Chapter 12: Yuan's Heart (Ask for Recommendation)

Although since Chen Jitang was appointed as the Commercial Commissioner in Korea, the minister in Korea changed to arrive at Incheon Port instead of arriving at the old post road, and this Bihu Hall seems to have lost its role as the "first hall of the DPRK". But due to the ancestral system of the domain, whether it is Chen Jitang or Yuan Shikai, when he arrives in the court, he will first go to the Bihu Pavilion to stay in the Bihu Pavilion for a night to take a shower and rest, and then the next day, he will go 20 miles to the Muhua Pavilion, and at this time, the Korean king, the prince and the civil and military officials have been waiting for the envoys to come in the Muhua Pavilion. After the envoys receive the wind and wash the dust in the Muhua Pavilion, they will enter the city.

Although it is troublesome, but the rules are always the rules, as the minister in the court, Tang Haoran is naturally no exception, the army had to detour and cross into the Biho Pavilion, although the Bihoof Pavilion is located on a small hill, but the surrounding area is also flat, and the guards camped around the hall on the spot.

When the guards were encamped, Tang Haoran was standing in the hall, looking at the Korean post man in the hall with an awe-inspiring expression, and just waved his hand to him and commanded.

"Just prepare some firewood and rice, and if there is anything, let someone tell you!"

After Yi Cheng timidly withdrew, Tang Haoran's mind was difficult to calm down for a while, just thinking about tomorrow's events, tomorrow's events, related to his own and China's future.

Can that thing be done smoothly?

Is Yuan Shikai credible?

Many questions flashed in Tang Haoran's mind, and at the last moment, people always seemed a little hesitant, and even Tang Haoran himself was a little shaken.

Wouldn't it be too risky to do so?

Only in this era, Tang Haoran knows what is a no-void person under fame, beyond more than 100 years of knowledge, it does not mean that he can fight against those officialdom "old fritters" who have already become human spirits, from Zhang Zhidong to Li Hongzhang, how many of these people are good to get along with?

Even if he finally jumped out of the tiger's den and came to North Korea, doesn't there be a famous person in this North Korea, do you still have to rely on him to help you one or two? If he doesn't cooperate, the trouble over there will be ......

At this moment, Tang Shaoyi, the consul in Seoul who had been "off duty" for almost two months, quietly walked to Tang Haoran's side.

"My lord, don't worry, Lord Yuan will never let you down!"

Disappointed?

I'm not afraid that he will disappoint him, I'm afraid that he will not be able to believe it!

I thought about it in my heart, but it turned into another word on my lips.

"Don't you know that Brother Yuan will never disappoint, if this matter is successful, Brother Yuan and I will definitely be listed in history, and Brother Yuan's achievements will be in the future! That's why the official ......"

Listening to Tang Haoran's sigh, Tang Shaoyi, who was afraid that he would change his mind, hurriedly said.

"My lord, you know, in addition to being the first hall of the embassy, this Biho Pavilion has another relationship with my China!"

Tang Shaoyi, who used the Blue Hoof Pavilion to divert Tang Haoran's attention, continued.

"Do you know that two hundred and ninety-seven years ago, it was with this little-known Blue Hoof Pavilion that we fought a big battle with the Japanese here!"

Tang Shaoyi's words immediately aroused Tang Haoran's interest, could this place be the ancient battlefield of China and Japan?

"Shaochuan, you're talking about the Battle of Korea in the Wanli period!"

"That's it, my lord! If you are interested, you might as well take a look outside the museum! ”

The two came to the outside of the museum, and Tang Shaoyi told Tang Haoran about the fierce battle that happened on this land two hundred and ninety-seven years ago as he walked.

“…… In the Battle of Bihoguan, the Ming army led by General Li retreated more with less, crushing the only opportunity for the Japanese army to annihilate the Ming army in the Battle of Wanli Korea, severely damaging the morale of the Japanese army, and laying the foundation for forcing the Japanese army to abandon Wangjing and conquer Seoul in the future......"

Staring at the more than 100 white tents of the Bihu Pavilion, Tang Haoran seemed to have a hallucination, and the sound of the iron horse Jinge two hundred and ninety-seven years ago seemed to appear in front of him again, and in the battle of Wanli Renchen, the Ming sent Li Rusong to lead the troops to rescue it, and the Ming army conquered Pyongyang, reopened the city, and fought the bloody battle of Biho, which can be said to be in Sanhan. As for the bloody battle that broke out in the land of the Blue Hoof Pavilion in front of them, the Ming army was outnumbered and defeated by the weak, and placed itself on the ancient battlefield, standing on the top of the hill and listening quietly, and it seemed that it could still smell the sound of thousands of horses galloping in the distance. Imagine that back then, the Jin Ge Iron Horse looked up to the sky and roared, and the strong man sang a sad song and stained the battlefield with blood,

Seeing that Tang Haoran's whole person seemed to be rendered in history, Tang Shaoyi asked again.

"My lord, my subordinates know that there is a place, I think you will definitely be willing to go, if it is not now that it is dark, I am willing to lead the adults over, and after tomorrow's things are settled, how about accompanying you to see it?"

"What's the best place to go?"

Tang Haoran, who was pulled back from the bosom of the ancient battlefield by his words, asked with a casual smile, Speaking of this place in North Korea, there is really no good place to go, whether it is the countryside or the city, it is a foul smell, disgusting, what's so fun, it's really a shame that the Goryeo stick and the face blow what Korean mountains and rivers are beautiful.

Nowadays, there are no trees on most of the mountains in North Korea, the water of the Han River is turbid, from Inchon to Seoul, all of them are the appearance of the loss of water and soil, and even Tang Haoran is thinking, after presiding over the new Korean policy, he must mobilize the government and the people to plant trees in the mountains, what is the good place to go in this barren mountains and mountains?

Well, there seem to be a few hot springs near Seoul!

This is barely a scene, if there are a few beautiful Korean maids waiting on the side when you take a hot spring, it is worth visiting......

"Cheng'en Temple,"

is different from the "warm soup beauty" imagined by Tang Haoran, Tang Shaoyi said three words.

"Cheng'en Temple?"

Tang Haoran repeated curiously.

"It is the North Korean government in the Wanli period of the previous dynasty to thank the Ming army for repelling the grace of the Japanese to raise funds, it is said that there are thousands of bones of the former dynasty soldiers buried behind the shrine!"

Hearing that there was a "Cheng'en Temple" built for the Ming army, Tang Haoran suddenly became interested and said again and again.

"North Korea still has this place? Then we'll have to check it out. ”

If there is really a "Cheng'en Temple", you must go to pay respects, after all, the Ming army buried here is his own compatriots, and tomorrow's event is ...... Well, if the Heroic Spirits are in the sky, I hope they will bless themselves!

"When I was with Seoul before, I heard from the officials of the DPRK Foreign Affairs Yamen that the "Seung'en Temple" is near Seoul, and if you ride a horse, it is estimated that it will take two hours to go back and forth, and it is ...... today."

Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Tang Haoran nodded and said.

"It's getting late, huh......"

After pondering for a long time, Tang Haoran looked at the undulating mountains outside the hill and said silently.

"When it's over tomorrow, we'll have to go over!"

Tomorrow...... I hope that the Ming soldiers offered in the shrine will bless a qiēshun lì!

When Tang Haoran prayed to the souls of the soldiers of the previous dynasty in the post station of the Biho Pavilion, he was in the Nanbee Palace in the city, which was the place where the envoys of the Ming Dynasty had stayed for hundreds of years, but now it is the place where the officials stationed in the court.

A few years ago, after the Korean servants in the palace leaked secrets, after forcing the Korean side to kill dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, Yuan Shikai, who was the minister in the court, recruited servants from the country, which also proved that Yuan Shikai was tyrannical and domineering in Korea.

However, it is precisely because of this domineering and domineering that North Korea is out of the "two palaces" of the king and the queen, and this Seoul has the saying of "asking each other Nanbetsu", and this Korean decree must first ask Yuan Shikai so as not to cause trouble, and it is precisely because of this that some North Korean officials will bow their doors to Nanbetsu and thus be promoted, and Yuan Shikai, who is the prime minister of North Korea in the name of the minister stationed in the DPRK, is also willing to meddle in the political affairs of the DPRK by recommending the "big faction".

It is precisely because of this that most of the time, when night falls, but it will be very lively, at the banquet Yuan Shikai and the "big" people inside and outside the court to contact feelings, talk about state affairs, and today, this South Palace seems a little deserted - the new minister in the court has been to the Bihu Pavilion, only tomorrow after the king of the Joseon and the hundred officials in the suburbs, the two ministers will be handed over in the South Palace, in other words, people go tea and cool.

Although it is a person who walks away from tea, Yuan Shikai still has some residual power after all, just like Min Yongyi invited today, although this concubine Min's relatives know that Yuan Shikai will leave North Korea tomorrow, but he still has to come to this South Palace to drink with Yuan Shikai.

In fact, Min Yongyi and Yuan Shikai were extremely close in the early years, when Yuan Shikai trained the new army in North Korea as an assistant in military affairs, and he and Min Yongyi were the ones who met, and the relationship between the two was extremely close because of the arrest of "Dayuanjun", but it became worse and worse because Yuan Shikai sent "Dayuanjun" back to the DPRK later, and now as the concumbered servant of North Korea, it is the battalion that the two trained together in that year, and it is precisely because of its position that it has become the leader of the Min Concubine Party.

"Zixiang, you and my brother have known each other for nearly ten years, in the past few years, although there is a slight misunderstanding, but where the brother's position is, I have to do everything for it, and I hope that the brother will understand!"

Speaking kung fu, Yuan Shikai toasted another glass of wine, the wine is the two pot heads brought by the authentic Jingshi, the wine is far stronger than the North Korean soju, but it is only an hour's effort, this Min Yongyi has already drunk at least two catties of spirits, although the amount of wine is quite good, but he can't hold Yuan Shikai's strength, he has already been eight points drunk, although he knows that he can't drink anymore, but Yuan Shikai's words are all about this, and he did it first as a respect, how can he not give face, and hurriedly said with a hard tongue.

"The suffering of Brother Ting, how can the younger brother not know that today my brother is no longer in the position of this minister, and there is no more official affairs, you and I can also promise brotherhood, and it is also a happy ......thing."

Min Yongyi, whose tongue was already hard, reluctantly drank a bowl of wine into his stomach, the man was already drunk, but Yuan Shikai still used the excuse that he couldn't refuse, and saluted several bowls in a row, but after a while, he was completely drunk on the table.

"Brother Zixiang, Brother Zixiang......"

patted Min Yongyi's shoulder one after another, seeing that he didn't have a trace of reaction, and after carefully removing his private seal, Yuan Shikai instructed the maid outside the door.

"Go, tell Lord Min's attaché, today Lord Min and I will have a good time, let them come in, let the room prepare some wine and food, don't let them slack off!"

As he made this order, Yuan Shikai glanced towards the north, his lips slightly raised.

"Tang Ziran, I've done it all here, and it's up to you over there!"
