Episode 1450. I can’t do it alone. (5)
“Do as you wish.”
In the end, Hyeonjong ended up holding dual arms. Actually, there is no reason to object. How can you stop someone who wants to persuade you once and it doesn’t work?
“Thank you, Lord Maeng.”
Tanggunak, who had robbed(?) Hyeonjong’s permission, smiled softly. Then Cheongmyeong asked.
“So the party family is now completely relocating to Shaanxi?”
Tanggunak glanced at Cheongmyeong and answered.
“It’s not like that. “I have to go back someday.”
“Eh? So you’re saying you’re going to spend that much money on decorating a place to stay for a while? “Are you talking too much?”
Tanggunak smiled bitterly at those words.
“I’m not saying it’s not worth the money. And…”
Danggunak slowly turned his head and looked at Gasol who was following him.
“I also know that in order for them to adapt to Shaanxi, it would be better to completely erase the two characters for Sichuan.”
“But why?”
“Once we drive out the Sapae-ryeon, Sacheon will become completely communist-free.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Someone has to take care of it.”
A strange pain flashed in Tang Kun-Yeok’s eyes. Cheongmyeong, who saw those eyes, knew what Tanggunak was thinking without even hearing it.
These people who have served the Tang family for generations, the refugees who were relocated from the Yangtze River, and those who came because they were too desperate to take care of them, are deeply troubling.
“If you think so…”
“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not like I’m worrying about what happens next. “It’s just…”
Tang Gunak’s eyes became sharp.
“I just thought that it was no longer time to use lukewarm methods to deal with that scam. “It would be better to be certain about anything.”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong nodded. No one can start this work unless it is party evil. Tanggunak also knew this fact, so he pushed King Hyeonjong by acting in a play that did not suit his temperament.
“Actually, I think it would be better for the Tang family to return to Sacheon. “Anytime.”
“Why?”
“Seomseodang has a strange sense of English. “Sacheondanga is better!”
Cheongmyeong chuckled, looking at Tanggunak who was speechless. And I thought to myself. Tanggunak may have less military power than Tangbo, but it was definitely better in terms of decisiveness. And above all.
‘I have a lot of money.’
Because that bastard was a beggar. The so-called elder of the party family is always unable to extract money properly…
Oh, it’s not my place to tell anyone about this. So, give me some more pocket money. A long-sentence-type guy who looks like a bit of a bitch…
– What man?
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong cleared his throat loudly and slowly opened his mouth again.
“But I don’t think it will be as easy as you think. What are your plans?”
“It’s just like I said before.”
“It won’t be easy to find a place for them to live. “There are lodgings built at the time of the opening of the Cheonwoo Alliance, but that’s just the way it is…”
“Are you talking about architecture? To me, the head of the family?”
This time, Cheongmyeong became mute.
“Whenever I see you, it’s not that you nag too much, but that you have too much confidence. “Sometimes you need to figure out the topic.”
“⋯⋯Ugh. “That’s what I told Dongryong.”
Tang Gunak chuckled, but Cheongmyeong could not find anything to retort.
Tangga is home to the most skilled craftsmen in the world. Many people think of Dangga’s workshop as just a place to memorize, but Dangga’s craftsmen are multi-purpose handymen who are also skilled in machine learning. No, they were workers.
Even when the Cheonwoo Alliance was founded, didn’t everyone gape at the party’s capabilities? If we mobilize them, building a palace and housing people is not a task. Dangga is a place where even martial artists are said to be better than most carpenters.
“Then are you going to expand?”
“That’s the plan. If you are considering defense, it would be better to build a headquarters at the top of the volcano…”
“It’s like a dream.”
“yes. It’s like a dream. “Right now, just at Volcano, I hear people talking about perverts building palaces on clouds.”
“what? What kind of bastard goes around saying things like that! who is this?”
“It’s not that wrong, is it?”
“Why is it not wrong! That’s completely wrong. “It was a volcano in the first place…”
“To put it bluntly, if Hwasan had only opened a sect in Hwaeum instead of on the top of the rugged mountain, it would have overlooked Shaolin in its heyday.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Last time I looked, there was no place to expand the temple, so how many people will come to the top of that mountain to become initiated?”
“Are you saying our ancestors were stupid?”
“What did you say to the ancestors of the Tang family?”
“Off…”
Cheongmyeong trembled. This person takes revenge like this?
“Anyway, it’s difficult to build a headquarters in a place where there are volcanic waves. So, it should be centered around harmony. “We will gather all the clans there and build one castle.”
“⋯⋯The chords are going to be noisy.”
“I guess so.”
Tanggunak, who had spoken up to that point, hinted to Cheongmyeong.
“you.”
“yes?”
“Can you two talk for a moment just by yourself?”
“Eh?”
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes and looked at Tanggunak.
Ohgeom watched Tanggunak and Cheongmyeong slowly widening their distance.
“⋯⋯What are you trying to talk about?”
“It’s obvious, death penalty. “Aren’t you asking for support for the party in the future?”
“Walk… Not everyone in the world is as thoughtless as you. “If you were going to ask for something like that, you would have asked it from the master of the Taesang, not from Cheongmyeong.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Jogeol scratched his head. Then he opened his eyes wide and shouted.
“uh? I get it!”
“huh? what?”
With everyone looking at him, Geol Jo triumphantly gave strength to his shoulders.
“Think about it. “What does the party need most right now?”
“poison?”
“Memorization?”
“money?”
“Tsk tsk. It’s not like that. “What the party needs to bring back movies is strong power.”
“⋯⋯So?”
“At this point, even the head of the family is disappointed! So, you are trying again what you failed to do before! It’s probably a trap that can’t be escaped by marrying that guy back to the girl from the party… Quite a sum!”
Tang Soso kicked Jo Geol in the back with all his might.
“Then you die, Soso!”
“Please die!”
Baekcheon sighed as he looked at the people whose peace did not last long. When will these babies grow up?
His eyes turned to the two people who were far away.
“What are you trying to say so tensely?”
“When you reach the chord… “No, I was in a hurry because I thought it wouldn’t be easy to tell the story if other factions joined.”
“hmm. “Well, there’s no need to rush, but isn’t there a situation where the head of the family needs to pay attention to me or Hwasan right now?”
“So it should be now.”
“yes?”
“If we lose to the SPA, it will all be over.”
Cheongmyeong was silent for a moment and then nodded.
He has great trust in Tang military music. However, I trusted Tang Gunak as a human being, not as a comrade in arms.
No, it’s not just party music. Perhaps Cheongmyeong does not trust the other factions belonging to the Cheonwoo Alliance at all as someone who will fight together.
‘Because there is no sense of crisis.’
Those who have lived in an era of peace lack the fear of the fact that a knife could be thrust at their throat at any time. So, when you have to make a decision, you hesitate.
But now Cheongmyeong knows for sure. Although no one else knows, the Tang-gun music filled the sense of crisis that was lacking. That’s why we need to look at Tanggunak with different eyes than before.
“So what do you want to say?”
“We are not in a place where we can be defeated by a scam.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“No matter how good Jang Il-so is at strategizing, if Cheon U-maeng had been able to move as one and attract the support of the nine factions, he wouldn’t have been defeated like this by the four factions.”
“⋯⋯Is this what someone who got beaten up would say?”
As Tanggunak frowned slightly and glanced at Cheongmyeong, he humbly turned his head.
“Time and place…”
“Ah, I was wrong! “You did it wrong!”
“hmm.”
Tang Gunak cleared his throat and spoke again.
“There is only one reason we lost. There is only a desire to help each other, but there is no system. When Jang Il-so makes a decision, Sapae-ryeon risks his life to follow his orders, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. “That is the secret to the power of Sapaeryeon.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But in order to decide on one thing, we all have to share opinions, distinguish right from wrong based on those opinions, and go through the process of persuading those who will follow and those who will not follow through that conversation.”
Cheongmyeong looked at Tanggunak with a stern face.
“There is no way an alliance like this can function properly.”
“⋯⋯I understand what you mean, but I don’t think this is what the person who opened a new path through conversation a while ago would say?”
“Of course, there are advantages to this method. There are times when it is necessary. But… do you really believe that it is right to stick to that method even in wartime?”
Cheongmyeong could not answer.
Because he already saw it. What kind of results does a ragtag leadership and a coalition of dozens of heads produce on the battlefield?
If Cheongmun, who didn’t particularly like to come forward, couldn’t stand it and came to the forefront to coordinate everyone, they would have collapsed without even being able to properly resist the Demon Cult.
“I learned for sure through this incident. Cheon Woo-maeng must change. We need to have proper trust in each other… but we need to change this situation where there are many heads. “Whether it is right or wrong, once an order is given, it must be strictly followed.”
“Like Sapaeryeon?”
“I hate to admit it, but… I guess so.”
Cheongmyeong let out a long breath.
“I understand. “Are you saying it’s difficult for Lord Maeng to play that role?”
“I see. He is not a man lacking in leadership, but he is also not a man who can push someone when there is a difference of opinion. And he is not someone who can grit his teeth and accept the sacrifices of his allies.”
“Now a lot has changed.”
“⋯⋯It will collapse. “Because he wasn’t that strong to begin with.”
“hmm.”
Cheongmyeong nodded as if what he said made sense.
“I know what you’re trying to say. So, ultimately, Cheonwoomaeng needs a proper head and other heads need to be subordinated under that head, right?”
“I see.”
“⋯⋯Somehow.”
I thought it was a little strange when they said they would give away everything that was left of the half-finished party, but that seems to have been their intention.
“all right. What are you saying? So, does that mean the party can play that role?”
Tanggunak looked at Cheongmyeong in silence at the direct question. Cheongmyeong nodded as if he understood.
Surely, if that is done, even if the force is weakened, the reputation will be able to be raised beyond the past. It was a reasonable decision to aim for the revival of the party based on its reputation.
“But you don’t need to ask me for anything like that. There is no one else who is suitable for that, other than the head of the party. “I will actively push for it, so please do well.”
If the position of the deputy leader of the party and military forces is formalized and all power is given to him, the Cheonwoo Alliance system will definitely be established. Of course, things will be a little different from now, but since this is the situation, we have to accept that.
It was originally created for everyone to help each other. It would be natural to change and find the best.
However, Tanggunak’s reaction was a little different from Qingming’s expectations.
“You didn’t understand what I said, Hwasan Sword Association.”
“yes?”
“I am not the right person. Those who belong to the Cheonwoo Alliance don’t owe me anything. There’s no reason for them to listen to me. “I think I’d rather step down from my position as vice-lord.”
“yes? No, what is that…”
“It’s time for you to stop doing dirty work behind people’s backs.”
Tang Jun-Yeok looked at Qingming with resolute eyes.
“Officially establish a new position as Commander-in-Chief in the Cheonwoo Alliance and ascend to that position. The party will do our best to support you.”
Cheongmyeong’s face became blank, as if he had been hit by something.
