Extra chapter 1, "The Great Chaos at the End of the Ming Dynasty" copy of the Great Demonic Kingdom Chapter [The Marriage of the Great Sage] (Part 1) In the early summer of 1653 AD, Huaibei, Haizhou (Lianyungang) Since the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the chaos in the world, Haizhou has been It has been eighteen years since it became the territory of the so-called "Great Holy Kingdom". If you like to play and watch, come to Lewen - Of course, in places other than Haizhou, it is generally renamed and derogatorily called the "Great Demonic Country". Because, even among the many demons and bizarre separatist regimes in the Central Plains today, the "Great Holy Kingdom" of Haizhou can definitely be regarded as the most magical, or the most magical one: this "country" is actually based on "Journey to the West" "Remember" to carry out political power structure! When the Ming Dynasty collapsed, the official army of the Ming Dynasty, the Wenxiang Rebellion Army and the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty fought against each other on the Huaihe River. In the end, the Qing army won. Even the leader of the Wenxiang Religion, Wang Ke, was defeated and captured for a time before he escaped. He fled back to Hebei and established the "Mahayana Kingdom" in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty. At the same time, another group of Wenxiang Sect remnants stayed in Lianghuai, supported "Holy Aunt" Xu Xiner as the leader, and retreated to Haizhou to continue resisting. Because they promptly sold themselves to the "Australian" travelers who were entrenched on the Huaguo Mountain outside Haizhou Port, and the place they were located in was quite remote and desolate, they finally managed to survive, and gradually formed a group that nominally respected Xu Xin'er as the queen. In fact, it is a mini-subordinate country that is fully dependent on the traveler. When the time traveler began to establish a system for this dependent country, they found that no matter from any angle, this country was too small, with a population of only tens of thousands, which was only equivalent to a 100,000 stone vassal state in Japan's Warring States Period. Moreover, the regime was in disarray. The nominal queen, Xu Xiner, was just a lolita who was left as a hostage to the travelers on Huaguo Mountain. She had no real power at all. The following six leaders each have a bunch of minions, and they are roughly similar in power. Not only are the six dissatisfied with each other, they even lack control over their own subordinates and cannot control them at all. As a result, the "Great Holy Kingdom" of Haizhou, which was inherently deficient, had no choice but to admit the reality and adopt a feudal system similar to the feudal system of Japan's Warring States Period daimyo. It just so happens that the founding place of the "Great Holy Kingdom" happens 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 unexpectedly used the Monkey King's routine to enfeoff the six leaders of the Wenxiang Cult in Haizhou. The names of the Great Sage Pingtian (Bull Demon King), the Great Sage Fuhai, the Great Sage Huntian, the Great Sage Yishan, the Great Sage Ventilation, and the Great Sage Expelling Gods are all on an equal footing with each other, regardless of their status. And Queen Xu Xiner, who is resident in Huaguo Mountain, naturally inherited Sun Wukong's title of "Monkey King" Then under these great sages, they also sealed a lot of people according to the system of "Journey to the West" Cave master, mountain master, altar master and village master. ¡ª¡ªAlthough it sounds very magical and terrifying, in the final analysis, it is just a matter of changing the positions of family elders, ministers, ground servants, etc. in the Japanese samurai vassal country with titles that are full of "Journey to the West". At most In addition, the feudal lord has been deprived of power all year round and has never been able to govern personally. However, in the eyes of the feudal literati of the Ming Dynasty, such a strange and evil regime was still unacceptable, not to mention that these guys were puppets supported by the "Australian thieves", so they were unceremoniously derogatory. It is a great demonic country. At that time, there were nefarious scholars who wrote countless disclosure posts, giving the leaders of the "Great Holy Kingdom" derogatory titles such as monster head, devil head, witch, and witch. Next, after the news about the establishment of the "Great Holy Kingdom" spread to the inland provinces through countless hands, a lot of stories about the "Haizhou Demon" evolved through rumors and rumors, combined with traditional folk stories of gods and monsters. Horrible legends about "the country" - for example, the demon leader of the Haizhou Demon Kingdom likes to use human skin to make flags and drums, and human bones to make magic weapons. He practices various evil methods all day long in order to live forever. For this reason, he needs to kill a large number of people and absorb their souls to sacrifice to the evil god. ; And the witches in the Haeju Demon Kingdom bathe in the blood of boys and girls every day in order to stay young forever. Haizhou can almost be described as the lion and camel country where demons rule 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 eliminate demons" was not to be beaten with sticks in the street. To die is to be sent to jail to eat. However, even though the above-mentioned ridiculous rumors are mostly fabricated. But it is true to say that the "Great Sages" of Haizhou are not good people - in order to make profits and gain favor, the "Great Sages" of Haizhou have long been engaged in the business of helping travelers to recruit immigrants. But in today's troubled times of killing and killing, most of the people Haizhou can get are not from legitimate origins, but refugees who have been captured and escorted like slaves by various warlords and bandits. Behind every strong man who was trafficked to Haizhou, there were countless burned towns and massacred villages. Because those who have traveled through the vast and empty territories of Australia, America and Africa have an insatiable thirst for Chinese immigrants, and they have never hesitated to pay high prices to introduce immigrants. On the contrary, in the land of Huaihei and Huaihe, where there have been wars, fires, and famines for many years, the people are living in dire straits to the extreme, and the situation is getting worse every year. In order to survive and grow, the bandits from all walks of life who were short of money and food naturally became more and more interested in selling slaves to Haizhou. As a result, the scale of the slave trade business in Haizhou became larger and larger, and they died after being taken to Haizhou. There are more and more skeletons of old and weak people on the way to Haizhou. Later, due to the smearing and spreading of rumors by feudal literati and officials, it became a terrifying legend that the demon leaders of the "Haizhou Demon Kingdom" send minions to arrest people for blood sacrifice every year. Of course, in the war-torn times when princes were rising and soldiers and horses were everywhere, the Great Holy Kingdom of Haizhou (the Great Demonic Kingdom) itself had been targeted by enemy forces many times. As for the performance of the great saints of the Haizhou Great Holy Kingdom with only a small number of soldiers in the wild battlefield, it seems that they can only be described as unsightly. However, although they were very busy in field battles, their thick legs were really strong. Whenever they encountered a strong enemy, they would abandon the countryside and retreat to the strong forts built in advance on the seaside to defend themselves for a long time. The various military leaders in the Central Plains do not have fleets and cannot completely surround these port fortresses with their own docks. However, the Haizhou defenders were able to rely on sea routes to obtain supplies from the travelers, and in the end they overwhelmed the enemy's logistics and had to retreat. After going back and forth, the surrounding military leaders all understood that Haizhou was a hard nut to crack with a backer. If they were not sure of winning, it would be better to do business honestly. The great saints also understood their own weight, and no longer dared to dream of any grandiose undertakings. Instead, they were content with their respective seaside corners, and even half of Haizhou Prefecture, which was far away from the coastline, The great saints of the Great Holy Kingdom gave up on their own initiative. "In this way, relying on holding on to its thighs and being aware of current affairs, this small country finally survived in the whirlpool of the troubled times in the Central Plains. Then, eighteen long years passed in a blink of an eye. As a temporary transitional regime that indirectly ruled the control areas of mainland China under the condition of insufficient strength, the Global Chinese Travelers Alliance, the "Great Holy Kingdom" of Haizhou finally ended its The historical mission of Guozuo 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, the extremely strange "Great Holy Kingdom" of Haizhou in the late Ming Dynasty was calm and peaceful in an unusually peaceful and even festive way. And safely towards the end ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù Haizhou Fucheng, the Great Holy Kingdom Palace Although it is a royal palace, as a mini "county-level country", Haizhou's palace cannot be very big. From the appearance, it is just an ordinary two-story Western villa. It is just surrounded by a lawn and an iron fence, and there are no elaborately arranged gardens, flowers, springs and ponds. It is only decorated with the simplest shrubs and green spaces. At first glance, it looks almost the same as the middle-class community housing in the United States in later generations. At this moment, the owner of this miniature palace, the contemporary successor to the name of Sun Wukong, the "Monkey King" Empress Xu Xiner, who was scolded by countless gentry as a she-monkey temptress, was wearing a plain cheongsam and sitting upright. In front of the dressing table, three maids took turns waiting on her, dressing up in front of the mirror. With the passage of eighteen years, this little queen who was once teased and bullied by the big sister of the time traveler has now become a woman as elegant as a lady, as charming and plump as a ripe fruit. Beautiful woman. It's just that she still failed to become a qualified monarch - the small political power of Haizhou was always trapped in internal and external difficulties and struggled to survive, which really did not allow her to truly grasp any rights. However, apart from that, she has basically lived a relatively stable life for the past half of her life. Moreover, today, Xu Xiner is in an especially happy mood. Because today is the day when she gets marriedwell, to be precise, it is the day when she remarries as a widow. As early as fourteen years ago, Xu Xiner, who was still a young girl at the time, had a marriage, and her husband was sent to be her husband on orders. The time-traveling teacher of the tutor, because the teacher and the students have been alone for a long time, they actually went to bed to teach Fortunately, although it was a "marriage", the result was basically satisfactory. However, something unexpected happened. Eight years ago, in order to annex the "Great Holy Kingdom" of Hebei's "Mahayana Kingdom", which also came from the Wenxiang Sect, it sent a large number of assassins to sneak into Haizhou in an attempt to assassinate the Queen. Xu Xiner herself was safe and sound, but her husband was unfortunately killed, and the queen became a widow. Fortunately, due to the continuous cultural penetration of the Global Chinese Travelers Alliance for many years, things like widowhood and chastity arches have become less popular among the natives of the Ming Dynasty who were the "Australianized" natives. A few years later, the widow XuMy son met the second spring of his life in Chinatown (Perth), the capital of Australia. Because of his love for flowers and plants, he met the director of the Australian Capital Botanic Garden, a middle-aged time traveler and widower who lost his wife. , and quickly became familiar with each other. After several more years of love marathon, it was finally time to achieve success. "Mom! Haven't you dressed up yet? I've even packed my suitcase to go back to Australia!" With the above loud words, a tall girl in a blue dress came rushing in. She came in, followed by a middle-aged maid with a wry smile on her face - she was Jin Xuezhu, the only daughter of the "Great Sage" Queen Xu Xiner and the little princess of the "Great Sage Kingdom". It seems that thanks to the excellent genes of the traveler's father, the sufficient nutrition of the "Australian diet", and the appropriate exercise in the "new school life", the underage Princess Jin Xuezhu is far taller than her mother. robust. Moreover, Jin Xuezhu has been learning Taekwondo in an Australian school club since she was a child. Among her peers, she is said to be the invincible fighter in the whole school, so that she got an inexplicable nickname "Sun Wufan" (Those who can understand this joke are all Retro animation fans who have watched "Dragon Ball") According to the aesthetics of the feudal literati of the Ming Dynasty who liked flat-chested lolita and deformed feet, and emphasized "weak willows support the wind" and "step by step, lotuses grow", this guy is a tall horse. The big little princess Jin Xuezhu is simply an unsightly creature. But in Australia, the home base of time travellers, Jin Xuezhu, a sporty and energetic girl with a model figure, is a popular figure in the school. Her beautiful photos often appear on the cover of school magazines and she is a fan in school and in society. countless. So every time he went back to Haizhou with his mother, the boss was always reluctant. He couldn't stay for a few days before complaining that the place was too boring. Fortunately, if nothing else happens, this should be the last time she has to follow her mother back to Haizhou "Little girl is itchy again, isn't she? She's not stable at all at such an old age! She just came here. Are you thinking about going back to Australia in a few days? "Xu Xin'er turned her head and rolled her eyes at her daughter, "take a closer look at the scenery on the ground in Haizhou! You won't be able to see it anymore!" -Since her husband was assassinated! After her death, Xu Xiner, who became a widow, moved away from Haizhou and lived with her daughter in Chinatown (Perth), the capital of the Chinese League, in Australia all year round. She only came back to live for a month or two every year at most. Anyway, as a puppet queen, she has no actual government affairs to deal with. But despite this, when she really wanted to give up this "imperial inheritance", she still felt a little melancholy in her heart. "What's there to see in this shabby place? Besides, you won't let me go outside the palace, even on the beach, saying it's not safe!" Little Princess Jin Xuezhu curled her lips, "how many of you do? There is not much to do in the homes of my uncles and uncles (the other great sages). Every time I go there, I will be poked at by those weird women in their house (meaning they have bound feet and are dressed like Ming Dynasty ladies). It¡¯s really depressing to be surrounded by a bunch of self-indulgent young men to show their courtesy! The scenery on Huaguoshan Island is pretty good, but we have lived on the island for so many years, and even every stone and tree is missing. The positions of the trees are already memorized, and the places where we should take pictures have already been taken. What else is there to see? Mom, you should marry your new father as soon as possible, and then our family will go back to Australia to spend time on the Great Barrier Reef. Would you like to go diving and see tropical fish on your honeymoon? " "You how can you talk like that! Oh, it's all my fault for spoiling you" After hearing my daughter's nagging. After complaining so much, Xu Xiner couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry. After staying in Australia for several years, her daughter has really turned into a real Australian from head to toe, with no respect for others! Then she smiled helplessly - just as the little princess said, in the Great Holy Kingdom under her name, which is only the size of a cat's forehead, there is really nothing worth seeing. Looking out from the window of the palace, as soon as you move your sight beyond the iron fence of the courtyard, you will see a dilapidated and dirty scene. Apart from a rather impressive church in the distance and a salt company run by "Australians" in the suburbs, which look more or less like a modern city, the entire city of Haizhou is basically left with all kinds of weird slums and slums. At first glance, the shanty town looks like a refugee camp No way, the frequent wars when the Ming Dynasty collapsed had already reduced the former Haizhou capital to ruins. After the "Great Sage Kingdom" was established, the "Great Sages" refused to spend money to repair the dilapidated Haizhou City. Instead, they often dismantled the city bricks and beams of Haizhou City and used them to build their own manors and bastions. Making the city look even more dilapidated. Before the official annexation of Haizhou, the travelers had no interest in overstepping their boundaries and building any infrastructure for the Great Holy Kingdom. They just concentrated on running the business.The Huaguoshan Concession, which is located on an overseas island, is at most a salt company jointly established with the "Great Sages". Nowadays, except for the palace, the dock area and the salt company that have their own generators, there is no running water, no electricity, no street trees and street parks, no playgrounds and libraries in the entire Haizhou city, and there is no place that teenagers and girls like. There are not even cement roads or asphalt roads in shopping malls and movie theaters. Even the compacted cinder road is only paved from the port terminal to the salt company. The rest are unhardened dirt roads with pits. The wind filled the sky with dust, and when it rained it turned into a quagmire, exuding a disgusting stench. It is the early summer season when the sea breeze is strong. The fresh sea breeze blowing from the Yellow Sea can also dispel the dirty air that permeates the city. In autumn and winter, the choking coal smoke and unpleasant stench will flow back from the city, making it unbearable even in the palace. Since the urban environment in the city is so dilapidated, the public security situation is naturally in a mess. Even the police do not exist in the Holy Kingdom. They rely entirely on gangs to maintain underground order. It is basically similar to the modern Brazilian slums, "upper class society" If someone breaks in and wanders around, they will almost 10% be robbed and kidnapped as fat sheep. So how could Xu Xiner dare to agree to her daughter leaving the palace and walking on the street? "That's all. It seems that there is really nothing to miss in Haizhou. After your mother signs the gift of the country to the Chinese League government later, she will also sell the palace at a price, and she will stay here for the rest of her life. In Australia, don't come back again!" "Quitian Monkey King" Queen Xu Xiner sighed slightly melancholy, then smiled at her daughter, pointed to the row of clothes hangers behind her and asked, "Come here Come on, help mom, which style of wedding dress looks more beautiful here" ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù On the other side, at the wedding ceremony venue where the "Monkey King" got married, the auditorium of the Chinese League Garrison Base was already filled with lights and colorful decorations. It was still early for the wedding, and most of the guests had not arrived yet. However, several local "Great Sages" from Haizhou came over early. After eighteen years have passed, today's "Six Great Sages" of Haizhou have also gradually changed from old to new, and have been passed down to the second or even third generation. However, during this period, the degree of penetration and control of the Great Holy Kingdom of Haizhou by the travelers was also deepening. Today, the various leaders in Haizhou have been gradually dismissed by the time travelers, and the salt fields and most of the cultivated land have been taken away in the form of "joint stock companies". Apart from the nondescript "Great Sage" title above their heads, they only have their respective manors and the stocks of the salt company, plus a few shops and workshops. In this regard, there are naturally some people who are not very willing. Among them, the group of people who jumped the highest once colluded with the "Mahayana Kingdom" in Hebei to cause rebellion in an attempt to "drive out the bandits", but they were crushed and slaughtered in the blink of an eye. At present, among these "Great Sages" and their "cave masters" and "mountain masters", a few of them are still using their relationships with travelers to do business, or in the new court of the Chinese League. The location of the camp. But those mediocre people who have no ambitions simply rely on their father's inheritance to live in vain and become wealthy idlers. And after today, the name of the Great Saint above them, which has long been reduced to a joke, will also disappear together with the Great Holy Kingdom itself. "Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have lost money again. Could it be that there is something bothering you in business?" At the round table in the corner of the venue, Mao Ti, the "Great Sage of Moving Mountains" who had just returned from doing business in Japan, first asked Tong Tong The great sage Dai Shu, the great sage Zhang Yonglong and other old acquaintances exchanged greetings, and then curiously asked Huang Hainuo, who had lost a lot of weight for some reason and looked sad. ¡ª¡ªThe real name of Mao Ti, the "Great Sage who Moves Mountains", is Mao Ti. Because he has two very distinctive cat whiskers and a round and chubby face that looks like a cat, he is called Lord Cat by the people in the market. Call the cat tired. As time went by, his real name was almost forgotten. I saw Mr. Mao Ti, the Great Sage of Yishan, saying this slowly, while reaching out to lift the Australian exquisite 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 cup for himself. "Oh, thisBrother Mao Ti, it's really hard to explain in words! I can't say it, I can't say it!" Although Pingtian Great Sage Huang Hainuo took the tea cup, he still hesitated and refused to tell the truth. However, next, Dai Shu, the Great Sage of Ventilation, who couldn't stand it, exposed his old background with one sentence, "What other unexplainable thing could it be? 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 Mao Ti, you came back a step late and didn't see the scene the day before yesterday when Lao Huang was ransacked by his wife! , our Bull Demon King was running around the city shirtless with two cute Persian Orchids, and was chased through three streets by the Iron Fan Princess with a whip! That scene was really Hehe, I don't know. How did Lao Huang lie down and kneel on the washboard for several hours to survive this disaster!" Zhang Yonglong, the great sage sitting on the other side, also laughed, ignoring the great sage Huang Hainuo. With a flushed face, he described this guy's scandal to Mao Ti with embarrassment and jealousy - in fact, almost similar things are already well-known and commonplace in Haizhou. The reason why Huang Hainuo, the "Great Sage of Pingtian", is so weak and suffers from the roar of the lion from the east of the river every three days is because his title of "Great Sage of Pingtian" and his estate property are all obtained from his father-in-law and master. I inherited it from there, but I couldn't change my lustful and lustful nature. I always thought that domestic flowers were not as fragrant as wild flowers. And his wife Hu Guangyan, before she rebelled with her father-in-law, she was a charlatan. She not only practiced martial arts well and was good at all kinds of strange weapons, she was also prolific in killing people and had a domineering and fierce temperament. She was a tomboy, what kind of woman? She doesn't know anything about virtue, so she is known as "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, from childhood to adulthood. How can he be so tough in front of his wife after marriage? Therefore, "Princess Iron Fan Beats the Bull Demon King" has become the most talked about street scene in Haizhou among the people. "Hey, Brother Huang, this is not the first time that your wife has caught you raising a woman outside. Why do you still keep your home in the city?" After hearing the cause and effect, Mao Tiu couldn't help but smile, "Hai There is just such a place in the capital city, and there is a little bit of disturbance and gossip. How can you hide it from the people who care about it? Isn¡¯t this waiting to be raided? Couldn¡¯t Brother Huang build a small manor in the countryside to hide his beauty? Sigh, to be honest, I have also purchased this foreign house in the countryside. Unfortunately, only a month later, it was attacked by an unknown group of horse thieves in Huaishang at night, and it was looted and burned to the ground. The two West Lake boat girls who were bought with a lot of money have disappeared" Huang Hainuo, the great sage of Pingtian, said with a bitter smile, " No matter how chaotic the city is, there is still some order outside. " Hearing this, all the great sages also fell silent. As a very aggressive small semi-colonial regime, the effective control range of the Great Holy Kingdom of Haizhou has never exceeded twenty miles from the coastline. Just outside the city wall, there is a lawless hell on earth As large tracts of cultivated land were abandoned and turned into grasslands, on both sides of the Huaihe River in the hinterland of China, horse thieves gangs and wild horses like Mongolian cavalry actually appeared However, if we follow more Compared with the ground in eastern Henan and northern Anhui in the west, even the northern Jiangsu area near Haizhou is already inadequate but more than adequate. Especially in the Kaifeng area in eastern Henan, since the Qing army flooded Kaifeng and demolished the Yellow River embankment 20 years ago, it has not yet been blocked, forming a thousands-mile-long yellow flood area with dozens of once densely populated areas. Now all the prefectures and counties are left with only bones and bones, and every place is deserted. If Cao Cao were reborn in this era, looking at the appearance of his hometown, he would probably cry out again with tears in his eyes: "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for a thousand miles." The Lianghuai River in the south was once the main battlefield where the Qing army and the Dashun army fought for many years. Many prosperous cities dotted along the canal during the Ming Dynasty's prosperity have now all disappeared due to the destruction of the war and the siltation of the canal. In particular, Yangzhou, the most prosperous and prosperous city, was burned to the ground by rioters during the internal strife of the Qing army. During this period, it was still a charred ruin, and the famous "Yangzhou thin horse" was no longer inherited. As for Shandong in the north, the cities were also reduced to ruins, the canals were completely silted up, and the once fertile farmland had turned into lush elm forests. There was even a peasant army of tens of thousands of people who took over the elm forests and became king, relying solely on elm money to make a living. The military rations were enough to satisfy their hunger, and they were known as the "Yuyuan Army" to the outside world. ¡ª¡ªAlthough it sounds very interesting, you must know that when the elm forest stretching for hundreds of miles in western Shandong Province was still cultivated land, it could feed millions of people But today, who I can't tell where all the disappeared people have gone "Haha, Brother Huang is really suffering. I think that after the vassal reduction is completed today and the land is restored, there will be Australian soldiers stationed ashore to carry out purges." There will be peace on the ground in Haizhou. I just bought some nuns from Japan this time, so I might as well give you two to calm the fire!" After a while, Mao Tiu forced a smile and changed the subject to talk about him. What I saw in Japan not long ago - it turns out that the Maori family who believe in Catholicism have been fighting fiercelyAfter more than ten years of fighting and killing two generations of family governors, this spring finally crushed the desperate resistance of the Buddhist and Kanto wealthy families, attacked and destroyed the old masters of the Tokugawa family, and killed all the family members, old and young. Nowadays, Japan is going through a massive counterattack, destroying temples and destroying Buddhism. Not only have they converted a large number of Buddhist temples into churches, but they are also dragging monks and nuns with ropes to sell in the market. Seeing that the price was cheap, Mao Tiu bought more than twenty young nuns to try the water "So, the whole of Japan has now become the country of God? Oh, I am really grateful to the Almighty God" Originally The Great Sage Huntian Crow Taoist who was sitting aside without saying a word couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this and he made the sign of the cross on his chest. ¡ª¡ªThis so-called crow Taoist is certainly not a crow-turned-spirit monster, or even a Taoist. Just because he is dark and thin, he has been nicknamed Crow since he was a child. Later, he converted to Catholicism for some reason, put on a black robe and became a priest. He tried to preach in Haizhou, so he was called Crow Taoist by the uninformed natives. However, although this "Crow Taoist" is devout in his faith, his communication skills are very poor. Coupled with a hoarse throat that looks like a broken gong, there are only a few people who are willing to listen to his preaching, and his missionary career in Haizhou has never been successful. Open the situation. However, although his missionary career was not going well, his personal financial fortune was quite good. Eight years ago, in order to annex the "Great Holy Kingdom" of the same lineage as the Wenxiang Sect, the "Mahayana Kingdom" of Hebei, which once expanded to Shandong, sent assassins to sneak into Haizhou. Not only did they attempt to assassinate the Queen, but they also moved against several other great saints. Handed. As a result, the former Great Sage Huntian was betrayed by his close men, causing his own fortress to be breached, and everyone in the family was killed, no one was spared. However, Taoist Crow, who was originally just a concubine, suddenly rose to heaven after the incident and inherited the name of Great Sage Huntian and the remaining family property. The overjoyed Taoist Crow immediately thanked God, and then spent a lot of money, using most of the inheritance to build a luxurious cathedral in Haizhou. However, although the magnificent Haizhou Cathedral was built, Taoist Crow's missionary career still showed no improvement, making him frown all day long. For such a blabbering fanatic believer, the other great saints obviously had nothing in common with him. They just reluctantly agreed with him and then turned to other topics. For example, after the removal of the Great Holy Kingdom, their family Where do people go? Should they continue to stay in Haizhou and settle down, or move to peaceful places such as Lingnan and Taiwan that are further away from the war Just as everyone was expressing their opinions and getting excited, Mao Tiu suddenly noticed something was wrong. , "Eh? Why does it seem that there is someone missing? Where is our great sage, the sea-turning sea-turning sea?" "You mean the waves turn the sky? He is waiting on the pier for the chief minister from Australia!" Pingtian great sage Huang Hai Nuo curled his lips and replied. ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù At the same time, on the dock of Haizhou New Port , Mr. Qi Jianjun, the third national chairman of the Chinese League, who came specially to watch the ceremony, was smiling and congratulating Liu Daohei, the groom who was about to marry the "Monkey King" Queen Xu Xiner. The director of the Capital Botanical Garden was flattered for a moment - although as the director of the botanical garden of Chinatown, the capital of the Chinese League, Mr. Liu Daohei was not only an official in the individual system, but compared with a big shot like the President of the country, he was really a world away. In other words, being able to be interviewed once was enough to make Principal Liu Daohai excited for half a month. After sending away the groom who came to greet him, Chairman Qi Jianjun turned around and saw groups of Chinese Marine Corps soldiers wearing light blue summer combat uniforms stepping off the transport ship one after another on the springboard. Then the whole team was assembled in batches in the open space beside the pier, with various whistles, passwords, and whistles sounding continuously. Marshal Huang Shi, Minister of Defense, who also came to watch the ceremony and inspect, slowly drove over in a jeep. ¡°¡Marshal Huang, how does the situation look like here in Haizhou?¡± Chairman Qi Jianjun asked with a smile as he watched Huang Shi jump out of the jeep. "The hydrological conditions of the bay in Haizhou are not bad, better than Lianyungang in later generations. However, the port facilities are far from adequate, and the land roads are in poor condition. It will take at least four months of rush expansion to support 100,000 people. The above-mentioned supply needs of the regularized army for long-term operations." Marshal Huang Shi, the Minister of Defense of the Chinese League, who had gray hair on his temples, raised his hand and gave a military salute to Chairman Qi Jianjun, and replied calmly, "of course, with our army's engineering capabilities and capabilities. Transportation capacity is not a problem at all to overcome the above problems. The real question is, is the government really determined? This time it is not a short and quick surgical strike, but actual conquest and governance. It¡¯s a quagmire of security war!¡± - In the past few years, the Chinese League has been fighting in China in view of the actual situation that its territory is vast and sparsely populated, and although its material strength is strong, its human resources are stretched thin.The overall strategy adopted on the field has always been "sealing operations along the coastline of mainland China." In short, it is to use the method of maritime invasion, from the Red River Estuary and Beibu Gulf in the southernmost part of China's traditional territory, to the Liaodong Peninsula and Vladivostok in the northernmost part, using a combination of direct rule and indirect control to establish an encompassing The entire isolation zone along China's coastal areas puts all mainland China's foreign trade and communication channels in the hands of travelers, preventing other Western overseas forces from intervening in China's war situation and causing unplanned variables. Although due to various reasons, the two small sections of coastline of Tianjinwei and Songjiangfu (Shanghai) were not controlled by the Chinese League, after controlling the Shandong Peninsula, Liaodong Peninsula and Changshan Islands, any unauthorized Western ships Neither can enter the Bohai Sea, and Tianjin Port has lost its role. The Chinese Alliance fleet was also stationed on Chongming Island to the north of Songjiang Prefecture, making this seaport controlled by the Qing government also trapped in a cage. In addition, the Chinese League Army is content to occupy the coast and avoid going too deep into the densely populated inland areas of China in order to save troops and reduce the pressure on public security. At the same time, it provokes the internal army lords and princes to fight with each other, so that it can pass the destruction of the war. and frequent natural disasters, "squeezing out" a large number of refugees from the land of the Chinese motherland, so that they can be recruited and absorbed by the travelers who are entrenched along the coast, and used to reclaim and develop many desolate areas around the world. In general, this is a quite cold and rational strategy, which has allowed the Chinese League based overseas to gain more than 20 million Chinese immigrants. After these years of reproduction, as well as immigrants from other ethnic groups and naturalized people, Supplementary, bringing the total population of the Chinese League to 40 million, completely getting rid of the past dilemma of having an empty territory but lack of population. But behind all this "war wealth" lies the devastating catastrophe of China's local society. ¡°Behind every Chinese immigrant who leaves the country and heads for the vast world, there are at least two or three people who die of hunger and weapons. ¡ª¡ªJust 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, given that the human growth and replacement cycle is so long, this blood-sucking process cannot be sustained for a long time. But now, the previous strategy that only attracted manpower and did not ask 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, There is still a Chinese heart in my heart, so unless the actual situation really does not allow it, the battle to regain mainland China and conquer the Chinese hometown will definitely be fought, especially now that we have the capital to do so! ! Twenty years ago, we only had a population of three million, but Ming Dynasty had 200 million people. Technical advantages alone are not enough to allow us to be small and powerful. Even if we occupy the vast mainland of China, we do not have enough grassroots cadres to carry out social work. Reform. Now, we have a population of 40 million, but the population of the Ming Dynasty has dropped to 50 or 60 million. In these two decades, Huameng has also educated a group of people with new knowledge and enough to take on the local responsibility. Governance and reform of the grassroots civil servants! Even if there are constraints from other fronts, we can give it a go! In addition, according to the assessment of the intelligence agencies, after more than two decades of continuous fighting and famine, with the population of mainland China With the rapid decrease of the population and the large-scale waste of land across the country, the war incentives and destructive energy contained in China's local society have been almost exhausted. Since the collapse of Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty, the frequency and intensity of wars in various parts of China have increased significantly. The number of refugees we can recruit is getting smaller and smaller," Chairman Qi Jianjun said, "In other words, the land of China is no longer densely populated, but is vast and sparsely populated. If we continue to fight, we will be exhausted and have no troops and no pay. In this case, we can make up our minds to enter the war. The troubled times in China have lasted for so many years. The princes and warlords in the Central Plains have experienced years of melee, famine and war. The plague has weakened the military and financial resources to the limit, and the people's support is not very strong. 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 those who once controlled public opinion and people's hearts were bent on opposing us. After so many years of war, the feudal literati have been almost killed, and they are no longer disgusting. If we dare not fight in such a good situation, how long will it take to regain China? " " Sigh, as long as the Central Committee of the Chinese League can reach a consensus and stick to it, the rest of the technical issues are not a problem." After hearing Chairman Qi Jianjun's explanation, Marshal Huang Shi sighed and responded, "To be honest, I am too. Every day, I look forward to reunifying the broken rivers and mountains of China with my own hands in my lifetime! Otherwise, I always feel like I have become a ****" At this moment, there was a crowd outside the dock.There was a commotion, and it turned out to be a group of unkempt and ragged indigenous men. Under the supervision of sticks and whips, they were dragged by strings by the local "militiamen" of the Great Holy Kingdom and forcibly driven to the dock. Then the military doctors opened their mouths like animals to check their teeth, then pinched the muscles in their legs and arms, and beat their legs and armpits with bamboo poles, forcing them to perform some jumping and rolling movements. After completing these basic inspections, these strong men were driven into several different camps according to categories, and they were arranged to have their heads shaved, bathed, and had meals and rest And behind this group of sloppy refugees, there was a local local snake in Haizhou, "The Great Sage of Overturning the Sea" "Chu Richuan, rubbing his hands and approaching Marshal Huangshi and Chairman Qi Jianjun with a smile on his face, said, "Two chiefs, I have already gathered the young coolies you requested. It should be okay, right?" ¡ª¡ªThis sea-turning sage, Chu Richuan, is nicknamed Lang Fantian. He was once an outstanding graduate of the Chinese Alliance Hong Kong Naval School, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander and patrol captain. The reason why he has such a domineering nickname is not because he is good at sailing and naval warfare, but because after he became the captain, he went crazy and hid two Indian slave women on the warship to facilitate patrols at sea. After that, he could enjoy himself at any time, but was found out by the disciplinary inspection department and was dismissed as a model. The sailors on his ship were also punished for not reporting the knowledge, and even his immediate superiors were embarrassed. In addition, it also caused A strict disciplinary investigation by the Allied Navy led to the dismissal or demotion of more than 200 officers Because of this lecherous bastard's attempt to commit suicide, hundreds of people in the navy suffered great misfortune, and the "Chu Ri Ship" The name "The Waves Turn the Sky" spread like wildfire and became famous far and wide. Next, after being dismissed from the navy, Chu Ri had to return to Haizhou in despair, inheriting his father's title of "Sea-Overturning Sage", 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 getting an official position in the Chinese League government. It's a pity that this guy's "promiscuous" deeds are so notorious that no yamen dared to hire him over the years. Just when Chu Richuan, the "Great Sage of Overturning the Sea", was trying to make a comeback but had no way to get in, he suddenly heard that the Chinese League was planning to take advantage of the opportunity of the marriage of the "Great Sage of Monkey King", Queen Xu Xin'er, to officially cancel the "Great Sage". The country had returned to its native land, and even the Minister of Defense and the President of the country came to observe the ceremony So Chu Richuan, the "Great Sage of Overturning the Sea", suddenly became excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and took the initiative to come forward and want to serve. I will serve all the people from the central government front and back. From recruiting young men, surveying the terrain, and requisitioning land, he took the initiative to do everything and was extremely proactive. On the other hand, Chairman Qi Jianjun is also preparing to set up a typical benchmark of "horse bones worth a thousand pieces of gold" in order to recruit local powerful factions in the upcoming mainland strategy. In this way, Chairman Qi Jianjun, while maintaining a kind and smiling expression, listened to Chu Richuan, the "sea-turning great sage", ramble on about his achievements on the surface, 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 no choice but to obey the political requirements. He sighed and walked up, saying in a slightly cold tone, "Comrade Chu Richuan, thank you very much for your support of our army. The country will always remember your contribution. Then, out of consideration for the future war in mainland China, the Ministry of National Defense plans to establish a military labor company in Haizhou. I wonder if you are interested in serving as the first general manager? Well, if you take office now, I can immediately grant you the temporary rank of captain. If you perform well in the future, you will have the opportunity to transfer to the regular engineering force and obtain a formal rank"
