They just saw Long Chen fighting against the local tyrants and sharing the land. The people supported Long Chen and felt that they could take the opportunity to recruit soldiers in the city.

But Long Chen shook his head and said, "These people cannot be used. Many of them have unclear backgrounds. If we turn against each other, we will not be able to withstand it."

Zhang Qian said: "As a person, you must always be grateful. If the adults distribute the property of the third ancestors to them, they should fight for the adults."

Wu Jian also said: "Even if you don't fight for the adults, you should fight to protect your property."

Long Chen shook his head and smiled, and said helplessly: "I just distributed the property just to stabilize them, and I hope they don't make trouble."

"Besides, even if they are willing to join the war, they have been coerced by pirates for 20 years, and everyone is afraid of pirates. When they arrive on the battlefield, they dare not fight at all."

As the saying goes, under the accumulation of power, the slavery is so strong that these people dare to fight against pirates.

Bai Tingting walked in quietly and stood beside him and eavesdropped.

"Then you say that, the entire coast has been beaten by pirates. Who dares to fight against pirates?"

Long Chen turned around and looked at Bai Tingting, then turned to look at Wu Xiangyun.

"Are only the people of Zhenhai County dare to fight against pirates?"

Bai Tingting said it is not unreasonable. Recruiting soldiers must find people who dare to fight against pirates.

Wu Xiangyun nodded and shook his head again.

"You nodded and shook your head, what does this mean?"

Dugu Jiali was confused by Wu Xiangyun.

Wu Xiangyun said: "I mean the people of Zhenhai County do dare to fight, but not all of them. Our family only recruited more than 3,000 people to protect themselves, and now almost all of these people have died in battle."

"But, in fact, people in many places along the coast dare to fight because the government does not care, and many of their villages unite to protect themselves."

Long Chen asked, "Can you find these villages? Let them enter the city and join the army."

Wu Xiangyun said: "I can find it, but it's hard to say whether they come or not. It's the adults who know it, the government in the past didn't care at all, and they didn't believe in officials."

If the people do not believe in the government, it must be that the government is corruption and inaction, which will make the people's hearts cold.

"Person Wu, take Yuan Tengfei and Chen Zu's heads and search all the villages you can find around you."

"Tell them that when the third ancestor of Qianjiang County was killed, the pirates would immediately take revenge and let their entire village go to the city to hide. I would take those who were willing to join the army. I would protect them if they were not. I would give them money when they joined the army. Each person would give them ten taels of silver. Take the money over and send it on the spot!"

Wu Jian knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately stood up and called on the cavalry guards. Dugu Jiali added 100 cavalry to Wu Jian.

Everything was done and Long Chen sent Wu Jian and Wu Xiangyun out.

"Miss Wu, please!"

Long Chen bowed to Wu Xiangyun.

Wu Xiangyun replied, "Don't worry, sir, I have a grudge against the pirates!"

Wu Xiangyun got on the horse and Wu Jian took more than 100 cavalrymen and carried silver to the city.

Long Chen sent some cavalry to the surrounding villages, towns and counties, telling them to run inland immediately and fight in a few days.

Back at the governor's mansion, Long Chen immediately started to set up defenses with Dugu Jiali and Zhang Qian.

Long Chen has only more than 900 people left. These people are obviously not enough to defend a county town, and can only defend in some important positions.

There is not enough manpower, so we can get the equipment.

Long Chen moved all the crossbows collected from the governor's mansion and the third ancestor's house to the city wall, and dug a trench outside the East City Gate, burying turret oil in the trench.

Standing on the city wall, Dugu Jiali's long hair was flying in the evening breeze, and a faint body fragrance wafted over. Long Chen looked at the lights in the city and felt a little dazed.

Before I knew it, I had been traveling to this world for almost two years.

The political struggles, wars, and beauty that used to be fantasized now.

And I am the hero who is messing with the world.

"What do you think of by sir?"

Dugu Jiali glanced at Long Chen and then hurriedly looked away.

Long Chen smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how I would thank General Dugu when I'm repelling the pirates."

Dugu Jiali said: "The last general is a soldier, and following the adults is his job, so I dare not say thank you."

Long Chen smiled and said, "I will reward you for your merits, so I will thank you very much. Every time I finished a war, I would have bathed with the princess, so let's go together."

Dugu Jiali suddenly turned around and left. She thought Long Chen was serious, but she didn't expect that she suddenly became inappropriate.

"General Dugu, let's talk for a while, don't leave."

Long Chen shouted with a smile.

Zhang Qian came over from behind and mocked, "Three words are not serious, so I will scare people away."

Long Chen hugged Zhang Qian's waist and smiled and said, "It's shyer than you. When we met on the first day, you just quit in front of me."

Zhang Qian blushed and cursed: "You are not lying to me, shameless!"

The bonfire was clear on the city walls, and soldiers patrolled back and forth to prevent pirates from attacking.

Getting down from the city and returning to the governor's mansion, Feng He appeared in the room.

"Have you found out about the news?"

Long Chen sat down and asked.

These days, Feng He not only spyed at the news in the city, but also spyed at the surrounding county towns, and all the people from the West Factory were released.

Feng He said: "The incident in Qianjiang County has spread. The Guidao will probably get news the day after tomorrow, which means they will attack here in as early as four days."

Long Chen knocked on the table and closed his eyes to calculate: "In four days, Wu Jian and the others will come back tomorrow afternoon as soon as possible, and I don't know how many soldiers will come back."

Zhang Qian frowned and said, "Those villagers must train as a team, and only two days can be trained at most, and their combat effectiveness is a problem."

Feng He said: "Sir, there is still good news."

Long Chen looked at Feng He, and Feng He said, "Wu Xiangyun's sister Wu Chuchu is not dead. She is in Wuxianling, Zhenhai County. She may have more than 4,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people under her command."

Long Chen hurriedly said, "Come her here."

Feng He said helplessly: "Sir, I'll go find her, but she doesn't believe me."

The Wu family in Zhenhai was destroyed by the government and the pirates. If Feng He went to find someone, he might be killed.

Zhang Qian wanted to let Wu Xiangyun go, but Wu Xiangyun was not here at this time and there was no suitable person to be an envoy.

Long Chen said: "There must be people who fled from Zhenhai County in the city, so they will bring some people to tell Wu Chuchu."

Feng He thought for a while and said, "Maybe it can do it."

Long Chen said to Zhang Qian: "You go, find a few people, ride a fast horse, if you are willing to go, give 100 taels of silver as a reward!"

For the fleeing people, one hundred taels of silver is enough for them to settle down again, and there will be a brave man under the heavy reward.

Zhang Qian immediately went out to find someone, and soon found five people, one of whom also knew Wu Chuchu.

Zhang Qian explained the matter clearly and gave 100 taels of silver in person.

Anyway, they just went to find someone, not fighting desperately. The five of them agreed and went to Wuxianling with Zhang Qian overnight.

Everyone has scattered, and how much they can come back depends on God's will.

"They all have tasks, where are me?"

Bai Tingting suddenly walked out and asked with some displeasure.

Long Chen didn't count Bai Tingting in at all and said, "Miss, just don't make trouble."

Bai Tingting said unhappily: "I'm here to make meritorious contributions. If you don't give me a task, how can I make meritorious contributions?"

Long Chen laughed and said, "Miss Bai, you are not my subordinate, why do you make contributions under my command?"

Bai Tingting gritted her teeth and struggled with pain. She was a person with strong self-esteem and a very stubborn mouth.

She couldn't hold on to her to do things under Long Chen, but if she didn't give up, she wouldn't have the chance to make a contribution.

After struggling for a long time, Bai Tingting said, "I'll follow your command. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Long Chen said in surprise: "You really obey my command?"

Bai Tingting nodded.

Long Chen thought about it seriously and said, "There is only one task, I'm afraid you won't want it."

Bai Tingting said happily: "Sir, please give me instructions, and you will follow me!"

Long Chen said very seriously: "Zhang Qian is gone, please sleep with me."

Bai Tingting's happy expression froze on her face, and a nameless fire ignited in her heart. She pointed at Long Chen and cursed: "Die eunuch, you are shameless!"

Bai Tingting turned around and left the yamen in anger. Long Chen followed behind with a smile and said, "Miss Bai, don't leave, I'll be serious."

Long Chen walked outside the door and suddenly saw a noisy street, with hundreds of people rushing to the gate of the governor’s mansion with torches.

Seeing this, Dugu Jiali immediately held up her knife and stopped her in front, shouting: "What are you doing!"
