The Shuoning detachment of the 1st Brigade of the 10th Brigade, which landed at Wonsan on 8 August, was led by Major General Tatsumi Naowen, including the 1st Brigade of the 12th Infantry Wing, the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing, a squad of the 3rd Squadron of the 5th Cavalry Brigade, and the 1st Squadron of the 5th Artillery Wing, totaling more than 2,400 people.

Nozu Dokan ordered the Sonyeong detachment of Immediately Sang-wen to take the eastern road, cross the Xiangwon Avenue, cross the Taedong River from Maitiandian, and attack the northeast of Pyongyang.

And his Fifth Division Headquarters, the 22nd and 12th Infantry Wings, the 5th Cavalry Brigade, the 5th Artillery Wing, the 5th Engineer Brigade, and the Sanitary Corps, totaling more than 5,400 people.

Today, he pulled out his camp from Seoul and went out of Gangseo County to attack southwest Pyongyang.

Nozu Michikani's face was not taken lightly because the empire had not found any trace of the Qing army so far, because so far, the empire's three-way army had not really approached the outer defense area of Pyongyang City.

And in those dangerous strongholds on the outskirts of Pyongyang, once the Qing army is heavily guarded, then-

Nozu Michikan's cheeks couldn't help but tremble, if these strongholds could not be attacked for a long time or suffered heavy losses, then gathering in Pyongyang before the 15th to launch a general attack was tantamount to a joke!

Then we can only humiliately suspend any military operations, and wait for the arrival of His Excellency Youpeng in the native county and the reinforcements of the 3rd Division.

Nozu Michikan's eyes searched all the way on the map, and soon found these strongholds that were easy to defend and difficult to attack:

Stop in front of the Ninth Mixed Brigade, the Dongxian Ridge between Fengshan County and Huangzhou County, especially the Sheren Pass on the Dongxian Ridge with the title of 'One Husband is the Pass, Ten Thousand Men are not opened'.

Then there is the first town north of Kaesong, bordering the river in the west, the mountain in the east, and the Huangzhou Mansion with a large steep slope in the north and south.

In front of the Soning detachment, the two mountains sandwiched the Liulu River in Samdeng County, which is extremely dangerous, and the ancient ferry port of Wonsan Avenue that must be passed through to Pyongyang in the east.

In other words, as long as the Qing army put enough troops into these four strongholds, the 9th Mixed Brigade and the Soning Detachment will inevitably usher in four fierce battles before attacking Pyongyang!

Nozu Dokan couldn't help but bet on the only way for the Wonsan detachment, Chengchuan Castle.

It is also a dangerous place facing the water and the mountain on the other, although the terrain is open, but if the Qing army is brave enough and sets up heavy troops to guard, there is no doubt that it is still a vicious battle that has to be fought!

In this way, that is, the march route of his Fifth Division is the smoothest, but counting on his only 5,000 people, it is tantamount to an unimaginable miracle to conquer Pyongyang.

Keisuke Otori, the Minister of the Oriental Mission, and the generals of the Fifth Division, stood quietly behind Lieutenant General Michikan Nozu.

"General Nozu, did you order the armies of Wonsan, Yongsan, and Nakdong to also march north and participate in the Pyongyang campaign?"

Keisuke Otori looked at Nozu Michikan's solemn expression, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and propose: "Pull the cavalry squadron stationed in Seoul over as well, with the military strength of a brigade, I am confident that I can suppress Dayuanjun and Concubine Min!" ”

"If the princes are unable to fight, Wonsan is an important landing base for the future army of the empire to attack Pyongyang, and it must not be lost; Incheon is the key point of the military port, Yongsan, and Nakdong are on guard in the southern part of the Donghaeong, and the officials of Seoul, including Daewonjun, are all focused on the Qing country; Li Xi, Concubine Min must not afford to lose, otherwise once they fall into the hands of the Qing State, the empire will fall into great passivity in diplomacy, and you and I can only disembowel to thank the emperor! ”

Nozu Michikan turned around and looked at the generals in the division headquarters with a glittering gaze: "Gentlemen, for the sake of the Great Oriental Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, let's set off." ”

"For the Empire, for the Emperor!"

Suddenly there was a frenzied roar from inside the room.

Seoul, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Siejeon Palace.

Li Yuying, the 75-year-old ruler of the Xingxuan Courtyard, sat on a stool intently, annotating the recitals of the eight places.

And his own son, the 26th king of the Joseon Dynasty and the founding emperor of the Korean Empire, Yi Hee, sat boredly on the dragon chair, impatiently waiting for his father to finish the recital, and then he could go out to play with his concubines.

Although Li Yuying's ears were no longer very bright, he still heard the sound of his 42-year-old son's fat ass writhing on the stool.

Li Yuying raised his head and glared at his unsuccessful son, and asked, "What is Concubine Min doing these days?" ”

Li Xi, who was stared at by Lao Tzu, shook his head honestly: "I don't know, I haven't been to Jiaotai Hall these days." ”

"Ugh."

Li Yuying let out a long sigh, since the Orientals occupied Seoul and drove away the Qing army, although he sat on the throne of the coveted regent again, but his heart was even more worried.

I was afraid that the Qing army would defeat the Orientals, so when Yuan Shikai's domineering guy came back, he would have to obediently give way to Concubine Min and continue to return to his cold palace to lie on his stomach for years.

However, if the Orientals defeated the Qing army, that would be the beginning of the real disaster of Great Korea.

The Great Qing Kingdom is just to gain the face of a suzerain, and it has always been known for making big mistakes and not taking advantage of the vassal state.

And these Orientals with wolf ambitions are peeking at the 2,000-mile great country of the Korean nation!

Which is more important, as the monarch of the courtyard, how can Li Yuying, not know it?

Otherwise, he would not have put forward the slogan of 'reprimanding foreigners and reprimanding the Japanese' when he was first regent that year, and all the national thieves who dared to have fornicated with the Japanese in the country would be executed.

"I hope that the East Ocean and the Great Qing Dynasty can fight on a par and lose both, then the East Ocean will not be able to touch the territory of my Korea, and the Great Qing Dynasty will not be able to interfere with my regent, the Great Han!"

Li Yuying sighed again, and said to his son who is not a talent, in his forties, and only knows how to drink and play with women: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Jiaotai Palace to sit down, although Concubine Min has made the country a miasma over the years, but after all, she is a woman who has been with you for almost thirty years." ”

Looking at his son's noncommittal appearance, Li Yuying lamented that 'the family is unfortunate' and gave birth to such a waste.

But he never thought that this waste had been living in the shadow of his alternation with Concubine Min since he ascended the throne at the age of twelve, how could he cheer up?

Li Yuying looked to the north worriedly, he received a secret report yesterday that the Japanese army had landed in Yuansan, and there was still a Japanese army that had marched to Ruixing Mansion.

As soon as Li Yuying learned of this astonishing news, he immediately secretly ordered his subordinates loyal to him to go to Suwon City, which was still under his control, to telegraph the city of Suwon, which was still under his control, and to telegraph Min Bing-sao, the governor of Ping'an Province, and ask him to inform the Qing army of these enemy situations.

"Admiral Ye, now I can do everything I can for you, and the rest is up to you."

Li Yuying sighed and said to himself: "And Li Zhongtang, I am just three years older than you, but I have always regarded you as a role model for learning, and you must not let me down!" ”

At the same time.

Seoul, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jiaotae Palace.

Deep boudoir bedroom.

Concubine Min was wearing a thin light veil, lying on her side on the incense of the carved dragon and phoenix, the thin gauze faintly revealed her round and straight thighs, slender white pink arms, and a pair of white fleshy little feet.

On the big red mandarin duck belly pocket, a pair of trembling belly pockets almost broke the satin.

And the waist and abdomen in the lower part of the belly pocket are all large pieces of powder and greasy clotted fat, the snake waist that is not easy to grasp, and the cute flat little belly button are also looming in the tulle.

And the delicate collarbones, the slender swan-like neck, the immature and delicate face, and the full head of hair like crows can make any man crazy.

No matter how you look at it, this is a beautiful woman in her twenties, not a woman in her early forties.

Concubine Min, the white beauty goblin known as the first beauty in Korea, was using her fair and slender jade fingers to twist a green grape like a jade bead and put it in the cherry mouth.

'Po'

The snow-white jade teeth closed gently, dripping out a mouth full of sweet and sour.
