. Kim Kyu-heung was exiled to China in March 1908. He joined the Chinese revolutionary party even before Xinhai Revolution, helping with the activities of Zou lu and Chen Qimei. As a result, Luo shiyang and others surveyed the wasteland of Manchuria to assist the independence movement of Korea, and Kim Kyu-heung was able to join Chamui and Gomunwon. On December 20, 1913, he created the magazine Hyanggang Magazine with Park Eun-shik. They probed an “opportunity for Korea to revive” by publishing the magazine. Kim actively facilitated the production of a Tuntian system independence army by working in the society Beijing Gunsa Tong-il Hoi(1922) and the bank Heunghwa Industrial Bank(1922) along with Park Yong-man. He took the position of secretary for Beijing Gunsa Tong-il Hoi under the name of Kim Bok. This was comprised of President Park Yong-man, Vice President Lee Gwang, Manager Kim Wong-bong, and Chief Secretary Jo Nam-cheon. He also set up Heunghwa Industrial Bank along with his Korean colleagues Park Yong-man and Kim Tae-seok and some Chinese investors in early 1922, before which the former Heungguk Industrial Bank was established on November 15, 1919 based on the participation of Kim Gyu-heung and others from Korea and Chen Jiongming and others from China and on the support of influential figures from Korea and China including Sun Wen. They also moved forward with the plan of managing Mt. Seokgyeong Farm between 1922 and 1923. Kim Gyu-heung, Park Yong-man, and Kim Tae-seok attempted to rent a piece of land belonging to a Buddhist temple at Mt. Seokgyeong in Beijing and run a paddy field farm. Those activities were intended to help to raise a unified independence army across Korea, China, and Russia and help the soldiers scattered all over the places return to the farm and run the Tuntian system through the purchase of land in Beijing and Manchuria.
