"Confucius said: 'In ancient times, people suffered from three diseases, but now they may also die. In ancient times, the madness was rampant, and today's madness is also unbridled...'"
Inside the Song clan school, Liu Yaozu was shaking his head while reading.
The children of the Song family here have already changed. After Song Kui and others finished studying the "Little Four Books", they announced one by one that they had completed their studies and returned home. They didn't even bother to take the county examination. It didn't matter anyway, as long as they could understand the official documents of the imperial court.
Not considered illiterate.
Fang Zheng and others who crossed Qingzhai also ran away, leaving only Wang Yuan and Liu Yaozu.
Among them, Yuan Zhi and Yuan Da both became Song Gongzi's followers, and Song Jian agreed to recommend them to take the martial arts examination. However, in the early years of Zhengde, the martial arts examination was not standardized and was occasionally held. There has been no such examination in Guizhou for several years.
Conduct martial arts selections.
"Wang Yuan, something big happened!"
Song Ling'er rushed into the classroom quickly, shouting that it was a big deal, but with a look of gloating on her face.
Wang Yuan practiced calligraphy seriously, without raising his head, and asked: "What's the big deal?"
Song Ling'er said: "The Miao people in Anning Xuanfu Division rebelled and have captured Qingping County!"
"Then why are you happy?" Wang Yuan asked puzzledly.
Song Ling'er explained: "The imperial court appointed a temporary governor to Guizhou, his name seems to be Wei Ying. Wei Ying and Guizhou's commander-in-chief Li Ang ordered the An family to immediately send troops to quell the rebellion. This time the An family in Shuixi will definitely shed some blood! Now in Guizhou city
The war was in chaos, and many Yi chieftain soldiers entered the city in violation of the rules, making the two chief ministers jump with anger."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that your father is not a fool either."
"Of course my father is not stupid, he is sane." Song Ling'er said proudly.
Didn't we say earlier that the An and Song families joined forces to force the governor away, and the An family teamed up with civil servants to attack the Song family?
Song Ran was tricked by An Guirong, and he actually made peace with the military attache without saying a word.
The Li family is a hereditary military general in Guizhou, and the lowest position is to command the military affairs of the capital. The descendants of the past generations often served as commanders of the capital or co-presidents. In Li Ang's generation, he has served as the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou army for two consecutive generations, and there has always been friction with the An family, who has a strong army.
An Guirong was unlucky. He had just forced out a governor last year and asked the court to revoke his position. Now he encountered a rebellion by the Miao people. The court arranged for a temporary governor to come over and colluded with Li Ang to force him to transfer to the An family.
Send troops to quell the rebellion.
There was a rebellion in the Anning Xuanfu Division. Is it related to the Shuixian clan?
It was a branch of the Yang family in Bozhou that forced the Miao people to rebel. During the Chenghua period, the Miao people in Anning rebelled. The imperial court transferred the Yang family from Sichuan to Guizhou to quell the rebellion. After that, the Yang family's legitimate son stayed here as chieftain. In the middle
There was also an internal fight in which the concubine murdered his legitimate son. The concubine was convicted and moved elsewhere. Another Yang family member served as a co-president, forcing the local Miao people to rebel.
The rebellion directly involved the Yang family; the place of rebellion was close to the Song family's territory.
Even if they want to put down the rebellion, the Yang or Song clan should send troops. There is no reason to bother the Shuixi'an clan!
An Guirong was almost disgusted to death by Song Ran, Li Ang, and Wei Ying.
Wang Yuan was dragged back to the city by Song Ling'er, and he saw that the chieftain soldiers were running rampant in the city. Two chief envoys and inspectors were negotiating with the local soldiers with their official envoys, telling them to get out of the city immediately and not stay in the city to misbehave.
Soon, Wei Ying, the governor of Guizhou, and Li Ang, the commander-in-chief of Guizhou, entered the city from the south gate with the sergeants of the guard station.
Wei Ying, a veteran of three dynasties, was galloping on horseback, waving his whip and shouting: "Anyone who takes the opportunity to cause trouble will be killed on the spot without mercy!"
"No," Li Ang quickly stopped him, "The chieftain's army is so powerful that we should not force the An family to rebel. Let's go to An Guirong to argue with him first."
Seeing the chieftain plundering his troops, Wei Ying was trembling with anger and asked Li Ang: "The imperial court has stationed 20,000 troops in Guizhou City. You only brought a few hundred servants here, and you ate the other soldiers?"
There are still 20,000 soldiers, but it would be great to have 2,000 who can fight.
Li Ang could only say: "Wei's top priority in establishing the platform is to ask An Guirong to transfer the local soldiers out of the city. The matter of guarding the post can be discussed later."
"snort!"
Wei Ying did not give the other party a good look. He was a veteran of three dynasties and had served as chief envoy twice. Now he was in charge of Guizhou in times of crisis. He was temporarily in charge of the military and political power. All Guizhou officials must listen to his orders.
The two led their troops straight to the residence of the envoy Xuanwei Zuo in Guizhou, but they did not see An Guirong at all.
An Guirong knew how to give up when he was satisfied. After expressing his dissatisfaction, he went to the street to gather the local soldiers in person. He then led the local soldiers out of the south gate and went straight to Duyun Prefecture to quell the rebellion. He did not bother to talk to the governor of Guizhou and Guizhou.
The general said hello.
The streets were in a mess, and many shops had been robbed by soldiers.
"Chieftain An is extremely arrogant, I must join him!" Wei Ying turned blue with anger. He had never been so useless when he was the chief envoy in Yunnan.
Li Ang took the opportunity to fan the flames: "As the chief seal officer of the Guizhou Propaganda and Comfort Envoy, An Guirong is not allowed to return to Shuixi for non-official business. But this person used the excuse of supervising the tribute payment and spent at least eight months of the year in Shuixi. He also
He claimed that he commanded forty-eight tribes and had an army of 480,000, so that he could be invincible and rampage across Guizhou."
With such a reminder, Wei Ying calmed down. He knew that he couldn't force it, and it would be difficult to end up forcing An's back.
Not to mention An Guirong's army to plunder Guizhou City, even if it burned half of Guizhou City, the court would only reprimand him a few times. Because the rebellion in An Ning has been going on for more than a year, the garrison around Duyun Prefecture cannot bear it.
It can't be stopped, but An Guirong can handle it in the past two months with his troops.
With such a powerful military and great achievements in suppressing the rebellion, how do you want the court to deal with An Guirong?
Wang Yuan rode through the streets, feeling extremely angry.
There was a restaurant where Song Ling'er often took him to eat, and he was already familiar with everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiter. Even Wang Yuan was joking with the waiter yesterday, but now there is only a cold corpse left.
The store clerk died tragically in the lobby. He was stabbed several times on the back and neck. He was apparently killed by soldiers while escaping.
The tables and stools were overturned on the floor, and the shopkeeper was sitting next to the corpse of the store clerk, with his eyes blankly staring blankly. I don't know if he was frightened or stunned by the loss of property. He didn't cry, laugh, or make any noise.
Not making any fuss, not moving, like a living dead without consciousness.
Wang Yuan had lived in Guizhou since he was a child and had long been accustomed to bloody events. But the city of Guizhou at this moment still shocked his soul. He finally saw the tragedy of the military disaster.
Moreover, this was just a controlled military disaster, and An Guirong quickly put an end to the rebellion.
Even Song Ling'er stopped being lively and followed Wang Yuan silently. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "When I become a female general, I will lead my troops to destroy the An family and avenge the people of Guizhou City!"
Several men carrying knives and arrows were walking blankly through the streets. They came to the door of the restaurant and asked: "Sir, are you under attack? We bought wine at a wine shop outside the city, and the wine there has long been emptied.
, do you have any wine here?"
The shopkeeper was in despair and showed no reaction.
"Hey, do you have any words to tell me if there is still wine?" the man scolded.
Another man said: "We are buying wine for Mr. Yangming, please bring out all the good wine in the store!"
Wang Yuan was about to ride his horse by when he heard this and suddenly turned his horse's head: "Brother, who is this Mr. Yangming you are talking about?"
The man smiled and said: "We call him Mr. Yangming when we learn about Wang Shouren."
Wang Yuan quickly asked: "Where is Mr. Yangming?"
The man replied: "Longgang Mountain next to Longchangyi."
Wang Yuan immediately dismounted and entered the store, picked up two jars of wine from the counter, and said to Song Ling'er: "Pay!"
Song Ling'er placed a broken piece of silver at the shopkeeper's feet and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Go to Longgang Mountain," Wang Yuan greeted the men with a smile, "Let's go and drink with Mr. Yangming!"
A month ago, Wang Yangming was still telling cold jokes to his servants. Now, local people have taken the initiative to buy wine for him.
Not only that, Wang Yangming also learned simple Miao language and often gave lectures to the seedlings in Longgang Mountain. Those seedlings were still in the slash-and-burn era. Wang Yangming used Mandarin with Yue accent and Miao dialect to preach the truth, but he didn't know what those seedlings were.
Do you understand? Anyway, there are quite a few people listening to his lectures.
These men were bandits near Longgang Mountain who specialized in robbing passing merchants. They actually knew how to buy wine to honor Mr. Yangming.
