When talking about this topic, Yinzhen was also very helpless. Although the Qing Dynasty had been in power for more than 70 years, after Shunzhi and Kangxi's two generations of monarchs were busy and exhausted their efforts to seek governance, there were probably only millions of people who had a sense of belonging and honor for the Qing Dynasty.

Many people, merchants, gentry and even many scholars did not have a sense of belonging or honor to the Qing Dynasty. In this case, it was purely a dream to expect merchants to patriotism. They were afraid that they did not even have the concept of a country and a nation.

This matter cannot be urgent, it must be done slowly, and it must bring real benefits to merchants and the people through continuous invasion, and it must be gradually allowed to extend its tentacles into the officialdom. Only in this way can they have a sense of belonging to the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, they must gradually publish articles in the Beijing News to guide and even brainwash them to create the concept of the country.

Yinzhen glanced at Yinxiang and Yinlu. They might be their own powerful help in the future. They could take this opportunity to guide him. Thinking of this, he simply stopped and said, "Thirteenth Brother's proposal is very good, but have you ever thought about why those merchants betrayed the news of the Qing Dynasty?"

"Of course, it's for profit. The world is bustling and everyone comes for profit. They traveled far away to the Kingdom of Wazi, just for profit?" Yinxiang said disapprovingly.

Yinzhen looked at Yinlu again and said, "What did your sixteenth brother think?"

Yinlu hesitated and said, "Fourth Brother, profit-oriented is the nature of a businessman. Besides, no one realizes that they are betraying the news."

Yinzhen nodded and asked again: "If Zheng Shichang, the shopkeeper of the 'Four Great Hengs', went to the Wazi Kingdom, do you think he would betray what he knew?"

Both of them were stunned when they heard this. After pondering for a while, Yinxiang said, "No. Zheng Shichang's family interests are closely linked to the Qing Dynasty. How could he betray the news to the Wazi Kingdom?"

"Okay. I'll ask you another question." Yinzhen continued: "If European countries come to Tianjin, they don't burn, kill, rob and abduct the people, but only attack the Eight Banners Green Camp, will the people fight to the death?"

Will they fight to the death if they don’t involve the interests of the people? When the Manchus entered the pass, they received support from a large number of gentry. Before shaving their hair and changing clothes, they did not encounter any decent resistance. Not to mention that the people fought to the death. What did Lao Sisi mean? Yinxiang couldn’t figure out his thoughts for a while.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yinzhen said with certainty: "No, absolutely not! Maybe the people will lead them. When making a deal with them, the only one who will fight to the death is Manren! The reason is very simple, the interests lie."

Yinxiang and Yinlu all nodded slightly. Manchus would definitely fight to the death. If the Qing Dynasty was gone, they would have nothing left.

Yinzhen asked again: "Then think about it again, if the Netherlands fought with the Qing navy, would the coastal people make a deal with the Dutch and sell them freshwater grain and other supplies?"

"No. I don't dare!" Yinxiang pondered: "There are most children of coastal people in the navy. Who dares to help the Dutch? They will inevitably be despised by the families of their children in the navy and even beaten to death."

Yinlu said at this time: "The fourth brother's sedan chair is here."

The fourth brother has returned to Beijing? Yinzhen turned his head and saw that it was indeed a ceremonial guard of Prince Yong's mansion. Yinxiang's heart was also shocked. Why did the fourth brother return to Beijing? Then he thought about it, but he was relieved. The fourth brother was stranded in Jiangning, which was not hidden. If he did not return to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, Kangxi would not know what he would think of him?

As soon as the sedan chair landed, Prince Yong Yinzhen bowed and crawled out of the sedan chair, saying with a smile on his face: "Fourth brother, thirteenth brother, thirteenth brother, why are you standing by the road chatting, but are you waiting for someone?"

"I've met the fourth brother." Yinxiang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Fourth brother, don't be fine." Yinzhen also smiled and went up to greet him.

After the ceremony, Yinzhen explained: "The Emperor Ama's sixty-year-old birthday is expected to be the 14th brother who will definitely return to Beijing. He rushed all the way, but it was still half a step late. I will go to see the Emperor Ama first and let me know in advance if I leave Beijing."

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother." Yinzhen smiled and said goodbye to him, "It's half a step late, and he obviously doesn't want to walk with us. However, during this birthday celebration, all the brothers were all together.

When Yinzhen left, Yinxiang continued, "I don't understand what the 14th brother meant just now. Can you please give me some more?"

"This is a big article." Yinzhen chuckled and said, "It's really inappropriate for us three brothers to stand here. There are too many officials coming and going. Let's continue talking."

Yinlu said depressedly: "Wouldn't that be without sixteen?"

"There are opportunities in the future, so there is no need to worry about the 16th brother." Yinzhen comforted with a smile.

As the news of Yinzhen returning to Beijing spread, the gate of Prince Heng's mansion immediately became bustling with traffic. As soon as Yinzhen got out of the sedan chair, he saw the numerous sedan chairs at the door, and he couldn't help but nod. Judging from this attitude, Kangxi had already announced the candidates for overseas bans.

Bao Fuquan and the old horse head had already been waiting aside. Seeing Yinzhen out of the sedan chair, he hurriedly beat Qian'er to pay his respects. Yinzhen slightly said, "Report to the master, all the princes and Beile are waiting in Yin'an Hall."

Yinzhen nodded slightly and headed straight to Yin'an Hall. As soon as he climbed the steps, Prince Jian Yaerjiang A and Prince Yu Baotai came out first. Yinzhen smiled and said, "Why do you need two brothers to come in person? Just condemn others to inquire."

"Haha, it's hard to see the 14th brother at ease now. Such a great opportunity is not to be missed." Yaer Jiang A smiled happily.

"This is the truth." Prince Yu Baotai continued: "Please please in, everyone in the room is looking forward to you."

When he entered the hall, Yinzhen glanced at the princes and ministers in the room, bowed in groups and said, "I'm sorry for all uncles, brothers, nephews. There are too many people, and this etiquette is really difficult to be comprehensive. Everyone doesn't need to be polite. Please sit down." As he said that, he sat down directly and then raised his voice and said, "The expedition to America is initially scheduled to be in early June, and the departure location is in Manila."

Although the royal family members knew where Manila was, they were not clear about the specific situation. Prince Yu Baotai stood up and glanced at everyone, and then said, "Fourth brother, when will we set off from Tianjin Port? How many days will we take to arrive in Manila? What supplies should we bring? There are some things to pay attention to. We have not taken a boat to the sea. I hope the Fourteenth brother will plan for us for these matters."

Yinzhen didn't know how Kangxi was enfeoffed. The group division was certain, but how many groups were divided? How to distribute them in South and North America? It all needed specific discussions, and it would definitely not work like this mess. He smiled and said, "Everyone, Tianjin is from Manila, and it doesn't take half a month to get there. However, it's best for you to set off before April to get to Manila. As for carrying supplies, the precautions must be explained clearly in just a few words.

Later, I will organize it into a book and distribute it to you, ensuring that everyone has a copy. In addition, there are many details to discuss about the ceasing matters. If there are too many people, it will be useless. Do you each issue a representative to leave it to discuss?" (To be continued)
