Wang Shouren rode a horse and followed Haihan to Qifangtong in Danzhou.

In order to better pretend to be a Li person, a few days along the way, he learned the words of toast from Haihan.

I suddenly found that the toast dialect was interesting, and I sincerely wanted to learn.

"Adults learn so fast."

"Do you think this official is right?"

"Hmmm! It's like that! ”

Haihan found that as long as he said it three times, Wang Shouren found the pattern, and he had no problem with Tusikan Mountain.

"My lord, Qifang Pass is very dangerous, you should bring more officers and soldiers." Haihan worried.

Wang Shouren didn't care: "There are many people who are eyesore, in case I am discovered, I can easily run alone." ”

On the road, Wang Shouren secretly observed the customs of Hainan.

The island is not only short of horses, but also lacks iron tools, the islanders of Hainan fish more for a living, because the fishing tools can be obtained from the bamboo and wood, and they can be taken anywhere.

Qiongzhou is far away from Guangdong Province.

Merchants from Guangdong mostly landed at the port of Qiongzhou, which facilitated trade, and the people were able to exchange fish and shrimp for silver.

The further you go in the direction of Danzhou, the more desolate it becomes.

"Brother Gao said that he wanted to reclaim this Hainan Island, and all of them would be planted with corn and rice, how many acres would he have?" Wang Shouren muttered.

Haihan subconsciously shook his head: "Students don't know either, they don't farm at home." ”

First, I don't have iron tools, and second, I don't know how to farm.

Wang Shouren smiled, accelerated his march, and arrived at Danzhou Mansion in one day.

The rest of the road can only be done on both feet, and riding a horse will arouse the suspicion of the Li people.

Two days later, Qifangtong.

Wang Shouren found that there was a festival here, with every household burning incense and worshipping, and people dressed strangely danced.

A sea of people.

Haihan whispered: "Today's Halloween is fasting, and that person is Fu Nan Snake." ”

Wang Shouren saw that in the center of the venue, a sturdy iron man holding a silk leather stick was jumping back and forth in the field, as if performing a ritual.

It is worth mentioning that he has a large snake by his side.

The tiger skin-like pattern keeps swallowing snake letters.

I saw that the Fu Nan snake rode on the big snake and shouted: "I am the king of the southern snake, go down to save the people." ”

There was cheering and indignation, beating gongs and drums.

Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and raised his hand: "I don't believe it, how can you prove it?" ”

“？？？” Fu Nan Snake was a little confused.

This scholar looks a little stupid, his eyes are blank, his face is white and tender, and he has never suffered from life at first glance.

Haihan was so shocked that cold sweat broke out in his palms, and he looked at Wang Shouren blankly, you are a spy! Are you afraid you forgot?

"What's your name?" Fu Nan Snake asked coldly.

"Wang Bo'an!"

"Do you dare to come up and touch this snake god?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Wang Shouren strode out of the crowd, Haihan couldn't hold him, so he had to walk over.

There was a sound of horror all around, and his eyes fell on this tender scholar.

The snake god eats raw meat, and he has to eat the amount of a cow in three days.

Except for the Fu Nan snake, no one dared to touch the snake god.

"This book grows white and tender, it must have an appetite for the snake god, right?"

"Look, the snake god has moved!"

After seeing Wang Shouren walking over, the big snake slowly raised his head, stared at him with cold eyes, and sucked the snake letter.

Wang Shouren was scared, but he still remembered that the old brother said that knowledge and action are one.

Whether the Fu Nan snake is a snake god or not, he doesn't know.

"If I touch this big snake, I am the snake god?"

Fu Nan Snake was a little angry: "There is only one snake god, and that is me." ”

"You think you can control snakes, but you call yourself the snake god, why can't I control snakes?" Wang Shouren asked.

Reaching out to the head of the snake, surprisingly, the python did not bite him.

"Before you fast, you feed it, so that it does not want to move, and if you make a noise around it, the people will be misunderstood."

Wang Shouren finished speaking methodically and looked at the people around him.

The reason why the Li people were bewitched by the Funan snake was because of the identity of the snake god.

It would be great if we could solve the rebellion in Hainan without using our troops.

Fu Nansnake felt that the identity of this scholar was not simple, if he hadn't said a mouthful of toast, he would have been beaten up a long time ago.

The surroundings were filled with righteous indignation, and some disgusted Wang Shouren interrupted the fast.

"After fasting, go to Qiongzhou Mansion and attack the Beijing army!" Fu Nan Snake shouted: "According to the report of the spies, there is a large piece of grain there, and I am waiting for it if I rob it!" ”

There was a cheer and singing and dancing.

Wang Shouren shook his head, these people were convinced of Fu Nan Snake, so they could only meet each other in arms.

He had thought about killing Fu Nan Snake here, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave.

"What about adults? They're going to storm the camp. Haihan said worriedly.

Wang Shouren nodded: "Let's go back first!" ”

This time it wasn't in vain, at least I recognized Fu Nansnake.

There were still a few days left after the end of the fast, Wang Shouren hurried back to the camp and said to Xu Jinzhong: "In a few days, Fu Nanshan will lead an army of 100,000 to attack!" ”

The corners of Xu Jinzhong's mouth twitched fiercely.

………

The results of the Liangxiang science exam are out.

A total of thirteen people were admitted, seven more than the previous one.

A few of the children of the officials wept with joy, and won the quota for the imperial examination, so that they could participate in the imperial examination like other scholars.

Yan Chengjin returned to the mansion and received a letter from Wang Shouren.

"Who sent this back?"

Jinyi Wei hurriedly announced: "Eight hundred miles of urgency is transmitted back to Beijing." ”

At this moment, He Neng came over and said, "Young master, there is an old man named Wang Tianxu outside, who said he wanted to see you." ”

"Let him in."

Yan Chengjin was a little curious, what was Wang Tianxu doing in the house?

Wang Tianxu walked into the mansion with a bamboo stick and looked around at the mansion, which was really broken.

muttered a few words and walked into Yan's mansion.

"You're the same year as my good grandson?" Wang Tianxu asked happily.

Yan Chengjin saw it outside the noon gate, and he beat Wang Hualai, and when he got up, he really had a bit of fairy wind bones.

Slightly arched his hand, puzzled: "Exactly, I don't know what happened to the old gentleman's visit?" ”

"Good grandson, let the old man bring something to you." Wang Tianxu took out the jade shaft holy decree from his cuffs: "I don't know what to do, he asked the old man to come, and the old man came." ”

The matter he agreed with Wang Shouren was of great importance.

It must have been because he was afraid that he would not believe it, so Bo'an asked his eldest father to bring the Jade Shaft Holy Decree.

Yan Chengjin opened the letter, and his face moved slightly.

It was expected that Fu Nan Snake gathered 100,000 people, but it was a bit unexpected to be robbed of 2,000 stone corn.

"There is Mr. Lao Wang, this official is going to enter the palace, and he is missing!"

Yan Chengjin quickly entered the palace in a sedan chair.

……

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi was reviewing the sparse performance, and had just discussed with the six ministers about the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination, and the ministers had not yet left.

At this time, Jinyiwei sent a sparse performance, Emperor Hongzhi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and Ma Wensheng asked, "Your Majesty, but is there something?" ”

"In Danzhou, Hainan, a rebellion broke out among the Li people!" Emperor Hongzhi said.

Qin Hong didn't care: "Tusi is not to be afraid, let the yamen exterminate it." ”

"100,000 people!" Emperor Hongzhi's face was grim.

Hiss......

The hearts of the ministers of the six ministries were cold, 100,000 people, wouldn't the whole island be reversed?

"Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin asks to see you!"

"Let him in."

Yan Chengjin walked into the hall quickly, and Emperor Hongzhi was in a hurry to play in his hand, his face was sad, he must have known.

"Your Majesty, the minister received Wang Shouren's letter, and the Li people in Hainan rebelled."

"I already know." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Qin Hong: "What does the military department think, how to quell the rebellion?" ”

"When the governor of Liangguang was in Guangzhou, he roughly knew the strength of troops in Guangdong, which was roughly 100,000 people." Qin Hong said.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and looked up at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late, please ask Your Majesty's permission to recruit troops in Hainan." ”

Da Ming Law, recruiting troops and buying horses without permission, is regarded as a rebellion.

If you want to recruit militia, you must get the consent of the imperial court.

When Wang Shouren left the capital, he left a hand, and when he saw Hainan's sparse performance, he reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Even if Your Majesty agrees, and the will is transmitted to Hainan, it will also take more than half a month, what's the difference?"

"It's just different, dissatisfied with Your Majesty, the minister has already agreed with Wang Shouren."

Before you set off, you knew that the Li people would rebel?

Emperor Hongzhi and the others looked at Yan Chengjin, their mouths slightly open, and they didn't know what to say.

"It's really different." Li Dongyang said: "Guess, I'm afraid that Wang Shouren has already started recruiting troops at this time, right?" ”
