"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 Kai enter directly, he cursed the guards in his heart for being useless and hurriedly welcomed him with a smile.
However, he didn't think about it. The Koreans had always considered themselves as a vassal country, and they weren't attacking with a large army. Without his orders, how could those people dare to stop the emissaries?
"Headmaster, I am here to resolve the internal strife in Korea under the Emperor's orders. They had already seen rebel soldiers everywhere along the way. There were also Japanese soldiers here. What was going on? You actually dare to use force against my army."
Yuan Kai did not respond to his words at all, acting like a spoiled brat.
Li Xingying looked embarrassed, but when he saw Yuan Kai's arrogant appearance, he felt 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 is the emperor. The order I received is to guard against the Japanese! Come to the military 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 convenience of garrisoning troops and monitoring the movements of the Japanese army.”Yuan Kai said casually.
"I will follow the Great Heaven Dynasty's orders. I will send 100,000 taels of silver to your camp tomorrow! You can choose whether you want the port in Busan or Jeju Island, but those Japanese people outside the city-"
The big-shot was overjoyed. It seemed that he was going to be the king. He had bought the throne for a mere 300,000 taels of silver, and it was legitimate. He was naturally very excited to be conferred the throne.
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 get lost in the next few days. As for the quality of the silver, it must be sufficient.”
Yuan Kai had the appearance of a spoilt child, 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.
"Sugimoto-kun, Takashimay-kun, retreat immediately and return to Japan!”
Yi Zhi shouted as he ran into the tent, panting.
"Why, Hua Fangjun? Didn't you say to wait and see?"
"The Qing Kingdom has already agreed to confer the title of King to the big shot. The Korean forces 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 brave soldiers of the Japanese Imperial Army to die here in vain? 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.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a violent explosion, and countless shells exploded in the camp of the Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese army had already begun to assemble, and a portion of the soldiers had withdrawn from the camp. However, the Japanese soldiers who were still in the camp were miserable. The dense formation made it difficult for them to dodge. When the shells landed in the crowd, they fell.
Although it was filled with black gunpowder, there were many steel balls and iron sheets. The powerful impact caused these things to scatter and shoot into the Japanese soldiers 'bodies.
"Not good! The Qing army is here!"
Although the Japanese army was well-trained, they also started to blow up the camp. They didn't just run around and start firing randomly.
"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, we'll all be wiped out.”
Yi Zhi rushed out of nowhere. His left arm had been blown off and his face was pale.
