And relying on the king for reform is also a means that the Enlightenment Party is convinced of. On the other hand, the Enlightenment Party took advantage of their government positions to carry out a series of reform measures, such as the establishment of modern facilities and institutions such as the Governor's Bureau, the Police Patrol Bureau, the Liberal Arts Bureau, and the Post Office, the introduction of Western farms and advanced agricultural technology, the dispatch of foreign students to Japan, and the establishment of the Seoul Morning Newspaper to propagate the idea of Enlightenment. At the same time, the Kaihua Party also realized the importance of the armed forces. The North Korean government once sent more than 100 children of nobles to Japan to study military affairs, called "non-commissioned officer apprentices".

However, the Enlightenment Party did not think that the mother would really be "civilized", they believed that all the purpose of the mother's work was to consolidate her own power, and it was impossible to carry out real reforms. Moreover, as the power of the Kaihua Party grew, the conservative faction in the group of Min relatives, who controlled the government, also became wary of it, and the two factions quickly became inseparable.

Thinking of the current situation in North Korea, Li Tuo couldn't help but sigh.

Li Tuo is very smart, and is known as "a person with a unique memory, who has a great memory, where the dynasty chapter, the national history, the mountains and rivers, the customs defense, the money valley, the book of the first soldier, as well as the scholars and gates, the spectrum, and the years and months of the eunuchs, are listed with everything, and the experience is not bad", so although he is in the deep palace, his understanding of external affairs is far more than that of his father.

Now, he already felt the fear of the eve of the upheaval.

But there was nothing he could do.

9084 (the 10th year of the Great Qianguangxu, the 17th year of the Meiji era in Japan, the year of Jiashen in the Korean lunar calendar) December 4 (the 17th day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar). Seoul. General Post Office.

Today is the inauguration of the General Post Office. The ceremony began at 6 p.m., and now it's time for the feast.

Kim Ok-kyun's eyes calmly swept over the guests at the banquet, counting the old-fashioned ministers who came to attend the ceremony, and found that there were only 18 old-fashioned ministers who came to the banquet, most of them were inconspicuous characters, and Min Tai-ho and other important ministers were not present, but all foreign ministers except Japan had arrived, and he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Shimamura Hisa, the counselor of the Japanese embassy sitting next to him, asked Kim Ok-gyun in a whisper in Japanese.

"A lot of important people didn't come." Kim Ok-gyun replied in a low voice in Japanese. "Yuan Weiting didn't come either, I don't know if it's because the news leaked."

"Then what does Jin Jun want to do? Are you not going to act? Shimamura asked quietly.

"The arrow is on the string, no matter what happens, it can't be stopped." Jin Yujun turned his head to look at Shimamura Hisashi, "I'm just worried about whether reinforcements from a brigade promised by Takeso-kun will arrive." ”

"Please rest assured at this point, as far as I know, the reinforcements have set off under the cover of the Imperial Navy, and they will arrive at Inchon in these two days." Shimamura said, "As long as Jin Jun, you can control His Royal Highness the King of your country in these two days." Everything will be fine. ”

"I'm most worried about Yuan Weiting." Jin Yujun glanced at Chen Shutang, the minister of the Qianguo in Seoul who was sitting at the banquet, and said in a low voice. "I sent him an invitation in the name of my government, but he did not come, nor did he give any reason, probably because he had found something. The 2,000 cadres under his command are all battle-hardened soldiers, and the Zhuangwei battalion of the Beijing army is also trained by him, which is very elite, although we have 3,000 dead soldiers, as well as the righteous army and the ronin warriors of your country to help, but if you want to defeat him, I am afraid it will be very difficult. ”

"Yuan Weiting is indeed a trouble." Shimamura nodded, "But it's a good thing he didn't come today." ”

"Oh?" Jin Yujun was stunned.

"Have you forgotten? Jin Jun, no matter where Yuan Weiting goes, there will be no less than a hundred guards, if he comes today, there are so many guards, it is difficult for us to restrain him at once, and it is likely that he will fight back at that time, so he didn't come, this is the opportunity. Shimamura smiled and said, "No matter how powerful his 2,000 men are, they can't resist the attack of 5,000 people from an elite brigade of the Japanese Empire, not to mention that we still have the help of warships from the Imperial Japanese Navy, and now there are no Qianguo warships in Incheon and Seoul, so please rest assured." ”

Lin Yiqing led the fleet to Vietnam to negotiate and took away several of the most powerful warships of the Qianguo Navy, and in order to prevent the French Navy from invading the southeastern coastal areas from breaking down the negotiations, the Qianguo Navy comprehensively strengthened its precautions, and all the warships stationed in Korea and the Ryukyus were also transferred back to the mainland. Although Qianguo and France have signed a peace treaty on the Vietnam issue, and there will be no war, the original warships stationed abroad have not been sent back. Therefore, whether it is Incheon Port, Seoul or Pusan, there are no large warships stationed in Qianguo, only a few small river gunboats.

"However, the two warships donated to China by Qianguo are still in Incheon Port, and the officers and men on the ships are all trained by Qianguo people, and if they are not controlled by us, they will be very troublesome." Jin Yujun said.

The two North Korean warships mentioned by Kim Ok-gyun were two old steam carriers that were originally part of China Merchants and converted into gunboats, one "Lilong" and the other "Hanyang," which were donated to the DPRK by Qianguo, and served as the basis for the DPRK to build its own navy. Both steam gunboats had a displacement of close to 1,000 tons, were armed with five Krupp 75-mm cannons, and because they were old ships, they were very slow, with a maximum speed of only 10 knots. Still, among the North Korean sailors full of small sailboats, they are real behemoths that cannot be underestimated.

"Don't worry, Jin Jun, these two ships can only be targets in front of the Imperial Navy." Shimamura said with a smile, "This time, the Imperial Navy will dispatch the latest warships to destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

Hearing Shimamura say that the Japanese side had made preparations for the two warships that the DPRK Navy had only, Kim Yujun was a little relieved, and he turned his head to look at the clock standing in the corner of the hall and counted the time.
