Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 636

Episode 636 Wild Wild North (2)

Following Hwang Hee’s words, Kim Jong-seo added.

“The problem is that not only the remaining Ming people but also a large number of Jianzhou Jurchen people are participating in the disobedience.”

“her!”

Hyang exhaled in astonishment and looked at Kim Jong-seo.

“Why the Jurchen people in Jianju?”

“As soon as the Ming entered Liaodong, most of those who were loyal to the Ming came. “You may look like Yeojin on the outside, but on the inside, you should already be considered a famous person.”

“Hmm…”

In response to Kim Jong-seo’s response, Hyang tapped the armrest with her fingers and fell into deep thought.

Heo Hu added an explanation to the scent.

“Considering the circumstances that Geonju Yeojin has been through so far, it is understandable that they are doing that.”

“Circumstances?”

* * *

The Ming, who drove out the Yuan and entered Liaodong, implemented several policies to weaken the power of the Jurchen tribe.

Among them, the first thing implemented was active appeasement.

When the Jurchen people returned to the Ming, the Ming provided support in many ways to help them quickly settle down.

At the same time, strong force was used against those who were opposed to the Ming. For this purpose, a considerable number of posts and posts were installed in Liaodong, and soldiers were deployed.

What was carried out simultaneously with the implementation of the strong-war and two-pronged policy was the separation policy.

By cleverly creating divisions between the Jurchen of Jianju, which was close to the Ming, and the Jurchen of Hae, east of the Yajin to the north, he continued to cause strife and worked to create a deep-rooted resentment relationship.

To a large extent, it prevented the Jurchen tribes from uniting as one and prevented the growth of a force that could threaten the central plains.

As a result of this operation, many tribes among the Jianzhou Jurchen people were transformed into Hanhwa (漢化).

This choice was also for survival.

The Geonju Jurjin were the ones who began sedentary life before other tribes. And through the various supports they received while obeying the Ming, they became accustomed to a sedentary life.

Geonju Yeojin, who was living in a house made of bricks rather than a tent or a house made of earth, and who was becoming increasingly prosperous through agriculture and commerce, was like the wild man Yeojin, so in Yeojin’s eyes, he seemed like a fat and delicious prey.

It was inevitable that the Geonju Jurchen, who were suffering from the Jurchen, had no choice but to cling more actively to the Ming.

In such a situation, as time passed, many people in Jianju Jurchen came to consider themselves not Jurchen people but Minggu people. And he joined the disobedience movement along with the remaining Ming people.

“joy!”

Kim Jong-seo, who openly snorted at Heo Hu’s explanation, raised his voice.

“It’s just an excuse! What is the creed of our empire? ‘As long as you follow the laws of the empire properly and pay taxes well, it doesn’t matter what your roots are.’ As long as you do what you’re told to do and pay what you’re told to do, it doesn’t matter whether you’re Myungguk or Yeojin! That part has already been proven in Shinji, as well as Daeseoldo and Jongjangdo, so why are we talking so much! her! “It’s just an excuse!”

Kim Jong-seo shouted loudly and bowed his head to Hyang.

“your majesty! This is the empire’s creed already written down in the first law! Ignoring this and disobeying the Empire’s orders is the same as rebelling against the Empire! “We must all do everything!”

Hyang smiled bitterly at Kim Jong-seo’s radical remarks and muttered to himself.

‘That personality hasn’t gone anywhere. But…’

Hyang looked thoughtful with a serious expression on his face.

‘It’s extreme, but it’s not wrong. But the problem is that it’s too extreme.’

Although it was a fragrance that had already become familiar during the monarchy era, there were many situations in which conflicts arose because the education and values received in the 21st century remained. And now was one of those situations.

‘Sakchojegeun genocide… It’s the most certain method, but…’

Although I hesitated and thought about it, my mind was drifting towards the fact that there was nothing I could do about it.

‘If we consider the case of the EU in the 21st century…’

* * *

As the situation in the Middle East became more serious, a huge number of Middle Eastern refugees flowed into Europe. However, it wasn’t long before the influx of refugees caused the ‘Islamization of the EU’. Calling for ‘religious freedom’, ignoring the laws of EU countries and insisting on the traditional Islamic norms of ‘Sharia’ became a problem as they forced this on others.

And this ultimately became a great excuse for far-right parties to take power.

And this trend also became a hot topic among Korean public officials at the time. Every time these stories became a hot topic, the conclusions were almost the same.

-We cannot not accept refugees. However, you cannot receive it unconditionally. If so, the standards for acceptance must be set high while strict law enforcement must continue.

* * *

While Hyang was thinking, a war of words broke out among the ministers.

“Although the events of the remaining Ming people and the Jurchen people of Jianzhou are scandalous, isn’t it too much to talk about Sakchojegeun?”

Kim Jong-seo raised his voice in response to Lee Sa-cheol’s criticism.

“What is too much? Do you not know what kind of people the Yeojin guys are? The Yeojin bastards are the ones we must never let down our guard until they are completely tamed and become perfect imperial citizens! And those from Myeongguk are the ones who will kill even more! If you don’t like the empire, you can just leave. Why stay and cause trouble? If we leave this as is, they will still look down on the people of our empire, thinking they are the people of the Shang Dynasty! “Rather than seeing something like that, it’s best to just push it away!”

“Uh-huh! It’s not right to see a lot of bloodshed when the empire is just laying its foundation! “They are not amoral servants, so let’s educate them through virtue.”

“That sounds like a virtue! If they were like those who would understand, they wouldn’t have done something like this! And when you see blood, you have to see blood! If a boil appears, the pus must be drained and removed immediately! “What you don’t know is that if you put off squeezing out pus because it’s painful, you’ll not only hurt your body, but your life as well!”

“Who doesn’t know that! But shouldn’t you think about your majesty too! If you watch blood like that, you will bring the disgrace of being called a tyrant to Your Majesty!”

As the heated war of pros and cons continued, Hyang opened his mouth.

“Stop…”

The ministers who were arguing at Hyang’s soft voice all fell silent. Hyang looked down at the ministers and continued speaking.

“Now that I think about it, Jim, this is not something that can be overlooked. However, if we leave it as is, it is certain that those who cannot tell the difference between heaven and earth will harm good people. So let me do it this way. All citizens of the Northern Territory must report their family register and receive an identity card by the winter solstice of this year. You will also need to report all of your land, assets, and assets to prepare to pay the proper taxes. If they do not do this even after the comrades have passed, clearly record and properly inform them that they will be expelled immediately. And after the winter solstice, go into exile immediately. “If they rebel, regardless of the circumstances, it will be considered treason and punished immediately.”

Lee Sa-cheol immediately pointed out the problem.

“your majesty. “Wouldn’t there be a legal problem in punishing it as treason?”

Hwang Bo-in immediately responded to Lee Sa-cheol’s words.

“The application of law is sufficient. Imperial citizens must report their family register. However, not doing this means not living as an imperial citizen, so deportation is possible. On top of that, refusing His Majesty’s orders is not enough to rebel? “It is possible to apply treason.”

“What will you do if you claim that you do not want to live as an imperial citizen and that you are refusing His Majesty’s orders?”

Hyang chimed in with Lee Sa-cheol’s comment.

“In that case, since it is a case of shouting, the punishment will be more severe.”

Lee Sa-cheol kept his mouth shut in response to Hyang’s response. When there were no more objections or comments, Hyang came to a conclusion.

“As the Liaohe region became a stronghold of the empire, there was one invitation, and this is the second invitation. If you ignore the invitation twice, there will be no more invitations. When you have to cut out a rotten part, you have to do it resolutely. Minister of National Defense.”

Minshin bowed his head and responded to Hyang’s name.

“Please give your order, Your Majesty.”

“Tell the Chief of Staff to prepare well. I will not tolerate sluggishness. “If necessary, I will allow the mobilization of reserve soldiers once again.”

“I follow your orders!”

Everyone in Daejeon, including Minshin, became very nervous at the Hyang’s order.

The only time the military called up reserve troops was when the war with the Ming broke out.

In other words, what Hyang was saying was that he would use all his might to uproot it at once, as if he were waging war.

The ministers all thought the same thing about Hyang’s decision.

‘You can’t fool blood after all!’

He often got scolded by King Sejong or was kicked out of Daejeon for doing various things, but Hyang wasn’t the type of person to avoid blood.

In the last civil war incident in the year of Giyu, the person who stood at the forefront and fired bullets at the peninsulas was Hyang.

Hyang was also a monarch who inherited Lee Seong-gye’s blood.

* * *

Soon after, a royal edict was issued to all government offices in Northern China.

“joy! So what? Do you think I will follow what you Koreans say? “Tsk!”

“Hmm… this…”

There were some who did not know the seriousness of the situation and still resisted, but there were also those who sensed the crisis and prepared to report.

Meanwhile, those who had often been involved in various matters with Koreans became very nervous as soon as they saw the warning.

“This smells like blood! “Hurry and report it!”

When the atmosphere in the North was becoming turbulent, Jinpyeong visited Gyeongbokgung Palace.

“Reason for Duke Jinpyeong’s conviction. “I come to see your Majesty.”

“It’s been a while. “What’s going on?”

“As the Superintendent of Northern Railway Development, I would like to make a request to your Majesty.”

“supplication? What was it? “Tell me.”

When Hyang gave permission, Jinpyeong swallowed his saliva and continued speaking.

“The situation in the North is not good right now. If done incorrectly, there is a very high risk that those who go out for surveying or construction will be harmed. In fact, there have already been three injury incidents.”

“I know because I received the report. So I gave an order to provide proper support from nearby units.”

“But no matter how tightly you block it, holes are bound to form. Therefore, please allow us to form our own security forces.”

As soon as Jinpyeong finished speaking, Hyang shook her head.

“It’s impossible.”

“older brother! Do you know how frustrating it is to wait for the military when you are so busy with work? We need to finish the survey and lay the railroad as soon as possible, but the military is too busy chasing after us! They say you have to write a report on that too! It’s much faster if we just protect ourselves and work together! “I’m waiting for the military and my clothes are falling apart!”

As Jinpyeong’s voice got louder, Hyang’s voice also got louder.

“Hey you bastard! Are you thinking or not? You’re a duke! Goongjak! “You won’t be left behind if your uniform breaks while waiting for the military, but don’t you think that if we make a guard unit, your hair will be blown off and you’ll really be left behind!”

“Would I ever do that! “Isn’t that why you’re telling your brother so openly because you don’t intend to do that?”

“What you don’t need is politics! “It doesn’t matter what happens!”

“older brother!”

“Instead, I will organize a force dedicated to escorting you.”

“That’s because I’m running out of time doing paperwork! “It’s easy and quick to just do it this way!”

“no!”

“older brother!”

“Get out, you bastard!”

“I can’t leave until you give me permission!”

“I won’t send you to Shinji!”

As soon as Hyang’s words came out, Jinpyeong straightened his posture and lowered his head.

“I only hope that His Majesty Soshin will look down on me.”

“…Whew~. “I will organize and deploy them as quickly as possible.”

“Hwang Eun is devastated.”

As soon as he answered, he saw Jinpyeong retreating and placed his hand on his forehead.

“No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a dream….”
