When the warships of China and Britain sailed into Pearl Harbor. The generals of the Ming Navy really realized how ambitious the British Empire was in the Pacific. On the narrow entrance to the harbor was the fortress of Hikam rising from the ground, and on the edge of the beach was a tall stone wall five or six feet high, although it was not much thick from the outside, but it was not possible to destroy it by any kind of cannon at the moment.

There are giant cannons placed on the stone wall one after another, and the huge barrel is faintly exposed, which should be a 15-inch smoothbore cast iron cannon, which is larger than the largest caliber cannon that Lan Fangxing can cast! Even if it is a "turtle" type ironclad ship of the Ming Navy, I am afraid that it can't resist the bombardment of giant artillery of this caliber! Obviously, such a fortress could not be captured from the sea, and Pearl Harbor was a place of great safety without capturing this Hickam fortress.

In this turquoise deep-water port, there are neat and clean docks and large dry docks under construction. A large coal storage warehouse was also built on the shore - the British Navy seemed to have long realized that the future sea belonged to steam ironclads! On a small island named "Robben Island" (Ford Island) in the harbor is a series of military camps, large and small houses, and on the coast of Helena Bay, north of Robben Island, there are also houses under construction. This is certainly not a residential area on Oahu, but as is the case on Robben Island, it is a barracks and warehouse for the British army! I really don't know how much military force the British will deploy here after the Pearl Harbor base is fully completed?

The third-class battleships, fourth-class warships, cruisers, escort ships, flying scissor transport ships, and the steam ironclad ships that look very similar to the "iron turtles" of the Ming army (in fact, they should be offshore gunboats) are neatly anchored and moored side by side. There are also a number of small steamboats plying the harbor. Pull away the white waves. Tall mast from the era of sail battleships. A water forest is formed here. Ten inches, twelve inches. Even fifteen-inch large-caliber naval guns seemed to be showing off their power to the visiting Chinese emperor, and this was only a fraction of the power of the British Imperial Navy, which ruled the seas! It seems to be telling Zhu Jishi: on the mainland, your 1 million troops may be a powerful force enough to make any enemy tremble, but at sea, your little navy is not enough at all!

On the pier, Prince Albert of the United Kingdom, Queen Mathilde I, arrived a few days early. King Zhu Guojie and Queen Helena of Hawaii, Daming Concubine Luo Xiangju, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Earl Mayo, Charlie. Burke, of course, was an English Earl, only 37 years old this year, one of Zhu Jishi's old acquaintances when he was in England, and now he became the most powerful man in the Hawaiian kingdom - these characters have been waiting for a long time.

The Royal Navy military band, dressed in dark blue uniforms, played a welcome song. The officers and men of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Hawaii, dressed in striking red uniforms, lined up with Besemai rifles held aloft - the only force in the Kingdom of Hawaii, including two infantry regiments, a coast guard regiment, two artillery battalions, and a cavalry company. The total number was only 6,500, and most of the soldiers were native Hawaiians. The officers were all white, while 70 percent of the population of the Kingdom of Hawaii were Chinese. But very few people signed up for the army. And the regiment of Japanese troops that were once stationed here before has long since been pulled out of New Japan, and now the Ming Empire is on this archipelago, it can be said that there is not a single soldier......

Of course, the welcome ceremony was very warm and solemn, sandwiched between the figures of these dignitaries and soldiers, as well as many local Hawaiian businessmen, who were all Chinese faces, and like the Chinese elsewhere, the Chinese in Hawaii will always be the most industrious and thrifty ethnic group in the local area...... Oh, and the Japanese! They are now gradually appearing abroad, but they have not formed an independent ethnic group, but have integrated into the Chinese family. In addition, there are some carefully selected charming-looking Hawaiian girls, wearing grass skirts, holding garlands, and with the sweetest smiles, waiting for their "Taishang King" Zhu Jishi.

Springboard from Maria. The port side of the Clementina was lowered, and Zhu Jishi stepped on the gangplank. Clementina followed him, wearing a long rose-red dress, holding Emperor Zhu's arm, with a charming smile on her face. And Zhu Jishi's face was also full of joy, wearing a Chinese-style dragon robe and a good wing official made of gold wire. Everyone looked at this legendary Ming Emperor in the world, the master of the Eastern world. The Ming Emperor was already standing on the land of Hawaii, and the sound of military music reached a climax at this moment. A charming Hawaiian girl greeted her, put a wreath around Zhu Jishi's neck, and said softly in Chinese: "Welcome to Hawaii, my majesty." In the end, he kissed Zhu Jishi on the cheek enthusiastically.

Prince Albert greeted him with a smile, he was dressed in the blue uniform of the British Navy, his face glowed red, and he looked very energetic - it seemed that being away from the heavy affairs of state and Queen Victoria was indeed very beneficial to his health. His Royal Highness stretched out his hand to shake Zhu Jishi, smiled and said in Chinese: "Welcome, Emperor Xià." Zhu Jishi shook his hand vigorously and replied in Albert's native German: "It's great to see you in Hawaii, now that we are relatives, this world is amazing." By the way, Prince Leopold is okay? ”

Albert smiled and nodded, "It's okay, live carefully, if you want to live in this world for a long time, you have to be careful, don't you?" ”

Zhu Jishi laughed, "Is there no big mistake to be careful, especially when you sit in the position of the king of a country, you must be cautious about affairs." ”

Then, the Chinese Emperor walked up to the British Prime Minister Viscount Palmerston and shook hands with him with a smile: "Viscount, I didn't expect to see you in Hawaii, it's so surprising to me, don't you have to trouble your Excellency the Prime Minister all the time in the national affairs of the British Empire?" ”

Palmerson smiled slightly, and looked at Zhu Jishi with deep eyes, "Your Majesty, meeting you is a national event, and it is the most important event!" ”

He was right, Emperor Zhu's meeting with the British king, the British prime minister, and the second person in the Bonaparte family, Empress Mathilde, is, of course, the most important event in the world. Moreover, this meeting came at a time when the situation in the United States was becoming increasingly tense and the North-South split was on the verge of breaking out!

Zhu Jishi then walked over to the well-dressed Empress Mathilde, smiled and kissed her: "Dear Mathilde, you are so charming today, do you know how much I have to say to you?" ”

"Then speak tonight," replied Mathilde, smiling, "will you come to my private villa?" Right on the beach in Honolulu, the scenery is stunning. ”

"It's a deal." Zhu Jishi walked in front of his son Zhu Guojie again. He looked at his first child carefully. The sixteen-year-old (in fact, only fifteen years old) young man has already begun to make a head, and he looks like he is 1.72 or 73 meters, and it seems that he will soon be as tall as Emperor Zhu. He is also very handsome, seven or eight points similar to Zhu Jishi, and he is definitely a beautiful man. He wore a red Western-style military uniform, the same clothes as the Royal Hawaiian Guard, and looked very heroic. The young man also held a girl like Snow White in his arm, Princess Helena of England, the queen of Hawaii, and the duchess of Hong Kong Island.

The little girl seemed to be very satisfied with her "Prince Charming", and was looking at Zhu Guojie with affection at this time, and showed a bright smile. I really don't know how this young couple will stand in line in the future, when the Ming Dynasty and the British Empire become enemies? It's embarrassing to think about...... (To be continued......)
