Chapter 536
While Joseon was busy with a game of cat and mouse – or rather, a game of peek-a-boo – with Ming over the Oirat issue, they remained busy with other matters.
Among these, the biggest undertaking was the migration of Tsushima residents to Joseon, starting with the daimyo of Tsushima.
Japanese ships loaded with Tsushima residents headed toward Dongnae under the nominal escort of Joseon naval warships.
Upon arriving in Dongnae, the Japanese from Tsushima recovered from their journey at reception centers prepared by Joseon. After resting, they headed to the railway station under Joseon military supervision.
PEEEEEEEP! SCREECH! THUD!
“AAAAAH!”
“Oni! It’s an oni[1]!”
“Namu Amitabha! Namu Amitabha!”
The Tsushima residents caused quite a commotion upon seeing the iron horse that produced loud whistles and heavy vibrations.
