Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 555 Gaozong Lixi
At this time, Zhang Jinghui, the commander of the 27th Division, came to Tang Yulin with smoke and fire, "Commander, our large troops have poured into Gyeongbokgung Palace from all directions. , some are real, some are fake, our troops were attacked by the other side as soon as we approached, what should we do?"

"Damn, can you still control so much now? Whether it's real or fake, we don't accept it. My goal is to keep no one and wipe them all out!" Tang Yulin committed the temper of Huzi back then. It has already become red-eyed to this extent.

"Okay, as long as you have the words of your army commander."

With the massive offensive of the Northeast Army, more and more white flags were raised in various enemy fortifications in the palace, but Tang Yulin had ordered first and refused to accept surrender at all. Seeing this situation, the enemy had no choice but to bite the bullet. With pointless resistance.

At this time, most of the enemy troops in the city have been wiped out, and there are only a few places in Gyeongbokgung Palace where there are still Japanese soldiers holding on to isolated buildings with a few ammunition. isolated island.

Tang Yulin led the team to the Hall of Kangning aggressively, and saw several corpses of North Koreans lying on the hall. After confirmation, it was known that Prime Minister Rhee Syngman was among them.There are two corpses beside the wooden table in the center of the main hall. They are Shigeru Honjo and Miyake Miyake. Both of them are wearing white samurai uniforms. There is a bloody gash on their stomachs. The internal organs are still slightly steaming. A pungent smell of blood filled the entire hall.

"Carry out the corpses of these people, send someone to keep them properly, and let the commander in person look over them later."

"Yes."

After dealing with the matter here, Tang Yulin brought people to Qinzheng Palace again, and said to the soldiers guarding here: "Is Gaozong Lixi here?"

"Yes. And some of his principal ministers."

Tang Yulin strode into the Hall of Qinzheng. This hall was designed and built after Chinese palaces, but it was much smaller in shape and not as luxurious as the main hall in the Forbidden City.But although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. In the middle is the Kowloon Danxi. There are two rows of red worship mats on both sides of the hall. Several ministers dressed in Korean official uniforms sit on the worship mats respectfully, looking at the front with expressionless faces. Like a dummy.On the throne sits an emperor who is about 40 years old. He is Li Xi, Emperor Gojong of the Korean Empire.

Li Xi is the second son of Li Shiying, the emperor of Xingxuan Dayuan, and his mother, the eldest wife of Lixing Mansion, Min's family.When Zhezong of Joseon died, he had no heirs, so Empress Zhao ordered Li Xi to join the successor emperor.After Gojong ascended the throne, for the first time in the Joseon Dynasty's 500-year history, the king's biological father, Daewon-gun, was alive and in charge of government affairs.After the Concubine Min Group took over the state affairs, the international and domestic situation was turbulent.The emperor of Dayuan returned to the government and went to the field, and the original cronies, subordinates and a large number of southerners lost their power.Therefore, An Jiyong, a former official of the Dayuanjun faction, and others took advantage of the Confucian scholars' concerns about the country and the people, and their enthusiasm to overthrow the Min's group and return the state affairs to Emperor Gaozong Li Xi.

In 1897, Emperor Gaozong announced that the name of the country would be changed to the Daehan Empire, the second year of Jianyang was changed to the first year of Guangwu, the king was changed to the emperor, the son of the king was changed to the crown prince, and Concubine Min was named the queen, and it was established in the Huanqiu and Huangqiongyu. Worshiping heaven and earth, however, is the prerogative of the Chinese emperor, and vassal states such as Korea, Ryukyu, and Vietnam are not qualified to worship heaven.This also shows that Li Xi intends to get rid of China's control politically.

Although Li Xi was only in his forties at this time, his hair was already gray and his face looked very old. Sitting there motionless, he looked like a dead person.

Tang Yulin shivered involuntarily, and wondered if he encountered a zombie today, why didn't this North Korean old man even blink, he looked scary.He pretended to cough twice, and shouted in a rough voice: "Hey, are you the emperor of Joseon?" , Naturally, you will not be polite when speaking.

After waiting for a while, Li Xicai said, "Are you an officer from China?"

Tang Yulin finally let go of his heart, saying that he is a living person, as long as he has a breath, I will not be afraid. He straightened his back and shouted: "Yes, I am Tang Yulin, the commander of the 1st Army of the Northeast Frontier Army of the Chinese Empire. All of you have occupied your Gyeongbokgung Palace, if you are sensible, get off that seat quickly, and I will take you to meet our commander-in-chief."

Tang Yulin thought that he would shock the other party by bluffing and frightening, but Li Xi suddenly laughed on his back, his voice was so sharp that it made people's eardrums sore and his heart trembled. "Shut up, what are you laughing at?"

After Li Xi smiled, with a ferocious and miserable expression on his face, he said: "I never thought that the Korean Empire would fall like this, and something that had never happened in a thousand years would happen to me today, Li Xi. Wei, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, haha" He laughed again, like crazy.

Tang Yulin only felt a burst of cold air coming from the back of his neck. He was unambiguous in the face of thousands of troops fighting and killing the enemy, but the situation at this time was so strange that even Tang Yulin, who was fearless, was a little scared. He closed his eyes and said forcefully: "Why are you laughing? Did you hear what I said? If you are sensible, come with me to meet our commander, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Li Xi suddenly suppressed his smile, stared at Tang Yulin's face and asked, "Let me ask you first, where is that bastard Li Chengwan now?"

"He died a long time ago. When we got here, he and the commander of the Kwantung Army Shigeru Honjo died in the Kangning Hall. Why do you ask this?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Xi looked out the door, his body trembling with excitement, and said: "It's them, it's them who ruined our great rivers and mountains in North Korea for nothing. Without them, this battle would have been impossible." If you can’t fight, it’s called evil will be rewarded with evil.”

Tang Yulin became impatient, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, what I said just now is very clear, leave here with me immediately, and go to see our commander-in-chief, as for how to deal with you, that is up to the commander-in-chief to decide. "As he spoke, he walked towards Li Xi with a pistol in his hand, as if he wanted to pull him off the throne with his own hands.

Li Xi was furious, and scolded: "Bastard! Back off! Can you come up to this place too?"

Tang Yulin didn't understand the situation, but felt that the other party's aura suddenly became strong, and his whole body gave off a sense of awe-inspiring inviolability, so he couldn't help but stop.

Li Xi pointed at Tang Yulin and cursed: "You are just a small Chinese officer, what are you, dare to speak rudely in front of my majestic emperor, your soldiers take you seriously, but I don't care at all!" Put you in my eyes, go back and tell your commander, unless the emperor of your empire comes here in person, otherwise I, Li Xi, will swear to the death that I will not leave this hall!"

Tang Yulin became angry immediately after being scolded so shamelessly by the other party. He didn't take this king of subjugation seriously at all. He raised his pistol and shouted at Li Xi: "I think you are I don’t want to live anymore! If you dare to call our emperor, you don’t need to see anyone, I will send you to heaven now.”

At this time, the few ministers who were sitting on the ground saw that the situation was not good, rushed over to grab Tang Yulin's pistol, and were kicked and knocked to the ground by the soldiers.Holding a pistol, Tang Yulin walked towards Li Xi step by step, his eyes radiated a fierce light!Li Xi watched without moving, and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, there was a loud roar from outside the hall, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, "Tang Yulin, put down the gun for me!"

Tang Yulin was taken aback, only felt that the voice was familiar, and when he looked back, he was stunned.

I saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the main hall, among them was a small general in full military uniform, his eyes were shining brightly, he was none other than Zhang Zuolin!Standing in front of Zhang Zuolin was a tall young man, dressed in a light yellow suit, with a well-groomed hair and hands behind his back, like Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi.

Tang Yulin hurriedly put down his pistol, and came over to salute Zhang Zuolin, "Marshal, why are you here? Do you need to do this yourself? This North Korean boy is disobedient. I will teach him a lesson."

"Pa", before he finished speaking, Zhang Zuolin was slapped heavily on the face. Zhang Zuolin pointed to his nose and cursed: "Mom has a scar, you are blind in both eyes, when will I let you touch others?" The gun is off, if Li Xi loses half a hair, I will be the first to kill you!" Zhang Zuolin turned his face to look at the young man in front of him, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's all because of my lack of strict governance. Missed your big business."

The emperor Tang Yulin felt his legs go limp, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, unable to utter a word.

This person is none other than Guan Xuqing.These days he has been concerned about the war in North Korea. Early this morning, Feng Xianghua came to report that the army had crossed the Taedong River and formed a siege around Pyongyang, which could be conquered in a few days. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but feel elated. Feng Xianghua said: "Yesterday, didn't you say that the North Korean Emperor Li Xi did not conspire with anyone? It is not too late. Prepare Air Force 1. I will board the plane and go to the front line of North Korea. I don't have to wait until the city of Pyongyang is broken. I will go to see him right away." Seeing Li Xi, I have something important to tell him."

At first Feng Xianghua thought that the emperor was acting on a whim, so he dissuaded him a few words, but unexpectedly the emperor suddenly turned his face down and said: "Xianghua, do you think my words are child's play?"

"No, no, I dare not."

"Okay, get ready, and then follow me to North Korea."

"twitter."

Therefore, Guan Xuqing took Feng Xianghua, Xu Shichang, Liu Buchan and others on Air Force No. 1. Under the protection of the Imperial Royal Special Aircraft formation, he took the lead to arrive at Fengtian Airport. After a short rest, he flew across the Yalu River to the northeast of the Datong River. Border Guard Command.After Zhang Zuolin heard the news, he hurriedly led a group of generals from the Northeast Army to pick him up. Just as Guan Xuqing got off the plane, he came to Zhang Zuolin with a smile and said, "Yuting, you have worked so hard. I am here to visit you and the frontline soldiers."

Zhang Zuolin and others knelt down and thanked each other.

At this time, the city of Pyongyang had been broken, the whole city was under martial law, and the soldiers had already occupied Gyeongbokgung Palace. Therefore, after a short rest, Guan Xuqing, accompanied by Zhang Zuolin and others, came to the Qinzheng Hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace, just in time for Tang Yulin's speech. The gun was going to kill Gaozong Lixi.
