Master Yuan, start!

His body trembled in the cold wind like a fallen leaf, and finally, he fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

Xu Zaibi gathered around him, looked at his body and sneered, "Did you think you could escape?"

He kicked Brother Liu's body away, turned and went into the city, leaving Brother Liu lying alone in the cold winter night.

Xu Zaibi didn't want to search for another Qing soldier. The most important thing at the moment was to quickly launch a riot among the Korean new army in the city.

Only by creating chaos can we catch the Qing troops off guard.

In the ruined village, after a long while, hearing the sounds of the pursuers gradually disappear in the night sky, Wang San slowly climbed out of the well pulling the rope.

He ran towards the military camp without looking back.

:5! 6 dead. Beer Sui Taya h fee t:

According to regulations, the new Korean army was not allowed to carry weapons on weekdays. Except for the dozens of guards guarding the royal palace, the troops stationed in Seoul were not allowed to carry weapons on weekdays and could only hold long guns for show.

Only the Qing army could patrol the city with live ammunition.

The most important thing at the moment is the arsenal. As soon as Xu Zaibi entered the city, he sent people to the barracks to spread the news of today's uprising.

He took a dozen people with him, carrying smuggled guns and planned to storm the armory.

"What's going on? Which... battalion are these brothers from? Why didn't anyone notify us?" The Qing soldiers guarding the armory were dumbfounded, staring at the dozen or so guns pointed at their heads.

Before he could understand what was happening, these soldiers who appeared out of nowhere kicked open the warehouse door like bandits, even taking away the muskets and swords in the armory, and then rushed all the way to the center of Seoul.

Tonight in Seoul is destined to be a sleepless night!

...

It was late at night when Yuan Xiangcheng learned the news. He knew very well that Seoul was not a safe place.

Wang San blurted out everything he had heard from the five members of the Jiashen Coup.

Yuan Xiangcheng was silent for a moment after hearing this.

However, he adjusted himself immediately and issued the latest instructions immediately.

In a hurry, the enemy attacked at night, and if the Qing soldiers were not careful, they might be completely wiped out.

The main reason was that he didn't expect the Jiashen coup to happen earlier. Wasn't it on October 17th of the Jiashen year? How could the chaos start on October 9th?

Without thinking too much, he sent his men to the Qing army camp in Seoul to pass on the order.

All troops were to evacuate Seoul to await reinforcements.

We will discuss the counterattack after he brings new troops from Incheon.

On the way to Incheon, Yuan Xiangcheng thought about what Wang San had told him, and for the first time he began to doubt what he was going to do.

How similar were the things that Kim Ok-gyun, Hong Young-sik and others did for the independence of Korea and the people of the Xinhai Revolution in the future?

As if seeing his worry, his subordinate Ming Ye said to Yuan Xiangcheng beside him:

"Sir, the rebels are allying with Japan to expel the Qing Dynasty. This is truly an act of forgetting one's roots. Our Korea has been invaded many times by the Japanese. For more than a decade, the Korean people have been repeatedly oppressed by the Japanese, and the people of Seoul dare not speak out."

"For people with such wicked ambitions, the alliance with Japan to expel the Qing Dynasty is nothing more than a slogan. If they really let the Japanese army into the country, the Korean people will be doomed!"

Yuan Xiangcheng's eyes gradually became clear. Yes, whether North Korea is good or not depends on who it is.

Who can represent the interests of the vast majority of the North Korean people?

Are they the descendants of the Yangban nobles, or the Korean people living on this 3,000-mile land?

Were the actions of the five members of the Gapsin Coup really right?

Are the Korean people demanding the expulsion of the Qing Dynasty or the expulsion of Japan?

Sometimes the common people did not hate the Qing soldiers, nor did they hate the Japanese. Or perhaps it could be said that they hated both the Qing and the Japanese, and even more so the Korean officials who held high positions and could not consider the interests of the common people.

What they hate is this chaotic world.

What they want is to have enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation. What they want is to end the war and bring peace to the world.

As long as they can do this, they don’t care whether it is the Qing Dynasty or Japan above them.

The five people who planned the rebellion were at least descendants of fallen nobles and had lived a life of luxury since childhood.

Those who had extra wealth, such as the brothers Xu Guangfan and Xu Zaibi, even traveled to Japan to study. How could they have ever experienced the suffering of the people?

Is the North Korean independence they want really the independence that the lower-class people of North Korea want?

But what happened in the original time and space had already destined them to be nothing but wishful thinking.

With the protection of the Qing Dynasty, North Korea was still able to maintain the framework of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

The Qing Dynasty was defeated overnight, and Korea was immediately controlled by Japan, but was annexed within a few years.

Men were enslaved and forced to work in mines and factories until they died.

The women became tools for the beastly Japanese soldiers to vent their anger, and spent their days receiving guests in a five-foot square comfort room.

Is this the future of North Korea that these Korean independence advocates want?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiangcheng felt that he needed to reverse the overall situation of the unrest in Korea.

Turn North Korea into a truly magnificent land of 3,000 miles.

Chapter 11 Seoul Reorganization!

"boom!"

Listening to the occasional gunshots coming from the city, Yuan Xiangcheng looked at the pocket watch in his hand with a serious expression.

It took about two hours to rush to the Incheon recruit camp to gather new troops, and then lead the troops to Seoul.

It took the Korean rebels just over an hour to launch an uprising, rush from Jogyesa Temple to Seoul, contact the Korean New Army in Seoul, and wreak havoc in Seoul.

At this moment, the scene inside the city was extremely tragic, with smoke and dust everywhere, and brick and stone debris flying in the air.

The streets were filled with an air of death, and rebel soldiers of the Korean New Army were wreaking havoc in the city.

Hundreds of die-hard New Army supporters of the coup quintet, including Kim Ok-gyun, led by brothers Seo Kwang-hwan and Seo Jae-pil, broke into the residences of ministers of the Ser-eti faction one after another and carried out targeted elimination.

Xu Zaibi first led a team of new troops and rushed into the residence of Min Taihao, a minister of the Sida faction.

He completely ignored the servants' attempts to stop him at the door.

“砰”两枪1便将看0门的仆役打0死，闯进7府内，6目标直9指后1院的闵台4镐。36

It was now late at night. Everyone in the mansion heard noises coming from the door. Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard the footsteps of a large group of people rushing into the mansion.

The timid ones even locked their doors tightly and dared not make a sound, for fear of losing their lives.

Xu Zaibi rushed straight to the backyard, dragged the minister of the Sida faction, Min Taihao, off the bed, and brought him to the door of Min's mansion.

Regardless of Min Tae-ho's kneeling begging for mercy, he was killed naked.

This man was a powerful official of the Joseon imperial family and the nephew of Queen Min, the aunt of the current King Gojong of Joseon. Now he was humiliated and killed in such a way.

In troubled times, people are worse than dogs.

But the turmoil was not over. The new army's big movement and unscrupulous intrusion into the minister's residence directly awakened the entire Seoul.

Xu Zaibi and others may not have intended to burn, kill or loot, but the ruffians in the city had already taken action when they saw this opportunity.

The so-called "Japanese friends" who participated in the uprising also took the opportunity to break into the houses of North Korean people one after another with knives and pistols.

The wailing sounds that occasionally sounded over Seoul tore apart the prosperity of this city on the banks of the Han River that had been open for more than ten years.

Countless people were awakened by the loud noise. Some began to pack up their belongings and prepare to escape, while some took advantage of the chaos to join the rebels and fish in troubled waters. Incidents of looting, smashing, burning, and abuse also occurred frequently.

More ordinary people were holding their children and families, hiding behind thin door panels, shivering helplessly.

Outside Seoul.

The more than 2000 people behind him are the hard work of Yuan Xiangcheng during this period of time.

Some of the troops were transferred from the former Qing army camps by using their power, some were to take in poor Korean people, and more were disaster-stricken refugees recruited from the Chinese land.

After several months of training and ideological education by Ma Xiangbo, and years of Yuan Xiangcheng personally paying salaries and sending food to his home.

Although these four battalions of more than 2000 troops were nominally the Qing army, in reality, no one except Yuan Shikai could mobilize them.

Looking at the Hanyang City in front of them, everyone already knew what had happened, so all eyes were focused on the figure in the distance.

Two revolvers were tied to the outside of his thighs. He did not wear the common official boots of the Qing Dynasty, but instead used leggings to protect his legs tightly.

Under the moonlight, Yuan Xiangcheng, who is only 160cm tall, gives people a sense of grandeur and uprightness.

It seems as if he is the white jade pillar supporting the sky and the purple gold beam spanning the sea in the current chaos in North Korea!

"stand at attention!"

Ming Ye shouted loudly, and all the soldiers reflexively put their legs together. Even Ma Xiangbo, who had only been there for a month, was infected and involuntarily straightened his back behind Yuan Xiangcheng.

More than 2000 people were silent. Even the commander of the fourth battalion did not dare to say a word. Everyone was waiting.

Yuan Shikai did not look back immediately, but continued to look at Hanyang City, the constant gunshots and the rising smoke.

He listened to the screams coming from the city with a solemn expression, his heart filled with anger and sadness. He was heartbroken for the suffering of the Korean people.

But they also knew that this was the ordeal they had to go through at this moment.

Without this battle, countless people in Korea would still have had illusions about the Enlightenment Party and the Japanese.

Only when this rebellion killed and robbed them, could they wake up briefly and know who could give them shelter.

"Everyone, today the Korean rebels are causing chaos. Although you are not Korean citizens, if you do not save the Korean people today, how can we save the people of the world in the future?

Yuan Xiangcheng slowly walked to the center of the battle formation, his eyes swept over the faces of each soldier, and he spoke slowly in a heavy tone:

"Some of you are refugees from Beijing, Tianjin, Korea, and other places, and some of you are brothers from the Qing Camp, led by Lord Wu Changqing. I want to ask you, if your brothers and sisters suffered this disaster, could you endure it?"

"cannot!"

"Commanders, I know some of you are excited," Yuan Xiangcheng said loudly, his voice clear and firm, echoing throughout the army. "I also know that some of you have never been on a battlefield and are afraid. You may feel helpless and terrified."

"But it takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to deploy it."

He paused, his eyes scanning each soldier's face, letting them see his unwavering resolve.

"Remember, we are the army of justice. Suppressing rebellions and chaos has been a natural right since ancient times. We will suppress rebellions for our country and eliminate disasters and chaos!"

Duan Qirui, the commander of the first battalion, was the first to speak up and shout, "Suppress the rebellion for the country, eliminate the disaster and chaos!"
