Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

"So, what happened?"

In the study, Yinzhi placed the letter in his hand on the desk and motioned Yinreng and Yinzhen to take a good look at it.

Then, he spoke without hesitation, "My people discovered some sneaky Japanese while patrolling the capital. We were just keeping an eye on them to see if they had any evil intentions, and then we received the news from the maritime patrol team."

The Maritime Patrol Team is a name launched by the Fuzhou Navy for maritime combat training. The number of personnel is not fixed. Basically, a group of soldiers go to Shanghai for actual combat every cycle. In addition to clearing out the surrounding pirates, they are also responsible for detecting the movements of countries on the other side of the sea.

No matter who wants to reach the Qing Dynasty by sea, they are under the surveillance of the Maritime Patrol. They may not obstruct them, but they will definitely keep a close eye on the target person and pass the news to the capital.

As the current head of the Ministry of War, Yinzhi, the Prince of Zhi, was naturally the first to receive the news.

He pointed at the map of the Qing Dynasty hung in Yinzhen's study, his finger landed on the circled country of Japan, sneered, and said, "According to the news, the White Lotus Sect has already pushed the Tokugawa Shogunate to a dead end. But the current shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi is quite capable. He actually found out the origin of the White Lotus Sect and knew that they were a force that wanted to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and were hostile to our Qing Dynasty."

"For this reason, they found another way out of desperation, except surrender and death, and sent some Japanese to sneak into the country to try to seek help from the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it would be even better if they could ask us for an explanation."

At this point, Yinzhi sneered, feeling somewhat amused by the Tokugawa shogunate's choice. It would have been fine if they had asked for help from the Qing Dynasty, but they actually wanted to ask them for an explanation?

I really don’t know what to say.

Yinzhen put down the letter in his hand, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "It is true that you don't know what to do, and you don't know whether to live or die."

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi might have had some brains, and knew to send people to the Qing Dynasty to ask for help, in order to use the Qing Dynasty's help to take back the Japanese regime under the pretext of eliminating the anti-Qing and restoration of Ming forces. It was a pity that the subordinates he sent out were a bit stupid.

Yinzhen's eyes fell lightly on the pieces of letter paper, and the corners of his lips curled up in a mocking manner.

Yinreng, who was standing by, continued his words, "Let the Niangan Division arrest all the Japanese who have sneaked into the Qing Dynasty, so that they won't have the idea of ​​assassinating the envoys of the Three Kingdoms and causing trouble for the Qing Dynasty."

Yinreng was actually a little puzzled. Why would someone want to cause trouble for the Qing Dynasty when they were trying to ask for help?

On the one hand, he wanted to use the Qing Dynasty to eliminate the White Lotus Sect and regain power in Japan, and on the other hand, he was preparing to assassinate envoys from the three countries who were visiting the Qing Dynasty, trying to provoke conflicts between the Qing Dynasty and England, France and Prussia.

Although they were not planning to do this together, and were planning to ask for help first and then cause trouble, it was still too despicable.

"So, they deserve to be exterminated."

Not to mention whether the Qing Dynasty would be willing to help if they came to ask for help sincerely, just based on their intentions, if the Qing Dynasty did not help the White Lotus Sect, it would be sorry for its own Khan who had gone to great lengths to trick the White Lotus Sect out of the country.

"Ahem, I have an idea." Yinreng suddenly had an epiphany and came up with an immoral idea.

He said weakly: "Can we try to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind?"

"Emm..." Yinzhi and Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, then smiled politely, "I think it's okay."

In fact, they are the oriole hiding behind the mantis and keeping silent, aren't they?

*

When the envoys from the three countries sincerely visited the Qing Dynasty and established diplomatic relations with it, those princes who rarely appeared in front of the envoys were taking actions behind the scenes.

The princes and princesses had clear division of labor. Some of them dealt with the envoys from the three countries, while others contributed to the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

"Fourth brother, there seems to be a new group of prisoners in the prison?"

Originally busy with diplomatic affairs, Yinxiang had a rare moment of free time, but he found that his eldest brother, fourth brother and eighth brother were running around all day without stopping for a moment, and they were not busy with diplomatic affairs, which made him very confused.

After carefully questioning the guards around him, he could not get a definite answer. In desperation, Yinxiang had to find an opportunity to catch his fourth brother and ask him in person.

When asked, Yinzhen did not hide anything and directly told Yinxiang everything he and others had been busy with in the past few days.

"Thirteenth brother, just wait. Big brother said that when you ascend the throne, I will give you a great gift."

These were Yinzhi's original words. When he decided to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada, he was eager to fight and made a bold statement with high spirits: "When my thirteenth brother ascends the throne, I will give him a great gift!"

Yinzhen remembered these words clearly, and he was very clear about them now, and told Yinxiang exactly what he said.

But the constant mention of "ascending the throne" made Yinxiang hold his forehead with his hand, "Big brother is really something, he is becoming more and more casual now."

In the past, there would never be a time when the word "ascend the throne" was mentioned so often.

"But, are you really going to go out to sea right now, brother?"

Yinxiang frowned slightly and said, "In five days, it will be Khan Ama's birthday. Is he sure he wants to go out to sea at this time?"

"Couldn't he wait a few more days?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "He can't go out to sea."

Their actions in the past few days, whether arresting people or mobilizing troops, could not escape Khan Ama's eyes.

Khan Ama could allow them to do what they wanted, but the eldest brother could not go out to sea before the Longevity Festival and Khan Ama abdicated.

He and his second and eighth brothers saw this truth clearly, but his second brother was more mischievous and insisted on holding him and his eighth brother back and not allowing them to wake up their eldest brother. He loved to see the shocked and broken expression on his eldest brother's face when he found out, after everything was ready, that he could not leave Beijing at all.

"... That's my second brother's style." Yinxiang had nothing to say about this, so he stopped talking.

Then he said something else: "What about those Japanese people in the prison? How are you going to deal with them?"

If they want to ask for help and cause trouble at the same time, then just send them to see the King of Hell.

Yinxiang was filled with anger, but Yinzhen smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Let's spare their lives for now, as we still need them to have a legitimate reason to fight."

The rule passed down by our ancestors: a teacher must have a legitimate reason.

With such a group of Japanese people in their hands, they can arbitrarily accuse them of any crime and it will be enough for them to send troops to Japan.

By then, "they will become another Dzungar."
