The beautiful Hawaiian Islands, the Kingdom of Hawaii that was founded here are theoretically an independent state, but more essentially a semi-colony. The king of the Hawaiian Kingdom www.biquge.info he ascended to the throne and unified the whole of Hawaii by relying on military assistance from the Tang Republic, and even a series of decrees of the Hawaiian Kingdom after its establishment actually came from King Kaio's "son-in-law" Bai Nan.

With the help of the Tang people, the Hawaiians built a palace and established a city that was beginning to take shape. King Caio's standard of living has improved by leaps and bounds, and now the king's palace is lit up all night long, he can enjoy delicious food from different regions, and he can get in and out of the car to get in and out.

Kaio is not a stubborn primitive, in fact, the utilitarian Kaio is able to clearly choose what is good for him. Although some diehards in the tribe objected to his adoption of a new way of life, Kaio soon "found" the evidence of blasphemy against the wizards and elders, and hanged them. As for those in power in other tribes, they were almost purged by him during the war, for example, Kamihameha, who became the Emperor of Hawaii in the later generations, was sent to Datang a long time ago, and now it seems that he is studying at the Datang Military School.

His Majesty the King of Hawaii no longer has any ambitions, and in fact he has always been a man of pleasure, and he is very satisfied to be his own king in peace.

At the behest of the Don, Caio broke the tribal structure of the Polynesians, and even in order to prevent anyone from rising up against him, he even brought people from different tribes living on different islands. Re-break up. And then send it to different islands. He brought the islanders together. It was easy to manage, and then the Tang architects were asked to direct the islanders, build wooden or stone houses, and force the islanders to work, some into the plantations run by the Tang, some to do sandalwood harvesting, some to do construction work, and so on.

It's literally a town, and Caio appoints people he trusts as officials. In some cases, the Tang people were even directly appointed as officials to govern the islanders. There are now more than 1,000 Tang people living in the Hawaiian Islands, some of whom immigrated from Jiazhou and some from the East Asian continent. These Tang people tend to work in more advanced jobs, such as middle and high-level managers of plantations, agricultural experts, architects, contractors, etc., of course, there are also many people who work in doctors, teachers and other professions, and Hawaiians no longer go to witch doctors when they are sick, but go to Tang doctors, because witch doctors often treat people. However, Dr. Datang can generally cure patients.

Of course, there are also many Tang people engaged in more basic labor, in the plantation. The Tang people are sweating like the islanders of Hawaii, and of course a Tang man is obviously much more efficient than a lazy Polynesian. The local islanders are not repulsive to the Tang people, because the Tang people are more gentle and provide a lot of help to the islanders, and the life of the Hawaiians is improving. This is also the fact that many Hawaiians who are dissatisfied with Kao end up obeying Kao's rule in Hawaii because their standard of living is improving. There is no doubt that the material base will always determine the stability of a society.

Pearl Harbor, which has become a vibrant port, has formed a certain scale of sugar cane and coffee grown here, and every now and then, a Datang cargo ship will come to unload all kinds of commodities produced in Datang, and then take away the sugar cane, coffee beans and other spices and tropical plants here.

Although Hawaii is insignificant in the export map of the Tang Dynasty, the population here is only tens of thousands, and the economic ability is not good, even if the Tang people are almost semi-coerced by Kai O to give his working subjects the Tang Dynasty silver coins as labor compensation, but a considerable part of the money still flows into the hands of the aristocracy led by Kai O, of course, Kai O's spending power as a king is also extremely terrifying. In 1777, the Hawaiian royal family spent a staggering amount of more than 1 million Tang Yuan, and Kaio bought a large number of high-priced products from the Tang Dynasty for his own luxury life. And ordinary Hawaiians may have to think twice before buying a knife produced by Datang. However, the purchasing power of the Tang people living here is still okay, after all, their wages are much higher than those of Hawaiians.

The Tang Republic has almost promoted the primitive society of Hawaii all the way to the immature modern society, of course, because only under the modern mode of production and organization can the Tang Dynasty be better and easier to squeeze out the value brought by this place and the people here.

The Tang people have never been keen on using slaves to produce for themselves, because the production efficiency of slaves is not high, and it may cause counter-effects all the time, the important thing is that slaves have no money and cannot consume, which makes the Tang economic officials who firmly believe in the "troika" theory of economic development unacceptable, so even if the wages of workers working for Datang are relatively low, the basic idea is still to allow them to have appropriate money for consumption under the premise of maintaining family living expenses.

The modernization of the Kingdom of Hawaii is also reflected in the fact that there is already a basic government structure here, in addition to the unified management of local towns, under the arrangement of "Horse Lord" Bai Nan, His Majesty King Keo even has his own cabinet and the kingdom army. Kaio's cabinet is not complicated, first of all, there is no prime minister in this cabinet, because Kaio himself has the final say, and no one else can compete with him for power, and then there are several ministers with specific functions, the minister of civil affairs in charge of civil affairs, the minister of sacrifice in charge of sacrifices, the minister of finance in charge of commerce and economy, and the minister of defense in charge of the army and security, in fact, these four people.

Among them, although the Minister of Defense is the number one general under Kaio, the real military organization and training, and even some officers, are all held by Tang people. For example, the current captain in charge of the defense of Pearl Harbor is a militiaman from Datang named You Ming.

You Ming was a member of the Ming Dynasty, born in a military household, and also followed military training for a period of time in the Tang Dynasty, and also worked as a sailor for a period of time, and was later sent to Hawaii to be an officer. You Ming likes this profession more, he is very idle here, there are no all kinds of restrictive rules in the Tang army, he can't stand the Tang Dynasty army, which is full of orders, and is more accustomed to the kind of lord in the old-style army, where the Shangguan is everyone's master, and everyone is the slave of the master.

So in Hawaii, he commanded a hundred-person guard, responsible for the security and defense of the port, and he was also a little powerful, and those natives were quite afraid of him, and they all nodded and bowed their heads one by one to be very respectful to themselves, which made You Ming more satisfied. Of course, there are also dissatisfactions, the merchants who come to Pearl Harbor to do business in Datang will not regard him as a role, and coming here will not give him any benefits at all, and if there is anything inconsiderate, they will directly reprimand him. You Ming also had to continue with a shy smile, because if he was complained by the Datang businessman, maybe the above would directly suspend him, and then he might be stuffed somewhere else. Therefore, You Ming could only endure it like this, and he was angry to go back and spread it to the group of natives under him.

Another dissatisfaction is that the Hawaiian natives are too stinky! You Ming is a typical Chinese aesthetic, she likes girls with white complexion, big eyes, and bright water, but even if the girl here throws her arms to You Ming, You Ming will be cold in her crotch, which is really hurtful. He had seen His Majesty's princess once, although her skin was bronzed, but her little face was good, and her figure was outstanding, she really had nothing to say, but this little cabbage had been arched by Bai Nan, a big official of the Tang Dynasty, You Ming didn't dare to take a second look, who knows if the General Staff would give them these little people and small shoes to wear.

You Ming was fanning a big pu fan at this time, and there was a big-brimmed straw hat on top of his head, and the ghost heat here in Hawaii was also quite fatal. He wears the standard Hawaiian Royal Guard uniform, a whitish pale teal short-sleeved shirt with epaulettes on his shoulders to indicate his rank, and light khaki pants underneath. The colors of all the clothes here are mainly light colors, because they do not absorb heat.

His men were dressed in the same vein, short-sleeved shorts, carrying an SC-2 rifle and light sandals on their feet.

"Boss, pineapple." The little brother-like native soldier flattered and handed You Ming a cut and peeled pineapple.

You Ming pretended to hum and asked, "Have you soaked in salt water?" ”

"Soak it, and listen to your orders every time." The native soldier looked boneless, and his Chinese language was still somewhat stammering, but he was better than most native soldiers, and could speak in sentences.

You Ming enjoyed the cool pineapple, and the taste in his heart was also very beautiful. Tropical fruits like pineapples, which were actually brought to Hawaii by the Tang people, were later grown and became a specialty of the island, and the locals also loved it.

Just as You Ming was cool, suddenly the native soldier next to him shouted: "Boss, there is a boat in the distance, the flag is not the Tang Dynasty flag." ”

You Ming was a little puzzled, his eyes were not as good as this soldier, he raised his binoculars to take a look, and found that what was hanging on it was actually a British flag. You Ming slumped and sobered up a lot, he is also a person who reads expired newspapers from the Tang Dynasty, and learning to read and write is an important capital that he thinks is superior to others.

From the newspaper, You Ming knew the fact that the United Kingdom, which was under the banner of rice, was fighting with the Tang Dynasty on the east coast. Then this group of British, obviously, is the enemy. You Ming usually acts as a prestige, but he has no real skills in the war, and when the British really hit the door, he was already sweating profusely! (To be continued.) )
