Chapter 51 North Korean shit

North Korea is a sought-after place because many countries have bad ideas about it. Japan's idea is the most brutal: to lure North Korea to separate from the Qing Dynasty to stand on its own, and to occupy North Korea by itself. How vulgar is Japan!Fortunately, Russia is a little more restrained than Japan: it is almost enough to use North Korea as a base for going south. Other powers such as Britain and the United States have a more graceful mind: slowly encroaching on North Korea and expanding their interests in the Far East. The people of North Korea are very sad. North Korea is such a land of four wars, and there is an incompetent king.At this time, the king of North Korea, Lee Hee, was a wimp. When he was young, he was manipulated by his father, the regent, Daewon-jun.

Although the Min family is especially good at controlling power and being profligate, they also have another advantage: occasionally they think about getting rid of the self-reliance of the Qing Dynasty. In 1880, under the auspices of the Min family, North Korea, as a vassal state of the Qing Empire, concluded the "Japan-Japan Ganghwa Treaty" with Japan, showing its favor to Japan and opening ports for trade with Japan. The Min family originally wanted to use Japan to check and balance China, but they did not expect to lift a rock and shoot themselves in the foot. One is that Japan is worried that there is no chance to eat North Korea in a fair manner, and North Korea's fat meat is delivered to the door by itself.

The second is that the father-in-law Daewon has always been known for his conservatism, and he considers himself the protector of the Korean national industry.It's all right now. After opening up business with Japan, cheap Japanese goods quickly seized the North Korean market, which greatly stimulated Mr. Daewon, who had already retreated to the second line.The father-in-law's relationship with his daughter-in-law Min's was already extremely disharmonious, and now the father-in-law is naturally even more dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, and is extremely eager to come back out of the arena.

The Min family is a scheming woman. In order to prevent her father-in-law from reappearing in the rivers and lakes, she promoted her relatives to take charge of the financial department and the army. Although these people have poor conduct and like to corrupt—their main way of corruption is to deduct soldiers’ wages and food, But they have a common advantage: they are obedient like dogs, and they can bite whoever they want to bite. For the Min family, this is enough. For Dayuan-kun, these people are enough. In 1882, there was a severe drought in Korea. Min’s cronies are still corrupt, filling their pockets with disaster relief rations and military pay, never thinking about the life and death of the common people, nor the life and death of the soldiers under them: the army has not received wages for thirteen consecutive months, food It is also rice mixed with sand.

The soldiers also figured it out: Since you don't care about our lives, then we don't care about your lives, right? Rebel soldiers killed the corrupt relatives. The rebel soldiers rushed into the palace, frantically looking for their greatest enemy - the Min family. Rebel soldiers stormed into the Japanese embassy, ​​killed Japanese officials stationed in Korea, and killed ministers and diplomats who colluded with Japan. It doesn't make sense, the Japanese don't have that much hatred with these soldiers, so why did they kill the Japanese, and why did they kill officials related to Japan?

Yes, the Japanese did not offend these soldiers, but they offended one person: Lord Dayuan, who wanted their lives. The mutiny in the army was instigated by Lord Dayuan behind his back.Because he has enough reasons to do so: killing the authoritarian Min family, he can come back to power; killing the Japanese can protect the country's national industry. Thanks to those greedy relatives, thanks to this year's natural disasters, Mr. Dayuan finally waited for the opportunity to come back out of the rivers and lakes. However, the two slipping through the net will not give him this chance.

One is the Min family. This woman disguised herself as a court lady and fled to other places to escape.On the way to escape, Min deeply reflected on the reason why she became a bereaved dog. She felt that all this was caused by her hugging the Japanese thigh by mistake, and thought of a solution to the problem: instead of hugging a thigh, she would go to the Qing Dynasty. Empire help! The other one is the Japanese ambassador to North Korea Yoshito Hanafura, this kid narrowly escaped death, and returned to Japan to send reinforcements! This mutiny that took place in Seoul, North Korea, was known as the "Renwu Mutiny" in history.
