Zhengde for three years.

The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

The early spring in Guizhou is very cold, and it is even colder in the mountains, and there is even snow that has not melted.

In the Ming Dynasty, the temperature has been declining since the Hongwu period. This trend continued until the end of Zhengde, with only a few small pick-ups in between.

However, Emperor Jiajing was very lucky, and during his reign for decades, the climate was always in a state of warming. Emperor Longqing was tragic, a few years after ascending the throne, the temperature in the country became colder and colder, and it was not until the end of Wanli that it warmed up for a few years. Then the Emperor of the Apocalypse took over, and the temperature in the country fell off a cliff, officially ushering in the era of the Xiaoice River.

In terms of climate alone, what era is Wang Yuan in?

It is slightly warmer than Chongzhen's early years, and in another twenty years, the temperature will fall to lower than when Chongzhen succeeded to the throne!

Of course, as long as it bears these 20 years, the Ming Dynasty will be able to usher in a period of 60 years of recovery.

The warming period coincided with the reign of Jiajing, which should have been the golden period of the development of the Ming Dynasty. With the economic strength accumulated by the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, industry and commerce ushered in explosive growth, and agriculture also developed rapidly due to climate warming. And began to come into contact with Western colonizers, American silver poured in, and scientific and technological exchanges were also carried out in collisions - what a beautiful era.

It's a pity that Emperor Jiajing was keen on power and did not play a positive role in the development of the country, but buried countless hidden dangers for his descendants.

But regardless of the rebellion, the Jiajing Dynasty is a prosperous era no matter how it is said, because the conditions in all aspects are too good, and it is a prosperous era to change a pig to be the emperor!

"Drive!"

More than a dozen horsemen rode through the mountains, and the horses' hooves splashed the thin snow, scaring the squirrels that had just come out of hibernation.

"Cement, wood, rebar, block me!"

Song Ling'er shouted excitedly, riding on horseback and bending her bow and arrows, aiming at a muntjac that was running. She is fourteen years old, she is a lot taller, and one bow in her hand has been replaced by two bows.

Three ocelots ran wildly through the woods, blocking the way of the muntjac, and frightened the prey into forcibly changing the direction of escape.

They belong to the named subspecies of the ocelot classification, and they are not the largest, but they are by no means the smallest. Among them, the fastest-growing cement has grown to weigh five pounds, with a body length of one foot and five inches, and a tail length of more than six inches - lighter than the raccoon cat of the same age, but more slender.

What about a good one-handed wolf?

A few days ago, I encountered a lone wolf, and the three ocelots turned around and ran, without any desire to fight at all. The wolf didn't bother to chase it, because it couldn't catch up, and it might get hurt when it fought.

The wild wolves in Guizhou are not very large, with an average weight of only about 25 kilograms, which is only slightly larger than the local dogs. You guys run hairy!

Wang Yuan felt that he had watched a fake video in his previous life.

Not only did the three ocelots fight with wolves, but they also met muntjac deer. When they first started to train them to hunt, they saw the muntjac deer standing stupidly, and then turned around and ran to chase the squirrels.

After trying it many times, Wang Yuan finally figured it out.

However, the ocelot will not attack any larger animal, which stems from the nature of wild animals to avoid any potential risk of injury.

After a year of training, the three cutes finally got their senses and were able to follow orders and actively pursue medium-sized herbivores. But it's just a pursuit, basically no physical contact, and it won't rush up to pounce and bite, which is not as effective as a hunting dog.

"Haha, look at me!"

With the cooperation of the ocelot, Song Ling'er finally closed the distance and shot an arrow at the panicked muntjac.

Not counting the strokes, clusters of arrows swept past the muntjac's back, scraping a deep wound. This is already very good, Song Ling'er belonged to riding and shooting just now, and she was aiming at a high-speed moving target.

The muntjac was injured and in pain, and suddenly fled faster.

Song Ling'er was extremely depressed and shouted, "Wang Yuan, shoot it for me!" ”

"Whew!"

An iron arrow burst out of the forest and pierced the muntjac's head accurately.

"Good arrows!"

Ah Chai and Yuan Zhi galloped away, only to see that the arrow just hit the muntjac eye, and they were so impressed by Wang Yuan's divine shooting that they threw themselves to the ground.

Song Ling'er was also pleasantly surprised: "Wang Yuan, your riding shooting is getting more and more accurate!" ”

In two months, Wang Yuan will be thirteen years old. In addition to the fact that his body is still thin, he is about the same size as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and his strength is getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Yuan looked at the sky: "It's not too early, go back." ”

The prey corpse was naturally dealt with by an entourage, and Song Ling'er came to Wang Yuan's side on a horse: "Hey, you really want to take the county exam." Isn't it good to be a warrior, why do you have to be a scholar? ”

"You don't understand." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Song Linger said: "This year's county exam is not easy. Guizhou City and the three surrounding long lawsuits all have to take the exam in Guizhou City, and the chief examiner is that Xi Shu. You should have taken the exam last year, and our Song family is the chief examiner, which guarantees that you can easily show off your talents. ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Last year, I didn't even finish the "Notes on the Four Books", and even if I passed the exam, it would be a fool. ”

"Then you should also take the test, no one will take care of it this year." Song Linger said.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "If I am even afraid of the county examination, how can I participate in the township examination in the future?" ”

Song Ling'er said: "You are just a fool, you don't know how to take advantage of it." ”

In less than two years, the pattern of Guizhou has undergone major changes.

Just last year, An and Song sent people to Beijing to bribe officials in the name of sacrificing horses. A white tiger skin broke Liu Jinle, and Gonggong Liu did not keep it himself, but immediately presented it to Emperor Zhengde.

The emperor and the eunuchs were happy, how could there be anything that could not be done?

Wang Kui, the governor of Guizhou, was immediately convicted and returned to Beijing, and since then he has returned to his hometown, and the post of governor has no longer been established in Guizhou.

Cutting off the common enemy, the contradiction between the An clan and the Song clan broke out instantly.

An Guirong took the initiative to win over Han officials and spent financial resources to run a social school. In order to curry favor with the political envoy of Zuobu, who believed in Buddhism, he also took the initiative to renovate and expand the Buddhist temple, and then built bridges and paved roads in the name of the political envoy of Youbu.

The political envoys and deputy scholars of Guizhou were very satisfied, and unanimously agreed that the An family was loyal to the imperial court and began to join forces to deal with the disobedient Song family.

With the cooperation of many parties, the Song family lost the control of the scientific expedition in Guizhou City.

Song Ran was confused by this series of operations, and several anti-tax activities broke out in the jurisdiction, and he frequently deployed troops to suppress it, and he was no longer able to fight with An Guirong.

Song Jian offered Wang Yuan's strategy, hoping to provoke a rebellion in the An clan's territory. But Song Ran was reluctant to use his property and armor to bribe those barbarians, so he only sent a few people to provoke blindly, which was tantamount to invalidation.

Back in the Beiya guest room, Wang Yuan began to sort out the exam supplies, and he was still very sure about the county exam.

The Guizhou student official is far away in Yunnan, and the Guizhou scientific examination is completely in the hands of the deputy student official. No matter how strict the Xishu is, it must take into account the local reality, and it is impossible to use the standards of Jiangnan to demand Guizhou students.

Wang Yuan doesn't need to learn too well, just be better than others, he is the one who eats rice among a group of rookies.

……

Huguang, Changde Fu, Wuling County.

Wang Yangming carried his bags on his back, followed by two entourages, and said goodbye to the students by the river: "Wei Qian, Qingshi, you all go back, do you still want to send me to Guizhou?" ”

"Sir, are you still in the mood to laugh?" Ji Yuanheng looked melancholy, "This is going to Guizhou, the road is far away and unpredictable, sir, please take care." ”

Jiang Xin fell directly to the ground: "Although the students are only taught for a few days, they will benefit for life. Please Mr. go, be sure to take care of your body, one day you will be able to return to the court, sweep away the traitor of Liu Jin, and return the next bright tomorrow! ”

"Go, go!" Wang Yangming waved his hand and stepped on the passenger ship with his entourage.

Wang Yangming was demoted to Longchangyi, and it was when Wang Yuan snatched Master Shen up the mountain.

But he didn't leave immediately because his wife had a miscarriage. After taking care of him at home for a while, Wang Yangming visited his old friends again and went south until the next year. On the way, he was chased and killed by assassins sent by Liu Jin, and escaped by faking his death by throwing himself into the river, and then went into hiding and went to Nanjing to visit his father.

In the winter of this year, Wang Yangming went to Yuecheng to give a lecture and accepted his brother-in-law Xu Ai as his eldest disciple.

On the way from Yuecheng to Guizhou, Wang Yangming stopped and stopped along the way, and was often invited by officials along the way to give lectures. Ji Yuanheng and Jiang Xin were his disciples in Wuling.

The boat floated farther and farther away on the river, and at last only a shadow remained.

Ji Yuanheng and Jiang Xin kept kneeling on the dock until they couldn't see the shadow of the boat at all, and then they helped each other up, with a lonely and sad face.
