Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 414
After the flood problem was settled, Wu Tian continued to ask Li Bing.

"Li Aiqing is proficient in water conservancy. I don't know if I know a general who is good at water warfare?"

Li Bing looked at Wu Tian in puzzlement.

Wu Tian looked at his expression, smiled slightly, and said: "Let me tell you the truth, Liang Guo's army is invincible on land, but if it is to fight at sea, it is indeed seriously lacking in this aspect. And Wa Kingdom, which is located on the opposite bank of the Koryo region, Although they are driven back to their hometown by us now, they will never give up and will make a comeback one day. If they want to attack our country of Liang, they can only attack from the sea."

"I asked this question just in case. If Aiqing knows, you can tell me. If the person you recommend is really talented and learned, I will definitely reward you. In addition, you will be promoted to a noble It will be all right."

Hearing Wu Tian's words, Li Bing stood up, bowed his hands to him, and said, "Your Majesty is taking precautions against the future. I admire you very much. I know a general who is good at water warfare. His name is Li Shilang. People from the south of the Yangtze River now live in Fuzhou, as the prefect of Fuzhou. If Your Majesty can recruit all of them and put them to good use, I can assure you that our Liang Guo Navy will become even stronger."

Hearing Li Bing's praise of Li Shilang, Wu Tian immediately became interested.

"Okay, since Li Aiqing recommended this Li Shilang so much, I will let him come to Youzhou City to take charge of the navy and be responsible for training Liang Guo's navy."

"In this way, Liang Guo will definitely be more prosperous."

On the same day, Wu Tian issued an imperial edict ordering Li Shilang, the magistrate of Fuzhou County, to go to Youzhou.

Li Shilang won the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty, but was relegated to the Fuzhou county magistrate because he was rejected by Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.

In Fuzhou, he has been observing hydrology and reading military books.

When the Japanese invaded from the sea, he once replaced the then General Zhenhai and led [-] Fuzhou soldiers to fight the Japanese at sea.

He defeated more than 100 Japanese people and burned more than [-] warships.

This great achievement should have been rewarded.

But Emperor Song believed Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's words, saying that Li Shilang, as a county magistrate, did not manage the affairs of the county government well, but intervened in the affairs of the army by leapfrogging, which was a big taboo in the Song Dynasty.

Song Emperor listened to Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's words, not only did not reward Li Shilang, but also issued an order to punish Li Shilang.

If it hadn't been for the people of Fuzhou to jointly sign the letter, Li Shilang would have been killed already.

After this incident, Li Shilang no longer cared about the naval affairs, and focused on handling Fuzhou's government affairs.

After the Song Dynasty was replaced by Liang Guo, although Li Shilang felt that the time was coming, especially Wu Tian's performance over the years made him feel like he couldn't wait for time.

Finally, the imperial decree reached Fuzhou.

In the imperial decree, Wu Tian clearly summoned Li Shilang alone.

The county magistrate frowned slightly, looked at the eunuch who passed the decree, and said with a smile: "Eunuch, I don't know what your majesty wants to do with Li Shilang?"

The eunuch gave the county magistrate a blank look, and shouted: "Is it your job as a little county magistrate to take care of His Majesty's affairs?"

The county magistrate quickly shut up.

Li Shilang's face was calm, and he bowed his hands to the eunuch: "Eunuch, the county magistrate was just curious for a while, please don't blame me. Since Your Majesty wants me to follow Eunuch to the capital immediately, then we don't waste time, let's set off now."

The eunuch nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

Li Shilang got up and followed the eunuch and left. The county magistrate stepped forward to stop Li Shilang, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, you can't go. Judging from the attitude of the father-in-law who passed the decree just now, I am afraid that your going will be more or less ominous. Why don't you listen to this book?" According to the county magistrate, find a chance to sneak away."

Li Shilang glanced at the county magistrate, took his hand away, shook his head and said: "If your majesty wants to harm me, why should I go to the capital and send someone to kill me here. If I guess correctly, your majesty will The summons must be to inquire about coastal defense. Although the Japanese were driven away by His Majesty in the Koryo area, they will not just show up in vain. One day they will make a comeback. Therefore, to guard against the future, we must build a strong navy. This is the only way , When the Japanese come again, we will have the ability to fight. And I am someone who is familiar with water warfare, Your Majesty should have known me from others, so he ordered me to go."

Listening to Li Shilang's analysis, the county magistrate fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said: "Since Mr. Li is so determined, I have nothing to say. Well, Mr. Li, be careful all the way. If you need my help, you can write to Hu to tell me."

Li Shilang nodded, and bowed his hands to the county magistrate: "Li Shilang is very grateful for the kindness of the county magistrate. If Li Shilang is really reused by His Majesty in the future, he will never forget the magistrate's great kindness."

After all, Li Shilang got into the carriage and followed the eunuch to Liangcheng.

Soon, Li Shilang arrived in Liangcheng.

The moment he entered Liangcheng, Li Shilang was in high spirits.He originally thought that he would be just a small official all his life, but he didn't expect to be able to enter the capital now, and judging by the situation, it seemed that what he had learned could be used.

Just as he was thinking, a general in armor walked towards him, cupped his hands and said, "Is this Li Shilang?"

Li Shilang glanced at the general, who was so powerful, he cupped his hands and said, "This is Li Shilang, I wonder who the general is?"

The general stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "This is Guan Sheng. Your Majesty ordered me to pick you up. Mr. Li, please follow me."

As he said that, Guan Sheng waved his hand, and a carriage came from a distance.

Li Shilang was also polite, and after bowing to Guan Sheng to thank him, he boarded the carriage.

The carriage headed south, passed through the bustling streets, and finally stopped in a tall mansion.

"Young Master Li, you can come down now."

Guan Sheng, who was guarding outside the carriage, bowed his hands towards the carriage and said.

Li Shilang got out of the carriage and looked at the big house in front of him, slightly surprised.

"General Guan, what did you bring Li here for?"

Guan Sheng smiled and said, "Young Master Li, please don't get me wrong. Your Majesty asked Guan to invite you here. Your Majesty is in the back garden of this house. Please follow me, Young Master Li, to meet His Majesty."

When Li Shilang heard that it was Wu Tian's arrangement, he smiled slightly: "It seems that His Majesty has something very important to discuss with Li."

Guan Sheng smiled without saying a word, and led the way ahead.

Li Shilang followed Guan Sheng into the mansion.

The construction of this mansion is very grand, with everything that one expects to find, and many precious flowers and plants are planted around it.

Li Shilang followed Guan Sheng through the long corridor, crossed the threshold, passed a path, and entered the back garden.

In the back garden, there are rockery and flowing water, and the air is filled with various fragrances of flowers.

There are five flights of steps in the distance.

Climbing up the steps is a large platform, and Wu Tian is sitting on a wooden chair arranged in the center of the platform, drinking tea leisurely.
