"Oh, General, you've had a tough journey. The situation in the lower country is chaotic. I didn't know that General had arrived.”
When Li Xingying saw Yuan Shikai directly enter, he secretly cursed those guards for being useless and quickly welcomed him with a smile.
However, he didn't think about it. Korea had always been a vassal country. They weren't attacking with a large army. Without his orders, how could they dare to stop the emissary?
"Headmaster, I am here by the Emperor's decree to resolve the internal strife in Koryo. They had already seen rebel soldiers on the way here, and there were Japanese soldiers here. What was going on? You actually dare to use force against my army."
Yuan Shikai did not respond to his words at all, looking like a second-generation heir.
Li Xingying looked embarrassed, but when he saw Yuan Shikai's arrogant appearance, he was relieved."Please calm down, the rebels colluded with the rebels to drive away the king. They even occupied Han City before.”
"Like this? I don't care who becomes the emperor, the decree I received is to guard against the Japanese! Come to the camp in three days to receive the decree. You fill in your name and bring 300,000 taels of silver. We also want a port for the garrison and to monitor the movements of the Japanese.”Yuan Shikai said casually.
I will naturally follow the orders of the Great Heaven Dynasty. One hundred thousand taels of silver will be sent to your military camp tomorrow! You can choose whether you want the port in Busan or Jeju Island, but those Japanese outside the city-"
The big-shot was overjoyed. It seemed that he had secured the throne. A mere 300,000 taels of silver was enough to buy a throne, and it was a legitimate one. He was naturally extremely excited.
As for the military port, he didn't care at all. The Qing Dynasty originally had a monarch stationed here, but they didn't do anything before. Looking at this young officer, he was also a greedy person. In the future, he would just feed him with money.
"Alright, it's a deal. As for the Japanese, I'll tell them to scram in the next few days. As for the quality of the silver, it must be sufficient.”
Yuan Shikai had the appearance of a second generation heir, but his heart was greatly reassured.
If he didn't show it, he could just let this idiot go to the camp and take it down. He would even earn 300,000 taels for nothing.
"Good, good, good! The silver and the procedures for ceding the island would be delivered tomorrow.”The big-shot was in a good mood, and he was no longer as uneasy as before.
…………
Within the Japanese camp.
Yamamoto, Takashima, retreat to Japan immediately!“
Yi Zhi shouted as he ran into the tent, panting.
"Why? Didn't they say to wait and see?“
Takashima Suinosuke did not understand what was going on. Why was there a sudden change?
"The Qing Kingdom has already agreed to confer the title of the king. The forces of Korea have all sided with them. We have no chance. We must retreat immediately!" He would come again when the Empire was ready.“
He had already placed a portion of people in the palace, so he had received the news immediately and rushed over.
"Us!“
Takashima Suinosuke was unwilling and wanted to fight for something more.
"This is an order! Do you want the warriors of the Japanese Imperial Army to die here for nothing? We didn't bring many cannons this time, so we're no match for the Qing army.“
Yi Zhi's expression changed as he shouted.
"Ha Yi!“
He bowed deeply and immediately began to make arrangements.
a quarter of an hour later
"Boom! Boom! Boom!“
A series of explosions sounded out as countless artillery shells exploded in the Japanese camp.
At this moment, the Japanese army had already begun to assemble, and a portion of the soldiers had already left the camp. However, the Japanese soldiers in the camp were in a terrible state. The dense formation made it difficult for them to dodge. When the bullets landed on the crowd, they fell.
Even though it was filled with black gunpowder, there were many steel balls and metal plates. The powerful impact caused these things to scatter and shoot into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
"Not good! The Qing army was here!“
Although the Japanese soldiers were well-trained, they started to fire at random.
"Baka! All of you, calm down!“
Takashima Suinosuke immediately ordered his personal troops to go up and try to ease the situation.
" Takashima, take your men and leave immediately. Don't worry about this place. If this continues, the entire army will be wiped out.“
Yi Zhi rushed out of nowhere. His left arm had been blown off and his face was pale.
