After eight or nine days of sailing.

At 10:23 a.m. on August 11, 1868, the Second Pacific Fleet of the Ming Imperial Naval Division finally arrived in waters 12 nautical miles west of Hawaii and launched a combat posture.

Because the forces of the two sides are basically not proportional, the Ming side did not choose a time such as early morning that is conducive to concealment to sneak in.

In addition, Morishita also lowered the speedboat and sent the expatriates who delivered the letter back to the island, informing the imperial people above to prepare to escape the shelling and fighting.

1 hour later, the Ming King Division is about to land.

1 hour, the time is very tight, but it is also benevolent.

After all, no matter how much time there is, the precious white slaves on the island may be able to escape by boat.

Although their old-fashioned merchant ships couldn't escape the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty at all, it was somewhat troublesome.

Even if it doesn't take a hassle, it costs a lot of money!

Since the development of the new use of white slaves, Zhu Fugui has become more enthusiastic about catching slaves.

According to the legal theory, the white slaves are the private property of the great emperor, not only can work, but also draw blood, which is very useful.

Slaves, of course, were expelled from their homes.

Only after the Son of Heaven granted them partial citizenship rights could they operate outside the mines, labor farms.

This system is indeed a bit anti-human, and Zhu Fugui is also ready to rectify it at a later date.

But this time......

Zhu Fugui prepared that since the Age of Discovery, how many years have Europeans kept black slaves, and he himself has saved half of the white slaves, and the children are not deceived.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty is more civilized than Europe, but half of the civilization is enough, there is no need to do too well and embarrass the friends!

After all, he Zhu Datianzi has always been good at dancing and being kind to others in the international political arena!

At 11:47, Zhu Tianzi, who was kind to others, personally boarded the deck and wore a naval justice cloak to announce the start of the battle to restore Ming Weiyi.

At 12 o'clock, five gunboats from Jinzhou, Yizhou, Dingliao, Guangning, and Ningyuan sailed into the port of Hawaii.

At 12:05, the relentless shelling began.

Hawaii is an archipelago consisting of 132 islands. (pictured)

Greater Hawaii is the largest island, with an area of 10,000 square kilometers and about 0.17 tons.

However, the island has two active volcanoes, and the terrain is not inhospitable, and it is basically undeveloped virgin forest.

More than 90% of the population, as well as the capital city of Honolulu, and the future Pearl Harbor, are concentrated on Oahu, the second-largest island.

Oahu has an area of only 1,700 square kilometers, or about 0.28T.

And even on Oahu, most of the area is undeveloped, with only large swaths of sugar cane plantations and a concentrated population along the coast.

According to the intelligence of the expatriates, the gunboats of the Ming Dynasty shelled the American merchant station, the church, the French naval fortress and other places.

The so-called naval fortress and the port of Manila are not comparable at all.

No matter how much the Spaniards in Manila pulled their hips, at least they had the appearance of a regular army, and at least there were large ships of several thousand tons.

And the French fortress in Honolulu only has more than 40 French GIs and 100-ton wooden boats.

The strength is not as good as that of American businessmen.

The American merchant was full of martial virtue, and the French sailor Ferra was unbearable.

The former pulled out more than 20 Napoleonic bronze cannons to confront the Ming Naval Division.

Relying on the condescending geography, it actually hit the port side of the Uiju, causing a small area of fire.

But that's about it.

Soon, these unscrupulous businessmen threw off their armor and fled in embarrassment under the fire of the Ming Dynasty.

At 13:22, all shore-based resistance on Oahu was eliminated.

At 13:30, 500 elite marines went ashore in rubber boats to suppress bandits, and the emperor held the sun and moon flag to welcome Wang Shi to land and show Wang Shi the way.

At 17:15, Chen Qiang, the chief student of the first phase of the Naval Division University Hall, a young naval general, reported the battle situation to Zhu Fugui under the golden sunset.

This young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it is the first time that he has organized a joint operation of several warships.

When he reported, he also said a few words of hometown dialect under excitement, and Zhu Fugui knew that he was an old watch in Jiangxi when he heard it.

Presumably, all the origins of the generals of the Beiyang Naval Division of Fujian Mawei are much richer.

Wang Zhonghuang is a native of Fujian, Morishita is a native of Yunnan, and among the younger generation of officers, there are people from Jiangxi, Liangguang, Hunan, southern Anhui, and even people from Henan and Hebei who are not good at water in the traditional sense.

This is the benefit of imperialism with Ming characteristics under the leadership of His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

Because it is a country of immigrants, it is not exactly a country of immigrants.

There is no extensive nepotism and vigor within the Ming Dynasty, and there is no national nihilism and national identity obstacles.

All the forces of progress can be mobilized unhindered.

Hearing that Daming had completely controlled the entire territory of Honolulu City, and the Westerners had all been driven into the woods on the island, waiting for tomorrow Tianming to further clean up, Zhu Fugui nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the representatives of the emperor also came to eat pot pulp with a few bundles of sugarcane to reward the king.

This is already their best gift.

As far as the shogunate government looks like a bear, it can be guessed that the imperial people, who are not living well these small days, have little oil and water.

They were bullied worse than the Chinese in Nanyang.

No wonder I heard that the sun and the moon will reopen tomorrow......

Well, in fact, most of them don't know what Da Ming is.

But a few of the learned Japanese told everyone that when the Ming Dynasty came, the yellow race would have a blue sky, and the end of the foreigners would come, so they tried their best to send the blood book out of the island.

In general, for these Japanese people, Zhu Fugui is ready to adopt the strategy of resettlement in other places.

After all, this is the future headquarters of the Daming Pacific Fleet, and the demographic structure still needs to be paid attention to.

It's easy to do.

Today, the clean-up of the Wajima Prefecture is almost complete.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty was founded in North America and "started anew", then the Wajima Metropolitan Protectorate has almost reached the stage of "cleaning the house and welcoming guests".

To tell the truth, if you don't welcome guests, the ratio of men and women in Wajima is about to explode, monogamy will never be practiced, and four or five wives for a man will become the norm.

So Zhu Fugui must help them.

As early as next year, the Ming Dynasty will almost introduce Chinese to move to Japan to achieve assimilation in the true sense.

At present, whether the Japanese people throw this back to the island, or send it to Southern California to repair the dam of the Colorado River, and give it to Juka after completion, and throw it on the border between Ming and Mexico to guard the border, it is okay.

But the island's aborigines are in trouble.

The Korean puppet army is still fighting the plague debuff in Luzon to search the mountains and inspect the sea to exterminate the native tribes.

Many of the natives in Luzon had participated in the Manila massacre, and Zhu Fugui had no psychological burden in doing so.

But the native Hawaiians didn't recruit anyone or provoke anyone, and Zhu Fugui didn't plan to mess around.

After thinking about it, Zhu Fugui said: "Chen Qiang, where is the palace of the chieftain of Mingweiyi, and I will announce the chieftain of the princely states here, and I want to say a few words to him." ”

"The Emirates' Palace?"

Chen Qiang was stunned, "Didn't you see any chieftain palace?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Fugui frowned, and asked the guards to bring a fellow emperor.

Yunnan officer Senior Colonel Morishita gave full play to his strengths and reluctantly became an interpreter for him.

In the face of the inquiry of the great emperor, the old man of the imperial people prostrated on the ground, raised his head and said nervously, and puzzled: "Of course there is a palace, it is a big building, and it was built by foreigners, and there is also the rice flag of the Hawaiian Kingdom hanging on it......

You see, over there...... Those ruins are all there, the quality of the foreigner's house is too poor, and it was beaten into slag by the thunderbolt cannons of the heavenly soldiers just now! ”
