Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 770
Chapter 770: A disaster brought about by oneself…. (5)
After hearing the natives’ intention to accompany the imperial army, Meoksoe immediately reported it to his superior.
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who received a report from the wrong route, pondered for a moment and made a decision.
“If you want, I’ll go with you. “I think I’ll need it for the future.”
“What if it’s for the future?”
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo immediately answered his subordinate’s question.
“Shouldn’t we make this a stronghold of our empire anyway? But let’s just leave these crazy people alone? We have to prepare properly and come and sweep it all away. To do that, you need proper guidance and interpretation. “You also need a helper.”
“Ah…”
At Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s words, all of his subordinates nodded. Admiral Ahn Sang-soo added his words to the sight of his subordinates.
“Oh, you guys have never worked in the army. “This is the method we used in the past when dealing with the Jurchen tribe.”
* * *
As the war progressed, the township insisted on professionalization of the military. Sejong, who believed that Hyang’s claim was reasonable, accepted Hyang’s proposal.
Until then, the Joseon military, especially its commanders, alternately commanded the land and naval forces. It was even common for a military official, rather than a military official, to exercise military command.
Thanks to this, if he was capable, he could become a master general who mastered both land and sea warfare, but if he was general-purpose or incompetent, he would end up in a mess.
And the latter cases were overwhelmingly common.
That’s why King Sejong accepted Hyang’s proposal.
And Admiral Ahn Sang-soo was the last generation to experience the Army and Navy forces together before they were divided.
* * *
One of the subordinates who was nodding to Admiral Ahn Sang-soo carefully pointed out a problem to the admiral.
“Admiral Haona. They said it was a euphoric type. “They may also be cannibalistic.”
“We will have to apply the current situation and the policies implemented by the situation. However, those who blatantly cannibalize in broad daylight like that should be stopped. “In the sense of punishing one punishment and punishing another.”
“Ah…”
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s decision was passed down the chain to Meoksoe.
“… That’s how ‘Ssss’ and his group also moved together. “It’s your responsibility, so take good care of it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“And on the way, I teach them some words whenever I can.”
“I understand.”
“What on earth is that dialect? Or did you get your tongue cut off during a fight? “Aren’t you going to answer properly?”
“I will do it right.”
“Good luck.”
Meoksoe, who received orders from Ojang, gestured to ‘Seong’ who was standing on one side.
“Hey shit!”
Meoksoe, who sang ‘Seong’, pointed to himself and ‘Seong’ with his hand and then pointed to the mountain range.
“me! you! together! Let’s go!”
‘Seong’, who understood Meoksoe’s words, nodded and returned to the natives. After a while, the natives got up from their seats and joined the procession.
Once all preparations were complete, Admiral Ahn gave orders to his subordinates.
“Go back! “It won’t be an easy road, so be prepared!”
* * *
“This… It was a great help to allow the natives to accompany us.”
While resting in the middle of the mountain range, Admiral Ahn revised his assessment of the natives who accompanied him.
The natives, including ‘Seong’, were surprisingly helpful.
They guided the imperial army down their own path that even the Aztec warriors did not know.
The natives, who had been harassed by the Aztecs for a long time, were well aware of the tactics of the Aztec warriors and their migration routes.
Thanks to this, they guided the imperial army to avoid places where Aztec warriors were likely to ambush. In addition, because he knew the nearby terrain well, he guided the imperial army to a place where the imperial army’s carts could easily move.
It was not just useful as a guide. He knew where large groups of people could stay and quickly found useful sources of drinking water. In addition, we immediately obtained medicinal herbs that were useful for those who were injured in the last battle and those who were injured in accidents while on the move.
At the sight of the natives’ activities, the imperial soldiers from the main region glanced sideways at the imperial soldiers from the new territory and muttered.
“We are from the same Shinji, but…”
Every time they heard such words from soldiers from the Shinji, they loudly protested.
“I do that in my hometown too!”
“Yes, even a mutt eats half of his food before leaving home…”
“Shit!”
“Why do you sing ‘sss’?”
“Fuck!”
Meanwhile, military doctors were amazed by the usefulness of the medicinal herbs brought by the natives.
“I’ll have a lot to ask those friends later.”
In addition to this, he was also good at erasing the traces of the imperial army, making it difficult for the pursuing Aztecs to pursue them.
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo muttered softly after seeing that.
“It looks like you’ve been through a lot.”
What the admiral said was true.
* * *
While being harassed by Aztec warriors, the basic tactic of the weaker tribes was to run away. In this process, they became accustomed to erasing traces to avoid being pursued by Aztec warriors.
Of course, as a reaction to this, the Aztecs developed a tactic of mobilizing large numbers of troops and putting pressure on them.
In this process, Aztec warriors became accustomed to moving in large groups and at the same time became experts in communication using messengers and drum trumpets.
* * *
In the process of returning through the jungle and mountain ranges, the natives became accustomed to the imperial language faster than expected.
Because even the slightest mistake could put their lives at risk, and because they saw the overwhelming force of the imperial army, the natives had to desperately learn the imperial language.
And the person who stood out the most was ‘Seung’.
But ‘Ssss’ wasn’t all that good. This was because he knew that the sound that was used to call him, ‘ssss’, was an insult.
“Well, it was my mistake, so it’s hard to argue with them… Moreover, they have a hard time calling me by my name…”
When I said the name, which means ‘brave and clever jaguar’ in the tribal language, all the imperial people looked embarrassed. It has been done.
“S… I’m going to bite my tongue while calling your name. “Can’t we just go ‘shit’?”
At those words, another imperial soldier next to him shook his head, secretly pointing at ‘shit’.
“You knew it was an insult.”
“You don’t have to use it when swearing, right? “Where is the only swear word that’s ‘s***’?”
“That’s true.”
Through this process, an unspoken rule emerged among the imperial forces led by Admiral Ahn Sang-soo.
– No matter how much swearing is used, do not use ‘ssss’.
What was interesting was that there were almost no imperial soldiers who were uncomfortable with these rules.
“Well, ‘sh*t’ isn’t the only swear word…”
As the soldiers said, the Imperial Army was a place where all kinds of swear words were overflowing. The Imperial Army was a place where all kinds of swear words were overflowing, including the swear words used by soldiers from the main region, the swear words used by soldiers from foreign countries such as the Northern Territory and Daeseol, and even the swear words used by soldiers from Shinji. It wasn’t a situation where it would be inconvenient to miss even one ‘ssss’.
Rather, some commanders saw this and thought differently.
“Hmm… There have already been many people saying that the dignity of the imperial army is lowered because the soldiers swear too harshly. Why don’t you try taking advantage of this?”
No, there were people who didn’t just stop at thinking, but actually created a plan.
“First of all, we only have a brief draft. “I hope you will review it.”
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who received the draft plan submitted by them, clicked his tongue as soon as he looked at the contents.
“Tsk!”
“sorry!”
As soon as the admiral clicked his tongue, the submitters were horrified and took back the plan.
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo clicked his tongue and grumbled as he watched the officers hurrying away.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Thanks to ‘Tsk’ and the others, I feel better, so I have more random thoughts. I wonder if I will be relieved when I hear them click their tongues in front of His Majesty…” * *

Thanks to the help of the natives led by ‘Seong’, Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s imperial army was able to penetrate the mountain range more easily and faster than expected. I was able to.
This was because the natives guided them to a place with a lower slope and a wider passage than the place led by the Aztec warriors.
Thanks to this, I had to take quite a detour, but my travel speed increased and I was able to reduce time wastage.
“Still, it might take five more days, but…”
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo muttered quietly as he finally passed through the jungle and arrived at the beach.
Upon reaching the beach, the Imperial forces surveyed their position. According to the survey results, the location where they are now is quite far south from the bridgehead.
It was a simple task to move north along the beach, but the problem was finding solid ground where the carts could move.
Considering the time wasted on that family, we had to move for another five days.
“Still, I’m glad we got over the mountain range, which was the biggest problem.”
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, who gave a positive evaluation, looked back at his subordinates.
“Just a little more and we’ll reach the beachhead! Move while being careful of flank attacks!”
“yes!”
“Wow!”
When they heard that the beachhead was just a little further away, the soldiers cheered and gained energy.
* * *
Four days later, Admiral Ahn Sang-soo was able to arrive near the beachhead.
“huh? “What is this sound?”
Kwang kwaaang~. Ta-ta-ta-taaaang~.
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s expression, sitting on a horse, became serious.
This was because gunshots and gunshots could be heard from far away.
“Have they established a beachhead? Everyone prepare for battle!”
At Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s order, the soldiers and commanders released the safety devices of long guns and freight cars.
“Move to breaking news!”
Following the admiral’s order, the soldiers began to move at a fast pace.
As soon as I turned around the palm tree jungle that was blocking my view, I could see the bridgehead where Admiral Ahn Sang-soo and the imperial troops were engaged in a fierce battle.
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo immediately pulled out his rifle and shouted.
“Riflemen form a three-line line!”
At the admiral’s order, the riflemen formed a three-line march.
“Advance!”
As the soldiers lined up in three rows advanced slowly, Admiral Ahn Sang-soo continued to give orders.
“Carts carrying freight cars deploy on both wings! Lastly, heat the toys!”
The soldiers were busy following Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s orders.
“Ready!”
When it was reported that the freight cars and toys were ready, Admiral Ahn Sang-soo rode his horse and stood at the head of the riflemen.
As the riflemen advanced, led by Admiral Ahn Sang-soo, the Aztec warriors attacking the bridgehead began to panic.
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo shouted loudly at that sight.
“Let go!”
* * * As
Admiral Ahn Sang-soo’s troops, aided by the natives, moved quickly through the jungle, King Montezuma I changed his strategy.
“They chose to go back! “Go ahead of them and intercept them!”
Following the orders of Montezuma I, the Aztec warriors chose the fastest route despite the rough terrain and headed to the beachhead.
Montezuma I, who arrived in the jungle closest to the beachhead, sent scouts to check the situation.
-There are at best about 100 strangers on the beach.
-The strangers’ ship is quite far away.
Montezuma I, who confirmed the report, immediately planned a plan.
“If we kill all the strangers on the beach, those ships will have no choice but to leave. Then those who ran away from us will be stranded.”
“But help may come from those strangers’ ships.”
Montezuma I shook his head at the point made by the nobleman commanding the troops.
“Consider the number of strangers who have fled from us. No matter how big that ship is, it will only be able to send back the people on the beach. In Tenochtitlan, it was not possible to properly gather soldiers. But this time, we’ve pulled it off properly, so we can avenge Tenochtitlan’s humiliation! “Go back now and prepare for battle!”
In response to Montezuma I’s confident explanation, the nobles returned to their units and prepared for battle.
