The Gubeikou is the main throat route from the Liaodong Plain and the Tatars to the Central Plains. It is less than 300 miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Its geographical location is extremely important. Once it is lost, the heart of the Ming Dynasty will be completely exposed to the enemy's troops.

When Altan sieges the city last year, the Tatars's Bodi Khan took the opportunity to break through Gubeikou and head south. A 130,000 army was at the Desheng Gate north of the capital. If it weren't for the internal struggle between Bodi Khan and Altan, the capital of the Ming Dynasty would have fallen and history would have been rewritten.

Speaking of which, after Altan failed to siege the city, Xu Jin and Wang Shouren agreed on a plan, and divided the troops into two groups to pursue the Tartars. Xu Jin pursued Altan westward, while Lao Wang pursued Bodi Khan northward.

Since Bodi Khan had already been hit by Zhao Quan's chronic poison at that time and his life was still alive, his troops were depressed and had no intention of fighting. He retreated from Gubeikou and fled back to Chahar. However, this made them escape. As the saying goes, it would rather provoke the King of Hell than touch the Old King. Wang Shouren has always used his troops to deceit. If the Tartars stopped to fight with him, the losses would probably be even heavier.

Let’s talk about Wang Shouren’s “driving” Khan from the Great Wall, he personally took charge of Gubeikou, gathered the previously broken border troops, and rebuilt the destroyed Gubeikou Pass. After that, Wang Shouren was appointed as the governor of Jizhou by Jiajing, responsible for rebuilding the defense line in Jizhou Town to prevent the Tartars from making a comeback. Therefore, 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, building walls. Since the death of Body Khan, his son Dalaison succeeded the Tatar Khan and immediately led the left-wing forces of the Tatar to war against the right-wing of the Tatar controlled by Altan. The Tatars themselves bit their dogs and had no time to look south. Lao Wang took the opportunity to build walls. In a year, not only was the destroyed Gubeikou Pass city rebuilt, but even the Great Wall that was more than 100 miles away was repaired and reinforced.

In addition, while Lao Wang was building the Great Wall openly, he secretly did something very "unethical", that is, Dalaisson, who secretly supported the Tatar left wing, sold some military supplies to Dalaisson from time to time through "smuggling".

Originally, Altan had many soldiers and generals, and the help of the leader of the Maitreya Sect, Li Fuda, and his talent and strategy were much stronger than Dalai Suan, a young man. However, Dalai Suan had secret support from the Ming Dynasty and fought with Altan this year.

There are often wind and sand in Gubeikou area, especially in winter and spring, where wind and sand are very frequent. At this time, standing on the head of Gubeikou Pass City, you can see everything you see in the darkness. In less than a moment, your clothes are covered with sand and dust.

At this moment, Wang Shouren stood on the top of Gubeikou Pass and looked into the north pole. Behind him were two young men dressed as scholars, one named Wang Ji and the other named Qian Kuan. They were both disciples of Wang Shouren.

Lao Wang is undoubtedly a super talented man. He has taken all the moral, meritorious and immortal immortals advocated by scholars. Lao Wang has been the only one who can achieve such achievements from ancient times to the present. Since he realized the truth in Longchang, Guizhou, Wang Shouren's mental studies have become very popular. Every time he goes, he will have disciples who will follow him, give him advice and go through fire and water for him. This is Lao Wang's charm.

Wang Shouren held the female wall at the top 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. When he let go, blood was spotted on the handkerchief.

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan looked at each other with concern, and the former said, "The wind and sand on the city are too strong, and my teacher is in bad health. Let's go down to the city. I will decoct the medicine for you."

Wang Shouren waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's an old problem for me to be a teacher. I've long been terminally ill. It's a miracle to be able to survive until now. It's already a profit to live in the past few years."

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan were both impressed when they heard this and hurriedly said, "Mr. Don't say that, your elder brother, you will live a hundred years old."

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Life and death are destined to be loyal, and my teacher has long been clear. This heart is bright, so why do you regret it... No, I still feel regretful to my teacher."

"What's the matter?" Wang Ji and Qian Kuan asked hurriedly.

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "I first met Xu Ziqian in Jiangxi. As my teacher, I felt that this son was extraordinary. In the future, I will be the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. Now it has come true.

Now the Japanese disasters along the coast of Ming Dynasty have been slapped by this son. He has opened a sea ban and maritime trade is in full swing. He has cleared the fields, hamlets, new crops, silver numbers, and downgrades the title... Tsk tsk, this son is like a famous doctor who has a wonderful rejuvenation. He prescribes the right medicine one by one to eliminate the serious illnesses of the Ming Dynasty.

Haha, the Tartars in the north are also constantly in civil war. My Ming Dynasty is no longer trapped by the "Southern Japanese and Northern Gang", and all internal and external troubles have been lifted. The national strength is growing. My teacher thinks that within ten years, my Ming Dynasty will be unprecedentedly powerful and will return to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, my teacher is afraid that he will not see this grand scene. This is the regret!"

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan looked at each other in shock. Did the mentor's evaluation of Xu Jin too high?

"My teacher, Xu Ziqian is indeed talented, but his personal morality is a disadvantage. You are too proud of him. When I heard that this son had an affair with the Japanese girl, and he was openly lying in the Sifang Pavilion of the Honglu Temple, it was really inappropriate." 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. At this time, Wang Shouren started coughing violently again, and the handkerchief was stained with spots of bright red again.

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

With the help of two disciples, Wang Shouren walked down the city and said, "Ruzhong (Wang Ji character), Hongfu (Qian Kuan), you have been with you for five years, and your mind has achieved great success. Now I will give you a word to you. Remember it, and the essence of mind is all in it."

Wang Ji and Qian Kuan were excited and quickly bowed their heads to listen. Wang Shouren coughed lightly and chanted slowly: "The body without good or evil, there is good or evil movement, knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good to eliminate evil is investigating things."

What Wang Shouren recited at this moment was the general outline of the four sentences of the study of the mind, which was also the essence of Yangming's study of the mind. This was a summary of the study of the mind he created in his later years.

"Do you remember?" Wang Shouren asked, stroking his beard.

"Students remember." Wang Ji and Qian Kuan were so excited that they had a treasure. They studied hard for many years, but at this moment they felt a sudden enlightenment.

...

A team of fast horses galloped in the wind and sand, and soon stopped at the gate of Gubeikou Pass City. The young general led by the leader was tall, dark-skinned, with a tiger's head and tiger's eyes. It was Xie Sanqian.

Xie Sanqian revealed his identity, and the city gate guards opened the door and let it go. Xie Sanqian led a group of personal soldiers to advance straight in, came to the Governor's Mansion and flew off the horse, and shouted to the guards in front of the gate: "General Xie Sanqian came to report and quickly inform the Governor."

Soon, Xie Sanqiang was taken in. The boy took two steps at a time, kneeling in front of Wang Shouren like pushing a mountain of gold and turning the jade pillar, and shouted: "Disciple, please pay me a favor to my teacher!"

After Xie Sanqian finished speaking, he kowtowed Wang Shouren three times. Old Wang smiled and said, "Get up!"

Xie Sanqin was Wang Shouren's closed disciple, and the only disciple who only learned military tactics from him but not the mind. Xie Sanqin's performance of following Xu Jin to sea to calm the rebellion this time is also a circle, so Lao Wang can be said to be very comforted by Lao Huai.

Xie Sanliang stood up, solemnly took out a bright yellow scroll and said, "This is the will of the emperor to his mentor!"

Wang Shouren looked calm, and quickly stood up and lifted the hem of his official robe and knelt down, and then solemnly took the imperial edict from Xie Sanqiang.

"My teacher, please get up quickly." Xie Sanliang handed over the imperial edict and immediately helped Wang Shouren up. The latter continued to stand and slowly open the imperial edict to read it to show respect for the emperor.

After reading the imperial edict, Wang Shouren couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Jiajing's imperial edict said it was not so much a commendation to Wang Shouren, but rather a transfer order. Yes, Lao Wang is going to be transferred.

It turned out that there was a rebellion in the Sien area in Tianzhou, Guangxi recently. Many prefectures and counties were captured and officials were killed. The situation was chaotic and severe. The local government could not settle it, so it could only report to the capital one by one.

During the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong and Guangxi were still very backward, with heavy mountains and rivers, blocked traffic, swamps and miasma everywhere, and wild animals were rampant. The people here were not educated and were called the Southern Barbarians, especially the minority ethnic groups in the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and other areas. The people were strong in the state of self-government of local officials and were very xenophobic. If there were any problems, they would solve them internally. The local officials stationed by the court were decorations.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and rivers are unreasonable. Although it is unpleasant to say it, it is true. Fights often occur in these places. Fighting between tribes is common, and killing officials and rebelling is common. In many cases, as long as the trouble is not excessive, local governments can suppress it.

But this time the trouble was quite serious. Several prefectures and counties fell, and even officials at the county magistrate level were killed. There were as many as tens of thousands of rebels. The local government had no choice but to report to the central government for help.

Although there were only tens of thousands of people rebelled, due to the harsh environment in the local area and the mountains were high and dense forests, it was extremely difficult for the court to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Most of these rebels were local mountain people. If they could beat them, they would fight, and if they could not beat them, they would hide. Tens of thousands of people drilled into the mountains and disappeared immediately, ensuring that the imperial army could not even get a Mao.

After the news was reported to the court, many people recommended Wang Shouren to lead troops to Guangxi to suppress the rebellion, because looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, the old Wang was the one who was best at mountain warfare. The bandits who had been harmed by Nangan for decades were wiped out by Wang Shouren, and he was experienced in dealing with bandits.

In addition, Wang Shouren is very famous in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and is familiar with the local customs and culture, so he is the only candidate to quell the rebellion.
