Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 669 Changes in Hawaii

  In the remaining two weeks

King Li Fushou of the Oceanic Kingdom and his queen ended their visit to Guangdong and Guangxi. They arrived in Shanghai on the battlecruiser Xuanwu. The prince of alcohol, Yizheng, is a mighty team of people.

  After continuously inspecting more than 10 young eagle schools in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Fushou returned to Gusu Mansion for a few days, and then he was ready to set off to Singapore, where the British Strait Governor's Mansion is located, and return to Australia via this place.

  Good news continues to come;

The prince of   Jin, Yizheng received the money and did things quickly. The prefect of Huai'an Gu Zhixue had a good character and outstanding political achievements.

  Zhenwei General Li Ping is brave and good at war, and has outstanding meritorious service. The Emperor Guangxu's grace was promoted to the second rank of Guangxi General Soldier, admiral, and admired the yellow mantle.

After this change of personnel, Guangxi General Li Ping returned to Nanning to receive the order. Gu Zhiwen, an envoy from Guangdong, led more than 10,000 elite Wuwei rear army, and went south to the north and south to defend the Wuwei Zuojun camp, while Wuwei Zuojun withdrew back to the country.

  In view of the complicated military situation of the former enemy, the generals have heavy responsibilities.

  Emperor Guangxu’s grace was promoted to Guangdong’s propaganda envoy Gu Zhiwen as the commander of the North of Vietnam. He wore a yellow mantle, named "Dorozo Baturu", and coordinated the command of the Qing army in the North of Vietnam.

This is Li Fushou's handwriting. In the spirit of not worrying about the two masters, Li Fushou gave Prince Yizhen 15,000 pounds and 500 taels of gold. The gold was bought to wear yellow jackets and the title of Baturu, and it was clearly marked with a price.

The prince of alcohol, Yizheng, spent more than three months in Guangdong, Guangdong and Guangxi. He sold officials and conferred noble titles. Only the fourth-rank commander (waiting lack) sold more than 20, and the seventh-ranking county magistrate (waiting lack). There are hundreds of prefects and seven or eight county magistrates. They have raided nearly 5 million taels of silver, which is full of profits.

  The so-called happiness creates sorrow. Just a few days after arriving in the Shanghai Sea, Prince Jin Yizhen violently died at a banquet and went to see God for his life.

  Fortunately, he took care of the Gu's affairs first, otherwise it would really be a waste of water.

As for those who bought the actual prefects, the unlucky ghosts of the county magistrates are miserable. Now that the prince is violent, the original promise is naturally lost. If the money that was spent on the white money is gone, the next house is lost, and it is lost. There are not a few of them, it is really wanting to cry without tears!

  Gusu City, Fuyuan

  Fuyuan is the leading Jiangnan characteristic garden building in Gusu City, and it is also a royal family property. Li Fushou bought this garden 13 years ago. Together with the surrounding land, after years of continuous construction and expansion, it has its current scale.

By the Suzhou River in Fuyuan, there are already more than 30 wooden boats full of goods, all of which are antique jade, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, rare books and antique furniture that have been accumulated over the years. There loaded a Shanghai ship and went to Australia.

  Li Fushou sat in the courtyard in a loose attire, chatting with Zhu Wei, Earl of Mingyuan.

   "Awei, are all the people in your hometown settled?"

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. This time I returned to the hometown to repair the clan ancestral hall. I asked the ancestor tablet of my housetou and gathered hundreds of young children of the clan. From now on, I will take root in Australia and develop and prepare to make great efforts to build the earldom. Everything is suitable, just wait for the gong to start."

   "Well, we Chinese will never forget our roots! No matter how far away from our homeland, it is like a kite flying high in the sky. There is always a thread tied there. This feeling of innocence can never be erased."

   "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not forget their roots."

"Well, it's up here. You wait for me to return to Australia today. It is now the end of 1891. I hope you can set up the Victorian government framework next year and make a smooth transition between military management and civil administration. The threat of getting into big trouble is eliminated in the bud, don't let it overflow."

  Zhu Wei replied respectfully;

  "Your Majesty, the minister has a detailed plan and plans to adopt seven major measures to promote national integration.

  First, through policy measures to encourage white women to marry Chinese veterans or immigrants, and guide retired white naturalized soldiers to marry Chinese women, otherwise, their meritorious field will be allocated to remote and barren places for punishment.

  This policy will not resort to words, but will be implemented as a priority.

  Secondly, the state of Victoria will expressly stipulate that all civil servants, police, internal affairs, urban management and other government functions are required to be proficient in bilingual dialogue between Chinese and English, and this is a basic requirement.

  This policy can exclude 90% of white residents. For them, proficiency in Chinese is undoubtedly a regional difficulty.

Third, extensively carry out Chinese education in primary and secondary schools, promote the values ​​and ethics of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, courage, forgiveness, sincerity, loyalty, filial piety, and timidity. The core is to promote the development of education and culture.

  Fourth, it advocates freedom of belief and encourages the coexistence of folk Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and churches for harmony and co-prosperity.

  Fifth, when financial resources permit, boarding education should be promoted in primary and secondary schools, and good ideas should start from the baby.

   Sixth, vigorously cultivate grassroots civil servants, teachers, police, judicial, cultural and other government staff from the Young Eagle School, and give priority to hiring veterans who have experienced blood wars in order to strengthen the cohesion of grassroots political power.

   Seventh, to fight iron, we still need our own hard work, pay attention to the construction of clean government departments and internal affairs and discipline departments, and remove a small number of corrupt elements and unqualified personnel from the civil servants.

  The above-mentioned immature ideas need to be gradually adapted in practice. Please learn from them. "

  After answering, Zhu Wei sat quietly, waiting for His Majesty’s comments in a rather nervous mood.

Li Fushou did not immediately respond. He looked into the distance and seemed to be fascinated for a while. After a while, he said in a faint voice; "If the method is good or not, you will only know after the specific implementation. Now that you are prepared, then let go of your hands and feet. Just do it, ten years of trees, a hundred years of tree people, we must always pay attention to education issues and persevere, this is the fundamental."

   "Zhu Wei has been taught, and he must do it according to his majesty's wishes."

"Victoria will hand it to you, and New South Wales will hand it to Wu Xuewen. You two will take the lead in setting up the state government and township in your work next year, but the focus of your work must be on eliminating drug abuse. This work is not being done now. In the future, it will be difficult to do it in full view, understand?"

  "Weichen understands that he will never dare to bear the burden of his majesty."

"Um…"

  Li Fushou picked up his teacup, and Zhu Wei gave a farewell gift with a vision and left the lush garden.

  The personal secretary Li Siyi who accompanied him sent a message from Oahu with a beam of joy, and he brought good news;

  The old woman retires and waits for her empty nest.

The old woman in the message refers to Queen Lirio Kalani, the regent of the Kingdom of the Hawaiian Islands. Since the death of Kalakava I in January 1891, the kingdom of the islands has been taken over by the descendants of King Lirio Kalani. In fact, she does not need it. What to do, there is actually nothing to do.

  In the entire Kingdom of Hawaii, this native royal family has no sense of existence.

The Hawaiian Wharf is contracted by American merchants. The island’s commerce is dominated by the Chinese. The sugar plantations are full of hibiscus laborers. The entire island is just that big, with a population of 20,000 to 30,000, not to mention the military, and the police only maintain law and order. Several people work part-time.

  The old woman retires. Naturally, Queen Lirio Kalani abdicated as planned. There are two ways out for her;

   One is to sell this indigenous kingdom and take the money and leave.

  The other is being ousted by angry people and leaving dingy.

  The cause of the storm was that several Citigroup sailors took turns to violent two Aboriginal girls who went out one evening, resulting in one death and one injury.

  Although the cases are very bad, they have not happened before. Most of them are handed over to the American Chamber of Commerce to deal with and compensate a little money.

  There must be no way for the Kingdom of Hawaii. You must know that cargo ships are not easy to mess with these days. Which cargo ship does not hide some long and short guns. If you have the opportunity, don't mind being a pirate, and the force is worth the leverage.

Unexpectedly, this time the incident was instigated by someone who was instigated, and the corpses of the indigenous girls who had been violently ravaged were carried on the parade, which aroused the great indignation of the local indigenous people, so riots such as mob beating, looting, looting and burning occurred, even endangering Lirio Cara Queen Nepal is personally safe.

  In the chaos, a Chinese businessman suggested to ask the Oahu garrison to suppress the riot and restore order.

  Queen Lirio Kalani said she was the lord of a country, but in fact she was an old indigenous woman. She had no knowledge and no brains, and she agreed with extreme fear.

  So, the urgent letter for help stamped with the king’s seal was sent out...

A company of soldiers quickly arrived on the island of Hawaii by boat from Oahu, accompanied by a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and quickly armed the local Chinese laborers and businessmen to form the "Hawaiian People's Self-Defense Force" to conduct a **** liquidation of the rioters. And suppression, the one who killed was called a corpse all over the field.

  In this way, the ethnic conflicts between the two sides have been completely intensified, and they cannot be reconciled at all.

  As the instigator of inviting foreign armed forces, once the Chinese soldiers evacuated, Queen Lirio Kalani would be 100% cut by the angry indigenous people, and she could not leave the protection of the Chinese soldiers.

  In the whole event

  The American businessman who had a strong presence on the island of Hawaii was caught off guard, and waited until the Chinese soldiers landed on the island of Hawaii to react, but it was too late.

  The long-distance telegraph office was blocked, the seaport was blocked, all ships were unable to enter and exit, and they were unable to deliver messages to the North American continent.

The following things went smoothly. Queen Lirio Kalani, who had been forced to the corner, officially issued a trusteeship request to the Oahu garrison on behalf of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The king's seal signed a formal trusteeship agreement and went into exile under the protection of Chinese soldiers. Australia.

  Of course, she can get a large sum of money, which is said to be as large as 3,000 pounds.

The poor Kingdom of Hawaii was thrown to the lord of Oahu. At the request of Queen Lirio Kalani, Oahu officially sent two companies of soldiers to the Kingdom of Hawaii, and sent a seagull ocean cruiser to the Hawaiian port. Local mobs have been suppressed in order to restore normal social order.

In view of the huge military expenditure, the State of Emergency Committee of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which is dominated by Chinese businessmen, passed a bill to increase taxation, mainly targeting plantation owners and contracting port merchants, who are dominated by American businessmen. It's just going to make the other party bankrupt.

  All the changes were completed in a dazzling ten days.

  When the Kingdom of Hawaii regained contact with the outside world, everything here has become a reality.

  Citi State Secretary of State George L. Stephens expressed angrily when facing a question in the House of Representatives on December 9, 1891;

The Citi government is unwilling to see any changes in the Kingdom of Hawaii. It regrets what happened there and is deeply concerned. It hopes that the Ocean Kingdom will respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of every weak country, and respect and protect American businessmen residing in the Kingdom of Hawaii. The personal safety and property safety of Ocean Kingdom, the record of Ocean Kingdom in this regard is worrying, and the Citigroup government will continue to pay attention to this.

  Wilson, the American overseas leader living in the Kingdom of Hawaii, strongly demanded; the Chinese flag state must respond to this and send troops into the Kingdom of Hawaii to restore order and protect the safety of Americans.

  Wilson was arrested for his remarks. After a simple trial by the Hawaii State of Emergency Committee, he was convicted of conspiring to subvert the kingdom, confiscated all property proceeds, and deported himself.

  At this time, King Li Fushou of the Oceanic Kingdom, who was visiting the Governor’s House of the British Straits Settlements, said when asked about this by reporters;

  Oahu and the Kingdom of Hawaii are friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water. Regarding the riots in the Kingdom of Hawaii, we must not turn a blind eye to or turn a deaf ear to the requests from neighbors. We will do our utmost and sincerity to restore order.

  The kingship is sacred and inviolable, and it is universal in the world.

  As for Citizens who have repeatedly committed violence in the Kingdom of Hawaii, they must compensate for the crimes committed and will be deported as unwelcome persons.

  There is no doubt that the personal and property safety of all American businessmen who legally conduct business in the Kingdom of Hawaii, as well as businessmen from other countries, will be fully protected.

   Restoring the current order of the Kingdom of Hawaii is the most important thing at the moment.

  Ocean Kingdom opposes unreasonable accusations. The garrison will, under the supervision of the international community, perform its obligation to maintain regional security in a responsible manner, prompting all parties concerned to take a calm look at disputes.

  Tai Chi, who knows how to do it?

  On December 14, 1891, Queen Lirio Kalani arrived in Brisbane, Australia on a cruise ship, and immediately held a public press conference to express her official position;

  Queen Lirio Kalani is very grateful to Ocean Kingdom for lending a helping hand in the crisis. She said that the decision of formal trusteeship is the most appropriate choice made after hard ideological struggle, and it is believed to be the common aspiration of all Hawaiian natives.

  In the face of riots and restoration of order, choose to minimize bloodshed and choose peace.

  She is really tired now, and she wants to take a good rest for a while, and hope that Hawaii will become more beautiful in the future...

  At the press conference

  It can be seen that Queen Lirio Kalani was very excited, and she shed tears several times. She did not know whether it was tears of regret or tears of gratitude. Anyway, she was very emotional, and she spoke clearly and thoroughly.
