Chapter 11: Li Gangying, the king of the courtyard
At this time, the Qingzi Army, like all Chinese armies, was lax in discipline. At home, in front of the fathers and elders in his hometown, he can still have some moderation. However, after entering the territory of Korea, the emperor is far away, and he is going to fight, who knows if he will be alive tomorrow? Have fun in time!
Even robbing finances, rape. Unclean. Evil deeds such as those of women have also occurred one after another, causing anger and resentment.
Originally, for Koreans, compared with the Japanese, they still welcomed the Chinese.
Because, China has long been the suzerainty of North Korea, and the North Koreans have orthodox ideas.
As for Japan, it is different, and the two peoples already have some grievances. The Min Group, learning from China, engaged in the Westernization movement. That is, to open up to the outside world, mainly to Japan.
But the Min family, like some Chinese, admires foreign countries. I think that everything is good in Japan, and the moon in Japan is also rounder than in Korea. After coming to Korea, some Japanese were arrogant, regarded themselves as the Yamato nation, looked down on Koreans, and bullied Koreans.
The reason why the soldiers made trouble this time was not only because they were not paid in arrears, but also because the Min clique asked the Japanese to train a "separate army," and the remuneration of this unit was particularly high, and both the equipment and military pay were much higher than those of other troops.
People are like this, and when they get will, they are rampant. Not only did the Japanese instructors look down on other Korean troops, but even the Koreans in other armies bullied others.
As a result, these North Korean soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and rose up.
And why did the uprising get a response from so many citizens? It also responds to the national complex of some people and caters to the xenophobic and xenophobic sentiments of some people.
To be honest, now the Chinese military are welcomed on both sides of the hostilities, and the overthrown side, needless to say, is waiting for the Celestial Empire to come to its rescue. The party to the uprising also welcomes it, why? They killed a lot of Japanese, and the Japanese came, can you let them go?
And when the Chinese army comes, the Japanese will not be able to do whatever they want.
However, everyone can't imagine that they are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and they are looking forward to a group of bandits.
"How can such a team fight." Yuan Shikai complained to Wu Changqing.
"Kid, what do you say?" When the two of them were private, Wu Changqing liked to call Yuan Shikai like this.
He was also anxious about the matter. Although, these soldiers follow him to the north and south, they can't be too strict on weekdays, and those who leave their families and businesses come out to be soldiers, is it easy to take their lives and come out? There are some things that can be turned a blind eye, but when do you have to see it? Such a pit harms the common people, can this team gain a foothold here?
"Stipulate several military disciplines, and those who violate the order will be beheaded, and the whole army will be announced. A rectification action team was organized to rectify military discipline. Yuan Shikai has long had a mature idea.
"Okay, you can handle military discipline, and you will organize the action team."
Saying that, Wu Changqing took out the order arrow and handed it to Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai happily took it, he knew that this was granting him full power. With the full support of the handsome, he is going to let it go.
Military discipline was quickly formulated, simple and clear, trespassing on people's houses beheaded, raped. Unclean. Whoever is a woman is beheaded, whoever robs property is beheaded, and whoever is ordered to do not do it is beheaded.
Wu Changqing did not change a word, and immediately asked someone to copy a few copies and publish them in each battalion.
Which army has no military discipline? No one takes it seriously, and Yuan Shikai knows this result and knows how to do it.
He personally led the team and arrested a few current. In front of the whole army, they will rob their finances and commit adultery. Unclean. Seven soldiers of the women were summarily executed.
All of a sudden, everyone knows, this time it's really playing. I can't lose my life without fighting, and I'm honest. Soon, the appearance of the troops was completely new, and the combat effectiveness was also significantly improved.
Finally, the Chinese army reached the outskirts of Seoul before the Japanese army.
After research, Qingzijun decided that Wu Changqing, Ding Ruchang, and Ma Jianzhong took the initiative to visit Li Gangying, and the idea was to trap Li Gangying, the monarch of the compound.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, but how can you trap Li Gangying, the king of the courtyard? .
In fact, when he set off, Wu Changqing, Ding Ruchang and Ma Jianzhong discussed. As soon as they entered North Korea, they let out their words: Our Chinese army is mainly here to restore order, which in today's words is peacekeeping; Non-interference in the internal affairs of the DPRK.
The internal affairs of the DPRK are the affairs of the DPRK people, and the DPRK is an independent country, and its own affairs cannot be handled by others.
What if the two sides are incompatible? At such a time, we, the suzerainty of the Celestial Empire, can mediate, can be a referee, and we will support whoever is reasonable. Reason to go all over the world, is it difficult to move an inch without reason!
At that time, Yuan Shikai still didn't understand, aren't we here to fight? Aren't we here to put down the rebellion? How did you become a referee? However, he understands now. He looked at Wu Changqing, Ding Ruchang and Ma Jianzhong with admiration. These people are not given in vain? Ginger is still old and spicy!
Now, Li Gang in the palace is going up and down, and the Japanese troops have landed, and he will definitely not be able to defeat others. The people who started the incident killed so many Japanese, and the Japanese and Concubine Min were so cheap. And how good is the relationship?
The Japanese are coming, is it okay to have him? But can the Chinese help themselves? You know, your actions this time are also rebellions anyway?
He has already sent someone to inquire, and the Chinese have said that they will not interfere in the internal affairs of the DPRK. But is that credible? Is it smoke. Fog. Bullet? What if you are here to counterinsurgency? Resistance? Are these rabble of his own opponents of the Celestial Empire's royal division? Even if you can defeat these thousands of people, can you finish it? Isn't it to provoke a war between China and North Korea? Not to mention now? Even in the Tang Dynasty, Goryeo couldn't beat others?
Is the big hero Yuan Gai Su Wen powerful? Didn't they also win the battle against Xue Li, Xue Rengui, father and son?
Why don't you go out and hide? However, is it so easy to take back the lost power, and give it up so easily?
Li Gangying was very unwilling.
These days, he just spent his time in a tangle, never making a final decision.
A spy has just reported that the Chinese soldiers have set up camp outside the city and have no intention of entering the city, which is good news. He had also heard that the army had poor military discipline when it first entered his country. Later, after killing a few evildoers, he became disciplined. Along the way, he did not commit any offense to the common people, bought things and sold them publicly, and was called a teacher of benevolence and righteousness by the people.
Is it evil or lucky? Li Gangying didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he called a few cronies to come over and discuss it together.
This is being discussed!
"Dayuan-kun, I think it's more auspicious." It was his brain that spoke.
"Why do you say that?" Li Gang should ask.
"First, the Chinese army must have come to defend the king and the state. Second, someone saw Kim Yoon-sik acting with the army, but he was a close confidant of the king? ”
Li Gangying nodded, he also heard that Kim Yun-sik was in the army, which was really not good news for him.
"Not necessarily, right? I have heard that the Chinese army does not interfere in our internal affairs, and Kim Yun-sik is very loyal to the king, but he is also dissatisfied with the rule of the Min concubine group, and he hates the dictatorship of foreign relatives. People don't know that I know, how many times did he tell me in private? How do you know that he must have brought the Chinese to fight us? What's wrong with him in the army? He represents the country in China, representing North Korea, not the Min Fei group. ”
The person who said this was the person he sent to the emperor's side, and he was also absolutely loyal to himself.
Li Gang should not help but say, this person is also reasonable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still want to talk about what we should do now?"
Li Gang should know that such a public statement is justified, and his mother-in-law says that his mother-in-law is reasonable, and he may have to argue until tomorrow. The important question is what now?
After listening to Dayuanjun's words, the people present look at me, I look at him, and no one speaks.
Li Gang should be angry about this? On weekdays, one can speak more than the other, but now I don't speak at all.
After stopping for a good day, a person spoke, this person has a very general relationship with the king of the courtyard, but his prestige in the court is very high.
"I'll say four words and wait and see."
"Sir, can you be more detailed?"
As soon as Li Gangying's words fell, someone came to report that several generals of the Chinese army had come to visit.
Li Gang asked nervously, "How many people?" ”
"Three people." The speaker replied.
"Did you lead the team?" Li Gang asked urgently.
"No, just a few guards."
Li Gang should relax for a while, "Please come in, the guards stay outside the palace gate." The person who came was just about to leave, but was stopped by Li Gangying again, "No need, let's go to meet the envoys of the kingdom." ”
