Great time travel

Fan Wai Fan Wai [-], "Great Smash Bros. in the Late Ming Dynasty" copy of the Great Demon Kingdom Chapter [The Marriage of the Great Sage]
Early summer of 1653 AD, Huaibei, Haizhou (Lianyungang)
Since the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the chaos of the world, Haizhou has been the territory of the so-called "Great Holy Kingdom" for 18 years.

——Of course, in places other than Haizhou, it is generally renamed, and it is derogatoryly called the "Great Demon Kingdom".

Because, even among so many separatist regimes with demons dancing wildly and bizarrely in the Central Plains today, the "Great Holy Kingdom" in Haizhou is definitely the most magical, or the most magical one: this "country" is actually based on "Journey to the West" "Record" for regime structure!

When the Ming Dynasty collapsed, the Ming government army, the Wenxiangjiao uprising army and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty fought against each other on the land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River. In the end, the Qing army won. Even the leader of Wenxiang sect, Wang Ke, was defeated and captured for a time before he escaped from the predicament. Fleeing back to Hebei, he established the "Mahayana Kingdom" in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, another group of remnants of the Wenxiang Sect stayed in Lianghuai, supported the "Holy Aunt" Xu Xiner as the main force, and retreated to Haizhou to continue to resist.Because they sold themselves in time to join the "Australian" traversers entrenched on the Huaguo Mountain outside Haizhou Port, and the place was quite remote and desolate, they finally survived, and gradually formed a nominally respected Xu Xiner as the queen, In fact, it is a mini-dependent country that is fully attached to the traverser.

When the traversers began to establish a system for this dependent country, they found that no matter from which point of view, this country was too small, with a population of only tens of thousands, which was only equivalent to a vassal state of [-] stones in the Warring States Period of Japan.Moreover, the regime was in disarray. The titular empress Xu Xiner was just a lolita at the time, and was thrown as a hostage by the traversers on Huaguo Mountain, with no real power at all.The following six chiefs each have a bunch of minions, roughly similar in power, not only the six are dissatisfied with each other, but they even lack control over their own subordinates, and they can't be pinched at all.

As a result, this congenitally deficient Haizhou "Great Holy Kingdom" had to admit the reality and adopted a enfeoffment system similar to that of the Japanese Sengoku daimyo.

However, the place where the "Great Holy Kingdom" was founded happened to be next to the Huaguo Mountain where the legendary stone monkey was born.So under someone's bad taste, when the relevant departments were planning this small semi-colonial country, they actually used the monkey king's routine to divide up the enfeoffment—the six leaders of the Wenxiang sect in Haizhou were enfeoffed separately. The names of the Great Sage Pingtian (Bull Demon King), the Great Sage Overturning the Sea, the Great Sage Hunting the Sky, the Great Sage Yishan, the Great Sage Ventilation, and the Great Sage Exorcism, are equal to each other, regardless of their status.And Empress Xu Xiner, who is resident in Huaguo Mountain, naturally inherited the title of "Monkey King" from Monkey King... Then, under these great saints, a lot of people were also sealed according to the system of "Journey to the West". The cave master, the mountain master, the altar master and the village master.

——Although it sounds magical and terrifying, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than changing the titles of the elders, envoys, and servants of the Japanese samurai vassal state to names that are full of "Journey to the West". In addition, the feudal lord has lost power all the year round and has never been able to take charge of the government.

However, in the eyes of the feudal literati and officials of the Ming Dynasty, such a monstrous and weird regime is still unacceptable, not to mention that these guys are still puppets supported by "Australian thieves", so they unceremoniously derogate as It is the Great Demon Kingdom.At that time, some good scholars wrote countless posting posts, giving the leaders of the "Great Holy Kingdom" derogatory titles such as demon head, devil head, demon girl, and witch.

Next, when the news about the establishment of the "Great Holy Kingdom" spread to the inland provinces through countless hands, under the false rumors, combined with traditional folk tales of gods and monsters, many stories about the "Haizhou Devil" evolved. The horror legends of the "Nation"—for example, the demon heads of the Haizhou Demon Kingdom like to use human skin to make banners and drums, and use human bones to make magic tools. ; while the witches of the Haizhou Demon Kingdom bathe in the blood of virgin boys and girls every day in order to maintain their youth forever.Haizhou is almost described as the kingdom of lions and camels ruled by monsters in "Journey to the West".It even attracted many eminent monks and Taoist priests who tried to "subdue demons and eliminate demons"... Of course, what happened to these eminent monks and Taoist priests after they came to Haizhou to "subdue demons and demons" was not to be beaten with sticks in the street To die is to be invited to prison for food.

However, although the above-mentioned absurd rumors are mostly fabricated.But if you say that the "Great Sages" in Haizhou are not kind, you are right. In order to make profits and hug your thighs, the "Great Sage Kingdom" in Haizhou has long undertaken the business of helping traversers recruit immigrants.But in today's chaotic world of slaughter, most of the population that Haizhou can get is not from legitimate sources, but refugees captured and escorted by various warlords and bandits like slaves.Behind every strong man trafficked to Haizhou, there are countless burned towns and massacred villages.

Because of the vast and empty territories of Australia, America and Africa, the traversing people have an endless thirst for Chinese native immigrants, and they have never been hesitant to pay high prices for the introduction of immigrants.On the contrary, in the land of Lianghuai, where there have been years of wars and fires, the people's livelihood has reached the limit, and the situation is getting worse every year.In order to survive and grow, the soldiers, horses and rogues who were short of money and food, naturally became more and more interested in selling slaves to Haizhou. There are more and more old and weak skeletons on the way to Haizhou.Later, under the slander and slander of feudal literati and officials, it became a horror legend that the demon heads of the "Haizhou Demon Kingdom" send minions to catch people for blood sacrifices every year.

Of course, in the turbulent world of wars and wars where princes swarmed and soldiers and horses crisscrossed, the Haizhou Great Holy Kingdom (Demon Kingdom) itself has also become the target of enemy attacks many times.And the performance of the few great saints in the Haizhou Great Saint Kingdom on the field battlefield seems to be nothing but unsightly.

However, although they say that field battles are very difficult, their thick legs are really strong. Every time they encounter a strong enemy, they will abandon the countryside and retreat to the strong fortress built in advance by the sea to defend for a long time.All the military leaders on the land of the Central Plains do not have fleets, so they cannot completely surround these port fortresses with their own docks.However, the Haizhou defenders could rely on the sea to obtain supplies from the traversers, and finally dragged down the enemy's logistics and had to retreat.

After going back and forth, all the military leaders in the surrounding area understood that Haizhou, a hard bone with a backing, is not easy to chew. If you are not sure to win it, it is better to do business honestly.The great sages also understood their own weight, and no longer dared to dream of grand plans and great achievements, but were content with their respective corners of the seashore with winking, and even half of Haizhou Prefecture, which is far from the coastline. It was voluntarily given up by the great saints of the Great Holy Kingdom.

In this way, relying on hugging thighs and understanding current affairs, this small country finally survived in the whirlpool of troubled times in the Central Plains.

Then, the long time of 18 years was fleeting. As a temporary transitional regime for the global Chinese traverser alliance to indirectly rule the areas controlled by mainland China under the condition of insufficient strength, the "Great Holy Kingdom" in Haizhou finally ended its The historical mission has come to the end of the country.

However, compared with the tragic and bloody scenes of national subjugation in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, Haizhou in the late Ming Dynasty, the extremely wonderful "Great Holy Kingdom", was calm and peaceful in an unusually peaceful and even festive way. And steadily headed towards the end...

Haizhou Fucheng, the Palace of the Great Holy Kingdom
Although it is an imperial palace, as a miniature "county-level country", Haizhou's imperial palace is naturally impossible to be large. From the outside, it is just an ordinary two-story western villa surrounded by lawns and iron fences That's it, there are no well-arranged gardens, flowers and trees, clear springs and ponds, but the simplest arrangement of shrubs and green areas. At first glance, it is almost the same as the middle-class community houses in the United States in later generations.

At this very moment, the owner of this miniature palace, the contemporary heir to the name of Monkey King, the "Monkey King" Xu Xiner, who was called a female monkey and witch by countless gentry, is wearing a plain cheongsam and sitting on the throne. In front of the dressing table, three maids took turns to serve and dress up in front of the mirror.

With the passage of 18 years, this little queen who was once played with by the big sister of the traverser and bullied to no purpose has now become a lady with an elegant temperament like a lady, and a charming and plump woman like a ripe fruit. beauty.It's just that she still hasn't been able to become a qualified monarch. The small government in Haizhou has always been trapped internally and externally, struggling to survive in a difficult environment, which really doesn't allow her to really hold any power.

However, other than that, she basically lived a stable life for the rest of her life.Moreover, today, Xu Xiner was even more excited.

Because, today is the day when she gets married... er, to be more precise, it is the day when she remarries as a widow—as early as 14 years ago, Xu Xiner, who was still a girl at that time, had a marriage once, and her husband was ordered to be her family The teacher's traveler teacher, because the teacher and the student have been alone for a long time, actually went to bed after teaching... Fortunately, although it was "marriage with a son", the result was basically satisfactory.

However, unforeseen events occurred. Eight years ago, in order to annex the "Great Sage Kingdom" that came from the same line as the Wenxiang Sect, the "Mahayana Kingdom" in Hebei sent a large number of assassins to sneak into Haizhou in an attempt to assassinate the Queen.Xu Xin'er herself was safe and sound, but her husband was unfortunately killed, and the queen became a widow ever since.

Fortunately, under the continuous cultural infiltration of the Global Chinese Traversing Alliance for many years, such things as widowhood and chastity archways have become unpopular among the natives of the Ming Dynasty who are "Australianized".A few years later, the widow Xu Xiner met the second spring of her life in Jingshi China City (Perth), Australia. Because of her love of flowers and plants, she met the director of the Australian Capital Botanical Garden, a middle-aged mourner. His wife's time traveler is a widower, and they quickly get acquainted.After going through a few years of love marathon, now it's finally time for the cultivation to come true.

"...Mom! Haven't you dressed up yet? I even packed my suitcases back to Australia!"

Accompanied by the above-mentioned resonant words, a tall girl in a blue dress rushed in, followed by a middle-aged maid with a wry smile—she was the only daughter of Empress Xu Xiner, the "Monkey King" , the little princess Jin Xuezhu of the "Great Holy Kingdom".

It seems that thanks to the excellent genes of the traverser's father, as well as the adequate nutrition of the "Australian diet", coupled with the proper exercise of the "new school life", this underage little princess Jin Xuezhu is far taller than her mother robust.Moreover, Jin Xuezhu learned taekwondo in the Australian school club since she was a child. Among her peers, she was said to be invincible all over the school, so that she got an inexplicable nickname "Sun Wufan"...

(Those who can understand this stalk are retro anime fans who have watched "Dragon Ball".)
According to the feudal literati of the Ming Dynasty who liked flat-chested lolita and deformed feet, and paid attention to the aesthetics of "weak willows supporting the wind" and "growing lotuses every step of the way", this tall and powerful little princess Jin Xuezhu is simply unsightly and strange. .But in Australia, the base camp of time travelers, Jin Xuezhu, a sporty girl with a model figure, is a popular figure in the school. Her beautiful photos often appear on the cover of school magazines and magazines. She is a fan in school and in society. countless.So every time I go back to Haizhou with my mother, the boss is reluctant, and complains that this place is too boring after staying for a few days.

Fortunately, if there are no accidents, this time should be the last time she has to go back to Haizhou with her mother...

"...Xiao Nizi's skin is itchy again, isn't she? She's not stable at all when she's so old! You've only been here for a few days, and you're thinking about going back to Australia again?"

Xu Xiner turned her head angrily and gave her daughter a blank look, "...Let's take a closer look at the scenery on the ground in Haizhou! You won't be able to see it in the future!"

——Since her husband was assassinated and died, Xu Xiner, who became a widow, moved out of Haizhou. She lived with her daughter in China City (Perth), the capital of the Chinese Union in Australia, and only came back to live for a month or two every year.Anyway, as a puppet queen, she doesn't have any actual government affairs to deal with.

But even so, when she really wanted to give up this piece of "Emperor's Foundation", she still felt a little melancholy in her heart.

"...What's there to see in this crappy place? Besides, you won't let me run outside the palace, even on the beach, saying it's not safe!"

The little princess Jin Xuezhu curled her lips, "...the houses of the uncles (the rest of the saints) don't have anything to play with, and every time they go there, if they don't make it right, they will be caught by those strange things in their house (referring to the bound feet and the Ming Dynasty). The woman dressed as a lady) is pointing and poking, or being surrounded by a group of self-confessed sons and gentlemen, it really makes people feel depressed! The scenery on Huaguoshan Island is beautiful, but we grew up on the island After living for so many years, I have memorized the location of every stone and every tree, and I have already taken photos of the places that should be photographed. What else is there to see? Mom, you should hurry up and get married to your new father. Then we will go back to Australia as a family and go to the Great Barrier Reef for our honeymoon, diving and watching tropical fish, okay?"

"...You...how can you talk like that! It's really not big or small! Oh, it's all my fault for spoiling you..."

After hearing her daughter's nagging and complaining, Xu Xiner couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. After staying in Australia for a few years, her own daughter has really become a real Australian from head to toe. !Then she smiled helplessly—just as the little princess said, there really isn't anything worth seeing in the territory of the Great Holy Kingdom that is only the size of a cat's forehead under her name.

Looking out from the window of the palace, as long as you move your sight out of the iron fence of the courtyard, you will see a dilapidated and messy scene.In addition to a fairly impressive church in the distance, and a salt company run by "Australians" in the suburbs, which somewhat looks like a modern city, there are basically all kinds of grotesque slums and slums left in the entire city of Haizhou. The shanty town looks like a refugee camp at first glance...

There is no way, the frequent wars during the collapse of the Ming Dynasty have already reduced the former capital city of Haizhou to ruins.After the "Great Sage Kingdom" was established, the "Great Sages" refused to spend money to repair the dilapidated Haizhou Prefecture. Instead, they often dismantled the city bricks and beams of Haizhou Prefecture to build their own manor bastions, so Make the city even more dilapidated.Before the official annexation of Haizhou, the traversers were not interested in overstepping the boundaries and doing some infrastructure construction for the Great Sage Kingdom. They just concentrated on operating the Huaguoshan Concession located on overseas outlying islands. company only.

Now, apart from the imperial palace, the dock area and the salt industry company with their own generators, the entire city of Haizhou has no running water, no electricity, no street trees, no street parks, no playgrounds and libraries, and nothing that teenagers and girls like. Shopping plazas and movie theaters don’t even have cement roads or asphalt roads. Even the compacted cinder roads are only paved between the port terminal and the salt company, and the rest are unhardened dirt roads with potholes. The wind filled the sky with dust, and when it rained, it turned into a quagmire, exuding a disgusting smell.

Right now is the early summer season when the sea breeze is strong, and the fresh sea breeze blowing from the Yellow Sea can also dispel the dirty air permeating the city.In autumn and winter, the choking soot and unpleasant stench will pour in from the city, making it unbearable even in the palace.

Since the urban environment in the city is so dilapidated, the law and order situation is naturally in a mess. Even the police do not exist in the Great Holy Kingdom. The underground order is maintained entirely by the gangsters. It is basically similar to the modern Brazilian slums, "upper class" If those people broke in and wandered around casually, almost ten out of ten would be robbed and kidnapped as fat sheep.So how dare Xu Xiner agree with her daughter going out to the palace to go shopping?
"...Forget it, it seems that there is really nothing to miss in Haizhou. After your mother signs the gift of the country to the Huameng government later, she will also sell this imperial palace for a price, and she will stay here for the rest of her life In Australia, never come back!"

"Monkey King" Empress Xu Xiner sighed slightly melancholy, then smiled at her daughter, pointed to a row of hangers behind her and asked, "...Come on, help mom to see, what's in here?" One style of wedding dress looks more beautiful?  …”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the other side, at the wedding celebration venue where "Monkey King" got married, the auditorium of the Chinese League garrison base was already filled with lights and festoons.At this time, it was still early for the wedding, and most of the guests hadn't arrived yet.However, several local "great sages" from Haizhou came here early.

After 18 years have passed, today's "Six Great Sages" in Haizhou have alternated from old to new, and have been passed down to the second or even third generation.But during this period, the degree of penetration and control of the Haizhou Great Holy Kingdom by the traversers has also continued to deepen.To this day, the various leaders in Haizhou have already been gradually demobilized by the traversers, and have taken away the salt fields and most of the cultivated land in the form of "joint stock company".In addition to the nondescript "Great Sage" title on their heads, all they have left is their respective manors and shares in the salt company, plus a few shops and workshops.

Naturally, some people were not willing to do so, but their arms couldn't twist their thighs, so in the end they had to hold their noses and accept their fate.Among them, the highest jumping group once colluded with the "Mahayana Kingdom" in Hebei to cause rebellion in an attempt to "expel the Kun thieves", but they were crushed and slaughtered in the blink of an eye.Right now, among these "great sages" and their "cave masters" and "mountain masters", some of them are ambitious, and they are still using their relationship with the traversers to do some business, or in the new court of the Huameng. The location of the drill camp.And those mediocre people who have no ambitions simply rely on the inheritance of their fathers and grandparents to sit on the mountains and empty mountains, and become wealthy idlers.

And after today, the name of the Great Sage on their heads, which has long been reduced to a joke, will disappear together with the Great Holy Kingdom itself.

"...Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've been cleared up again. Could it be that you have some troubles with your business?"

At the round table in the corner of the venue, Mao Tired, the "Sage of Yishan" who had just returned from doing business in Japan, first exchanged greetings with old acquaintances such as Dai Shu, the Great Sage of Ventilation, Zhang Yonglong, the Great Sage of Exorcism, and lost a lot of weight for some reason. Looking at Huang Hainuo who seemed to be frowning, he asked curiously.

——This "Mountain-moving Great Sage" Maoli, whose real name is Maoli, because he has two distinctive cat beards and a round and fat face like a cat's face, is called Master Mao by the idlers in the market, so he Call the cat tired.As time passed, people almost forgot his real name.

I saw Mr. Mao Tired, the great sage of Yishan, talking so slowly, while reaching out to lift the Australian Linglong pot (transparent glass teapot) on the table, and poured a full cup of black tea into the teacup in front of the great sage of Pingtian Huang Hainuo. Then he added another glass to himself.

"...Oh, this...Brother Maoti, it's really hard to say! I can't say it, I can't say it!"

Although Huang Hainuo, the great sage of peace, took the teacup, he still hesitated and refused to tell the truth. However, he couldn't hold back the next thing, Dai Shu, the great sage of ventilation, pierced his old background with one sentence, "...what else can I say? What happened? Naturally, the grape trellis in our Bull Demon King’s house fell down again!”

(The Great Sage Pingtian is the Bull Demon King in Journey to the West.)
"...That's right, brother Maoti, you came back a step late, and you didn't see the scene where Lao Huang was raided by his wife the other morning! Hey, our Bull Demon King, but with two cute Persian Hu Ji was running around the city shirtless together, and was chased three streets by the Iron Fan Princess with a whip! That scene was really... Hehe, I don’t know how Lao Huang later knelt down for several hours The washboard survived this disaster!"

Sitting on the other side, Zhang Yonglong, the great sage of exorcising gods, was also grinning, ignoring the blushing face of Huang Hainuo, the great sage of peace, and described the scandal of this guy to Mao Tired. The state is already a household name and commonplace.The reason why this "Grand Sage of Ping Tian" Huang Hainuo is so depressed, and he endures the roar of the Lion in the River East twice in three days, is because his title of "Great Sage of Ping Tian" and his manor property are obtained from his father-in-law and master. It was inherited from there, but it just can't change the licentious and lustful disposition, always thinking that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.

And his wife Hu Guangyan, before rebelling with her father-in-law, was a quack girl who ran horses and sold her clothes. Knowing nothing about virtue and the like, she is called "Princess Iron Fan".

Huang Hainuo was originally an orphan and apprentice adopted by his father-in-law, but he was beaten up by Hu Guangyan, a junior sister, since he was a child. How can he be tough in front of his wife after marriage?Therefore, "Princess Iron Fan beats the Bull Demon King violently" has become the most talked about street scene among Haizhou folks.

"...Hey, brother Huang, it's not the first time you were caught by your wife while raising a woman outside. Why do you still put your foreign house in Fucheng?"

After listening to the cause and effect, Maoti couldn't help laughing, "...there is only such a small place in Haizhou Prefecture, and there is a little bit of turmoil and gossip. How can I hide it from someone who cares? Isn't this waiting to be copied? Brother Huang? Wouldn't you set up a small manor in the countryside with a golden house to hide your beauty?"

"...Well, to be honest, I have also bought this outhouse in the countryside. It's a pity that after only one month, it was raided by some gang of horse thieves from the Huai River at night, killed and looted it, and burned it to nothing. The two West Lake boat girls who spent a lot of money to buy also disappeared..."

The Great Sage of Pingtian, Huang Hainuo, said with a wry smile, "... No matter how chaotic the city is, there is still some order. Outside, it's really the law of the jungle."

Hearing this, all the Great Saints were also silent.As a very small semi-colonial regime, Haizhou Dasheng Kingdom's effective control range has never exceeded the range of twenty miles from the coastline.Just a few feet away from the city wall is the lawless purgatory on earth... As a large area of ​​cultivated land was abandoned and turned into a grassland, on both sides of the Huaihe River in the hinterland of China, gangs of horse thieves and herds of wild horses appeared like Mongolian cavalry...

However, if compared with the ground in eastern Henan and northern Anhui further west, even the northern Jiangsu area near Haizhou is already insufficient and more than inferior.Especially in the Kaifeng area in eastern Henan, since the Qing army attacked Kaifeng 20 years ago, the Yellow River embankment has not been blocked, forming a yellow flood area that stretches for thousands of miles. Dozens of once densely populated areas In prefectures and counties, there are only bones and bones left, and there are no people living everywhere.If Cao Cao was reborn in this era, looking at the appearance of his hometown, I am afraid that he would have to cry again and again, "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for a thousand miles".

The two Huaihe Rivers to the south were once the main battlefield where the Qing army and the Dashun army fought for many years. During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, many prosperous cities were dotted along the canal. Now, with the destruction of the war and the silting of the canal, all of them have long since disappeared.In particular, Yangzhou, the most prosperous and affluent city, was set on fire by rebels during the infighting of the Qing army. So far, it is still a piece of scorched ruins, and the famous "Yangzhou thin horse" has since been broken.

As for Shandong in the north, the cities were also reduced to ruins, the canals were completely silted up, and the once fertile cultivated land became a lush elm forest. The military rations are enough to feed the hunger, and it is known as the "Yuyuan Army" to the outside world.

——Although it sounds very interesting, you must know that when the elm forest stretching for hundreds of miles in the west of Shandong Province was still arable land, it could support millions of people... But today, who I don't know where all the people who disappeared have gone...

"...Hehe, brother Huang is really suffering. I think that after today's demolition of the feudal clan is completed and the land is restored, there will be Australian soldiers stationed ashore to clean up the law and order, and Haizhou will be more peaceful on the ground. I am going to Japan this time. I just bought some nuns and came back, so I might as well give you two to quench the fire!"

After a while, Mao Tired forced a smile, and changed the topic to talk about what he had seen in Japan not long ago—it turned out that the Maori family who believed in Catholicism had fought fiercely for more than 20 years, and had killed two generations of family governors successively before finally being in Japan. This spring crushed the desperate resistance of Buddhism and the wealthy Kanto clan, attacked the former master Tokugawa family, and beheaded all his families, young and old. In the church, monks and nuns were dragged by ropes to the market for sale.Maoti saw that the price was cheap, so he bought more than [-] young nuns to test the water...

"...So, the whole of Japan has now become the kingdom of God? Oh, I really thank Almighty God..."

Daoist Crow, the great sage of Huntian, who was originally sitting by the side without saying a word, couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he made the sign of the cross repeatedly on his chest.

——This so-called crow Taoist, of course, is not a monster from a crow, or even a Taoist.Just because he is dark and thin, he has been nicknamed a crow since he was a child.Later, he converted to Catholicism somehow, put on a black robe and became a priest, and tried to preach in Haizhou, so he was called Taoist Crow by the unknown natives.However, although this "Crow Taoist" has a pious faith, his communication skills are very poor. Coupled with a hoarse throat that looks like a broken gong, there are very few idlers who are willing to listen to his preaching, and his missionary career in Haizhou has never been successful. open the game.

However, although his missionary career was quite unsatisfactory, his personal fortune was quite good.Eight years ago, the "Mahayana Kingdom" in Hebei, which once expanded to Shandong, sent assassins to infiltrate Haizhou in order to annex the "Great Sage Kingdom" that came from the same line as the Wenxiang Sect. hands.As a result, because of the betrayal of his confidants, the former Great Sage Huntian led to the breach of his own fortress, and the whole family was killed, and no one was spared.But Taoist Crow, who was originally just a bastard of the collateral lineage, ascended to heaven in one step afterward, inheriting the title of Great Sage Huntian and the rest of his family property.The overjoyed Taoist Crow immediately thanked God first, and then spent most of his inheritance to build a luxurious cathedral in Haizhou.

However, although the magnificent Haizhou Cathedral has been built, Taoist Wu Ya's missionary career has still not improved, which made him frown all day long.

For such a nagging fanatic, the rest of the great saints obviously had nothing in common with him. They just reluctantly echoed a few words and then switched to other topics. Where do people go, whether to stay in Haizhou to settle down and start a business, or to move to Lingnan, Taiwan and other peaceful lands that are far away from the flames of war... Just as everyone was expressing their opinions and talking, Mao Tired suddenly noticed something wrong , "...Eh? Why does it seem like someone is missing? Where is our great sage who overwhelmed the sea?"

"... You mean the waves are turning the sky? He is waiting for the chief from Australia on the pier!" Huang Hainuo, the great sage of peace, replied with a curl of his lips.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the same time, on the wharf of Xingang, Haizhou, the third president of the Huameng, Mr. Qi Jianjun, who was born in North America, who came to watch the ceremony, was smiling happily with the groom official Liu Dao Hai repeatedly congratulated the director of the Botanical Garden in the capital of the Chinese League, and was flattered for a while. Compared with a big man like the chairman, there is a world of difference. Being able to be interviewed once is enough to make Director Liu Dao horrified for half a month.

After dismissing the groom who came to greet him, Chairman Qi Jianjun turned around and saw groups of Chinese League Marines wearing light blue summer combat uniforms stepping off the transport ship one after another on the springboard. Then the whole team gathered in batches in the empty field by the pier, and the sound of various whistles, passwords, and whistles continued.Marshal Huangshi, the Minister of National Defense who also came to observe the ceremony and make inspections, drove slowly in a jeep.

"...Marshal Huang, how does the situation in Haizhou look like?" Chairman Qi Jianjun asked with a smile as he watched Huangshi jump out of the jeep.

"...The hydrological conditions in Haizhou's bay are not bad, better than those of Lianyungang in later generations. However, the port facilities are far from adequate, and the land roads are also in poor condition. It will take at least four months of urgent work and expansion to support [-] people. The supply requirements of the above regularized army for long-term operations."

Marshal Huang Shi, the Minister of National Defense of the Chinese Alliance, who was already graying at the temples, raised his hand to give a military salute to Chairman Qi Jianjun, and replied lightly, "...Of course, with our army's engineering and transportation capabilities, it is not a problem at all to overcome the above-mentioned troubles. The real question is, has the government really made up its mind? This time it is not a short and quick surgical strike, but a real conquest and governance, and even a quagmire-like security war!"

——In the past few years, in view of the fact that its own side is vast and sparsely populated, although its material strength is strong, its human resources are stretched.In short, it is to use the method of sea invasion, from the Red River Estuary and the Beibu Gulf at the southernmost point of China's traditional territory, to the Liaodong Peninsula and Vladivostok at the northernmost point, to establish a system that includes direct rule and indirect control. The isolation zone in the entire coastal area of ​​China controls all the foreign trade and communication channels in the mainland of China in the hands of the traversers, preventing other Western overseas forces from intervening in the war situation in China and causing unplanned changes.

Although due to various reasons, there are still two small sections of the coastline of Tianjinwei and Songjiangfu (Shanghai), which have not been controlled by the Huameng, but after controlling the Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula and Changshan Islands, any unapproved Western ships Neither can enter the Bohai Sea, and Tianjin Port has lost its function.And Chongming Island, north of Songjiang Mansion, also stationed the Huameng Fleet, making this outlet controlled by the Qing court also trapped in a cage.

In addition, the Chinese Alliance Army was satisfied with occupying the coast and avoiding excessive penetration into the densely populated inland areas of China in order to save troops and reduce the pressure on public security. And frequent natural disasters, "squeeze out" a large number of refugees from the land of China's motherland, for the recruitment and absorption of the traversers who occupy the coast, and use them to reclaim and develop many desolate areas around the world.

Generally speaking, this is a rather cold and rational strategy. The Huameng, based overseas, has acquired more than 2000 million Chinese immigrants. , making the total population of the Chinese League reach 4000 million, completely getting rid of the dilemma of having an empty territory but a lack of population in the past.But behind all this "war wealth" is the devastating catastrophe of China's local society.

Behind every Chinese immigrant who went abroad and rushed to the vast world, there were at least two or three people who died of hunger and weapons.

——Just like the rapid formation and expansion of the Yellow River Delta in Dongying City, Shandong Province, it will inevitably mean serious soil erosion in the upper reaches.

Obviously, in view of the long growth and replacement cycle of human beings, this blood-sucking process cannot last for a long time.

But now, the previous strategy of only attracting manpower and not asking for land seems to have reached the time to completely stop and update the strategy...

"...Marshal, you should understand that as long as we still regard ourselves as Chinese and have a Chinese heart beating in our chests, then unless the actual situation really does not allow it, the battle of recovering the mainland of China and conquering the hometown of China, We must fight! Especially now that we have the capital to do so! 20 years ago, we had only 300 million people, while Ming Dynasty had 4000 million people. Technical advantages alone are not enough for us to make a small fortune , even if the vast interior of China is occupied, there are not enough grassroots cadres to carry out social reforms. Now, we have a population of 6000 million, but the population of the old Ming Dynasty has dropped to 20 to [-] million. During these [-] years, Huameng has also educated a team of grassroots civil servants with new knowledge, enough to undertake local governance and reform! Even if there are other fronts to restrain us, we can give it a go!

In addition, according to the assessment of the intelligence agencies, after more than 20 years of melee and famine, with the sharp decline in the population of mainland China and the large-scale desertion of the country's land, the war incentives and destructive energy contained in China's local society have almost reached the limit. exhausted.Since the collapse of Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty, the frequency and intensity of wars in various parts of China have dropped significantly, and we have been able to recruit fewer and fewer refugees. "

Chairman Qi Jianjun said, "...In other words, the land of China is no longer densely populated, but sparsely populated. Even if the princes from all walks of life want to continue fighting, they are already exhausted and have no soldiers and no pay. Since In this way, we can make up our minds to enter the battle.

The chaotic times in China have lasted for so many years. The princes and warlords in the Central Plains have gone through years of melee, famine and plague. Their military and financial resources have been weakened to the limit, and the people's hearts are not very supportive of them.However, we have opened up thousands of miles of fertile land in the Americas, Australia and Africa, and our strength is far from what it used to be.Even the feudal literati and bureaucrats who once dominated public opinion and public opinion and single-mindedly opposed us have been killed to the point of death after so many years of war, and they can no longer be disgusting.If such a good situation is not dared to fight, how long will it take to recover China? "

"...Well, as long as the Huameng Central Committee can reach a consensus and stick to it to the end, the rest of the technical issues are not troublesome."

After listening to Chairman Qi Jianjun's explanation, Marshal Huang Shi sighed and responded, "... To be honest, I also hope every day that I can restore the broken Chinese rivers and mountains to a unified one in my lifetime! Otherwise, there will always be something wrong. It feels like a ****..."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the pier. It turned out that a group of unkempt and ragged native men were dragged by the local Dasheng Kingdom "militiamen" with ropes and forcibly driven to the pier under the supervision of sticks and whips.Then the military doctors opened their mouths to check their teeth like animals, then pinched the muscles of their legs and arms, and slapped their legs and underarms with bamboo poles, forcing them to jump and roll.After completing these basic inspections, these strong men were driven to several different camps by category, and they were arranged to shave their heads, take a shower, eat and rest...

And behind this group of sloppy refugees, the local local snake in Haizhou, the "Sage Overturning the Sea" Chu Rizhou, was rubbing his hands and approaching Marshal Huangshi and Chairman Qi Jianjun with a flattering smile on his face, "...two chiefs, you request to recruit I have already collected all the strong coolies, so it should look okay, right?"

——Chu Richuan, the great sage who overwhelmed the sea, was nicknamed Lang Fantian.Once an outstanding graduate of the Hong Kong Naval Academy of Huameng, he was promoted to the highest rank of patrol captain.The reason why he has such a domineering nickname is not because he is so good at sailing and naval warfare, but because after he became the captain, he hid two Indian female slaves on the warship so that he could patrol the sea Afterwards, he was able to enjoy himself at any time, but he was found out by the discipline inspection department and caught as a model and was dismissed. The sailors on his ship were also punished for failing to report. A strict disciplinary investigation by the China League Navy led to the dismissal or demoting of more than 200 officers... Because of the death of this lecherous bastard, hundreds of people in the navy were in bad luck. The name "Tian Tian" spread like wildfire and became famous far and wide.

Next, after being dismissed by the navy, Chu Ri returned to Haizhou in disgrace, and inherited his father's title of "Sage Overturning the Sea", as well as his manor and property in Haizhou.But despite this setback, Chu Richuan's yearning for fame and official career remained undiminished, and he always thought about finding an official position in the Huameng government.It's a pity that this guy's "waves and sky" deeds are too notorious. For so many years, no yamen dared to hire him.

Just when the "Great Sage Overturning the Sea" Chu Rizhou was digging around, trying to recover but had nowhere to go, he suddenly heard that the Huameng was going to take advantage of the opportunity of the marriage of the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" Empress Xu Xiner to officially revoke the "Great Sage" Even the Minister of National Defense and the President of the country came to observe the ceremony... So the "Sage Overturning the Sea" Chu Rizhou suddenly became excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and took the initiative to join in and want to serve. Serve all the people coming from the central government.From recruiting strong men, surveying the terrain, and requisitioning land, no matter what, he took the initiative to move forward and was extremely active.On the other hand, Chairman Qi Jianjun is also planning to set up a typical benchmark of "Thousands of Gold City Horse Bone" in order to attract local powerful factions in the next mainland strategy.

In this way, Chairman Qi Jianjun maintained a kind and smiling expression, and listened to the "Sage Overturning the Sea" Chu Rizhou rambling about his credit, while raising his eyebrows and winking at Marshal Huangshi.Although Huang Shi didn't like this guy who couldn't control his lower body, he had to obey the political requirements, sighed and paced up, and said in a slightly cold tone, "...Comrade Chu Richuan, thank you very much for your support of our army. With your help, the country will always remember your contribution. Then, out of consideration for future wars in mainland China, the Ministry of National Defense intends to set up a military labor company in Haizhou. I wonder if you are interested in being the first general manager? Well, if you take up the post now, I can immediately award you the rank of temporary captain, and if you perform well in the future, you will have the opportunity to transfer to the regular engineering unit and obtain the official rank..."
