"Quick, you lazy pig, you can't even chop wood. When will the palace be built?"
"Pa bang bang~"
In a workshop, an Englishman held a long whip and swung it towards several French people.
Several Frenchmen wanted to dodge, but the short shackles made it impossible for them to avoid the British whips.
One of them was in pain and couldn't help roaring.
"Damn it, John, do you have to help these indigenous people to harm our compatriots in Europe?"
John was stunned for a moment, then became angrier and struck harder.
"Who is your compatriot? I am a British one. You French invaded us. I can't wait to beat you to death right now."
If it weren't for the workshop's production requirements, you would never survive the next second. "
John said, and the whip came down again.
Several French people couldn't stand it anymore, so they endured the pain and lowered their voices and said to John: "Damn it, John, don't you want to escape? We can obviously cooperate..."
John showed a smile, leaving several people scratching their heads. He said, "Why do you want to escape? For me, this is paradise!"
Then, screams of pain were heard again in the workshop.
In another workshop, a Frenchman also waved his whip at several Englishmen.
It can be seen from his smiling face that he is quite happy.
The British Empire promoted divisions and checks and balances in the colonies, and Kamehameha also learned this fine tradition.
The prisoners were divided into dozens of groups, with the English supervising the French, or the French supervising the British.
After a few days of practice, Kamehameha found that the effect was surprisingly good. Not only was the output high, but they would not even think about escaping.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Kamehameha's fleet replenished supplies and set off to become pirates again.
This time, the fleet went further south.
Near Molden Island they encountered three small sailing ships.
The first mate observed carefully for a while and found that there were no signs of other ships around.
The three ships seemed to have discovered this strange fleet and began to turn around and prepare to leave.
"Your Majesty the King, are we going to rush in and rob?"
Kamehameha held up his telescope and saw that these small sailboats were flying the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, which made them very recognizable among the great powers.
"This is Ming Dynasty's ship, they are very vigilant."
Kamehameha lowered his binoculars, frowning as two voices in his head tormented him.
After a few minutes, he made up his mind.
How can one make a fortune without plundering?
"Send the order, we will follow."
The six sailing battleships began to speed up and sailed southward behind the three ships.
As time went by, Kamehameha discovered that there were more and more small sailboats on the sea, and there were even several small boats puffing out black smoke.
These ships all have one thing in common, that is, they are looking for something on the sea, or boarding small islands for inspection.
"What are they looking for?"
Kamehameha murmured to himself.
At this time, a small boat with black smoke approached the fleet.
Kamehameha also got a closer look at the boat.
The boat is more than 30 meters long, with a metallic light all over its body, and a tall chimney in the center of the hull.
Kamehameha observed it carefully and confirmed that the ship had a small cannon on the bow, and he came to a clear understanding.
Although it is a steel battleship like the Dingyuan-class battleship, it only has one small cannon and should not pose a threat.
At this time, He Changxu, who was stationed in Australia, opened the door and walked out of the command tower of the coastal defense ship. He waved to the unfamiliar fleet.
After trying several languages, He Changxu confirmed that this indigenous fleet should have been tortured by the British Empire and actually knew English.
"We are from the Ming Dynasty and are on duty in the nearby waters. Please leave on your own to avoid any misunderstanding."
"It can be seen from your flag that you are from the Ming Dynasty. We are the King's Fleet of the Kingdom of Hawaii and are also on duty in the nearby waters."
Kamehameha saw that the boats around him had little fighting capacity, and his attitude became tough.
The atmosphere between the two sides also became tense.
He Changxu has been working hard for seven or eight days, spending these days on the coastal defense ship. He dreams of getting His Royal Highness Prince Xue back as soon as possible.
But today, his eyes were opened.
An indigenous country took advantage of the changes in the world situation and became independent from the colonizers.
Then I don’t know how high the sky is or how high it is.
How dare you challenge Daming on the sea? Well, well, let's play like this, right?
He Changxu was about to order several coastal defense ships to use high-explosive bombs to teach these black things.
However, Kamehameha's next words stunned He Changxu.
"Are you looking for someone?"
This sentence is actually a guess made by Kamehameha.
If the Ming Dynasty could send so many ships to search on the sea, then the identity of what the Ming Dynasty is looking for must be unusual.
And if you are looking for a person, then the identity of this person may not be that simple.
The Ming Newspaper did not deliver newspapers to the Hawaiian Islands, and Kamehameha had no idea what the Ming Dynasty was looking for.
Especially when he expressed his conjecture, he clearly saw the sharp look in He Changxu's eyes.
So Kamehameha decided to cheat.
He smiled, his dark face showing his yellowed teeth.
"I just said that this person's identity is not that simple. No matter how I interrogate him, he just won't tell me.
Alas, I am actually a good person, why doesn’t he explain it properly? "
Speaking of this, He Changxu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Prince Xue of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zaiming's uncle, and the future emperor of Yekaterina Castle, was tortured by a group of natives!
He Changxu gritted his teeth and pointed at Kamehameha and said.
“You better hope he’s okay, otherwise it’s going to be the end of the Hawaiian Kingdom!
Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said! "
"Ah haha, don't worry, he's not dead yet, but others may be."
Kamehameha seemed to be sure of victory. Important people were always followed by a group of guards.
He didn't know how many people were around this person, but it would never be wrong to use "other people" as a general reference.
Next, the two sides entered the negotiation stage.
Kamehameha's idea is very simple, to defraud some benefits first and then stop, paving the way for the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Therefore, he asked for some steam engines, some industrial machines, and even a coastal defense ship.
Kamehameha didn't know how important the person Daming was looking for was, so in addition to asking for a lot of industrial machines, he only dared to ask for one coastal defense ship.
According to his thinking, industrialization is just that.
What can't be made with a machine?
The fleet returned with a coastal defense ship. He Changxu sat on the command tower, his fingers turning white.
Citing the need for formal negotiations, He Changxu requested to follow the fleet into the Kingdom of Hawaii. At the same time, he also had a very important thing to confirm.
He must confirm that His Royal Highness Prince Snow is still alive.
