Time passed day by day, and all the new recruits had finished changing their equipment. What made Wang Guangxu depressed was that the speed at which he earned points was getting slower and slower.
"Gatling and Maxim's blueprints cost 30,000 points, but a 12-inch cannon costs 50,000 points! The most primitive fire control system and radar were also ridiculously high.”
"Why don't you f * cking go rob them!"
He thought angrily. Although the Imperial Capital College was there, technology and education were slowly spreading, and Fengtian Machinery Bureau was also working hard on research and development and manufacturing, in his opinion, it was still too slow.
As for the formula for the bitter acid, he had already arranged for someone to bring it back from abroad. Currently, this thing had not been used in explosives on a large scale. The success of the research would depend on the progress of the Fengtian Machinery Bureau, or he could exchange points directly.
Finally, a ripple appeared in the peaceful world.
The French army sent troops to recapture Annan (present-day Annan) and advanced to the northern region with successive victories.
Annan was originally a vassal state of Qing. Their king had to be conferred by the Qing court to be recognized.
As early as the second Opium War, France invaded the Indo-China Peninsula and swept through Annan and the southern part of Laos. In the 1870s, they even advanced north, but they were beaten back by the Annan army and Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army.
This time, they gathered their forces and swept through the Anxi army with lightning speed, approaching Liangshan, the border between Annan and the Qing Dynasty.
Just as Wang Guangxu's eyes began to focus on the situation in the south, the situation behind him began to turn chaotic.
Korea, Korea
"Defeat Consort Min! Return to the big shot of politics! Get out, you Japanese pig!"
"Defeat Consort Min! Return to the big shot of politics! Get out, you Japanese pig!"
A large group of starving soldiers and citizens began to gather. The crowd became more and more agitated. From the initial demonstration, it turned into burning, killing, and looting. They attacked the Japanese embassy and even broke into the palace, chasing the King of Koryo, Li Xi, and Consort Min out of the palace.
"Big shot! The situation was under control! The instigator of the mutiny invites you to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation!”
A tall and sturdy Korean general was reporting to Lee Xingying with a face full of joy. It was his right-hand man, Xu Yu.
"Have you caught Consort Min?"
At this moment, Li Ying Xing's face was also filled with excitement. He had been in the wilderness for many years, and this time, he had used the chaos to rise up again. It was inevitable that he couldn't help but sigh.
"That woman ran away! Moreover, she has some strength and has already begun to counterattack. You have to go back and take charge of the overall situation as soon as possible!”
Xu Yu thought for a moment and added.
"The rebels just attacked the Japanese embassy and killed many Japanese! No one from China went in!”
After saying that, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Humph! Shangguo? Is that country still qualified to be our suzerain? Contact the Japanese and ask them to send troops. After all, Li Xi was conferred the title by the Qing court. If they interfere, I won't be able to sit in that position!”
To Xu Yu's surprise, the big shot did say such a thing.
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Yu quickly contacted the Japanese envoy, Yi Zhi.
Consort Min of Goryeo used the excuse of "the king's personal rule" to launch a palace coup. The original ruling Xingxuan Grand Yuan Lord Lee Shiying (the father of King Lee Hee of Goryeo) was forced to retire. After that, King Lee Hee (Goryeo Gojong) was in power in name, but in fact, it was Concubine Min's group with the Min family of Lixing as the core that ruled Goryeo.
In fact, this time (Imjin Mutiny) was a power grab arranged by the Xingxuan Academy's Li Shi using the anger of the people.
On August 12th, Hanaya Yoshihiro, together with Army Major General Takashima Suyosuke and Navy Major General Ren Li Jingfan, led 5,000 soldiers to Koryo aggressively.
September 1: The Japanese army marched into Korea and occupied the Goryeo Palace. The Japanese took advantage of this incident to purge the pro-China officials in Korea and supported the pro-Japanese officials. They also threatened to expel the Chinese officials stationed in Korea. The big bowl lord, Lee Yingxing, also cooperated with them, but he did not dare to expel them for the time being.
"Humph! The Japanese actually dared to make a move! The opportunity to earn points has come!"
Wang Guangxu threw the memorial on the ground. He didn't remember such a thing at all. All he could remember about Koryo was the incident of the Eastern Learning Party and the subsequent Jiawu War.
"Little Shunzi! Inform the officials to attend court tomorrow!"
Wang Guangxu shouted. He had long since changed the daily morning assembly to once a week. Usually, if there was an urgent matter, he would just summon a few important figures over. However, he did not miss out on reading the memorials.
