Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 165 Foreign devils!
"What's the matter with you? Can't you wait for me to go back for such a small matter? Is it necessary to enter the palace once to disturb the emperor?"

Xuanwu's face turned red and white after being scolded by his elder brother. He didn't know that Qinglong seemed to be scolding him, but he was trying to excuse Xuanwu in his heart. He said this because he hoped that Li Chengdao would not blame Xuanwu for this matter.

Who knew that Li Chengdao was beaming at this moment, and he stepped forward to stop Qinglong and said: "Commander Qinglong's words are wrong, Xuanwu is not only innocent, but also meritorious! Xuanwu, I will write down the credit for you first, and I will treat you well after you go back." Those foreigners, bring them to the palace tomorrow!"

"Foreigners? Your Majesty's people have golden hair, green eyes, and they talk in a gibbering manner. They are not human beings. They are clearly a group of ghosts. In my opinion, they should not be called foreigners. If you want to call them, they should be called foreign devils!"

Li Chengdao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect this foreign devil to be called like this!Smiling slightly, he said: "No need to say much, Xuan Wu, you just remember to take good care of them, wait until tomorrow, I will know for myself!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Mr. Kong Ming, Commander of Qinglong, you should go back first. Tomorrow, Mr. Kong Ming will summon General Gan Ning to the palace on my behalf. Let's meet those foreigners together!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was bright. Li Chengdao took Kong Ming and Gan Ning with him with great interest, and followed Xuanwu to see the foreigners.

Everyone came to Jinyiwei Town Fusi, where Qinglong and others were already waiting. Under the leadership of Xuanwu, they went to a separate courtyard in the backyard.The entrance to the courtyard is guarded by guards in royal robes.

Xuanwu stepped forward and waved lightly, and the two Jinyi guards retreated respectfully. Then Xuanwu pushed open the door, and saw a group of foreigners kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped in front of their chests, chanting words.

Kong Ming and Gan Ning had never seen foreigners before, and they felt strange when they saw them today. Only Li Chengdao was no stranger to these people. Over there, Xuanwu stepped forward and was about to mention these foreign devils and come to salute the emperor, but was pulled away by Li Chengdao. Living.

"Don't disturb them. What they are doing now is called worship. Generally speaking, it is like our monks doing morning classes. When they are so devout, don't interrupt them!"

Xuan Wu nodded when he heard the words, and everyone waited at the side. After a while, these foreigners stood up one after another, and looked curiously at the young man in Chinese clothes in front of him.

An older foreigner stood up and babbled a lot. Everyone present didn't understand what it meant, but they saw that Li Chengdao not only listened with great interest, but also spoke the language of these foreigners.

Everyone was very surprised, and the old foreigner was also very surprised. The two talked for a while in a language that others could not understand. Afterwards, the old foreigner turned around excitedly, as if he was promoting something to the remaining foreigners.

Li Chengdao also turned around and said to the crowd: "These people are missionaries, from France... well, that is, Spain and Portugal. They went out to sea this time to promote Christianity. Unexpectedly, the ship encountered a storm at sea. All the people in the boat were scattered, only a few of them leaned on the mast and were saved."

"Oh!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and Kong Ming admired him even more, and said: "Your Majesty is so wise, I never thought that His Majesty would know the affairs of the world without leaving home, and he is also proficient in the language of the other country. I admire you!"

Li Chengdao smiled and thought to himself, if he had been more serious when he was in school in his previous life, he could communicate with them more.

It turned out that these missionaries came to the East to preach on the orders of the Holy See. The old man who was the leader was called Sha Sige. He and these missionaries came to the mysterious East in a group under the orders of the Franz Church. At first, they went to India, but The promotion of the teachings was not ideal, and several missionaries were even beaten to death by the local natives because of their different teachings.

Facing this barren and uncivilized land, there were differences in the missionary group. Some people advocated staying and letting the gospel of God help the people here to achieve civilization and progress, while others advocated leaving to find a more powerful country. And civilized country!
Sha Sige was a firm advocate of leaving India, so they left India and came to Datang by sea. Who knew that the weather in Datang did not seem to welcome them. After entering the border of Guangdong and Guangxi, they encountered a big storm. Not far away, they were lucky enough to be rescued by Datang's Jin Yiwei.

Later, Li Chengdao said to Qinglong and Gan Ning: "Among these missionaries are doctors, shipwrights, and some scientists. Qinglong, you must send someone to protect and take good care of them. I promise them to help them build a Church, in exchange for their knowledge and skills!”

"General Gan Ning, you are fully responsible for the affairs of the shipyard. On the basis of the old Fujian shipyard, Sha Sige will send a few skilled shipwrights. You take them away. Remember, shipbuilding and artillery technology, regardless of No matter what method you use, you will squeeze me dry!"

"The end will follow the order!"

After Li Chengdao finished his instructions, he was about to leave, but he saw Gan Ning winking at him. He felt strange, so he asked Qinglong and others to leave first, leaving only Suzaku beside him. He found a secluded place and asked Gan Ning what was wrong.

Gan Ning's face showed embarrassment, Li Chengdao saw this, and guessed: "What's the matter, General Gan Ning, is there something wrong with the shipyard, or is there not enough money?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that's not the case!" Li Chengdao was relieved when he heard the words, and then asked: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, you ordered the general to form the Shenji Battalion, and gave the general the right to choose people in the army at will. Now that the Shenji Battalion has been established, the general has been busy with the research and development of firearms, and he is a little lacking in battalion management. Soldiers are easy to pick, but generals are hard to find. Finally, I want to ask the emperor for an order to find a suitable candidate to be the general of my Shenji Battalion!"

"This..." Li Chengdao also felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. The martial arts examination has not yet ended. There are many generals in the army, but none of these generals are the general's favorites. If the order is given, they will definitely let it go, but Li Chengdao's imperial conquest is imminent. At this time, he doesn't want to make too many adjustments in the army.

Seeing Li Chengdao in trouble, Gan Ning thought in his heart whether it was because he hastily asked someone to embarrass him. Thinking of this, Gan Ning hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the thing is like this. The Shenji Battalion has been established for some time. However, the last general has been busy with other affairs, and the internal management of the Shenji Battalion has been entrusted to the original general, who knew that the general was greedy for the army's salary, and was discovered by the last general, and he is still under the law."

"Therefore, there is a lack of a general in the battalion of the last general. I wanted to promote him on the spot, but most of the current deputy generals are from the old army of the former general. The last general has doubts in his heart, so he has not selected a new one for a long time. General.

Hearing this, Li Chengdao nodded and said, "So you hope to find an outsider to stir up this muddy water so that more big fish can emerge?"

Gan Ning nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you show your head or not. I just hope that I can have a trustworthy person to help me manage it well! Share my worries!"
