On the morning of September 10, 1883, Yuan Shikai suddenly received an invitation letter from Hong Yingzhi of the General Post Office in the Muhua Pavilion, saying that he would hold a banquet at the post office tomorrow to celebrate, as the inauguration ceremony of the post office, "to welcome the arrival of the holy envoy of the country" and so on.

Yuan Shikai remembered the emperor's instructions, and immediately understood that something big was going to happen, and immediately sent someone to find Chen Shutang and other officials back, and at the same time reported to Beijing by phone.

When Ding Yuntong heard it, it was really a dinner!

On the one hand, he ordered Yuan Shikai to gather his troops, wait and see what happens, and protect some pro-China ministers without a trace.

While sending a secret telegram to the navy: "East wind, there is rain", the telegram first arrived in Weihaiwei, and the military port immediately sent speedboats to inform the main fleet that was cruising near the harbor.

In the evening of the same day, the commander of the fleet, Shen Shoukun, received an order, "Dongfeng" refers to Japan, "there is rain" refers to an armed attack, according to the prior Jihua, Shen Shoukun immediately led the fleet back to Weihaiwei, and the naval formation, which regularly patrols the Ryukyu waters, has returned to Weihaiwei since the Japanese delegation returned to China, so that the strength of the Chinese navy has been fully retracted into the port in the early morning of September 11.

On the evening of September 11, Ding Yuntong also ordered the Guards, especially the Su Yuanchun Brigade, which was secretly stationed in Yiju County, and the 7th and 9th Divisions, which were on standby in Andong, to enter the first level of combat readiness.

The long-awaited showdown, seeing that it was coming, Ding Yuntong's heart was both excited and nervous.

Equally excited and nervous are Kim Ok-kyun and Park Yong-hyo, the boss and second of the Enlightenment Party, and it is up to them to realize their lifelong dreams tonight.

At this time, the hall of the post office was decorated with lanterns and feasts, and many ministers were invited one after another. Kim Ok-gyun was talking in Japanese with the Japanese Embassy Counselor Shimamura Hisashi while looking anxiously at the door.

It is very strange that not only did not a single Chinese come, but also several members of the most important major party did not appear, including the Big Three and Zhao Ningxia, as well as the commanders of the fourth battalion of the New Army, did not attend on time.

Jin Yujun looked forward to it, waited for a long time, the banquet always did not start, the guests were hungry, the venue gradually began to discuss, Hong Yingzhi came over to urge a quick decision.

Kim Ok-gyun discussed with Park Yong-hyo, he couldn't wait any longer, after all, there were a few figures from the big party, like Kim Byung-se, Sim Sun-taek, Min Tae-ho, Min Yong-mu, Min Yong-jun, etc., killing these people is also a harvest, and those few dragon heads can be put aside for the time being. After all, time is limited, and if you have to attack the palace at night, that is the key to success or failure.

The plan was decided, and Jin Yujun ordered the action to begin.

Park Yong-hyo immediately slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, pulled out a sword from under the table, left the seat and came to the center of the venue, and shouted loudly: "There is an edict from the Lord, ordering us to crusade against traitors, and all people, etc., must not act rashly, and sit on the table!" ＂

Almost at the same time, shouts erupted outside the courtyard, and countless torches were lit.

Everyone in the field was stunned when they saw this, waiting left and right, waiting for dinner, and the front chest that was already hungry was sticking to the back, but when this came out, everyone was at a loss for a while.

Shen Shunze, a member of the big party, can't see Park Yongxiao wearing a suit on weekdays, calling him a "ghost suit", and I also heard that he often scolds himself in English, so he has a deep friendship with Park Yongxiao. ＂

Park Yongxiao responded viciously: "You usually make friends with Zhina, and you are domineering, but today you hear about the traitor, do you have the heart to fear the law?" ＂

Shen Shunze has been up and down for many years, and as soon as he heard the words "Jiaojie Zhina", he knew that today's events were not good. He immediately left the table and ran to the door, shouting: "Pu thief is overbearing, intending to rebel!" ＂

Before they reached the door, two people jumped in from outside the door, looking like Japanese samurai, holding long knives in both hands. Before Shen Shunze could react to what was going on, he saw two white lights flash in front of him, and immediately blood splashed, and the corpses were on the spot, and it was the ronin Suzuki Tianyan and Masaki Masaki who committed the murder.

Suddenly the whole audience was in chaos, especially those members of the big party, didn't they understand what was going on at this time? immediately shouted: "The rebels are in trouble, they want to kill all the ministers, run away!" When everyone heard the noise, they scattered and fled, rolling and crawling, and they were in a mess.

Hong Yingzhi saw that the matter had come to this point, and the time was urgent, so he urgently told Jin Yujun: "Just kill them all!" ＂

Jin Yujun also hoped to establish a new cabinet, and he could not make too many enemies, and shouted: "No, only kill the big thief, if there is anyone who escapes, go with him!" ＂

Shouts and screams rang out. Soon, Kim Byung-se, Min Tae-ho, Min Yong-mu, Min Yong-jun and others died under the sword one after another, but many people escaped, and Shen Sang-hoon, a member of the big party, was one of them.

Jin Yujun also did not have time to count the dead and wounded, and immediately ordered to go to Changdeokgong Palace to "escort".

Soon, at the Dunhua Gate in front of Changdeok Palace, the "Heavenly Blessing Hero" led by Miura Wulou and the "Training Army" commanded by the Kaihua Party were assembled, and Yin Zhihao, a member of the Kaihua Party, called the door forward, but the palace gate was closed and no one responded. At this time, the military attache of the Japanese Embassy, Shinzo Isobayashi, with a few people, piled up explosives in the corner of the door, lit the fuse, and exploded the door with a bang.

"God Bless Heroes" swarmed in, and the "training army" also entered, and the palace immediately burst into the sound of killing.

The Japanese ronins killed people when they saw them, like crazy, and with a large number of people, they quickly broke up the guards in the palace and rushed into the harem, and the captain of the guards, Hong Qixun, was also killed on the spot.

Soon, Gojong, who was hiding in Xizheng Hall and shivering, and Li Zaiyuan, the heir of the monarch of the courtyard, were found and handed over to the control of the Enlightenment Party, but they searched all over Concubine Min's dormitory, but the main target was missing.

After Miura Wulou slashed a few eunuchs to death, someone said that Concubine Min fled to the direction of the back garden, which is the back garden of Changdeok Palace. So the ronins also rushed into the back garden, searched everywhere, and finally found a few palace maids in the big newspaper altar dedicated to Mingshenzong, Ming Taizu and Chongzhen Emperor.

After some torture, the head mountain was full, Suzuki Riki, Uchida Ryohei and others rushed into the grove next to the big newspaper and pulled out three palace maids. The ronins knew in advance that Concubine Min had smallpox and that there was a pockmark under her ears, and they quickly recognized Concubine Min.

Concubine Min begged these ronins to spare her life, but she was beaten badly, and Takeda and Shirasui Kenkichi each slashed her. Then the red-eyed, beast-like ronin dragged the dying Concubine Min to the nearby well platform and began to gang rape her.

When the ronin took turns to insult, Concubine Min died at some point, and her body was cold. Afterwards, the ronins poured fire oil on the corpses and set them on fire, destroying the corpses and pouring the remnants into the well. When it was done, Miura Wulou led the "Heavenly Blessing Hero" to rush out of Changdeok Palace and go to Gyeongyou Palace.

On the other hand, Gojong was also abducted from Changdeokgung Palace to Gyeongwoogung Palace, which was narrow and easy to defend. Under the coercion and intimidation of Jin Yujun and others, he had to write an edict to "reshuffle the cabinet and implement strict changes."

In the early morning of September 12, a Liberal Party cabinet was hastily formed, Lee Jae-won was forced to serve as the right-hand councilor, Hong Young-sik as the left-hand councilor, Kim Ok-gyun as the Hu-cao judge, Park Yong-hyo as the front and rear camp envoy, Seo Kwang-beom as the left and right camp envoy, Seo Jae-pil as the former battalion leader of the Bing Cho Counselor, and Park Yong-hyo's younger brother Park Yong-kyo as the Seongjeongwon.

The "Heavenly Blessing Hero" who rushed to guard the palace, and the "Lianjun" guarded the outside of the palace, but Jin Yujun knew that his foundation was weak and his strength was insufficient, so he begged Shimamura to report to Minister Takezoe and asked Japan to "quickly send large soldiers to deter China".

Shimamura Hisashi had this intention, and after forcing Gaozong to write an edict that "Japanese soldiers are coming to defend," he immediately rushed back to the Japanese legation, and Takezoe Shinichiro immediately sent an urgent telegram to the country overnight, claiming that the "September 11 Incident" had been completed, that a pro-Japanese cabinet had been formed, and that troops had been sent to Yunyun as soon as possible.

By this time, the coup seemed to have been successful.

But at the same time, China's counterattack is about to begin.
