Bobo lived up to expectations. After accepting a portion of the new military power, he began to carry out sweeping reforms. These troops were trained by Bobo himself and would surely be loyal to him in the future. Yinzhen knew this, and Bobo knew it too.

This action by Yinzhen further solidified the position of the eldest prince, Bobo, in the emperor's heart, making his already stable position even more unbreakable.

This was also Yinzhen's intention. He didn't want to erode the bond between father and son. Now that the Qing Dynasty was about to undergo reforms, it needed manpower. He couldn't handle everything by himself. Delegating power to his son would put his mind at ease and reassure his son. It would also prevent the court from making wild speculations about things that weren't necessarily true.

This way, the court officials could focus their attention on the right path, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop. Naturally, Yinzhen would try to save face for his son.

Yinzhen granted Bobo military power, not too much, just 50,000 men. These 50,000 men could be entirely at Bobo's disposal, and that was the most important point.

After some time of training, Bobo managed to control the 50,000 people, which was initially a bit tricky.

The training method used by Bobo was provided by Yunrong. However, it's not entirely accurate to say that Yunrong provided it, as Yunrong wasn't a professional in this field. She only knew some basic training methods for modern armies. Yunrong shared everything she knew, and Yinzhen told Bobo about it.

Bobo treats each situation individually, and the training results are quite gratifying.

"Father, I have something to report."

"Speak! What is it?"

"Your subject wishes to lead troops to Tianjin."

Yinzhen immediately understood his idea: "You want to train them in Tianjin?"

Bobo nodded: "They already have a foundation, and they've been training on land for a while now. Continuing to train won't improve them much. What they need more is naval combat."

Yinzhen neither agreed nor refused, saying, "Let Father think about it. You go ahead and get busy!"

Bobo wasn't surprised; after all, it wasn't a small matter, and it was normal for his father to consider it more carefully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave."

Yinzhen actually had the answer in his heart, but he still needed to discuss this matter with Yunrong. His son was going out, and instead of going to Jinghai County last time, he would be gone for quite some time.

Yinzhen told Yunrong, and to his surprise, Yunrong didn't seem to have any objection at all.

"You don't mind?"
