Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The Bomb in the Palace

It wasn't until dawn that Yuan Shikai figured out where the four hundred missing Japanese soldiers had gone. They are in the palace at this time. It turned out that the last time there was trouble because of the sister-brother relationship between Concubine Min and King Li Xi, dozens of Japanese businessmen were killed, and the compensation was agreed afterwards, and because the regent Li Gang should be taken away by Yuan Shikai, the Japanese could not let it go. Unable to swallow this breath, he finally couldn't hold back his hands last night. First, Hong Yingzhi, the leader of the pro-Japanese faction, and others suddenly slashed at Min Yongyi at the reception, and then rushed into the palace in the chaos, forcing King Li Xi to issue an edict, begging the Japanese soldiers to enter the palace for "protection", Li Xi was forced to do so, and Japan Shinichiro Takezo, the minister in North Korea, expressed that he would respect North Korea's sovereignty and never interfere in North Korea's internal affairs, and categorically rejected the king's request.

After the refusal, Hong Yingzhi forced King Li Xi to ask hard again, and was rejected again by Takezo Shinichiro. When the king begged hard for the third time, Takezo Shinichiro reluctantly brought 400 Japanese soldiers Entered the palace and controlled Li Xi in their hands. Then the Japanese forced Li Xichuan's pro-China ministers to enter the palace, and they killed one by one. Six consecutive pro-China ministers were killed that night, so Yuan Shikai couldn't find them anywhere. After learning about this incident, the Qing officials Ma Xiangbo, Wu Zhaoyou, Zhang Guangqian and others stationed in North Korea were in a panic. They sent Yuan Shikai an urgent message and ordered Yuan Shikai to send a telegram to the court for instructions.

But Yuan Shikai said: Our radio station is located in Masanbu, and it will take at least ten days to come and go, and then wait for the court to hold a meeting to discuss it, and wait for the news to come back.In case the Japanese force the King of Han to issue an edict during this period of time, it will be unfavorable to my Qing Dynasty, and it will be too late by then. Ma Xiangbo said: "Although Xiao Yuan is young and doesn't understand shit, what he said makes sense. Then, let's continue the meeting and discuss it carefully. What should we do... Yuan Shikai: You discuss it first, and I will come as soon as I go... He went out and led the Qing soldiers straight to the palace in a murderous manner.

Rites first and soldiers later, a Qing soldier was ordered to send a letter to Takete Shinichiro.Taketo Shinichiro hadn't opened the letter yet, but gunshots rang out outside. Who fired first? The Japanese said: When the Qing soldiers started, they first killed dozens of court soldiers, and then joined our army. Yuan Shikai said: "As soon as our army entered the gate of the palace, the Japanese soldiers fired guns to meet them, and the battle lasted for a while. More than a hundred years have passed since this lawsuit, and so far, the two sides still have their own opinions.But no matter what, the two sides fought fiercely anyway.

Bullets flew all over the sky, and the sound of gunfire was deafening. The new North Korean army guarding the palace first helped the Japanese soldiers fight the Qing army, and later found out that the man who broke into the palace was Yuan Shikai, who was their idol, and the North Korean army immediately turned their guns. , and helped the idol fight the Japanese soldiers, and instantly crushed the Japanese soldiers in a solitary building. The dense bullets hit the Japanese soldiers so that they could not lift their heads. Yuan Shikai took the lead, facing the bullets and leading the Qing soldiers to charge the Gulou, intending to end the battle cleanly.Just as he was charging, there was a loud noise in his ear, and he felt a gust of wind rushing towards him. Yuan Shikai, who was terrified, was suddenly thrown into the air, and when he fell, he fell and gnawed on the mud. .

The earth-shattering explosion stunned all the Qing soldiers. Yuan Shikai said angrily: "The Japanese are vicious and lay down the landmines in advance. The soldiers accidentally touched the mine lines, killed two people and destroyed nine palaces and houses." The Japanese said aggrievedly: Han Jun brought a thunderbolt into the palace, and Yuan Bing exploded, wounding many people and destroying several houses. This landmine actually blew up nine palaces and at least two Qing soldiers. It took two full days of searching afterward to find the two bodies. It can be seen that the power of this landmine is extraordinary.

Such a powerful landmine was actually buried in the palace, Yuan Shikai's eyes were bloodshot with anger, he suddenly threw away the soldiers supporting him, and pointed forward with his long knife: Kill me!kill!All Japanese are not allowed to let go, kill them all! Seeing that Yuan Shikai was really angry, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the house were frightened, and hurriedly asked the leader Shinichiro Takezoe for instructions: "Minister, Yuan Shikai is really in a hurry and is going to die. What should we do now?" Shinichiro Takezoe was also afraid: We must be at fault for planting mines in the palace, Yuan Shikai, a fool, would not let it go, unless we...

Japanese soldier: Unless we do? Shinichiro Takeso: Unless we return to the embassy now through the back door.The embassy is our Japanese territory, so Yuan Shikai dare not mess around. So the Japanese soldiers listened to Zhutian's command, concentrated their firepower, and suppressed the Qing army's charge with a dense volley of guns. Then everyone turned around and ran towards their embassy. However, Yuan Shikai was so jealous that he followed the Japanese soldiers and chased after them. The road for Takezo Shinichiro to escape back to the embassy was blocked, so he had to flee to Incheon with the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese fled, and Yuan Shikai found Li Xi back in an ancestral hall, who was so frightened that his lips and teeth were pale. Li Xi is just stupid, far less clever than his sister Concubine Min.When Li Xi was shivering alone in the ancestral hall, Concubine Min's sister was sitting leisurely in the Qing army camp drinking tea. How did sister Concubine Min come to the camp of the Qing army? If it had nothing to do with Yuan Shikai, even if the Japanese were killed, they would not believe it.Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese, it was precisely because Concubine Min was already safe that Yuan Shikai ignored Li Xi's life and death, and brazenly attacked the palace.
