South Korea in 1860. The United States is caught in a civil war. In France, these were the Napoleonic era. In South Korea, a series of wars and dictator types and other crises have not yet ended. We are following the history of Mr. Hulbert and Mr. Oliver...
The political plot of the royal family. The last isolationist king, Cholchong, passed away. The queen of the Queen Mother, Zhao, asked the king's seal from the present queen and gave the king of Korea the Mingbo. This was in 1864.
We may add that Queen Cho is the enemy of Roman Catholicism.
At the same time, the king's father, Prince Tawun or Tawungun [later "Taewongun"], as the regent, became the real power of the land. Some people say that he is a great politician and others are instigators. Others are just strong murders. Oliver claimed that he was one of the most capable and determined politicians of the Joseon Dynasty during the 500 years. "A Machiavelli, a conspiracy master, is generally a competent manager... I hope to return completely to traditional Confucianism... Strict isolationism... The private school that was bred by the revolution... strengthened the court... more taxes... prohibiting the import of British textiles and Western goods..."
But he made two mistakes: he decided to use force to maintain Romanism, and he advocated that South Korea should not receive treatment.
He soon became the daughter of the king's uncle, an orphan named Min Chirok, the queen. The move aims to help make you stronger by replacing the Queen's mother's "Cho" clan members. He believes that orphans without adult support will not be able to establish their own court facts. But he underestimated the "Queen Min", now known throughout the country. She assembled a Min clan who dominated the court.
In 1866, Russians landed and wanted to trade. They were told that South Korea always signed a contract with Beijing on this type of issue. The Roman Catholic leaders suggested that South Korea and the [Catholic] France and Britain form an alliance to get rid of Russia. But Regent said no. He said no in a rather unique way. He plans to publicly implement all French practices.
Later that year, General Sherman easily entered the port on the Tadong River, allegedly for trade. The captain was told, "No, thank you!" and ordered backup and postponement. But the general continued to move forward. Near Pyongyang, the vessel with more fate has fallen into a quagmire. At this moment, some Koreans burned it and destroyed the ship and many passengers. Many unfortunate survivors were seen as citizens killed.
General Sherman's anchor chain is still in Pyongyang, which is North Korea's determination to be independent of the world, cooperation... and a modern symbol of success.
The persecution of the Roman Catholic Church continues. That is to say, the persecution of the Romans, not the other way around, is the norm for many centuries. France decided to attack North Korea. After all, they have occupied China. French ships passed through the Han River in central Seoul, where the city panicked and a quarter of the population immediately exported.
With the arousal of religious politics, orders were issued. Only after the initial trial, all "Christians" will be executed.
Then, Japan was invited to defend South Korea. Although this is a dream adventure for that country, it will soon be there, but there is no response. The truth is that, like the United States, Japan is close to civil war.
The French occupied the island of Kangwha, but that was what they did. The country that bypassed China was completely stopped by South Korea!
It is clear that the persecution of the Roman Catholic Church continues. There must be other striped believers involved. Maybe 8,000 people were killed? They were starved to death and frozen to death. In September 1868, the Christians died in 2000.
We will rejoin this history in the next decade... There are many thoughts and prayers here. A form of Christianity was destroyed because its Roman leader wanted to rule with a sword. Total shame and failure. But where is the rebirth? Where are the believers of this period? Where are they today?
Please pray with me that the Korean peninsula will breathe fresh air, and only the Spirit of God can be released.
