Chapter 181: This Year China Produces Abundant Emperors (7)
In short, no matter how strange the system is and how hilarious the name is, Haizhou's "Great Sage Country" was officially born on Huaguo Mountain after all.
However, for the traversers, the victory of the "Great Holy Country" in Haizhou was not the end of trouble, but only the beginning of trouble.
Because the vassal forces that Huameng currently has in Chinese mainland are not only the remnants of the Smelling Fragrance Sect in Haizhou.
For example, the leader of the Su League, who led the Taihu Lake Twelve Serial Dock Water Bandit Group, couldn't help but feel itchy after learning the news of the establishment of the "Great Holy Country" and the Wenxiang Sect's Holy Gu as the emperor, so he also sent a messenger to Hangzhou Phoenix Villa with a generous gift, and said in a roundabout way that although his power and merits are not good, at least they will not be worse than the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect in Haizhou.
In addition, there are some more established vassal forces, after learning the news of the Great Holy Kingdom of Haizhou, they have also started to call themselves lonely.
After the establishment of the Global Chinese Traveler Alliance, it not only united the various time-traveler groups scattered around the world in the late Ming Dynasty, making most of the time-travelers in this time and space integrated, but also took over their original vassal forces.
Subjects on other continents, such as the Araukan Indian city-states in South America, which are dependent on the East Coast Republics, and several black emirates in Africa, can be left alone. However, the Hainan Island Lingao Crossing Group, to be precise, is the "bright-skinned" General Huangshi of the Ming Dynasty Fujian General Army, in order to support his own self-respect in the past few years, and the dozens of rebel armies that have been raised in the mountainous areas of western Fujian and southern Jiangxi cannot be completely ignored.
At present, the actual control area of the Huameng in Fujian is confined to the coast, the vast inland mountainous areas of western Fujian, and the mountainous areas of southern Gan further west, all of which have been divided among various peasant rebel armies with the collapse of the Ming Empire. These rebel armies, because they were separated by mountains, did not belong to each other, and were scattered and scattered, each based on a small territory in a county or a few townships, and then divided the land as king. Among them, there are naturally many arrogant guys who dare to shout and make enemies of the Huameng, but there are also many people who are familiar with current affairs and have been on the line with General Huangshi very early, and some have even established long-term cooperative relations for six or seven years.
Now I heard that the "Ao-Song Imperial Court" arranged for Haizhou's Wenxiang Sect Holy Gu to ascend the throne as the emperor, these "Qinxiang Mountain King" were surprised that the emperor could also be canonized, and they also shouted unceremoniously, asking for a bowl of water to be leveled Anyway, we have also shed blood and sold our lives for your Ao-Song Dynasty, why are you so kind to those newcomers of the Wenxiang Sect in Haizhou, and actually get them an "empire"? ! That's why we demand equal treatment!!
For such an outrageous request, Commander Huangshi is naturally very distressed, but if he insists on favoring one over the other for no reason, it seems that it is not the way to employ people, after all, the hearts of people in this world have never suffered from inequality. So, after hesitating for a while, Huang Shi sent a report to Huameng, meaning whether to allocate some reward materials, or issue some medals or honorary titles to appease these old fellows a little. The result of the discussion at the headquarters of the Huameng was to send a bunch of blank emperor canonization documents, plus a box full of unengraved jade seals: Anyway, the land of China is now flooded with emperors, and whoever of you wants to be the emperor can be called the emperor! We'll take care of it all!
Of course, Huameng will not take care of trivial matters such as the emperor ceremony and the division of hundreds of officials, and you can just toss it around!
As a result, after obtaining the approval of the headquarters of the Huameng, the mountainous areas of western Fujian and southern Jiangxi were like wild dogs, and more than 20 large and small "empires" appeared in an instant, and there were even countries with the same names...... Among them, there are "pro-emperors" who have gone through the "regular procedures" and have been legally canonized by the Huameng, but more are the grass-headed kings who follow the trend and establish themselves as emperors: before, these bandit leaders or cottage owners felt that their strength was too small, and they were embarrassed to be called emperors, for fear of being laughed at. Who knew that the lame old fur dog on the opposite mountain had actually become the emperor, wouldn't he be a big step shorter than this old rival in terms of name? I don't have to say! Hurry up and open a flowing water seat to organize a ceremony to become the emperor! He can be the emperor, why can't I be the emperor!
Next, when Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of the "Great Meng Kingdom", took his "Meng Army" from Nanchang to continue the southern expedition, he was surprised to usher in a coalition army led by five emperors, and as a result, the two sides started a vigorous "Battle of the Six Emperors" in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, and the battle was extremely tragic. In the end, the three emperors of the coalition army were killed, the southern Gan coalition army was defeated and collapsed, and the "Meng army" from the north also suffered heavy losses and had to retreat on its own initiative.

However, the outbreak of the emperor in the bandits' nests in the mountainous areas of western Fujian and southern Jiangxi is not the end of the trend of Chongzhen's seven years of being the emperor.
In fact, with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the unprecedented chaos in China's political situation, there are countless heroes everywhere on the land of China. And as the number of emperors in China proliferates like malignant tumors, more and more reckless heroes are beginning to think about it. For example, under the rule of the Great Zhou State in Luoyang, Henan, there was a major rebellion: there was a cottage surnamed Liu in the local Funiu Mountains, and the head of several cottages seemed to be extremely bored, and after a long talk, he decided to establish an empire, so he elected the oldest old man in the family as the emperor, and declared that the mountain and hundreds of acres of nearby hillside land were the territory of the Han Empire, and then slaughtered two goats and put two firecrackers to "reward the ministers", and a guy Hula came out of the mountain hundreds of princes, generals, and scholars. The worst also got a fourth-grade master.
In fact, this matter was not a big deal, because of the long-term war and drought, there were many bandits in Henan in recent years, and similar to the semi-independent forces such as Liujiazhai in Funiu Mountain, which was based on the family, was everywhere, and most of the government's requirements for them were to collect some taxes and finish the matter, and although these guys were called emperors and officials, there was no "court matter" to deal with them. So it wasn't until a month later that a certain county magistrate occasionally heard a relative in the countryside talk about it as a joke, and the magistrate didn't think it was a big deal at the time, and casually relayed it to his colleagues as a joke, and finally fell into the ears of the county magistrate.
But the county magistrate knew the political seriousness of this matter, and when he heard it, he was frightened: a "Han Empire" actually emerged under his rule, is this worth it? Immediately, while issuing an urgent official document and delivering it to the city in the starry night, he organized a "large army" of more than 50 people to go up the mountain to crusade, and a few days later, he successfully arrested dozens of emperors, princes, dukes, and Shangshu of the "Han Empire", and immediately escorted them to Luoyang to offer prisoners.
And His Majesty Wu Xiang, the Great Zhou Emperor in Luoyang City, was first taken aback by an official document with layers of polish and code: When did a "Great Han Empire" pop up next to him? ! Then I was depressed and found that it was just a group of old farmers playing around with nothing to do......
