I hate the Communist Party chapter 172
The news that the Japanese had landed in Busan arrived in less than a day in Hanyang.
In the past, it was a product of advanced science and technology, unlike the one that took several days because there were only means of communication, such as a beacon, where people delivered news directly and only simple information.
In fact, to the Koreans, the current situation in which Japan reveals it to them was not so strange.
This is because, even in the second case of the Imjin Invasion, which has been more than 300 years since the outbreak, it was only 25 years ago that Japanese warships attacked Ganghwado Island and captured the first earthquake, looted and fired.
Since then, it has been a long time since it has been known that they had a battle with the Qing Dynasty over Joseon in the West Sea.
Fortunately, the fight ended in a draw and neither the Qing Dynasty nor Japan could intervene in the Joseon Dynasty, but they had no choice but to realize that they would aim at them if they had a chance.
“Then what happens now? Can we beat Japan?”
“No, at some point, when Ganghwa Island became a large field for one Japanese warship, can we really win?”
“If we don’t, won’t they help us?”
The two men who had been talking anxiously after hearing the news that the Japanese had invaded Busan in Hanyang looked at them, who had been in Hanyang for a few years, but seemingly similar to them, but their nationality was Russian, Korean-American.
As much as they were dispatched to other countries, the head of the chief of staff worked hard to select them, so the equipment and clothing they possessed were not very controversial even compared to the armies of other powers.
“By the way, can I be so quiet for being upset? Actually, it wouldn’t be a big deal for Japanese guys to invade Busan, right?”
“Yes, this man. I think it would be nice if I just listened to what he said. It’s good or nothing. If it were so serious, would your Majesty be quiet?”
However, despite the news that Japan was invading, the current situation in which large-scale military movements or materials were not released, gave the people of Hanyang an optimistic view of the situation.
The war broke out between the state and the state. Could it be so peaceful?
One day after the news that Busan was in danger, strange horses began to wander around the city.
[The king abandoned Hanyang and ran away!]
The horse spread quickly.
Even though the yangban nari, who heard the rumors of an unknown identity, struck the servants asking if they were making nonsense rumors, the horses spread quickly and quickly as if they had life.
When one mouth was closed, it came out through two mouths from a distance, and when two mouths were closed, ten mouths would spread the same word the next day.
Words from human mouth to mouth were faster than news from telegraph or telephone.
As if someone spreads it with intention, as soon as the king heard the news that Japanese troops were coming from all over the city of Hanyang, the words that the king ran away, hiding his face in a kiln, with only a minimum number of attendants to live alone. Popped out.
[The king throws out the court officials and the Jongmyo, and even abandons the heavy war mama and the three sons and runs away alone!]
At first, the story that used to describe it as if it were a goblin without a detailed appearance just like a rumor, took time and gradually began to form bones and gain weight.
At first, those who thought that it was just a rumor that was always coming out in a hurry were forced to gradually have doubts.
Even today, even though there was news that Busan was eventually captured and Japanese troops were heading northward at a high speed, the court was just locked in the gate and kept silent.
The fact that foreigners seen in Hanyang are rushing through Incheon one by one also heightened their anxiety.
When it was heard that there were projects from other countries among them who were leaving Hanyang, an element of credibility began to be added to the anxiety.
What sparked this anxiety was rumors that his relatives saw a mysterious kiln and a dozen attendants secretly exiting the night when the news that Japanese troops had appeared in Busan at Hyehwamun, the northeast gate of Hanyang.
Originally, ambitious nights After the door was closed, I should have checked who was riding in the kiln passing through the city, but when I was told that he passed it without any confirmation,’No way’ became’as if’ and other circumstantial evidences As soon as it was added,’maybe’ became’real?’
Hanyang’s scholars were the first to act.
“Majesty! Since the last 13 years (1875) when external enemies attacked Ganghwa Island and slaughtered our soldiers and people, set fire to government offices, and plundered, something that has been worrying has happened! In the midst of the turmoil between the North and the Qing Dynasty, there are ugly rumors in Hanyang. Please show those who believe in that testament that your Majesty is healthy, and smack the neck of a child who commits such rudeness by being swung over by such bizarre words. Majesty! Please listen to this Korean-American person!”
“Listen, Your Majesty!”
The scholars went out and bowed down in front of the palace and worshiped, but the door of the tightly closed palace showed no sign of opening.
In fact, the reason why the mediation has not come up with any other measures so far was simple.
In fact, it was because Gojong disappeared where he went.
The fact that the national command tower disappeared ahead of the crisis of the Japanese invasion was the same as that the brain of the country of Joseon had disappeared in an instant.
Unlike in modern times, where there are laws that require the vice president or the prime minister to act on behalf of the president to minimize the gap in state affairs, there was no such safeguard in the tyrannical monarchy, and could not exist.
Could it be possible to come up with a story that could be punished for treason just by speaking out the related story?
“What the hell is this about! No one knew that your Majesty was gone! What kind of weird sound you mean! What the hell were Geum Wi-young and Sueo-cheong doing, so they didn’t even know that his Majesty disappeared from the middle of the city!”
“So, who are the people who worked at Hyehwamun, the party of the rumor, that day? Shouldn’t we be forced to go to Uigeumsa and question it?”
“Well, that’s what I tried to find those who worked at Hyehwamun on the day your Majesty’s last appearance… … .”
“I did it?”
“Everyone who said they worked that day said they couldn’t find their whereabouts.”
“Huh, huh. The people who were escorting Gyeongbokgung at the time weren’t all gone?”
“Some of them have already been arrested and entered the Korean language at Euigeumsa, but they consistently say they don’t know, but no one knows where his Majesty is.”
“Some of them. Are there any people who disappeared even in Geum Wi-young?”
“I’m sorry, but for now, I can only say that.”
The ghost was playing a song.
The king, who is escorted more severely than anyone else, disappears from the middle of his country, not from anywhere else, but from the palace where he lives.
“As long as the scholars started like that, it was impossible to keep closing the palace door and staying silent. First of all, as soon as there was an urgent deterioration of the prince, we must thoroughly read the public sentiment and prepare measures for the Japanese military heading north… … .”
“What are you talking about now! You don’t even know where your Majesty is or whether you’re safe, and you have to take over the state affairs! Are you saying that if something goes wrong later, the chief executive can take responsibility?”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that. I wasn’t saying that the lower-down should join the Bowie, I just asked if I should extinguish the fire first.”
In this case, the heavy war, which had to set the direction of the court, was a situation where there was no step in the Gyotae War after Pungbibaksan was accused of assassination by his own family members of the Russian general Kutuzov. It was already after he passed away.
Fortunately, the royal prince was in the palace, but the 27-year-old was not enough to say he was capable of solving this problem.
If he took the initiative in the current situation, he did not know what would be said in the Joseon Dynasty, when he had a controversy over the conquest to hand over the throne to the crown prince as a means of strengthening the kingship.
“Great! Great feeling! Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
The news that came in the midst of that was a great pleasure.
The moment when it was said that the Japanese army was almost passing through Gyeongsang-do when Gojong disappeared, or three days after he disappeared, it was said that the news was finally delivered from Gojong.
However, when they read the Gyoji (敎旨) handed down with joy or relief, they were inevitably stunned.
“no. Is this really the text your Majesty sent you? What the hell is this!”
“It’s ridiculous. Your Majesty is giving me this, this nonsense!”
Contrary to their surprise, however, the oxen stamped in the document was telling us that this document was true.
Gojong himself wrote it down there, so I could see that this document was genuine even in handwriting.
Regardless of whether they think this is true or, conversely, false.
“He is already in Chongjin, and all of the great gods, including the mortuary tablet, the royal court, and the prince of the Jongmyo, come to Chongjin. No, the Japanese enemies haven’t even reached Mungyeongsaejae yet, but your Majesty was saying that he went to the far north because of a fishery.”
“How can I do this? If it leaks out that your Majesty said this, the people gathered in front of you right now won’t stand still.”
In the court, there was an argument about what to do about this, but the conclusion was one.
“First of all, let’s do what the Majesty said.”
“Great!”
“Then, is there anything good for the boss? You will not follow what your Majesty said!”
The next day, the people who gathered in front of the palace again could see that the door that had only been firmly closed was open.
I finally waited and waited for Nara-sama to say something, but nothing changed.
It was only different whether you were silent with the door closed or silent with the door open.
Eventually, when we learned that the inside of the palace was empty by a person who was exhausted and showed courage while waiting, “really?” became “really” and “as well” turned into anger.
After the Imjin War, when Gyeongbokgung Palace was on the verge of being burned by angry people who were not enemies again, the people who stood before them were unexpected.
“Everyone! do not worry! We will never abandon you! Together with us, let’s drive out those wicked Japanese guys and save Hanyang!”
A stylish uniform, a shiny new rifle, and a shiny decoration on the chest.
It did not take long for the Korean-Russians to establish order in Hanyang.
