Chapter 454: Sea, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Three Points and One Line!
Pan Jinxian coughed dryly twice, and changed the topic a little embarrassedly: "I said Zhu Da, you have seen Liang Shao's noodles the most, I have always had a question, why did Liang Shao give our settlements in the New World all the strange names?" Like Seattle in the north, San Francisco here, and Los Angeles in the south, what does it mean? ”
"Haven't you heard the guides who led the displaced people explain?" Wu Qi glanced at this guy, and he didn't know how to pick a lively topic. [No pop-up novel network]
"Those guys?" Pan Jinxian glanced at this guy with disdain. "Those guys' mouths can coax birds from the trees into the hot soup pot obediently, today the mouths turn to the east, tomorrow to the west, one explanation a day, except for those who don't know the details, who will believe it?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ye couldn't help laughing: "This is true, those guys are all instructors of various companies in the future, and now, it is equivalent to delegating exercise, isn't it good to be good at kung fu?" ”
"Hey, Zhu Da, don't open the topic, tell me quickly, do you know what this means?" Wu Qi also came to the momentum. "Just like us here, how did the young master name this place San Francisco, we came here for a year, only to find out that there is a large gold mine here, but before that, those Westerners didn't know at all, even if the young master was an unpredictable prophet, it could only be called Jinshan, why did you have to add an old word in front of it?"
"I also asked Liang Shao about this, but do you know how Liang Shao answered?" Zhu Ye's big mouth grinned, and his expression was a little strange.
"Say, don't sell it." The two said in unison. Zhu Ye couldn't help laughing. "Liang Shao said, these places were originally called by this name."
Seeing the confused expressions of the two, Zhu Ye rolled his eyes and said a little stupidly: "Ask again, Liang Shao said again: 'I have a hobby, you can take one if you have the ability.'" 'Look at what I say, do I dare to ask?' If you want me to say, Liang Shao can endure anything, but it's just the same, he can't name it, I heard that it makes people feel awkward, but, this San Francisco, Seattle or something, it's called too much, and it's also called Shunkou, hey, it feels like these places should be called this name. ”
Hearing Zhu Ye's self-perfunctory words and put gold on their faces, Pan Jinxian and Wu Qi rolled their eyebrows and snickered, as if the estrangement between them had disappeared without a trace.
"Damn, laugh at the fart, haven't you rested enough, don't go to work yet!" Zhu Ye glanced at his eyes, and said angrily, these two guys squeaked and ran out of the distance, but the presumptuous laughter echoed in Siye. Looking at these two former enemies who were talking and laughing, Zhu Ye's face showed a smile full of deep meaning.
--------------------
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, these three strange place names, are the three cities where Chinese people gather today, the least populous Seattle has about 50,000 people, and the most populous Los Angeles has more than 130,000 people, and the number is still increasing rapidly.
There are also nearly 100,000 Korean Kingdom and Japanese laborers in the three places, and various infrastructure construction, especially road construction, has been approaching at an alarming rate for more than two years.
Every two to three months, a fleet of ships would depart from the ports of Kyushu and Yokosuka, pass through the Ogasawara Islands, Minamitorishima, and the Marshall Islands, and then arrive in the Hawaiian Islands.
The Kamihameha chief in the Hawaiian Islands is also a bad nose. Originally, he had already relied on force to conquer other Hawaishire tribes, and less than a month after he ascended the throne and became the king of Hawaii, a detachment of the Liang family army secretly supported those tribes conquered by him to unite and resist again, with the weapons and equipment supported by the Chinese. The Kamihameha chieftain, who was originally the most powerful, was losing ground one after another.
In the end, King Kamihameha, who could not support it, decided to negotiate with the tribes who opposed him, and the final outcome was that the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who had been in office for less than two months, announced his abdication, and the tribes continued to maintain a social environment of harmonious coexistence between the tribes, and many tribes in the Hawaiian Islands agreed to live and develop the island with the Chinese, but to ensure peace between their indigenous tribes, of course, there was no problem with the Chinese fleet that had been planning to swallow this land for a long time.
After that, it was logical that a large number of Chinese and Japanese laborers began to move in, and a large port was built here, and it was also a town, and it was used as the most important relay station connecting the base camp of Liang Pengfei in the New World.
At present, there are about 50,000 Japanese laborers and about 30,000 Chinese people.
The continent is like a balloon filled with water, and someone has pricked a few small eyes with needles, and those small eyes are flowing with liquid, which is these people who have been displaced and fled their homes.
If it weren't for the White Lotus Rebellion, which swept almost half of the continent, the common people who were honest and would rather starve than leave their homeland would have been forced to flee their hometowns with their families and go to provinces with relatively peaceful environments.
If it weren't for the efforts of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials to absorb those charitable donations, grain and rice, how could these ordinary people risk life and death to embark on those sea ships that traveled thousands of miles to the New World, but pursued a subsistence food?
All this, to blame, can only be blamed on the rotten Manchu regime, can only be blamed on Liang Pengfei's vision of grasping and controlling time, vicious and precise.
Without war, the people would not flee from their homes, without those rotten bureaucratic classes, those who fled from their homes would at least be able to survive in a foreign land.
And just five months after defeating the expedition of the United States of America, the members of the expedition finally returned to the territory of the United States of America after many difficulties and dangers, and the news that the expedition had been annihilated by a mysterious but powerful Eastern army soon reached the ears of the founding fathers of the United States of America in Maryland, the capital of the United States of America, in the northeastern part of the New World.
Angry, the elites and parliamentarians of the United States of America were very angry, at the beginning of the country, they had already regarded the whole New World as a paradise for their expansion and occupation, after all, the Western colonizers only regarded it as a colony, not a direct territory, and their self-confidence had been greatly inflated by their victory over the mighty Britain in the Reading Power War.
After the establishment of the country, while vigorously developing the domestic economy, they began to gradually expand to the south and west, because the north was the territory of the British, and the United States of America was well aware that the reason why they were able to read was not only their own strength, but also the help of countries such as France.
And now, if they expand northward, then they will surely anger the British again, and the British will certainly not let go of this nascent country easily, and at that time, France, which is already in chaos at home, will certainly not be able to help, and Spain, which has annexed large swathes of the New World colonies by the Yankees, will not be able to help, and may even contribute to it.
Therefore, the United States of America not only did not expand to the north, but even sent envoys to Britain to negotiate and signed the "Jay Treaty", so that the two sides could live in peace. Although it was opposed at home, everyone knew that the current United States really did not have the ability and the need to anger the British.
The expansion to the west and south has achieved a lot of success, and it can be said that it is invincible, but now, on this continent, there is a new opponent: the Orientals.
For the news brought by these fleeing people. They recognized some of them, but, with the news that the Orientals had more powerful weapons and terrible artillery, the United States of America had begun trading with that empire years earlier, and was well aware, like the rest of the West, of how stubborn and conservative that vast old empire really was.
Although in the East, a strong pirate has risen, but, according to the information returned, it has not been found that this opponent has any terrible weapons, but the strength is indeed very strong, not only defeated Spain and the Netherlands, which are powerful in the East, but also almost uprooted the power of the British in the East.
The United States did not pay much attention to this new adversary, after all, it was what happened thousands of miles away, but now, the fat at the corner of his mouth, there was a new eater, and this unreasonable man, and even united with those Indians against himself, this was enough to provoke the anger of the proud United States of America, which was still immersed in the fruits of expansion.
Sending troops, sending troops, using a strong army to prove to those Orientals who is the master of this new continent, after fierce discussion and dispute, the members of the US Congress finally came to the final decision. To the west of the New World, send an expeditionary force of up to 5,000 men and demand that they must drive the damned Orientals out of the continent.
However, when the senators of the United States of America watched with excitement the expeditionary force of elite veterans leave Washington and head for the West Coast, none of them could have imagined that they were nothing more than pushing these 5,000 brave citizens of the United States of America into the bottomless abyss of death. At this time, of course, they only imagined in their minds that they would receive news of victory in a few months.
