A few days after Wang Shouren and his entourage came to the old port, they heard the news of the local riot in Gangnan County, and as a result, they immediately put down what they were doing and hurried to Gangnan County, but when they came here, they saw a peaceful scene, and the people in the county still lived in an orderly manner as usual, but the lazy natives who used to be everywhere could no longer be found.

"My lord, didn't there just happen to the native riots in this Gangnan County, why doesn't it seem to have been affected in the slightest?" Seeing the lively scene in front of him, a middle-aged man in Wang Yangming's group said in confusion.

The middle-aged man's doubts also resonated with others, and one of the young men standing next to Wang Shouren also spoke: "Qian Shishi is right, and the students also have the same question, the current Gangnan County doesn't look like it has just experienced a riot, it can't be that the news we received before was wrong, right?" ”

"Yuan Heng, there is no problem with the news we received before, you may not have noticed when you entered the city gate just now, there are traces of recent injuries from weapons on the city gate, although they have been repaired, but if you look carefully, you can still see it, it must have been left in that riot!" Wang Shouren, who had a high forehead and a long face, stroked the thick beard under his chin, and looked at the lively scene on the street with a smile.

The young man named "Yuan Heng" by Wang Shouren is named Ji Yuanheng, is the first disciple accepted by Wang Shouren, and is also a student who has the deepest understanding of his psychology.

It's just in the original history. The ending of this Ji Yuanheng was very tragic. A few years later, King Ning's rebellion was suppressed by Wang Shouren. Someone framed Wang Shouren for fornicating with King Ning, and arrested Ji Yuanheng for torture, but Ji Yuanheng gritted his teeth and insisted that his teacher was innocent, until Ming Shizong ascended the throne, so he was released, but unfortunately he died of injuries only five days after he was released from prison.

Ji Yuanheng is also an extremely smart person, and after hearing the teacher's reminder, he immediately woke up. But then his face turned pale, and he muttered a little: "Teacher, when we entered the city gate just now, we smelled a foul smell, and the students deliberately looked for it at that time, but they didn't see the source of the stench, now that I think about it, it is difficult to ......."

"Hehe, Yuan Heng, you guessed right, the stench did come from the previous riot, I saw a half-cut human hand under the city wall. It is estimated that it was accidentally left behind by the people cleaning the battlefield in the city, and the color of the lower part of the city wall is dark. It was probably soaked in blood, and the stench came from the walls themselves, and it was estimated that it would take a year for them to slowly dissipate. Wang Shouren said with a smile, when he was in Longchang before, he had encountered several conflicts between the Miao, the wingmen and the Han people, so he was not particularly unfamiliar with the local riots in front of him.

Hearing that what he smelled just now turned out to be the putrid smell of corpses and blood, Ji Yuanheng and some other people were also pale, except for Ji Yuanheng, the others were all servants in the yamen of the Inspectorate Division, it can be said that they were all born in Jinshi, and they usually can't even kill chickens, let alone experience the battlefield, it is estimated that this is the first time they are so close to the battlefield.

Wang Shouren saw Ji Yuanheng's reaction, but he smiled indifferently, when he saw the cruel scene on the battlefield for the first time, he also felt very uncomfortable, but later he saw more, so he was naturally not surprised, and even he regarded the experience on the battlefield as a life experience. In addition, Gangnan County is only his first battle, and there are more cruel places that need to be inspected by him in person, and by the way, he can also take his disciples to see the cruelty of the battlefield.

At this time, it was already noon, Wang Shouren and his party were all dressed in plain clothes, so naturally they would not go to the county office, although Wang Shouren and Zhu Zhishan were old acquaintances, and there was a letter from Tang Bohu in his arms, but Wang Shouren has always been a business first, only if he thinks that he has checked the local officials clearly, he will go to see Zhu Zhishan, such as when he was in Malacca before, he was the last Tang Bohu to see.

The weather in Nanyang is hot, after the Han immigrants come here, it takes a long time to adapt to the local climate, and the biggest problem is the diet, after all, in this hot weather, many people have no appetite, no appetite can not eat, often lack of diet, the body's resistance will decline, and then everything will come out.

However, the current Nanyang immigrants have summed up a set of their own diet, such as the old port and Malacca, where the diet is mainly sweet and sour, and last year Zhou Chong also distributed his own unique chili seeds to Nanyang, so the Nanyang diet has a more spicy taste, whether it is sweet, sour or spicy, it can stimulate people's appetite and make people unconsciously consume enough food.

Although Wang Yangming and his party have been in Malacca for nearly a month, they are still a little uncomfortable with the local food, especially the sour and sweet taste, which makes some people who are not used to eating reluctant to use chopsticks at all. Moreover, Gangnan County is not the old port, and there are still some restaurants with Central Plains flavors in the old port, but here in Gangnan County, all the places to eat are all the same taste.

In desperation, Wang Yangming and his party found the most tavern and asked for a few spicy dishes, and then each of them asked for a piece of rice, and hastily ate some to replenish their physical strength, but Ji Yuanheng and the others thought of the corpse smell they smelled before, and they all had no appetite, but Wang Yangming was not affected in any way, and after adapting to these days, he can already taste those sour, spicy and sweet dishes.

After eating, Wang Yangming took the free fruit from the store, and went out of the county while eating, in a place like Nanyang, the fruit is not worth much at all, and there are as many as there are in the forest outside the city, and many fruits can be sweet and lose their teeth, which is also the main source of sweetness in Nanyang.

Before the Turen rioted into the Han settlement in the south of the city, the Ming army that was ambushed there introduced a village built in the valley, and then the army blocked the way out of the valley, and burned most of the natives to death, and now Wang Yangming is going to go to the valley to see, after all, although the natives who died in this fire cannot be counted, but according to preliminary estimates, at least more than 100,000.

In addition, Wang Yangming himself has always been very interested in military affairs, and he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, so he wants to make a field trip to see how the garrison in the old port eliminated those more than 200,000 natives?

At that moment, Wang Shouren and his party walked out of the south gate of the county seat, all the way to the valley that burned countless natives, and on the way, they finally saw the obvious traces left by the natives riots, such as some villages that were originally very neat, but now they have become scorched earth, fortunately, the residents of these villages have moved to the county seat before the riots, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.

Along the traces left by the destruction of the natives, Wang Shouren and they didn't need to ask for directions at all, and soon came to the black valley that had been burned, only to see that this valley was not particularly dangerous, there were two hills in the east and west, and there was a small river in the middle, the original village was built on the east bank of the river, but now it has long been gone, and even the entire valley is black, and there are also rocks burned on the cliffs on both sides, and there is no grass in the valley.

When Wang Shouren and his party came to the valley, they found that the mouth of the valley was guarded by sergeants, and other people were forbidden to enter, because the corpses in the valley had not been cleaned up, in order to avoid the plague, so the entire valley was temporarily closed, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Gnea~, teacher, these sergeants don't allow others to enter, how can we go into the valley to check?" Ji Yuanheng asked while retching, although they were still quite far away from the valley, they could still smell the smell of barbecue emanating from the valley, and then thinking of the countless dead bodies in the valley, it made everyone feel a churning in their stomachs.

Wang Shouren's face was as usual, only to see him look at the terrain of the valley not far away, and then nodded with satisfaction, although this valley does not seem to be dangerous, but the cliffs on both sides are enough to block people who want to escape, and the exits at both ends of the valley are not wide, only a small number of troops are needed, the valley can be trapped to death.

"Yuan Heng, take out my seal letter, the army is no better than others, if you don't use the identity of the envoy, I'm afraid these people will never let us enter the valley!" Wang Shouren said at this time, he came out to visit this time as an ordinary person, because he knew that only in this way could he see a more real side, but when he encountered some problems that ordinary people could not solve, he would not introduce and show his identity.

When Ji Yuanheng heard the teacher's order, he immediately agreed excitedly, took out Wang Shouren's seal letter from the burden behind him, and then ran to the sergeant guarding the valley to indicate the identity of his party. The sergeant guarding the valley was also shocked when he heard that the person who came was actually the envoy of the Governor's Palace, and hurriedly went to inform the supreme commander here, that is, a general surnamed Shi, after all, they were illiterate, and they couldn't tell whether Wang Shouren's seal was true or false.

When he heard his subordinates report that the envoy of the governor's palace had come to the small valley he guarded, he thought he had met a liar, but when he saw Wang Shouren's letter, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly ran to greet him, and then personally led the way and led Wang Shouren and them into the valley, but when they saw the situation in the valley, Ji Yuanheng and the others were repentant.
