The North Korean knife hand covered the wound of the broken wrist and screamed in pain. The long knife lost control, flipped in the air, and slapped the figure's left shoulder, the man's body was deflected, and he almost fell to the ground, but he endured the pain and turned the knife, and swung it diagonally from the bottom to the top to the soft place under the jaw of the Korean knife hand, and the Korean knife hand fell suddenly.

The long knife fell heavily in front of the visitor and Concubine Min, jumped twice on the ground, and rolled into the pool of blood of its master.

"Your Royal Highness, are you alright?" The man gasped.

Concubine Min shuddered and opened her eyes, full of tears that had fallen at some point. Feng Guozhang dragged his weak left shoulder, and stood in front of him with a knife, his young face covered with blood.

Even though she was too trembling to speak, Concubine Min still nodded to Feng Guozhang reluctantly.

There was a drop of blood hanging from the tip of the knife, and the moment Feng Guozhang's saber was raised, the blood dropped onto Concubine Min's face, and she jumped in shock.

In the distance, drums rang out, and with the sound of drums, fine ripples appeared on the water. Through the flying sparks and rain lines, between the pavilions and pavilions, hundreds of torches can be faintly seen reflected in the water, winding towards this direction. Soon, they will be discovered.

"Husband...... Child......"

Concubine Min didn't understand why everyone around her had left her, and muttered, stretching out a hand to look around, as if looking for something. I couldn't find it, and I went to the ground again, but I felt cold blood on my hands. She froze, and it took a moment for her to wake up and let out an incredibly sharp scream.

The shouts pierced the scarlet rain curtain as if to announce the true beginning of the night's chaos.

The flames were in flames. In all directions of the royal city, there were roaring and noisy human voices. The roar of the drums suddenly tightened and approached them at an alarming speed. The small river under the water pavilion rippled in layers of thin waves, beating the shore rocks, as if the earth was shaken.

Feng Guozhang looked at the place where the firelight came from in shock. It feels familiar. It is not uncommon to encounter them in the streets near the port, but this time, it is unbelievably violent. He unconsciously took a step back.

The drums were approaching, mingled with the sound of metal slapping, as if many cymbals were following them. Dust and sawdust fell between the beams and columns, as if the entire water pavilion had been shaken and jumped. Then the purlins, tenons, eaves and tiles fell down one by one, and re-stacked into the original shape. The vibration under the feet drilled straight up along the bone marrow, and the thin waves under the water pavilion became more and more frequent, and everyone involuntarily clenched the knife in their hands.

Most of the bridges leading to the water pavilion had collapsed or burned down, and the North Korean soldiers simply lifted Songmyung above their heads, jumped down the river, waded in the water, and shouted loudly. A river of blazing orange flames illuminated everything around it.

Seeing thousands of Korean rebels attacking. Feng Guozhang knew that he was only afraid of dying here today, and he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

At this moment, on the opposite side of the small river, a red light suddenly flashed, and with the sound of a cannon, a ball of fire suddenly burst out in the ranks of the Korean rebels, and several people were blown up and flew up.

The soldiers of the Korean rebels immediately realized that this was the result of artillery bombardment, and immediately retreated like a tidal wave.

Strange changes steepened. Without waiting for Feng Guozhang and the cadres and soldiers to come to their senses, they were behind them. Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire, and a dense stream of bullets came in, sweeping away the Korean rebels in front of them.

Feng Guozhang understood that this was the arrival of reinforcements, and his heart was relieved, and he felt dizzy.

Shells flew one after another, exploding one after another in the ranks of the rebels. The rebel army simply could not withstand such a terrible blow, and instantly collapsed and began to flee in all directions.

Suddenly, the shelling stopped, and everything stood still. There was a roar of the footsteps of thousands of horses and the shouts of the tide. All of them disappeared in an instant, and if it weren't for the flames burning everywhere, it would almost make people suspect that they were deaf. The tide gradually subsided, but it never receded.

In an instant, all around were heavily armed cadre soldiers, all of whom held rifles in their hands, and the bayonets on their rifles glittered terrifyingly in the light of the fire.

"The commander of Daqian Yuan is here! If you don't get caught yet, when? Someone yelled loudly.

The besieged rebel soldiers were all full of horror, and one of the leaders gritted his teeth, and just shouted "Big guy, kill ...... out", when a "bang" gunshot, a bullet hit him in the head, and he immediately fell to the ground and rolled into the river.

Seeing this scene, several rebellious soldiers beside him immediately threw away the swords and spears in their hands and knelt down.

Infected by them, the North Korean soldiers threw down their weapons one after another, and for a time there was the sound of swords, spears, bows and arrows clashing on the ground.

Feng Guozhang, who had lost his strength, could no longer support it, and sat down with a knife on the ground, when he saw Yuan Weiting walking over surrounded by a group of cadres and soldiers.

"How are you? You okay? Yuan Weiting saw Feng Guozhang, whose face was covered with blood, and his face showed concern.

"Undermarked...... It's okay! Feng Guozhang struggled to stand up again, saluted Yuan Weiting, and pointed to Concubine Min, who was in shock not far behind him, "This is Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Yuan Weiting glanced at Concubine Min, nodded, and did not talk to her, but separated everyone and came to those Korean rebels.

In the firelight, looking at the faces, frustrated, frightened and uneasy, Yuan Weiting frowned. And when he noticed that many of the rebels were wearing civilian clothes, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The government of Erguo has paid you the rice in arrears, and the Celestial Empire has made up for it on several generations, and has allocated grain and rice to help you and others, why do you still want to make trouble?" Yuan Weiting asked sharply.

"If the demon concubine of the Min clan doesn't die, I won't have a way to live!" Someone in the chaos shouted.

Hearing this, Concubine Min hung her head, her body seemed to be stabbed by something, and she began to tremble again.

"The demon concubine is back, and she will definitely take revenge on us! Instead of letting her die, kill her first! ”

"That's right! If we don't kill him, we'll all die! ”

"Kill the demon concubine!"

"Kill the Demon Princess!"

Yuan Weiting sighed, did not speak, but retreated into the formation and walked towards Concubine Min.

Yuan Weiting came to Concubine Min. Concubine Min, who was trembling all over, felt Yuan Weiting's gaze fall on her, and slowly raised her head, her eyes full of despair.

"Did Her Royal Highness the Princess hear me?" Yuan Weiting sighed, "If the people's grievances are boiling like this, what can I do about it? ”

"Are you going to hand me over to them?" Concubine Min asked in a hoarse voice.

"What does Her Royal Highness want me to do?" Yuan Weiting asked quietly.

"If I must die today, I will die to appease the anger of the people. Just begging Yuan to reward me with a gun and bullet, give me a happy death, if you can keep me a whole corpse, return to my hometown, I will be under the nine springs, and I will be the leader of Yongming Yuan. Concubine Min said, crying again.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, I came to the country on the order of the Son of Heaven to relieve the people from hanging upside down. The country is safe. Whoever commits rebellion shall be killed to correct the law of the land. Yuan Weiting turned his head to look at the North Korean soldiers and civilians who were surrounded and wanted to take Concubine Min's life, and sighed, "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the princess not to forget her words today." ”

Yuan Weiting said, waving his hand, Feng Guozhang saw four cadres and soldiers in a group, pushing one Gatling gun after another slowly marching forward. immediately understood what Yuan Weiting was going to do, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

A total of six Gatling guns were pushed forward. After the machine gunners set up their guns, they quickly loaded the cartridges and completed the preparation for firing. Seeing the Gatling gun coming forward, the cadres and infantry dodged out of the way, and the North Korean soldiers and civilians obviously didn't know what it was, after seeing the Gatling gun pointed at them. There was a blank look on his face, not understanding what was going to happen.

The officer commanding the machine gun team signaled to Yuan Weiting that everything was ready, and Yuan Weiting waved his hand and shouted: "Raise your gun!" ”

All the cadres and infantry raised their rifles and aimed them at the crowd.

Only then did the Korean military and civilians understand what the cadres were going to do to them. Several people who reacted quickly leaned over to pick up the knives and spears thrown on the ground, and at this moment, Yuan Weiting pulled out the revolver on his waist and aimed it at the crowd.

"Fire!" Yuan Weiting's eyes flashed with hideousness, and he ordered loudly.

The rifles and Gatling guns in the hands of the soldiers opened fire at the same time, and the bullets swept over like a storm, and the North Korean soldiers and civilians fell in pieces, and for a time there were screams and wails one after another.

Concubine Min let out a terrible cry as she looked at the hellish sight, but was immediately drowned out by the sound of gunfire and the screams of the people.

I don't know how long it was, but everything was silent again.

In the river in front of the water pavilion, the piles of corpses were as high as bluestone steps. The water pavilion shook slightly, and in the river water around the piled corpses, the ochre-colored trickle quickly spread into a large bright red, and turned up from the bottom of the water. The original red-brown stone slab gradually washed out a pale blue luster, and the original mottled red and black colors turned out to be dry blood.

How many people's blood does it take to soak the red of the earth?

Yuan Weiting looked at the river that had been blocked by the corpse, turned around and strode away, at this time, the sky was scarlet, and it hung down towards the royal city, and there was a thick blood and qi flowing slowly in the night wind. The rain beat against the purlins of the king's city walls, stirring up a lukewarm scorching smoke, and the eyes were full of desolation. The corpse swirled on the water, and the white, dead hand gently slammed against the stone foundation of the palace.

North Korea's "Li Chao Record" contains: "On the third day of July, the rebels entered the royal city at night, wanting to kill Ming Cheng, and the mob followed, and the momentum was great, the royal city was broken, the Min clan was wiped out, and more than 100 palaces were destroyed. Shi Mingcheng became a policeman, hugged the jade seal, and went barefoot to the Bentian Army for help, only to be spared. ”

The next day, Changdeokgung Palace.

King Yi Hee of Joseon sat on the throne with Concubine Min sitting next to her, and unlike before, Concubine Min sat at the bottom this time, not alongside Yi Hee.

Today's Concubine Min, although she is neatly dressed in court clothes and has returned to her former majesty, her look is very different from the past.

At this moment, she looked extremely nervous in the face of the Korean monarchs and ministers.

Kim Yoon-sik and Yu Yoon-jung glanced at each other quickly, of course they understood why Concubine Min behaved like this.

Sitting opposite her was Li Xi's father, Li Shiying, the king of the Xingxuan compound.

And sitting below the monarch of the courtyard are Li Tuo, the son of the king, and Li Shan, the king of the world, who has "come back to life"!

"General Yuan has arrived!" The inner supervisor sang loudly.

As soon as they heard this, the family of the king of Joseon, who had been seated, all stood up.

There was a sonorous sound of footsteps at the door of the main hall, and under the escort of twenty heavily armed cadre soldiers, Yuan Weiting, dressed in military uniforms and swords, strode in.

Seeing Yuan Weiting come in, the Korean monarchs and ministers all stood solemnly and saluted him.

Yuan Weiting did not have the slightest look of arrogance on his face. Instead, he clasped his hands into fists, returned the salute, and walked to the front of the stairs.

"General Yuan, please take a seat." King Yi Xi of Joseon left his throne and walked quickly to Yuan Weiting's side. He took his hand and led him to a wooden chair that had been prepared and invited him to sit down.

"Your Highness." Yuan Weiting smiled, stretched out his hand to invite Li Xi to take a seat, and then sat down.

"There was a drastic change in the palace last night, thanks to General Yuan's timely arrival with troops, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable." Li Xi sighed and said to Yuan Weiting again. "General Yuan is very gracious, and my country is grateful for the five things."
