The Northwest War lasted for more than two years.
It ended with General Wu leading the Northwest Army and capturing sixteen cities in the South.
This is not to say that the Northwest Army cannot fight, but because of the continuous battles, the people will suffer in the end, and it will cost them money.
In addition, after the Khan King of the Southern Kingdom was dealt with, the remaining branches began to fight among themselves, and then the Southern Kingdom directly fell into chaos and was re-divided into different tribes.
Various tribes were at odds with each other, and some surrendered voluntarily, and then offered various treasures to Dayue in order to survive in the cracks.
There are also some who are stubborn and have backbone, who just don't surrender, but want to be beaten and harassed from time to time.
There is no need to fight anymore in the South. The remaining bits and pieces of territory have little meaning after being conquered because of the bad climate and low temperature.
Therefore, the emperor finally discussed with General Wu and decided to use the sixteen cities as the boundary to stop the war that had been going on for more than two years.
This move shocked other countries adjacent to Dayue. Some of them were a little cautious in the past, but now they are honest and honest.
Although Dayue's two-year campaign was indeed a waste of people and money.
However, because of the breeding and fertilization before the winter warmed up, the entire Dayue had a good harvest for several years, so it was only a small consumption of military supplies. For Dayue, it was actually okay and within the acceptable range.
Therefore, they still have the ability to fight again, and their fighting power is strong.
Sometimes, strength is the last word.
Those neighboring countries naturally know that Dayue is now very powerful, so how can they dare to harass him?
Occasionally, if you are dishonest and make some small moves, you will be beaten to the point of peeing. After that, you will be honest and don't dare to mess around again.
In two years, life here in Dongnuan has not been affected too much.
Hanjianglou has been doing well in the household department, and his whole person is becoming more and more like the style of Mr. Xu in the past.
Pick.
Yes, Hanjiang Tower is very stingy when it comes to official matters now.
Don't ask, you just don't have the money.
Hey, I finally feel the happiness that Magistrate Xu and Lord Xu had in the past.
Of course, aside from official business, Hanjiang Tower is actually very generous.
In the past few years, when I have nothing to do in winter, I have been working on glass houses, vegetables, or other things.
New species are constantly arriving from the southwest and northwest, and not many can be sustained.
But it has indeed enriched the entire Dayue dining table.
A lot of green vegetables and beans have been added. At least they taste good and are much better than wild vegetables. The main reason is that many vegetables are also suitable for drying and are convenient for winter storage. Even if people don’t have glass houses, they won’t be able to store them in winter.
If there are no vegetables to eat, I always eat some radish and cabbage.
Because of Dong Nuan's various contributions, His Majesty has recently been studying the matter of promoting her to the title of Marquis.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is that the northwest army has returned triumphantly. All the soldiers have fought for more than two years, and they are all meritorious.
At this time, it is naturally them who deserve to be rewarded based on their merits.
There is no rush about Dong Nuan's matter. The emperor knows it well and will not lose her.
Dong Nuan himself doesn't care. If nothing happens, he just watches Nao Nao's Enlightenment. When the little girl is older, she can be sent to Chanjuan Academy.
Yes, Chanjuan Academy.
This is a newly built girls' academy here in the capital last year.
Although it is said that women cannot take exams, women still need to read and write, and they also need to be able to calculate accounts and so on.
After all, the wife of each family has to take charge of the family affairs. How can she not do this?
In the past, the parents of each family would take care of them, and then the wives would be invited to come to the house.
Now there is no need to worry about this. With a wave of his hand, His Majesty directly opened a girls' academy.
Any woman of suitable age can be sent there.
In addition to enlightenment, there are also various promotion classes.
Although I can't take the exam, reading and writing is not a problem.
Dong Nuan felt that if the noise got louder, he would send him there for a more formal initiation.
She doesn't have many requirements for her children, she just wants the little girl to live happily.
When she was born, it was already the end for many people, and it didn't matter if she didn't work hard.
However, Nao Nao seems to have been a master of paper writing since he was a child.
Anyway, under the leadership of Mr. Han, the little girl studied very hard.
While watching Nao Nao writing, I was chatting with Di Jin.
"I heard that the generals in the northwest can return to the city in the next two days. It's great." Di Jin felt that it was great that the war in the northwest was over. She didn't have any family members in the northwest, but she had a distant cousin who went to the military camp.
She actually doesn't know what's going on now.
Di Jin is already quite old now, and her bond of sale is over there in the palace.
Therefore, after reaching the age, you can be released to get married.
This is a choice based on Dijin. Although it is quite easy to use her in Dongnuan, you cannot delay the life of this little girl just because of this.
Dong Nuan had also asked Di Jin before, and she was willing to go out and get married.
Therefore, Dong Nuan had already told His Majesty early in the morning that he would help arrange Di Jin's departure from the palace. He also prepared a lot of money here as a way of thanking her for her service over the past few years.
When Dijin mentioned that the Northwest Army was returning to the city, Dongnuan smiled and couldn't help but think of Wu Ruoruo and Meng Zheng.
In fact, Dong Nuan and the eldest son of the Meng family really have nothing in common.
But I couldn't stand it. Meng Rong's letters always mentioned that occasionally the eldest princess would host a banquet and she would say a few words to Dong Nuan.
So Dong Nuan knew that this man won another battle, was injured again, and made meritorious deeds again...
Nowadays, it is said that the military position is not low. I think he will get a lot of rewards when he comes back. In comparison, his wife should be more happy.
After all, I have been fighting for several years without returning home, and now I can finally come back. How great it is.
Wu Ruoruo also fought for more than two years and never came back. Dong Nuan felt that if she didn't come back, the children might not recognize her.
The other party's eldest brother, Mr. Wu Jian, has now also joined the household department and became a subordinate of Hanjiang Tower.
However, his official rank is low, so he is not considered to be at the top.
The other party was very capable and did not stay long in the Hanlin Academy before he was transferred out by His Majesty.
According to Hanjianglou, his ability is really good. Although his official rank is low now, he can be promoted in a few years.
Hanjianglou is also very happy to have a capable subordinate.
If Wu Ruoruo and the others can come back, I think Mr. Wu and the Nian family should all be very happy.
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan couldn't help but squinted his eyes and sighed: "Yes, it's great. It'll be nice if we all come back."
As soon as Dong Nuan finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, which was quite loud.
Di Jin was startled and went over to ask about the situation.
After a while, Di Jin came back with a cheerful smile on his face. After coming over, he was still a few steps away when he stopped caring about etiquette and shouted: "Master, you are back, you are back, northwest
The army has entered the city!"
As Di Jin finished speaking, the sound of gongs and drums outside clearly reached Dong Nuan's ears.
The servants in the house couldn't help but want to watch the fun. Dongnuan waved his hand generously, indicating to them to go and watch: "Be safe!"
It was so lively outside. After Nao Nao stopped writing, he poked his head out curiously. He couldn't see anything, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Mom, did something happen?"
Hearing her question, Dong Nuan raised his hand and touched the little girl's head, and said softly: "Well, the northwest is triumphant, and the city is bustling."
Nao Nao thought about it with his little head. After a long time, he didn't know whether he had figured it out or not. Anyway, the child raised his head and said crisply: "This is a good thing, then we should
Let’s set off some firecrackers to celebrate, I remember there are still leftovers from the New Year in the warehouse in the backyard.”
After Nao Nao finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Dong Nuan longingly.
Today is indeed a good day and should be celebrated.
So Dong Nuan stood up, took Nao Nao's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, mother will accompany you!"
Naonao cheered happily, and before she even took a step forward, she saw that Hanjianglou had arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. The little girl was stunned for a moment, but after she realized what she was doing, she jumped up happily: "Daddy is back too!"
Dong Nuan also heard the footsteps and turned back together. When she saw Hanjiang Tower coming back, she was a little surprised: "Why are you back at this time?"
Hanjianglou strode over, stretched out his hand to pull the two of them over, smiled and said: "The Northwest Army has triumphantly returned, and His Majesty has specially agreed to let everyone go back home early so that we can have some fun together."
Dong Nuan nodded after hearing this: "Then a family of three will come together?"
Han Jianglou nodded lightly with the corner of his lips next to him, and while he was not paying attention, he kissed Dong Nuan's hair again, his voice was deep and hoarse, with an ambiguous hint: "Well, I listen to my wife."
The family of three walked briskly towards the backyard, even their backs looked happy.
Today is indeed a good day, for His Majesty, for the Northwest Army, for the people in the city, and for Dong Nuan and his family of three.
