■ Alexander Gwanggaeto the Great of Northeast Asia 2. The spirit of young generals (8)

 Damdeok, who did not neglect martial arts training even after becoming a prince, secretly went into the mountain and focused on polishing the sword law under the teachings of the old man Shingeum. He worked tirelessly to master this principle according to the words of the old man Singeum, who instructed him to learn the reason of the sword first. Martial arts training was conducted without skipping a day. He ran from place to place with a long sword in the freezing cold. How much he jumped, the heat warmed the air around him. Through this hard work, the scientific principle of the sword was acquired through the body. But then there was the problem. No further progress has been made on the sword. Prince Damdeok struggled in agony to solve this problem. Then one day, while training in martial arts, I looked down on domesticity. In front of his eyes, he saw a forest area that had never been touched by humans. It was a city castle surrounded by thick forests. "Did they carve out that lush forest area and build the present city wall?" Even though nature is huge, it is not as powerful as man!' He thought of this and tried to look closely at the city again, and the figure disappeared in an instant. As he immersed himself in the scare method, he seems to have had a fantasy for a while. At that moment, I remembered a conversation with an old man Shingeum. "The founding philosophy of Dangun Joseon is the Hongik people. Therefore, the basic principle of the Divine Dagger Method should also be found in human sense. It's no other than a man who moves a sword." "So why do you practice herbivores and swordsmanship using them?" "To be a master of martial arts, you must develop a sword without a margin of error. But you have to control your mind to get to the point of teeth." "So do martial artists dream of becoming one of the swordsmanship?" "Yes, but the swordsmanship itself is not the end of the martial arts. We must carve out a whole range of beneficial swords and minds. This step is the completion of the Sindan Sword Law." Prince Damdeok strongly stepped on the ground, reflecting on his teacher's words. The ground remained motionless, leaving only the footprints he had taken. A city wall could not have been built with a single footprint. It would have been pioneered by the united power of countless people.' Suddenly, the principle of the Shindan Sword Method seemed to be in hand. But I couldn't really bring it up. I looked at the top of the mountain with a little excitement and a little frustration in a state of ignorance. If the principle of the Shindan sword method is not understood, the teacher's words to go up to the top of the mountain were raised more. The mountain peak stood alone in the middle of the blue sky, showing a peaceful and leisurely appearance. The summit looked haughty and relaxed. I wanted to climb to the top of the mountain. I've already gone up several times, but I wanted to go up again now. The prince went up with a bewitched pace. The green shoots were growing on the ground. But the number was decreasing as it went up. 'The top of the mountain would not have sprouted yet. The green shoots must be the nourishment that makes you look proud, but how on earth is the summit so confident without it? What kind of source is it that fascinates people.' The prince looked down at the sound of the water in the valley, tilting his head at the fact that it was not new. The water in the valley drove more water as it flowed. The water in the valley was heading toward the huge sea, and the base of the mountain was leading to an endless field. The mountain peaks were all nourishing. The summit led the water of the valley to the sea with its body at the bottom of the mountain supporting it. The power of the summit was the power of the sea and the power of the field under the mountain. But the mountain was proud and haughty. The prince saw the sign of the summit in his beating heart. The prince danced with the gesture. His blade, which began to move, was already facing endless fields and huge seas. His ever-changing blade gradually became simpler. His sword went from valley to stream, from river to river, from river to sea. When he finally reached the sea, a powerful force came out of his sword. It was powerful enough to swallow everything. The sword, compressed by thousands of invisible blades into a single blade, swept through everything. It was a demonstration of sea swordsmanship on the sea. The sword was not perfect. There was a little disruption, but it was a powerful sword method. He realized the reason of the new dagger method, which he struggled and struggled to find. Although it is not completed now, it will be solved by training in the future. He looked for a moment at the top of the mountain with a happy face, then turned to go down alive again. It was the sound of old man Shin Geum calling, "The Crown Prince's Highness!" He bowed to his teacher in dismay. "I'm about to go up to the top of the mountain, but will you go up, too?" Old Singeum asked casually. 'No, I'm going down.' 'No. I'm about to go down." "Why would you give up halfway when you're about to go up?" "Because I realized that the power at the bottom of the mountain is the power at the top of the mountain, and that the water in the valley flows into the sea." "The power at the bottom of the mountain and the power of the sea." I'm so proud of you. I can't believe I've already realized the reason of the Divine Dagger Act..." "I've only learned a little bit about the shell. I still have a long way to go to catch up with my teacher. I will continue to polish and enlighten you on the essence of the new dagger method." The prince's words were not empty words. Since then, he has mastered the essence of the new dagger method based on the principles of the sea sword method. Prince Damdeok looked up to the sky and sighed for a while in the front yard of Taegungjeon Hall, and suddenly pulled out a defeat sword. He tried to calm himself by looking at the blades flashing in the sun. Even though he was the prince of a country, he was unable to save young generals who were caught in a group of state ministers. It was clear that Moduru and Busabi were on his side no matter what anyone said. And yet, I couldn't do anything about it. Only a plan to follow the horse and give it a name when Janghyup appealed to the late King Gogukyang, the father king. The pain left a faint scar in the middle of the chest. He whipped himself in pain. "The monarch is in the center of the country and cannot carry out the selection that touches the people, and is weighed down by the power of power, so he is in a position to close his eyes even though he knows corruption." If this continues after I succeed His Holiness to the throne... ...no. It is necessary to drive out the clandestine gang and establish authority as a monarch and lay the foundation of the country. To do so, you need to build up your strength. Strong central power must be established. Only then can the future dream of building Goguryeo into a great empire be realized.' The prince clenched his teeth as he focused his eyes on the blade. Daedae Duso, a national figure, knew well that Prince Damdeok, unlike his father, King Gogukyang, was a brilliant and bold person and a wise person not suitable for his young age. Therefore, after dismissing the young generals who followed the prince, he was directly aiming for the prince. At that time, Goguryeo attacked Baekje in August 386, when it achieved stability in the western periphery, but was defeated without defeating Baekje's stubborn resistance. Du So argued that Baekje should be punished again. He told Hu Yeon that he should take a peace policy, but he was firm with Baekje. It was also so astute that it was raised as soon as the news of its defeat in the battle with the Baekje army was delivered. The ministers were puzzled by Du So's sudden change and looked at each other. Janghyup sympathized with Duso, saying that it was right to conquer Baekje for the safety of the country when the western periphery was stabilized. Then, the trend tilted toward punishing Baekje. But what really mattered was who to send. The competent young men had already been dismissed. The controversy ended at the point where the divided parties agreed to send someone who could successfully conquer Baekje. So far it's been very natural. Duso seemed to have become a loyalist to establish the nation's spirit. It had no choice but to look like that when it was asked to conquer Baekje, the enemy of Goguryeo. But things happened in a completely different place. Praise for Prince Damdeok was circulated among the people. Then, rumors spread that the prince himself was punishing Baekje. And now, it was said that he would go to the southern Pyongyang castle immediately. It was a ploy to send Prince Damdeok away from the national fortress. Otherwise, there was no way that the prince was suddenly mentioned among the people and that he would go to the South Pyongyang Province. The prince was busy training martial arts around this time. Moreover, even if you are a man of great ambition, no one would say that you should send a young child who is 13 years old to the conquest of Baekje. Now the prince was swept away by this rumor and had to decide, regardless of his will. But any decision was entrapped. If he didn't go to court, he had to endure a political blow at a young age. On the contrary, the question of whether it could win the battle against Baekje remained, although it was a courageous and courageous decision if it battle against Baekje. If defeated or caught in the conquest of Baekje, the future will be bleak. Prince Damdeok left the palace, leaving his disturbed mind behind, and went up to Hwandosan Mountain, where Winaamseong Fortress is located. Since he was a prince's status, there was a great concern that he would be exposed to the perspective of his surroundings, but when he met the old man Shin Geum and went for martial arts training, he was always short. The only people who knew that the martial arts he learned from the old man of Singeum reached a high level and that the Shindan Sword Method was also in its completion stage were the crown prince and the old man of Singeum. "Teacher, I'm here to greet you." It was the sound of the prince calling in front of the hut where the old man Shin Geum lives. The door of the hut opened, and the old man Shingeum appeared.

"I'm proud that you made the decision to go to the battlefield at a young age, but isn't it too dangerous?" Old man Shin Geum asked as if he already knew what the prince was trying to talk about. "I am about to succeed His Majesty as the sovereign of this country in the future. I thought I had to set an example for my country's prosperity." "Coward would be offensive to the ear." "Of course, it wouldn't be good to wear the label of a coward." But it's a conclusion that I've come to think about how it's right to build strength." "Build strength?" "Yes. In order for Goguryeo to prevent foreign invasion and overcome the crisis, it must have strong power. However, Goguryeo is currently not internally centered. Above all, the power of the royal family is weaker than the power of the gods. I decided to go to war to get a foothold to build up my strength." "Have you ever endured seeing young generals suffer? What's the difference now that you've put up with it?" "Patience is the process of building strength. However, in the current state of the country, we cannot promise the future. Political defeat is great, but we cannot guarantee the safety of young generals. It's going to end up sitting down and slowly sinking." The prince made his resolution firm in front of his teacher. His passionate words of resolution continued. "We need space to grow our strength. I wouldn't mind any adversity if I could keep my balance. Moreover, there is no reason to miss this golden opportunity when they say they will prepare it on their own," the old man Shin Geum asked in a side dish tone. "You have a great spirit. However, if you want to visit Baekje, you will have to take measures against it..." "It will never be difficult if you go with young generals." Prince Damdeok decided to join hands with young generals and go on a trip to build the nation's spirit. The old man Singeum picked up something and came out to the yard and approached the prince. What he was holding was Gyeonggung and tradition. The old man Shin Geum handed a bow and arrow to the prince and said, "There are never two suns in the sky. However, there are two suns rising in the sky of Goguryeo. This is not only against natural laws, but also against the laws of human life. How can I correct this?" The prince could understand what the old man meant. "If there were two suns in the sky of Goguryeo, I would shoot down one of them." After saying that, the prince pulled a bowstring toward the hot sun and fired an arrow. The arrow, fired high into the sky, flew far away and disappeared from the crown prince's sight.
