Long live the independence of Joseon
As soon as the phone rang, Shingi answered it.
“Yes, this is Gishin.”
“Abida.”
The divine intuition was properly activated.
“I called to see how you were doing. I was surprised to hear you were on the news.”
“I’m doing well. How have you been?”
“I’ve been shamelessly living without being a proper father. I want to see your face once. When are you coming to Korea? I heard that you’re on vacation because of the World Cup or something.”
“I’ll be there soon. I’ll call you when I get to Korea.”
He immediately looked for a flight to Korea. Eric Hunter said that he had received an offer from Korea and that he would go to Korea if negotiations were to proceed, and asked Shingi not to go anywhere else but to wait for his call in Korea.
When Shin-gi arrived in Korea, he called Ki-shin’s father, but his phone was turned off. He had no choice but to go to Seoul and book a hotel. It was not until 10 p.m. that he received a call from Ki-shin’s father.
“I’m sorry. I turned off my phone and hid it, so I barely found it. Come over to my house tomorrow for lunch and we can have lunch together. I’ll send you the address via text later.”
Shingi turned on the TV and flipped through the channels, stopping at American football. The intense collisions were exactly his style. He threw the remote control aside and was completely absorbed in the charm of American football.
### I am a busy dividing line ###
Baek Yuhan negotiated with the royal family of the Korean Empire, Shindo negotiated with Russia, and Kim Won-Gyeon negotiated with the magicians of the British Empire. Baek Yuhan tried to buy the state-run factories of the Korean Empire at the lowest possible price, and Kim Won-Gyeon negotiated new aid with the British Empire regarding the Magic Academy. This was because the Magic Academy’s level was low, so it could only receive one-sided aid and cooperation was impossible.
Shinto negotiated with Russia for a military alliance. If he could bring the broken sword to Taiwan, his next target would be Tsushima. He would reclaim Tsushima and hand it over to the Japanese so that they could defend the monsters on behalf of Joseon. He intended to involve Russia in the Tsushima recapture operation on the condition that Hokkaido be handed over to Russia.
Russia is currently cooperating with the British Empire to drive out the monsters. However, if Russia’s center of gravity shifts to this side, the Korean Empire, Joseon Russia, and Japan can cooperate to expand the human domain and study how monsters are created in Japan, and then nip them in the bud and uproot them.
Baek Yu-han obtained many concessions from the imperial family on the condition of independence in four months. Four months later, winter will come. Since the monsters will be weaker than in the summer, if the resources poured into the Korean Peninsula are poured into restoring the former territory of the Korean Empire, great results will be achieved.
Likewise, Kim Won-Gyeon also achieved satisfactory results. The British Empire showed an active cooperative attitude in order to foster Joseon as an ally to check the Korean Empire. And it promised to actively participate in Joseon’s plan to occupy Tsushima Island and study monsters.
Negotiations with Russia did not yield much results. Russia was not interested in the land in Hokkaido. However, they promised to actively support the defense of Tsushima if Tsushima was occupied. Shinto, who had been raised as a soldier rather than a nobleman since childhood, sensed the smell of war in Russia and concluded that there was a high possibility of another civil war breaking out.
As time passed, a turtle ship was completed and named Yi Sun-sin. It was a name that contained the wishes of all involved for the success of the plan to move the broken sword. The crew was made up of Japanese refugees and descendants of Joseon, selected through strict procedures. The captain of Yi Sun-sin was moved to tears and changed his name to Jang Bogo.
It is a superstition that originated from Japanese refugees, and if you change it to the name of a person who has made achievements in history, you will receive that person’s protection. The route to the British Empire via the Arctic Ocean is as long as you avoid freezing conditions. However, there are monsters on the journey to the unknown island of Taiwan. So even the captain who has been to the British Empire several times cannot let his guard down.
The moving door is a wooden door. The magically treated wood has numerous magical characters carved into it. The moving door is an object created by combining the druid’s teleportation technique and the Korean Empire’s teleportation technique. The defect is that one pair of doors connects to each other and the other does not.
After that, the mobile gates were completely replaced by mobile gates that could freely connect with other mobile gates by coordinates. However, mobile gates are not without their advantages. Unlike mobile gates that take a long time to install and require the touch of an expert, mobile gates can be made in advance and carried around. You can activate them with a magic stone when needed.
After wrapping it in dozens of layers to prevent damage to the moving door, I carefully placed it in the ship’s hold and secured the wooden frame used for packing. Since it was a secret departure, I couldn’t even see my family off. I wish I had the help of experienced sailors who traveled the Arctic Ocean, but most of them are not Koreans. The captain is very experienced, but the sailors are no different from beginners, so I can’t help but be worried.
The Yi Sun-sin departed Jeju Island and headed south after being escorted by high-ranking nobles and three-star generals. The turtle ship was designed not to attract the attention of monsters, but because it was a ship, it had structural limitations and was not as effective as the spiny turtle. However, the captain’s skills and luck combined to make them successful.
The Yi Sun-sin ship has set sail, but a new turtle ship is under construction at the shipyard. We plan to send out ships until we succeed in case of failure. And when we can no longer endure, we plan to separate the hand bones and the sword handle, even if it means forcing ourselves to do so.
Another month passed and it was Independence Day. On December 12, every household hung a three-legged crow. It was a crow with a circle as its body, a crow’s head in front, a tail behind, and three legs, which was the national flag. Goguryeo’s three-legged crow had a crow inside the circle, but this country’s three-legged crow, named the Republic of Korea according to the advice of the gods, had the head, tail, and legs outside the circle.
There is a legend that the Samjok-o is a divine bird that lives in the sun, so the Samjok-o is always drawn inside a circle. However, the new Samjok-o has the meaning of a bird that swallowed the sun, so the sun has become the body of the Samjok-o. Of course, the only people who know the meaning are Kim Won-gyeon, Shindo, and Gishin who came up with the idea.
In every street, chants of “Long Live Joseon”, “Long Live Joseon Independence”, etc., were heard. Those who wanted to go to the Korean Empire had already left the territory of the Republic of Korea two weeks ago. Since those who used the name of the old dynasty would inevitably cause trouble by claiming that they were descendants of the royal family, a new name for the country was created and sufficient publicity was made, but there were still more people who called out the name Joseon than the new name of the Republic of Korea.
Meanwhile, the coronation and awarding ceremony are taking place in Pyongyang, which was designated as the capital. Shindo has become the king of the Republic of Korea. After the coronation, the awarding ceremony began. Kim Won-gyun received the title of Grand Duke and received land in Chungcheong Province as his fief.
The eldest son, Shin Hyeon, was crowned crown prince and received the Hwanghae-do region as his fief. The second son, Shin Mu, was given the title of duke and received Hamgyeong-do as his fief. Gisin received Gyeonggi-do as his fief and was given the title of count. Including Gangwon-do, Gisin received four of the eight provinces, so he was given the title of count.
Baek Yu-han was appointed as a marquis and received Jeolla-do as his fief. Of course, Baek Yu-han did not take all of Jeolla-do alone. He had to distribute it appropriately to the fallen nobles who called themselves the so-called independent army. Now that Gi-shin had opened his eyes to politics, he could see that there was a meaning of restraint against Baek Yu-han.
The great wizard Kim Eun-gyeol was given the title of Marquis and given Gyeongsang Province as his fief. He became the president of the Korean Magic Association and Yongducheon became the principal of the Magic Academy. The entire Gyeongsang Province, the front line of the fight against monsters, was given to Kim Eun-gyeol in order to have the wizards participate more actively in fighting monsters and researching monsters.
Yeon-ah was awarded the title of Count as a woman. And she was appointed as the head of Gongbu, one of the six ministries. At Gi-sin’s suggestion, she did not use the title of the official position of the Korean Empire, but instead named him Minister. There were two vice-ministers below him, and the names of the officials below him were entrusted to Kim Won-gyeon. This is because Gi-sin only knows the minister and vice-minister.
There are three reasons why the Korean Empire’s royal family abandoned Yeon-ah. Yeon-ah was a commoner, a magic engineer, and a woman. The Korean Empire’s nobles were uncomfortable with Yeon-ah’s existence, and the Magic Association also rejected Yeon-ah. The officials appointed to the court also expressed great resistance to a woman becoming an official.
And after Yeon-ah created the magical weapon Yeon-ah that Blizzard could use, she was no longer able to create the same magical weapon. Because of this, Yeon-ah’s skills were underestimated, and the royal family of the Korean Empire eventually gave up on Yeon-ah. Since the Korean Empire revolves around prosecutors, they strongly reject magicians.
After the ceremony of awarding titles and lands to the generals and nobles of the military, a banquet was held. Although the wine was not abundant and the food was not varied, the people enjoyed the banquet. Kisin, who had finished seven books in four months, could not overcome his fatigue and quietly drank a fruit drink in a corner.
“Your Highness, I was deeply impressed by the book you sent me.”
The woman who approached was Yeon-ah. She was the daughter of a slave, so she had no surname. This is because no one knows who her father was. She was not pretty, but she was very neatly made. And anyone who looked at her could tell that she had Joseon blood flowing through her.
“It’s not worth hearing the Minister’s praise.”
The books of the god were sent to the Magic Academy for publication, so Yeon-ah was able to read the books of the god in advance before they were published.
“I’d like to hear the story about the broken sword. There’s a rumor going around that Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s hand bones still hold the sword hilt. Is that true? And how could that be?”
Only three people, including Kisin, know that the broken sword attracts monsters. The crew members on board Yi Sun-sin and those involved in this incident only know that it is a very important matter. Kisin was careful about what he said, remembering that fact.
“It’s true. The will to protect the people still remains. Those who tried to tear it off rashly lost their lives.”
“Your Highness, you have a deep understanding of not only magic but also many other subjects. I accidentally created a magical weapon that could blizzard, but after that, no matter how hard I tried, it failed. I think it has to do with will. I would like to know what your opinions are.”
– I learned the secrets of the world.
– When will and strength combine, a spirit is born.
– Monsters only have a small amount of spirit power and do not have spirit will.
– I only have a broken black will and no power. That’s why I couldn’t become a spirit.
“I think so too. I think the magical weapon Yeon-ah was created through a combination of magical power and some will.”
At Kishin’s words, Yeon-ah quickly left the banquet hall and headed to the lab in the engine carriage. She had been vaguely aware of this recently, but it wasn’t clear, but Kishin’s words suddenly made her mind clear. Kishin’s insignificant words gave her confidence without any reason.
– If the conditions are right, you can return to your original world. Cheer up.
