"Yaga, how is that possible??" Koji Nakata scolded angrily.

"Captain, I saw it with my own eyes. The Qing army was already less than a hundred kilometers away. Inoue's brigade may have also been wiped out by the Qing army! A scout said.

"Captain, call from your own country." Said a communications soldier.

"Read." Koji Nakata held back his anger.

"Order Nakata's department to return to China immediately. Now is not the time to start a war with the Qing State, according to imperial intelligence: the Qing State has sent more than 10,000 troops to land, escorted by four gunboats. If we don't retreat, I'm afraid the sea route will be blocked. ”

Koji Nakata had suffered such a loss, and half of the wing was wiped out in the blink of an eye. There is not even a single one alive, but asking his remaining more than 2,000 people to resist the Qing State's more than 10,000 troops is equivalent to looking for death. Nakata narrowed his angry eyes and paused for a few seconds. The order to retreat was given decisively!

There was chaos in the palace of King Xian, and the news of the Japanese evacuation spread immediately.

Li Ying, the monarch of the courtyard, pulled his national defense general Cui Chenghao and said bitterly: "The Japanese are really not things, and they originally said that they would help me resist the Qing army." This Qing army has just arrived, and it is running faster than anyone else. How can this be? ”

Urging Cheng Hao to think for a moment and said calmly: "Originally, the Qing Kingdom only needed a dynasty and Xian who surrendered to them, but now the king of Chao Xian is unknown. And you have ascended the throne as king, as long as the king shows his willingness to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. I believe that Qingguo can still support you. ”

Li Ying's eyes lit up, as if he had found the backbone. The whole person is in spirit, right! After all, Japan is a small country, how can it be compared with the big country of the Celestial Empire. As long as the Qing State does not make excessive demands, it is indispensable to surrender to him.

"Yes, yes, in that case, hurry up and meet the Qing ** team." Li Ying commanded.

Dong Liang came all the way with the brigade but did not encounter any decent resistance, and at the beginning there were some sporadic Chaoxian rebels to block it. The closer you get to Seoul, the quieter it becomes. When he arrived at the gate of Seoul, he actually saw Li Ying personally bring the honor guard to welcome his troops into the city. What kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd?

"General, what does this mean? There were also attacks by the Chao Xian rebels along the way, and now they are open to greet us. Is it a trick to play with the Japanese? Mao Weimin asked.

"When the soldiers are in the city, what other tricks can they play? Leave the five battalions to garrison outside the city, and the rest follow me into the city. Dong Liang commanded.

"Wow."

"Oh, the general has worked hard all the way." Li Ying flattered Dong Liang.

"Dayuan-kun, this general is on the emperor's orders to resolve the civil strife in Chao Xian. Along the way, I saw them all. The rebels are everywhere, and they dare to use force against our army. Dong Liang said.

Li Ying looked embarrassed and looked at Cui Chenghao. Cui Chenghao hurriedly said: "What the general said is yes, King Chaoxian suddenly disappeared. The rebels were all formed by the Japanese, and they have nothing to do with us. We are only temporarily acting as the king of the dynasty, and when we find the king, we will return to him. ”

"Oh? I heard that King Asahi had been killed by the Japanese. Dayuan-kun is the uncle of King Chao Xian, so it is better to inherit the throne. However, my emperor of the Qing Dynasty has decreed that the Japanese have recently made trouble in Chao Xian one after another. I had to defend it, and I wanted Dayuanjun to give Jeju Island, which is close to Japan, to my Qing army to garrison. Dong Liang said solemnly.

Li Ying thought in his heart, didn't he conspire with the Japanese just to be able to ascend to the throne, and now that his dream has come true. What's the point of just an island? Besides, there is a Qing ** team stationed in Korea and Xian, and there is no fear of harassment by the Japanese again. At this time, I saw Cui Chenghao also nodding to himself again and again. He immediately replied: "It's still thoughtful by the Emperor of the Celestial Empire." The islands are for the use of the general's garrison army. ”

"Okay, then tomorrow I will ask the king to move to the military camp outside the city to sign a contract. The emperor's edict will also be handed over to the king tomorrow. Dong Liang still looked serious.

"Okay, yes, come on. Send the general to rest. Li Ying's face was full of spring breeze. There was no tension or anxiety when the Qing soldiers approached the city.

At noon tomorrow, I finally saw Li Ying and a few personal soldiers, and entered the Qing army camp in high spirits.

Dong Liang stepped forward to greet him with a smile when he saw it, and after the two of them met, they exchanged a few words. Li Ying, who thought he was about to ascend the throne, was a little more arrogant.

Dong Liang welcomed Li Ying and his own soldiers into the barracks together, but Li Ying's guards couldn't imagine that they were entering the ghost gate! When they were still elated, they were taken down by the Qing army in ambush in the tent, and a few who resisted a little were immediately beheaded.

Li Ying suddenly realized at this time that Qingguo was still unwilling to let go of himself after all. Damn Cui Chenghao, killed me.

Immediately, Dong Liang ordered the Qing army to enter the city in four ways and kill Li Ying's rebels and Cui Chenghao and others. These rebels were unprepared, and Cui Chenghao was even more busy with the enthronement ceremony later, and he didn't know what happened until he died! In just one afternoon, the rebels were wiped out.

A few days later, Fan Tianhao personally escorted King Xian back to Seoul, and escorted Li Ying back to China, waiting for the emperor's fate. However, Jeju Island was eventually left to the Qing army as a garrison.

The good news was sent to the capital, and Guan Xuqing was quite satisfied after reading it. Immediately ordered that the two battalions of Wu Ping's troops continue to garrison Seoul. Help King Xian reorganize his troops. As for Jeju Island, four battalions were left by Dong Liang's division to contain Japan.

Japan's snooping on the DPRK and Xian has not been a day or two, but Guan Xuqing knows that now is not the time to go to war with the Japanese. Now the important thing is that the French have begun to assemble in Cambodia, and it is believed that they will attack China after October, as they have done in history.

After Dong Liang left behind the four battalions of men, he immediately returned to China......

Taihe Palace, in the early dynasty, Guan Xuqing increased the number of troops to the court. Dong Liangbu's performance was quite satisfactory, although it was only one encounter and two ambushes. However, the combat effectiveness displayed by the new army convinced the Manchu civil and military forces. Several princes and ministers who had raised objections to the reduction of troops and the reorganization of the army at the beginning were also silent.

Guan Xuqing rewarded those who had meritorious service, especially Liu San, who won the first battle, and vigorously promoted him. At present, he became the commander of the four battalions of Jeju Island.
