Huai'an Hexia Ancient Town
Two thousand five hundred years ago
Wu Wangfu almost gave an order
The ancient ditch connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River was excavated
At the end of the junction with the Huai River
The northwest corner of the ancient city of Huai'an
The ancient town came into being under the river
Privileged location

It appeared only during the Ming and Qing dynasties
There are 67 scholars, 123 people, and more than 140 tribute students
It was called "the first Jinshi of Huaxia" town by the students at that time
Ming Jiajing for twenty years
Shen Kun, who was supposed to serve as the overseer of the Guozi sacrificial wine in Nanjing
Received the news of his mother's death
Yili resigned and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety for his mother
Who knows the period
Huai'an was fought in all directions, and the officers and men were repeatedly defeated
Shen Kun resolutely sold his property
Nearly a thousand strong men were summoned to form a champion army
Practice by yourself, create your own weapons
Less than a year
He defeated all the surrounding Yoko
Since then, the reputation of the champion soldier has spread in all directions
The main hall of the Zhuangyuan Mansion is placed
A red gown and a blue gown
It was the emperor who gave it to reward Shen Kun
The fight against the Wokou has been meritorious
The martial arts arena of the Zhuangyuan Mansion was Shen Kun back then
A place to practice the formation of champions
Wu Chengen, as his friend and military master, also offered advice
There are rumors
Shen Kun is the prototype of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West"
Shen Kun was wrongfully imprisoned and died
Wu Chengen wants to rehabilitate his friend
He wrote Shen Kun into "Journey to the West"
Incarnate as the Monkey King to slay demons and remove demons, punish treachery and eliminate evil
It's interesting
Read Sun Wukong and Shen Kun in the dialect of Huai'an
Sounds pretty much the same
