Yang Guanggao said happily: "I have my wish, but I dare not invite you."
Yang Guanggao quickly wrote the letter and had it sent to the capital.
Shen Yourong sent his fourth son, Shen Shouyue, to lead them.
Shen Shouyue was in his thirties and had a calm face.
After boarding Yang Guanggao's ship, he saw that the ship was filled with large boxes.
He asked Man Gui curiously: "Man Zhenfu, what's in this?
No need for food."
Put it in a wooden box."
Mangui smiled and said: "The food is on another ship, and the weapons here are for General Mao."
Shen Shouyue could no longer remain calm and said, "Are we finally going to be promoted to Deputy General Mao and General Soldier?"
Mangui said with envy: "Yes, Vice General Mao led one hundred and ninety-seven people to the sea to conquer Zhenjiang, take back the six forts, and ensure the safety of the two thousand miles of sea territory.
This is what a man should do."
Shen Shouyue nodded repeatedly, feeling that this was indeed the right thing to say.
When will I be able to make contributions like General Mao, instead of trembling under the stern eyes of my father like now?
The two ships arrived at Pi Island a few days later, and Mao Wenlong greeted the angel with great fanfare.
Yang Guanggao shouted: "Mao Wenlong takes the order."
Mao Wenlong knelt down with his men.
Yang Guanggao said: "The emperor's edict says: Add the deputy commander-in-chief Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief Qianshi, the commander-in-chief Pingliao, to open the town of Dongjiang.
I admire this."
Mao Wenlong shouted: "Thank you Lord for your kindness, I accept the edict."
He stood up and took the edict, carefully put it away and handed it to Mao Chengzuo behind him.
Then he stepped forward and invited Yang Guanggao and others to enter the lobby to speak.
Entering the house, Yang Guanggao couldn't help but sigh.
There was only a long table and a few old chairs in the house.
He said sincerely: "General Mao, thank you for your hard work."
Mao Wenlong laughed and said: "Once you defeat the Jiannu, you will have a good life.
Imperial envoy, please take a seat."
The two of them negotiated for a while, and then sat at the table together.
Yang Guanggao said: "Today the town of Dongjiang is opened.
The Holy Spirit said that the military town should look like a military town.
All the Liao people who were originally stranded in Dongjiang should be sent to Denglai to clean up the number of soldiers in Dongjiang.
Denglai will provide full military pay. , I don’t know what General Mao’s military intentions are.”
Mao Wenlong said: "I thank the emperor for your concern.
We have 30,000 soldiers in Dongjiang Town and more than 50,000 civilians.
Please investigate clearly."
Yang Guanggao smiled and said: "I have been entrusted by the emperor to clean up the Dongjiang troops.
I will go to various places in the Dongjiang tomorrow.
Please ask General Mao to order the troops to clean up first to avoid any misunderstandings."
Mao Wenlong looked normal, but some of his men looked not so good.
Yang Guanggao ignored them and continued: "I have brought a boatload of rice and grain, and asked General Mao to send someone to transport it down.
I heard that Dongjiang Town is suffering.
Let’s let everyone have a few full meals first.”
As soon as the imperial envoy left, Chen Jisheng said: "If you take away all the Liao people, who will farm the land for us and what will the army eat?"
The other generals remained silent.
The imperial edict was about full military pay, so what the army would eat was not a problem.

In fact, what Chen Jisheng meant was who would dig for ginseng and who would trade with North Korea.
Although this area was mainly used to improve the Dongjiang River.
There is a problem of food for the soldiers, but there are still some benefits for everyone.
Mao Wenlong sighed and said: "It is only natural that soldiers should be paid.
The army will naturally have food and salary.
What are you worried about?
Get rid of the Jiannu as soon as possible and make more contributions.
It will naturally be included.
Don't say these words in the future.
It's all gone.
Come on."
After saying that, he waved his hands and walked sadly into the room.
At the imperial envoy's residence where Mao Wenlong was placed, Man Gui said: "Sir Tongzhi, I feel that General Mao is a little reluctant to let us clean up his troops."
Yang Guanggao sighed and said: "The Holy One said not to overestimate the integrity of officials.
Everyone has selfish motives.
There is nothing we can do about it.
As long as he can do well in a big way, that's all."
Man Gui retorted: "Subordinates have no selfish motives.
Whatever the Lord says, the subordinates will do it."
Yang Guanggao laughed and scolded: "You also have selfish motives.
You want to make achievements and be famous forever."
Mangui said: "The Holy One said that when selfishness reaches this level, it is no longer selfishness.
This is the greatest public spirit."
Yang Guanggao didn't want to argue with him, so he said: "Okay, I know Manzhenfu is really dedicated to the public good, okay.
Of course General Mao's business here is mainly to subsidize the military, but who knows if he has hidden some of it secretly, even now No, who knows whether he will do this in the future.
The Holy Spirit has said that giving people the possibility of making mistakes from the source is the way to cure diseases and save people.
Brace yourselves tomorrow and take a good look at the situation of the Dongjiang soldiers.
The next day, Yang Guanggao began to clean up the troops in Pidao.
His method was very simple.
He carved out a large open space on the seaside.
The Dongjiang soldiers in Pidao were divided into two parts and entered the open space from two entrances.
At the entrance, he and Mangui were alone.
Guard one, each with a few subordinates from the Guards.
Those who do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to enter the open space.
Every one who enters will be counted.
After working like this for most of a day, there are nearly 4,000 people standing in the open space.
Most of them were without armor, and most of their weapons were crude.
Yang Guanggao asked Chen Jisheng next to him: "Vice General Chen, are there still Pidao soldiers who have not been tested?"
Chen Jisheng was very unhappy, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
He said, "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, I have already experienced it, but the ones blocking the outside are our Dongjiang soldiers."
There were about seven or eight thousand Dongjiang soldiers who did not enter the open space.
None of these people were wearing armor, and the weapons they held could no longer be described as crude, because they were all wooden sticks or even brooms.
Yang Guanggao said: "It can be said that there is no armor, but the weapons must at least be made of iron.
Do you use wooden sticks to beat the slaves?"
Chen Jisheng replied unconvinced: "That day in Tieshan and Kuandian, most of us used sticks and rocks to fight back the Jiannu.

As long as there are many people, we can fight without any weapons."
"Retired slaves."
Yang Guanggao smiled and said: "Those who are physically strong here can become soldiers after being given weapons, but as you can see, Vice General Chen, most of them are sallow and thin.
How can we build slaves like this?"
Chen Jisheng said: "The reason for the sallow complexion and thin skin is because I haven't eaten enough.
I just need to eat enough for a few days and it will be fine."
Yang Guanggao said: "Haven't I paid you all the time?
Why can't you even eat?"
Chen Jisheng lowered his head but stopped talking.
At this time, Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "The imperial court has issued salary, but it belongs to the soldiers.
Other family members also get money from here to eat, so the total amount is not enough.
Please ask the imperial envoy Mingcha."
Yang Guanggao said: "It is precisely because of this that the Holy One wants to move all the people of Liao into the interior.
Only war soldiers can be kept here.
As Guanggao sees, the Dongjiang headquarters can be counted as four thousand war soldiers.
What does General Mao think?"
Mao Wenlong nodded in agreement, and in the next few days, Yang Guanggao and Man Gui went around Kuandian and other places, clearing out a total of 9,000 soldiers from Lianpi Island, and 3,000 sailors ordered by the imperial court to support them, for a total of 12,000 people
