"A large number of soldiers went to theorize because there were too many things like bran and gravel mixed with the food......"

"The soldier was captured ......"

"There are rumors that the soldier Cao sentenced Min Qianhao to disband the Wuwei Battalion and the Zhuang Imperial Battalion......"

……

Information was sent to the railway company along the telegraph line of the railway company. For Yuan Weiting, Wang Shizhen, and other young people who grew up in New China and ate state-run rice, there was a little more sand and gravel in the rice, and in addition to asking the cooking class to carefully wash the rice, everyone also had to send a telegram to ask the supply department how to do it. Mixing 30% of the bran in the grain is already an unforgivable sin in their eyes, and it is not uncommon for them to be beheaded.

In Goryeo, they were eye-opening. The landlord mixed 30% of the bran in the grain can no longer be regarded as cunning, this kind of grain was sent to the Goryeo government, and after the hand of the soldier Cao Jushu Min Qianhao, it became a grain mixed with half of the bran grit. This kind of exploitation is appalling to young and promising Chinese cadres.

Shocked by these young cadres, the elder Li Hongzhang did not know whether to say that they were born in a good time, or whether to say that they were shallow and thin-eyed. This practice was indeed a heinous crime in the Republic of China, but in the Manchu ruling area twenty years ago, it was at most a more serious inconsiderate subordinate of the superiors. The subordinates sifted the grain again, and they still ate it.

In the eyes of Yuan Weiting and other young cadres, this is already an absolute reason for subordinates to go to their superiors for theory. In Li Hongzhang's view, the theory of the Wuwei Battalion and the Zhuang Yu Battalion is because of the extremely huge contradictions accumulated by the 18 months of no salary, and this matter is just a guide.

Li Hongzhang only feels that history has reappeared now, why the foreign devils can beat the Manchus so far away that they can't find the north when they go to China, and why Wei Ze led the Guangfu Army to sweep the world without an opponent. The production capacity of both sides, the ability to execute, has turned the normal state of agriculture into something impossible to happen in an industrial country.

Looking back, Li Hongzhang felt that he was really not sky-high when he was young, and he didn't even see Wei Ze's strength. If he had seen that Wei Ze represented a new industrial country, he would naturally have to defect to Wei Ze desperately. If he can really do that, with Li Hongzhang's strength, how can he only be a bureau chief in tiny Goryeo. It's not unusual to be prime minister.

However, Li Hongzhang is a talent after all, and he is not immersed in this kind of self-pity that only weak people have. Now he lets go of the following energetic young people, and it is also for Li Hongzhang himself. If they fail, Li Hongzhang will naturally step down responsibly. Li Hongzhang, who is already 61 years old, has already reached the time of retirement, and if he wants to come to the central government, he will not leave Li Hongzhang some dignity. But! But! If these young people can really make some fame and make achievements. Then Li Hongzhang can use this credit to go to the next level.

Weeser has a retirement system, which is to eliminate the old guys and give the young people full opportunities. Since Li Hongzhang can't rely on his previous qualifications to continue to be promoted, he should rely on improving the way to give young people opportunities to gain merit.

Because Li Hongzhang has never said what he thinks, Yuan Weiting and Wang Shizhen don't know what their immediate boss thinks. They also feel that they have really met a good boss and given them ample opportunities to do things.

Yuan Weiting issued an order according to Wang Shizhen's prior planning, "All trains are suspended, and the railway public security are all armed to protect the station." Patrol vehicles are dispatched to prevent anyone from sabotaging the railway! ”

The Koreans were more receptive to trains and telegraphs, because it was not the foreign devils who promoted them, but China as a superior country. These massive, terrifying, and powerful things have indeed changed the lives of the Koreans, at least when they go far away, they don't have to work so hard. Therefore, there has not been a large-scale claim that the railway has destroyed feng shui and harassed ancestral tombs in Goryeo for the time being. Thankfully, if this kind of argument spreads widely in Goryeo, it will be much more difficult to protect the railways than it is now.

On April 30, the rioting soldiers besieged the residence of Min Qianho, the soldier of the soldier. In addition to looting, he also set fire to the mansion of Min Qianho, the soldier of the judgment book. Min Qianhao's house stored a lot of brocade, spices, and medicinal materials, and after a fire, "Fang Lie smelled for several miles". At this time, there was no rain or snow in Goryeo for four months, and it rained heavily that night. In Seoul, everyone thinks that this is God's indication that the soldiers are wronged.

The next day, May 1, when the soldiers finally calmed down, they realized that they had committed a great crime, and they hurried to the mansion of Dayuan-kun and begged Dayuan-kun to intercede. Dayuan-kun's public performance was to angrily denounce the soldiers for their audacity. But things are far from that simple, and the troublemakers did not give up on themselves in desperation. They first returned to the camp to prepare, and then took advantage of the darkness of the night to suddenly set off to rob the arsenal of the other troops.

On 2 May, the disturbance turned into a mutiny. A large number of ordinary citizens of Seoul, such as handicraftsmen, small merchants, and the urban poor, joined the uprising, and the "mutiny" quickly turned into a "popular uprising" with a general outbreak of social contradictions.

As the anti-Min Pai Japanese sentiment was fully ignited, the rebel soldiers and citizens first went to the Dongbetsu camp, occupied the arsenal, seized weapons and armed themselves, and then launched an operation in three directions: all the way to attack the Arrest Hall and the Yi Ban Mansion, and release the imprisoned soldiers and other prisoners such as Jin Chunyong and Liu Buwan, as well as the famous Confucian scholar Bai Lekuan, who was arrested by the Min Concubine group because of his opposition to the open policy.

After rescuing their comrades, the rebel soldiers and citizens smashed the mansions of Min Tae-ho, Min Yong-yi and other relatives and magnates, as well as people who had dealings with the Japanese, chanting the slogan "Kill all the Min family"; All the way, he attacked the lower capital prison, where the military camp of the Begiku Army was located, and executed the Japanese instructor Horimoto Reizzo, and occupied the Gyeonggi prison camp along the way.

When the Min clique had lost control of Seoul, the troops joined the rebels in attacking the nearby Japanese legation, threatening to slaughter the Japanese people.

The reason why China acquiesced to the Goryeo special technical army to ask Japan to teach was because there were only seven Japanese teachers. What they taught the Koreans was the methods of fighting with old-fashioned rifles, which China itself completely eliminated and which were no longer powerful. What's more, in this way, all the resentment is concentrated on the Japanese.

As China expected, on May 3, tens of thousands of angry rebel soldiers and citizens stormed Changdeokggong Palace, chasing and killing Min Concubine and Min Qianho, who finally could not hide.

At that time, Gojong was anxious to announce that Daewonjun entered the palace to clean up the chaos, and Daewonjun entered Changdeokgung Palace with the support of the rebel soldiers and citizens. Min Qianho hurriedly rushed out of Chongxi Hall, knelt and grabbed Dayuanjun's robe, and asked Dayuanjun for help. Dayuanjun just sneered, and then the soldiers beside Dayuanjun "kicked Min Qianhao down the steps, and beat the gun, building, and sword into pulp." Earlier, before Min Qian-ho was killed, Kim Suk-hyun, an observer of Gyeonggi Province, was also chopped into meat sauce in the palace. After Min Qianho's death, he and Kim Fu-hyun were abandoned in the ditch.

The Japanese minister, Yoshishikaku Hanafu, also experienced the Boshin War, and was under the onslaught of the rebel soldiers and citizens. Fierce fighting continued into the night, and the besieging Goryeo rebels burned down the houses around the legation to cut off the Japanese rear. Hwabo Yoshiji was forced to burn down the legation, and with 28 embassy personnel, he fired guns all the way, killing many besieging Goryeo rebels, and then rushed out of a bloody road, highlighting Seoul and heading straight to Incheon. During the breakout, six of the 28-strong team were killed, and the remaining 22 finally found a Japanese ship bound for trade in China at Incheon and returned to Japan in disarray.

On May 8, Japan's Meiji government formally protested to China, accusing the Chinese government of conniving at the Goryeo attack on the Japanese embassy. He also pledged to send troops to punish the rebels who participated in the "Jiashen Mutiny".

On May 9, a fleet sailed out of Kure, the home port of the fleet, and crossed the Tsushima Strait for the port of Busan. Japan's warships of more than 3,000 tons did not have time to show off their might outside the port of Pusan, and a fleet appeared from the north. At the head was the flagship of the Sixth Fleet, the Anqing. A battleship of more than 14,000 tons with a heavy cruiser of 9,000 tons circled a warship of more than 3,000 tons at a speed of 18 knots, and three warships of less than 3,000 tons circled at high speed, aiming at the Japanese warship with huge muzzles.

300 guns can sink a Japanese warship into the sea with one shot, the Chinese know it well, and the Japanese know it well. But the Japanese Navy did not let this stop the Japanese Navy from running away. In the first hour of the standoff, the Japanese warships also wanted to go around in circles with the Chinese warships at a speed of 14 knots. An hour later, the boilers of the two Japanese warships broke down one after another after they were running at full capacity, and they could only lie on the water in a very shameless way.

Faced with the ugliness of the Japanese Navy, the Chinese fleet turned its bow and headed southwest, aiming at Juwen Island, the vice-port of the Chinese Sixth Fleet.

The Japanese Navy managed to sail its ships back to its home port of Kure, and of course the protests against China did not end, but the protests remained entirely verbal. Other European and American countries did not comment on this at all, and the Koreans resented the Min Fei group and the Japanese, and the targets of the attacks were also these two. Since the legations and businessmen of Europe and the United States have not suffered any losses, the European and American countries have not found any reason to protest against China.

After ruling out the possibility of foreign interference in Goryeo, the Chinese central government calmly began to watch the drama here. Most of the backbone of Concubine Min's group in the capital were killed, and Concubine Min herself managed to escape with the help of Mrs. Jun of the courtyard.

Faced with this unexpected situation, the panicked Gaozong Li Xi was forced to urgently summon his own father Dayuan Jun to enter the palace to serve him, and he avoided going to the other hall, and announced that he would return to the Dayuan Jun to save the situation, and Dayuan Jun entered the palace with his wife Lixing Mansion Lady and eldest son Li Zaimian. Reigned as regent for the second time with the support of the soldiers and townspeople of the uprising.

The first thing Dayuan Jun did after taking power was to clean up the chaos in the palace. At this time, thousands of soldiers and citizens poured into the palace, searching for Concubine Min and hunting down officials, and it became bloody and chaotic in an instant. The king of the courtyard first ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the court, but the soldiers said: "The middle hall (princess) is here, and she will kill us and others; Die, rather do great things and die, never dare to retreat! As a last resort, the king of the courtyard immediately announced that Concubine Min had died in the chaos and issued a national funeral. He also ordered pardons for the rebellious soldiers and citizens, their dismissal from the palace, and the payment of the soldiers' outstanding salaries. Only then did the rebel soldiers and citizens lay down their arms and withdraw from Changdeokgung Palace.

Although her life was saved, after Dayuanjun took the opportunity to hold a national funeral, Concubine Min lost all power. Nominally even turned into a "deceased".

The people in charge of the Goryeo Railway and Telegraph Company did not care about this, and as they expected, Daewonjun invited Li Hongzhang to go and "discuss important matters". Looking at the expectant eyes of Yuan Weiting and others, Li Hongzhang smiled indifferently, "You don't have to worry!" After speaking, Director Li Hongzhang and Director Li calmly got into the car and headed towards Changdeok Palace.
