Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 269 Maritime Trade
After five years, he completely admitted that he had lost, and also admitted that he had never been the opponent of Lao Si, and was willing to accept the defeat! Rather than staying in Beijing and waiting for death, it is better to take the risk and do the last thing for the Qing Dynasty, so that he will not be left with only a sensational failure reputation in the history books in the future!
However, he had made up his mind, but Yinzhen was really unwilling to do so. It was not because the candidate was unsuitable or incompetent, but because he did not want to leave a reputation of persecuting his brothers.
"Yun Si, your eldest son has not yet accomplished anything, and your youngest son is still very young. If you leave, what will happen to the Eighth Prince's Mansion?"
Yunsi was not shaken at all: "I have a wife above and a daughter-in-law Hongwang below. It doesn't matter whether I am in the capital or not. This trip to the sea is for the ancestral foundation of my Qing Dynasty. I can't care about the love between men and women! My brother, my fourth brother, this is the last time I beg you. As for life or death, it is my own choice, and no one else is to blame!"
what……
Having said this, how could Yinzhen not see that Yunsi was determined to go to sea this time? In order to achieve his wish, he was willing to sacrifice his dignity and bow to him!
Ah, this, how can I not agree with this?
"Well, I agree to your request, but you must bring more guards and soldiers with you on this trip. I have also provided the imperial doctors and people who are good at maritime affairs. I will wait for your safe return and then welcome you back!"
Yunsi thanked him contentedly, and then returned to his original position amid the thoughtful looks of his brothers. However, he heard his eldest nephew smiling and saying to someone, "It is said that Japan is full of gold and silver mines. I wonder if the Qing Dynasty will have a chance to 'take' these gold and silver back?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar.
"What?" "Nephew, you are not bluffing, are you?" "Japan is so rich, why do the Japanese pirates repeatedly invade our Qing Dynasty?"
Honghui smiled meaningfully: "It may be true, or it may be a rumor, but there is no smoke without fire, everything depends on Uncle Ba! However, Japan seems to be implementing a maritime ban as well. The shogun in power seems to be deliberately lowering the price of Japanese goods in order to obtain information about the military and political affairs of other countries. I wonder if this is true?"
The letter from Japan to the Qing dynasty last year clearly stated that the only two countries that were allowed to trade with the Qing dynasty were the Qing dynasty and the Netherlands. As for the military and political affairs... the invasion of Japanese pirates...
Yinzhen's face immediately turned green: "Honghui, is there a case or not? Please explain it clearly!"
"I just heard a little news, but I can't be sure of it. Someone has to go and investigate it in person to find out. But this is probably true. The missionary hinted at it."
"Yunsi, you may not visit other countries, but you must go to Japan and investigate Japan's background for me! The Japanese pirates killed and looted countless people during the Ming Dynasty, and they appear and disappear like ghosts. I must get to the bottom of it! How can I allow others to sleep beside my bed?" Japan is too close to the Qing Dynasty, and the lives of the people living along the coast are also lives!
Yunsi replied "yes" with a grim look, thinking that he would have to try his best this time. Fighting for the throne is one thing, but the Qing Dynasty's bottom line is that it will not tolerate anyone to violate it!
Yinzhen stood up with a solemn expression: "Su Peisheng, pass on my decree to restore the title of Lian Beile to the Duke of the County, and lead the Qing fleet to sail overseas and trade..."
"Wait!" Prince Li Yunreng interrupted him and said, "I will go with you so that I can take care of you."
"Second brother, you have always been in poor health..."
"Don't try to persuade me. I have made up my mind. If my eighth brother can go, why can't I go? Hongxi has long been able to take charge of his own affairs. I no longer have any concerns in the capital. Why not use this broken body to serve the Qing Dynasty?"
"No, second brother, you are not young anymore. How can I bear to see you traveling overseas at such an age?" Yinzhen naturally disagreed. If the eighth brother unfortunately stayed at sea, he might sigh for a while but would not be sad for long. However, if the second brother died abroad, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
Yunreng did not allow him to refuse, and also knelt down to plead, "Fourth brother, my second brother is not young anymore, how many years can he live? In the remaining years, please let my second brother do whatever he wants! My second brother has been trapped in the capital for the rest of his life. He wants to see more scenery outside before he dies. Please allow my second brother to do so."
The princes took turns to persuade the second brother again and again, but failed to do so. They could only watch him "threaten death" to get Emperor Yongzheng's permission to accompany him to the sea.
"Second brother, you have to be well, otherwise I will not be able to face my deceased father in the underworld, let alone my ancestors."
"Don't worry, I haven't had enough good days yet, how can I bear to leave like this?"
After saying this, Yunreng turned to Yunsi and said gently: "Eighth brother, this time I'm sorry to trouble you to accompany me all the way."
Yunsi said "I dare not" repeatedly, but he shouted "Oh no" in his heart - this time he not only had to try his best, but also had to fight with all his strength. If anything happened to his second brother, he might as well die overseas, so as not to bring trouble to the mansion when he returned.
"In this case, Su Peisheng, pass on my order to appoint Prince Li as the main envoy and Prince Lian as the deputy envoy. They will accompany the letter of credence and tour overseas to establish relations with various countries. If anyone dares to offend the majesty of the Qing Dynasty and attack the Qing envoys, I will punish him and the Qing Dynasty will destroy him!"
Since going to sea is a foregone conclusion, the navy has to be established. Otherwise, how can we deter pirates? How can we deter other countries?
"I intend to establish a navy in Nanyang. Does anyone here recommend themselves?" It was the Fourteenth Brother who was leading the troops outside, otherwise he would have been the only commander-in-chief. He would feel at ease if the commander-in-chief of an army was left in the hands of his own brothers!
Yunyou was about to reply when Yunti spoke first, "Let me do it!"
Yinzhen was speechless and had a headache at the same time. Why did so many unexpected things happen today?
"Brother, how old are you?"
Yun Ti frowned and said confidently: "The sick old man can go to sea. I am only three years older than him and I am still healthy and strong. How can I not take care of the navy?!!"
Yunreng's face suddenly became brittle, and he grappled with gritted teeth, "Boss, how many years have you not led troops into battle? Your skills have been completely ruined, right?"
"What do you mean my skills are completely useless? Second brother, don't lie, or I'll give it a try with you."
"You are so rude, I won't bother with you! Ha! This time we are going to establish the navy, the navy!! How can you, who is used to fighting on land, adapt to the navy's way of fighting?"
Yunti couldn't stand hearing such derogatory words, especially coming from the second brother whom he had always disliked!
"Why not? They all have the same military tactics. No matter how they change, they still remain essentially the same. It will take at most a year or two to get used to them. How can I not get used to them? What? You are allowed to go to sea and make merit, but I am not allowed to serve the Qing Dynasty? Second brother, you are really strong!"
