"Whew! It's not in vain! Ren Chao lay directly on the bed, "By the way, how much money do I have left now?" ”

"The money you have left now is 267200." The elf replied with a smile.

"Good! Good! That's great! Hahaha! Ren Chao couldn't help laughing, "By the way, how many soldiers are left in the group of soldiers who attracted the main force of the Japanese army, and where are they now?" ”

"I'm sorry you don't have enough permissions, I can't answer this question." The elf said apologetically.

"Your sister! Why can't you sue me! Ren Chao sat up and pointed at the elf and shouted.

"Because now you don't have enough authority to check the current status of your soldiers!" The elf replied honestly.

"You!" Ren Chao wanted to say something more, but he thought that the elf was just an intelligent system, and the system was set up like this, even if he said anything in vain! Ren Chao's eyes rolled, and suddenly a treacherous smile appeared, "Hey, hey, hey!" Then it's okay to open my personal page for me! ”

Name: Ren Chao

Rank: Colonel

Territory: None

Population: None

Strength: 753

Money: 267200

……

Soon the personal page appeared in front of Ren Chao's eyes, and Ren Chao smiled proudly, "If you don't sue me, do you think Lao Tzu can't do anything?" "There are only 753 troops left, that is to say, in the first battle of Seoul, Ren Chao lost about 250 people, that is to say, the more than 300 people who attracted the main force of the Japanese army lost about 150 people, and there are more than 200 people left. These people should have scattered and broken through, but they don't know when they will be able to return. Although the loss is not small, it is still worth it compared to the harvest this time.

"Bit by bit, I killed more than 600 little devils in total, and I also solved the old devil Keisuke Otori by the way, and I earned it!" Ren Chao grinned, but there was a trace of bitterness on his face, he had lost so many people, although they were all system soldiers, but these people were also flesh and blood! How could Ren Chao be happy.

The next day, Ren Chao instructed Joseon Gaozong Li Xi to announce to the whole country in the name of Li Xi, officially declare war on Japan, and Jeonju as the wartime companion capital, and order the national officials and troops to raise the army of the king and rush to Jeonju to fight against the Japanese invaders. As a result, officials and troops from all over North Korea converged on Jeonju.

At the same time, the Dongxue Party also issued a proclamation, waving the banner of "assisting the country and securing the people", and soon gathered more than 100,000 volunteers. Joseon Gaozong Li Xi also crowned Jeon Hyun as an auxiliary general, and added the rank of Cao Juan (equivalent to the Qing Dynasty's military department Shangshu) to lead all kinds of rebel armies and protect the country against the Japanese!

At the same time, Ren Chao also began to actively prepare for war. Due to the great gains of Hancheng and his entourage, Ren Chao recruited a group of systematic soldiers again, and the Tiger Ben Army expanded to 2,000 people, including three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, and its strength increased greatly for a while.

On the way to retreat from Seoul, due to the bumps along the way, the old and frail Daewonjun became seriously ill after arriving in Jeonju. Gaozong Li Xi was also seriously ill due to fright, and Ren Chaotong Guò systematically recruited two Level 3 doctors to treat the two of them, and ordered them to cure the two men at any cost. These two people are of great use, and Ren Chao naturally doesn't want them to hang up like this, so wouldn't Seoul's toss be in vain?

To Ren Chao's surprise, although Concubine Min was also a little frightened, she was much better than her incompetent husband, and she quickly recovered. It seems that this woman is really not simple, no wonder she will be in charge of the Korean government for more than 20 years, and even the old fox of Xingxuan Dayuanjun can't fight her, and she has been ousted by Concubine Min twice. After learning about Concubine Min's past achievements, Ren Chao couldn't help but sigh, this woman is simply the North Korean version of Wu Zetian!

At the meeting of the Japanese cabinet, Hirobumi Ito, who had just received the news of the Seoul incident, was furious, "Waste! It's all rubbish! Hundreds of Qing soldiers mixed into Seoul, and the locusts stationed in Seoul were unaware of it, and they even shirked their responsibilities here, saying that the Qing soldiers were like divine soldiers descending from heaven and suddenly appeared in the palace of Seoul, which is simply nonsense. Now that the king of Joseon is being held hostage by the Qing army, the empire has fallen into an extremely passive situation, which makes me explain to His Majesty the Emperor! Ito Hirobumi angrily slammed a text clip in his hand directly on the table.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has taught you a lesson!" War Minister Dashan Yan stood up and bowed down and said, "Regarding the Seoul Incident, the defenders of Seoul bear an unshirkable responsibility, and the military commander who guarded Seoul has apologized to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"What's the use of disemboweling and apologizing!" Ito Hirobumi yelled angrily, "What I want to know now is, what to do next?" How can I explain to His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"This?" Dashan Yan was speechless for a while.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" At this time, Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu suddenly stood up and said, "We can announce to the outside world that the Joseon King Yi Hee, the princess and Daewonjun have been killed by the Qing army in the turmoil, and then we can set up another Joseon king in Seoul, so that the unfavorable situation of the empire can be temporarily alleviated." ”

"Yo Xi!" Hirofumi Ito's face turned a little better after hearing this, "So far, that's the only way to do it!" ”

At this time, Youpeng in Shan County suddenly stood up, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, ministers! The Empire has been preparing for continental policy for decades, and now that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Empire must not afford to miss it. I think we should immediately speed up the delivery of reinforcements to North Korea. International public opinion will always stand on the side of the victor, and as long as we defeat the Qing Dynasty, are we still afraid of the accusations of international public opinion? ”

"Yo Xi! What Shan Shan Jun said makes sense! Ito Hirobumi nodded and said, "I hope that Yamagutam-kun can rush to North Korea as much as possible, succeed him as commander of the First Army, and coordinate the overall situation!" ”

"Hay! Willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor! Shan County Youpeng said respectfully.

Ito Hirobumi nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I would like to invite the ministers to raise their hands and vote on the above proposals!" ”

"Agreed!" All the ministers present at the meeting raised their hands in agreement.

The shameless Japanese invaders publicly announced that the Qing army had raided Seoul and assassinated the Korean king, princess, Daewonjun, and many Korean ministers. and publicly condemned the brutality of the Qing Dynasty. Subsequently, the eldest son of the monarch of the Great Courtyard was established in Seoul, and the elder brother of Gojong Yi Hee, Lee Jae-crown, was the pseudo-king of Joseon. -for-tat with the Joseon Provisional Imperial Court in Jeonju.

So at the same time, Yamayama Youpeng was officially appointed as the commander of the First Army, and he could go to Korea to take up his post, and the Japanese reinforcements also continued to come to Korea, and the war was about to break out.
