Water Margin: From the Start, I Storm the Imperial Palace to Become the Imperial Preceptor

In the first year of the Xuanhe era, seven years before the Jingkang Disaster.

Li Daoxian transmigrates into the Water Margin world, starting out as a martial arts grandmaster in the Indestructible Diamond Realm.

He vaults over walls and rooftops to storm the imperial palace, then beats the entire court into submission in the Golden Chariot Hall.

He sends Tong Guan flying with a sweep of his sleeve, crushes an army with a single glance, and knocks Lin Lingsu into submission with a flick to the forehead.

The emperor becomes a rubber stamp, Cai Jing obediently carries out orders, and Gao Qiu is hired full-time to play ball.

With a sweep of his spiritual power, he sees every corrupt official's hidden wealth. They meekly cough up their ill-gotten gains, instantly filling the treasury.

One look from the general's platform, and he cuts hundreds of thousands of redundant troops without hesitation, selecting tens of thousands of elite soldiers and training a hundred thousand Beiwei troops.

He doesn't need to investigate people: one glance tells him who's loyal, who's treacherous, and what they're capable of. He promotes Lin Chong, Zong Ze, and Yue Fei on the spot, bringing every renowned general under his command.

Allying with the Jin to destroy the Liao? A foolish idea.

The Jingkang Disaster? It won't happen.

He will train a new army and build firearms, first suppressing internal unrest, then reclaiming the Yan and Yun regions, nipping that terrible calamity in the bud.

Later, the Jin cavalry marches south and reaches the walls of Bianliang.

Li Daoxian stands on the city tower with his hands behind his back, gazes at the sea of Jin troops, and smiles.

Just in time. That saves me a trip.
