July 1.

Riding on a steam cargo ship, Kim Sang-hun, Choi Hyo-il, and Lim Kyung-yeol secretly returned to North Korea.

Then he changed into civilian clothes and entered the city of Wangjing Han.

So in the next few days, they went their separate ways and visited many ministers.

For example, Cui Mingji, the leader of the council, Kim Sangrong (Kim Sang-hun's brother), as well as Zhang Wei, Shen Qiyuan, Jin Zidian and others, secretly persuaded and wooed, asking them to do it anyway, and the end of stubborn resistance without knowing the intentions of the current affairs must be very tragic.

As for the effect of wooing, it can only be described with good use, and most of the ministers only hesitated a little, and then agreed anyway, the remaining few not only did not hesitate for half a second, but were ecstatic:

"Haha, we finally got the opportunity to be a dog for Xujiazhuang! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! ”

"Houjin is just one of the many lackeys raised by Xujiazhuang, the most inferior one, almost wiped out the country that we bitten, now it's okay, we also take refuge in Xujiazhuang, and Princess Shujing is the concubine of the lord of Xuzhuang, and the son of the world is our new king, and the Korean kingdom in the future will be the first-class dog of Xujiazhuang, located in Houjin, Japan, and Guanning Army, and the future will far surpass them, and it will be these surrounding forces that should be afraid in the future."

"Why did you come now, why did Xu Jiazhuang only make a move now? If we had been taken a few years earlier, we would have lived a prosperous life. ”

"The king's manor occupies a million acres of land, but the area within a radius of thirty miles (666.7 square kilometers) is only a few hundredths of the kingdom's three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, so it is better to occupy more land, how about occupying tens of millions of acres? Include our Jin family and better serve the royal family. ”

"The nobles are exempt from taxes, but if the ordinary people are exempted from their taxes and greatly reduce their burdens, will they still work diligently to plant a lot of land? Will it lead to a decrease in the cultivated land area of the kingdom, a decrease in production, and the people in the city will be starving for food, I think it is better not to be tax-free, which will raise the people. ”

"Can I join this King's Manor? If you allow us to join, you will swear to serve the new king and never betray! If you can't join, you can also hope to cooperate with the King's Manor, become an agent of various commodities, and become a cooperative supplier of the King's Manor. ”

"When will His Royal Highness the wise Prince Regent and the loyal army come, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Can you come over quickly? I can't wait, I can't continue to serve Li Liang, a dumb king. ”

"My side is ready to respond, as soon as the loyal king's army arrives, I will immediately fight anyway, assist in entering the palace, and take down the faint monarch Li Liang!"

"For the sake of safety, I won't go to the palace to discuss politics in the past few days, so as not to have an accident."

As a result, King Li Liang found that from July 2 to July 5, more and more ministers who took leave to attend the court on the grounds of illness and ill health were increasing, and the number of ministers decreased from hundreds to dozens, and then there were only a few cronies left, which made him feel extremely uneasy and smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Even so.

The law of "whoever is ready to plot a rebellion, will definitely leak the news" unique to the feudal dynasty has lost its effect in Li Liang, and no one has come to him to inform, even if some loyal ministers who are loyal to him clearly know that the conspiracy is brewing and that great changes are about to happen, they do not dare to play the monarch, but rot in the stomach to avoid implicating their own family, it can be seen that no one is optimistic about Li Liang.

Realizing that he was being abandoned, Li Liang ordered a large number of cronies to go out to inquire about the news and was in a dying struggle, but these cronies, after hearing the important information that had been spread to the people of the whole of Seoul, were well known, but did not think to report to the monarch immediately, but cheered:

"There is salvation, we are all saved!"

"The Prince Regent is about to return with an army of 50,000 loyal kings, our Princess Shujing will become our queen, her son will become a noble prince, and we will be merged into the Xujiazhuang system in the future and become a member of the Xujiazhuang."

"The king's estate, the development of millions of acres of land, can support the royal family and officials, and implement permanent tax exemption throughout the country to reduce the burden of the people...... This good day is coming, the nobles will no longer oppress us on their heads, and if the golden tartars dare to come over again, they will only be bled in front of the powerful army of loyal kings! If the Tartars come again to plunder, they will be sent to death! ”

"I can't survive this kind of hard life for a day, when will the Prince Regent and the loyal army come? How long will we have to wait? Can you appear in front of me now, I still have a few meals of multigrain rice left at home, and I am willing to give it all! ”

"The king has no value in allegiance, and it is a dead end to continue to follow him."

"Although I have investigated everything, I still don't tell the king, there is no need to add despair and pain to him, and no more people can die."

……

July 6th, morning.

Port of Incheon.

Under the escort of two steam ironclad battleships.

The 50,000-strong army of Zhongwang lined up from more than 30 steam cargo ships, and after going ashore, they took 100 people as a small square and 10 small squares to form a large square, and after forming a neat queue, they marched in the direction of Wangjing Hancheng with neat steps and shouting loud slogans.

Each of them wore a lightweight half-body plate armor.

A 'thunderbolt' flintlock rifle (with bayonet), the performance indicators such as power range and rate of fire are much weaker than electric fire smokeless powder breech guns, but they still represent the pinnacle of flintlock guns, using graphite black powder + paper fixed ammunition + Mini warhead, the maximum rate of fire is five rounds per minute, and the maximum killing range is 500 meters.

The number of 50,000 people represents 50,000 flintlock pistols (no heavy weapons such as artillery), and after three months of rigorous training, in terms of logistical support, because of the proximity to Xujiazhuang, there is no need to worry about the shortage of ammunition.

Elite.

This is definitely a well-trained and intimidating elite legion.

Standing on an open-top carriage, looking at Li Hui of this legion, infinite pride surged in his heart, thinking that with this legion, he could easily sweep away Houjin, defeat Japan, and deter the Guanning army next to him, and no one dared to underestimate the surrounding forces.

As for Li Liang and his supporters in Wang Jing, they are just local chickens and tile dogs, and if they dare to resist, they will only end up with the word destruction!

The result was not as expected by Li Hui.

On this road of more than 50 miles from Incheon Port to Wangjing, I met only those who bowed their heads and cheered, and those who joined here with surprises, and none of them dared to stand in the way to resist.

So like a peaceful armed march.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

When Prince Regent Li Hui arrived at the city of Seoul with 50,000 loyal royal troops.

What Li Hui saw was the city gate that was completely open, the civil and military generals kneeling in front of him, and the countless people on both sides of the road who were holding food and water in their hands and welcoming the king with joy on their faces.

"Into town!"

Li Hui didn't feel suspicious, and said with a wave of his horsewhip.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

The army of the loyal king stepped on the sonorous steps, entered the city, and then divided the troops, and was led by Neiying to take over the city gates and treasury everywhere, and everything went smoothly.

……

Now.

Inside Gyeongbokgung Palace.

King Li Liang found that even the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had run out of the palace one after another, and there were many cronies and guards, who were even looting property, putting on makeup, and getting lucky.

At this time, he was a fool, and he probably knew what was going on, realizing that he had been abandoned and betrayed by everyone.

Finished.

He's about to finish.

For a while, he also had the idea of packing up some treasures and running away quickly, but how to escape? There is no one around him to protect him, as long as he dares to leave this palace and is recognized, maybe he will become a credit in the eyes of others, and a woman can arrest him.

He had to flee with a group of cronies.

So he searched around the palace and asked the eunuchs and maids to protect him, but he was ignored.

Finally, in the Ideological and Political Palace, Li Ju saw the minister Jin Jin, his uncle Gu Hong, his cousin Gu Renyuan and his cousin Shen Jingzhen and others who were gathering together sneakily, these are the people who supported him in the first place, and they are the most trustworthy cronies, once Li Hui comes back, he will never let go of them.

"It turns out that you are all here, and the widow has been looking for you for a long time."

Li Liang walked over happily and said to them: "The widow knows that Li Hui's traitor has come back, and you are actually like those eunuchs and palace maids and ministers of the court, and you don't tell the widow anything, hehe, do you think the widow is a fool?" You and the widow are in the same boat, with the same glory and withering, and do not want to deviate! Hurry up and escort the widow away, and when Li Hui brings people into the palace, we will all die, and there will be a way to survive if we escape! ”

"King, I'm sorry!"

Jin Jin and the others suddenly dispersed, each took out a short knife, and wrapped him in the middle, blocking his retreat.

"You—you want to kill the king?"

Li Qi was stunned and looked at them in disbelief, especially his uncle Gu Hong, his cousin Gu Renyuan and his cousin Shen Jingzhen, these people are all his relatives and people he trusts unconditionally.

"King, go in peace!"

"Just let your head change our lives."

"The king is good to go!"

Jin Jin, Gu Hong, Gu Renyuan, Shen Jingzhen and others did not hesitate to pierce the short knife into Li Liang's body, and stabbed dozens of knives with a puff.

"You, you ......"

Li Liang looked at them with a sad and angry face, but sharp pain came from all over his body, and he soon fell into endless darkness.

……

Evening.

Li Hui finally led people into the palace.

"You slaughtered Li Liang? You traitors, even the king dares to kill him? Come on, pull them down and behead them! ”

Seeing the head of his nephew Li Liang in a tray, Li Hui didn't feel happy at all about revenge, only strong regret and anger, and immediately ignored the wails and begging for mercy of Jin Jin, Gu Hong and others, and let them go to hell with them.
