182 Freedom(2)

In the summer of 1837, there was an incident where the Qing guiding system was imprisoned by the citizens.

Tens of thousands of citizens stormed into the Forbidden City along with 500,000 soldiers, with Easterfield’s artillery standing behind them.

Lee Hwan heard the news in real time over the phone.

“Your Majesty, it is said that the citizens entered the Forbidden City, captured the nobles and disarmed the Golden Army!”

“What do you think the 500,000 Qing army will do now?”

“They say they will take off their uniforms and pay the price for the looting.”

“Hmm.”

“It is said that among the centurions, their subordinates were not at fault, so only officers of the centurion or higher had petitioned for punishment.”

“Is there such a petition coming in? It doesn’t look like the army is very rotten.”

“Anyway, from now on, this place will be protected by the federal army, so there is no need to punish all the troops.”

Lee Hwan is a person who thinks that it is important to understand the emotions of the people, but the constitution should hold the hierarchy.

He ordered the selection of representatives to conduct the national trial.

“On the one hand, put Paeng-Han on trial, select one of the centurions and the chiefs of tens and put them on trial. In addition, a representative of the soldiers is also elected to be charged with the illegal acts they have committed so far.”

“Yeah, you’re honorable. If we do that, the soldiers will be able to return to society with a little more dignity.”

A population of 500,000 is by no means a small number.

Even in the 2000s, it was comparable to the population of any city in Korea, so this could not be lightly punished or imprisoned.

Lee Hwan did not like to measure the utility value of people, but he decided that he could not miss the value of a population of 500,000.

“How are the preparations of the courts and the administration going?”

“When the citizens enter the Forbidden City and take the light guide, they will immediately surrender. With him, His Majesty will ascend to the throne of China and declare a republic, and you will be able to immediately elect a president.”

“good night. Then, while the guide system is captured, the central government and the Supreme Court should be established, and the local government and local courts should be established together.”

Finally, China was about to wake up from its long slumber.

Meanwhile, the Qing dignitaries who were captured by the citizens were dragged out of the Forbidden City with their sparse hair.

Citizens took all the dignitaries as well as their families to the streets.

It was not yet known whether the system of association would be applied or not, so they decided to detain their families for now.

Among them, a guide who had been rescued by the citizens appeared.

Gwangjee, who was remarkably emaciated, was being supported by the citizens.

“Ugh… … . sorry.”

Do Kwang-je said he was sorry to the commoners.

Citizens wondered what happened to Do Gwang-jae’s hair.

But he was now ready to embrace the new world.

After a while, he stepped forward to Lee Hwan.

Then he knelt in front of Lee Hwan.

“I intend to resign myself from the throne and hand over the throne to you. Will you accept the abdication?”

“I will accept the abdication.”

Do Gwangje bowed his head.

“… … your majesty!”

“Easterfield I, abdicated by you, declares a democratic republic in the Qing Dynasty. The name of the country is the Republic of China.”

“I will honor the republic!”

The light guide abandoned himself.

They abandoned the pride and legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty, and embraced the democratic republic of the Republic of China.

Citizens cheered greatly at Lee Hwan’s declaration of republicanism.

“Oooh! Long live the Republic of China!”

“From now on, as a democratic republic, the Republic of China will become a country that develops infinitely on the basis of capitalism and liberalism. The sovereignty of this country will be established, and it will live on the fences of the Federation of Easterfield.”

Citizens bowed their heads in front of the emperor named Lee Hwan.

“Hurray, Your Majesty!”

“not. get up The emperor no longer reigns. A human with only a name, sacrifices for the country, and cannot be admired. Democracy is a country that rejects the Juche idea, and will not establish Juche and idols in the future.”

“… … So, who ruled the country and how?”

“The rulers of a country are the people. It is the people who make the country. Dedicate yourself to your country, work hard, and strive for the prosperity of the country. That is your mission.”

“Oh oh!”

A country led by the people, a country they had never imagined before, unfolded in front of them.

Lee Hwan asked Do Kwang-jae.

“I will ask you, Aesingak Ra Minnyeong. Will you stay in Manchuria, or will we cross over to Easterfield to live?”

“… … A dwarf cannot abandon his hometown.”

“Then go to the university we will set up in Easterfield, study, and work for your hometown.”

“The castle is doomed!”

Shang-an Huandi, who speaks Manchu, repented of the mistakes he had made so far and decided to become a new intellectual.

Now he will be the first scholar and representative to accept the newspaper.

***

Yuhara, who had decided to abdicate in Joseon, immediately headed to the Japanese shogunate.

Iyoshi Tokugawa, the commander of the Edo Shogunate, entered into negotiations with the commander of the Black Dragon Fleet.

Iyoshi Tokugawa expressed a very favorable attitude toward Yuhara, but at the same time, a conservative position.

Iyoshi carried out reforms to eliminate the ills of the Tokugawa shogunate, but failed over and over again due to the 250 years of peaceful prosperity.

However, Iyoshi wanted to get rid of the ills of the Tokugawa shogunate, and he wanted to open the door rather than a policy of further isolation.

However, he did not like the idea of foreign troops entering the land of the Edo shogunate.

In short, he was treating Yuhara with a double attitude.

“I won’t say anything until you have taken over our western region. But if you came here for occupation rather than reform, you too will have to make great sacrifices.”

“It’s a sacrifice. Iyoshi is said to be a little different from the other Tokugawas, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.”

“… … what?”

“What can Japan do now, which is suffering from a great famine?”

At the very least, there is no starving people in order for a peaceful era to continue.

However, the Edo shogunate had already reached a point where the world was in a state of wretchedness due to a great famine, repeated poor crops, and a terrible crop.

Just because there was no civil war, it was said that it was by no means a peaceful era.

Tokugawa Iyoshi furrowed his brows as if he was annoyed.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

“Now, withdraw the shogunate and return the sovereignty of the country to the royal family.”

“… … what?”

“Once the sovereignty is returned to the king, the royal family abdicates to Easterfield I and resigns. If that happens, at least the archipelago can be prevented from becoming a sea of fire.”

bang!

Tokugawa Iyoshi smashed the podium with his fist.

“What kind of bullshit is this! Am I supposed to be hearing about swallowing a country?!”

“It’s not about swallowing. They are just trying to return to the republic and give Japan back to the people.”

“… … nation? What the hell are these savage people talking about?!”

Tokugawa Iyoshi was obviously a bubbly personality, but because the Shogunate had so much to say, he became a bit strange.

Yuhara, who was well aware of Iyoshi’s nervous breakdown, decided to give her just one more chance.

“I don’t think I can communicate with you anyway. Could you please allow me to talk to my entourage?”

“… … Even so, you guys are only thinking of eating our Japan!”

“I want to give the country back to the grasshoppers you are talking about. They are talking about creating a country where there will be no more wars or persecution.”

“Don’t bullshit!”

visor!

Finally, Iyoshi Tokugawa drew his sword.

If Yuhara gets hurt even a little here, the Black Dragon Fleet will kill the shogunate and rebuild the country on their blood and flesh.

Yuhara didn’t want the young lives to disappear in vain.

“Young people are the future and foundation of the country. I don’t mind slaughtering your subordinates like that. The Japan we occupied will be annexed by Joseon and will be ruled by Easterfield as the Federation of Joseon. However, that rule will be run by a republican government in which the people take the lead and exercise their sovereignty. You too can exercise that sovereignty as a citizen.”

“Do you think you will fall for such nonsense?!”

Yuhara let out a laugh.

“Fufu, that’s funny. What if I don’t fall for that sound? What if I don’t pass?”

“… … what?”

“Can we beat Easterfield?”

Japan has already lost to Easterfield.

Not just once or twice, but in partnership with Joseon and carrying the blue light on his back, he suffered a defeat that was close to massacre.

What the hell can the Edo Shogunate do against the Easterfield Federation Forces?

Yuhara pulled out a gold pistol and held it.

shudder.

“If you pull it, it goes out. The things you guys carry and set up have nothing to do with Japanese swords or rifles at all. Just as you can’t beat a gun no matter how well you use your sword, no matter how advanced a gun is, it’s still a gun. In the end, we can’t beat Easterfield with those weapons.”

“… … Shit.”

“Come on. I’m going to give you a hole in your head.”

When it comes to swords, there is probably no one in Japan who uses them better than Yuhara.

He mastered the sword by killing real people when he babbled about the kendo that didn’t even become a samurai or the way of a samurai.

There was no way Iyoshi could defeat Yuhara in such a real swordsmanship. Nevertheless, Yuhara did not hold the sword.

Because it was foolish to use a sword that much.

“Again, when I pull the trigger, it goes out. I can show you.”

“… … You look like a damn monkey!”

“Damn it?”

Yuhara shot Iyoshi’s left arm.

Taang!

Then blood gushed out of his arm like a fountain.

“Shut up!”

“Are you sick? If you wanted to inflict this much damage with a sword, it would have required a lot of movement. Of course, there is no guarantee that an attack like this can be hit.”

It was then that Iyoshi realized it.

It means that Yuhara’s army has not come to simply negotiate, but to announce dominance.

Before long, the samurai came running like crazy.

Come on!

In addition, the samurai came running with a crackling sound.

“Lord!”

“Shh, get out.”

“But the gunshots… … !”

“Okay. The conversation is not over yet.”

“Hah… … .”

“It is an order.”

Even samurai live by orders and die by orders.

They were forced to take a step backwards because of the master’s voice.

Iyoshi took a deep breath.

“Whoa, this is true. Previously, I was reckless. Apologize.”

“I’m glad I figured it out now.”

Rather, it seems that the shot helped.

Tokugawa Iyoshi finally came to his senses.

“… … great. I will abdicate.”
