Queen Liliukarani is the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and in fact Queen Liliukalani is just a symbol of name and power. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 1872, the Hawaiian dynasty cracked down on Catholics, and the Hawaiian king did not designate an heir before his death, so the king was elected, and the Hawaiian government had a chamber.

In 1887, the Americans and British, who had been doing business in Hawaii for many years, served as Hawaiian government officials in Hawaii, they forced the king to sign a new constitution, renounced the rights of the monarch, and even deprived the king of executive power, as well as the right of all Asians to vote, in 1891, the king of Hawaii died, and his sister took the throne, that is, Queen Liliukalani, but Queen Liliukalani no longer had much power as a king, and there were not many people in the Hawaiian kingdom who listened to Queen Liliukalani.

Chen Fang left the Iolani Palace angrily, and some white people actually laughed when they saw Chen Fang's appearance.

When Chen Fang returned home, Chen Fang's expression returned to normal, and today it was all a play, played for Americans.

In November of the third year of Xinghua (1891), a Chinese person and several Hawaiian natives had oral sex conflicts, and finally the Chinese were "stabbed to death" by a native with a knife in the street.

The dead man is not a trivial matter, but I didn't expect the Hawaiian authorities to still favor the natives, but they just let them go after a small fine for the natives who "stabbed to death", and the "dead" Chinese did not receive any compensation, but the Hawaiian authorities put all the fault on the "dead man".

The Chinese community in the Kingdom of Hawaii was furious and opposed the Hawaiian authorities' handling of the situation, especially the Chinese from the Chinese Empire itself, clamoring for an explanation from the Hawaiian authorities.

However, instead of giving an explanation, the Hawaiian authorities sent troops to guard against the possibility of bloodshed at any time.

But the occurrence of this incident made the Hawaiian natives arrogant, they saw that they killed the Chinese, and they did not receive much punishment, so they were relieved and bold to show the Chinese all kinds of actions, and then for a period of time, the natives were dared to rob the Chinese on the street, and ran away after the robbery, even if they were caught, they said that the things were their own, and under the favoritism of the Hawaiian authorities, the matter could not be resolved in any way.

There are even more fights and brawls, almost every day there are Chinese "wounded and bleeding", if the aborigines are fine, if the aborigines are also injured, then the Chinese who participated in the fights and brawls will be arrested and can only pay a fine to ransom people.

The anger in the hearts of the Chinese in Hawaii is gathering, as if a volcano is about to erupt, but there are also Chinese who "leave" Hawaii, as if they can't stay in Hawaii.

In February of the fourth year of Xinghua, a Chinese merchant and his two servants were "stabbed to death" by natives in the street, and all their belongings were robbed.

A day after the incident, Zhou Ming appeared at Chen's house, Chen Fang's eldest son Chen Zhongzhong was in charge of the reception, Chen Fang was old after all, although his body was still healthy, but most of the Chen family's affairs had been handed over to Chen Zhongzhong.

Zhou Ming: "You can start, success or failure is here!" ”

"We're going to make it." Chen Zhongzhong replied excitedly, as long as this operation is successful, then the Chen family can become one of the nobles of the Chinese Empire, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The next day, Chen Zhongzhong, in the name of his father Chen Fang, convened the major Chinese businessmen in the Hawaiian Kingdom to discuss major matters, and soon, the Chinese businessmen came to the door one after another, of course, all the Chinese businessmen who came to the door were members of the "Yingzhou Strategy Plan", and after the "Yingzhou Strategy Plan" ended, there will be three Chinese families to obtain the third-class baronship.

Ostensibly, the Chinese businessmen gathered to go to the Hawaiian authorities to ask for an explanation, but in fact they were arranging an imminent military operation.

A year ago, 3,000 "single-one" rifles made by all countries were delivered to various Chinese merchants, and the armed force of 3,000 people wanted to take all the islands in one fell swoop.

There are two main armed forces in the Kingdom of Hawaii, one is the army of the Kingdom of Hawaii, with only seven hundred men, armed with some "single-one" rifles and a few old-style artillery; The other is the U.S. Navy, which has a military base in Hawaii, which usually docks three cruisers, and has less than 500 armed forces on shore.

Don't doubt that although the "repeating" rifle has already been launched and installed with the armies of all countries in the world, it will take some time to complete the complete rearmament. There are not too many units in the army that have changed their "repeating" rifles, after all, the war is far from the United States, and it is okay to change their outfits slowly.

The Chinese with 3,000 armed forces were enough to defeat the Kingdom of Hawaii. Army, United States. The army, although unable to deal with the three American cruisers, could not sail to the shore with three cruisers.

In mid-February, the delegation of Chinese businessmen made its first request to the Hawaiian authorities, asking them to thoroughly investigate the deaths of the Chinese businessmen, who had a considerable influence in the Hawaiian Kingdom, and the Hawaiian authorities, which were dominated by Americans and British, did not directly refuse, saying that they would conduct an investigation, but in fact did not take any action.

In late February, the delegation of Chinese businessmen, which had not yet received any reply from the Hawaiian authorities, requested the Hawaiian authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the death of the Chinese businessman.

In early March, when there was still no reply from the Hawaiian authorities, the Chinese delegation came to the seat of the Hawaiian government again, but this time, the Hawaiian authorities impatiently ordered the army to drive the Chinese delegation away.

The Chinese businessmen's delegation made three demands, and the Hawaiian authorities took matters into account, which seriously harmed the interests of the Chinese businessmen, and since the Hawaiian government could not protect the interests of the Chinese businessmen, the Chinese businessmen used their own weapons to protect their own interests.

On the evening of 7 March, armed forces of Chinese businessmen on the six major islands of the Hawaiian archipelago, including Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai, were secretly assembling forces.

According to the plan of action, 3,000 armed forces, under the command of the intelligence department, launched a full-scale attack on the Kingdom of Hawaii before dawn, eliminated the armed forces used by the Kingdom of Hawaii, surrounded the military bases of the United States, and completed the complete occupation of the Hawaiian Islands.

The personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence have received a certain degree of military education and possess a certain command ability, and are able to become temporary commanders and command this group of "militias" to seize the Hawaiian Islands.
