I hate the Communist Party chapter 168
“finally!”
The sky is helping Joseon. Gojong swallowed his back horse behind his throat.
Contrary to Min Young-hwan’s thoughts, Gojong was already feeling that there were many eyes and ears planted by Noseo-ah in the current palace.
On an ambitious night, even now, there seems to be only a few court ladies and eunuchs standing behind the window, he knew he had to be careful with his words.
Nevertheless, the ridiculous sound that came out of his last solo meeting with Min Young-hwan was deliberately spoken to make them regard himself as a stupid king who could not even distinguish between heaven and earth.
‘It is the same that Min Yeong-hwan can’t trust him. What do you mean to see and believe a guy who even sticks a knife in his family’s back!’
Min Yeong-hwan’s inner heart, which he did not believe, would have disappointed Gojong, but he did not forget which country he was a servant of, but the people around him could be divided into two.
Those who pose a threat to their security and those who do not pose a threat.
It was a simple dichotomy, but it was a dichotomy that could be said to be exemplary for the monarch of the despot state. Except for the fact that it has been a long time since the times have become too complex to remain in place only with this classification method.
However, it was Gojong who possessed a genius ability that could be said to be natural as much as the ability to keep his place as it is.
It was the misfortune of Joseon that his ability was more suitable for a merchant or a commoner seeking success than a monarch of a country.
Even such a Gojong couldn’t control his emotions momentarily when he heard the news just received. This is because he wrote down a golden opportunity to realize the leap to the imperial power he had longed for in his dreams.
There were ugly words that the river turned red in the wake of an uproar all over the Qing Dynasty, and the spears with Westerners’ heads wandering around the town, killing all Westerners without covering women and children.
In addition, when I read the news that the great powers were losing money financially because of the destruction of hospitals, cathedrals, churches, railroads, etc. of buildings built by Westerners as well as human lives, I even smiled at King Gojong’s mouth.
Lastly, not only the general Westerners were in trouble, but even the consulate city, where diplomats from each country were gathered, was besieged by mobs. It was.
‘The Empress Sujeonggung seems to be senile.’
In the eyes of King Gojong, this incident could be prevented by himself, no matter how much the Qing Dynasty was going down.
However, seeing it exploded in this way, it seemed obvious that he had taken actions such as pretending not to see it even though he was not actively encouraging it.
This is because a country less than 100 years after suffering from Taepyeong Heaven could not know that suspicious religious groups were walking around.
Then the conclusion was one. Empress Seo, who is currently in control of the Qing Dynasty, is using this uproar to somehow drive out the powers or at least devise to improve the inequality treaties that have been made so far.
Although it was concluded that it was impossible with the abacus in Gojong’s head.
‘Although the responsibility of defeat in the last Sino-Japanese War was passed on to the Han Chinese officials, the Empress could not escape responsibility, so it seems that Gwang-seo-je is trying to take the last gamble before purging himself out of his grip.’
Is it possible that it will be the way you decide.
Gojong quietly shouted. As long as he had a head, he thought it would be impossible for the current East Asian countries to get out of the grip of the powers on their own.
The Qing Dynasty, which had that huge size, also failed, and even Japan, which seemed to be the most advanced among the three East Asian countries, had its wings broken and crashed.
But now the situation has changed. This is because there was no way for the powers to remain silent because their own people were slaughtered and the buildings containing their own capital were destroyed during the uprising in the Qing Dynasty.
If so, somehow, the countries affected by this crisis would unite and make the Qing Dynasty pay the price, but Gojong aimed at this point.
No matter how much the Qing Dynasty was a paper tiger, it was still large enough to be on the top of the world, and that means, no matter how powerful it is, it would take some time to settle this turmoil.
And when their eyes were focused on the mainland of the Qing Dynasty, Gojong decided to take care of what he wanted.
As it is certain that the movement will turn into a failure, I thought that if the Qing Dynasty became more maniac than now, even if Joseon advanced to Manchuria, it would not respond much.
But if there is one problem.
‘The problem is that the Noseo-ah guys are already holding Manju.’
In accordance with the treaty signed after the Sino-Japanese War, Russia was virtually rubbing Manchuria to its own taste by building railroads all over Manchuria and linking it with the Trans-Siberian railroad.
Manchuria is clearly the land of the Qing Dynasty, and it was correct that officials and residents of the Qing Dynasty have been living since the Bonggeum Ordinance was lifted.
And even though Gojong thought that Joseon today could handle the Qing Dynasty, who had become an anti-path, he did not think that even Russia could do that.
In addition, even those who are not familiar with the international situation except East Asia knew that Russia was the most popular power in recent years.
In fact, even if he didn’t go there, Gojong knew that as a person who had witnessed the power of Russia during the last civil war, King Gojong could not push out Russia with the power of Joseon alone.
Yes, only by the power of Joseon.
‘I said now. Wouldn’t it be time to deal with the same western oranges if they were western oranges?’
Then, the remaining question was which country to attract.
Britain’s strongest in tradition and knowing that the case with Russia is not good just by looking at the Geomundo incident? Or, as you hear, Germany is said to be growling over European supremacy? If not there, France, who just won the Qing Dynasty just a while ago?
‘No, no.’
These three countries were also won by Gumi, but the country that actually received Gojong’s “gantaek” was different. A country where money is everything, a country that has little to do with Russia—as Kojong thinks—and, above all, a country that seems to have no greed for territory compared to other countries mentioned earlier.
‘I think I should bake the dog with money and boil it in advance.’
Gojong was obsessed with the obsession that he should not miss this opportunity. If it wasn’t now that Kutuzov, a Russian figure who showed their strength in the aforementioned Minran, left Korea, it seemed that there would never be a chance to devour Manchuria or step on foot again.
‘It is said that Miri Dog is wandering looking for a corner where money is coming out recently, but if you buy it for that point, you will be able to use it to drive out Russia. After that, if the conditions for passing over the railway company occupied by Russia are given to them in advance, they will have no choice but to be harsh.’
In Kojong’s opinion, this strategy seemed to have a much higher chance of success compared to the clumsy gambling of Empress Seo.
Without realizing that it was Yongho Sang-bak when compared to Empress Seo, who overlooked the lack of knowledge about the international situation, his stereotypes, and the position difference between Joseon and Russia in the international community.

Ahhhhhhhhh~!
Somewhere I heard a woman’s scream. It wasn’t that far, as predicted by the loudness.
As a gentleman, Pauliner deservedly had to go there to help the woman, but he couldn’t.
“They are getting closer and closer!”
“Shh, shh. Don’t listen. Cover your ears, baby. We will be fine.”
It wasn’t just because he had a woman running beside him and a child he was holding. Pauliner was afraid.
“Will we be okay?”
I asked him with an audible pronunciation if the woman was running and not even breathing. Contrary to the fact that he had just reassured the child that nothing would happen, he seemed to have exposed his anxiety when he closed his ears.
He thought it wouldn’t matter if it was heard that there was a riot of the Blue Narans around Beijing. This is because the Qing army stationed in Beijing dared not let the mob enter the place even if it was second.
Was that so? A few days ago, Pauliner seemed to be dreaming when he saw the lunatics who had stepped through the city gates of Beijing. Literally low-level dreams that don’t make sense even to be called a nightmare.
“Oh, yes. Huh! Huh! For us, it will be okay, scary.”
Soon from his mouth, the same words she said when reassuring the child came out, but he did not believe what he said.
Even now, in the event of an emergency, I was wondering if I could save my life if I abandoned her and the child as scapegoats and ran away.
Smoke, flames and screams were constantly being heard throughout the streets. Even if you enter a building somewhere and try to hide yourself, the only thing that comes back is the cry,’Here’s a Westerner!’ They seemed to be abandoned in the world.
The place where they were running with anxiety, as if their hand tightening from moment to moment, would snatch their backs, was no less than Noah’s ark.
“Go, if you only go to the Legislature Street, heo-eup! Ugh! You will be able to buy it!”
Pauliner said that he would be able to live by going to the legionaries stationed by troops from Western powers, not the incredible Qing soldiers. Although this was actually more of a reassurance of his party, it was more about giving it back to himself.
How many minutes have passed since my heart bursts and runs through the crowded streets. The time when the flow of time became meaningless and felt as though his legs were not part of the body. At the time when she was kicking her tongue at the mindset of a gentleman engraved on her body, unwittingly adjusting her pace to her slowing down.
I could see that the reaper who had been avoiding until now had finally caught up with them.
‘I would have had to go a little bit more in the future!’
Pauliner could see that as the ending came before his eyes, he became calmer, contrary to the scream in his head. Contrary to what I thought until now that I would throw a party and run away, I whispered to her, turning someone’s head around and turning their backs at the approaching mob.
“When I run in, I run away with my child.”
“Yes Yes?”
“I don’t have time to speak twice. then.”
Rushing bare-handed at the boxers, Pauliner thought this was the most shining moment in his life. Isn’t it the same situation as the article in the story? Sacrificing for Lady.
‘Yes, like a gentleman.’
“Get down!”
Even if I heard Russian from somewhere, until my knees broke and fell without my knowledge.
Tatatatang!
After the tearing noise passed, Pauliner carefully raised his head and looked behind him. Fortunately, she and the child also seemed to be okay, even though they had an expression that they did not understand English.
As he watched the mob who had just been in front of him turned into a handful of blood and meat, people approached him who made a modest move beyond the swaying smoke.
Pauliner felt his Mac loosen. Because he survived.
