Tang Shaoyi immediately realized that the inauguration ceremony of the General Post Office was a trap, and he immediately made a decision and said to American Minister Ford and British Consul General Aston in fluent English, "We don't have to go anywhere, just wait for the martial arts general to lead his troops, and he will be there in ten minutes."

Kim Ok-gyun didn't want to turn this coup d'état into an international event, let alone offend the minister representatives of Britain and the United States, plus he had already killed Min Yongyi, and the goal of creating chaos had been achieved, so he hurriedly rushed to Gyeongbokgung Palace with Hong Young-sik, Park Yong-hyo and others to carry out the next plan.

As soon as Kim Yujun and the three of them arrived at the Xieyang Gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the city gate saw that they were wearing North Korean official uniforms, and politely stopped them: "Three adults, you must wear a grand dress when entering the palace." ”

Only then did the three of them remember the "rules" that hundreds of officials must wear ceremonial dresses when entering Gyeongbokgung Palace. Park Yongxiao was in a hurry and shouted at these guards: "Blind your dog's eyes, I am the captain of the horse Jinling, you don't know each other?" The Qing army is about to enter the palace, and you are still so nitpicky, if we delay entering the palace to see the emperor, we will be beheaded later. ”

At this time, a military supervisor of the Imperial Forest Army came over, who happened to know Park Yongxiao, and let them into the palace. The three of them entered the palace, ordered someone to detonate the explosives buried in the Tongming Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace in advance, and then hurried straight to Li Xi's dormitory, because Li Xi and Concubine Min had a habit: sleep during the day and work at night.

Yin Jingwan, the captain of the king's guard team, was a ghost lurking in the palace of the Enlightenment Party, and when he saw the three of them, he hurriedly asked the guards to let them in, and Jin Yujun asked him to wait outside.

Li Xi and Concubine Min were sleeping in their arms, they were woken up by a huge explosion, and they were about to order someone to go out to see what was going on, Jin Yujun and the three of them broke into the palace and reported: "The Qing soldiers are in turmoil, and Min Yongyi has been killed at the inauguration ceremony of the General Post Office. ”

Concubine Min knew that Min Yongyi had always had a good relationship with Song Xiaofei, how could she be killed by the Qing army for no reason, so she was suspicious, so she asked Jin Yujun: "Can you see clearly?" Did the Qing soldiers do it? ”

The three of them said in unison, it is indeed a rebellion of the Qing army, and they have now attacked the palace to destroy our Li Dynasty. When Li Xi heard this, he was so frightened that the six gods had no master, Yin Jingwan also brought a team of imperial forest troops into the palace at this time, and lied that the Qing army had begun to attack the palace.

Jin Yujun was overjoyed, took the rice paper on which he was written, and ordered Yin Jingwan to send it to the legation. As soon as Yin Jingwan left the palace gate with his front foot, he said that the envoy Takezoe Jinichiro arrived with 300 soldiers and entered the palace immediately.

Concubine Min saw that the soldiers came so quickly and felt that something was wrong, so she used the excuse of going to the toilet and slipped out of the palace through the back door. Concubine Min ran to the camp of the Qing army in one breath, saw Song Xiaofei, and told what happened in the palace.

When Li Hongzhang sent a German adviser to the DPRK, Mu Linde, heard about it and said: I do not agree, this matter is not trivial, and it is not good that the DPRK military and people really think that we are going to destroy the DPRK, but on the contrary, they will tell the truth to the Kaihua Party and the DPRK itself, and the bombardment of the DPRK embassy in the DPRK is a serious violation of public international law.

Song Xiaofei interrupted Mu Linde's words: "Don't say it, what General Ben said just now is an order, not to discuss with you." I know me too well, if we endure for a while, they will have to inch in, and if we take a step back, they will become even worse! In the first place, I should not have been soft on the Enlightenment Party and myself. ”

Song Xiaofei ordered Wu Zhaoyou to bring 1,000 Huai troops and 1,000 new Korean troops with heavy artillery to besiege the embassy, and personally brought 500 Huai troops to the Korean palace.

As soon as Song Xiaofei rode a yellow horse and led the army to the Xieyang Gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Kim Yun-sik stumbled and ran to hug his horse's legs, crying: "General, the rebel party rebelled, and falsely passed on the king's decree, summoned Min Yongmu, the governor of coastal defense, Zhao Ningxia, the governor of the central government, and Min Taiho to discuss matters at Gyeongwoo Palace, and took the opportunity to send assassins to kill them one by one at the palace gate. I found out that there were soldiers in the palace, but I didn't dare to enter the palace, so I picked up an old life, and asked the general to immediately exterminate the rebellious party. ”

Song Xiaofei heard this, his eyes widened angrily, this Jin Yujun and Zhu Tian Jinichiro were too ruthless, and immediately ordered the Huai army to enter the palace, because the king was still in the palace, and there were princesses, eunuchs, and palace maids in the palace, so they could not attack with heavy artillery, so Song Xiaofei had to let the rifle soldiers and smoothbore spearmen attack.

As soon as the Qing soldiers approached, the soldiers opened fire, Song Xiaofei shouted, decisively ordered to return fire, and took the lead, holding an eight-shot black-shelled Mauser gun, "bang bang bang" three shots, and killed the two soldiers who were hiding in the gatehouse to aim and shoot, they were shot in the chest and fell off the gatehouse.

Song Xiaofei ordered the horn of the attack to be sounded, and the 500 Huai Army and the 300 Yue Army launched a fierce battle. Later, Concubine Min and Kim Yoon-sik also transferred 3,000 Imperial Forest troops to help.

Takezoe Jinichiro counterattacked with well-trained soldiers, the two sides were fighting, and suddenly there was a rumbling thunderous cannon sound in the north of Seoul, Takezoe heard it, by the way, it was from the direction of the embassy, and immediately realized that the embassy was also fiercely attacked by the Qing army, this Song Xiaofei was really "Yaga Yalu", without scruples, and there was no ambiguity in the war, "If this person is not removed, there will be no future in Asia."

When he saw that his lair was ended, he had no intention of fighting again, and gradually became at a disadvantage. Most of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace were loyal to the king, and when they saw the Qing army entering the palace, they immediately turned against the water and fought with the Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the orders of the Enlightenment Party, and Hong Young-sik and Park Yong-hyo's eldest brother Park Yong-kyo were chopped into meat by North Korean soldiers on the spot. Seeing that the general situation was gone, Kim Ok-kyun and Park Yong-hyo followed Takezoe Shinichiro and four or five soldiers dressed as North Korean soldiers, and fled back to Saiben in embarrassment.

Song Xiaofei looked at the raging fire of the embassy, and became more and more worried about the crazy actions of the soldiers, he strongly realized that he had to seize the time to train the new army, and asked Li Hongzhang to train the Beiyang naval division, and start a war with the Beiyang naval division before the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Takezoe Shinichiro fled back to China, reported to the political axe, reversed black and white, said that the Qing army first provoked the incident, encircled and suppressed the Enlightenment Party, burned the mansion of the Qing Dynasty, the four-star suggested a war against the Qing Dynasty, and the five-star suggested sending assassins to assassinate Song Xiaofei, "Otherwise, there will be no future in Asia."

Ito Hirobumi, who was about to become the prime minister, was still sober-minded at that time, knowing that Li Hongzhang's status in the Qing court at that time was like Zhongtian, and that he did not have enough strength to start a war with China, so he decided to solve it diplomatically and personally led a team to Yanjing to have a good talk with Li Hongzhang. As for the assassination of Song Xiaofei, it is feasible! Send the most powerful ninjas and samurai in this book to do it, even if you chase him to the ends of the earth and assassinate him!

Song Xiaofei put down the Korean rebellion again, Concubine Min didn't know how to thank Song Xiaofei, and later, Kim Yun-sik suggested that Song Xiaofei didn't bring his family to Seoul, so it was better to marry the Korean princess to him, and then choose two stunning beauties in the country to serve him together, Concubine Min felt that this idea was good, so she ordered it to be done.

After Song Xiaofei quelled the rebellion in Korea, he arranged the garrison and wrote a long letter to Li Hongzhang, detailing the coup d'état that took place in North Korea, and then hurried to Shanghai to meet Sheng Xuanhuai and Zhang Jian, who collected the black materials of Hu Xueyan, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, and sent someone to send them to Song Xiaofei. When Song Xiaofei saw it, his eyes fell to the ground, completely subverting the image of Hu Xueyan as a "good man" and "big businessman" in history, Song Xiaofei felt that it was time to make a move!;
