The military government, or Do Bang, rules the country for 60 years instead of the Emperor. The story unfolds during King Gojong's reign - where the king's authority is taken away by the military government during Koryo times. King Gojong suffered a Mongol invasion and lost the North during his reign but moved the capital to Ganghwa-do and resisted the Mongolians.
