A week later, a secret edict from the capital completely shattered the balance at the naval port, and those trainees who had previously earned military merit faced training again.
Inside the study, Yinti and Yinzhen sat facing each other, while their three children played happily nearby.
"Father's intention is for the two of us to lead this group of trainees to Korea for further combat training!" Yinzhen said coldly.
Kangxi must have seen the memorial sent by Saito and was preparing to send troops again to deal with the situation thoroughly.
"Fourth Prince, I want to go with you!" Qingyan glanced at Yinzhen. The Yuelai Inn and Minsheng Pharmacy needed to be evacuated, which was a tricky matter.
What? !
Yinti and Yinzhen were both stunned. Qingyan's request was a bit too much. Apart from Kangxi, none of the other princes had ever brought their female relatives when they went on expeditions.
"Why?!" Qingyan rarely made requests, and Yinzhen wanted to find out the reason before explaining why he wanted to go together.
"You want to withdraw your people!" Qingyan stopped there.
Yinzhen and Yinti exchanged a glance. Qingyan was right. There were strict regulations for the two shops under her name. Unless their own merchant ships arrived, they definitely couldn't leave directly.
"Should we withdraw completely?" Yinti asked Qingyan.
Qingyan nodded. The situation there was unstable, so closing all the shops was probably the best option.
Although her impulsive closure of all her shops may cause her considerable losses, she no longer cares about that.
"Brother, when shall we set off?!" Yinzhen glanced at Kangxi's memorial, which detailed the battle plan.
Yinti rubbed his temples, feeling uncertain. This time, they would no longer be able to receive land support. Once they were out on the expedition, they would be like a ship adrift, without any outside help, and with two female relatives to accompany them, it would definitely be a risky undertaking.
"Lord Ulanara, when do you think would be a good time for us to set off? Would it be possible to have Saito accompany us on another expedition?" Yinti pondered, thinking that having a familiar person as a guide would be a great help to them.
Fei Yanggu looked at Yinti, pondering the message Kangxi had sent. Besides Yinti and Yinzhen, Kangxi had also sent him a letter, which stated that he hoped to give the two brothers a chance to try.
He made Kangxi's secret memorial public, intending to let the two men see it and decide whether they should still insist on Saito accompanying them on the expedition.
"Father-in-law, is this an imperial decree?" Yinzhen looked at the message, which gave him a headache.
Yinti and Yinzhen exchanged a glance, understanding that Kangxi wanted to test them.
"Alright, can we let E'shuo come with us?" Forget about Saito, but E'shuo is also a fierce general. If he joins us, it should be a good choice.
"Of course!" Fei Yanggu didn't make things difficult for him anymore and directly notified E Shuo to come over as well.
"Little darling, it will be dangerous for you to come with me!" Yinzhen asked her, looking at her with concern.
On the battlefield, situations can change in an instant, and there is always the risk of losing one's life.
"Of course, I'll be wherever you are, and I'll ask Father to help take care of the twins!" Qingyan replied firmly.
Yin Genjueluo nodded as well, and she followed closely in Yinti's footsteps to the battlefield.
"Alright, the three children can stay with me." Fei Yanggu was also prepared to help them. He was very familiar with the twins, and he would do his best to take care of Songkriyirha.
"Thank you!" Yinti was worried about Songkelierha. If she followed him onto the ship and succeeded, all would be well, but if she failed, she would be attacked by everyone.
When Eshuo pushed open the door and entered, he noticed that the atmosphere in the study was somewhat tense. After sitting down, he listened to Yinti and Yinzhen discuss the matter of going to war.
"Father, are you planning to have me go with Prince Zhi and Fourth Prince?" E'shuo asked Fei Yanggu.
Fei Yanggu nodded. Saito and Eshuo had more practical experience than the Yinti brothers. This time, they were also going to bring Qingyan along, and he was quite worried.
Even if Xiao Guai is very clever, she has never experienced a battlefield.
"Prince Zhi, are you and the Fourth Prince ready?" Naval training is very tough, and this time you are leading a group of troops that are not in good training progress. It will be even more difficult than the navy led by Bi Tuo.
Yinti nodded. No matter how many difficulties lay ahead, they had to face them head-on.
"You must be here in three days!" Fei Yanggu calculated, not giving the North Koreans any breathing room, and made arrangements as early as possible.
The Crown Prince was sent to the capital, and the Korean military commanders probably never imagined that the Qing navy would once again use them as practice targets.
"Alright, prepare a few more things these two days. Little darling, are you coming along?" E Shuo saw Qing Yan's eyes light up and secretly thought something was wrong.
When you're out on a campaign, you can't afford to worry about too many things, so Qingyan's trip was an adventure.
"And sister-in-law, we'll all go with you. Ah Hun, we'll definitely win!" Qingyan directly soothed E Shuo's agitated heart.
E Shuo understood that once Qing Yan made a decision, no amount of talk could change it.
Three days later, Qingyan, dressed in a light blue casual outfit, followed Yinzhen onto the ship. After living in the Qing Dynasty for many years, this was the first time she had boarded a ship and sailed on the sea.
As she watched the ships sail away from the naval port, a sense of emotion welled up within her. She had finally had the chance to sail on the sea again.
Yin Genjueluo and she sat together in the flower hall, looking at the sea view outside the ship while having breakfast.
Yinti, Yinzhen, and Eshuo went to the captain's cabin to discuss all the details of the expedition.
"Little darling, are you really not afraid?" Yin Genjue Luo Shi walked into the ship and found that it was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
"Why be afraid?" Qingyan asked, puzzled. "Sister-in-law, we've already made an exception for Big Brother and Fourth Brother by coming here!"
She looked out the window and saw the azure sea beyond the deck, which excited her.
There are many things to be found in the ocean, and when ships are sailing, some things that need to be caught need to be caught by fishing.
Therefore, a fishing net was tied to the stern of the ship, ready to begin a large-scale fishing operation.
Providing the soldiers with more food is a kind of benefit, I suppose.
Yinti and Yinzhen told the public that this method was the idea of Lady Yingenjueluo and Qingyan, hoping to give everyone good physical strength to prepare for the upcoming war.
Instantly, the voices of opposition from the soldiers on the ship disappeared. They had never received such good treatment before.
Qingyan smiled. There wasn't much food, but it was good enough to change everyone's tastes.
“I know that the journey ahead is fraught with danger!” said Yin Genjue Luo Shi with concern.
Both he and his wife came out. What will happen to Songkriyirha if they don't go back?
