Alexander Gwanggaeto Ho-tae of Northeast Asia 1. Wind on the western border (6)

 The mountain range stretched out regardless of the boundary, and the wind blew coolly in the wild vegetation overlooking the walls of Yodongseong Fortress. The light breeze fiddled with the body was enough to cool off the heat of early summer in July. Prince Damdeok's heart was mixed and heavy. The away game was won, but the atmosphere was defeated. This weighed on his chest. Prince Damdeok responded with his heart to the wind blowing to relieve his frustrated heart. I couldn't get rid of my heavy chest easily. I remembered the time when I left for the western border. He decided to participate in the western border when he saw an old man named Shin Geum sighing at the situation in the west. The old man Shingeum has been his teacher for two years. Prince Damdeok has been steadily training martial arts at the foot of the mountain of Winaamseong Fortress, about 5 ri away from the palace since he was 10. This was a secret that no one knew. However, one day, an old man with white hair approached and quietly watched him train. He hoped the old man would just walk by. So, regardless of what the old man looked at, he continued to practice martial arts. However, an elastic sound came out of the old man's forest, who had only been watching. "I'm so proud of you for being so young!" He said, "I didn't feel too good about martial arts training." I asked the old man with a disreputable look. "What do you want from me, old man?" "I just saw it as I walked by." I'm proud that the prince is training in the mountains in his short body." Prince Damdeok asked, surprised that the old man knew his identity. "How can I... What kind of person is the old man?" Prince Damdeok looked at the old man with curious eyes. From the way the old man spoke, he seemed to know something about himself. He also hinted that he had seen the training several times not only today but also in the past. "This old man is nothing but a nameless old man who goes through the mountains and practices Taoism. In the world, it was called Shingum." "What kind of work did you do in the past?" "You'll find out more about it in time."" The old man Shingeum disappeared without further identifying himself. After that, old Shin Geum appeared every few days and taught him in detail what went wrong when he practiced martial arts. Just as the old man Shingeum was attracted to Prince Damdeok, Damdeok gradually fell into the old man's martial arts and character. Prince Damdeok followed the old man and later served him as a master. Having trained martial arts under the guidance of his master, he has become quite skilled. Of course, only Prince Damdeok and the old man Shingeum knew this fact. Only his dignified appearance revealed it a little. The old man Shin Geum was no ordinary man. He was very knowledgeable not only in martial arts but also in academics and military methods, and there was no obstacle to anything. In particular, the old man Shingeum used to emphasize the history of the old Dangun Joseon more than anything else. Even though it has been 500 years since Dangun Joseon collapsed, he seemed to have never forgotten this country. Dangun Joseon, which was talked about by the old man Shingeum, was a great empire across the Korean Peninsula and the Manchuria Yoseo region, and it was a country that has developed its own unit of life by sharing a bloodline, language and culture over thousands of years. However, Dangun Joseon, a federal state of Dangun Joseon, was seized by Wiman's rebellion, who defected from the Yeon Dynasty, and collapsed in 108 B.C. due to the invasion of Korea, Dangun Joseon declined and was divided into several countries. Thus, even though it has been almost five centuries since the history of Dangun Joseon disappeared, no country has yet been established to succeed Dangun Joseon. As a result, Dongi Baedal Minjok, a descendant of Dangun Joseon, said that they were at odds with each other and that they were not able to actively block the invasion of different ethnic groups. Prince Damdeok listened to the old man Shingeum and deeply remembered that the prosperity and path of the country lies in the integration of the Dongi Baedal Minjok. Founded in the early 1920s by the Japanese Government-General of Korea in ▶ Japanese colonial era to reduce and distort Korean history, Inami Shiryu, a Japanese scholar who served as a member of the Joseon History Compilation Society, set Korea's ancient history slower than Japan's prehistoric times. Lee Byung-do and Shin Seok-ho, who served as disciples of Inami Shiryu and played a part in reducing and distorting Korean history in the Joseon History Society, survived the pro-Japanese group protection policy of the Lee Seung-man regime in August 15, 1945 and became a beauty in education.It is reduced and distorted into a servile history ruled by humans. ▶However, the remains of dolmen in Yoryeongseong Fortress in Manchuria were identified around 2410 B.C. in lower-floor culture, and the remains of dolmen in the Bronze Age in Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do and Yangpyeong-ri, Gyeonggi-do were identified around 2500 B.C. Considering that China's Yellow River civilization took place around 2200 B.C. and that the Minusinsk culture, the most advanced Bronze Age culture in Siberia, was confirmed around 1700 B.C., this proves that the Bronze Age culture of the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria is ahead of China's Yellow River basin or Siberia. In other words, the Korean people were the first to open Bronze Age culture in Northeast Asia, and archaeologically proved that Dangun Joseon was not a processed country that appears only in myths, but an ancient country that existed in history. Therefore, domestic historians and educators who reduced Korean history by trusting the false theory of Inamishiryu, which set the Bronze Age culture of the Korean people as starting in the 10th century B.C. should reflect deeply on themselves. One day, old man Shin Geum sighed deeply. Prince Damdeok had never seen it. "Master, do you have any worries?" "Have you heard that the prince has a future?" "Yes, I have." "So I'm worried." "The future will invade..." Do you mean that the aftermath is so strong?" "It's not that strong..." Old Shin Geum snorted. "But why are you so worried?" "It's nothing compared to our Dongyi Baemin." However, the Dongi Baedal Minjok is divided. If the Baedal people were united with each other, would the latter dare to surpass Goguryeo?" "Because it was divided, it was over Goguryeo, so you mean that the unity of the Dongi Baedal people became more difficult?" "You got it right." That's why I have to be punished for that's why... Also, we need to quickly build a country that will inherit Dangun Joseon." Old man Shingeum's face was still dark. Looking at the shadowy face of the teacher, Prince Damdeok's heart was also heavy. Prince Damdeok wanted to see the situation in the west with his own eyes when he saw the expression of the old man Shingeum. Only when the situation on the continent is well understood can we envision a grand ambition to unite the Dongi Baedal people in the future. "Master, I'm going to participate in this later expedition." "What?" Old Xin Keum was quite surprised. "I mean it," the old man Shin Geum noticed that Prince Damdeok's calm words were not words of temporary excitement. Damdeok, who he has seen so far, was never such a child. It was said that he was a little boy, but his intelligence and spirit were so strong that even adults could control him. Prince Damdeok's martial arts had reached such a high level that it could not be compared to ordinary criminals. However, it was still necessary to polish it further. If they did something wrong, they could not sprout and could be uprooted. asked the old man carefully. "Why did you decide to participate?" "To check the situation in the West with your own eyes." "I want to check it with my own eyes." So you're going all the way to the gate? Moreover, this expedition is a war to punish..." "The country is in danger of being invaded, and there are no children or adults left." Moreover, the master said that the Yoseo Yodong area has long been the land of Dangun Joseon. I want to see the land with my own eyes and breathe." "......" Old Shin Geum no longer responded. He just gave me a deep look of trust. "Thank you, Master," said Damdeok, expressing his appreciation to the master's heart, who was worried but believed in him. He also vowed to repay the master's trust. Prince Damdeok, who returned to the palace, visited Mother and expressed his intention to participate in the future expedition. Queen Jin asked, surprised by Prince Damdeok's words. "The prince is twelve years old now. In addition, he is a valuable body that will succeed his father in the future. "Why do you want to volunteer to go to a dangerous battlefield?" "I'm sorry to say that you're 12 years old, but you're at an age where you can make your own judgment." "Even so, the western border is too far from the national highway." And, as the prince knows, this expedition is not for sightseeing, but for war." It was my mother's other feeling that I was proud and worried about her spirit as a decent bookkeeper. However, Prince Damdeok could not back down. If the queen was actively opposed, the father and son would not have allowed it.

"I know how she feels. However, the child is not directly involved in the war. "It's just to understand the situation in the West, so there won't be much difficulty." "Oh my!" "Oh my! It's not dangerous or difficult to play in the future." I would like to understand the situation of the western border and the future development of the country. Please allow me to do so." The true Queen knew Prince Damdeok better than anyone else, and did not want to continue to block his stubborn claim. I was worried, but as a mother, I thought I should not stop my child's wishes. "I see. Then I'll take this mother's permission from the prince if she gets the royal permission," said Queen Jin reluctantly. Therefore, Prince Damdeok visited the late King Gogukyang. King Koguk seemed to have already heard the whole story from Queen Jin. Prince Damdeok expressed his intention. "I have already told you, Father, but please allow me to participate in the Soso." King Koguk was the one who wanted to listen to everything if it was the queen's request. At the same time, King Gookyang regarded Prince Damdeok's attitude as simply a whining of a little child. "The prince is not just a body. As a prince, you must learn to cherish your body." "I will bear in mind what my father said. However, if you put your own safety as a prince, who would want to put the nation's safety first in the future?" "That's a great meaningful. But how can he help overcome the national crisis with his young body? You're more of a burden..." "Now this country is threatened by enemies from all directions." But how can you count age alone? Even at a young age, loyalty for the country will awaken all the people." King Kokook Yang liked Prince Damdeok's dignified attitude of speaking out of concern for the safety of the country. His determination to overcome any ordeal captured him. He was a son who had grown up beyond recognition. King Goguk looked at his son with trust, who had matured inappropriately for his age. Prince Damdeok continued. "Dadam! This country has been invaded by countries such as Jeon Yeon, Khitan, and Baekje, and is suffering a lot. This is the only thing that breaks my heart. In the future, I would like to build a high-ranking government that will never be invaded by other countries. Therefore, I would like to directly understand the situation in the west, which is directly related to the safety of Goguryeo. Please allow me." King Gook-yang was surprised by Prince Damdeok's burning eyes. I already knew Damdeok was smart, but I didn't know it would be this much. Rather than a young son, he was a leader who would lead Goguryeo. If such a man of spirit leads the country, the future will be bright. When I thought that I could leave the future of the country to Prince Damdeok, all my troubles seemed to disappear. King Gogukyang decided to grant his request as a king who leads Goguryeo rather than as a father. "All right, let's go! Develop your dreams." "Thank you for believing in me. I will always keep in mind the words of my father." With the permission of King Gookyang, Prince Damdeok was allowed to compete with the latter expeditionary forces. Of course, there was also a hidden intention of the Duso phase. The idea was that sending Prince Damdeok to the western border would serve the purpose of establishing peaceful relations rather than punishment. It was believed that the presence of Prince Damdeok would be burdensome and that forces such as General Gojin would not dare to wage a war against the latter. As a result, some laughed at Prince Damdeok's appearance and asked if he was going on a cruise. Prince Damdeok was also listening to this murmur. So, while he was on the field, he had taken care of everything on his own, lodging with the soldiers. His efforts paid off, and the ridicule, such as whether he came for a cruise, soon disappeared. Rather, the command system and discipline of the soldiers were established, and morale was raised. Thus, it broke through the border of the rearyeon and took control of the current Sosa-ji in Liaodong-gun and Hyeondo-gun with momentum. However, all of these efforts came to nothing. The withdrawal of Goguryeo soldiers from the later land was not the essence of the cause in vain. I could have retreated with honor. It was because of the government's treatment of seeking peace out of fear of future generations. Among the people, the government was afraid of future generations. He also said, "Some day, later will invade Goguryeo." Against this backdrop, the real purpose of the expedition has been diluted. "I had such a hard time joining the expeditionary force, but to see this..." Prince Damdeok's Ah-eum tried to write beyond pain. "I can't believe you're not trying to achieve peace on your own... ...but can peace be truly achieved by the friendship you get through the construction, not by your own power?" Begging will force another surrender, and if he doesn't comply with his demands, he will break the friendship and invade... ...the peace gained by begging cannot last long." He took the sword out to relieve his mixed feelings. The weight of the knife seemed to reach my mind, but the blade had already soared into the air. Tens of thousands of air clapped silently on the blade that cut the wind, and the sword that became one with the body began to dance. Even in a single knife movement, octagonal, circular, and square were drawn frequently and disappeared. Continuous operations continued. At last, his body seemed to float in the sky, and before he knew it, he stood tall on the earth. Then a series of storms swept through him as if they had devoured everything. He put the knife in the sheath and trimmed it. There seemed to be a little frustration in the heavy press. It was the effect of moving the body for a while. "This is it," he said suddenly, and even the wind brushed the collar of Damdeok's if it were moving. He came up with a brilliant idea. As I had just done, I thought I could change the atmosphere of stagnation if all the people and the soldiers could warm up together. He went down the mountain at once. Now there was no reason to hesitate in the wild house with a stuffy chest. There was not much time to go to Tokyo as a national castle, so I had to discuss it with General Gojin quickly.   Source: Jeong Il-ho, Heavenly Kingdom, and Daeguryeo.
