Chapter 139: General Wuwei captures Dongyi County

Dong Chenghu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. With a big stroke, he directly appointed Dong Yuanxu as General of Wuwei. Now Dong Yuanxu became completely famous in the uprising army. A new recruit won the favor of the general in just three months after he came in. Even the general condescends to surrender to the nobles and squats down to talk to him. He was named deputy general within half a year, and became General of Wuwei in less than a year.

They can't even catch up!

After Dong Chenghu's order was passed to Yi'an County, Gouzi and Datou both looked envious. Although they knew that Yuan Ri was very powerful, they had never seen someone as powerful as him.

Now Dong Yuanxu became the object of worship by all soldiers, and his great achievements in destroying pirates spread throughout Yi'an County. For a time, Dong Yuanxu's call exceeded everything, and he became the belief of the people of Yi'an County.

Dong Yuanxu, who is believed by the people, does not have the spare time to listen to those praises. He focuses on the coastal defense of Yi'an County. In his opinion, the loopholes in Yi'an County are far from what Linhai County and Yongjia County can compare with you.

Yongjia County also has a seaside cliff as a natural barrier, so it is impossible for people who are idle to go ashore. In addition, there is now a patrol of Linhai County, so it is not a problem not to set up a special coastal defense there, but Yi'an County is different. The coastline here does not even have a small hill blocked.

If the enemy comes from the sea, they will have no way to defend. For the sake of the present, they can only use the most primitive method.

"I'm sending my order. From now on, the fishing villages by the sea will join the construction of the coastal defense wall. Each strong man who participates can receive twelve cents a day and make two meals. All villages must notify you. At the same time, we will immediately send a message to the general, and we need a large amount of money."

Dong Yuanxu ordered seriously, staring at the drawings from beginning to end, and didn't even look at the person below.

Until everyone didn't say a word, Dong Yuanxu looked up in confusion and asked, "What? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Everyone quickly shook their heads and denied them. Dong Er said with a wry smile: "General Wuwei, should you tell the general first about your money? If the general disagrees, we will start construction again. I'm afraid it's not easy to explain it then!"

Dong Er smiled bitterly. His eldest son thought it was in the Dong family! He asked for money and came out as soon as he wanted money. Even if the rebel army is under his own jurisdiction, the money usage will have to be negotiated first, and he rashly decided that everyone would rebound!

Dong Yuanxu's eyes rolled and he immediately said, "What's the difficulty? We found so many gold, silver and jewelry from the pirate's nest, and we have paid them all. Apart from the compensation given to the villagers, we have never touched a penny of silver.

The pirate has money, and the prefect and the garrison general are afraid that they are not poor. The collected property has not been clearly counted yet. After the inventory is clearly counted, the cost of building a coastal defense will be deducted, and the remaining property will be sent back and a list. If those people have something to say, we can also say that these are the people's wealth and ointment of Yi'an County. We do this just to calm the public's anger, and to win the hearts of people. If they are stolen, they can't say we can go."

Dong Er and others were speechless, but Gouzi and Datou were stunned. They couldn't help but sigh at Yuan Ri's boldness. They understood a little why Yuan Ri could sit in their current position, but they could only be soldiers. First of all, they couldn't beat him up in terms of courage.

Because Dong Yuanxu insisted, Dong Er and others had to do so. In recent years, the magistrates of Yi'an County and the generals plundered were not ordinary. The soldiers counted for five days before they could clearly count all their property.

Dong Yuanxu couldn't even look at the antique jade, and targeted the gold, silver and jewelry directly, and deducted 300,000 taels at once. At the same time, he was amnesty for Yi'an County, exempting the people from taxes for two years, and having two years to cultivate and nourish the people. I believe they should be able to recover.

Dong Er saw that the 300,000 taels were scrapped from the accounts and his eyelids were sucked. He decided to tell Dong Chenghu about the 300,000 taels of silver and not to be announced to the public. If others know about it, they will just withdraw the master. Now as long as the eldest young master is happy.

With this 300,000 taels of silver, the construction of the coastal defense wall was immediately put on the agenda.

Because the sea defense wall is used to block the attacks of the enemy at sea, it must be built high and sturdy. I am afraid that if you build it like this, it will take two or three years to build it with unity.

Dong Yuanxu had already thought about it and used the past two or three years to rectify Yi'an County. It is necessary to build Yi'an County into an iron barrel and completely cut off the difficulties of pirates here.

Dong Yuanxu worked hard to govern, and Dong Chenghu finally settled all the disharmonious voices. With the money that Dong Yuanxu sent back from Yi'an County, he immediately had a lot of confidence and began to recruit soldiers and train troops, with the goal of capturing Xuancheng County.

Time flies, like a flash of time, and three years passed in a flash. During these three years, Dong Chenghu personally led his troops to capture Xuancheng County, which once again enhanced his prestige. Dong Yuanxu, who was far away in Yi'an County, had completely established the coastal defense of Yi'an County, and had his own set of policies to manage Yi'an County in an orderly manner. The lives of the people are thriving and getting better and better day by day.

This also attracted many people from Dongyi County to move here.

Because Dongyi County is not under the jurisdiction of the rebel army, Li Jiankang is already out of reach here, and the court cannot manage it even if it wants to. In addition, Dong Chenghu has been going north and the court has no energy to deal with him, so how can he manage such a southern prefecture and county?

Dong Yuanxu and Dong Er had a plan, and simply wrote a petition for Dong Yuanxu. The petition had just been sent out and immediately rushed to Dongyi County.

With the historical lessons of Yi'an County, the resident general and the prefect surrendered directly. Although they were also greedy, they were not as exaggerated as the former prefect of Yi'an County. After consciously contributing their ordinary property, Dong Yuanxu let them go and directly took Dongyi County into his pocket without any effort.

Because Dongyi County is like Yi'an County, the sea defense loopholes are extremely large, Dong Yuanxu was depressed and used all the money he had just confiscated for the coastal defense construction. He ordered Dong Yi to stay in Dongyi County to be responsible for the coastal defense construction, and he returned to Yi'an County happily.

After learning about this, Dong Chenghu was overjoyed and praised in front of everyone: "Yen Ri is indeed a talent. He actually took down Dongyi County with one army and one soldier, which shows his shocking power!"

"General, it is naturally a blessing for us to have this talent. However, he had such skills at a young age. When his power is achieved, he will be afraid of being a second-minded!" General Yunqi met with concern.
