Seeing Jin Yujun's movements, Shimamura was taken aback, and immediately glanced at Jin Yujun, but Jin Yujun was unmoved, he was about to come to Min Yongyi, who had already lost blood and was in a coma, but saw the American doctor Horace who came with Chen Shutang, the minister of Qianguo? Allen rushed over, and shouted something loudly in English while helping Min Yongyi.

Hearing the shouts of the American doctor, a German named Molendorf (also an attaché of the Qianguo Legation) also rushed over and rescued Min Yongyi with the Americans.

"Don't do that, Jin-kun. There are foreigners here, and if you do that, it will be spread out, and it will have a very negative impact. Shimamura whispered in Japanese in Kim Ok-kyun's ear, "You have more important things to do now." ”

Kim Ok-gyun woke up suddenly, he looked at the nobles who were clumsily going through the window, turned his head and nodded to Hong Young-sik, and hurried out of the hall with Park Yong-hyo, Seo Kwang-bum and others.

Seeing Jin Yujun and the others leave, a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of Shimamura Hisa's mouth.

Jin Yujun and other people with lofty ideals of the Enlightenment Party left the General Post Office, and happened to encounter the "Loyal Army" led by Li Yinzhong, Li Dongjie, and Xu Zaibi and the Japanese ronin assassins.

"Did you kill Han Yin's two thieves?" Jin Yujun asked.

Li Yinzhong and the others looked ashamed and shook their heads. Jin Yujun's heart was on fire, and he was about to reprimand, but he heard Li Dongjie say: "Han Yin's two thieves must have returned to the camp to transfer troops, and they may go to the palace to meet the main hall, and we can ambush again there, kill the two thieves, and kill the Li thief on duty (referring to Li Zuyuan, the left battalion envoy of the Beijing Army's Zhuangwei Battalion who is on duty in the palace), then the big thing can be done." ”

Li Dongjie's suggestion is exactly what Yujun wants. Jin Yujun did not reprimand Li Yinzhong and the others again, but directly led everyone to the direction of the palace.

In the palace, Li Tuo, who went to bed early, had already woken up to the sound of explosions in Seoul.

He knew that the day had finally come.

He summoned the palace maid and the attendant to inquire, and everyone looked panicked, not knowing what had happened. Li Tuo didn't ask again, but asked everyone to serve him to change his clothes.

The palace maids and eunuchs did not understand why the prince changed his clothes at this time of night, but they did not ask much, but obeyed the order to change his clothes.

As soon as Li Tuo changed his clothes, Concubine Min hurriedly walked in with someone.

"Tuo'er, hurry! Come with me to Changdeokgung Palace! When Concubine Min saw Li Tuo, she stepped forward to hold her son's hand without saying anything, and Hong Qixun and other guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded their mother and son in the middle.

Li Tuo was extremely frightened in his heart. couldn't help but hold her mother's hand tightly, and there were tremors on her mother's hand, obviously her mother's heart was also full of fear, but at this moment she seemed extremely calm on the surface.

When the group arrived at Changde Palace, Li Tuo saw that the hall was full of people, not only the courtiers, but also Concubine Zhao and other members of the royal family, and everyone's faces were full of panic.

"What the hell is going on?" Father Li Xi's voice roared in the hall.

All the courtiers looked terrified. No one answered.

Another explosion came, and Li Xi trembled on the throne in fright. Some of the concubines were already screaming.

"What's that sound?" Li Xi asked tremblingly.

"Your Majesty! It was the cadres who made a rebellion and bombarded our people! A man shouted as he rushed into the main hall.

Li Tuo looked closely, and the person who came was Hu Cao's judge Jin Yujun.

"What? Rebellion? Li Xi was shocked when he heard the report.

"Your Majesty, it is the cadres who are causing the rebellion!" Jin Yujun said with a look of anger on his face, "The cadres not only bombarded my people's houses, but also destroyed my king's palace and the General Post Office!" Many people have died! ”

"Yes...... Cadre Army...... Why? Li Xi's face was in disbelief.

"The profiteers of the Qianguo country have always oppressed our officials and people. Rampant lawlessness, the people have long complained, this time it should provoke our people to resist, so they take the opportunity to do a great rebellion! Jin Yujun knew that the king might ask such a question, and he had already thought of what he said. I recited it many times, so that I answered fluently without the slightest hesitation.

Listening to Jin Yujun's answer, Li Xi's face became gloomy.

The contradiction between the cadres and the DPRK officials and the people mentioned by Kim Ok-gyun is not groundless.

After the establishment of diplomatic relations with Western countries, in order to bring the traditional suzerain-vassal relations between the Qianguo and the DPRK into the orbit of international law, the Qianguo and the DPRK also signed the "Regulations on Land and Water Trade between the Merchants and the People of the DPRK," which enabled the Qianguo to obtain a series of privileges in the DPRK, such as consular jurisdiction and concession rights. At that time, a North Korean pharmacy owner named Choe Seo-young was shot dead, and the murderer was dressed in a cadre military uniform, and the "Seoul Xun Pao," written by the Japanese Inoue Kakugoro (a supporter of the Kaihua Party), reported and exaggerated the incident, arousing the anti-cadre sentiment of the North Korean people.

Lee Beom-jin was born in two classes of nobles, and was a distant branch of the Joseon royal family, and was the 17th grandson of Gwangpyeong Maharaja Yi Yu, the son of Sejong of Joseon. His father was Li Jingxia, who was an important confidant of Xingxuan Dayuanjun and was famous for "Luodong Yanluo". Li Fan Jin is the son of Li Jingxia and the girl who played with the girl when he served as the right military envoy of Gyeongsang in Jinju, so he was named Fan Jin. Li Fanjin was raised by his mother-in-law Zhao since he was a child, so although Li Fanjin was a concubine, he still enjoyed the treatment of his sister-in-law, got a mansion, and participated in the imperial examination, won the examination year of the Liberal Arts Section C and the first, and was awarded the position of the Commander of the Academy.

In April this year, Qianguo businessmen wanted to sign a real estate contract with Li Fanjin and his younger brothers Li Fanzu and Li Fanda, and sell the three real estate properties in Luodong, Seoul, to overseas Chinese to build the "Central Plains Association." Li Fanjin's attitude towards this matter was capricious, and the Chinese businessmen only signed contracts with Li Fanzu and Li Fanda. The houses of the three brothers of Li Fan Jin are connected to the north and south, among which Li Fan Jin's house is in the middle, and there is a public road in his house for the two families of Li Fan Da and Li Fan Zu in the north and south courtyards. However, on May 28, when Li Fanda and Li Fanzu vacated and handed over the property, Li Fanjin "did not abide by the deed, bullied and oppressed, and arbitrarily ordered the domestic slaves to close the gate of the north and south courtyards with iron nails and long boards, and cut off the road between them." Chinese businessman Dong Xiong Tinghan went to persuade him, but Li Fanjin "spoke disrespectfully and insulted at will". Li Fanjin's unprovoked obstruction made the Chinese businessmen very annoyed, and Xiong Tinghan was furious, and led more than 30 overseas Chinese to "tear his clothes and beat him countless times". He was kidnapped and sent to the Qianguo Commercial Office, where he was threatened and forced to hand over the public road in his house so that land could travel between the north and the south. During the trial of Li Fanjin at the Qianguo Commercial Office, the North Korean government's criminal officials were also forced to go to the trial. According to Korean law, the crime of a courtier could not be punished without authorization, and it could only be carried out with the consent of the king. The DPRK officials explained this regulation to the Qianguo side, but who knew that the Qianguo official Liu Jiacong wrote the words "Tribunal of the Son of Heaven" in a big book, and the DPRK officials were intimidated by obscenity and could only submit to the trial. This incident caused a stir in Seoul. Since the occurrence of this case, "no one can protect himself", Jin Yujun said angrily at that time: "Those who twist the husband are also businessmen, and those who listen to the judgment are also commercial commissioners, and the officials of our state (DPRK) have no right to govern the people. The DPRK Commander-in-Chief's Yamen for Trade and Trade Affairs also pointed out that the Qian's move violated the relevant provisions of the second paragraph of the "Regulations on Land and Water Trade between the Merchants and Residents of the DPRK" concluded with the DPRK, and demanded the release of Ri Bean Jin. In this case. Chen Shutang, the envoy of the Qianguo to North Korea, had to come forward to apologize and release Li Fanjin. Li Fanjin was also removed from his official position. At the instigation of Li Fanjin, Xiong Tinghan was also secretly beaten by the North Koreans. This made the military and people of the cadres in the DPRK very angry, and the anti-cadres sentiment in the DPRK grew even more. After the case of Yi Beom-jin, there have been rumors among the North Korean people that the Qianguo troops stationed in Seoul will retaliate. Today, the rumors have been "confirmed" in the mouth of Kim Ok-kyun.

Hearing Jin Yujun say that it was a rebellion, Concubine Min's face also changed, but she didn't believe Jin Yujun's words very much. She was about to send the eunuch Liu Zaixian, the chief eunuch of the palace, to take someone to check the details, but Jin Yujun asked loudly: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical, please move to Jingyou Palace immediately!" Gather the generals to escort you! ”

Hearing Jin Yujun's suggestion, Concubine Min couldn't help frowning.

"What are you doing in Gyeongwoo Palace?" She snapped. "Can't you gather troops here?"

Jin Yujun was stunned by her question, but he immediately replied: "The middle hall, the terrain of Jingyou Palace is easy to defend, and it is ...... safer than here."

"Let's figure out what's going on!" At this time, Concubine Min still didn't believe what Jin Yujun said about the rebellion of the cadres, she ordered Yoo Jae-hyun to take people out to check, Yoo Jae-hyun was about to go out in response, and the attendant came to report, saying that Li Zuyuan, Han Gyuji and Yin Tae-jun The three battalion envoys arrived with troops.

Hearing the arrival of the three camp envoys, Jin Yujun's heart couldn't help but chuckle.

There are only more than 500 subordinates of the Loyal and Righteous Army he brought just now, and the three battalion envoys are afraid that they will bring all the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Army Zhuangwei Battalion, in that case, things will not be easy to handle.

"The three Aiqing came just in time! Is the army in turmoil outside? When Li Xi saw the arrival of the three battalion envoys, he calmed down and immediately asked.

As soon as Li Xi's words fell, a loud bang suddenly sounded outside the main hall.

Li Tuo only felt a shock under his feet, and then there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and a gold star appeared in front of him, he was unsteady on his feet, and suddenly fell to the floor.

In a trance, he saw his mother bent down and protected him, and screamed......

Li Xi was also shocked from the throne and fell to the ground, and the eunuch Yoo Jae-hyun hurriedly pounced on him and helped him.

Li Xi easily stood up and looked out of the hall, only to see a palace burning.

Jin Yujun was also taken aback by the earth-shattering explosion just now, but he was not panicked in his heart, because he knew what the explosion was about.

The explosion just now should have been caused by the female members of the Loyal and Righteous Army he developed, Li Yushi, the palace maid known as "Sister-in-law Gu" in the palace, and her companions.

In order to create the necessary panic, Kim Ok-kyun secretly brought explosives into the palace beforehand, told them to find a place to bury them, and set them on fire tonight to blow up a palace so that the royal family could be frightened and agree to move to Gyeongwoo Palace, which was easy to defend. Now it seems that the palace maids have been very successful in their actions, much stronger than the male members of the Loyal Army, but the fly in the ointment is that they use too much explosives......

"Your Majesty! This is the cadres firing at the palace! The minister implored the king to move immediately and go to Jingyou Palace to take refuge! Jingyou Palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the ministers are willing to protect His Majesty's safety with death! Jin Yujun shouted loudly.

Probably frightened by the explosion just now, Li Xi immediately agreed, and Concubine Min and the three newly arrived envoys did not object, so the members of the Joseon royal family, including the king and the princess, the princess, and the prince, rushed to Gyeongwoo Palace together with all the courtiers and palace maids.

Not much. This large group of people rushed to Jingyou Palace.

Gyeongwoo Palace is an ancestral hall dedicated to the pure ancestor of the Joseon Yi Dynasty, one of the "Seven Great Palaces" in Seoul, and although it is easy to guard, it is not spacious, because there are too many people who came this time. Gyeongwoo Palace was immediately filled with people from the inside out, and it seemed extremely crowded and chaotic.

Li Xi was frightened, her eyes involuntarily looked for his wife and son, Concubine Min noticed Li Xi's expression, and immediately pulled Li Tuo to his side.

The explosion just now did give Concubine Min a great fright, but after arriving at Jingyou Palace, she had regained her previous composure.

Sharp, she had noticed the oddity of things.

If the explosion just now was caused by a cannonball fired into the palace by the cannons of the Qianjun, she recalled the scene just now, before the explosion. She didn't hear the whistling of the cannonballs breaking through the air!

She had never seen a battle formation, and she had no military knowledge, but after experiencing the life-and-death difficulties of the "Renwu Rebellion" and having seen Yuan Weiting's cadres and Western artillery to destroy the chaotic soldiers, she knew very well what kind of situation the shells were firing and exploding.

And except for the explosion just now, such a large group of people did not hear the explosion again on the way to Jingyou Palace!

If it was the cadres who were firing artillery, they would never think it. A single shot will kill so many people, including the king and himself, right?

Concubine Min was about to remind her husband, but she saw Jin Yujun line up and everyone stepped forward. He said loudly to King Li Xi: "Your Majesty, the soldiers brought by the ministers are insufficient, and if the cadres come to attack in a large group, it will be difficult to resist the enemy. ”

Hearing that Jin Yujun asked Li Xi to give an order, the Japanese army came to escort him. Concubine Min's brows furrowed suddenly.

She was about to reprimand, but she saw Li Dongjie, Xu Zaibi and others behind Jin Yujun looking at her one by one with unkind faces, and she was afraid in her heart, so she didn't say the words of reprimand.

"There are only 200 Japanese soldiers guarding the embassy in Seoul, so I'm afraid that we won't be able to divide our troops over, right?" Li Xi asked.

As a somewhat cowardly king. In fact, he was not confused in his heart, after the Renwu Mutiny, Qianguo instructed Korea and Japan to sign a treaty, limiting the number of Japanese troops stationed in the Seoul Guard Legation to 200 and not being equipped with machine guns and artillery. If it is really a rebellion by the cadres, it is still difficult for the Japanese to protect themselves with such a small number of troops, how can they still have the strength to defend the Korean palace?

After listening to Li Xi's question, Jin Yujun was speechless for a while.

Of course, he knew in his heart that the number of Japanese troops in Seoul was far more than 200 men, and that there was a large brigade on the way, and that the port of Inchon would soon be reached, but he could not explain the truth to the king at this time.

"The Zhuangwei battalion has arrived, the three battalion envoys are here, the strength is enough, there is no need to invite foreign soldiers to come and disturb them." Seeing that Jin Yujun was speechless, Concubine Min immediately said, "The most important thing now is to find out what the situation is outside, whether it is a rebellion by the cadres and the army, if not, it may not be the blessing of North Korea to offend the country in this way." ”

Hearing Concubine Min say that she wanted to find out whether the situation was really a rebellion by the army, Jin Yujun was so anxious that cold sweat trickled down her forehead, but she couldn't object to Concubine Min's proposal.

"Han Aiqing, Yin Aiqing, you are from outside, but you can see clearly, is it the cadres who are making trouble?" Li Xi asked the two camp envoys, Han Gyuji and Yoon Taejun.

At this time, Han Guiji and Yin Taijun and Li Zuyuan have been whispering there, hearing the king's inquiry, Han Guiji and Yin Taijun glanced at each other, and immediately stepped forward to answer: "Back to the king, today's General Post Office was completed, and the ministers went to participate in the banquet with the Min camp envoy, and suddenly there was an explosion outside, and the fire broke out instantly, and the ministers and other military positions were located, so they went to fight the fire with the Min camp envoy, but they were suddenly attacked by gangsters on the way, and the Min camp envoy was stabbed several times, and ran back to the post office in panic to report the news. He returned to the camp to gather soldiers and horses to come to the palace to meet the Li battalion envoy to escort him, but along the way, he did not meet the soldiers and soldiers. It is difficult to determine whether the villains who attacked the ministers were dressed in the clothes of our people, and whether they were dry people or not......"

Han Guiji said, turning his head and glancing at Jin Yujun, "It's just a knife used by the gangsters, it seems to be a Japanese knife......"

Listening to Han Gyuji's answer, Li Xi and Concubine Min couldn't help but glance at each other, and each saw a look of doubt in each other's eyes.

"Those who make trouble should be undoubtedly." Jin Yujun hurriedly said, "It is reasonable for the cadres to blame Japan, so it is reasonable to use a sword." ”

"Judge Jin, why do you believe that this chaos is the work of the Qianren?" The eunuch Yoo Jae-hyun seemed to see something, and stepped forward to ask Kim Ok-kyun.

In the face of such a question, Jin Yujun replied with a strong voice: "What I saw all the way when I came was different from the Han Ying envoy, what I saw was a short-haired person making trouble!" The people of our country and the Japanese ronin do not have such a hairstyle, only dry people shave their hair! Who is it if it is not a dry man? ”

After listening to Jin Yujun's answer, Liu Zaixian shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily, the people of our country do not shave their hair from ancient customs, and the Bo people among the dry people shave short hair, just like the people of the West, and whether the Xia people in the Central Plains shave their hair, Shangbang listens to the people, and the Xia people also have long hair like the people of our country, and now the dry people who do business in our country are mostly Xia people, and there are few Bo people.
