Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Sister-brother love leads to death

At the beginning, Li Gang chose the orphan Min Ciying to marry his son because he had no family power to rely on, so he would not bully his precious son. But Li Gangying ignored one point. Since Concubine Min is an orphan, her helpless life will inevitably develop her strong personality. If her personality is not strong and her heart is not strong enough, how can a lonely girl survive? It is precisely because Concubine Min has a tough personality that she is making a fuss about breaking up the family. When the daughter-in-law and her husband split up, there are no more than two solutions. One is that the husband walks out with a cane, and the other is that the young couple carry their bedding.However, these two proposals are only a result for the Regent Li Gangying:

In any case, he had to hand over power. Because the King of Korea conferred by the Qing Empire was his son Li Xi, not Li Gangying. For such a result, Li Gang responded to the unspeakable pain in his heart, and he sighed sadly: "Hua magpie, tail pouted, married a daughter-in-law and forgotten her father... Regarding the internal conflicts of Chief Executive Li’s family, Japanese historian Tetsujiro Sato commented: Queen Min's family is domineering and promiscuous, Han Wang's father has been unjust for a long time, and wants to use Qing Dynasty's side to strengthen the court...

Tetsujiro Sato meant to say: Regent Li Gangying, look at his violent temper, he is going to make trouble... On July 23, 1882, Li Gangying's personal guards gathered in an uproar, and suddenly rushed into the palace, cutting off any living things, and killing those who were panting. Brother Wang Li Zai first saw that the situation was not good, and fled wildly. Ying was old, but he couldn't run. He was overtaken by the soldiers, and his whole body was chopped off. The love between sister Concubine Min and younger brother Li Xi finally led to a fatal accident. Just killing Uncle Wang wasn't enough. Troops flooded into the palace, and they wanted to find Concubine Min's sister and kill them together. Everyone only knew that Concubine Min was the most beautiful woman in Korea, so whenever she saw a beautiful court lady, she couldn't help but say that she would kill her indiscriminately. In the blink of an eye, all the beautiful maids in the palace were cut down, and then the rebels roared and charged at the Japanese embassy in Korea.

Japanese Minister Hanabou Yoshimatari and instructor Horimoto Reizo drank in the embassy, ​​reciting poems and fus, and they recited a famous Japanese haiku: I am like a grass and tree, buried in the soil for the rest of the year, and now I have grown, and the buds have not yet bloomed... This haiku was recited too presciently. After the recitation, the rebels suddenly poured in. The instructor Reizo Horimoto drank a little too much and had no time to escape.Hanafang Yizhi, the minister in Korea, was very skilled. Under the pursuit of the rebels, he ran two hundred miles overnight and fled to Incheon.However, the rebels were still chasing after him. Seeing that Hanafang Yizhi was about to finish playing, fortunately, a British merchant ship was about to leave the port. Hanafang Yizhi jumped on board and finally escaped with his life.

A small family dispute turned into an international incident in the blink of an eye. When things got serious, the old father-in-law Li Gangying hurried into the palace and saw corpses and blood everywhere in the palace, even his own brother died in the chaos, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: Look, look, my family He Wanshixing, the family is messed up, and people are killed. I said a long time ago that the relationship between siblings will not have a good result. Lesson... So the husband Li Gang should preside over the funeral in person, and take care of the funeral for his daughter-in-law Concubine Min who died in the war.

But Li Gangying never expected that his daughter-in-law was far more eccentric than he imagined. Concubine Min was not cut down by the rebels at all, but disguised as an ugly palace maid, escaped from the palace, and fled to Zhongqing Road. He hid in the home of the Min clan. When Concubine Min returned to the palace from Zhongqingdao, it was Yuan Shikai who brought her back. The Japanese historian Tetsujiro Sato insisted that on the way Yuan Shikai picked up Concubine Min back to the palace, she was restless in her room. When the flamboyant Concubine Min saw Yuan Shikai, her legs became weak and she couldn't even walk. , launched a fierce love offensive, Yuan Shikai remained calm, and treated Concubine Min with reason and affection... As a result of this emotion, Yuan Shikai lost his position and was successfully conquered by Concubine Min...

Speaking of this Tetsujiro Sato, this person has been in North Korea for 30 years. When Yuan Shikai arrived in North Korea, he took a small penny every day and followed Yuan Shikai's ass to record. It is recorded in his notebook.Later, Sato wrote a "Yuan Shikai" based on these records, and planned to publish it in Tianjin.Yuan Shikai learned of this, and immediately sent his son Yuan Keding to Tianjin in a hurry to find Yokichi Kobata, the Japanese Consul General in Tianjin.After some secret talks, the Japanese accepted a large sum of money from Yuan Shikai and gave it to Tetsujiro Sato as a manuscript fee, and the manuscript was completely destroyed at Yuan Shikai's request.

Yuan Shikai was very nervous about Sato Tetsujiro's book. As for the reason, this has become a permanent mystery.But this incident shows that although Sato Tetsujiro's point of view is very far-fetched, it is likely to be closer to the truth itself. In Sato Tetsujiro's view, it is the woman's luck that Concubine Min has the opportunity to have a relationship with Yuan Shikai, because Sato believes that Yuan Shikai is a rare hero in the world. The regiment left the Japanese archipelago helpless, shocked and terrified.Such a hero would not be found even if the Japanese were killed, so Sato admired Yuan Shikai so much that he prostrated himself on all fours.

In addition, Sato also revealed: Yuan Shikai is a heartthrob, especially a woman. When he sees a man like Yuan Shikai, his legs become weak, and he can't help being tempted... The most terrible thing is that Sato Tetsujiro still has evidence .
