The fierce battle was unfavorable, Miura Wulou led the "Heavenly Blessing Hero" to break out of the encirclement, but there were guards on all sides, and several rushes were unsuccessful, and some of the core ronin Hinoyoshi Hisakata, Takeda Fanyuki, Okubo Zhao, Tanaka Shiro, Shirosui Shiro, Shirasui Shikichi, etc. were killed one after another, and the ammunition was almost consumed. The remaining dozens of people had no choice but to fight and leave, and retreated to the area of Yuhuatang on the east side of Jingyou Palace.

Here I was lucky to find a dog hole, which could pass through the tall palace wall, and Miura Wulou took a group of people to get out, but some ronins felt that it was insulting the dignity of the samurai to escape by drilling the dog hole, so they turned to find another way out.

Soon, these people, including Yoshikura Wangsheng, Chiba Kunosuke, Inoue Fujizaburo, Nishiri Eisuke, Tokizawa Yuichi, etc., were all killed by the guards who arrived later.

Among them, Masaki Masaki was knocked down by the Guards, he raised his hands, and a Guards squad leader thought he had surrendered, and was just about to pick him up Masaki Masaki suddenly pulled out a small knife, and with a wave of his hand, he cut the throat of this squad leader, and the blood rushed out like a fountain, and the whole person fell down like a sack, without snorting.

This completely angered the other Chinese soldiers, and everyone rushed up, pressed Masaki to the ground and couldn't move, and then started to gouge out his eyes, nose and ears, pry his mouth open, and put his rough hands into it, and plucked out his tongue alive.

Then, he cut off all the hands and feet of Masaki Masaki, who had passed out, and threw them directly into the dung pit.

Both of Suzuki's legs were cut off, and the Guards soldiers were angry that these ronins would not surrender, so they found a few tung oil plates and put them on the tung oil plates, so that the blood could not flow out, making Suzuki Tianyan miserable.

Ryohei Uchida was smashed by the guards with the butt of a gun, and the whole person lay on his back on his calf, like a broken puppet, unable to survive or die.

These samurai have always been brave and ruthless, thinking that they are indifferent to life and death, and they are coaxing, and they meet the guards who have been completely brainwashed in their minds and have experienced cruel actual combat experience, and they are really hooligans who have met their fathers. Originally, they thought that the so-called "caesarean section under the cherry blossom tree is so romantic", but it was only at this time that they realized a sentence: You are not afraid of pain, because you don't know what pain is!

Here Miura Wulou with his subordinates, drill out of the dog hole, face the new Korean army outside the palace, "God bless the hero" people use both swords and guns, a fierce rush, and finally the North Korean army rushed away, took the road away, fled to the direction of the Japanese legation, Suzuki Li and Taiyuan Yoshitsuna were killed by the Korean soldiers and civilians in the fierce battle. Before arriving at the embassy, a group of people fled head-on, it was Shimamura Hisashi and others, the counselor of the embassy.

It turned out that the embassy was besieged by a large number of officials and civilians, and was even set on fire, to see if it didn't work, the embassy rushed out, and the embassy's military attache, Captain Isobayashi Shinsan, was also killed, and fled all the way, just ran into the remnants of "God Bless Hero", and the two passers-by together were only about 40 people, and they fled to the south of the city.

Hong Young-sik and others took Gojong hostage and fled to Beiguan Temple, and people continued to besiege him along the way, and the accompanying North Korean soldiers also dispersed one after another, so that the news of Gojong also leaked out. At this time, it was almost early in the morning, Yuan Shikai was anxious that he could not find Gaozong, and when he received a report on Gaozong's whereabouts, he was overjoyed, and immediately personally led a battalion of the Guards, as well as Yu Yunzhong and Shen Xiangxun and others, as well as a battalion of Min Yongyi's new army, to Beiguan Temple to "rescue".

In the early morning of the 15th, Yuan Shikai finally led the army to surround the Beiguan Temple tightly, seeing that there was no way to escape, plus tired and hungry, Hong Yingzhi and others had no fighting spirit and had to come out and surrender. Yuan Shikai's biggest worry was that Gaozong was taken away by Japan, and now that Gaozong was in his hands, he was also relieved.

Takezoe Shinichiro, Jin Yujun and others fled all the way south, constantly being chased and beaten by the people, throwing stones and tiles, and there was no place to live. After escaping for a day and two nights, he finally escaped to Pyeongtaek, a small town south of Seoul, on the 16th.

There is a stronghold set up by the Japanese ronin and a relay station in the southbound jihua, which is headed by Kotaro Hiraoka and Mitsuru Toyama. And before, another road, Miura Wulou and Shimamura Hisashi and others had also arrived here.

Thinking that in just a few days, the new cabinet had been reduced to a lost dog, and the good situation had been completely ruined. Jin Yujun said to Zhu Tian: "The officials and people of a country are all ignorant and ignorant, if you want to be civilized and innovative, only your country can send troops to help." ＂

Unbeknownst to him, his words were soon fulfilled, and at noon that day, the Japanese Army's advance force, Takashima Tonosuke Brigade, had begun to land at Gunsan Bay, south of Pyeongtaek.

In fact, as early as the 15th, the Japanese army, escorted by the reserve fleet, arrived at Jianghua Bay, but found that the Chinese army was heavily defended and had no opportunity to take advantage of it. As a last resort, the Japanese had no choice but to turn south and land at Gunsan Bay.

At this time, Yuan Shikai was cleaning up the mess in Seoul, and a report had already been sent from Incheon that the Japanese fleet had been found in Ganghwa Bay, so it was necessary to hurry.

The first is to punish criminals, and all the people of the Enlightenment Party, including Hong Young-sik, Yoon Zhi-ho, Yoon Yong-kwan, Park Qi-yong, Oh Jian, Park Yong-kyo, Shin Bok-mo, etc., were all sentenced to death for the crime of treason, including their official family members were also implicated, such as Hong Young-sik's father, the former leader of the parliament Hong Chun-mo, who was also given to commit suicide.

The second is the establishment of a new government: Kim Yoon-sik served as the leader of the council (equivalent to the prime minister), Sim Sang-hoon and Cho Nae-naeh were worried about the left and right of the council, Kim Hong-ji served as the judge of Hu Cao, Kim Jung served as the judge of Gong Cao, Yu Yun-jung served as the judge of Bing Cao, Park Qi-chun stayed behind for Ganghwa, and Bian Won-gyu was the commander of the Seong-jong Yuan. Throughout the imperial court, almost all of them were members of the big party, and the previous coup d'état hit the Min Concubine group hard, from Min Concubine down, a group of important ministers of the Min nationality were killed, and the Lixing Min family relatives group has been in a slump since then.

According to Ding Yuntong's instructions, Dayuanjun was autocratic and resolute, which was in fact not conducive to China's manipulation, but this person strongly hated Japan, and in the Sino-Japanese war, it was beneficial for China for him to temporarily take charge of the government. As for Gaozong, Yuan Shikai has already pinched the edict he wrote in his own hand, "Japanese soldiers come to guard", whether active or passive, this edict is the evidence of Gaozong's "seducing the Japanese invaders", and he will take it out and use it when the time is right.

Yuan Shikai is laying an ambush here, and there are also people in the Yellow Sea who are ambushing.

According to Ding Yuntong's instructions, Huang Jianxun's mine battalion is beginning to lay mines in the designated sea area near the Chinese side of the Yellow Sea in accordance with the pre-drawn blueprints.

In the Sino-French War, Huang Jianxun learned Ding Yuntong's hemp rope minelaying method, after jishu improvement and equipment update, the original hemp rope was also replaced with a thin iron cable, and designed a special minelayer, mines are automatically discharged according to a certain time interval, this interval can also be adjusted, so that the speed and accuracy of minelaying have been further improved, and the basic "release and go", in a specific sea area mine, from the survey of hydrology, flow rate, wind direction, wind speed, to mine, and then call it a day and return home, It is possible to lay a mine line with dozens of mines in two hours.

In the early days of the war, in order to reassure the main force of the Japanese Army, the "Portuguese fleet" hiding in Xuwengang could not yet be unveiled. At the same time, in order to avoid the surprise attack of the Japanese army, the navy in the Yellow Sea waters had to shrink into the harbor. However, this is a temporary response, and it is impossible to stay inside all the time and not come out, let alone be blocked by the Japanese fleet, because after all, harassing Japan's maritime supply lines and increasing Japan's war losses is also a very important strategic goal.

Therefore, Ding Yuntong devised such a tactic for the navy: let the mine battalion quickly arrange the mine line in advance, so that the Japanese army could not completely block the port, and at the same time let the navy rely on the mine line to engage the Japanese army at sea, so that even when retreating, it would not be easy for the faster Japanese navy to catch up and outflank.

If done properly, China will be able to harass Japan to the maximum extent possible and inflict casualties, while preserving its own life and waiting for the decisive moment of Zuihou.
