Chapter 263 The War Song Begins
The cold noodles are soaked in cold soup, with a casual attitude.
Although it lacks green embellishments, there is red chili oil floating on the soup surface, and a few slices of braised beef are attractive in color.
When Xian Yubin picked up the cold noodles with chopsticks, the randomness disappeared immediately, like a lazy person who had been groomed and the cold noodles were neatly elongated.
The chewiness is just right, giving people the pleasure of conquering.
After one bite, sweet, sour and salty flavors bloom in your mouth.
Xian Yubin's eyes lit up: "Sir, what kind of noodles is this?"
Zhao Chuanxin ate in a hurry: "Cold noodles, a delicacy from Pingxiang, I heard it is what the poor eat."
The ingredients are not precious, and the soup making process is not complicated, but this thing is addictive.
Every year when the weather is hot, if Zhao Chuanxin doesn't eat a few bowls, he will be sorry for the summer.
Xian Yubin ate a bowl and was still unsatisfied. He secretly glanced at the basin from the corner of his eye.
Zhao Chuanxin put down his chopsticks: "I'll give you the rest."
Xian Yubin cheered and went to get the remaining noodles.
This little kid had a big belly and ate more than Zhao Chuanxin in this meal.
After Zhao Chuanxin finished eating the noodles, he moved the chair to the small courtyard and spread it out to bask in the sun.
Outside the low wall, Jindalai poked his head around, looking calm and charming when there was no wind.
This reminded Zhao Chuanxin of a Korean song named Jin Dalai.
Although it was sung by a woman, he once thought that the song was some kind of war song, but later he found out that it was just the opposite...
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Park Seung-yeol was still so angry.
"Mr. Zhao, it's bad, Ito Hirobumi brought someone into the palace..."
Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up.
But his tone was extremely angry: "This Ito Hirobumi is really outrageous. Hurry up and find your elder brother Park Seung-hwan and ask him to go to the weapons depot to get a gun. We are going to rebel."
Park Seung-yeol, who was still very excited, was stunned: "Rebellion?"
Zhao Chuanxin felt that he might be a little impatient and let the matter slip.
"Forget it, let's do this. Point me to the location of the weapons depot. Let's split up and remind your brother that Ito Hirobumi will disband the Korean army next."
After so many days, Park Seung-yeol finally saw the positive side from Zhao Chuanxin.
Although this was positive, it seemed to be different from what he and His Majesty had expected.
Zhao Chuanxin stood up and put on the clothes covering his body: "What are you doing standing around? Let's go."
Xian Yubin ran out: "Sir, I'm going too."
"Go to the streets, find your companions, and go together to gather information near the palace. Okay, let's go!"
Park Seung Yeol felt that Zhao Chuanxin's desire to go to the weapons depot was purely wishful thinking.
Because the Japanese army guarded the gate of the weapons depot, it was difficult for ordinary people to enter.
Park Seung-yeol took Zhao Chuanxin to the weapons depot and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't be impulsive. The Japanese army is too tightly defended and it will not work to break through."
"Okay, you go and inform your brother first, you have nothing to do here."
Zhao Chuanxin drove Park Seung-yeol away like a fly.
There were at least thirty Japanese soldiers at the gate of the weapons depot, and there must also be Japanese soldiers stationed in the courtyard.
Zhao Chuanxin circled back from a distance, activated his blue ghost armor and jumped onto the wall.
After a group of Japanese soldiers left on patrol, he jumped off the wall.
The weapons depot didn't even have a window. It was a Western-style building with a foundation one meter above the ground. It was built out of rocks.
Zhao Chuanxin was stunned when he saw the rock.
He took out the mud trowel glove from the secret place and tentatively pointed it at the rock foundation and pulled outward.
In this small world, the texture of time seems to speed up, time seems to lengthen, and rocks melt into sand without wind.
The red bricks on top cannot be shaken.
Further proof that mud trowel gloves only work on rocks and gravel with special compositions.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at his gloves and then at the rocks turned into gravel: "It's interesting."
Putting away his gloves, he got into the one meter square hole.
The weapons of the Korean army are, as Park Seung-yeol said, all kinds of weapons.
There is the Maozi Mosin Nagant, the Japanese Thirty-Style, and the British Lee Enfield...
He refused to accept anyone who came, and swept away the guns and ammunition on the weapons rack.
There were strict guards outside, but Zhao Chuanxin was scanning the goods inside carefully and confidently.
After scanning the goods, he bent down and got out of the square hole, jumped over the wall and left, rushing non-stop to the arsenal of the Japanese Army's Grand View Pavilion.
Daguanting Training Institute.
Instructor Yoshihisa Kajihara said to a group of officers: "Let the soldiers' weapons be temporarily returned to the warehouse and take a rest. I have something to say to you next."
The officers of the Korean Guards did not doubt that he was there, so they ordered the trained soldiers to return to the team.
However, when they arrived at the training academy empty-handed.
Kajihara Yoshihisa said: "Someone from the palace has come to announce a decree."
The person coming to the palace was naturally Li Wanyong.
Prime Minister Lee Wanyong came to Kajihara Yoshihisa's side with his hands behind his back. Kajihara Yoshihisa gave him a "reassuring" look. Therefore, Li Wanyong looked at Qiu Ba in front of him and slowly took out the imperial edict.
Among the crowd was Park Seung-yeol's brother, Park Seung-hwan.
Park Shenghuan felt a little uneasy when he saw that some Japanese soldiers with guns and live ammunition had gathered around him at some unknown time, and Li Wanyong suddenly appeared.
He thought of what his younger brother Park Seung Yeol said to him a few days ago.
I couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in my life.
Just listen to Li Wanyong say: "I am trying my best to save redundancy and make use of the welfare industry. This is today's urgent task. However, my current army is composed of mercenaries, so it is not enough to achieve consensus." Complete defense of the country. I plan to refresh the military system from now on and focus on cultivating non-commissioned officers. I will issue a conscription law in the future and have a consolidated military strength. Therefore, I have ordered the commander to remove all other matters except those necessary to select royal guards. Team. I take care of the accumulated hard work of your generals, and I will bestow favors on them according to their rank. Your generals will train the soldiers to obey my will, and each will do his job, and there will be no regrets."
The people present were immediately stunned.
What does it mean?
Does this mean that except for the emperor's bodyguards, all other troops and package guards have been disbanded?
The army that took several years and painstaking efforts to build was dispersed at the drop of a hat?
Only Park Shenghuan was on guard, but his heart sank.
Emotions like anger, unwillingness, anger, etc. go up and down.
Not to mention anyone else.
In disbelief, they did not believe that this was an edict issued by the emperor.
Unless Li Xi lost his mind and went crazy, otherwise, it must have been a decision forced by the Japanese.
Therefore, someone immediately jumped up and pointed at Li Wanyong: "Li Wanyong, are you forcing His Majesty?"
Li Wanyong felt guilty and took a step back.
After seeing Japanese soldiers holding guns all around him, he became bolder and said, "This is your Majesty's decision, and it has nothing to do with me. The order comes like a mountain, so I think you'd better obey your Majesty."
Park Seung-hwan said sadly: "Are you so anxious to see the demise of our Korean Empire? Now that the army is dispersed, what can Korea expect? What else can Your Majesty rely on?"
He probably knew that the situation was irreversible.
So he made a decision in his heart to regard death as home.
Li Wanyong put his hands behind his back: "Korea will not die. We, Korea, are Japan's protectorate. If there are foreign enemies, we can rely on the Japanese army to resist."
Next to him, Kajiwara Yoshihisa thought deeply: "Well, that's it. We, the Empire of Japan, will definitely protect you. Now, rest assured and go and collect your severance pay."
"Dismissal is nothing, I won't disband the army."
"Yes, unless His Majesty comes in person to announce this edict, it will be difficult for him to obey it!"
Kajiwara Yoshihisa said with a serious face: "You are disobeying orders and have violated military law. Do you want to go to jail?"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers approached with guns, staring eagerly.
Only then did a group of senior officers understand why Kajihara Yoshihisa had asked them to put down their weapons.
That was the original idea.
At this time, I am afraid even ordinary soldiers were disarmed and controlled.
Although I was filled with grief and anger, I was helpless.
Li Wan said with a cold face: "It's all gone."
Some people think that today's Korea may have been fully controlled by the Japanese army.
Feeling disheartened for a moment, he silently turned around and left the training academy.
There was a leader, and the rest dispersed with their own concerns.
Soon, news came out: Park Seung-hwan, captain of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Guards, shot himself.
This news that added fuel to the fire immediately ignited the resistance of the Korean Imperial Army.
Among them, Park Seung-yeol was the angriest.
When he heard that his brother had committed suicide by taking a bullet, he was furious. Thinking of Zhao Chuanxin's words telling him to be prepared, he didn't particularly care at first.
He didn't go to Park Seung-hwan today, but went to squat outside the palace because he couldn't worry about Li Xi.
He felt that he had already reminded Park Shenghuan many days ago, so there was no need to repeat it again.
But now the news of his brother's suicide has made him fully understand the reality.
Upon hearing that the captain was dead, the guards gathered spontaneously.
"Shenglie, you are the younger brother of the captain. We are going to rob the Japanese weapons depot at Daguanting and kill the Japanese. Do you want to come with us?"
With tears in his eyes, Park Seung-yeol gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go together!"
A total of five to six hundred people rushed to the Daguanting weapons depot with all kinds of weapons that could be found so far.
Kajihara Yoshihisa was also worried that the Korean soldiers would cause rebellion, but without weapons they were like beasts without claws. Kajihara Yoshihisa only needed to defend the weapons depot.
The Guards Armory has heavy weapon handles, but the Daguanting Armory has fewer firearms, so there are not many guards here.
When Park Seung-yeol and the others arrived outside the Daikantei weapons depot, Kajiwara Yoshihisa said sternly: "Do you want to cause chaos? You are now civilians, why don't you retreat quickly?"
Someone shouted: "Charge the weapons depot, avenge the captain, and drive away the Japanese!"
Hundreds of Wuyangyang people, relying on their numerical advantage and the personal weapons in the hands of some individuals, rushed to the weapons depot.
Upon seeing this, Kajihara Yoshihisa directly ordered the Japanese soldiers to shoot.
Bang bang bang...
There are not many Japanese troops guarding here, only about thirty or forty people.
But each one holds a gun, backed by an arsenal with plenty of ammunition, and most importantly, a machine gun, a powerful weapon.
Immediately, the Korean soldiers in the guard team were killed and all of them fell on their backs.
Park Seung-yeol was ready to die. He held a mirror box in his hand and shot while charging.
But the distance is too far and there is no effective killing effect.
He saw that the Japanese soldier operating the machine gun had pointed the muzzle of the machine gun at him.
He gritted his teeth and was not prepared to retreat.
The worst case scenario is death.
At this moment, the sound of machine gunfire suddenly occurred behind the Japanese army.
Tata Tata...
Dozens of Japanese soldiers were hiding well behind the bunker, and they only needed to shoot and kill people.
The sudden "backstab" caught them off guard.
Suddenly blood flowed into a river.
The Korean soldiers who attacked the arsenal were also stunned.
what's the situation?
Did the Japanese do it themselves?
But Park Seung-yeol had an idea and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face: "It's the God of War, it must be the God of War!"
The colleague was confused: "What God of War?"
Park Seung-yeol held the mirror box, pointed at the sky, and said excitedly: "It's the God of War Zhao Chuanxin, the God of War on the Rooftop Zhao Wudi!"
The colleague's spirit perked up.
His reaction was even more exaggerated than Park Seung-yeol's, and he shouted to everyone around him: "That's Zhao Chuanxin, the God of War, Zhao Chuanxin, the God of War of the Qing Dynasty!"
This sentence spread faster than the plague, spreading throughout the entire audience in an instant.
The Japanese machine guns were knocked out first, and before they could turn their guns, most of them were killed or injured.
No longer afraid of death, Park Seung-yeol and others charged forward, and Zhao Chuanxin attacked the Japanese from both front and back.
If we only deal with the guards, although the number of Japanese troops is small, the pressure will not be great.
However, Zhao Chuanxin attacked from behind, and the situation took a turn for the worse. The Japanese troops were beaten without care.
Zhao Chuanxin held Madsen in one hand with his right arm and waved with his left hand. The rocks on the wall turned into sand, spinning like a tornado to form a stone wall in front of him.
There was an opening in the center of the stone wall. He placed the barrel of the Madsen machine gun on it, controlled the stone wall to move forward with his left hand, blocked the bullets, and pushed directly through it.
Japanese Captain Kajiwara Yoshihisa became anxious and shouted: "Jump out of the bunker, those guards with less guns, first resist this person behind."
The bunker could only block one side. The firepower of the guardsmen who had lost their weapons was not as fierce as Zhao Chuanxin who was using a machine gun alone.
Thanks to his timely response, otherwise this manpower would have been lost in Zhao Chuanxin's hands.
A Japanese soldier shouted: "What is that in front of that man? Is he pushing a wall?"
"Bullets can't penetrate!"
"Oops, he pushed over."
"The guards also rushed over."
Kajihara Yoshihisa gritted his teeth: "Follow me and retreat!"
At this time, even if they fight to the death, they cannot change the fate of the entire army being annihilated.
The best choice is to leave and temporarily save your life.
Kajiwara Yoshihisa took the lead by sticking to the wall, the others followed, and the last person broke off.
It must be said that the Japanese have excellent military qualities. They remain calm in the face of danger and escape in an orderly manner.
Zhao Chuanxin saw that there was only one Japanese soldier left who was shouting at him with a rifle.
Turning the muzzle of the gun, he beat the door frame to pieces.
The Japanese soldier also hurt his eyes from the flying bricks. He wailed and threw away his gun.
At this time, the guards also rushed forward. Park Shengyeol was the first to bear the brunt and jumped up and kicked him.
This kick was delivered with hatred and accurately hit the Japanese soldier's head, forcing the back of the Japanese soldier's head to hit the wall. He fell to the ground without a word, his body twitched several times and stopped breathing.
Everyone looked into the arsenal courtyard.
Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand, and the stone wall in front of him collapsed, turning into sand and scattering on the ground.
This hand calmed everyone down.
How did you do it?
And Zhao Chuanxin adjusted his glasses and waved to them: "Axi, Ba Laduo..."
Everyone: "..."
Park Seung-yeol stepped forward quickly, his eyes red: "Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Chuanxin put the area behind the Madsen machine gun magazine that was not hot on his shoulder and said cheerfully: "How about it, have you told your brother?"
These words instantly broke Park Seung-yeol's guard.
He choked and said, "I mentioned it before, but earlier I was worried about His Majesty's safety and was in Qingyun Palace. My brother, he, he committed suicide out of grief and anger."
Zhao Chuanxin's smile suddenly stopped.
Very naturally, it turned into sadness and anger: "Captain Park died a great death. He sacrificed himself in order to awaken our Korean compatriots. We cannot let Captain Park die in vain!"
With that said, Zhao Chuanxin came to a group of guards with glaring eyes.
Among these people, some have heard of his reputation, and some have not.
For those who have never heard of it, looking at those pairs of adoring eyes, I know that the person in front of me must be extraordinary.
Therefore, they all stared at Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Chuanxin came to the Grand View Pavilion.
He pointed with his hand, and the whole city of Seoul was moving and shrinking under his fingers.
His eyes passed over the angry, confused, and frightened faces.
His voice resounded throughout the Grand View Pavilion: "Today, Zhao will lead you to plow every piece of land in Seoul with guns and cannons. Wherever there are Japanese, I will make sure there is no grass growing there!"
Zhao Chuanxin's voice is very contagious.
Everyone's breathing began to become heavier.
Zhao Chuanxin pointed at himself again: "My name is Zhao Chuanxin, does anyone know me?"
"Yes, you are the God of War!"
A guard soldier shouted.
"Haha, yes, I am the God of War. Zhao asked you, do you dare to fight alongside the God of War?"
"dare!"
Zhao Chuanxin looked solemn: "Okay, now go to the weapons depot to get the equipment. I will give you five minutes to come out and assemble. We will not wait if it is late."
Park Seung-yeol took the lead and ran towards the weapons depot.
Those who admired Zhao Chuanxin were already carried away by their passion and ran after him.
The rest of the people who don't understand Zhao Chuanxin can only follow the crowd.
After they left, Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his fist: "Oh yeah!"
Going around in circles, spreading rumors and provoking, isn't it just for this scene?
His timing was just right.
If there is no one to lead these people, they will be in disarray.
Soon, they will be drowned in the Japanese gunfire.
Zhao Chuanxin didn't feel any guilt for taking them to death.
When everyone got their weapons, they gathered again.
Park Shengyeol looked at Zhao Chuanxin eagerly: "Mr. Zhao, what should we do next?"
"Next, I will lead you to win two battles first. Then, we will go find other guards. We will integrate all the troops and fight the Japanese."
These people were originally going to rebel against the Japanese, so how could they still hesitate?
Then, the spring breeze blew and war songs began.
Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Axi, little Japan, destroy them!"
Kajihara Yoshihisa and the remaining soldiers ran and jogged, and finally met a group of Japanese soldiers who came after hearing the sound of gunfire.
Kajiwara Yoshihisa said angrily: "The Korean Guards have rebelled. Bring your men and fight back with me!"
"Hai."
He is an instructor in the Korean army. As a teacher, he was beaten by his students. Can he not be angry?
Well now, our own army is here.
As a result, the bereaved dog suddenly transformed into a ferocious tiger.
At this time, Japan had a division in South Korea with a strength of nearly 20,000.
Order of battle, there are four infantry regiments.
But the forces are not concentrated.
What Kajihara Yoshihisa encountered was only a squadron of about 200 people.
And, this is his squadron.
Despite the small number of people, they have sophisticated weapons and high fighting qualities.
Kajihara Yoshihisa was confident that he could rely on these people to compete with the guards.
He led the squadron and just walked back a mile when he encountered the guards who were also coming this way.
When the enemies on both sides met, they were extremely jealous and directly refuted their anger.
