Black Corporation: Joseon

Chapter 564

Episode 564: Disconnection. (3)

“Joseon is a Ming vassal state! “Is it an example of vassalage to refuse the orders of the monarch of the Shang Dynasty as unfair?”

“No matter how good the country is, what is unfair is unfair! My king has the responsibility to protect Joseon’s territory and its people! But how dare you give up Joseon’s power and retreat just because it is a vassal state! You are disrespecting my king! No matter how great a monarch is, this kind of behavior is absolutely not right! together! “I tell you again that our Joseon is following the example of the Four Great Dynasties, but is not a Ming colony!”

“Yes you bastard! And yet you are a subject! If you are a subject in name and in name, your duty is to look around and prevent your lord from going down the wrong path! But now you are putting your master in danger!”

“I am standing here and talking about injustice because I am a subject! The order given by His Majesty now is one that will only bring harm to my king! So, as a subject of Joseon, I am naturally doing what I am supposed to do!”

Emperor Seondeok continued to push, emphasizing that it was an order from the Shang Dynasty, but Heo Hu did not back down and held on to the end.

“It is extremely unfair for Your Majesty to persecute Sosin and our Joseon people right now!

According to the provisions of the previous Emperor Yonglek, the royal family who received the king’s title cannot have troops and are prohibited from interacting with officials and officials around the king’s throne!

But the King of Liaodong has violated all of this! of course! All of this must have been accomplished with the approval of His Majesty!

However, a proper subject, as your Majesty spoke of, would have reported this mistake and corrected it before such a decision was made!”

This was Heo Hu’s slap. Although Heo Hu’s words were pointing out the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty government officials, his intentions were different.

‘A stupid person who can’t even properly follow the laws established by the previous emperor!’

Of course, Emperor Seondeok was not the one who could not understand this, so his face instantly turned red. However, it was an ambiguous situation to catch the pod.

He Hu was not criticizing Emperor Xiande, but was pointing out the mistakes of the Ming court officials.

Thanks to this, it was the subjects of the Ming court who found themselves in an awkward situation. From their perspective, it was like they were just walking down the street and suddenly got hit by a flying stone.

Starting with the Cabinet Secretary, the faces of all the Ming Dynasty officials present turned white.

‘I! I! ‘Why do you say things like that!’

‘You know that and you’re talking about it, right? Is that it?’

‘I think we have nothing to say!’

Starting with the Cabinet Supplement, the Ming Dynasty subjects also had something to say.

Everything related to Joo Jin-jin was carried out by Emperor Seondeok by surprise.

There was talk of this and that, but he passed on the specially appointed positions to Joo Jin-jin, who was still in his place as the crown prince, and sent him away to Liaodong. Not long after, he abolished the crown prince’s position and made him the king of Dong.

All of the subjects expressed concern about this series of incidents, but no one came forward openly. If it was the Seondeokje they knew, there was a 90% chance that his head would be blown off the moment he opened his mouth.

Emperor Seondeok ignored Heo Hu’s comments and continued his attack.

“Lee Seong-gye, the founder of Joseon, withdrew from the army, claiming that the order given by Choi Young of Goryeo to attack our Ming was unjust. Also, your late King Lee Bang-won of Joseon also joined Jeong Do-jeon in planning the conquest of Liaodong. This was to protect the four moral principles and preserve the security of the nation. But now you are actually doing the opposite! I’ll ask again. Don’t you know that your actions now threaten the safety of Joseon and its king?”

Heo Hu immediately responded to Emperor Seondeok’s words.

“Your Majesty is now committing the mistake of a strong-willed club! King Taejo’s decision to rule Wihwa Island and King Taejong’s punishment of Jeong Do-jeon were all aimed at preventing the peace from being broken in the first place! But this time, the King of Liaodong broke the peace by invading our Joseon border! “Here comes a completely different case!”

After that, the war of words between Emperor Seondeok and Heo Hu continued fiercely. Emperor Seondeok continued to try to attack in various directions, but Heohu maintained his consistent stance.

In the end, Emperor Seondeok threw the stone first.

“profit! good night! Do whatever you want! Joseon, you can do whatever you want! But you will be responsible for that too!”

“Good news! “Please write it down!”

“OK! “Bring paper, pencil, and ink!”

Emperor Seondeok shouted, scribbled on a piece of paper brought by the eunuchs, stamped the royal seal, and threw it to Hu Hu.

“Yep! Do whatever you want! However, keep in mind that everything that happens afterward is Joseon’s responsibility!”

“I am devastated!”

After expressing his gratitude in an exaggeratedly loud voice, Heo Hu picked up the paper and offered his resignation greetings to Emperor Seondeok.

“May you live forever!”

“Be thankful that you are sent back alive!”

After leaving the Forbidden City, He Hu looked back at his companions with a grin.

“With this, we have a clear cause. “Let’s get back as quickly as possible.”

“yes!”

* * *

Meanwhile, deep in the Forbidden City, Emperor Xuande was smiling in conversion.

“I finally have an excuse to dispatch troops.”

In normal times, Joseon would not have reacted so violently. However, the fact that they protested to the point of losing their reason like that was proof that the damage suffered by Joseon was that great.

After receiving the report, Lee Jing-ok quenched his appetite.

* * *

After experiencing bitterness in the first battle, the Liaodong army desperately hid its artillery. The artillery pieces were collected or moved only at night, when the monks could not fly, and during the day they used all kinds of methods to hide the artillery pieces. In addition, no artillery was used in the small-scale battles that had taken place so far.

Therefore. The Joseon army had to select points where they thought the guns would be based on the range of the Ming-guk artillery seen in the first battle and fire.

However, this bombardment had surprisingly poor results. This was because the Liaodong army had pulled out its artillery and hid it behind it.

And when the second battle broke out, they took out the guns they had hidden and fired.

* * *

“I took one hit, but once I showed up, it was over! “Tell them to destroy all the enemy’s artillery!”

“ancient!”

The staff member who received the order wrote an order and handed it to the signalmen and messengers.

When the Joseon Army’s counterbattery began, the Liaodong Army’s main base began to move.

“The enemy main force is crossing the river!”

“where are you!”

“It’s left-wing!”

Lee Jing-ok got up from his seat and ran to Chongangu. The soldiers of the Liaodong army were crossing the river in droves.

The place where the Liaodong Army crossing the river was headed was the left wing, which had been holed by concentrated artillery fire.

After checking the situation, Lee Jing-ok looked back at his staff.

“Get the reserves ready!”

“ancient!”

“Tell the guns on the left side to crush the enemies trying to break through!”

“ancient!”

Lee Jing-ok, who gave orders to deal with the enemy attempting to break through, looked up at the sky and gritted his teeth.

“When are these bastards coming?”

* * *

The battle between the Liaodong army, which attempted to break through the left wing of the Insan camp, and the Joseon army, which blocked it, continued fiercely. Despite being attacked by the Joseon soldiers waiting at the trench line and the Joseon soldiers on the walls of the Insan camp, the Liaodong army persistently pushed in.

“Send in the reserves!”

“yes!”

As the waiting reserves were deployed, the Liaodong Army began to falter.

Jo Byeong-deok, who was observing this scene from the hill, gave an order to his staff.

“Send the third force!”

“yes!”

Jo Byeong-deok, who gave the order, clenched his fists.

“Just a little more and you can break through! Just a little more!”

After the ban, Byeong-deok Jo’s hope turned into despair.

“The Joseon navy is coming!”

“what? where!”

In Jo Byeong-deok’s urgent voice, the staff member next to him shouted, pointing to the lower reaches of the Yalu River.

“There it is!”

At the place pointed out by the staff, dozens of Joseon Army Panok ships were coming in two rows up the Yalu River.

“Holy shit! “I can’t believe I made such a mistake!”

Jo Byeong-deok blamed himself for his mistake. They were preoccupied with the prejudice that the Joseon navy only had large ships, so they completely ruled out the possibility that the Joseon navy would move.

At that time, another messenger came running and announced the sad news.

“It’s an enemy surprise attack! “Joseon’s cavalry is attacking our army’s left flank!”

Upon hearing the messenger’s report, Jo Byeong-deok looked up at the sky without realizing it.

“You got hit....”
