Chapter 2905 Protracted

The rewards and money that should be given are naturally indispensable.

She herself hadn't saved much money over the years, so Yun Dai opened a private treasury and got some money for her. Together with Yan'er's reward, it was enough for her to live a good life with her aunt.

A carriage with green curtains took her out of the palace.

In addition to a lot of rewards from the palace, she only brought two personal maids.

When the carriage drove out of the imperial city, she stuck her head out and looked at the gorgeous and majestic palace. She felt that the past ten years had been like a dream.

I thought it would be hard to leave, but when I actually took this step, I felt a little relieved.

After the New Year, the child returned to Northern Qi again. Before leaving, he took away a sum of two million in silver.

Half a million of them came from the treasury, and the remaining 1.5 million was transferred from Beixing Company by Yun Dai to Gu Chengan.

Beixing Company took over the original Lu family's business, and all the money it earned was spent in Beiqi.

After Lu Yiping's death, the firm once again closed in on Beiqi's business, and the situation gradually stabilized.

But the situation in Northern Qi was becoming more and more chaotic, and uprisings, large and small, were emerging one after another across the country.

The people of Northern Qi still valued Xiao very highly and regarded Xiao as the true son of Northern Qi.

Many people took advantage of the people's mentality and incited troubles everywhere, claiming that they were dissatisfied with the brutal behavior of the Zhou Dynasty and demanded that Northern Qi become independent and were unwilling to rely on Zhou anymore.

There were several rebel armies that used religion as a pretext to persuade people to join the uprising, and they were quite powerful. Once this side is extinguished, the other side pops up again.

I thought there would be trouble, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

The waiter had a very difficult time coping there.

The imperial court urgently sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses for reinforcements.

Since it was a war, military pay was needed, so I managed to scrape together two million taels and let the children take them there.

The worst thing is that the weather in Northern Qi is so cold that the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty cannot adapt to it at all. They shrink from fighting and are no match for the rebels of Northern Qi.

Apart from Zhou Yizhi, the only other general in the imperial court who had experience in fighting in the Northern Qi Dynasty was King Zhao Shu of Qin.

But now that he is the regent, how can he be easily involved in danger?

But if you send someone else there, you will most likely suffer losses in Northern Qi.

When he was hesitating, Mingwei took the initiative to ask for help.

Mingwei had also been in Northern Qi. Although he had never been a commander, he had some experience and was better than others.

After discussion, the Military Aircraft Department agreed to Ming Wei's request.

Ming Jing's eldest son Ming Wuchen and Ming Xuan's son Ming Cheng also requested orders to follow Ming Wei to fight in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Ming Wuchen has been following his uncle, and Mingcheng is even better. He has been trained in the army at a young age, and he is already an adult in a thousand households. He is considered brave and good at fighting.

It is somewhat similar to King Qin’s military experience when he was young.

Bringing them two along will make everyone in the Hou Mansion feel relieved.

This battle lasted for three months, and it was not until early summer that the two largest rebel armies were completely wiped out.

But the Northern Qi Dynasty also became riddled with holes and was no longer the prosperous appearance it had when Zhao Yuanjing was in power.

Although the losses were heavy, this protracted war also completely erased the Xiao family's name from Northern Qi, allowing Xiao Er to gain a firm foothold in Northern Qi.

From now on, Northern Qi will be just a piece of land belonging to the Great Zhou Dynasty and will no longer enjoy any special treatment. Instead, it will need to pay the same taxes and fulfill the same obligations as corvee soldiers like other counties.

From Zhao Yuanjing to Zhao Junyu, it took ten years to finally defeat and surrender Northern Qi from a country with comparable strength to the Great Zhou, and now it has completely become a part of the Great Zhou.
