The Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Now it is a municipality directly under the central government of Xia Prefecture - Xia Prefecture is directly under the jurisdiction of the city, not because of how important this port in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is.

It's because the nearest provincial administrative districts are too far away.

Xiazhou is directly under the central government, but also to save administrative costs.

Now, the port of Xiazhou has become a transit point for many Pacific migrant ships departing from the ports of Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Edo.

Whether it's Japanese and Koreans who go to New Japan, or Chinese who go to North America.

Many ships choose to dock at Xiazhou for repairs.

This also makes the "tourist economy" of the entire Xiazhou City extremely prosperous.

There are many small businessmen who come to the port area to open restaurants and restaurants.

But in addition to the tourist economy.

The main economic income of Xiazhou City is the sugar factories built on large and small sugar plantations and the whale oil industry chain brought by the whaling industry.

As the demand for whale oil has risen over the years.

There are also more and more whaling ships coming to Xiazhou, plus migrant ships that have come to repair.

The prosperity of Xiazhou Port is even better than that of Guangzhou, Ningbo and other places.

However, the normally busy port is now temporarily closed.

Several steamers rumbled into the harbor.

The white smoke from the chimney of the steamer obscured the sky and slowly approached the dock of the harbor like a steel beast.

Although steamships are not uncommon in this era.

But for long-distance voyages such as crossing the Pacific Ocean, sail power is the main reliance.

The range of a steamship is limited by fuel.

Therefore, in the port of Xiazhou, I have seen ships with hybrid sails and steam at most—but occasionally steam ironclad warships towed by sail ships enter the port.

But it was a warship.

So it's not a surprise to everyone.

And the steamships that come now don't look like warships - after all, there are no huge main guns, only small-caliber guns for self-defense that don't look particularly thick on the sides.

At the same time, the wide and towering hull can also be seen - these steamships are unlikely to be warships, but obviously large ships designed to carry cargo.

"Carrying cargo on a steam wheel? Is the cost affordable? ”

"Which shipping company's ship is this?"

"Is it the regimental dragon flag hanging on it? Could it be that the prince is coming? ”

"Is it the king of Japan? Some time ago, I heard that the samurai regiment of New Japan had received a letter, hoping that the king of Japan would go to New Japan to take up the town. ”

"Nope! It can't be the king of Japan. ”、

"Hehe, you don't know, this must be King Qin!!"

"King Qin?"

"That's right! The King of Qin wants to take over Jinzhou, and in the future, Jinzhou Mansion will be the territory of the new Qin Kingdom! ”

"That said. The imperial court is about to start working on the North American continent! ”

Word spreads.

The entire harbor crowd cheered up.

Quite a few people even shouted.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live Daming!"

"Long live China 1!!"

"Open up the new continent and make immortal achievements!"

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect hundreds of states in the New World!"

"To the Mississippi River Plains!! That's the land that really valued!! ”

"It's comparable to the fertile farming soil of the Central Plains! Now it's all my Chinese people! ”

The news of the arrival of the King of Qin obviously stimulated the mood of the Han people in Xiazhou, and all kinds of nationalist slogans made Bai Ning and Shen Song in the crowd look a little unpleasant.

Bai Ning is the former Qing Shengqing general Aixin Jueluo. Lin Ning, Shen Song was the deputy capital of the Northeast Eight Banners and Blue Flags.

Now the two have come to Xiazhou and set up a sugarcane farm.

also opened a coolie in the port - many of the Northeast Eight Banners who escaped from the Northeast changed their names and surnames, followed Lin Ning, and now it is Bai Ning, and they started trading with Bai Ning, who loves Xinjueluo.

Anyone who can work hard in the port must have some underworld methods.

The remnants of the Northeast Eight Banners couldn't defeat the Ming army in a war.

But when he came to bully and bully the underworld, he still held a handle, so now Bai Ning is also a talkative white man in Xiazhou Port.

"It's really Zhu Er who came here!"

Next to Bai Ning, Song Shan, who had changed her name to Shen Song, said in a low voice.

"Emperor Zhu is really going to do something to the New World."

Bai Ning sighed and said.

"Humph! Sending an eighteen-year-old little doll with no hair to lead the army, this Emperor Zhu is afraid that he will be dizzy. Shen Song said coldly.

Bai Ning shook his head slightly: "I can't say that, I heard that this Zhu Erpo has the ability, haven't you heard of it, many people privately compare the second child of the Zhu family to Li Shimin!" ”

"Li Shimin led the troops at the age of eighteen, and Zhu Er also led the troops at the age of eighteen. Hehe, but there can be a few Li Shimin in history! Shen Song sneered.

"It doesn't matter if Zhu Er is Li Shimin or not, what matters is them."

Bai Ning nodded at the fanatical people on the docks.

"There are so many fanatical people under Li Shimin's hands?"

Shen Song was silent when he heard this.

After a long time, he said helplessly: "The current Han people are as fierce as they are."

Shen Song was sometimes in a trance.

Are these fierce people really Han Chinese?

Everyone has a gun, everyone dares to fight, everyone wants to fight!

If the Han people are really so fierce, how did the ancestors enter the customs?

Right now.

A ladder was lowered on a large ship.

Right now.

The black-clothed catchers of the Xiazhou City Patrol Division came in line with short sticks and revolvers pinned to their waists.

"His Royal Highness King Qin arrived, all of them retreated, and left the port dock for more than one hundred and fifty meters! Civilians bend down, nobles salute, soldiers or retired soldiers salute! ”

A green-robed civil official holding a loudspeaker shouted loudly.

Soon.

The crowd of onlookers began to salute to welcome the arrival of Zhu Laoer.

Etiquette is mostly not very standard.

There are also many bent civilians who have bent their waists, but their eyes are very unruly to the front.

At this time.

From a giant steamer, a young man wearing a Ming army uniform and a crown on his head stepped down from the ship, and behind him, two sturdy guards held two large flags.

One is the Great Bright Sun and Moon Flag.

One is the banner of the King of Qin.

These people of Xiazhou, who had no rules, began to chatter again.

"What a look!"

"Yes, yes, it's almost carved out of the same mold as the current saint in the portrait."

"No wonder some people call him Zhu Shimin"

"Hehe, Emperor Taizong of Tang was also the King of Qin before."

The catchers in Xia Prefecture also had a headache when they heard the chaotic discussions, but they really didn't care about these gun-wielding people, so they could only let it go.

At this time, Dai Qu, the magistrate of Xiazhou City, was also dressed neatly and came to greet him.

"Xiaguan Daiqu, meet His Royal Highness!"

Dai Qu was also in a trance for the first time when he saw Zhu Laoer, and almost thought that he had seen Emperor Zhu in person - before coming to Xiazhou Danzhi City, he had heard Emperor Zhu personally come to teach at Daohua University.

He was one of the first graduates of Daohua University.

I still have a certain understanding of Emperor Zhu, the teacher of Daohua University.

"Excuse me." Zhu Yixin's face was grim.

"Mayor Dai, can Xiazhou City prepare coal and fresh water and other material supplements?"

When Dai Qu heard this, he began to shake his head in his heart.

This Zhu Lao Er looks like Emperor Zhu, but his personality is not like it at all.

Xu has been in the army for too long, and his whole style of acting is completely military, he is like a general, not a prince.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not so similar to Emperor Zhu.

But that kind of character that smiles at everyone.。

On the contrary, it is almost exactly the same as that of Emperor Zhu

These two brothers.

An appearance like Lao Tzu.

One is like Lao Tzu.

And from the fact that Zhu Lao Er has been working hard and straightforward when he first came, it seems that he has a style of doing business.

He. It's definitely not Zhu Shimin.

The so-called threat to the crown prince.

I'm afraid it's just the speculation of some ignorant people.
