I hate the Communist Party chapter 171
Mainland China, which had been followed by maddening destruction and slaughter, was now entering a different phase.
[I command the believers and the people with the authority delegated by His Majesty! Do not suppress the boxers! And I declare to the Western powers! The Boxers are also the people of the Qing Dynasty, so if you attack them without our permission, I will consider it as an attack against the Qing Dynasty!]
With attacks already being made not only to Western civilians, but also to institutions such as legislatures in various places, Empress Seo’s declaration was bound to be accepted by the powers.
[Although the Boxers have committed all sorts of cruelty, if they attack them, there will be only war! If you are confident, try it.]
And the powers responded very politely to this scourge of Empress Seo.
With guns and cannons.
“This war is not about increasing colonies or securing resources! It’s a war of civilization and non-civilization, reason and barbarity, justice and injustice! Like our ancestors, who embarked on an expedition without promise without knowing whether they would succeed or fail in order to defend their faith in the past, we must go on a modern crusade!”
Although there were some parts of the boxers movement that clearly exceeded the degree, there were many famous speeches in European countries that turned away from the fact that they are also responsible for their anti-colonial tendencies due to foreign exploitation.
However, although it was difficult to determine who was more immoral, it was easy to determine who had more powerful physical power at the moment.
This is because the whole body was proving that the words that the bullets would escape by themselves, or that they would not injure or die even if they were shot by memorizing the congratulatory sentences that the members of the group proudly spoke.
The winter breeze in November, the last year of the 19th century, was fierce, but the eyes of each of the mighty soldiers in front of Tianjin Port were hot.
Whatever the reason the boxers took place, it was clear that their actions crossed the line.
The stimulating expressions and news written by newspapers to compete with each other to increase sales were enough to make these young people a sense of mission rather than just thinking they were carrying out orders.
“I will kill all motherfuckers, those who cannot be called humans.”
The words the unknown soldier muttered were representing their feelings.
It seemed like a hint that if they landed at Tianjin Port and captured the city, the Blue Narans there would not have a very good end.
“Admiral, it’s time.”
“What about the contact from the Qing Dynasty?”
“No.”
“Okay, then I can’t help it. The entire fleet should start shelling freely at the present time. Let our friends land after the bombardment is over.”
“Okay! Free shooting at this time!”
bang! Kwakwang!
The Qing dynasty’s navy, who tried to come out to defend Tianjin Port, could not even leave the port.
It would not have been so helpless if there was even the garden and the original space that had been stored during the Sino-Japanese War, but the biggest power gaps they had were still not filled.
“Let’s land! Land!”
“Don’t show mercy to them! They are less than humans!”
The disappearance of the few Qing naval forces meant that there were no obstacles for the landing of the powers.
Words similar to the words that the boxers screamed while committing the massacre sprang out everywhere.
Despite sporadic resistance from the remaining legislators and the Qing army, it was not enough to confront the coalition forces, whose eyes were already overturned by revenge.
“Do not back down! If we had the amulet that was given to us, their guns couldn’t harm us… … Go!”
When the commander, who was encouraging the troops, fell colorlessly to what he said, a disturbance spread through the boxers.
“Oh, no. He said you only have to memorize the congratulatory sentence! Doesn’t all this and all die?”
“To say that amulets are useless, then congratulations are useless!”
The courage that was built up by superstition and crowd sentiment was as fast as it was built up, and as quickly as it collapsed.
The appearance of the Allied Forces chasing the boxers running away with abandoning weapons and turning their backs to cause casualties reminded me of hunting, not war.
In the meantime, there were those who attacked with swords in the blind spot where their eyes were limited, but what they encountered was a cold muzzle.
After crushing the resistance at the port, the Allied forces proceeded to the city, but no organized resistance was found there either.
This was because the Qing Dynasty army, including the Jinhuadan, who said that it could block the shells and bullets of Westerners with only a coat of women’s urine or discharge, had already run away.
The appearance of the allied forces entering the city without much resistance was remarkably similar to the scenery being unfolded by the boxers in China, not even here.
Fires from looting sprang up everywhere, and screams began to scream in every alley.
The Allied forces, which had occupied Tianjin at a high level, were now scheduled to begin their march to Beijing.
Originally, it was thought that it would take some time over the question of which country will take command, but surprisingly, this was easily resolved.
Although the British participated in the Allied Forces, it was difficult to make a loud voice due to the fact that the Russians were still stationed in London, helping to maintain security, and Russia, which was expected to be the strongest in command, showed an unexpected step back.
When things came to pass, it was decided that the issue of command was taken over by Germany, the most active of the rest of the country.
Although Tianjin was easily occupied, the number of troops today was merely a collection of troops that could be mobilized near the Qing Dynasty. Agreed to do.
So while the Allied forces prepared their expedition to Beijing, even in the north, a group of troops began marching toward their targets.
100,000 Russian troops were heading for Manchuria because of the danger to their own assets and people in Manchuria due to the boxers.
And they weren’t the only ones who had their own goals.

“When the hell will I be able to receive a reply!”
Gojong was in anguish.
No, even though he, the king of one country, sent a letter, he was slow to reply.
In fact, even if the United States took Kojong’s request seriously, the issue of dispatching troops was not a matter that could only be decided by the President.
It was a simple reason for Gojong to get so angry, even though the process of passing not only the House of Representatives to the Senate could have been completed shortly.
He lacked an understanding of the American political system.
As the intellectuals of Joseon were not fools, they knew that they and the powers had different political systems, and that the president was in a different position than the king of the East.
However, for Gojong, this was not a problem that touched.
The important thing was that I thought the time it took to respond was too long.
“It’s important to go to Manchuria as soon as possible! Only the time that the Qing Dynasty endures is the time to achieve great business!”
“Majesty! Majesty!”
“Five! Has the news finally arrived?”
The sound of urgently calling himself into Gojong’s ear, who was in anguish like that, was what he had been waiting for. It is enough to forgive Min Young-hwan, who dared to scream and ran away even though he was before.
Gojong cleared his face and opened his mouth, striving to put dignity in his voice.
“Yes, what did the US Corporation say?”
However, the answer that came back had nothing to do with Gojong’s expectations, no, the opposite.
“It’s a big deal, Majesty! You have to get away from yourself quickly!”
“What a big deal! What are you talking about!”
“I think I can answer that question, Your Majesty.”
The answer to the question came from a different person, not from Min Young-hwan, who just ran up and is out of breath.
When he looked at the place where Gojong had been heard, he frowned on his own.
This was because it was one of the biggest obstacles to what he planned.
Fortunately, I thought that the other hurdle was to go to the Qing Dynasty due to this boxer movement, and I thought it was easier, but the name of the guy who showed only minimal courtesy was Choi Jae-hyung.
‘The Choi Jae-hyung and Min Young-hwan are coming together.’
Gojong’s head started turning.
Something must have been twisted.
‘If I was caught, I should say that Min Young-hwan did it arbitrarily and has nothing to do with me.’
It was too big for a minister to do it, but Gojong was willing to show off flippers without reluctance, as he did not leave any official evidence such as a document with a scepter.
Gojong, who finished the calculation in his head, said to Jaehyung Choi with a calm face.
“Yes, you can answer me. But no matter how much you are a subject of the Russian Empire, don’t think that this rudeness will go lightly. I will be seriously protesting this time.”
The conversation between the king and his servants was cut off, and Gojong felt unpleasant as he saw the appearance of only a light bow and not polite.
“I have to be polite to you, but I am sorry to commit such rudeness because it is too urgent to do so, Majesty.”
Choi Jae-hyung expressed his apology for his words, but it was still rude to Gojong’s feelings.
Gojong opened his mouth again and tried to reproach him, but when he heard Choi Jae-hyung’s words, he could feel his head turning white.
“Five hours from now, the news came that a fleet believed to be Japanese had appeared in the offshore of Busan. Your Majesty’s army bravely confronted this, but as no further news has yet been delivered, it seems that Busan was captured by Japan.”
Japan? Japan. Why are they suddenly coming out of here?
Gojong could not understand.
I could only know one thing.
How the person in front of him behaves will determine whether this will be the second coming of the Imjin War, or whether the Japanese forces will not escape from Gyeongsang Province, not the third son, and will be driven out.
“Of course, the tsars of the Russian Empire have expressed their anger over this mean raid without a declaration of war by Japan. He also expressed his intention to give you all the help he could provide.”
“Is that really?”
Even before he heard the news that Busan was attacked, the feeling that it was strange that a tsar from far away knew this first was buried in the joy of the Russian Empire helping Joseon in this matter.
In addition, if this is the case, it is not even to say that Min Young-hwan should jump and escape.
“How can I lie to the Majesty about these things?”
“Oh, hmm. Is it true what interest just said?”
“… … Yes, your Majesty.”
After confirming that this was true to Min Young-hwan, Gojong cleared out his proposal to the United States.
“Your Majesty, as the situation is urgent, we will take your Majesty first. I think it would be a good idea to discuss the exact countermeasures there.”
“Hmm, it would be better to do that.”
When Choi Jae-hyung’s words were over, Min Young-hwan tried to tell Gojong something, but his mouth only opened when Choi Jae-hyung looked at him and kept silence.
“Don’t worry, Majesty. We will take you to a very safe and comfortable place.”
