Qing Yan needs to calm down. Transmigrating is one thing, but becoming an infant? Is this a joke? When she was three years old, she met a jade-carved little boy. Qing Yan's eyes immediately lit...
Two days later, Emperor Kangxi received news in the capital that Yinzhen and others had taken action against Pyongyang, and that the Qing nationals living there had been evacuated to safety.
Looking at the memorial in his hand, Kangxi was even happier; his two children had truly grown up.
“Xuan Ye…” Consort Tong walked to Kangxi’s side and saw a smile on his face. She knew in her heart that Kangxi was happy because of the two children.
"Those two brats have really grown up. They actually understand when to nip the problem in the bud!" A smile appeared on Kangxi's face. Originally, the two children had been training the navy. This time, Kangxi personally issued an edict to use the method of "using war to sustain war" to let these people face real combat.
Now, the two children have finally gained some experience, and that old man Fei Yanggu is indeed reliable after all.
While Yinzhen was far away at sea, he watched the overseas Chinese evacuate through his telescope.
Those ships that approached the coast were all hired from the coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty. The people on board had been mobilized by the prefects and felt they should do their part.
“Little darling, now that our group of overseas Chinese has evacuated, we don’t need to worry anymore!” Yinzhen felt that the fighting these past few days had been hesitant and timid, and they were all worried that the overseas Chinese would be caught in the crossfire.
Initially, Yinti and Yinzhen believed that if these overseas Chinese did not return, they had sacrificed for the Qing Dynasty and should not have any connection to the matter.
After hearing their decision, Qingyan insisted that Emperor Kangxi issue an edict to evacuate the overseas Chinese.
On the issue of evacuating overseas Chinese, Qingyan did not make the slightest concession. Although Yinzhen did not understand why Qingyan insisted, he still did as Qingyan asked.
Ultimately, Kangxi decided to follow Yinzhen's suggestion.
This evacuation of overseas Chinese was a new attempt, as the Qing Dynasty had never truly fought a naval battle, nor had it ever been to other countries. It was a path pioneered by Yinti and Yinzhen.
In the future, if they encounter similar problems, they can still solve them using this method.
"Little darling, we may have to be ready to go to war at any time from now on!" Yinzhen knew in his heart that his suggestion had been adopted when he saw the secret order sent by Kangxi.
To sustain war through war!
The navy consumed too much gold and silver, and even though Kangxi had a considerable amount in his private treasury, it couldn't cover it all.
“Sure, I’ll stay by your side. If you really have to go to war again, bring the children with you. Yiken’e is a boy, so he should face this darkness sooner.”
They have two girls here. If they let the girls get away with it, it could be bad. If things go wrong, Emperor Kangxi might directly reprimand them.
"What about Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen and Songkelierha? You should bring them too!" Yinti looked at them after hearing what Qingyan said.
“Of course, they can stay in the flower hall. No one will bother them here!” Qingyan nodded.
Qingyan was worried about leaving the girls at the military port, where there were many guards. If even one of them had something on her mind, it would definitely cause trouble.
"Xiao Guai is right. We should bring the children along to come and see for ourselves." Yinzhen considered that this expedition would take several days, and after the evacuation of the overseas Chinese, all the problems could be resolved in about two or three days.
As dawn approached, Yinzhen received news that all the overseas Chinese had been evacuated. Yinti and Yinzhen had spent the whole day in the flower hall, while the two wicked women had already returned to their respective rooms to sleep.
"Bayan, you all go out and prepare. I want to see Pyongyang and Seoul razed to the ground before sunrise tomorrow!" Yinzhen developed the monarchy of the Yi Dynasty, and even the crown prince was put on the blacklist.
Who told them that father and son wanted to scheme against Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen? The daughter whom Fourth Master doted on was not someone they could touch.
Qingyan pushed open the door and came out, preparing a late-night snack for Yinzhen, when she overheard Yinzhen's words.
A massacre of the entire city?!
The two words suddenly popped into Qingyan's mind: In the area outside the Great Wall, Nurhaci would massacre the inhabitants of every city he conquered.
Now, Yinzhen does the same thing when dealing with those small, insignificant countries, which Qingyan Dao doesn't appreciate.
She even hoped they would wipe out Ryukyu as well, and that those Japanese pirates who had committed crimes in the country would be massacred.
From then on, there were no more descendants of those Japanese pirates in the world, which was a good thing.
"Fourth Prince, have you considered dealing with that tiny country next door as well?" Qingyan hoped that Yinzhen could submit a memorial to plead for this.
The fishermen along the coast are often harassed by Japanese pirates. If we can get rid of these people, that would be a good thing.
"I will only say this after the memorial has been submitted: we will use war to sustain war in the future!" Yinzhen had no goodwill towards that country and hoped to get things done as soon as possible!
"Alright, you guys planned all of this. Big brother, how about we have some late-night snacks later?" Qingyan said directly as he came out.
Yinzhen looked at Yinti; for the first time, the two brothers were able to eat in peace.
"Sigh... It turns out that having a quiet meal is so difficult!" The two had only eaten half of their meal when Bayan came over and said he wanted to ask the two masters to go to the deck.
Yinti put down the ivory hairpin, feeling somewhat melancholy.
Later that evening, Yinti and Yinzhen left the flower hall side by side. Qingyan looked at the still steaming late-night snack on the table and felt a little sad.
During his campaigns, Yinzhen rarely ate on time. Even when Qingyan specially prepared meals, he could not eat them.
Half an hour later, Yinzhen came down from the deck and looked at Qingyan with her head down, looking at the food on the table, and felt guilty.
She stayed up all night, hoping to prepare a midnight snack for them and take care of their health.
Now, they have truly wasted Qingyan's good intentions.
"Hmm? Fourth Prince, is the matter resolved?" Qingyan snapped out of her reverie, looking at Yinzhen's affectionate gaze, but decided to conceal her emotions.
"Of course not, but it will be resolved soon!" Yinzhen said, pursing his lips.
Qingyan awaited Yinzhen's explanation. If he needed her help, Yinzhen certainly wouldn't delay.
"Your Yuelai Inn's supplies haven't been transported out. It's said that the grain and fodder have been seized by military officers in Pyongyang!" Yinzhen sneered. The military officers' final explanation was that it was a temporary requisition.
The entire country is gone. Who can make up for the loss of Yuelai Inn?
Once back in the Qing Dynasty, even if these losses were reported, the Ministry of Revenue wouldn't resolve them, and the censors might even pressure Qingyan to take responsibility for them himself.
"What?!" Qingyan was stunned. That batch of grain was quite a lot, and it was just gone like that?
"The innkeeper has already sent word that his wife and daughters haven't returned either!" Yinzhen thought the innkeeper had done a good job, sending everyone out while staying behind to look after the business of Yuelai Inn.
Yinzhen understood that the shopkeeper wanted to stay there with his wife and daughter.
