As the Spring Festival approached, Zhang Wei had to go home for the New Year.

People who have wives and children think differently than when they are single.

On January 18, 1909, Zhang Wei again arrived in the Hawaiian Islands.

Zhang Wei prepared to continue his journey after taking a short rest at the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet.

Vice Admiral Gan Pinghai, commander of the Pacific Fleet, chatted with Zhang Wei, and suddenly, he asked Zhang Wei: "Your Majesty, do you want to meet the Queen of Hawaii this time?" She has offered to visit you in Beijing many times, but we have always refused on the grounds that she is in good health, and told her that we will meet her when you pass through Hawaii. ”

Zhang Wei thought to himself that the Hawaiian Islands have a very important strategic location, and maintaining the stability of Hawaii is very important to the Xia Empire, and it is not impossible to meet the Queen of Hawaii. So he said, "Yes, you can arrange it!" ”

Gan Pinghai hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, then meet this morning, and I will go and inform the Queen of Hawaii." ”

"Don't worry, you can tell me about the situation of the Queen of Hawaii first, or it won't be good if there is a mistake then." Zhang Wei said.

Gan Pinghai said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Queen Liliukalani, now 70 years old, had no children since her husband Dominius died in August of the year she ascended the throne. Kaorani also died, so now there are no legal heirs left in the Kingdom of Hawaii. Queen Liliukalani ascended the throne in 1891 and ruled in 1893. U.S. President Cleveland did not want to depose the Queen, and he even planned to restore Queen Liliucarani to the throne on the condition that the Queen would be kind to the Americans who participated in the uprising. But the mediation efforts of U.S. diplomats in Hawaii were unsuccessful, and Queen Liliukalani insisted that the "rebels and thieves" be severely punished. Thus, in February 1894, the U.S. Congress passed a report stating that the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy the previous year was not illegal. Later, the Republic of Hawaii was proclaimed. In 1895, Hawaiian royalists attempted to restore the kingdom, but their attempt failed, and Liliukalani was arrested. She was forced to sign documents, renounce any future claims to the throne, and was subjected to a humiliating public trial. The court sentenced her to five years in prison and a fine of $5,000. However, the court later shortened her sentence and imprisoned her in Washington Palace until the Empire rescued her. During his imprisonment, Liliukalani spent his days reading, sewing quilts, weaving, and composing music. ”

"So what's going on now?"

Gan Pinghao continued: "Your Majesty, now that Queen Liliukarani is still living in Washington Palace, she has established her own guard, and Commander Xia Shuanglong has sent people to train them in military skills; The administration of the entire Hawaiian Islands was handed over to the Queen of Hawaii, who assisted her in the administration of the Empire, but the docks at Pearl Harbor and Honolulu were under the full control of the Empire, which was also done for the safety of the fleet. ”

Zhang Wei understood the current situation in Hawaii, so he asked Gan Pinghai to arrange a meeting with the queen.

After so many years of captivity, Queen Liliukalani has long figured out that in this world of the jungle, it is impossible to survive by relying solely on her own strength, without the destruction of the Americans, there are still British, French, etc., next time she may not be so lucky to be rescued, she must find a strong backer for herself and her people, and the Xia Empire is a more ideal choice.

The Xia Empire not only rescued itself, but also restored the Hawaiian Kingdom and its own throne, helped itself to deal with government affairs, all the taxes went to the Hawaiian Kingdom, and also helped themselves to establish a guard for free, etc., completely regardless of the return, even the Xia Empire had ambitions, at least they did not threaten their rule, and they helped themselves strengthen their rule.

Moreover, the Xia Empire did not interfere in any government affairs of the Hawaiian Kingdom, so that Queen Liliukalani could act according to her own ideas, she first captured the Americans who participated in the uprising, beheaded all of them, and confiscated the assets of all Americans in the Hawaiian Islands. 【】

When Gan Pinghai arrived at Washington Palace (now renamed Iraoni Palace), the palace maid informed her, and Queen Liliukalani immediately welcomed her out of the main hall.

"Dear Commander Gan, why do you have time to come and see me?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor Shenwu has arrived in Hawaii, I don't know when you will have time, I want to arrange for the two of you to meet and fulfill your wish." Gan Pinghai replied truthfully.

"God, this is the best news I have ever heard, I have time at any time, I can go and meet His Majesty Emperor Shenwu now, no, wait a minute, let me change my clothes and go with you." After Queen Liliukarani finished speaking, she returned to the main hall to change her clothes, and before leaving, she did not forget to arrange for the palace maid to serve Gan Pinghai a cup of good coffee.

Lieutenant General Gan Pinghai has the unique elegance of the Chinese, never domineering, is very popular with the ladies of the imperial palace, and has a high reputation throughout the Native Hawaiians.

Under Gan Pinghai's arrangement, Zhang Wei and Queen Liliukalani met at the Pacific Fleet station and had lunch together.

Queen Liliukarani originally thought that the emperor who could control such a large territory would be an old man, at least middle-aged, but she didn't expect that Zhang Wei, who was known as the Emperor Shenwu, would not even be 20 years old.

And the image of Queen Liliukalani is similar to Zhang Wei's impression, tall and strong, and she is indeed an aborigine, even if it is another hundred years, it will not be able to change the unique image of the aborigines.

Queen Liliukalani used to just want to meet this person who rescued her and helped her restore the kingdom, but after meeting, she didn't know how to salute, she came so smartly, and she didn't have time to ask Gan Pinghai, and now seeing that the emperor of the Xia Empire was so young, she stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Gan Pinghai also blamed himself a little for not arranging things well.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and said: "Come, everyone sit down, today we are meeting in private, not a grand diplomatic occasion, there is no need to observe any cumbersome etiquette; Let's start with the taste of Hawaii's unique high-quality coffee. ”

Zhang Wei broke everyone's embarrassment, everyone was still a little blushing, but they still got off the donkey down the slope and accepted Zhang Wei's kindness.

Queen Liliukalani hurriedly said, "It is an honor for the Hawaiian people that the Venerable Emperor Shenmu can enjoy the coffee here. ”

"Hawaii is not only suitable for growing coffee and sugar cane, but also many other tropical plants, such as pineapples, are suitable for growing here, and if we invest here and open up a large area of fertile land, it will definitely benefit the people of Hawaii, and at the same time, it will also allow more people in the world to taste Hawaiian coffee and cane sugar," Zhang said. ”

When he occupied Hawaii, Zhang Wei had landed on other islands, but the land was barren and there were too few places suitable for farming, but he had a system to transport volcanic ash from Java Island to transform the local soil, and all of them were transformed into fertile and fertile fields, which was impossible for others and was really a trivial matter for Zhang Wei.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Shenwu, your idea is too good, it's just that the Hawaii Kingdom is too poor and doesn't have this ability for the time being."

"Don't worry, the Xia Empire will assist you in the future, but now the Xia Empire is busy with wars, and when the world is peaceful and there is time to build, it will definitely help the people of Hawaii to live a good life." Zhang Wei promised.

Queen Liliukarani took Zhang Wei's words as kind words, she thought, the Xia Empire has helped her enough, it is impossible to help herself forever regardless of returns, unless this becomes his own territory, they will increase investment, it seems that her previous thinking is completely correct, she has no heir now, as long as he passes the throne to the emperor of the Xia Empire, he will definitely increase his investment in Hawaii in the future, that can at least strive for a good future for the Hawaiian people.

Queen Liliukalani said in a formal tone: "Your Majesty the Emperor Shenwu, thank you very much for saving me from the dire situation, so that the people of Hawaii can be freed and no longer exploited and bullied by the Americans, and now I and all the people of Hawaii do not know how to thank you and the entire Xia Empire." ”

Zhang Wei said cheekily: "The Xia Empire is a peace-loving country, and the Chinese are a peace-loving nation, we hope that all ethnic groups in the world can coexist peacefully, build a beautiful homeland together, and make the world full of laughter at all times; For Hawaii, we just did what we felt we should do, and we couldn't get used to the flying and domineering of the Americans, and we couldn't get used to them bullying backward nations everywhere, you don't have to take it to heart, the Xia Empire will continue to support the Hawaiian Kingdom and the Hawaiian people in the future. ”

Zhang Wei's words moved Queen Liliukalani very much, and then, she said that she would move to Yolani Palace on Hawaii Island, and at the same time would move all the natives on Oahu and other islands to live on Hawaii Island, and in the future, the Hawaiian natives would only live on Hawaii Island, and all other islands would be transferred to the Xia Empire; At the same time, she hopes to pass the throne of the Queen of Hawaii to Zhang Wei after her own hundred years, and hopes that Zhang Wei will treat her people well.

Zhang Wei listened to the interpreter finish speaking Queen Liliukalani, and was surprised that he didn't know what to say, this is simply pie in the sky, he has never thought about how to get the right to rule Hawaii, and now he has become the king of Hawaii so smoothly and legally, it is really good to be rewarded.

And Zhang Wei also understood that Queen Liliukalani took retreat as advance, moved all the natives to Hawaii Island, and made such a big sacrifice, hoping that Zhang Wei could treat her people well, not only moved by this lovely elderly queen.

Therefore, Zhang Wei promised that the Xia Empire would help the Hawaiian Kingdom to build Hawaii Island, first of all, to build roads, transform fertile fields, build water conservancy, and open schools; The second is to purchase crops such as sugar and coffee from business trips to Hawaii at protective prices to protect the interests of the Hawaiian people; In the end, the Xia Empire would give the Queen of Hawaii 500,000 yuan in cash every year for her personal expenses.
