Great time travel

Chapter 179, This year China is rich in emperors ([-])
South Zhili, Haizhou Prefecture, Huaguo Mountain (also known as Yuntai Mountain)
A mountain with verdant vegetation and strange rocks stands proudly in the middle of the sea against the day and night of the surging waves!

This is Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West", the fairy mountain in the sea where the stone monkey Sun Wukong hatched!Huaguo Mountain!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Huaguo Mountain in Haizhou was not as it is in modern times. Due to long-term silt accumulation, the coastline expanded, and finally gradually connected to the land in the west. An island in the sea, separated from Haizhou by a vast ocean.

As described in "Journey to the West", the terrain of Huaguo Mountain is rugged and the mountains are continuous. Even if there is only a little flat land, most of it is mainly saline-alkali land and sandy land, which cannot be cultivated.So apart from a few fishermen and one or two extremely dilapidated Taoist temples, there are hardly any people.Although due to the widespread dissemination of "Journey to the West", this once unknown Huaguo Mountain has become more or less well-known in China at this time, but the tourism industry of the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the modern one after all, and the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty are even more unsuitable for tourism. Mountains play with water, so Huaguo Mountain was still desolate during the reign of Chongzhen.

However, this island is an excellent advance base for the Traversing Group, which uses the sea fleet as its global mobile force.Advance can infiltrate and affect the entire coastal plain of East China, and retreat only needs a small number of ships and marines to ensure the safety of the entire island.The towering cliffs on the island can also be used to set up navigation lighthouses and guard posts. Although the island itself is not rich in products, the most critical fresh water for the navy is quite sufficient - Huaguo Mountain is full of gurgling streams and springs Yes, the "Water Curtain Cave" in the description of "Journey to the West" is not fabricated.

Therefore, long before Wang Qiu and the others entered this time and space, the Lingao Crossing Group with its headquarters in Hainan Island dispatched Lu Wenyuan, who was in charge of intelligence work in the north, to set up a manor on the island of Huaguoshan, called "" Monkey King Village" serves as an information station and a transfer station for commodity sales.If the time is right, it can also be transformed into a springboard for launching a northern offensive, similar to Hong Kong Island and Zhoushan during the Opium War.

However, with the intrusion of the Chinese government in the modern world, and the birth of the "Global Chinese Travelers Alliance" in this time and space, the strategy plan of the Hainan Island Travel Group was completely disrupted.Since the Huameng successfully recruited Marshal Chen Xin and his Dengzhou Town Army, which occupied the entire Shandong Peninsula, and had a more ideal springboard for the peninsula, Huaguoshan, an island base, naturally lost its value and remained idle for a long time. .

Next, on the Huaibei Plain on the other side of Huaguo Mountain, the Ming Dynasty official army, the Wenxiangjiao uprising army, and the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties killed each other, and staged a wonderful drama of "mantis catching cicadas, and oriole behind". .After a fierce battle, the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became the final victors. Wang Ke, the once arrogant leader of Wenxiang Sect, was defeated and captured. The spoils of the Qing army.

However, there were also a small number of Wenxiang believers who refused to seek refuge with the Manchu Tartars. Instead, they supported Xu Xiner, the young daughter of the former leader Xu Hongru, the "Saint" Xu Xiner, who managed to hug the thighs of the traversers, and then gathered thousands of people who refused to surrender. The remnants of the Qing Dynasty continued to defend Haizhou, and received a small amount of arms assistance from the Huameng.

However, these remnants of the Wenxiang Sect are weak after all, and they are the mobs among the mob. They also lack foundation in Haizhou. It was hard to beat.In addition, the local gentry in Shanghai continued to rebel, so that they, the remnants of the Wenxiang sect who rushed home, even lost the crucial Haizhou port for a time.

Fortunately, the Qing army quickly shifted the focus of their strategy to Jiangnan, and did not invest too much energy in Haizhou. Therefore, these Wenxiang sects who were like waste wood on the battlefield finally got a chance to survive.But in the face of such a dangerous situation like a candle in the wind, all the incense masters and immortal masters felt that there was no safe place on the mainland, so they sent the "sage" Xu Xin'er to the Monkey King Village in Huaguo Mountain, praying for "" The asylum of the thieves".

——Anyway, this "Holy Aunt" who is just a lolita is just a symbol after all, and no one will take her will seriously.On the contrary, if Xu Xin'er is handed over to you "short-haired masters" as hostages, it will make them, down-and-out people, fool into getting more assistance.

Besides, if they really can't stand on the mainland, they might as well escape to the Huaguo Mountain together and make a living with the holy lady.

After research, the Chinese League authorities felt that accepting the asylum of such a "political ally" was a matter of course.

Therefore, "Holy Aunt" Xu Xin'er stayed in Huaguoshan Monkey King Villa, accepted the hospitality of the island owner Lu Wenyuan, and arranged for a teacher to teach her.

Next, with a series of vicissitudes in the south of the Yangtze River and the collapse of the internal struggle of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the external military pressure of the Haizhou gang of Wenxiangjiao remnants was greatly reduced, and they were able to temporarily Watching the fire from the other side.After enjoying a period of peaceful life like this, these guys also put down their thoughts of fighting for hegemony in the world, and only wanted to continue to occupy the mountain as king in Haizhou, and be happy every day.

——Although these remnants of the Wenxiang Sect are so messed up that they can't even occupy the entire territory of Haizhou. Barely holding on to a small piece of land such as Haizhou City and Ganyu County by the sea, and the fields are generally barren with saline and alkali, and the crops are very few. However, there is the largest salt field in the Ming Dynasty at that time.Coupled with the labor fees obtained by helping the traversers recruit Huaibei refugees and transship them to sea at Haizhou Port, the Wenxiang Sect members in Haizhou have a very nourishing life.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

However, Haizhou Wenxiang Sect members had such a peaceful life, but in this spring, they suddenly encountered a big crisis!

——Their leader, Wang Ke, managed to escape from the prison of the Jurchen Tartars. He returned to the old nest of the Wenxiang Sect in the Northland and made a comeback. The territory of the county has established a decent [-]-mile "Mahayana Kingdom"!
Originally, what happened in the north had little to do with the remnants of the Wenxiang sect in Haizhou.After all, the city of Haizhou they were staying in was separated from the "Mahayana Kingdom" established by the leader Wang Ke in Hebei by a whole Shandong province, plus Dorgon's "Great Jin Kingdom", which can be called a wind horse and an ox. Irrelevant.But the problem is that the greed of the human heart is always endless. After the establishment of the "Mahayana Kingdom" in Hebei, the leader Wang Ke naturally thought of the old Wenxiang sects scattered in the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, and sent people south to recruit them. The corner of the Qing Dynasty, the Dajin Kingdom and the Haizhou "Holy Lady".However, some people in Haizhou were really confused by Wang Ke's identity as the leader and the title of "Emperor of the Mahayana Kingdom", which caused commotion within this small group.

Regarding this, several independent incense masters and guardians in Haizhou are very worried.After breaking up for so long, they certainly don't want to listen to the leader who is thousands of miles away to give orders, and the not-so-broad-minded leader Wang Ke may not be able to tolerate rebellious guys like them.

But the problem is, for the Wenxiang congregation, the leader Wang Ke is equivalent to the status of the Pope among Catholics. With this "sage" from Haizhou, he is really not qualified to fight him, let alone Wang Ke. But the leader now has the bonus of the title of emperor... Although any reasonable, high-ranking and powerful people would not take such a title of reckless emperor seriously, but helplessly, most of the people in this world are ignorant and foolish.

At this moment, these guys suddenly heard that the Jin Wang Zu Dashou, who was entrenched in Youyan and Shanxi, had the acquiescence of the "Australian Bandit" to openly worship the heavens and proclaim himself emperor. , Wu Xiang and the like can be emperors, why can't our Miss Shenggu be?As long as Xu Xin'er becomes the emperor, both sides will be empires. It seems that they are not afraid of the "Mahayana Kingdom" sending people to confuse and "pull the sheep"!Of course, in order to reassure the Huameng, Xu Xin'er, who became the empress, can continue to live in Huaguo Mountain and never talk or do anything.

As a result, they really put forward this idea and request to the Huameng side through Lu Wenyuan, the island owner of Huaguoshan Monkey King Village.

When the Huameng received the news, they were indeed stunned at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they had a new idea—after all, as the world hegemon destined to conquer the earth in the future, With the continuous development of the power of the Chinese League, there will definitely be many various vassal states in the future. How to handle the relationship with these vassal forces is obviously a question that will test the ability of the rulers of the Chinese League.Anyway, such a thing will definitely happen, so it seems good to simply take advantage of this opportunity and get an emperor to come out and practice first.

——Although it is a bit weird for an "empire" to recognize a republic as the suzerain...

And let a little loli become the emperor in Huaguo Mountain, it feels even more strange-are you sure this is not a female monkey who wants to be the Monkey King?
In short, the Huameng readily agreed to the wonderful request of the Haizhou Wenxiang Congregation to let the "Holy Aunt" Xu Xiner ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and undertook the entire ceremony of proclaiming the emperor.Even the President of the country heard about this, and was so amused that he actually wrote a volume of canonization documents in his private capacity.

Next, a grand ceremony of enthronement and proclaiming emperor with loud gongs and drums was organized in Huaguo Mountain, the hometown of Monkey King...
