Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 157
Episode 157: Beomgwol (犯闕) (3)
“A throwing bomb?”
“yes. “Should we say it’s a small bigyeokjincheonroe that regular soldiers can use?”
“Hmm…”
As Naegeumwijang looked around with the throwing bomb in his hand, Hyang beckoned to the soldier standing next to him.
“I’ll show you how to use it.”
“yes.”
As the soldier stood next to him, Hyang twirled open the bottom cap of the throwing bomb. The bottom of the opened bag was sealed with paper, and the center was bulging.
“This protruding part contains the detonator. And the wick is connected to the warhead above this through the shaft.”
After finishing explaining the main parts, Hyang handed the throwing bomb to the soldier.
“Throw! Throw! Throw!”
The soldier who was handed the grenade can shouted a warning in all directions, hit the lower protruding part of the grenade against the protective wall, threw it far away, and ducked under the protective wall. At the same time as the soldiers, Hyang and Naegeumwijang hid themselves under the protective wall.
bang!
Not long after, a loud explosion broke out. When the thrown bomb exploded without any problems, Hyang woke up and looked back at Naegeumwijang.
“How is it?”
After inspecting the place where the explosion occurred, Lieutenant Naegeum said, stroking his beard.
“It’s similar to getting sick of it.”
“You can use it more conveniently than that. “Because there is no need to carry a fire.”
“I see…”
Naegeumwijang nodded and looked back at the scent.
“How much do you have in stock now?”
According to the decision of the Naegumwiwi, a large amount of thrown bombs were divided into small pieces and entered Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Meanwhile, as the situation became more serious, Hyang called Naegeumwijang and asked him questions.
“Have you prepared an evacuation plan for Abamama?”
“Not yet….”
“What is the emergency evacuation plan for the central palace where Mama Mama is?”
“Not yet…”
Hyang sighed softly at Naegeumwijang’s answer.
“Haa~.”
‘There was a reason why the king couldn’t escape and was caught every time a rebellion broke out.’
When Hyang saw Naegeumwijang’s face standing there unable to hide his regret, he calmly took out a piece of paper.
“Let’s get ready.”
When making an evacuation plan when an emergency occurred, the Hyang summoned the Crown Princess, her concubines, and a very few trusted internal officials and explained the evacuation plan.
“That’s it, remember it well and act like this when something goes wrong.”
After Hyang finished speaking, Crown Princess asked Hyang.
“Aren’t you going to join us?”
Hyang answered the Crown Princess’ question firmly.
“I must remain and subdue the enemies.”
In response to Hyang’s response, the Crown Princess bit her lip and made a shocking statement.
“Then Shincheop will also stay.”
“Crown princess! “It’s dangerous!”
“If something goes wrong, will you still be alive? Whether I live or die, I will be with you!”
Hearing the crown prince’s words, Yang Emperor and Yang Won also stepped forward.
“I’ll leave a notebook too!”
“Even a small concubine…”
Hyang looked embarrassed at the remarks of the Crown Princess and Emperor Yang Won.
“Huh…”
But Hyang didn’t stop persuading.
“If something goes wrong, a big fight will break out, so it’s dangerous.”
The Crown Princess smiled and asked back at Hyang’s words.
“Have you forgotten? “Shincheop’s shooting skills are better than that of Haejae.”
“Ah…”
Hyang had no choice but to close his mouth.
* * *
On the first night, while talking with the Crown Princess to break the awkward atmosphere, the story about the President came up.
Hyang, who was intrigued by the Crown Princess’ remark that she was somewhat confident in archery, taught the Crown Princess the shooting techniques of Gap-Sikjang Chongtong and Gap-sik Masang Chongtong.
And the result is….
‘Neighborhood people! There’s a sniper here!’
Hyang let out a silent cry when he saw the divine sight penetrating the center of the target board 50 steps away (approximately 60m) with the Gap-sik Masang Gungun, which is known to have low accuracy even if it is only 30 steps away (approximately 36 m).
“How do you feel about shooting the Fuhrer?”
“It’s even better than archery!”
The Crown Princess answered with a red face.
The Crown Princess, who enjoyed shooting guns, made it her daily routine to drag Yang Emperor and Yang Won to the shooting range.
With so much frequent shooting, it was natural for feedback to come out.
“I have something to tell you…”
When the Crown Princess hesitated to speak, Hyang asked with a smile.
“okay. “What’s going on?”
The Crown Princess, who hesitated at Hyang’s question, got to the point.
“I’ve been shooting the Fuhrer often, so it’s a bit of a problem…”
Hyang’s face became serious at the Crown Princess’ words.
“problem? Where did it get worse? “Is it to the extent of telling you to call the doctor?”
“That’s not it. I just thought it would be nice to have something to support when shooting Gap-sik Masang Chong-tong…”
“Something to support? “Tell me.”
When Hyang showed interest instead of scolding, the Crown Princess explained with a little more confidence.
“It would be nice to have something like the President Gap-sikjang to support the President by putting it on his shoulder.”
“Hmm?”
At the Crown Princess’ words, numerous pictures passed through Hyang’s mind. These were pictures of pistols with butts that I saw on the Internet in the 21st century.
‘Butt stock for a six-shot revolver?’
Hyang, who was wondering whether it would suit him, remembered seeing a similar pistol in a western movie and nodded.
‘I think it’ll be okay.’
“Okay. “I will think about it.”
“And they say that the longer the length of the barrel, the better it fits from a distance, so I wish it would be a little longer.”
“Let’s think about that together.”
“Thank you. Lowering.”
“Then… let’s get it!”
“Ahh!”
It was a fiery newlywed.
* * *
And not long after, Hyang created the custom horseback barrel that the Crown Princess wanted. Hyang burst into laughter as he looked at the custom horse barrel with a removable stock and an extended barrel.
“Oh my god… I’m probably the only guy who made a custom pistol to give to his wife.”
And Hyang, who went to the shooting range with the Crown Princess with the custom pistol that was created in that way, had no choice but to act as a flagship.
The Crown Princess had turned the center of the target board, 80 steps (approximately 96 meters) away, into a beehive.
After seeing the newly improved Masang Chongtong, the military came to the village and begged.
“Please supply that Fuhrer to the military!”
“why?”
“The best weapon for cavalrymen! The mounted rifle is useful in close combat, but its effective range is short. “After firing one shot, the President of the Republic of Korea must use a club instead!”
“Ah…”
In the end, Hyang’s custom pistol was distributed to cavalrymen under the name ‘Eulsik Masang Chongtong’.
When they received the blueprint for the Eulsik Masang President, the craftsmen tilted their heads as they looked at the Western characters written at the top of the blueprint.
“What does this say?”
“Moller. “I guess the crown prince’s quirk has been activated again.”
Next to ‘Eulsik Masang Chongtong’ written at the top of the blueprint, this was written in English:
-Queen’s custom

When Crown Princess spoke of her marksmanship, Hyang had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
“Then even if it’s the others….”
“The same goes for Socheop.”
“When it comes to marksmanship, even a pocketbook is good enough to cover my way.”
“Tsk…”
Yang Won and Yang Emperor’s remarks made Hyang unable to help but whet his appetite.
As Hyang and the Crown Princess became closer using gunshot shooting as a medium, Yang Emperor and Yang Yuan also devoted themselves to training in marksmanship. Thanks to this, the two’s marksmanship was evaluated as superior to Naegeumwi’s, and Hyang had to recreate a custom pistol and give it as a gift to ensure peace at home.
Due to the resulting butterfly effect, King Sejong had to suffer for a while.
This was because everyone, from Queen Soheon to her concubines, secretly disgraced King Sejong.
King Sejong looked into the reason for the suddenly angry reaction of the queen and her concubines. As a result, King Sejong found out that the scent was caused by a gift he had given to his concubines, and muttered softly.
“Then should I make the canvas and give it to you?”
Sang-seon shook his head at Sejong’s words.
“Is that really true?”
‘If you do that, you will fire artillery from the Junggungjeon to the Gangnyeongjeon.’
In the end, King Sejong had to empty his pockets.

When the ‘tax reform’ was announced, local local groups, especially those in the Samnam region, had no choice but to make up their minds.
“Now it’s a dead end! I can’t help it! Let’s rise up!”
The number of noblemen calling for an uprising increased, but there were also quite a few nobles who tried to stop him.
“Arthur! That’s treason! Better use an appeal! Appeal!”
“How many times have you appealed so far? What was the answer? Reading the Sutra on the Cow’s Eyes It wasn’t right! “Now the only solution is force!”
“But if you rise up, it will only be treason!”
There were fierce arguments for and against the armed uprising, but everyone agreed on one thing.
“If it continues like this, it will be the end!”
“But there is no justification! Justification!”
While those who decided to rise up were struggling to find a cause, several people found a plausible cause.
“It would be good to eliminate traitors!”
“Eradicate treachery?”
“Now, treacherous officials have blocked the Lord’s eyes and ears, and this has resulted in this situation! So, we must eradicate those traitors and open the eyes and ears of the Lord!”
“Oh oh!”
“That’s right!”
“Eradicate treachery! Eliminate treachery!”
Those who were united in the uprising began to gather those who would join them under the pretext of ‘eradicating treason.’
Once a certain number of influential people gathered, the discussion began to gain momentum in earnest.
“The problem with troops is….”
“Isn’t there supposed to be private soldiers in each family? Let’s mobilize them.”
As the Japanese pirates established themselves, local groups in the southern region ‘stopped the Japanese pirates.’ Private soldiers were raised under this pretext.
However, noblemen who were said to have mastered the art of war pointed out another problem.
“They alone are not enough. “We have to fill the number.”
“That can be done by mobilizing slaves.”
“Slaves?”
‘Mobilize slaves.’ All the gentlemen who were thinking deeply about the words nodded.
“It’s okay. “If you even mention the word ‘Myeoncheon’, they will turn their eyes away and fight.”
“The problem with armament is….”
“It will be okay if the slaves are given bamboo spears.”
“Hmm….”
After the discussion that followed, the local groups, who had made some plans, put their heads together to solve the last remaining problem.
“When would be a good time for a major illness?”
“Not when it’s too hot, and not after harvest. “After the harvest, it’s winter.”
After many difficult discussions, the date and time for raising the disease was decided to be ‘three days after Chuseok’.
“During the Mid-Autumn Festival, all family members gather together, so we can unite more people.”
“And you can prevent the disloyalty of missing the Mid-Autumn Festival rites.”
“Through rituals, let us pray to our ancestors and the spirits of heaven for the success of our mission.”
“That’s right!”
However, when a large number of people gathered, word was bound to spread, and several local officials who obtained the information reported it to Hanseong.
And a few days later, the local officials who reported the intelligence welcomed Geumgun, who came secretly.
“This is a reply from Your Majesty.”
Hearing Geumgun’s words, the local governor looked at Geumgun with eyes full of suspicion.
“You didn’t even notify me? And why are you dressed like that?”
In a typical case, a properly dressed military officer or official would come and read or deliver the document in front of everyone. However, the person in front of me now was wearing an ordinary coat and said that he was a guest from Hanseong.
In response to the local official’s question, Geumgun looked around and whispered softly.
“It’s confidential. Please receive your bidap here.”
“Ah…”
At Geumgun’s words, the local officer who opened the seal on the letter put down the letter and bowed deeply.
The seal with King Sejong’s royal seal was written in King Sejong’s handwriting.
The local governor read the contents of the letter with trembling hands.
-This is to expose the machinations of seditious people, so refrain from making rash actions. If something happens, do your best to move the family register and land register to a safe area.
After checking the contents, the local governor looked at Geumgun.
“Confirmed.”
“Then please return the letter.”
“why?”
“It’s a name.”
“Ah…”
Hearing Geumgun’s words, the local governor returned the letter without a second thought. After receiving the letter back, Geum immediately burned it. The sight of the local governor was sweet.
“no! That precious thing! “It’s Your Highness’s handwriting!”
“It’s a name.”
“Damn….”
