Bobo doesn't like to take advantage of others. Qiu Wen is Zhang Tingyu's wife, so Bobo is even less willing to take advantage of her. Therefore, Bobo plans to send everything that can be salvaged to Wu's Department Store once it's ashore.

Auction what can be auctioned, and sell what can be sold in the store. Then the money can be distributed to the people below.

Although there were many people, Qiu Wen salvaged a lot of things, many of which were worth a fortune. Even with tens of thousands of soldiers, the average amount per person was a considerable sum of money.

Bobo added some more himself, and at least the soldiers were very happy.

When the fleet arrived in Cangzhou, Zhang Tingyu began his vacation. Bobo originally wanted to return to the capital together to discuss things, but Zhang Tingyu said he would stay in Cangzhou for two days before going back.

Bobo then decided not to ask any more questions.

News of the victory had already reached the capital, and after a period of time, it had spread throughout the country.

Winning a battle is something to be especially happy about, but some people just don't seem to have a very good head for it. They actually said that the Qing Dynasty was a land of etiquette and should be friendly to other countries, and that such a war would really damage the face of the great Qing Dynasty.

Honestly, people who say things like that are probably not very bright.

The Qing Dynasty attacked first, but it is also a fact that Japan provoked first. No matter how great a country is, it should still have the attitude of a country of etiquette.

Never back down, and teach the other party the consequences of provoking the Qing Dynasty – this is the attitude of a nation of etiquette.

The person who said this was also an official, a high-ranking official in the capital, a second-class Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), but his family had no connections. He felt that his talents were being buried, and he complained all day long, saying that he was not appreciated.

But with that bitter face of his who only knows how to complain about being wronged, who would want to appreciate him? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

The result is that he used to feel unseen, that his talents went unnoticed, but now, because of this one thing, he has become famous in the capital.

But this was not the result he wanted.

His boss has already sent him home to rest.

The reason given was that they weren't busy lately, and the government office didn't need that many people.

The key issue is that it's unpaid.

To say he's dismissed doesn't seem accurate, but no one would dare employ someone who could say something like that.

And so, after this incident, no one dared to complain anymore. They had already fought, and even won, so why make sarcastic remarks?

In fact, many people felt that this time it was indeed a bit too much. After all, many old-fashioned people in the Qing Dynasty considered themselves the Celestial Empire and should not bother with a small island country like Japan. However, they did not know what Yinzhen had seen and experienced.

If anyone could feel a sense of satisfaction, it would be Yunrong, who had always been by his side, and the other two would be the time travelers.

It's not that they are unkind or uncompassionate, but that history of blood and tears makes them wish they could repay Japan a hundredfold for what they did to the Chinese nation and its people.

Now that the port treaty has been signed and some details have been released, everyone feels particularly pleased.

In reality, the Qing dynasty was actually being lenient. At least it didn't act like an executioner, massacring the poor and needy in Japan. Instead, it directly attacked the Japanese army. As for the Japanese people, they were never actually subjected to direct abuse by Qing soldiers.

Looking back on that massacre, I really did show mercy.

As the saying goes, the way of heaven is cyclical, and who knows if the debts we owe will be repaid in the torrent of history.

On the way back, Fuqing suddenly felt unwell. He didn't know if it was because of the frequent changes in environment. His body, which was fine before, suddenly collapsed.

The doctor who treated him was Zhang Zhelan, who was traveling with him.

Although Zhang Zhelan was an accompanying military doctor, she was actually quite young. Fuqing was a man who loved to joke around, and since he was bored during his illness, he started bickering with Zhang Zhelan.

At first, Zhang Zhelan was also very confused. His father's official position was really not high. Compared with imperial relatives like Fuqing, it was incomparable.

So Zhang Zhelan was initially a little reserved when faced with Fuqing's jokes, but after spending more time with him, she realized that Fuqing was just a person who didn't care about details.

Their relationship gradually improved.

Then Fuqing inquired about Zhang Zhelan's deeds and felt that he could befriend her. After returning to the capital, the two had become friends.

At least Fuqing told him to write a letter and send it to Fucha's residence if he needed anything.

Zhang Zhelan also felt that this man was easy to get along with, so she agreed without thinking too much about it and treated him as a friend.

Back in the capital, Bobo and Fuqing won't be going out for a while. Yinzhen also indicated that his son's training was almost complete, at least in terms of military training.

"I'm finally back."

"Mother."

"Come here and let your mother take a look." Yunrong looked her over carefully and finally said, "You've grown taller again."

Of course, he's grown taller again. It's the age when people grow taller, so it wouldn't make sense if he didn't.

"By the way, you've been in the capital for the past few years since you came back. Let your mother give you some good nourishment."

Although Bobo felt she didn't need any supplements, she naturally agreed with her mother's words: "Mother is right."

"That's more like it!"

Yunrong didn't ask any more questions about the situation in Japan. She already knew what she needed to know, and asking further would only make her son waste his breath. There was no need for her son to say things she already knew.

Yunrong inquired about his daily life in detail, and he answered seriously. Soon after, An'an and Beibei came over.

Once Bobo was completely settled, he was directly assigned to the Ministry of Personnel. Yinzhen's intention was to let him experience various departments so that he could at least understand the complex relationships within them.
