The front-line armies of Dai Viet and Beichen Lingjiang fought back and forth, but because of the advantages in equipment and logistics, Dai Viet still had the upper hand overall.
The rear areas of the three countries were also in turmoil. Although it did not appear as intense as the front lines on the surface, undercurrents were already surging beneath the seemingly calm surface.
The three countries had no fewer spies planted in each other's countries. However, this put Daiyue under greater pressure, as they were facing spies from two countries.
Prime Minister Ou, who was in charge of this matter, was extremely busy and had no time to rest, especially in the early stages, when the pressure was even greater.
As for the farmland that the Minister of Revenue and Prime Minister Liu were in charge of, due to the current speed of information flow, a small number of areas suffered varying degrees of damage because they were not notified in time.
Fortunately, Dai Viet reacted quickly enough, and the losses were manageable. It wasn't until the autumn harvest was complete that the burden of this tragedy finally fell.
From the entire autumn harvest process to the delivery of tax-collected grain to granaries in various places, all links are completed under strict protection measures.
At the end of the autumn harvest, everyone had smiles on their faces, even though the best time for promoting the planting of sweet potatoes and potatoes was missed and the yield was severely reduced, mainly because the potatoes were small in size.
But Liao Sheng did not think that the reduced output was a surprise for farmers who had been dealing with the land for a long time. What's more, there was no tax on potatoes and sweet potatoes this year.
As for the small number of areas where farmland was damaged, the court directly exempted taxes, and the court's disaster relief grain had been delivered to the area and placed in warehouses near the relevant cities, under the supervision of special personnel.
As a result of the reforms of the Dai Viet Dynasty, various operating mechanisms, especially those for dealing with emergencies, have been greatly improved.
Although it is impossible to completely eradicate corruption and deceiving superiors and subordinates, these levels are within the control of the court.
As for the disaster relief grain, it was dispatched from the granaries of relatively wealthy cities, and some were purchased from the hands of relatively wealthy people at a certain market price.
Speaking of this acquisition, we have to say that the emperor and the prince really studied the book on economics that Ye Han bought for them seriously.
In the past, it was likely that taxes would be directly increased or the court would withdraw grain from the national treasury. It was simple and crude, and everything was based on policy measures, with little consideration of economic measures and factors.
Obviously, this operation has some meaning of macroeconomic regulation.
The people who had some surplus food were naturally happy about this operation. In addition, the anxiety of the people in the damaged areas was also calmed by the gradual arrival of food and the stabilization of food prices.
Beichen and Lingjiang had already made arrangements at home before taking action, so Dayue did not gain any advantage. In other words, Dayue suffered a loss in the competition in the rear.
The war lasted for two years. During these two years, Dai Viet relied on its strong logistical support to exhaust Beichen and Lingjiang.
It also proves the saying that wars are fought with logistics, which has always been applicable regardless of ancient or modern times.
Almost all the royal family members of Beichen and Lingjiang died on the battlefield. For example, the regent of Beichen was the first royal family member to die on the battlefield.
After two years of struggle, Yue Chengyu seized the opportunity and launched a general offensive. When it came to the final decisive battle, the young emperor of Beichen led the army in person.
But no matter what, the defeat could not be reversed, the outcome was set, and the little emperor of Beichen was eventually shot to death.
When the Emperor of Beichen was shot by an arrow and was on the verge of death, he held on to his last breath and met Yue Chengyu and said
"Prince Rui, Beichen was ultimately defeated. Now Beichen is no longer able to resist. I will order his surrender.
You can do whatever you want with the royal family and nobles, but the common people are innocent."
The little emperor of Beichen endured the severe pain, but still expressed what he wanted to say in a clear and logical manner.
The young emperor did not ask for anything from the royal family and nobles. It was rare for someone to destroy another country and still keep the royal family of that country. The royal family would be wiped out, and this was the predetermined outcome.
Regardless of his position, Yue Chengyu still admired the Emperor of Beichen from a personal perspective. He was a qualified emperor, both in terms of ability and his willingness to get things done.
"Get you some medicine?"
"No need. Dying on the battlefield like this might be the best outcome. You haven't answered my question yet."
"Don't worry, no one would complain that their country's population is too large."
"Then I'm relieved. Please leave. I don't want my enemies to see my miserable state."
After hearing what the little emperor Beichen said, Yue Chengyu walked away to take care of other things, leaving Beichen's main account under strict guard.
"Your Majesty." The little emperor's personal eunuch grew up with the little emperor. Although his face was full of sadness, he still held it back.
"Okay, let's grind it."
The little emperor picked up the pen tremblingly and wrote the imperial edict of surrender with great difficulty.
After finishing writing, perhaps the energy that was supporting me was drained away at once, and I collapsed, not breathing.
When Yue Chengyu received the news, he ordered people to bury the emperor of Beichen with dignity.
Beichen's side is finished, and Lingjiang's side has also reached the final stage.
The news of the great victory arrived in the capital of Dai Viet two days later.
The emperor looked very happy. When Ye Han received the news, the heavy burden that had been hanging in his heart for two years finally fell to the ground.
In the past two years, Ye Han has been busy with business in Modern in order to avoid idle thoughts. Ye Han has the ability, and with the various resources at her disposal, she has really achieved some results.
Orders for the food processing plant have been steadily increasing, and another production line was added last year.
Hua Qianshu took two years to become one of the leading Hanfu brands.
Relying on the unique resources at Ye Han's disposal, it is famous for its exquisite workmanship, embroidery and expensive fabrics.
Therefore, although Hua Qianshu’s clothes are not cheap, they still receive rave reviews, and even those who have bought them think that they are a great bargain.
Instead, it has become synonymous with high cost performance.
Now, offline stores have opened in several first-tier cities across the country. The original first employee of Hua Qianshu, that is, the customer service representative, has now become the manager of Hua Qianshu. A senior executive, he enjoys a certain amount of dividends.
After Beichen's front-line troops were defeated, Yue Chengyu's journey from the border to Beichen's capital was quite smooth.
There was already a letter of surrender from the Emperor of Beichen, and on top of that, almost all the troops were on the front lines of Beichen, so the domestic garrison that maintained normal order was simply unable to resist.
Yue Chengyu spent two months to deal with the Beichen affairs. As soon as the officials from Dayue arrived to take over, Yue Chengyu prepared to return to the court.
In the past two years, Yue Chengyu and Ye Han only communicated through letters and had never met in person.
The correspondence was still only once a month, but as soon as the handover official arrived in Dai Viet, Yue Chengyu's heart had already flown back to the capital.
Therefore, Yue Chengyu completed the handover as quickly as possible and immediately returned to the capital without wasting a single day.
