Gubeikou is the throat of the Liaodong Plain and Tatar to the Central Plains, less than 300 miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the geographical location is extremely important, once lost, the heart of the Ming Dynasty will be completely exposed to the enemy's soldiers.

Last year, when Altan besieged the city, the Tatar Bodi Khan took the opportunity to break through the Gubei Pass and go south, and the 130,000 troops came to the north of the capital under the Desheng Gate, if it were not for the internal fighting between the Bodi Khan and Alta, it is estimated that the capital of the Ming Dynasty has fallen, and history will be rewritten.

It is said that after the failure of the siege of Altan and the withdrawal of the army, Xu Jin and Wang Shouren agreed on a strategy, and the troops pursued the Tartars in two ways, Xu Jin pursued Alta to the west, while Lao Wang pursued Bodi Khan to the north.

Because Bodi Khan had been poisoned by Zhao Quan's chronic poison at that time, his troops were demoralized and had no intention of fighting, so they withdrew from Gubeikou all the way and fled back to Chahar. However, in this way, they escaped a catastrophe, as the so-called Ning provoked the king of Hades, do not touch the old king, Wang Shouren has always used soldiers to deceive, if the Tartar stopped to fight him, it is estimated that the loss will be even more heavy.

And said that after Wang Shouren "drove" Bodi Khan outside the Great Wall, he personally sat in Gubeikou, collected the border soldiers who had been scattered before, and rebuilt the destroyed Gubeikou Pass, after that, Wang Shouren was appointed by Jiajing as the governor of Jizhou, responsible for reconstructing the defense line around Jizhou Town, in order to prevent the Tartars from coming back, so from the end of last year to the present, Lao Wang has been staying in Gubeikou.

Lao Wang did one thing in Gubeikou this year, that is, to build a wall, because since the death of Bodi Khan, his son Da Lai Xun succeeded as Tatar Khan, and then led the Tatar left-wing forces to fight against the Tatar right wing controlled by Alta, the Tatars themselves dog-eat-dog, there was no time to look south, Lao Wang took the opportunity to build a wall, a year, not only the destroyed Gubeikou Pass was rebuilt, even the Great Wall of more than 100 miles nearby was repaired and reinforced.

In addition, in addition to repairing the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, Lao Wang also secretly did something very "lacking in morality", that is, secretly supporting the Tatar left-wing Da Lai Xun, and from time to time sold some military supplies to Da Lai Sun through "smuggling".

Originally, I had a large number of soldiers under my command, and there was the help of Li Fuda, the head of the Maitreya sect, coupled with his own eloquence, which was much stronger than the immature boy Da Tai Xun, but Da Tai Xun had the secret support of the Ming Dynasty, and he was on an equal footing with me this year.

There are often wind and sand in the area of Gubeikou, especially in winter and spring, the wind and sand are particularly frequent, standing on the head of the city of Gubeikou Pass at this time, it is a dusk as far as the eye can see, and within a moment, the clothes are full of sand and dust.

At this moment, Wang Shouren stood on the head of the Gubeikou Pass City and looked into the North Pole, in addition to the guards, there were two young men dressed as scholars, one was named Wang Ji and the other was Qian Kuan, they were Wang Shouren's protégés.

Lao Wang is undoubtedly a super bull man, and he has all the three immortals of virtue, meritorious service, and speech advocated by scholars. Since the enlightenment in Guizhou Longchang, Wang Shouren's mind has been very popular, every place he goes, there will be protégés to accompany him, give him advice, for him to go to the soup, this is the charm of Lao Wang.

Wang Shouren held the female wall at the head of the city with both hands, looked into the distance for a while, and suddenly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed violently, and when he let go, blood stains could be seen on the handkerchief.

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan glanced at each other worriedly, and the former said: "The wind and sand in the city are too big, and the teacher is in poor health, so let's go down to the city, and the disciple will decoct the medicine for you." ”

Wang Shouren waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's an old problem for a teacher, I've long been terminally ill, and it is not a medicine stone to treat, it is a miracle to be able to live until now, and I have earned it by living more than a few years." ”

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan were both hearty when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, don't say that, your old man will live a hundred years." ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "Life and death are fate, the teacher has already seen it, this heart is bright, what regrets do you have to ...... No, there is still one thing to regret for the teacher. ”

"What?" Wang Ji and Qian Kuan hurriedly asked.

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "When I first saw Xu Ziqian in Jiangxi, I felt that this son was extraordinary as a teacher, and he would be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty one day, and now it is really fulfilled."

Now my Ming coastal plague has been wiped out by this son, he opened the sea ban, maritime trade is in full swing, he clears the grange, the land, the new crop, the silver number, the title of the demote system...... Tsk, this son is like a famous doctor who rejuvenates with a wonderful hand, prescribing the right medicine dose by dose, and removing my Ming's depression one by one.

Oh, now the Tartars in the north are also in the civil war, my Ming Dynasty is no longer trapped by the "Southern and Northern Captives", internal and external troubles have been lifted, the national strength is thriving, and the teacher thinks that in less than ten years, my Ming Dynasty will be unprecedentedly powerful and reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity, I'm afraid I can't see this grand scene as a teacher, and it's a pity that this is also! ”

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan glanced at each other in shock, the teacher's evaluation of Xu Jin was too high, right?

"Teacher, Xu Ziqian is admittedly talented, but his personal virtue is at a loss, your old man is inevitably too exalting him, the disciple heard that this son had an affair with a widow, and he openly struggled in the Quartet Hall of Honglu Temple, which is really unseemly." Wang Ji said in a low voice.

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "This is exactly what makes this son smart. ”

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan were stunned for a moment, and both showed deep thoughts, but then Wang Shouren coughed violently again, and the handkerchief was stained with a speckled red again.

"Teacher, let's go down to the city first!" Wang Ji hurriedly said.

Wang Shouren went down the city with the support of two protégés, and said: "Ruzhong (Wang Jizi), Hongfu (Qian Kuanzi), you have been a teacher for five years, and your heart has been perfected. ”

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan perked up and hurriedly bowed their heads to listen. Wang Shouren coughed lightly and groaned slowly: "There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing." ”

What Wang Shouren is chanting at this moment is the four general outlines of Xinxue, which is also the essence of Yangming's Xinxue, which is a summary of the Xinxue he founded in his later years.

"Do you remember?" Wang Shouren stroked his beard and asked.

"The students remembered." Wang Ji and Qian Kuan were so excited that they had been studying the mind for many years, and they had a sense of enlightenment at this moment.

……

A team of fast horses galloped in the wind and sand, and soon stopped at the gate of Gubeikou Guancheng, led by the young general who was tall, dark-skinned, and tiger-eyed, and it was Xie Sangun.

Xie Sangun revealed his identity, and the city gate guards immediately opened the door to let him go, Xie Sangun led a group of personal soldiers to drive straight forward, came to the governor's palace and flew off his horse, and said loudly to the guards in front of the door: "General Xie Sangun came to report and quickly reported to the governor." ”

Soon, Xie Sangun was brought in, and this kid took three steps and made two steps, knelt down in front of Wang Shouren like pushing a golden mountain and a jade pillar, and said loudly: "Disciple to the teacher, please be safe!" ”

After Xie Sangun finished speaking, he kowtowed to Wang Shouren three times, and Lao Wang smiled and said, "Get up!" ”

Xie Sangun is Wang Shouren's closed disciple, and he is also the only disciple who only learns the art of war with him, but does not learn the study of the heart, and Xie Sangun's performance in following Xu Jin to the sea to quell the rebellion this time is also remarkable, so Lao Wang can be said to be a great relief.

Xie Sangun stood up, solemnly took out a bright yellow scroll and said, "This is the emperor's will to his teacher!" ”

Wang Shouren's expression was pale, and he quickly stood up and knelt down with the hem of his official robe, and then solemnly took the holy decree from Xie Sangun.

"Teacher, please get up quickly." Xie Sangun handed over the holy decree and immediately helped Wang Shouren up, who continued to stand and slowly open and read the holy decree to show respect for the Son of Heaven.

Wang Shouren couldn't help but fall into deep thought after reading the holy decree, Jiajing's holy decree said that it was not so much a reward for Wang Shouren, but rather an order, that's right, Lao Wang was going to be transferred.

It turned out that there had been a rebellion in Tianzhou and Sien areas of Guangxi Province recently, many prefectures and counties were occupied, officials were killed, and the situation was chaotic and severe.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Liangguang region was still very backward, with heavy mountains and rivers, blocked traffic, swamps and miasma everywhere, and wild beasts were rampant. The people here are not educated, they are called the southern barbarians, especially the minority ethnic groups in the border between Guangzhou, Yunnan and Guizhou, etc., the people are fierce, basically in the state of local official autonomy, very xenophobic, there are problems are solved internally, and the local officials stationed by the imperial court are ornaments.

As the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, although they do not listen to the words, but it is also true, these places often have armed fights, fighting between tribes is common, killing officials and rebelling is also commonplace, many times, as long as the trouble is not excessive, the local government can be suppressed.

However, this time the disturbance was quite serious, several prefectures and counties fell, and even officials at the county level were killed, and the rebels numbered as many as tens of thousands, and the local government had no choice but to report to the central government for help.

Don't look at just tens of thousands of people rebelling, but due to the harsh local environment, high mountains and dense forests, it is extremely difficult for the imperial court to send troops to encircle and suppress, and most of these rebels are local mountain people, if they can beat them, they will fight, and if they can't be beaten, they will hide.

After the news was reported to the imperial court, many people recommended Wang Shouren to lead the troops to Guangxi to quell the rebellion, because throughout the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the best at mountain warfare was none other than Lao Wang, who had harmed the bandits of Southern Jiangxi for decades was exterminated by Wang Shouren, and he was experienced in dealing with bandits.

In addition, Wang Shouren is very well-known in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and is familiar with the local customs and customs, so he is really the best candidate for counterinsurgency.

As a result, Tingtui unanimously approved the appointment of Wang Shouren as the imperial official of the left capital of the Imperial Court, as the governor of Liangguang, and led the army to Guangxi to suppress the rebellion.
