Chapter 206 No, it’s not an invasion, it’s just an ordinary rebellion! (Please subscribe, please vote)

August 8, the eighth year of the Taiping Period in the Ming Dynasty, Honolulu Harbor, Kingdom of Hawaii.

The battleship Hero, the armored cruiser Haohan, the cruiser Lushun, the cruiser Tianjin, the destroyer Xinhui, the destroyer Shunde, the Yamato "floating hotel", and the Musashi "floating hotel" lined up in a row, one after another,

Snow-white waves rolled up and slowly sailed into the harbor. This port is similar to the famous Pearl Harbor ten kilometers away. They are difficult terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Pearl Harbor is a narrow inlet and a vast body of water.

, can cram an entire Pacific Fleet! The Port of Honolulu is much smaller, and the terrain is much narrower. It is a small island stuck at the entrance of a shallow bay like a thermos stopper, thus forming a narrow

A slender stretch of natural sheltered water.

Before the white colonists arrived in Honolulu, it was already a port. However, because the geographical location of the Hawaiian Islands in the age of sailing was not superior, it was even a bit useless - it happened to be in the windless zone, in the windless zone.

Before the advent of steamships, few sailing ships would dock in Honolulu, so the ships that entered and exited Honolulu Harbor were all Native Hawaiian ships. Of course, in the age of sail, few Western colonists would care about the Hawaiian Islands.

It is a small island isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, until the beginning of the 19th century, it was still not colonized by anyone.

During the years when Native Hawaiians had limited contact with the outside world, a "great emperor" emerged on the Hawaiian Islands, namely Kamehameha I, the founder of the Kamehameha dynasty that now rules the islands.

However, this great emperor who defeated all the half-L natives in Hawaii had not enjoyed the fruits of victory for a few years. After defeating Napoleon, the British Empire and the Ming Empire came to Kamehameha I.

The "Black Ship Visited Hong Kong" also forced a country to give Kamehameha an unequal treaty. The British aimed their cannons at the palace of Kamehameha I, expressing their desire to protect his safety. The Ming Dynasty's warships

Blocked the exit of Honolulu Port, expressing its desire to protect the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii from infringement.

Kamehameha, who had been a ruthless man all his life, was really helpless in the face of this dimensionality reduction attack from imperialism. The muzzle-loading guns and smoothbore cannons he purchased from Eastern and Western merchants when he was campaigning on the Hawaiian Islands could not even deal with it.

It cannot build an ironclad ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.

However, in the end, the two imperialists negotiated an unequal treaty that was relatively equal to the Kamehameha dynasty. It only provided for the open door, extraterritoriality, agreed tariffs, freedom of preaching, establishment of concessions, and embargo.

Weapons, one-sided most-favored-nation, etc. In short, except for the land cession and compensation, all were used by Kamehameha I.

Of course, such a man who has been in the limelight for half his life is not willing to spend the rest of his life in such a miserable way. So he thought of a clever trick to control the emperor with imperialism. In order to control the Ming Dynasty, the two unreasonable people of Great Britain

He simply bit the bullet and brought in the Japanese to help restrain Mingying.

Therefore, in the commercial port next to the Honolulu Port, there is a situation where three concessions, one large, two small, and three are standing side by side. The largest concession among them is of course the Japanese Concession. The Honolulu Japanese Concession is Japan's overseas concession.

The only concession in Honolulu is of course more important. Moreover, there are many poor people in Japan, and groups of people go to Hawaii to work and start businesses. The Japanese Concession in Honolulu also becomes larger and larger due to their efforts. And the Ming Concession and the British Concession

Although the concession occupies a small area, it is well built and has a bit of Chinese and British style.

Zhuge Weidao and Zheng Guoxian were both standing on the bridge of the Hero, holding up telescopes and looking at everything in front of them.

Honolulu, whose Chinese name is Honolulu, appeared in front of them.

With blue water and white sand, Honolulu City, the Kamehameha dynasty's castle built by Japan's Sumitomo House, has been expanded several times and has become very majestic and majestic. It stands among a lot of cluttered local indigenous houses. A huge Japanese-style castle

It looked dazzling, at least that's what Zhuge Weidao thought. When he saw the city of Honolulu, he felt as if the Japanese had occupied Hawaii!

The Ming Concession and the British Concession are just to the east of this Japanese-style castle. The houses in the Ming Concession have white walls and black tiles, making them look neat and wealthy. The streets are not wide, but they are enough for carriages and cars to pass.

The British Concession is filled with small white and red western-style buildings, which have a typical European colonial flavor. They reflect the sunlight near the equator, making them appear peaceful and peaceful.

The Japanese Concession is just south of this Japanese-style castle, next to the pier. It is a large area filled with low Japanese-style houses and narrow streets. It is also the busiest of the three major concessions, with people coming and going on the streets.

The streets were full of pedestrians, and the shops on both sides of the street were open.

On the pier, Zhuge Weidao suddenly discovered two steamships of four to five thousand tons that looked quite familiar. They seemed to be the two ya-pan ships he encountered in the Kii Waterway!

Oh, it kind of looks like it. If you look closely, it doesn't look particularly similar.

When he was about to take a closer look, Zheng Guoxian suddenly said to Zhuge Weidao: "Brother Daozi, look, the Queen Mother of Hawaii, the British Minister, the Ming Dynasty Minister, and the Japanese Minister are all coming to the pier to greet us. Come together.

There is also the Royal Guards of Hawaii, which were trained by instructors sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and Zhuge Weidao also turned his eyes. Sure enough, he saw a fat official wearing a Ming Dynasty official robe on the pier, wiping the sweat from his face, and several tall white men.

Officers were standing next to him, and a guy dressed as a Japanese samurai was standing next to a fat indigenous woman wearing a golden barrel skirt made of very "saving" materials. A group of native Hawaiian soldiers dressed as Japanese ashigaru, carrying

Wearing a Japanese-made breech-loading rifle, he was standing around lazily.

Zhuge Weidao sneered: "Okay, these Hawaiian natives quite trust Brother Shenshan of the Japanese devils. Everything has been arranged?"

Zheng Guoxian smiled and replied: "It's all arranged. This is the work of the Army Intelligence Bureau. You and the Navy just need to cooperate."

He paused, and then said: "The dirty work will be done by Saigo Takamori, who will lead the northern samurai to mobilize the Japanese expatriates in Honolulu and the pro-Japanese elements among the natives. It will be like an ordinary rebellion.

Likewise, the Queen Regent of the Kamehameha dynasty and the teenage king would all run to the Yamato with the Japanese minister to seek refuge. The British minister and the foreign devils in the British Concession would probably also come to seek refuge.

After they board the ship, the cannons on Honolulu will fire at the Hero, but don't worry, they are just old-fashioned front-loading cannons and of no use. At that time, you will only have to take the Kamehameha royal family and the British ambassador with you.

, British expats ran off to Mexico together.”

Zhuge Weidao nodded and lowered his voice: "Don't you need an accident of falling into the water?"

"Falled into the water?" Zheng Guoxian was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Brother Daozi, you really know how to tell a joke that they are going to die. Doesn't it look like we invaded the Kingdom of Hawaii? How could we, the great dynasty of tomorrow, do this?

Doing this kind of thing that seizes people's land and destroys their heirs? So what is going to happen tonight is a rebellion launched by the progressives of the Kingdom of Hawaii! This is the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Hawaii. We, the Ming Dynasty, cannot interfere. We only put it out of humanitarianism.

Expelled members of the Kamehameha royal family were taken from the Kingdom of Hawaii.

On the way to Mexico, Michiko is also responsible for convincing the queen mother of the Kamehameha dynasty that she is the dark and fat woman. You only need to convince her to testify before the Mexican Emperor Agustin I that she was raped by the rebels of her country.

If you overturn it, the next thing will be easier to handle."
