The ship sailed on the vast sea. Inside the flower hall, icebergs were placed around the room, and jasmine flowers were scattered on them. A cool breeze mixed with the fragrance of jasmine flowers wafted through the room.
Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Qing Yan stood side by side at the ship's window, looking at the tranquil sea outside.
"Little darling, neither of us got seasick?!" Yin Genjue Luo Shi remembered that Yin Ti had mentioned that the fatal problem for new recruits to the navy was seasickness. Today, the two of them didn't get seasick, which made Yin Genjue Luo Shi very curious.
Qingyan smiled and noticed that there was already seasickness medicine in the plum juice prepared by Yingenjueluo.
Before setting off, Yinzhen was worried that Yin Genjueluo and Qingyan would get seasick, so he specially asked Qingyan to prepare seasickness medicine. Since they couldn't tell Yin Genjueluo directly, they simply asked Sulan to put the medicine in the water.
"Isn't it good that you don't get seasick?" Qingyan was worried about the twins. Feiyanggu and Saito doted on Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, and the little girl's temper had definitely gotten even worse during this time.
"Of course not, the window should be facing the gun barrel of the ship, right?" Yin Genjue Luo had never been on a ship before, and he was very happy to be on board this time.
There's a rumor circulating within the navy that women who board ships might bring bad luck.
Yinti and Yinzhen, both being experts in traditional Chinese medicine, insisted that they accompany them on the expedition, which is why they were able to come directly.
"This expedition will only be victorious!" Qingyan had great confidence in Yinzhen and the others. The Koreans had clearly lost their nerve. They might not be able to resist the Qing ships, but they could use all the resources at their disposal to deal with the Qing soldiers.
At this moment, Lady Yin Genjue Luo felt uncertain and had no idea of the final solution. She was not as confident as Qing Yan and worried that Yin Ti and Yin Zhen would not be able to win.
In the view of Yin Genjueluo, everything has a worst side.
"Little Darling, let's go back to the cabin first!" After the meeting ended, Yinzhen went to the flower hall first and took Qingyan away.
As the two walked on the deck, Qingyan felt a gentle breeze on the sea, unlike the heat on land.
"Sisi, when will we be able to reach Korea?" Qingyan felt that the attack would not be carried out at night, but rather during the day, a face-to-face struggle.
"The day after tomorrow, we need to rest for two nights. After arriving on the third day, we will launch the attack immediately!" Yinzhen pushed open their cabin door and went in first.
As Qingyan entered the doorway, she looked around at her future residence.
The interior design here is extremely luxurious, resembling the upper deck suites of the Titanic, with mahogany carvings, mahogany furniture and beds on the floor—all of which were planned during the construction of the ship.
Regardless of who is on board the ship, the two leading commanders can come here and reside here.
"Sisi, this place is really nice, I like it very much!" Qingyan walked to the window, pushed open the carved mahogany window, and looked at the dolphins leaping on the sea, jumping one after another in the distance.
"Little darling, that's a dolphin." Yinzhen patted Qingyan's little hand, urging her to look into the distance. A dolphin had appeared over there.
ah? !
Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction Yinzhen was pointing and saw that touching the dolphins there instantly healed her. Sure enough, Yinzhen still had a childlike heart.
"Fourth, we've arrived in North Korea. I hope to meet the manager in Pyongyang as soon as possible!" Qingyan decided to launch the Yuelai Inn's special emergency signal flare into the sky on the very night the war began.
In this way, they can arrive as soon as possible. The news that the Qing Dynasty's ships are anchored at sea will definitely reach Pingrao City ahead of time.
Saito's navy has been active in Korean waters, and he even brought the crown prince to the capital as a hostage. This will definitely be a serious problem.
"That should be enough!" Yinzhen said sourly. After they arrived, the war would probably last for several days. He hoped to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
The Korean side is closer to the capital than the naval port, so if there is any disturbance here, Kangxi will definitely be the first to receive the news.
Qingyan pursed her lips, feeling uneasy, and asked, "Fourth Brother, are we really going to evacuate everyone?"
She actually wanted to try one more time, after all, it was most reassuring to make money off national crises abroad.
"Of course, if we don't withdraw and some talented people are harmed, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable," Yinzhen advised.
According to his understanding, the Yuelai Inn in Pyongyang had been targeted by the local government. If food became scarce, the Yuelai Inn would be in even greater danger. In fact, the government might even plunder grain from their warehouses. Yinzhen took his advisors' analysis to heart but did not say much to Qingyan.
"Alright, if you also think there will be problems, then I'm relieved. Withdrawing those people will only mean earning less money!" Qingyan's biggest worry was the grain in the warehouse, which was all bought with real money, and he was determined not to let it fall into the hands of those Koreans.
"Yes, I sent a message to the innkeepers over there in advance, asking them to hide the grain and fodder as quickly as possible so that we could prepare to evacuate as soon as the war started. So, the people over there have all expressed their support. They have not only dug cellars in inns and other shops to store grain and some valuables, but they have also dug cellars in their homes to prepare to protect their assets as soon as possible."
Qingyan relaxed. He had considered all the possible scenarios in advance, and all she had to do was stand quietly by his side!
"Fourth, there's another pharmacy here that specializes in medicinal herbs and has some dealings with Minsheng Pharmacy. Should we withdraw from it as well?" Qingyan liked the Korean ginseng here, which is why she had Minsheng Pharmacy set up a ginseng shop and had people buy ginseng directly from the local people.
What? !
"Are you sure that ginseng room is yours?!" Upon hearing Qingyan mention the name of the ginseng room, Yinzhen's phoenix eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief.
That ginseng shop was the most troublesome shop for the imperial merchants. The shopkeeper was stubborn; once he discovered the other party's character was bad after the first business transaction, he resolutely refused to cooperate a second time.
“Of course, but even Father doesn’t know about this!” Qingyan muttered.
If North Korea weren't about to be ravaged by war, Qingyan planned to keep this secret until her old age. She had already chosen an heir, and then she would pass on these assets to him.
The less others know, the better; it's a way to leave the family a way out.
After all, Saito and Eshuo also had shares in the company, and when it came time to distribute dividends, these dividends were specifically paid to the two brothers' private accounts.
