Chapter 220 Old Brother
Zhou Charter sent money Yougui to Seoul to fight in advance and ordered Park Yong-yeol and Feng Guozhang to clean up the Seoul Palace and wear red colors. Zhou Charter is ready to marry Kim Shu in the palace. At that time, officials led by Park Yong-yeol in northern North Korea and North Korean officials led by Kim Hongji in southern Korea must all participate. Wedding. It is expected that no less than 5,000 people will come to the palace to watch the ceremony, and the whole city of Seoul will be decorated with lanterns to welcome the Zhou Charter.
Zhou Charter was well prepared, and Jin came with another icing on the cake and got the marriage edict from Emperor Guangxu. The specifications of the wedding suddenly rose to the height of the national celebration. This wedding will be unprecedented.
The port of Incheon is far away.
Cheng Biguang, the commander of Zhang's fleet stationed in North Korea, led the Jiyuan ship and two gunboats, also dressed in red and hung colors, and sailed out of Incheon Port and came to Dingyuan. Ji Yuan raised the flag to the Dingyuan ship - "Congratulations on Governor Zhou's wedding!"
Dingyuan replied: "Congratulations!"
Jiyuan and the two gunboats fired twelve cannons to the sky. Then transfer the bow of the ship and guide the Dingyuan ship into the port.
The dock is full of people and bustling. North Koreans in traditional costumes gathered from all directions to Incheon Port. They want to witness their legendary hero, who has been regarded by the North Korean people as the liberator of North Korea.
Many of the people north of the Linjin River, especially those from Pyongyang, have seen Zhou Charter. When Zhou Charter was a consul in Pyongyang, he often made private visits to the people's homes to understand the people's conditions. And almost no one in Seoul has seen Zhou Charter, who once made a scene in Yang Huajin. Therefore, the people from Pyongyang are all dancing and boasting to the people of Seoul that they had sat at a small table drinking tea and chatting with Zhou Charter. This makes Seoul people envy and hate, but Seoul people also have killers - the story of Zhou Charter and Jin Shu taking the remains of Jin Yujun at the Yanghuajin execution ground in Seoul has been compiled into a book by rap artists and widely circulated in North Korea. In the book, Zhou Charter and Jin Shu are described as a perfect match for heroes and beauties.
The Dingyuan ship slowly docked. Zhou Charter, dressed in a straight woolen military uniform, a sword at his waist and leather boots, appeared beside the gangway. The people waiting on the dock cheered like thunder. A group of North Korean girls danced traditional Korean dance, while the young men sang an ode. Zhou Charter stood on the side of the ship and waved to the welcoming crowd.
Park Yonglie and Feng Guozhang boarded the gangway and saluted Zhou Charter. Before the two finished saluteing, Zhou Charter stretched out his hands and pulled Park Yonglie and Feng Guozhang over. The three hugged each other.
Naha Wu, Yao Xi and Li Guoge behind Zhou Charter also gathered around, and the six people hugged each other tightly. Naha Wu suddenly opened his voice and cried loudly.
Yao Xi scolded, "You son of a bitch, and you are still a fucking uncle. Why are you howling in front of so many people!"
Naha fell into Park Yonglie's arms and cried even more uninformly: "Brother Park, I want Songgufeng!"
Park Yonglie sighed for a while, and the six people suddenly cried.
Nahawu, Park Yonglie, Feng Guozhang, Yao Xi and Li Guoge are all Zhangjun's elder brothers who climbed out of the dead in Songgufeng together with Zhou Charter
Although Zhang Jun officially became an army in Chenghuan, at that time, Zhou Charter took over a battalion of the Qing army and formed the backbone of Zhang Jun. However, in the minds of the old brothers, Songgufeng is the birthplace of Zhang Jun! On Songgu Peak, Zhou Charter and Jin Shu led several old buddies to fire the first shot of the war of resistance against the Japanese!
Participating in the Battle of Songgufeng were Zhou Charter, Jin Shu, Park Yonglie, Feng Guozhang, Naha Wu, Yao Xi and Li Guoge. There are also the dead Yu Guangxin, Xin Delin, and Li Guangying, the king of the courtyard.
After Park Yonglie returned to Seoul, he held a grand funeral for the king of the courtyard. With the etiquette of the Korean king, he buried the courtyard king on Songgu Peak. At the same time, he looked for the remains of Yu Guangxin, Xindelin and the fallen soldiers of the Qing army who entered Seoul to rescue the king of the courtyard king. A tomb was built next to the courtyard king's cemetery. A monument was erected in front of the tomb, and the inscription detailed the process of the battle of Songgu Peak and the names of the fallen soldiers.
Hannagan, the chief of staff of Zhang Jun, stared at his blue eyes and came to persuade him, and then everyone wiped away his tears. Dingyuan made a long cry, and Zhou Charter led his brothers to get off the ship and come to the dock.
Pyongyang gentry represented Zheng Su, and Seoul gentry, representing Jin Hongji, each came to Zhou Charter with a bowl of wine.
Zhou Charter held Zheng Suo's arm: "Old Zheng, why are you here?"
Zheng Suo was so excited that he burst into tears: "Zhou Zongbing, do you still remember me?"
"Of course, I remember that Wu Peifu's son-of-law scalper bullied the people. If it hadn't been for your righteous words, my Zhou Charter would have been confused by him!" Zhou Charter turned around and shouted, "Wu Peifu, when I hit you with 40 military sticks, and old Zheng still pleaded for you, won't you show it?"
Wu Peifu came up with a smile and bowed to Zheng Suo: "Old Zheng, Wu Peifu will compensate you."
"Don't dare to be, dare not be." Zheng Su was at a loss.
Zhou Charter took the wine in Zheng Su's hand and drank it all at once.
Park Yonglie said, "Military commander, this is Mr. Jin Hongji. He used to be the prime minister of the Seoul Palace, but now he welcomes the military commander on behalf of the Seoul gentry."
Zhou Charter arched his hand to Jin Hongji and said, "Mr. Jin's name has been admired for a long time. For the sake of the North Korean people and under the pressure of the Japanese, Mr. Kim endured humiliation and protected the interests of the North Korean people to the greatest extent. Later, he led Seoul officials to abandon the dark and help Zhang Jun capture Seoul. Mr. Jin Gaoyi, I admire you!"
Jin Hongji was ashamed: "Zhou Junxed, and Jin lost his life as a Japanese bandit, and he had no choice."
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Mr. Kim, now that the war in North Korea is over and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I want to ask Mr. Kim to serve as the governor of Seoul and assist Park Yong-yeol in governing North Korea. I wonder if Mr. Kim is willing to do so?"
"Mr. Kim can't help doing something for the North Korean people!" Jin Hongji is a standard Confucian student who has no selfishness. What he wants to do is to seek benefits for the North Korean people. Now, Zhang Jun has driven away the Japanese. North Korea has no king and is facing great pressure from the Russians. He can no longer establish a country independently and can only rely on Zhang Jun to survive. Jin Hongji has long abandoned the independent establishment of the country. Thoughts. Now, Zhou Charter has given all three most critical positions: the governor of North Korea, the governor of Pyongyang and the governor of Seoul to the North Koreans. Jin Hongji was surprised and impressed by Zhou Charter.
Zhou Charter took over the wine in Jin Hongji's hand and drank it all at once and said, "There is one more thing. Please bother Mr. Jin."
"Mr. Zhou, please say frankly that things within Jin's authority will definitely serve you."
"Please ask Mr. Kim to visit Lu Wenjun, who has defected to the Japanese and is a traitor to the North Korean people. Mr. Kim can't let him go."
