Qi Ning reassured him: “Re-reporting old things makes General Shen sad. It’s Ben Hou’s fault, isn’t it?”

“Your Majesty’s words are serious.” Shen Liangqiu hurriedly said: “Second Young Master passed away due to illness in those years, and the humble general was powerless. When traveling, he could only go to various temples to transcribe as many as possible for the Second Young Master to save him.” He smiled bitterly: “This time the Great Governor passed away. , the humble general is still not well protected, in my heart!” He shook his head and sighed.

Qi Ning patted Shen Liangqiu’s arm lightly and said, “Three years of travel, General Shen must have a lot of experience and must have made a lot of friends?”

“I’ve met a lot of people, but there are very few people with similar temperaments.” Shen Liangqiu looked at the vast sea: “It is often said that it is enough to have a confidant in life, but how difficult is it to find this confidant?”

“It’s enough to have a confidant in life!” Qi Ning thoughtfully, nodded slightly and said, “General Shen’s words are right.” Then he smiled and said, “Fortunately, the second son of Tantai and the governor all regarded you as their own. As a confidant, General Shen is also lucky.”

Shen Liangqiu’s lips moved slightly, but he stopped talking, but he didn’t speak.

“General Shen, the chief governor passed away, and the most important thing for the East Sea Navy is to have a new chief governor of the Navy.” Qi Ning suddenly said: “In your opinion, who can take on this position?”

Shen Liangqiu frowned slightly, shook his head and said, “Master Hou, who is in command of the East Sea Division, this is an decree from the court, and the humble general really dare not speculate!”

“There is no one else here, and this is the first one who mentioned it, so you don’t have to be afraid.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Neither you or I can decide who will serve as the naval governor, even if you have nothing to do and chat for a while. It won’t hurt the overall situation.”

Shen Liangqiu hesitated for a moment, then said: “How many years did it take for the two generations of Marquis, the old marquis and the governor to train the Donghai Marine Division into an army that is comparable to the Dongqi Marine Division. Chu has not yet ruled the world, and in the future, whether it is to conquer the Northern Han or the Eastern Qi, the Donghai Navy will definitely be a great help, so the humble general feels that the court must think twice about appointing a new commander-in-chief.”

“General Shen is trying to say that if the imperial court sends a layman who doesn’t understand naval and military affairs, and gives random command, he might ruin the years of hard work of the old marquis and the great governor. Is that what he means?” Qi Ning asked with a smile on his lips. road.

Shen Liangqiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “I dare not!”

“Don’t think too much about it.” Qi Ning said lightly, “Actually, this is what Ben Hou also meant. From the time when the old marquis founded the East Sea Division, the imperial court has invested a lot of financial and material resources, and the old marquis and the governor have also put all their energy into it. , Including you General Shen, countless navy officers and soldiers have sacrificed their blood and sweat for the strength of our Great Chu navy army, if you really send a mediocre and incompetent person here, this marquis will definitely write to the court.”

Shen Liangqiu’s expression was slightly relaxed, with a feeling of relief, and said solemnly: “Master Hou is wise!”

“Then tell me, who under my eyes is worthy of this position?” Qi Ning asked Shen Liangqiu, staring at him.

Shen Liangqiu thought about it for a while, and then said: “Master Marquis, if you want to be the commander of the navy army, you must have at least three conditions. First of all, you must understand the military affairs of the navy army. It is best to come out of the navy division. The navy army and the army on land are completely complete. Different, if General Shu Bei said something disrespectful, even if General Yue of the Qinhuai Army is dispatched, it may not be appropriate.”

“That’s a good point.” Qi Ning said, “If you want to lead the navy, you naturally need an expert. Sending a layman over will only be counterproductive.”

“Secondly, we must be literate and tactical.” Shen Liangqiu said: “The old marquis and the great governor are both famous generals of literacy and martial arts, and they are deeply respected by the soldiers of the navy. Disappointed in the heart, it is difficult to have a heart of awe.”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “That is to say, you have to have the ability. The soldiers of the East Sea Division are all under the command of the old marquis and the Grand Governor, and whoever is sent will use him to compare the previous two Grand Governors. If the gap is too large Big,

It will inevitably make the military unconvinced.

“And asked:” What is the last condition?

”

“Naturally, it is necessary to be loyal to the imperial court.” Shen Liangqiu said solemnly.

“Navy’s ability, prestige, and loyalty!” Qi Ning nodded and said, “With these three points, you can indeed take on great responsibilities. (Update soon)” Then he frowned and said, “When it comes to prestige and loyalty, there are many generals in the DPRK and China. But to say how many people can understand the naval and military affairs, it is very few, the generals in the DPRK and China who occupy all three, I think about it, but I can’t think of one person.” Sighed, said: “Old man Marquis is very old, otherwise!” He didn’t say anything.

Shen Liangqiu said: “It is because the court has not issued an decree for a long time, perhaps it is difficult to choose a new naval commander.”

Qi Ning was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: “Actually, this Marquis thought of a candidate, the most suitable one.”

“I will ask you for advice!” Shen Liangqiu cupped his hands.

Qi Ning put one hand behind his back and said, “This person is from the East China Sea Navy. He is extremely familiar with naval affairs, has outstanding talents, and has enough prestige among the East China Sea Navy. The most important thing is to be loyal to the imperial court. General Shen This person has all the three points mentioned, and it can be said that he is the most suitable candidate.”

“What did Lord Hou say?”

“It’s far away from the horizon and in front of you.” Qi Ning raised his finger and pointed at Shen Liangqiu’s chest, and laughed, “General Shen, besides you, can there be another person?”

Shen Liangqiu was taken aback, but immediately bowed and said, “Master Hou, the humble general is frightened, this!”

“General Shen, this marquis is not talking to you politely.” Qi Ning said solemnly: “You have been following the commander-in-chief to govern the navy, and now you are the only one who is the only one who is going from top to bottom with regard to the situation of the navy. The most familiar one. When you take over the position of the Grand Governor, the East Sea Division will be able to transition smoothly without any turbulence. This is the best result for both the East Sea Division and the imperial court.”

Shen Liangqiu frowned slightly, his lips moved slightly, and Qi Ning continued: “After my father passed away, the court ordered that General Yue Huanshan, the deputy general beside my father, should take over as the general of the Qinhuai Army. The waves are calm, and General Yue can also take on the heavy burden left by his father in the shortest time possible. Now the situation of the East Sea Marine Division is almost the same as that of the Qinhuai Army Corps.

Shen Liangqiu finally said: “Master Hou, although I have the intention to relieve the court’s worries, I am afraid that I am not capable enough, but I have missed the important affairs of the court.”

“It’s easy to say if you can shoulder the heavy responsibilities.” Qi Ning said with a smile, “Although this marquis may not be able to influence the court’s decision, if you successfully catch the black tiger shark this time, this marquis will reward you for your credit. , you can recommend you to the emperor as the governor of the East China Sea, what do you think?”

Shen Liangqiu immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, “The humble general thanked the Hou Ye for his kindness, great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it!”

Qi Ning raised his hand and shook his head: “General Shen doesn’t need to thank me, this Marquis is also doing good for the country.” After a pause, he chuckled: “But all of this will have to wait until after this operation, and only catch the Living in the black tiger shark, General Shen has made a great contribution, and this marquis can recommend it to the court, otherwise!”

Shen Liangqiu said: “Baijian understands that if the information is correct this time, Beijiang will definitely be able to capture the black tiger shark and bring it to justice!”

Qi Ning laughed, and then turned around, with both hands on the bow railing, facing the sea, the ship was still heading towards the rising sun.

“The surface of the sea is calm, but there are undercurrents under the sea.” Qi Ning looked at the sea, thinking of something, and asked: “By the way, General Shen, there is one thing that I have always wondered about. I wonder if you can help me. I’m confused?”

“Master Hou, please speak!”

“In the legend, there are four sacred beasts of Xuanwu, the green dragon, the white tiger, the scarlet bird.” Qi Ning looked at Shen Liangqiu: “And the sacred beast of Xuanwu is hidden in the sea. I heard that the sacred beast of Xuanwu has a Xuanwu pill in its mouth, which can restore the soul of the dead and change his life against the sky. Is this true?”

“The dead come back to life and change their lives against the sky?” Shen Liangqiu was stunned, and then smiled: “The Xuanwu divine beast mentioned by Hou Ye, even a humble general has really heard of it.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning was very interested: “Is there really such a thing?”

Shen Liangqiu shook his head and said, “The humble general has heard of the Xuanwu holy beast, but the Xuanwu Pill can change his life against the sky, and the humble general has never heard of it.” After a pause, he said, “In the mouths of the fishermen of the East China Sea, there really is one. The ancient legends are about Xuanwu divine beasts.”

Qi Ning turned his back to the railing and said, “Come on, come on, tell me, what kind of legend?”

Shen Liangqiu said: “As the Hou Ye said, it is rumored that there are four divine beasts between heaven and earth, the green dragon, white tiger, red bird, Xuanwu. The world thinks this is just a myth, and no one has ever seen the four divine beasts, but there are rumors that although the four Not all big mythical beasts can be seen, but some people have really seen the white tiger mythical beast and the basalt mythical beast. The white tiger mythical beast is hidden in the mountains of the southern border, and some hunters in the southern border revealed that they have seen the white tiger mythical beast in the mountains. .UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com”

Qi Ning said “Oh”, Shen Liangqiu continued: “And the basalt beast is hidden in the seabed of the East China Sea. According to the legends handed down, the basalt beast was created by heaven and earth. As long as you can eat a piece of basalt meat, you can prolong your life.”

Qi Ning wondered if the Xuanwu divine beast was the incarnation of Tang Seng, but did not interrupt, only listening to Shen Liangqiu continue: “But if you want to see the Xuanwu divine beast, you have to have a good relationship accumulated over several lifetimes, which is absolutely impossible for ordinary people. I see. And there are rumors that the basalt divine beast will climb an island reef in the East China Sea every 30 years, saying that it is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island reef!” He shook his head and sighed: “This is just a folklore. , can’t be true.”

“Every 30 years, you will climb an island reef?” Qi Ning was surprised: “Why is this?”

“There is no explanation in the legend, and there are different opinions on which island reef the basalt divine beast will climb on, and there is no set number. There are hundreds of islands and reefs in the East China Sea, and no one has been able to tell the basalt divine beast. Which island and reef will I climb on?” Shen Liangqiu smiled lightly: “There are fewer people talking about these legends now, and they all know that they are just stories compiled by the ancients.”

Qi Ning pondered for a while before laughing: “Migrating birds move south, that’s a rule, maybe it’s just a rule that basaltic beasts come ashore every 30 years!”
