Remember [New] for a second,! These people who are quick to report the news, why do they have to run for a month to get to the capital?
It took more time for the army to set up camp, and his father should be able to return to Beijing for a month or so.
Maybe it will be spring when his father comes back.
Hmm... just come back safely, not too short of time.
While he was thinking about it, he waited for the green pine. Before his patience was about to run out, the green pine finally came.
"Why did you come, I've been waiting eagerly."
Qingsong smiled naively: "The villains all set off on time. Is the young master hungry today?"
"It's a little bit. Every family is preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. I have been smelling it all morning."
Qingsong smiled naively, "The villain will deliver it early tomorrow?"
Zhou Yong patted his forehead, "Oh, what tomorrow is tomorrow. I've been surrounded by you. It's useless to talk nonsense, and I didn't talk about the main point."
"What is the young master going to say? When I was driving just now, the villain seemed to hear some good news from the nearby people? Do you know, young master? Is there a new notice at the city gate?"
"I just want to tell you about this. If you don't come after a long time, I almost ran back on two legs."
"The soldier who just reported the letter, hurry up and run into the city while shouting for the victory of Nanman! You go back and report to my mother in a while to make her happy."
Qingsong was also excited, "Really? Then our general is coming back? Great."
After feeding for a few days, everyone didn't need Zhou Yong to say hello now. As soon as they saw Qingsong coming, they took the initiative to surround them.
Originally wanted to wait quietly for them to finish talking and scoop up the soup, but unexpectedly heard Qingsong say that their general was coming back?
Does their general refer to Zhou Yong's father?
"My darling, is your father one of the thirty-six generals who went with the army?" Liu Dazhong asked in surprise for everyone.
"Yeah, hehe, the great victory of Nanman, my father is coming back soon. Come, let's drink the soup before talking, and let Qingsong return to the house to report the letter as soon as possible."
Liu Dazhong was pleasantly surprised and gave him a thumbs up, "I didn't expect Brother Zhou to be a stalwart, congratulations to Brother Zhou."
"Yeah, it's time to congratulate Brother Zhou. When the army returns to the DPRK, it's time for General Zhou to rise step by step."
"Congratulations, congratulations, I didn't expect that I would be fortunate enough to work with Brother Zhou, haha."
"Haha, I don't know when I'll be back? Drink the soup first, the soup first." Zhou Yong was afraid that they would say a word to each other, and he would delay time because of the long-winded words, and urged them to scoop up the soup first.
"That's right, let's hurry up and drink the soup first, we can't delay Qingsong to go back and report the letter."
Unexpectedly, it was a teenager who mixed in among them.
Everyone was very happy for Zhou Yong and the great victory of the imperial court. The next thing was peace. What the people were most worried about was that the country would fall into a chaotic war.
Qing Song hurriedly ran to the house.
Seeing him trotting over, Pei Xiu thought something was wrong, but seeing how happy he looked, it didn't look like it.
He asked jokingly: "What's the matter? I found silver, so happy?"
Qingsong smiled all over his face, "Madam, the villain is happier than picking up the silver, the eldest young master asked the villain to come back to report."
He raised his voice, "Nanman Victory!"
She stood up in surprise and took two quick steps to Qingsong, "Really? Are you sure?"
"The eldest young master asked me to come back and report, there must be no mistake, and the villain also heard the people discussing it."
"Congratulations Madam, Madam Hexi, the victory of Nanman, the general will be able to return to Beijing soon." Ginkgo came forward happily to congratulate.
Pei Xiu smiled happily, "This is the best New Year's gift! The order goes on, the monthly payment for this month will be doubled and tripled, everyone has fun!"
"Thank you ma'am!" Everyone smiled and said in unison.
The monthly payment for this month has already been distributed, but it will be doubled for the new year, and each person will be given a red envelope again after the first new year.
But the great victory of Nanman, the family celebration, will of course be tripled!
Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner everyone is happy and satisfied.
"Mom, will Dad be back soon?"
Pei Xiu said with a smile: "Yes, the army is slow to march. It should wait another two months for the spring."
He asked Zhou Yong again, "Has the announcement of today's great victory been posted?"
"Not yet, maybe it will be posted tomorrow morning, I'll keep an eye on it tomorrow morning."
She nodded.
On the other side, Nanman City is also celebrating New Year's Eve, celebrating that they have finally won the battle, and the remaining troops will be able to return to the DPRK in a few days.
When the good news was quickly delivered to the capital, Zhou Cheng and the others had not yet set off.
After breaking the city gate, they captured several vassal kings who had fled to the Nanman, but allowed the cunning Prince of Nanman to escape.
He was most familiar with the Nanman terrain, and they were the exact opposite.
The Taiwei recruited Nanman's government soldiers, dismissed the militiamen recruited in the past two years, and ordered them to return to their hometowns.
He also ordered thirty generals to lead the army out of the camp and return to Beijing, leaving only six generals and an army of 100,000 people. They planned to stay for a few more days and arrest the Prince of Nanman throughout the territory.
If the army stays out for an extra day, it will consume countless food and grass. If you can return to Beijing one day earlier, the minister of household will also lose a few hairs.
There are only a few of them left, and the marching speed will be faster when they return. Maybe they can catch up with the army and return to Beijing together.
It took less than a year to quell the rebellion of the seven vassal kings. They also considered a quick solution, and they also expropriated some of the vassal king's property as food and salaries, which also reduced the burden on the household.
Qiu Baize and the army returned to Beijing together, but Zhou Cheng and General Yun Hui were kept by the Taiwei together.
Zhou Chenghao didn't complain, but he was quite happy on the contrary, which showed that he performed well in this siege, and the captain intended to promote him.
They left behind not only to capture the prince of Nanman, but also to help with the aftermath, clean up the mess of Nanman, appease the people of Nanman, and do a good job in follow-up rectification.
The state city of Nanman was in ruins due to a war~, the city was in ruins, unsightly, the ponds and trees were abandoned, and the doors were stagnant.
Human skeletons can be seen everywhere in the streets, and they need to be dealt with immediately, otherwise the temperature in the southern barbarians will be too high, and the decay of the corpses will easily lead to plague.
The officials of the government office should also be rectified immediately. The leading prefects of the prefecture and the officials of the Wangfu were all dismissed from their posts.
Many yamen positions are vacant, waiting for officials to be dispatched by the imperial court.
The day before New Year's Eve, they received reports from the common people that they suspected to have found traces of the Prince of Nanman on the border with Bagan.
The captain personally led the troops and rushed to the border. Just on New Year's Eve, he captured the Prince of Nanman and others who were trying to escape to Bagan.
So far, the rebellion of the vassal kings in Daxia has been completely subsided, and the feudal system has also withdrawn from the stage of the Daxia Dynasty.
In the future, all the royal family members will only settle in the capital, except for the married princess.
On New Year's Eve, the Taiwei held a banquet in the old Nanman palace to reward the generals in the army and celebrate the New Year with all the officers and men.
After the first day of junior high, I ordered to get dressed up and go back to Beijing!
