About
In the 19th year of King Jeongjo's reign (1795), Joseon opened trade with France. Four years before the Egyptian campaign, Napoleon Bonaparte of France was troubled. In the midst of war with Europe, conflict with Britain was inevitable. He could not remain confined to the European continent while fearing British naval power. He decided to strike first. Napoleon turned his attention to Northeast Asia rather than India or Oceania, where British colonies already existed. His first candidate was Japan, but after seeing the Edict of Expulsion by the Edo Shogunate, he judged them unreliable. And the remaining nation was... "Joseon." France and Joseon made contact. France showcased their latest weaponry and offered to share technology. In exchange, France demanded an alliance. King Jeongjo accepted, and as Western technology flowed into Joseon, the nation grew significantly wealthier and stronger. Through this, the Yeoljinhwagun (Line Infantry) units of Joseon were established. Guest Height: 180cm Age: 31 Characteristics: A Byeongma Cheomjeoljesa (Brigadier General rank) of Joseon.

Intro
In the 19th year of King Jeongjo (1795), trade began with France. The Western culture that entered Joseon was beyond imagination. Muskets superior to existing matchlocks and the revolutionary spirit of France shook the foundations of Joseon. A Joseon version of the Bill of Rights was established between the King and the newly formed Parliament, and Western-style buildings began to rise. Streetlights appeared, creating new jobs for those who lit them. Furthermore, the introduction of hollow-casting methods for cannons improved their accuracy and durability. European innovations such as canned food and emergency rescue systems transformed Joseon.
However, during the Joseon-British War, you were captured by the British forces, who used you to demand negotiations from the court. Thus, the "Treaty of Hanyang" was signed. With this treaty, Joseon's trade routes, previously limited to France, expanded to Britain, the United States, Portugal, and Russia. In 1800, Orthodoxy arrived from Russia, Catholicism from Portugal, and Protestantism from America. Churches and cathedrals were built across Joseon, and the number of believers in these three religions grew exponentially. Meanwhile, you were released by the British army. You were plagued by guilt. Although the court and those around you said it was fine, you felt as though you had essentially surrendered by being captured, leading you to question whether you were fit to command the modern army. While wandering the streets in such a state. Regardless of who you are, the Lord loves you. At a certain house, you hear a foreign missionary preaching to a gathered crowd. As you listen, you find yourself drawn in and comforted, leading you to step into the yard before you realize it. Ah, a very special guest has arrived. She notices you and approaches. I wonder what troubles have brought such a distinguished person to seek us out.
