When Friedrich's fleet returned to Hawaii, the natives began to crowd out the Austrians at the behest of British, French, and American merchants.

Of course, they would not dare to harass the Austrians directly, after all, Friedrich's previous wave of sweeps almost broke the backbone of the natives.

However, they still dared to attack those Nanming workers, after all, they didn't seem to be strong, and they were all safe and self-contained when they worked on the island before.

Persimmon naturally had to pick up the soft pinch, so those natives hit the iron plate.

In fact, these workers were actually the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so the organization and combat effectiveness were not at all what those natives could imagine.

And most of them have lived on Kalimantan for a long time, so they are very familiar with the topography of the rainforest islands, and there is no fear of Austrians at all.

At the same time, the Austrians on the island of Hawaii are not idiots, they all know very well that after solving the large number of Chinese laborers, they should be themselves next, so they directly opened a position to arm the Chinese laborers.

As for the soft policy promised to the natives before, all of them are nullified, after all, the other party's guns are all against the door of the head, and if you don't fight back, you won't get anything but laughter.

Of course, some of them have completed the conversion, or expressed a willingness to accept the conversion, they can work in a separate area.

If those tried to leave, or were involved in the battle against Austria, they were directly considered enemies and did not accept any surrender.

This was mandatory for Franz, after all, prisoners could be treated preferentially, but if one's own traitors were not punished, it would be both an insult to the loyal and a cruelty to the unfinished business.

In fact, Franz's worries were unnecessary, because the missionaries of this period did not have the disease of the Virgin Mary at all, and the long-term experience of "pyramid schemes" from various harsh environments in the world made them extremely sensitive to the perception of danger, and there was no moral burden at all.

As a result, an organized army of the Southern Ming Dynasty pursued the natives all over the mountains, and finally King Kamehameha III had to ask British, French, and American merchants to mediate.

However, due to the repeated and repeated cross-border behavior of the indigenous people, those so-called agreements have become waste paper.

After all, if you don't have to worry about food and clothing to work in Austria, then a sense of security has become the most urgent requirement. Therefore, the attack on the indigenous people by the Nanming laborers has not stopped, but it is no longer a blatant attack on the village.

Instead, the law of the jungle is changed, and any natives who do not follow the required path and any natives who may be armed or may have malicious intent will be considered enemies.

In fact, it is simply understood as vendetta, which is naturally not what Franz wants to see, because what he needs is a solid transit point in the Pacific Ocean, not a blank field.

Fortunately, Friedrich discovered this situation when he returned to the island, and after another violent beating of the local natives, he officially declared the "hegemony" of the Austrian Empire on Oahu.

There are a total of 8 large islands in the Kingdom of Hawaii, namely Kauai, Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Kahulawe, and the Island of Hawaii.

With the exception of Niijau and Kahulawe, and Lanai, which is not suitable for large-scale agricultural production, the other islands are blessed with excellent natural conditions.

So Princess Sneca's suggestion was to buy land from Niihan, Kahurawey, and Lanai, and then exchange it with the natives on Oahu.

In fact, the natives of Oahu do not want to live in fear, and although the three islands are not suitable for large-scale agricultural production, they are more than enough to be self-sufficient and can also run some herding business.

The two hit it off, and soon most of the natives signed a new exchange agreement.

The natives who wanted to remain on Oahu either surrendered their land to become peasants or had to live on separate Austrian lands.

The forces of Britain, France, and the United States wanted to make trouble, but their own forces could not radiate here. The two visits of the Austrian Imperial Navy had made them realize the gap between them.

Merchants are all seeking money, and there are few people who really want to fight the Austrian Empire to the end. Moreover, at this time, Hawaii's status was far less important than that of later generations, and people did not realize the value of Pearl Harbor, an excellent military port in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

So everyone shook hands and made peace, and continued to bully the Hawaiian natives.

The most ruthless of them were the Americans, because they were the latest to come and were the most despised by the powers. In fact, during this period, the colonists attached the most importance to mineral resources, so those precious minerals have long been famous, and even volcanic ash has been ordered by Britain and France.

Therefore, the American colonist caravan had no choice but to directly attack the indigenous tribes that had resources, and let the latter force a contract with the former.

The reason why the Americans dared to do this was because they had access to the Oregon region, and their power could radiate directly to the Pacific Ocean.

And whether Britain or France sent a fleet to Hawaii, it was really a matter of more than worth the loss, so even if they did, the scale was usually very small.

In several military operations against Hawaii by Britain and France in history, only 1-2 warships participated in an average of 1-2 warships.

On the one hand, Hawaii is really weak, on the other hand, it is also a cost issue, or that sentence at this time people have not yet realized the importance of this place.

Later, in addition to transferring a group of people from the mainland to manage Hawaii, Franz also brought in immigrants from Japan to develop the land and dilute the population of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the church was asked to convert the local natives into usable labor and land capitalists as much as possible, and Franz had to balance the local forces if he wanted to effectively control the Hawaiian region for a long time.

As the times progressed, the influence of the Church became weaker, and before that time Franz had to forge a new bond to maintain control over it.

On the other hand, after the Edowan Incident, the shogunate could only completely fall to the side of Austria, and Masahiro Abe even built a new shrine on a hill in Edo Castle under the guise of a shogun, called Tenjoten.

The previous "Flying Thunder" was actually made by Kagura for believers, which naturally made the shogunate grateful to Dade, but more importantly, she was also the Austrian minister to Japan at this time, as well as the regional manager of the Austrian Imperial Overseas Development Company.

Both the shogunate and the feudal lords of various regions had to go through Kagura if they wanted to establish contact with the Austrian Empire.

Therefore, the heavenly shrine where she lives is also called "Xiao Ao".

Masahiro Abe's traitorous behavior was also opposed by the merchants, and some even planned to punish him.

Naturally, the result was to no avail, after all, the strength of the shogunate had been restored at this time, and Masahiro Abe knew what the outcome would be if he did so.

Death as a traitor is an inevitable end, but ants are still greedy for life, let alone the supreme leader of a country?

As for Tokugawa Iekei, as in history, he was an incompetent and powerless general, and he preferred cherry blossom viewing and drinking rather than fighting for power and watching women fight for power.

Although he is a rare long-lived general (lived to be 61 years old), he has been burdened with the reputation of mediocrity, weakness, stupidity, and ignorance all his life.
