Chapter 538 – 50. Goryeo’s Dream
+++
Hyeonjeong-gun Headquarters.
Standing up against the defeat of the Goryeo aristocrats, they occupied several provinces and became a huge warlord with a population of 15 million.
This is a fairly large population, considering that the population of the kingdom of Throdia before it was devastated by war was around 10 million, you can see how large this is.
Hyeonjeong-gun was as large as the population size, and a large army numbering 1 million was stationed to overthrow Goryeo.
Of course, this was an absurd amount considering the size of their population and their funds, so they were putting their life and death on this.
Considering that the central army of Goryeo, which is currently gathering from all over the world, is about 500,000 to 600,000, overthrowing the empire is not just a dream.
But there was a big problem with this.
It was that only those 100 or so were not completely under the commander (Hyeonjeong).
Most of them were people who gathered to make the world equal for everyone in accordance with her noble will her, but there were some opportunists among them, and above all, people with different temperaments were mixed.
1st princess Wang Hee, who was her most influential successor her, but was abandoned by Nara and sold as a wife to Aran, and Wang So, who was dispatched to the great kingdom as her envoy before her, but became a criminal and enslaved by dumping.
In addition, Ayla, Aran’s wife, who is blatantly aiming for Goryeo’s land.
No matter how much they aimed at overthrowing the empire, there were quite a lot of Goryeo aristocrats in Hyeonjeonggun, so they were all figures that could not be neglected, and the legitimacy they had was also formidable.
In addition, they even signed an agreement with Aran, a big supporter, to divide the land they obtained after the work was over and establish their own kingdoms, so it was really not easy for them to gather their forces together.
And, of course, Hyeonjeong’s subordinates were very dissatisfied with this situation. The decisive battle with the emperor is right in front of me, so I just endure it.
“The giant slalom is not far off. Please bear with me for a little while.”
“…… But the status quo doesn’t make sense!”
“You’re right. Our soldiers are ragtags with low training, but now even a bizarre religion called the Aran Pleasure Church has come in and is causing this mess, I can’t tell if this is a military or brothel!”
At the strong tone of one of her subordinates her, Hyeon-jeong frowned at her for a moment, but did not criticize her.
Even to her, the situation was serious.
At least it can be overlooked that Goryeo princesses Wang Hee and Wang So enter and disrupt order.
However, the quality of the Aran Pleasure Cult, which was introduced with Ayla, Aran’s wife, was seriously bad.
Doesn’t it corrupt a normal woman and turn her into a slave to pleasure, doesn’t it make women stick together, doesn’t it make them abandon their noble beliefs and find Aran?
He was destroying Hyeonjeong-gun from the inside by doing all sorts of bizarre things.
It would be better if I could justly drive it out because it’s a pseudo-brain, but that was impossible because of that bastard’s Aran. Even after the establishment of the country, it is a gloomy situation that Aran Pleasure Church has to be the state religion.
“The harm is too serious. At least that religion should be driven out.”
“After….”
A reality that can only let out a deep sigh.
The wall is already high, but why are there so many obstacles?
Was holding Aran’s hand a mistake?
“But if I drove them out… The largest reinforcements will slip away. Maybe it will be more serious.”
“Hyeonjeong! Look at the situation now! Is this really our army? From those who follow the yellow years to lewd religious people! If you add them together, it’s over 30%! 30%!”
Is that all?
Due to the size of the scale, it does not flow only with the military.
The aristocrats, who previously supported Hyeonjeong unwillingly or voluntarily, also secretly showed conflict after Wang Hee and Wang So joined.
If you include the non-military forces, the power of Aran, including the Wang Hee & Wang So family and Ayla, can be felt even more.
On top of that, if the Aran Pleasure Cult continues to grow, the situation could become serious enough.
“That doesn’t mean we can’t start a civil war when the decisive battle is right in front of us. Wouldn’t the emperor take advantage of that gap? I can’t help it now. You have to be patient. For the sake of a slightly bigger cause, we have to turn our backs on things we can’t see right now.”
“Kuh….”
“More than that… Please report how the emperor’s army is moving.”
Hyeonjeong was adamant.
In any case, there is no means to take now.
Now, if all of Aran’s forces are gone, it will not end with simple chaos, and in the worst case, Aran may become attached to Goryeo.
A situation that must be prevented.
“We gathered close to 70%. The scale is about 600,000, of which about 350,000 are expected to be heavy units.”
“If you look at the numbers, there are many of us.”
“Yes… But as you know….”
“The army of Goryeo is elite, and we are ragtag. I know.”
“Yes. That’s the problem. There are guns supported by Persia and Nihon, but it is doubtful whether they will still deal a meaningful blow, and considering that beings higher than knights have already found ways to destroy them, the damage in a head- on collision is expected to be very large.”
Longevity who speaks a little negatively.
But another general objected.
“Our gun battery is 20,000. It may be useless to a knight, but if you’re an ordinary soldier, it’s an elite army and it won’t mean much. No matter how long and long the Central Army flies, it will not be faster than bullets, and their arrows will not be stronger than them. Moreover, there are many of us. If you are worried about the knights, we also have knights, so shouldn’t we leave it to them? It will obviously cost a lot, but we will win.”
There is also a knight in Hyeonjeong-gun.
Of course, most of them were from nobles, Wang Hee, Wang So’s subordinates, or those whom Aran sent along with Ayla, so strictly speaking, it was more correct to classify them as Aran’s forces rather than Hyunjeong’s forces, and this was also one of the current Hyunjeong’s major problems. .
“Of course it is. But isn’t it something to fight only this once and end it? It happened to bring down the emperor and the nobles and set the right order. Even if the emperor’s army is destroyed, what will happen after that without our army? Can we rule tens of thousands of nobles? Can you protect this land from Aran’s demons?”
“That was then! Shouldn’t we think about that after defeating the emperor?”
“So, doesn’t that mean we have to defeat them with minimal damage?”
“It’s not that we take the least amount of damage, it’s that we do the most damage to the enemy. The enemy is the emperor. An existence that can raise an army like a swarm of bees across the country with just that name! We can only win if we fight head-on, break the name, and start enlightenment!”
A meeting that escalates.
Just as Hyeonjeong was thinking about stopping her, a soldier guarding the outside approached with a troubled face.
“Princess Wang Hee, Princess Wang So, and Archbishop Ayla have come to visit us.”
“….”
The chairman, who had been so hot, became chilly as if water had been poured on him.
“Are they meeting only among themselves without us again? Can I live with this so sad?”
Three women enter, led by Wang Hee.
The faces of her Hyeonjeong and her generals who followed her hardened.
“Aren’t you going to fight the emperor soon? Then shouldn’t we call too?”
“I don’t quite agree with what you said, but I am of the same opinion.”
“Well, even if these two are like that, shouldn’t I have called them? It’s sad.”
It was a truly uninvited atmosphere.
No one spoke until they pulled out the chairs and sat down.
“… We were just discussing after work. That has nothing to do with you, right?”
“Are you really talking about that?”
When Wang Xi spoke smirkingly, the generals averted their eyes.
“What happened? Because I’m generous. So, what are you going to do? Are you going to take a spin?”
“Oh, wouldn’t that be a bit difficult? I think it would be better for me to go in and preach the justice of Aran.”
“Isn’t that almost a plague?”
“It’s not a plague. It is the truth.”
“No matter how bad it is… What is that? There’s a semen bomb. Let’s write that.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Why don’t you ask to make a semen lake, then make a tower to block it, lure the enemies, and then destroy it?”
“I think that’s worse.”
“….”
As soon as the three women open their mouths, the meeting becomes low.
Hyunjung lamented inwardly.
