In front of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Zhu Mian met his old superior, Chen Jigong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's like nearly two years!

Time seemed to have stopped at Chen Jigong's body, but it passed twice as much on Zhu Li's face.

The age difference between the two is obvious, but now Chen Jigong still looks like he is in his early teens, and Zhu Li, who has experienced wind and rain and stormy waves, has aged more than ten years compared to him, and is already over thirty years old, touching the threshold of middle age.

When Zhu Li sailed from the north to Shanghai, Chen Jigong happened to be in Fujian to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the second phase of the dock of the Fuzhou Shipyard, and he is now slowly fading out of the large system of the China Trading Corporation and turning into shipbuilding.

Chen Jigong, who had been wandering for several years before the final positioning of his life, finally gave up the trading company and chose shipbuilding. Because his eldest brother is in the securities economic market, they themselves deliberately staggered. Even Chen Ming didn't care at all. Of course, the Second Bureau of Overseas Exploration has always been in his hands, and has not continued to stay in the Jiangnan trade system with Chen Jigong's escape.

Therefore, Zhu Min is still his subordinate, and he is still a subordinate who has made great contributions to Chen Jigong.

"Your Majesty has been seen."

The two stepped into the palace gate in an orderly manner, and walked all the way into a side hall of the Qianqing Palace under the guidance of the guards. Chen Ming was standing in the center of the main hall, with a huge armillary sphere in front of him and an equally huge globe on the other side.

Throw down your sleeves and let the two heroes come forward, looking at the globe that has been frozen, and the armillary sphere that is slowly moving, the former Honolulu to the mainland of Chinese mainland The sea map is clear at a glance.

"Honolulu, good name, fit." It's providence in the dark, Zhu Lian's name for the Hawaiian Islands is the same as what the people of the previous time and space called it. But the difference is that the name of this plane will never go down the Hawaiian Islands again.

That bullshit Honolulu is gone forever.

"Zhu Li, the dimension of this place is similar to that of Wanwan, is there any difference in climate between the two?"

Zhu Lian also measured and positioned Honolulu, and dimensionally placed this archipelago on a parallel line with the bay, and the straight line to the east was not the United States in later generations, but Mexico. But its geographical location is really right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

When there was a direct connection between China and the American continent, the importance of this place was undeniable.

"Back to Your Majesty, the temperature here is relatively high, the climate is sunny all year round, and the climate is drier than Wanwan." Seriously, Zhu Li thinks that Honolulu is a better place to live than Wanwan. At least personally, he prefers the climate of Honolulu.

"How many indigenous people are there?" Chen Ming's eyes unconsciously released a murderous aura.

The Hawaiian Islands he remembered were very small, less than half the size of the bay, and had a small perennial population, just over a million people. And most of these people are outsiders, and the local indigenous people have not been slaughtered much during the colonization of Hawaii, and it can be inferred from the population of the 21st century that the native Hawaiian population should be very small.

It was a question that came to his mind very suddenly. Previously, Zhu's report only mentioned the sandalwood and fertile land, fur and fishery resources of Honolulu. For the indigenous population, such an inhabited indigenous island with low civilization, Zhu Ting did not pay attention to it at all.

But now that we really have to talk about their population, I think back to what I saw and heard in Honolulu, and then imagine the islands there, Zhu Li's face has become a little unsightly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are 120,000 natives there."

Beneath the Honolulu archipelago lies a chain of scattered islands that continue southward to meet the vast cluster of small islands east of Timor. The equilibrium of the latter is roughly the same as that of the northern part of Nanmingzhou, and has been largely probed by the Second and Third Overseas Exploration Bureaus, because there are charts drawn by Europeans, and many of the islands above have already been passed by Europeans.

To describe these islands in one word, 'fertile land' is a must. The population is correspondingly large.

Chen Ming was taken aback, he summoned Chen Jigong and Zhu Li today, more to praise them. Now it's just a few small talks before getting to the point, and Zhu Lian actually released a big bomb. "One hundred and twenty thousand? So many? ”

"Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Second Bureau, the population of this generation of small islands is generally dense." Chen Jigong can affirm this fact, although the figure of 200,000 people in Honolulu also surprised him, but Chen Jigong is very aware of those small islands in the Pacific Ocean. It's true that those small islands are small, and many of them are uninhabited, but as long as there are people, there are a lot of people.

This sudden situation made Chen Ming's mood a mess, he had thought about sending troops to directly raze Hawaii, but now that he looks at it, it is really bad, very bad.

As it stands, the conservative route between China and Honolulu has been perfected. Although the road is a little longer. But Chen Ming can ensure that the warship is completely sailed to Honolulu, and for the ignorant natives there who have not even developed the iron civilization, as long as the army arrives, it will naturally be an absolute government.

If there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people in the whole of Hawaii, Chen Ming would close his eyes and turn a blind eye. But there are a full 120,000 people in Hawaii, which is really beyond his psychological bottom line.

Zhu Li's eyes were looking at the globe, shining. If Chen Han can finally tear California off the body of the big duck, plus the imperial court's foothold in Xiangzhou [Alaska], the entire North Pacific Ocean can be regarded as China's inland lake.

Just thinking about this kind of thing makes my heart surge, and if this is really realized, it will be wonderful.

Chen Ming didn't make a decision in this moment, he gave Zhu Li a gold medal, Chen Jigong was a meritorious leader, and he also got a silver medal, and then he awarded a lot of rewards to the two people, especially Zhu Li.

Zhu Li's ears were buzzing, and he didn't know how he followed Chen Jigong to withdraw from the palace after receiving the reward, he actually got a gold medal, and at the same time, he was promoted to two levels, the level was equivalent to that of the director of the second bureau, this life is really worth it.

But at night, when he was lying in bed and thinking about it, a huge map appeared in his mind, when the land of Nanyang and Nanming was all dyed red, Xiangzhou and Alaska, California, Happiness Bay, Honolulu, China itself......

A huge circle appeared on the world map, and the vast ocean was the inner lake of the empire, and this scene was really wonderful, so that he couldn't help himself with excitement.

". How can there be so many people? ”

His Majesty the Emperor, who was also lying on the bed and holding a beautiful woman in his arms, His Majesty the Emperor who had just exercised was still thinking about the 200,000 in his heart. No matter how cold his heart was, it was impossible for him to give a slaughter order to 200,000 people.

It seems that Hawaii can only be slowly planned. Zhu Mian said that the king of Hawaii is old and has a son, but at the same time, the nephew of this king is also very strong. Once the Tuwang dies of illness, it is very difficult for the two factions to have a dispute, and this will be a good opportunity during China's intervention. Zhu Li's second proposal was to preach.

Native Hawaiian civilization is backward, and the more backward the natives are, the more devout they are to their faith. After Zhu Lian determined that the emperor really had ambitions for Honolulu, he proposed to send Buddhist masters to the Pacific Islands to preach in advance, if the imperial court really wanted to run Honolulu. Then a large area of the southern part of the Honolulu Islands cannot be left unchecked.

Because it's not just their family who discovered that island, but also the damn guy Cook, who was so lucky.

Even Chen Ming had to marvel at Captain Cook's good luck, what a shit luck it should be such a coincidence.

……

Luzon, Lingayan.

The sun had set, and the sky was dark red with a hint of dark gray. A young man in his twenties rode on a tall white horse, wearing a faded uniform, without the epaulettes of the rank, with a waist knife hanging from his waist, and two double-barreled short guns.

In front of him and behind him were more than twenty cavalrymen, followed by a large army of six or seven hundred men. In a hurry, all the people were running at trot speed towards Dagufan, and even though there were only a few hundred people, the rumbling footsteps still resounded through the fields.

"Instructor, there is already news ahead, there are at least more than 500 natives besieging the church, and I'm afraid the church won't last long!" It was Yan Kongtao, the fourth master of the Yan family, a large Chinese family in Lingjiayan, who stepped forward to report the news to the youth. But when facing the instructor who was seven or eight years younger than Yan Kongtao, Yan Kongtao's expression was full of solemnity.

These young men were all sergeant majors and junior officers who had been discharged from the army, and after the Chinese who followed Lingayan back to Luzon, they began to secretly communicate and contact with Chinese families.

The instructors relied on such 'backbones' and also relied on these big and wealthy families with great influence among the Chinese to weave a big net and initially organize everyone.

The moment those Chinese chose to pick up the red book, their young men spontaneously became a member of the escort team.

The dozen or so horses in the team were all supported by the big families of Lingayan, forming a reconnaissance team to undertake reconnaissance and pursuit combat tasks of the junior troops.

"Get your men ready for battle!"

Yan Kongtao said: "Don't worry, my lord, the reconnaissance team is ready for battle at any time!" Yan Kongtao's eyes flashed with excitement, after preparing for so long, he was finally able to 'go to the battlefield'.

In the 18th century, the Sino-Turkish disputes in Luzon were far less intense than in the 20th century, but the existence of the Spaniards was a-stirring stick, and they instilled the negative influence of the Chinese in the indigenous people all the time. There is hatred and blood debt on both sides, which is the origin of Yan Kongtao's excitement.

Especially among the current uprising of the natives, seven or eight out of ten are extremists in ordinary times. Not only did they hate the Spaniards, but they were also quite hostile to the Chinese.

Anywhere conquered and colonized by Westerners, it is impossible for the natives to unite in unison.

The same is true of the natives of Luzon, who are divided and fighting with each other internally, and are also divided into Westernization, Sinicization, and other factions.

If it is said that the natives in the port of Lingayen who are mixed with the Chinese and the Spaniards are mostly Westernized, Sinicized and familiar with the outside world, the latter is the natives who have a lot of communication with the outside world, then the main part of these inventions who are now rising up are the traditional natives in the inland area.

After the Spanish ruled Luzon, the local tribal uprisings continued intermittently. In three or four years there would be a relatively large uprising, but none of them would succeed. Uprisings have accumulated bilateral blood debts and hatred, and have also disintegrated the traditional power structure of the indigenous people of Luzon again and again, and one tribe after another has been disrupted and scattered.

This is one of the reasons why Luzon became a secular state in later generations, while Malay and East Indies, which are close at hand, became non-secular states.

The instructor nodded, not doubting Yan Kongtao's words. The reconnaissance team under Yan Kongtao's command is the strongest part of the Lingjiayan Chinese Guard, and among the rabble, it only has a preliminary organizational strength, and the team is only a team with the most simplified military training for the backbone elements, and of course the horse team on horseback is more combative. And these horsemen are also equipped with short guns.

Not only can they detect the movement around them, but they are also very powerful when they impact.

The instructor led Yan Kongtao's reconnaissance team all the way to gallop, and soon arrived at Dagufan, and at this time he could already feel the breath of the natives.

Black smoke was rising from the town, and the Spanish flag, which used to be visible at a glance, had been lost in the fireworks. The large crowd fled into the fields outside the town, and the instructors on horseback could see clearly.

The largest building in the town, the church that many people hated, was surrounded by a raging crowd. The instructor couldn't see if the church had been broken, he could only hear the cries of the natives.

The instructor was expressionless, "Yan Kongtao, you led people to release guns and dispersed those mobs!" ”

Although there were only about twenty people in the reconnaissance team, each of them had one spear, two double-barreled handguns, and three guns per man, and the instructor was sure that even if the natives on the opposite side were many times outnumbered, they did not have seventy or eighty muskets.

Dense gunfire immediately followed outside the town, and cries of killing rang out. The natives of the town immediately began to riot, and soon the natives' shouts also traveled through the space to the ears of the instructor.

The natives spotted the team outside the town, and seemed to see that the scout team was small, so they boldly rushed up, and then in the midst of the gunfire, some people fell to the ground from time to time among the running figures.

"These natives are unorganized, and we broke up after a few shots!" In fact, the snipers in the reconnaissance team killed a leader-type figure with a rifled gun, and then everyone was in chaos, Yan Kongtao took the opportunity to lead people to launch a counterattack, and the four or five hundred natives who were in an uproar collapsed.

The instructor nodded, he didn't care about the deaths and injuries of these mobs, as long as there were no casualties among his own people. "What happened in the church? Were there any deaths or injuries? ”

"The situation is not good, the door has been opened. There were more than 30 people in it, several of them were religious believers in the town, and the rest were foreigners in the town, except for the priests and nuns! ”

"Death is not called ordinary." Especially a couple of women......

Yan Kongtao glanced at the instructor when he said this, "There are only nine people found alive, two nuns, two foreigners, one Chinese, one mixed-race, three natives, and the others are dead!" ”

The instructor doesn't care if the person is dead or alive. The priest's life is in his business, and after a few days, the large army will land in Lingayan, and those foreigners will not die now, and the army will also clean them up when the time comes!

"Instructor." Yan Kongtao suddenly whispered, "One of the two living nuns is Han. ”

"Han Chinese? Nun? The instructor's calm expression was broken. What the hell is this, Chinese nun?

"Something that has forgotten its ancestors."

The instructor's face was very ugly. Just the male monotheistic devout Chinese have already challenged the psychological bottom line of the instructor, and there is a girl who doesn't want an ancestor. (To be continued.) )
