Chapter 454 Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, three points and one line!
Pan Jinxian coughed twice and changed the topic with some embarrassment: "I said Zhu Da, you have seen Liang Shao the most. I have always had a question. Why did Liang Shao give us strange names to these settlements in the New World? Like Seattle in the north, San Francisco here, and Los Angeles in the south, what's the point?
"Haven't you heard the explanation of those guides who attract drifters?" Wu Qibai glanced at this guy and didn't know how to choose a lively topic.
"Those guys?" Pan Jinxian despised this guy. The mouths of those guys can coax the birds from the tree to crawl into the hot soup pot. Today's mouth turns to the east, and tomorrow to the west. Who will believe the explanation every day, except for the details?
Hearing this, Zhu Ye couldn't help laughing: "That makes sense. Those guys are all the instructors of the companies in the future. Now, it's equivalent to exercising. Isn't it a good way to do it?"
"Hey, Zhu Da, don't talk about it. Tell me, do you know what this means?" Wu Qi also got excited. Just like here, how did the young master name this place San Francisco? We came here for a year and found that there was a large gold mine here, but before that, those Westerners didn't know at all. Even if the young master was a prophet, it could only be called Jinshan. Why did we have to add an old word in the front?
"I also asked Liang Shao about this, but do you know how Liang Shao answered?" Zhu Ye's big mouth grinned, and his expression was a little strange.
"Say it, don't be a good idea." The two of them said in one voice. Zhu Ye couldn't help laughing. Liang Shao just said that these places were originally called by this name.
Seeing the confused expressions of the two, Zhu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Ask again, Liang Shao said another sentence: 'I like it. If you have the ability, you can take one.' Look at what you said, do I dare to ask? If you want me to say, Liang Shao can stand anything, but he can't do the same. He can't name it. I heard that it makes people feel awkward. However, there are too many names in San Francisco, Seattle and so on. Hey, I feel that these places should be called this name.
Hearing Zhu Ye's words of perfunctory and sticking gold on his face, Pan Jinxian and Wu Qi rolled their eyebrows and laughed secretly, as if the gap between them had disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, don't laugh. Have you had enough rest? Why don't you go to work!" Zhu Ye glanced at his eyes and said angrily. The two guys squeaked far away, but the unbridled laughter echoed in the four fields. Looking at the two former enemies who talked and laughed, Zhu Ye's face showed a deep smile.
--------------------
Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, these three strange place names, are the three cities where Chinese gather today. Seattle, with the smallest population, has more than 50,000 people, while Los Angeles, which has the largest population, has exceeded 130,000 people, and the number is still increasing rapidly.
There are also a total of nearly 100,000 Korean and Japanese workers in the three places, carrying out various infrastructure construction, especially road construction. For more than two years, the thin line between the three points of Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles is approaching at an alarming rate.
Every two to three months, a fleet will depart through Kyushu Island and Yokosuka Port. After passing through the Ogasawara Islands, South Bird Island and the Marshall Islands, they will arrive at the Hawaiian Islands. After repair here, they will depart from the Hawaiian Military Port to the New World, transporting a large number of The refugees who fled on land, as well as laborers recruited from the Kingdom of Korea and the Japanese Kingdom.
The chief of Kamihamiha on the Hawaiian Islands is also unlucky. Originally, he had conquered other Shawisha tribes by force. Less than a month after he ascended the throne and became the king of Hawaii, a squadron of the Liang family secretly supported the tribes conquered by his force to unite again and have the weapons and equipment supported by the Chinese. The most powerful Chief Kamihami was defeated.
In the end, the unsupportable King Kamihamiha decided to negotiate with the opposing tribes. The final result was that the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who had only been in office for less than two months, announced his abdication, and the tribes continued to maintain a harmonious social environment, and many tribes in the Hawaiian Islands agreed that the Chinese were here. The island is inhabited and developed, but to ensure peace between their indigenous tribes, of course, there is no problem for the Chinese fleet that has long planned to swallow the land.
After, it naturally began to move into a large number of Chinese and Japanese workers, built a large port here, and also built a town, and used it as the most important relay station to connect Liang Pengfei's base camp in the New World.
At present, there are about 50,000 Japanese workers and more than 30,000 Chinese people here.
The mainland is like a balloon full of water, which has been pricked with a few small eyes with a needle. Those small eyes are passing ** quickly. These ** are these displaced people who have fled their homes.
If it hadn't been for this white lotus uprising that had swept most of the continent, those ordinary people who were honest and would rather suffer from hunger than leave their hometown would have been forced to take their families to flee their hometowns and go to provinces with relatively calm environments.
If those corrupt officials had not worked hard to absorb those charitable donations and grain and rice, how could these people risk their life and death to embark on those sea ships that travel thousands of miles and go to the New World, but pursue a livelihood?
All this can only be blamed on the rotten Qing regime, and Liang Pengfei's poisonous and accurate vision of grasping and grasping time.
Without war, the people will not escape from their homes. Without those corrupt officials, those who have escaped from their homes can at least survive in a foreign land. For those people to do it, this is a long process of suffering. For the expansion of the Chinese nation, it seems to be a little ridiculous. Another coincidental absurd drama.
After five months after defeating the expedition of the United States of America, a member of the expedition finally returned to the territory of the United States of America through all difficulties and dangers. The news that the expedition was annihilated by a mysterious and powerful Eastern army soon came back to Mali in the northeast of the New World. Lanzhou, Washington, the capital of the United States of America, came into the ears of the founding fathers of the United States of America.
Angry, the elites and parliamentarians of the United States of America were very angry. At the beginning of the country, they had already regarded the whole New World as a paradise for their expansion and occupation. After all, the Western colonists only regarded it as a colony, not a direct leader. Moreover, they defeated the powerful Britain in the reading war, which has made their self-confidence extremely inflated.
After the founding of the country, while vigorously developing the domestic economy, they began to gradually expand to the south and west, because the north is the territory of the British. The United States of America is very clear that the reason why they can read is not only their own strength, but also the help of France and other countries.
Now, if it expands to the north, it will certainly anger the British again. The British will certainly not easily let go of this newborn country. At that time, France, which is already chaotic in the country, will certainly not be able to provide much help, and Spain, which has been annexed by the Americans, will It is impossible to help, and it may even contribute to the flames.
Therefore, the United States of America not only did not expand to the north, but also sent envoys to the United Kingdom to negotiate and sign the Jay Treaty, so that the two sides could live in peace. Although it has been opposed by the country, everyone knows that the current United States does not have the ability and there is no need to anger the British.
And the westward and southward expansion have achieved a lot of results, which can be said to be unfavorable, but now, on this continent, there is a new opponent: the Orientals.
For the news brought by these people who escaped. They recognized some of them, but the United States of America had begun to trade with that empire a few years ago, and like other Western countries, they knew very well how big the ancient empire was. Stubborn and old-fashioned.
Although a strong pirate has risen in the East, according to the incoming information, it has not been found that this opponent has any terrible weapons. However, the strength is indeed very strong, not only defeating the powerful Spain and the Netherlands in the East, but also almost the power of the British in the East. Uprooted.
The United States did not pay too much attention to this new opponent. After all, it happened thousands of miles away, but now, there is a new diner in the fat at the corners of his mouth, and this is quite unreasonable, and he even unites with those Indians to deal with himself, which is enough to provoke pride. The anger of the United States of America, which is still immersed in the fruits of expansion.
To send troops, you must send troops. Use a strong army to prove to those Orientals who is the owner of this new continent. After intense discussions and disputes, the members of the U.S. Congress finally made the final decision. Send an expeditionary force of up to 5,000 to the west of the New World, asking them to drive those damn Orientals out of the continent.
However, when the senators of the United States of America excitedly watched the expeditionary army composed of elite veterans leave Washington and go to the West Coast, no one could imagine that they just pushed the 5,000 brave citizens of the United States of America into the bottomless abyss of death. Of course, at this time, they only imagined that they would receive the news of victory in a few months.
