On June 1, 1891, the Ming Dynasty submitted a declaration of war to the United States, and the Ming Dynasty entered a state of war with the United States. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The news spread all over the world at the speed of light, the Ming Dynasty was boiling, and the newspapers reported it loudly, but the voice of support was not as consistent as the last time it was during the French war, many people expressed their puzzlement, looking at the problem with the mentality of the Chinese, thinking that the Americans would not let us go to their country, we would not go, and we would not let the Americans come to our Daming, would it be possible to fight with them, this is not too domineering, the same as the foreigners.

Some relevant experts, either spontaneously or behind the government's back-the-scenes organizations, publicized and explained in the newspapers, telling the people that in the diplomatic treaty between the Ming Dynasty and the United States, the Ming people have the right to do business and live in the United States, which is the power of the Ming people, and the United States has violated this right, so the Ming Dynasty wants to go to war, which is to protect the power of the people, not to be hegemonic or belligerent.

But the war with France, which had just ended, had greatly satisfied the vanity of the people, and they were generally not interested in the war with the white countries that broke out again after four years.

Internationally, it is different, Daming chose the United States, in the heart of the white country, and the Ming people are completely different, before the Ming defeated France, there has been a yellow peril of public opinion, the Ming Dynasty broke out with a white country again, and it is the initiative to attack, which can't help but make the white supremacy of the white psychology produce a certain kind of rabbit death fox sad feelings, psychologically with the United States on the side.

Even the Western governments were extremely surprised, they didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty really went to war, and the diplomatic activities carried out in various countries before seemed to be not pressure, but really making diplomatic preparations.

For a time, all countries were highly concerned and negotiated with Ming diplomats one after another, questioning the purpose of the Ming war.

Other countries are just understanding, Britain is really a little flustered, another war beyond control, the British Empire's control over the international order is getting weaker and weaker.

The British Prime Minister urgently met with Minister Daming and asked Daming to explain his combat intentions and express Britain's attitude.

Britain expressed a high degree of concern about the war between the Ming Dynasty and the United States, and they demanded that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the United States not threaten the territorial security of the British Empire in the Americas, that is, the security of Canada.

Da Ming said that Da Ming only fought for dignity and did not have any ambitions for the territory of the Americas. Even if the United States is defeated, it will not seek to cede land.

Britain was relieved that as long as the Ming Dynasty did not intend to establish a military presence in North America, Britain would not care about the Ming Dynasty and the United States, two emerging powers, fighting each other and weakening each other, which was a good stability for the global order of the British Empire.

Germany, which had always wanted to get an Asian base from the Ming Dynasty, expressed their neutrality after being rejected by the Ming Dynasty. However, France was suddenly restless, and they proposed that the Ming would return Madagascar taken from France to France, apparently France intended to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's involvement in another war to recover the colonies taken by the Ming Dynasty.

Unsurprisingly, the Russians once again expressed their interest in Huludao, saying that they would not oppose the Ming military campaign in the Americas if they supported all their actions in Huludao. Obviously, the Russians wanted to take the opportunity to reopen Huludao and rebuild a military base here.

Regarding the demands of France and Russia, Daming's attitude is to negotiate, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed. Talking and talking, the battle is over, because in the Ming military plan, this should be a short deterrent war, just like the British and French forces occupied the Old Summer Palace, through the war to deter the United States, forcing the United States to accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, wars that require the cooperation of opponents often do not go well, and the Ming Dynasty has also made a plan for a long-term war, so it is necessary to expand the scale of the war. We should not just be confined to the west coast of the Americas, but should march into the interior of the United States, and even the east coast of the Americas, and find ways to strike at the key points in the eastern part of the United States.

However, in various deductions, it is believed that the possibility of a large-scale war is unlikely, and the Ming military and diplomatic departments generally believe that as long as the Ming can take the west coast of the United States, where the Ming population is concentrated, in the shortest possible time, the Americans will accept the conditions proposed by the Ming in exchange for peace when they see that they cannot recover the lost territory through military affairs.

That's why Ming's fleet chose to go to Alaska first, and then head south along the coast of the Americas to attack Washington, Oregon, and California.

As for the army, it is all the more necessary to act after the navy has succeeded in order to achieve the effect of concealment, otherwise it will be impossible to conceal anyone from a large-scale military movement of the army.

Now the situation looks very good, the naval fleet has passed through the transit in Japan, ten cruisers have been transferred to the Americas, and the whole world is still speculating whether the Ming will declare war, and even Hurd doubts the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards war.

After the declaration of war, the Ming fleet immediately went south from Juno, the capital of Alaska, and only needed to advance about 1,000 kilometers to enter the coast near Seattle, Washington State, USA, and more than 100 kilometers to the south, which is Portland, the largest river port in Oregon, these two cities, Seattle has 42,000 people, and Portland has 46,000 people.

Despite this, it is because the recent gold rush in these two places has attracted a large number of people, not even 10,000 a few years ago. It should be said that it is not difficult to seize such two cities, although the Americans built quite a lot of batteries in the northwest area before demarcating the border with Canada because of disputes with Canada, and it is not easy to attack them purely through the navy, but if there are tens of thousands of landing troops, it is not difficult, and Daming happens to have such a force scattered in two places, and it has landed more than ten years ago.

The rest of the Taiping Army, all moved to the Americas by the Ming Dynasty, in Portland and Seattle are more than 10,000 people, is the largest ethnic group in the local area, and the remaining ethnic groups, although most of them are white, but the white people are also divided into Italians, Spaniards, Germans and French, the mainstream group of whites is the English-speaking Irish, but the Italians and other immigrants may not be of the same mind as the Irish, so this battle is not difficult to fight.

The most critical is California, California has the largest population, as high as 2.3 million people, and the statistics of the United States in history had a population of 1.2 million in California in 1890, which is more than one million more than in history.

With half of the population, the Chinese armed forces in California are expected to take the whole of California in the shortest possible time, and then cut off the Pacific Railroad, so that the Sierra Nevada Mountains will become an impregnable wall separating the east and west of the United States, and the US Federal Army will not be able to enter California, so there will only be one way to negotiate.

The person in charge of organizing the uprising in California was absolutely assured by Zhu Jinglun, the loyal king of the Taiping Army, Li Xiucheng.

On June 3, the third day of the Ming declaration of war on the United States, before the Americans could shake their senses from the shock, the Ming fleet had already appeared on the coast of Washington State, and was about to enter the Juan de Fuca Strait on the south side of Vancouver Island, and Seattle was located in the bay in the strait.

Three Daming cruisers, carrying a large amount of military supplies, entered the bay, and the cliff fortress on the south side of the strait did not launch any attack, so that the Daming fleet passed safely, and when the navy walked by, the sailors on the deck waved a flag with the word "Wang" written on it, which was the person from the rest of Wang Haiyang.

After 30 years of hard fighting, some of the Taiping Army veterans are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, although most of the veterans of the Taiping Army have died on the battlefield, among the young generation who came to the Americas alive, there are also veterans who were born and died.

Wang Haiyang's subordinates sneaked into the vicinity of the fortress last night and captured the fortress in the early morning, and many American soldiers died in their sleep in a daze.

When the Ming fleet safely entered the port of Seattle, the entire port, and even the entire important place of the city, were occupied by the Wang Hai Ministry.

They have lived here for more than ten years, they are very familiar with every plant and tree here, and they have been preparing for several months, and neither the US Federal Army nor the militia can stop them under the surprise attack, and the militia has not even had time to organize, and the city's city hall, police station, bank and other institutions have been attacked.

But the city is far from being occupied, because there are crowds of people running in chaos everywhere, and they are all blindly directionless, running around, trying to escape from the city, but they have to turn back in front of the main roads guarded by the Chinese, and the city is in chaos at this time.

The situation in the dock port area is much better, after the Ming fleet docks, there are even porters waiting to unload, and the porters are of course Chinese laborers.

Wang Haiyang himself is also here, he came here half a year, he was originally in the Ming Dynasty as a duke, intending to enjoy his wealth, but the emperor suddenly asked him to come here, let him gather the old department, and wait for orders.

He didn't want to listen to Zhu Jinglun, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, and his children, wives and concubines were all in Daming.

So he had to come here, where his old subordinates were housed, and he gathered more than 2,000 old brothers who were still willing to recognize him, these old brothers did not live well in the United States, but they did not starve to death, except for a few who had bad habits, most of them could save a few dollars in their hands.

Wang Haiyang will not have any effect on buying them with money, and he looks down on people too much, what Wang Haiyang brought to them was a promise, promising to let them return to China and let them return to their hometowns.

More than ten years have passed, many people are old, and even died, rather than burying their bones in a foreign land like others, it is better to fight to the death while they can still fight, so that they can bury their bones in the ground after death, so as not to become a lonely ghost in a foreign land, Wang Haiyang told everyone, not only everyone can go back, even those brothers who died before, but also bring them back for burial.

So everyone is willing to follow Wang Haiyang desperately.

They prepared half a year in advance, secretly bought guns from the Americans, stockpiled ammunition, and then secretly lurked in their strongholds in the countryside. When the order came, the Americans were not prepared that night, and they touched all the important places and took all the military and political institutions, including the forts and the city government.

"Your emperor should be satisfied this time, right? I hope he keeps his promise, then my three hundred brothers will not die in vain! ”

As soon as he stepped on the dock, Feng Qingyu, the chief soldier of the fleet, heard Wang Haiyang's complaints.

"The prince laughed, the prince has made a great contribution, and he doesn't want any reward."

Wang Haiyang snorted coldly: "I don't dare to ask for a reward, just want to save my life." ”

Feng Qingyu said with a smile: "Then you have to ask the prince to work hard for a while." These arms are used to recruit troops, and I believe that the prince can pull up a team. Please take people to control the railway as much as possible, and control as far as you can. Bridges and tunnels must be controlled, and those that cannot be controlled will be blown up. ”

Feng Qingyu arranged a follow-up plan for Wang Haiyang, and he brought enough arms to arm an integrated division, and believed that with these arms, plus the remaining more than 100,000 Taiping troops scattered in the state, Wang Haiyang could quickly organize a powerful armed force.

The same thing soon happened in Portland, where the Chinese also revolted, taking over the city hall, the post office, the police station, the telegraph office, and the fort battery, which were more tightly controlled than here in Seattle.

In Portland, Yang Fuqing was in charge of the command, and he had been here longer than Wang Haiyang, because he had come ten years ago, and he had not been happy in Daming, so he decided to come to the Americas to find the old brother, and he planned to die in the Americas.

Compared with Wang Haiyang and Yang Fuqing, Li Xiucheng, who is sitting in California, can use more power, because his old subordinates are all concentrated in the mountains of Nevada, but he has a problem here.

Instead of occupying San Francisco and other ports, they were surrounded by 5,000 U.S. troops and militia in the mountains of Nevada.

On the third day of the declaration of war, the news of the great uprising of the Chinese in the United States also spread all over the world, once again causing an uproar in world public opinion.

I have never heard of such a war, using the country's expatriates to arm themselves on the spot and occupy the territory of the other side.

Public opinion in white countries simply does not know how to describe this practice, and it always has no good feelings in their hearts.

After receiving the news, Hurd immediately asked to see Zhu Jinglun, he believed that this practice would not only put the Chinese in the Americas into a dangerous situation, but also make the whole world no longer trust Chinese immigrants, but any country where there are Chinese immigrants in their own country or in their colonies will definitely take strict precautions against the Chinese in the future.

This move would completely bankrupt the credit of the Ming Dynasty in the world.

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "I know, this doesn't quite conform to the rules of white people. But I'm afraid the rules will have to be changed in the future. And have you ever thought about how the anti-Chinese forces in the United States will treat the Chinese after we declare war on the United States, even if the Chinese in the United States are all in peace? ”

"They should protect innocent expatriates. ”

Zhu Jinglun did not speak.

He didn't believe that the U.S. government would protect the Chinese diaspora, the Germans during World War I were subjected to all kinds of intimidation, which was okay, and the Japanese immigrants during World War II were all imprisoned in concentration camps by the Americans.

If the Chinese are not armed, it is better for them to stay in the United States unarmed and imprisoned in concentration camps, and I am afraid that there will be countless racist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan in the United States that will take up arms and cause massacres.

This is the reason why Zhu Jinglun would rather risk overseas Chinese and immigrants to lose the trust of the country where they live, but also to arm the civilians, mainly so that they can protect themselves, and the results of the war are only secondary.
