Although North Korea was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, all the people in the North Korean palace, including Li Yin, were immediately frightened when they heard that the Huru cavalry was coming. Subconsciously, I thought that it was here to kill me!
Li Yan's beloved concubine Zhang Yuzhen reacted the fastest and was the first to shout: "Your Majesty, run away, the barbarians are coming!"
Li Yan was so frightened that he couldn't distinguish between east, west and north. He never thought that those Qing cavalry were sent by his "Kang Mazi stepfather" to protect him... Although Kang Mazi was greedy and shady, "Stepfather", but he still "loves" Li Yan.
In the past two years, Li Yan gave "Kang Mazi"'s stepfather at least 20,000 gun barrels, 100,000 taels of silver, 1 million stones of rice, and 20,000 young women.
This son is so filial, how could Dad Kang not love him?
It's a pity that Li Yan can't understand Kangxi's "fatherly love" at all. Now he is thinking about Zhu Heji, the "bad father", and thinks that the current Ming Dynasty is as easy to talk to as the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period!
Li Yan, who didn't know that his "father" was evil, was led in a confused way towards his end step by step.
After walking not far, they walked out of a gate and entered a huge courtyard. Then they saw a large group of Manchu and Qing cavalry wearing horse jackets and warm hats approaching.
"Hu, Hu, Hu cavalry...help!"
A girl from the palace named Zhang Yuzhen, whom Li Yan liked very much, was the quickest to react among all the people. She shouted when she saw the oncoming cavalry.
Li Yan doesn't know what to do anymore? He was obviously hiding from the Qing soldiers, so why did he meet them head-on? Could it be that he, like his grandfather, King Hyojong, would be captured and taken as a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty?
"Bah, bah, bah..."
At this moment, a deafening gunshot suddenly rang in Li Yan's ears. It turned out that several Confucian disciples pretending to be three-hand army archers picked up the flintlock guns in their hands and opened fire.
However, the marksmanship of these guys didn't look very good. They fought for a while, but they didn't seem to kill many Qing soldiers. But when those Qing soldiers saw the fierce firepower ahead, they also hurriedly retreated. . Then they got off their horses and relied on a palace. They also took out their muskets and fought with the Confucian disciples.
In the past two years, Kangxi spent a lot of energy to equip his army with flintlock muskets. The Qing troops stationed in Wangjing, North Korea, were related to the Qing Dynasty's face, so naturally they were equipped with flintlock muskets, and they were cavalry guns with relatively short barrels.
However, the marksmanship of these veterans is not very good either. They are all wearing vests and are old. They don't pay much attention to muskets and prefer archery. The muskets from both sides started to fight back and forth in North Korea's Changdeok Palace!
Moreover, the two groups of people were fighting back and forth so lively that for a moment, they actually forgot that a North Korean king was already in the midst of a hail of bullets...
Li Yan and the palace attendant Zhang Yuzhen were walking in the front position just now. When the gunfire rang out, the chamberlain and palace guarding them, as well as Princess Jin, all took a dozen steps back, but they were completely forgotten.
Both of them were cowards, and when they found out they were in a hail of bullets, they collapsed on the ground in fear. Let alone running, he couldn't even crawl.
And the palace servant Zhang Yuzhen who was with Li Yin didn't need to use her graceful body to block Li Yin's bullets at this time. Moreover, he was hiding behind Li Yan. He was using the King of Korea as a human shield!
Seeing this ruthless and unjust woman, Emperor Hu De was so angry!
Holding a flintlock rifle in his hand, he aimed again and again, but couldn't find the opportunity to fire - it was blocked!
At this moment, Queen Jin's voice suddenly sounded: "Your Highness, come over quickly..."
Li Yan, who was frightened and stunned, reacted immediately, turned over and climbed on top of Zhang Yuzhen. His movements were quite skillful, but his posture looked a bit wrong.
Just when Li Yan had just climbed over Zhang Yuzhen's body and wanted to move to a safer place, his head was suddenly hit by something unknown... and then it broke! It was quite badly damaged, with a hole on the forehead and a big hole on the back of the head. The pink, tender and warm brains spurted out immediately, splashing all over Zhang Yuzhen's face.
The woman didn't know what was going on. She touched her hand and it was slippery. Just when she was thinking about what it was, the body of the North Korean King Li Yin had already collapsed to the ground with a thud. He was not dead yet, and his hands and feet seemed to have been electrocuted. After a few twitches, he completely lost his breath.
Zhang Yuzhen also reacted and let out a piercing scream: "Ah... the king passed away, the king was killed by the Qing people with muskets! The king! The king..."
As soon as she shouted, the Koreans who were firing collapsed. They originally wanted to perform a rescue mission, "rescuing" the good Korean king from his palace and sending it to the Ming army.
Now this king was actually shot to death by the Qing army, but what should we do?
When they were confused, Emperor Hu De was still relatively calm and shouted: "The king is dead, run away!"
After shouting, he took the lead and ran away, and a dozen investigators from the Ming Dynasty's Military Advisor's Office who followed him also ran together, shouting as they ran: "The king is dead, run quickly! He has been cleared." The soldiers are dead, run away..."
As soon as they ran away, those Korean Confucian disciples did not dare to fight anymore - the Qing Dynasty's heavenly soldiers were so powerful that they killed their king in one strike. Forget it...it was better to escape!
As a result, the two to three hundred people dressed as North Korean "third-hand troops" dispersed in a hurry and fled for their lives. No one even paid attention to Li Zhen's body and Zhang Yuzhen lying on the ground.
This style... looks exactly the same as the real third-hand army under the supervision of the training capital!
As soon as the North Koreans dispersed, Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong over there were also a little confused...What happened? Why did he encounter a group of North Korean soldiers who shot at him as soon as he entered Changdeokgung Palace, and killed several old brothers? Then the two sides fought well, and the Koreans dispersed again with howls.
What is this for?
Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong still felt that there might be a scam and did not dare to rush forward directly. Instead, they sent a subordinate to investigate.
As a result, the man ran back shouting after a while.
"Great victory, great victory..."
A great victory?
Deng Guangming glared: "What are you shouting for? Where is the great victory?"
"Sir, what a great victory... I killed the leader of the thieves!"
"The leader of the thief?" Yu Chenglong asked, "How do you know he is the leader of the thief?"
"Because the leader of the thief who was shot was wearing a python robe of a Ming Dynasty prince, and there were two women crying beside him!"
"What?"
"That is......"
Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong were a little panicked. The python robe of the prince of the Ming Dynasty... This is the king of North Korea!
There are two women crying... The beautiful women in Changdeok Palace all belong to the King of Joseon! Could it be that the King of Korea was really killed?
Thinking of this, the two people rushed out from behind a palace where they were hiding, and rushed to a pile of corpses. Then they saw Princess Jin holding the corpse of North Korean King Li Yin and crying so hard.
There was also a palace man with blood on his face sitting on the ground crying.
Although Li Yan's head was disfigured and his face had lost its original shape, the clothes he wore were indeed the python robes of the King of Joseon.
And the princess Kim's clothes are also extremely gorgeous, and you can tell she is a noble person at a glance.
"It's over, it's over, let's kill the King of Korea!" Yu Chenglong was already panicking, "How can I explain this?"
Yes, Kangxi asked them to serve as supervisors and supervisors of the country. It was good for them, but it was not a good thing if the country did not supervise the country. They even shot the king in the head!
No matter how you say this, it makes no sense!
"Don't be afraid...the king of North Korea doesn't have a son yet!" Deng Guangming gritted his teeth, "It seems he doesn't have any brothers, right?"
"No," Yu Chenglong said, "His father gave birth to a son. Although his grandfather had three sons, two of them died young, and only his father grew up. His great-grandfather had two sons, and they both live together now. In Seoul.
In addition, there are some sinners of the Joseon royal family on Ganghwa Island, including the descendants of Prince Sohyun, the eldest son of Joseon Injo! "
Deng Guangming immediately came up with an idea: "Go to Ganghwa Island quickly... Seoul is already in chaos, and we may not be able to find the two North Korean princes. It may not be too late to go to Ganghwa Island now!"
He paused, pointed to Princess Jin, and whispered: "Take this woman with you... She is a witness. This incident happened because of the rebellion of King Tongming of North Korea. We are here To counter the rebellion!”
