Chapter 790 - 377: Living Off a Woman (For Milan Two +)_1
The three children caught sight of Qian Yixiu and immediately started shouting, "Mommy," as they ran towards her. The little brothers took care of their sister and didn’t dare to run too fast.
Already two and a half years old, the little brothers looked like children of three or four, absolutely beautiful and robust boys.
Sisi was also a year and a half old, so beautiful it was ridiculous, resembling Pan Yue or Prince Consort Pan more than Qian Yixiu, looking even more like Qian Yijing’s own little sister. Her hair was a bit curly, not the malnutrition-induced curls of Qian Yixiu’s childhood, but natural, bouncy curls. Tied up in two little tufts, they looked like two small chrysanthemum flowers on top of her head. The chrysanthemums, layered upon each other, fluttered in the wind toward Qian Yixiu.
Qian Yixiu felt this moment was the happiest, her heart melting into a puddle. She quickened her pace, bent down to pick up Sisi, kissed her twice, and laughed, "Mommy’s treasure."
Sisi wrapped her arms around her mommy’s neck, pressed her little face close to her mommy’s big face, and giggled, "Sisi missed Mommy."
Brother Cheng and Brother Xin each clung to one of Qian Yixiu’s legs, vying to say, "Xin, Daddy’s letter, Daddy is coming back soon."
As soon as they mentioned Daddy, the two little boys’ tongues twisted shyly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Yixiu was overjoyed. At the end of last year, she had received a letter from Liang Jinzhao, stating that the Navy had initially formed and the manufacturing of cannons suitable for ships was on the right track, with bird guns already being produced.
Last year, they fought several times against the red-haired pirates who harassed Daqian with advanced firearms and the Wokou, defeating those people and sending them fleeing in disorder. Liang Jinzhao had then realized that Qi Chengguang was an exceptional commander in naval battles, even stronger than Liang Jinzhao himself. Therefore, Liang Jinzhao proposed to the Emperor that he step aside for Qi Chengguang to take over as Admiral of the Navy. It didn’t matter if he returned to the Capital City or not; if not, he would assist Qi Chengguang.
He also requested His Majesty to rename the Navy as the Marine Corps to better portray the vigor of this new type of military force.
The Emperor was extremely pleased after reading the petition and highly praised Liang Jinzhao’s selfless work ethic in the court. He also sent an envoy to decree the approval of the Navy’s name change to the Marine Corps, instructing Liang Jinzhao to hand over affairs clearly, and return to the Capital City for another significant appointment. Meanwhile, Qi Chengguang was appointed as the Admiral of the Daqian Marine Corps. Duke Liang was to stay outside for a while longer to assist Qi Chengguang for some time.
