I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 662 Why are we the ones who fail?

Jin Chengyi's eyes were about to burst.

what happened?

He knew the man who shot Kim Hyo-won, the deputy commander of the second battalion under him, his old brother. The one who directed the musketeers to open fire was a platoon leader of the second battalion.

Are they crazy?
Jin Cheng turned his head one by one and suddenly saw Quan Chenghuan with a cold face, pointing a short gun at him, and the black muzzle of the gun was right in front of him.

"you-!"

boom!
There was a flash of fire, and Jin Cheng's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Jeon Seong-hwan's six guards raised their pistols and fired. Li Zaiyi fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and several bloody holes appeared on his body.

The gunfire continued.

Kim Sung-il's guard company commander saw Kim Sung-il and Lee Jae-yi lying in a pool of blood from afar. He was angry and anxious, and was about to order the guard company to rush up and eliminate Jeon Sung-hwan to avenge Kim Sung-il.

The commander of the second battalion of the 11th Infantry Regiment of the Chaoxian New Army shouted, "Kill the traitors and rid the country of harm!"

A team of musket soldiers rushed up and opened fire at the deputy commander of the second battalion.

There were only two people who fell, but nearly ten of the officials who were blocking the way were knocked down in the panic. Some lay in a pool of blood, gasping for breath, like fish thrown onto the shore; some were injured in their hands and feet, rolling on the ground in pain.

Jin Chengyi's guard company commander was in a daze for a moment, and Quan Chenghuan led the guards to retreat to the palace gate. A large number of special operations soldiers were pouring in from the palace gate, quickly surrounding the officials in the open space and the officers and soldiers of the 11th Infantry Regiment who were shooting at each other.

Liu Chenglong stood among the crowd of officials, watching all this in horror.

Kim Sung-il and Lee Jae-ui were shot dead by Jeon Sung-hwan and his guards.

The second battalion of the 11th Infantry Regiment attacked each other, and the officials who were caught in the middle became targets of guns, suffering heavy casualties.

"Kill the traitors! Protect the king!"

"Kill the traitors! Support the government!"

The voices rose and fell, echoing over the court.

At the distant palace gate, thousands of special operations soldiers rushed in, holding muskets and surrounding this side.

Gunshots rang out, and the special warfare regiment joined the battle, their smoothbore rifle fire became more intense and fierce. With their joining, the second battalion's team to kill the traitors became more powerful, and the team to kill the traitors was defeated step by step.

The officials of Jia's group were constantly hit in the hail of bullets and fell in a pool of blood, wailing.

The special forces regiment lined up, holding muskets with bayonets, and advanced forward while firing. There were injured officers lying on the ground in front of them, and they raised their bayonets without hesitation and stabbed the wailing officers to death.

Jeon Sung-hwan betrayed himself!

The good plan he had planned to stabilize the country was a joke. The Ming people took advantage of the situation and killed the few remaining Korean officials.

Liu Chenglong suddenly remembered that not all the officials who came to pay tribute to the emperor were present at the court today, with more than 40 people absent.

I understand. Some of these people are from the party of Shen Yiqian and Zheng Renhong, and are obviously loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Some of them curse the Shen and Zheng party louder than anyone else on weekdays. They are loyal and righteous ministers on the surface, but in fact they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty long ago and are just acting on weekdays.

Among the more than 300 officials who gathered in the open space in front of the court today, a small number are truly loyal and righteous people, while most of the others are fence-sitters.

The people of the Ming Dynasty now don't even want to be fence-sitters, which shows that they are determined to incorporate the 3,000-mile territory offered by the dynasty into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, these officials, along with the Queen Dowager in the rear palace, have been eliminated. The king is in the capital again, so all obstacles have been removed. They were caused by internal strife and attacks within the court.

My good plan for stabilizing the country actually helped them!
Liu Chenglong felt a stuffy feeling in his chest and a sweet feeling in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Let's go, Brother Liu!" Yin Enshun rushed over, grabbed Liu Chenglong and ran to the outside, while running he advised: "Brother Liu, as long as you have the green mountains, you will never have to worry about lack of firewood. The loyal and righteous people who have presented themselves to the court are endless."

Yin Eun-shun pulled Liu Chenglong towards the back hall, followed by four or five officials. They were all relatively young and ran fast, so they managed to escape.

When he turned to a corner of the court, Liu Chenglong looked back and saw that the special operations regiment, under the command of Quan Chenghuan, had merged with the second battalion's team to kill traitors, and were strangling the "team to kill traitors" and the officials who were running around.

Gunshots, stabbings, screams, blood, and "loyal and righteous men" fell one after another. They lay on the ground with their eyes open, looking at the sky, and died with their eyes open!
"Brother Yin, let's go to the back hall and rescue the Queen." Liu Chenglong turned around suddenly, grabbed Yin Eunsun's hand, and said hurriedly.

The Ming people must be commanding the new army outside the palace to carry out the elimination, and Li Jilin and other royal descendants will surely "die an untimely death". Now the only way to survive is to rescue the Queen Mother, escape from Seoul, and then use her name to issue an edict to call on loyal and righteous people to serve the king.

Yin Eun-shun turned around and looked at the five officials who ran out and leaned against the wall to catch their breath. They also heard what Liu Chenglong said, but turned their heads away with flickering eyes, not daring to look at Yin Eun-shun and Liu Chenglong.

Yin Eun-sun gritted his teeth and said to Liu Chenglong, "That's right, the Queen Dowager is our only hope. Let's go to the back hall quickly."

"Okay!" Liu Chenglong stood up suddenly and ran to the back hall with Yin Eunshun.

As soon as I ran into the courtyard, I heard gunshots, followed by screams of palace maids and eunuchs. Then the gunshots became more frequent and the screams became less frequent.

Liu Chenglong and Yin Eunshun looked at each other. Oh no, they had taken the lead again.

It seems that they have been planning this for a long time.

Hearing hurried footsteps coming from inside, in order to save their lives, Liu Chenglong and Yin Eunshun had to turn around and walk back out of the first yard.

The sound of gunfire around the court began to become sparse. Quan Chenghuan's reinforcements increased in number, and the team that was killing the traitors was surrounded in a corner.

The team that was killing the traitors could also allocate some personnel to search for the fish that had escaped the net. From time to time, sporadic gunshots could be heard.

Suddenly, someone shouted not far away, "We surrender, and we swear to kill the traitors!"

Liu Chenglong and Yin Eunshun looked at each other and saw that they were the five officials who had just run out with them.

"Bang bang!" Gunshots rang out, followed by shrill screams. After only a dozen breaths, the screams gradually subsided and were blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.

The two had no choice but to go into the alley next to them and hide.

They rolled and crawled in the alley for a while and finally found a hiding place.

A side room for storing miscellaneous items, with a shed outside that was filled with firewood. There was a small gap against the wall, so the two of them squeezed in. There was a straw mat outside to cover the snow, so it was difficult for others to notice them if they passed by.

The two hid inside and held their breath.

Soon, three groups of soldiers came and went. One group was the one who wanted to punish the traitors of the court, and they were desperately trying to escape.

The two groups were there to punish traitors to the country, and they also passed by in a hurry, chasing the enemy.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could put the heart in their throats back to where it was, they heard footsteps and voices coming again.

"Look carefully and don't miss any part."

"Yes!"

"Damn it, we should kill the traitors and support the government. Are Jin Chengyi and Li Zaiyi crazy? They support those yangban masters and continue to ride on our heads and shit and piss?"

The officer in charge cursed and ordered the soldiers to search around.

"Are you addicted to being a slave? You are not comfortable being a decent human being! You are eager to serve the yangban masters again, and want your descendants to be their slaves for generations? How despicable!"

"The company commander is right, these bastards are too cheap."

The soldiers spread out, stabbing with their bayonets and echoing in a cacophony of voices.

"That's right! His Majesty the Emperor has made us stand up straight and behave like human beings, but Jin Chengyi and Li Zaiyi have to kneel down to the yangban bastards again." "You are worse than pigs and dogs! You deserve to die!"

"If you like being a slave so much, then go to the underworld and continue to be a slave to the two masters!"

"Haha, that's right!"

Liu Chenglong was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Loyal and righteous men like Jin Chengyi and Li Zaiyi were actually spoken of in such a bad light by them.

You Ming people's running dogs, do you know what justice is?
You were just crude slaves and tenants before, and you wagged your tails and begged for mercy after getting a small profit from the Ming people, willing to be an accomplice. You abandoned your country and your king and father, and you have no sense of shame!
Yin Eun-shun was not as excited as Liu Chenglong. He found that some soldiers were surrounding this place. This was not a completely hidden place. A few bayonets would immediately expose him.

He turned his head and looked at Liu Chenglong, and made up his mind.

"Brother Liu!" Yin Enshun pulled Liu Chenglong's sleeve and called out in a low voice, pulling him out of his anger.

"Let's rush out. I'll go first and attract them. You rush to the back hall. There's nothing going on there, so it might be safe."

"Brother Yin!" Liu Chenglong choked up, Yin Eunshun was willing to sacrifice herself to save him.

"Don't hesitate. Brother Liu, saving Chaoxian can't just rely on words. In the past, we talked too much and did too little. I hope that starting from you and me, we can be like the people of Ming, talking less and doing more. In this way, Chaoxian can still be saved.

Three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, please leave it to Brother Liu."

Yin Eun-sun smiled at Liu Chenglong, and resolutely rushed out from his hiding place, shouting, "Let's go!"

As he ran, he shouted to the searching soldiers, "Here I am!"

Liu Chenglong's eyes were blurred, but he knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he hurriedly squeezed out of his hiding place and ran in the opposite direction towards the back hall.

After running for more than ten steps, Liu Chenglong couldn't help but look back and saw more than a dozen muskets firing at Yin Eun-shun. The dense lead bullets made his body shake and blood splattered everywhere.

Hot tears blurred his eyes. In the misty haze, Liu Chenglong saw several soldiers react and pointed their muskets at him.

He turned around quickly and ran forward with all his might.

Boom!

A gunshot rang out behind me, and my left shoulder felt as if it was pierced by a thick nail. Half of my body lost consciousness in the pain.

Liu Chenglong took a deep breath, ran a few steps, and rushed into the side door of the second courtyard of the rear hall.

He went to a secluded spot at the foot of the east wing, sat on the ground leaning against the wall, and gasped for breath.

He looked down and saw that his upper body was soaked through, and the blood had soaked most of his scarlet robe. In the cold wind, the blood slowly turned black, forming a contrast with the bright red of the scarlet robe.

Liu Chenglong gritted his teeth, turned his head and looked at the yard through the gap.

Teams of special forces and new army soldiers, two people in a group, carried corpses from various places and piled them in the yard.

Bang! A female corpse was thrown on the pile of corpses.

She was dressed in gorgeous attire, and she was none other than Queen Dowager Shen, the last hope of Liu Chenglong and Yin Eun-sun.

Her face was turned towards him, her face was deathly gray, and her eyes were lifeless, which reminded Liu Chenglong of the dead fish on the plate at the banquet.

Footsteps were heard behind him. Liu Chenglong froze and hesitated for a moment before slowly turning around. He saw Quan Chenghuan walking towards him slowly.

"Just now I accidentally glanced and saw the young master running in in a panic." Quan Chenghuan had a victorious smile on his face, "Young master is injured? Hit by a lead bullet, it is difficult to save him. Instead of dying in pain, it is better for me to give you a quick death, which will also settle our grudge."

"Ungrateful thing!"

"Huh?" Quan Chenghuan laughed, "My family has been slaves to your Liu family for generations. My great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and I have all been servants of your Liu family since we were born.

I have worked like a slave for your Liu family for generations, working day and night, and now you give me a full meal to eat, and that's your kindness?

My great-grandfather, grandfather, and my father all died of exhaustion before they were 40. I was your book boy. If you couldn't memorize the book, I would be beaten. If you didn't write well, I would be beaten. If you were late because of playing, I would be beaten.

You are the stupid one, why should I be beaten? "

Quan Chenghuan held a pistol in his hand, his face full of anger, madness and excitement.

"Giving me a few bowls of your leftovers and throwing me a few pieces of your old clothes that you don't want is a great favor to me? You treat me like a dog!

I am better at studying than you. You can't memorize a passage of "The Analects" after listening to it more than ten times, but I can memorize it after listening to it three times. But you can pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. When you ride a horse, I must kneel in the mud and serve as a horse stone!
You gentlemen are fighting with each other, so you ask us servants to bite and fight each other like wild dogs.

I defeated all the other servants, but you were so proud of yourself that you only asked the kitchen to give me a meal of rice, but you didn't care that I was covered in wounds and burned for three days, and I almost died. "

Quan Chenghuan walked closer and pointed his short gun at Liu Chenglong, "Sir, you have been so kind to me. How can I repay you?"

Liu Chenglong leaned against the wall and smiled weakly, "The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are the words of the saints and the great principles of heaven. You are a vulgar person, what do you know!"

Quan Chenghuan laughed, "I don't understand. I only know how to stand on the side of the strong and be a winner. Young Master, you always boast that you are doing great things. Have you accomplished your great deeds?"

Liu Chenglong looked at Quan Chenghuan. The blood from the wound on his left shoulder had dyed a large area of ​​the ground red. He raised his head and looked past Quan Chenghuan at the gloomy sky in the distance.

"Yes, when doing big things, it's either a big success or a big failure. Success or failure is just a fine line, so why would we be the ones to fail?"

Quan Chenghuan laughed, "If you don't even understand such a simple truth, how can you talk about doing great things? You deserve to fail!"

Liu Chenglong stared at him and asked back: "I don't understand, do you understand?"

Quan Chenghuan said word by word: "People's hearts are the general trend. The general trend is mighty, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!"

"boom!"

There was a burst of blood on Liu Chenglong's left chest. He opened his mouth and stared at Quan Chenghuan blankly. His throat made a gurgling sound. He tried hard to say something, but in the end, nothing came out. His head tilted and he died.

"Come two people, move this body to the yard so we can deal with it together."

"Yes!"

The sky was leaden and the wind was even colder. Snowflakes floated down like catkins, soon covering the ground and the pile of corpses with a light layer of white. The bloodstains that had covered the ground just now were all gone.

Quan Chenghuan watched the soldiers move the bodies onto the carriage, stood for a while, then turned to his adjutant and said.

"Reporting to the Ministry of State Affairs and the Ministry of Military Supervision, Liu Chenglong colluded with Jin Chengyi, Li Zaiyi and others, led troops to rebel, coerced the Queen Mother and the officials, and arbitrarily established Li Jilin.

Now they have been defeated by our special warfare regiment and the 11th and 9th infantry regiments. The main culprits were either shot or committed suicide on the spot, and the Queen Mother and all the officials died under the guns of the chaotic army."

Hearing the sound of "Wow", Quan Chenghuan turned around and saw a few black crows standing on the snow-white roof.

He raised his pistol and fired a shot at the roof, scaring the crows into flying panic.

Quan Chenghuan blew away the smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun, whistled proudly, and put the short gun back into the holster.

"After we clean it up, set it on fire and burn this filthy, dilapidated place clean so we can start building a new city."

"Yes!"
