Li Xi disappeared so that the temple was very anxious, if Li Xi himself took the opportunity to escape, he could still be captured, if the people of the Chinese Empire did it, then there would be big trouble, and in the future, the Chinese Empire would have a fair and honest reason to attack North Korea, and it would also gain the support of the Korean people.

The temple didn't care so much about taking the soldiers to Deshou Palace in person, but it turned out that several palace maids and the like had died inside, and the Japanese soldiers were also tricked, and none of the people of the Li royal family were gone, even the righteous prince and princess who were outside were gone, it was obvious that this was premeditated.

"Bastard, who did it, let's see if Li Wanyong and they also ran away, look for them, search all over Seoul and find them out!" Terauchi Masaki roared at the soldiers who were following him. He also knew that he was negligent, because the troops were not enough, he sent the soldiers guarding the palace to resist the northeast army, only dozens of Japanese soldiers and less than a hundred Korean native soldiers were guarding, which allowed Li Xi and them to escape.

An hour earlier, the Northeast Army had just entered Seoul, and the Korean royal palace was greeted by a group of Chinese intelligence officers disguised as Japanese soldiers, who took forged documents and orders to fool those Japanese soldiers and Korean soldiers, saying that they were going to move Li Xi and them to a safe place, and then rushed to the south to escape the war.

After they entered the palace, they immediately rushed to Deoksugung Palace, found Li Xi and showed that they were from the Chinese Empire, and wanted to take the opportunity to take them out of the palace, and then send them to the imperial capital to meet Li Yan. At first, Li Xi didn't believe it, but after they took out a handwritten letter from Prince Zaiyi, Princess Naruto Kim, Li Xi believed it.

When they were about to leave with Li Xi and other members of the royal family, they were discovered by the palace maids who had been bribed by Japan, and they did not hesitate to kill these palace maids, and then hurriedly drove out of the palace and rushed to the south.

The whereabouts of a group of people like Li Wei are very obvious, and although they have changed their outfits several times, they are still discovered by Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army followed their route and questioned the residents, and the residents did not know that it was Li Jun, so they said, and now there are no people in the whole of Seoul outside the house, and their whereabouts have become quite obvious.

They didn't dare to stay along the way, let alone find a place to hide, their goal was too obvious, but after realizing that the Japanese had discovered them, they divided into two groups and divided into a team to attract the enemy.

After chasing for a long time, the Japanese army found that they had been fooled, and quickly turned back to chase, and after another urgent pursuit, it was not easy for the Japanese army to catch up after the Yongsan area, but when they encountered the northeastern army that had just vandalized the Han River, they ran away. But the Japanese soldiers who had been chasing for so long were already very tired, how could they hide from the pursuit of the Northeast Army and annihilate them in a short time.

Li Yan and others cried excitedly when they saw the Northeast Army, and finally they no longer had to be placed under house arrest in the palace by the Japanese army.

After leaving a thousand people to protect Li Wei and others, the Northeast Army continued to rush north, and soon they arrived at Chongli Gate, and the resistance along the way can be said to be basically none, because the Japanese army simply did not have the extra strength to defend here.

"Your Excellency the Governor, no, a large number of Chinese troops are coming to us from the south."

"What, how can there be enemies in the south, aren't they all in the north? Damn, the Chinese army is so cunning, immediately let them withdraw and withdraw into the palace of Korea! He didn't expect that there would be so many troops in the northeast, and there would be a north-south attack, so he had no choice but to retreat into the palace.

The Japanese soldiers who were still in the north soon began to retreat, retreating into the palace while fighting back, and when they completely withdrew into the palace, the northeastern army met in the north and south to surround the entire palace, and stormed the four palace gates.

Feng Delin met with Li Xi and others, comforted them, and then transferred 10,000 people from the army besieging the palace to clean up the mess that had just been fought, as well as to collect those Korean nobles and merchants who had taken refuge in Japan.

After the Japanese army retreated back to the palace, there were only about 3,000 troops left, and they tightly guarded the four gates of the palace, and Terauchi Masayi was only now depressed, because they couldn't get out at all, and the northeastern army could starve them to death just by surrounding them for a few days.

The Northeast Army occupied the Japanese Governor's Mansion as a base camp, and the Japanese Governor's Mansion in Korea was not far in front of the palace, and the roof of the building could overlook the entire palace, where you could clearly see every move of the Japanese army with a telescope.

Feng Delin didn't care about Li Xi's protest and let the soldiers directly fire at the royal city with cannons, and the palace buildings that would not be less were blown up, Li Xi's heart was dripping blood, it was their Li family's hundreds of years of hard work.

The Japanese soldiers of less than 3,000 could not resist the frontal attack of tens of thousands of northeastern soldiers, and after a while, the four palace gates were lost, and the temple took them to retreat to the palace in the palace. Although the Joseon Palace is not as brilliant as the Forbidden City of the Chinese Empire, it is also a royal palace, and there are several small royal cities in the center of the palace that form a straight line, and the Japanese army has withdrawn into it.

The Northeast army immediately surrounded these small royal cities, and Feng Delin originally wanted to use artillery to directly bombard the place and make it a grave for the Japanese army, but Li Xi hugged his thigh to prevent him from shelling there.

In Li Xi's opinion, if the palaces in the palace were razed to the ground, how to put their Li family's face, it was not a joke. Feng Delin also knew that he could not continue to bombard, otherwise it would be difficult for the empire to move an inch in Korea in the future, and the Li family was still the leader of the Korean people, and the royal palace was a huge symbol, just like the status of the Huaxia Palace in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Feng Delin let the army surround those palaces and did not attack, but brought a group of translators to persuade him to surrender, the dead governor is not as valuable as living, this time he wants to capture the temple Masashi, this is a big fish.

From 1902 to 1911, Terauchi Masayi served three consecutive terms as Minister of War, General and Earl of the Japanese Army, and always advocated a foreign policy of controlling China.

Entering the center of the palace, Terauchi Masatsuki was unusually calm, he knew that there was no way out for them, either fight to the death or surrender, and now he was hesitating, not knowing how to decide.

At this time, there were only 800 Japanese soldiers in the palace, and all those natives had been killed by the Northeast Army, and many soldiers were still wounded, and there was not much ammunition, so they hurriedly entered the central palace without any supplies and ammunition.

"Sue them, if they don't surrender in ten minutes, we will attack, and they will have to make a choice within ten minutes." Feng Delin said to the translators with a frown.

Several interpreters shouted several times outside the palace, and there was also a riot among the Japanese soldiers inside, many of the soldiers did not want to die, and shouted that they wanted to go home and see their families, and the officers were also silent. In fact, the Japanese soldiers were also afraid of death, otherwise they would not have retreated into the palace.

Terauchi Masaki took a look at these soldiers and asked them to prepare to surrender, while he was ready to sacrifice his life for the country because he did not dare to become a prisoner, his son Terauchi Shouichi was a staff officer of the Guards Division and a member of the General Staff Headquarters, and now he was studying in Germany as the deputy military attache of the army in Vienna, if nothing else, his career would surpass him. If he is captured, it will definitely have a great impact on his son, and if he sacrifices his life for the country, he will be rewarded by the emperor, and his son will inherit his earldom, and the military will not embarrass his son.

What's more, he is already in his sixties, and if he is captured by China, his old face will be there, so death is the best fate for him.

After the temple was finished, he walked to the main seat of the palace hall and sat down, this position was sat by the king of Joseon when he went to court, but he had sat there many times, and there was nothing magical about sitting on it now.

The soldiers went out one after another to surrender, and there were nine people left in the main hall, and they looked at the temple's Zhengyi with very firm eyes, and without hesitation, they drew their sabers and wiped them with the white handkerchiefs they carried.

"Gentlemen, let us die for the Empire, the defeat of this war is not our fault, it is the Cabinet that is wrong, Prime Minister Yamamoto Gonbei's decision is wrong, and only the army is in power is correct. Today, you will go with me to see Amaterasu, long live the Emperor!! ”

"Long live the Emperor!!"

Ten people frantically stabbed their sabers into their abdomen, and after convulsing on the ground for a while, they died, and it was too late for Feng Delin to bring people in to stop them, which made Feng Delin very angry.

Ten people led by Terauchi Masashi committed suicide by caesarean section after the Tohoku army conquered Seoul, and the emperor was heartbroken when he heard this, and issued an edict posthumously gifted these ten people, and Terauchi Masayi was named a hereditary marquis, and his eldest son Terauchi Shouichi inherited the title.

Li Wanyong and others were also captured by the Northeast Army in one fell swoop, and these people Feng Delin threw them to Li Xi to deal with, and Li Xi took a saber and killed all of them with his own hands, and let them be hung on the main entrance of the palace. Li Xi also wanted to come out and call for the people to rise up against the Japanese, but Feng Delin stopped him, because they would soon be gone, and the Japanese would reoccupy the place.

Just as Feng Delin was admiring Masahiro's saber in the temple, a communications soldier ran into his office, which was the place of the Japanese Governor-General.

"Report to the commander, the Imperial telegram, ordering us to retreat as much as possible, the Japanese navy has brought in 20,000 troops from Arte, and at this time it will reach Inchon in half a day, and the Japanese troops in the south have already landed, and there are 100,000 of them."

In order to be able to keep Seoul, the Japanese army sent more than 20,000 troops from Katsura Taro's cabinet in Lushun in order to threaten China as far as Seoul.

"Damn, why is it coming so soon, and the quilt in Seoul is not warm. The whole army was ordered to retreat in the evening. Feng Delin was very dissatisfied with the Japanese army coming so quickly, but he didn't dare to stay longer, now he still has less than 40,000 troops, and he dares to go and consume with the Japanese army, which is his old book.
