Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 307

The red sun is rising.

The fog on the sea gradually dissipated.

After a storm.

The waters near Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean have calmed down.

It really looks all right.

The sun splashed on the island of Hawaii, waking up everything on the island.

This island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is bathed in sunshine, and the sandy beaches on the sea surface are shining with golden light.

Sunshine, sand, coconut trees.

It looks so beautiful.

Just now.

One sailboat after another appeared on the horizon where the sea and sky meet in the distance.

First the top of the mast, then the sails, and then the big ship rolling over the sea.

The flag of Spain was hoisted on the mast of the big ship.

They came from the west, obviously the remnants of the Spanish New Spain fleet that was defeated in the Ryukyu waters.

"That should be the island of Hawaii."

Maloska, who was holding a telescope in his hand, stared at the island bathed in golden light in the distance and said.

Valeriano was also watching the island ahead.

The discovery of the Hawaiian Island was very late. They knew the existence of the island from the mouths of the Chinese and Japanese.

But not many people have actually been there.

Valianu spread out the map and began to write and draw on it.

Finally he raised his head and said: "Strategic position is indeed very important. No wonder the Chinese have sent several expeditions to find this island. '

"The Chinese expedition may have found the west coast of America." Malloska sighed.

If the New Spain fleet is not destroyed.

Spain could occupy the Hawaiian Islands and prevent the Chinese from entering the Americas.

but now.

They have lost this power.

Even though they took the island of Hawaii.

The remaining light warships did not dare to attack the Chinese immigrant fleet easily.

because
Ships floating on the sea in this era are all powerfully armed.

The firepower of the artillery equipped on these light warships may not be comparable to that of large merchant ships-in fact, in this era, the dividing line between merchant ships and warships was not particularly clear in many cases.

"We must let Madrid know the Chinese's ambitions for America and their capabilities. This island will be very important!"

Staring at the location of the Hawaiian Islands on the map, Valeriano took a deep breath and said.

From the position point of view.

If the news from the East about the Japan-North America route is true, then.

The warships based on the island of Hawaii can go north from Japan to North American ships to break diplomatic relations! !

"The key question is, can we hold Hawaii?"

Malloska said.

'If you can keep it but can't, you have to fight it first. I heard that the local aboriginal chieftain is ruling the island now. Send someone to contact them first, and say that we apply to enter the port! '

Valeriano rolled his eyes, and the sense of superiority brought by the old colonists in the face of the indigenous knowledge made him quickly regain the feeling of a "superior person".

It seems that the haze of defeat in the Ryukyu waters has been swept away at this time.

The cheerful rhythm of Hawaiian drums sounded in the palace of the king of Hawaii, the conqueror of Hawaii, the son of the sea, and Kamehameha the Great.

Under the main hall on the top of the coconut tree leaves, there is a group of beauties who are about [-] catties shaking their brown fat with the beat of the drums, showing their amazing reproduction to the officials and nobles of the Kingdom of Hawaii present. value.

King Kamehameha was trapped in the pile of two four hundred catties Hawaiian beauties, and he didn't show the slightest interest in this glamorous scene.

The burly King Kamehameha completed his conquest of the entire Hawaiian Islands last year.

Conquered all the land known to the Hawaiians.

This Kamehameha the Great is a figure like Qin Shihuang in China.

Conquered all known lands and accomplished unprecedented feats.

However, Kamehameha, who is known as the great emperor, has not been very happy during this time.

Because he thought he was already the king of the world.

As a result, a guy named Cook came last year, driving a big boat from an unknown distance, and told him that there are many countries in this world.

When he asked Cook who was stronger between those countries and his empire.

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of the guy named Cook's mouth.

Although this look is fleeting, but Kamehameha is no one, he is the greatest emperor in the history of Hawaii.

Of course, the contempt of the other party can be sensed.

Resisting the idea of ​​peeling off the other party's leather sacrifice - because from Cook's hands, he got a lot of metal tools.

These metal tools let him understand the power of these outsiders, and he tried not to provoke conflicts until he knew the details of the other party.

After the navigator named Cook left.

Another group of people came.

This group of people made the emperor even more unhappy.

This group of people claimed to be from the "country in the middle of the world".

Middle Kingdom!

What an arrogant claim.

The king of the Middle Kingdom calls himself the Son of Heaven!

Kamehameha breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Well, there is not much difference between the Son of Heaven and the Son of the Sea.

It seems that the empire he ruled is still quite powerful.

Think about it too.

He is the only person who has ever conquered the islands.

is the greatest conqueror of all time.

Although the Son of Heaven of the Middle Kingdom may indeed have a very large army - judging from the size of that fleet, there may be five or six thousand troops!
more than yourself.

But not much!

The Kingdom of Hawaii can also mobilize two or three thousand strong men to fight! !
And it sounds like the central country is very far away, so there is no need to worry too much about the other party sending an army.

After no security concerns.

Kamehameha, the son of the sea, began to think about how to get more iron objects from these outsiders.

Hawaiians have a small amount of iron.

Ironware is very precious in Hawaii.

But the navigator named Cook exchanged this precious iron for a large amount of wood.

A kind of fragrant wood all over the mountains and plains.

What is said to be called sandalwood
I don't know what value it is, so that the guy named Cook is willing to exchange it with iron.

And who are the people from the Middle Kingdom?

Also very interested in these woods.

But they seem to have other tasks, so instead of cutting these logs, they exchanged iron tools for a lot of food, and they also like to hold hands with some thin women, and even exchanged iron tools for holding hands-I don’t know about these things The people in the country don't want so many plus-size beauties, but want those thin women.

I really don't enjoy it.

While Kamehameha was thinking.

One of the emperor's elite guards, wearing coconut shell underwear and coconut shell goggles, came in a hurry.

"My lord, there are people from the sea again! There are a lot of people!"

Kamehameha was taken aback.

What's going on recently.

Why are there so many people from the sea?
