The sound of cannons on the sea was loud.
Scattered smoke dotted among the sail battleships, Kamehameha was making its final struggle.
"Fire! Fire!"
He roared like a maniac.
It only took the Hawaiian Islands 20 or 30 years to go from tribe to industry, and everything is so prosperous.
Kamehameha can take advantage of the European War to rob colonial transport ships everywhere to strengthen himself.
Those European colonists now have too much to take care of themselves, and their control over colonies around the world has dropped to the lowest level in history.
But Kamehameha shouldn't have done anything, and he offended Ming.
The Ming Dynasty is now idle and engaged in infrastructure construction, but this does not mean that the prosperous age is coming and it will be put away and put into storage.
On the contrary, in order to ensure future maritime hegemony, new technologies are always given priority to surface forces.
As soon as Kamehameha left the novice village, he messed with the wrong people.
Failure has become his foregone conclusion.
Dozens of iron eggs were thrown into the sea, causing dozens of small plants to splash with water.
These water splashes are still far away from the coastal defense ships and cannot pose a threat to the coastal defense ships at all.
And often if a coastal defense ship makes a successful hit, killing a group of people is considered the best result.
"Boom~"
Another cannonball was fired, but due to some angle problems, the cannonball did not hit the sail.
Instead, it exploded at the waterline on the left side of the ship.
The hull of the ship was directly exploded, and seawater mixed with sawdust flew everywhere, followed by a rapid influx of seawater.
Fortunately, these natives were not too stupid. They closed the cabin door tightly and sealed it with some kind of viscous mixture and wooden strips.
He Changxu was very satisfied with what he saw. He almost had to reimburse the entire ship, which would cost a lot of labor.
"Aim accurately and slowly. We have plenty of time."
As time went by, the fleets of the Kingdom of Hawaii lost their mobility, and these ships with damaged sails parked quietly on the sea.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the subsequent coastal defense ships converged with He Changxu, and then began to capture these indigenous people.
"Are you the king of the Hawaiian Kingdom? Your Hawaiian Kingdom has been established for less than a year... It's a pity that it will soon be destroyed."
On the coastal defense ship, Kamehameha was kneeling on the deck with chains all over his body, and He Changxu circled around him several times.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, He Changxu wasn't angry, because Kamehameha was gagging.
"I will come to my country tomorrow. Your Majesty is a kind man, and the last thing he wants to do is see others suffer. Come on, let's sink them all into the sea."
He Changxu waved his hand, and two soldiers carried Kamehameha to the side of the ship, and two large iron balls were attached to his anklets.
And beside him are his children and his confidant generals.
Following He Changxu's order, these people were pushed into the sea by the soldiers.
The coastal defense ship waited on the sea for a while to prevent any chosen one from breaking free and floating up.
Then, a dozen coastal defense ships waited for the task force to rush in, and then began to attack the Hawaiian Islands.
The Hawaiian Islands consists of several large islands, and the task force is preparing to clean them one by one from south to north.
A regiment of more than 2,000 land troops first landed on the southernmost main island, which has the largest indigenous population and is also where the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hawaii develops.
Zhao Tiezhu stepped onto the land, the medal on his chest sparkling. He touched the sweat on his forehead that had been burned by the scorching sun and sighed.
"I am an artillery officer, why should I lead these infantry?"
Although his voice was not high, the officers on the left and right heard him clearly and glared at him.
"Why, do you guys who fuck you look down on us guys who shoot guns?"
"If all the Xinxiang officers hadn't been recalled to Jinling, would it be your turn?"
"That's right, Lao Zhao, you should be grateful for being sent to our Xinxiang to train artillery. Otherwise, how would you have the chance to fight?"
Zhao Tiezhu thought about it, and this was also the reason. He nodded and said to the officers on the left and right with a smile: "You also know that I, Zhao Tiezhu, used to be a rough man. Sometimes I speak more bluntly, so don't be angry.
I didn’t say anything, but when the holidays come, I’ll treat you to a pot of army pot and a drink! "
"The army blame? I still don't understand. Is the army blame the Ming Army's troops or the pseudo-Qing troops?"
"What's so confusing about this? Didn't the Imperial Guards in the Forbidden City in Peking often send telegrams saying that Jiaqing had to eat two meals of army pot a day?"
"That's not right. When I was still in Xinxiang in the Ming Dynasty, some soldiers stewed everything in a pot. Wasn't it also a military pot?"
"You guys...is there any difference between a random pot of stew and a military stew? For me, drinking is serious. I drink Maotai!"
"Hey, you kid, where are you with me? How expensive is Maotai? Can I afford it with my monthly salary of 5 silver coins? I'll treat you to a drink today. When you wake up tomorrow, we will all be sitting on the chairs of the military court. ”
Zhao Tiezhu raised his brows, shook his head and waved his hands, and said: "At most Erguotou, you can eat as much as you want, drink it or not."
"Really? Last time I went to your bedroom, I saw three bottles on your table, and they were collector's editions."
"Can it be the same? His Majesty gave it to me because he praised me for my good shooting.
Is this wine for drinking? It has to be treasured and offered. It’s not for drinking anyway.
It’s only Erguotou, so you can decide whether to drink it or not. "
"Drink, I'll drink! Erguotou, just Erguotou..."
The eyes of the officers were full of envy. The wine His Majesty sent was only a fire in the ancestral tomb, but it was just a smoke that was not treated like this.
Everyone was envious for a while and no longer hesitated.
He stood at the port and watched the soldiers land, and boxes of supplies were transported ashore.
These include old machines shipped from Xinxiang, which will play a huge role in the subsequent production of the Hawaiian Islands.
The officers were chatting for a while, and suddenly the conversation changed to the mission of this landing.
The territory of Ming Dynasty has been updated again.
The Ming Dynasty has gained a strategic fulcrum in the middle of the Pacific. For many years to come, a main fleet will be stationed here to deal with various emergencies.
The task of stationing in Hawaii was assigned to the Second Fleet, which was temporarily manned and without ships.
But before that, the transformation of the Hawaiian Islands will also start in advance.
There must be a huge port and a supporting heavy industrial base to provide maintenance for the fleet.
At the same time, naval dormitories, roads, shops, residential areas, etc. must be built, all of which are inseparable from people.
The fundamental way to realize the value of life is to create value through labor and dedication.
Daming felt that these indigenous people must have lost their direction in life after their country was destroyed, and they were confused all day long.
As a beacon to the world and a country of civilization and etiquette, Ming Dynasty must rescue these confused indigenous people.
As long as you participate in the construction of Ming Dynasty and achieve selfless dedication and labor, you can realize the value of life.
The indigenous people realized the value of life, and Ming Dynasty achieved rapid development.
This is the legendary win-win!
