After hearing Tang Jian's words, Chen Dong was stunned and immediately became the first family among the Chinese in Hawaii. It has always been his lifelong dream, but due to the suppression of the Japanese and Americans, the Chinese were unable to grow and grow in Hawaii.

At this time, with the strong support of the Chinese government, the Chen family could naturally become the largest Chinese family in Hawaii in a short period of time, and Chen Dong was about to fulfill his lifelong dream in his seventies.

Tang Jian said: "Mr. Chen, for the sake of trade between China and Hawaii, I will allocate twenty steam turbine sailboats from the South China Sea merchant fleet to support the Chen family free of charge and form a merchant fleet between China and Hawaii. How about it?"

Chen Dong was immediately moved and shivered. Marine transportation can be regarded as a huge profit. Ordinary tea, ceramics, and silk sales in Hawaii can make more than 40% profit. In addition, the Chinese people prefer Hawaii sandalwood products. If they are transported back to China by empty ships, the profit is simply amazing.

Chen Fang made his family back to a wooden sailboat and became the richest man of Chinese in Hawaii. At this time, the Chen family suddenly had a more advanced steam turbine sailboat, and there were twenty. The Chen family was just around the corner. Such a large piece of stuffing pie suddenly fell from the sky. How could Chen Dong not be excited!

Chen Dong calmed down his ecstasy and said hurriedly: "Everything is done according to the president's will, and everything is done according to the president's will!"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "But, I have a request!"

"President, please tell me!" Chen Dong responded quickly.

Tang Jian said: "With the support of the Chinese government, I want the Chen family to monopolize the waterway between Hawaii and China within three years, and also control the manor economy of the entire Hawaii. At the same time, I need to know everything about Americans and Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands."

With the support of the entire country, Chen Dong was naturally confident that he could meet the requirements that Tang Jian said. Chen Dong patted his shriveled chest and said confidently: "President, don't worry, with the support of the government, with so many merchant ships, it will not take three years. Within two years, I guarantee that the Chen family will completely monopolize the waterway between Hawaii and China, and control the entire Hawaii manor planting industry!"

Tang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, let me leave all the things to Mr. Chen! It's not too early now. Chen Dong gets off early. Mr. Chen is old and weak, so don't send him away."

Chen Dong is not a pretentious person. After hearing what Tang Jian said, he immediately bowed to Tang Jian: "President walks slowly!"

Tang Jian waved his hand with a smile and brought Chen Chusheng to the hall. The banquet was about to end, and Tang Shaoyi was saying goodbye to several Chinese representatives.

Tang Jian walked over with a smile and greeted the Chinese representatives, and took Tang Shaoyi to say goodbye and returned to the residence arranged by Governor Dore.

After watching Tang Jian leave from afar, Chen Dong finally couldn't hold on and collapsed in his seat. The eldest son Chen Mingqi immediately stepped forward to support him and found that his father's back was soaked with sweat. The younger son Chen Mingfa quickly brought a cup of tea to his father's breath.

Chen Dong was not almost limping on the ground because of his discomfort, but Tang Jian's words just now made him excited. He was too excited.

The eldest son Chen Mingqi said excitedly: "Father, with the support of the president, our Chen family will definitely rise in Hawaii."

Chen Dong nodded and said to his two sons earnestly: "Our president is a person with lofty ambitions. If the Chen family can get the support of the president, it will surely soar to the sky. I am old, and the future of the Chen family will depend on you two."

Chen Mingqi and Chen Mingfa both knelt in front of Chen Dong and said firmly: "Don't worry! Father, we will definitely bring the Chinese in Hawaiian to live a good life!"

On the way back to his residence, Tang Jian gave Tang Shaoyi a secret conversation with the Queen of Hawaii. After Tang Shaoyi finished listening, he looked shocked. It turned out that Tang Jian was really ambitious in Hawaii.

However, Tang Shaoyi asked in confusion: "President, I have something unknown. Why don't we learn to annex Hawaii like the annexation of North Korea, but just lease the next Pearl Harbor?"

Tang Jian shook his head and said, "Hawaii has a different geographical location, so it determines that our methods of controlling Hawaii are different. North Korea is adjacent to the northeast of China and is only separated from the northeast by a mountain and a river. Annexation of North Korea can invisibly increase our strategic depth. Moreover, North Korea is in the same belt as China on land or on sea, so of course it must be strictly controlled as soon as possible. But Hawaii is different. This is an archipelago with strategic significance above the North Pacific. If you annex it too quickly, first of all, it will stimulate the United States and it too early.

He is the European power, second, after all, we are Chinese, and different from those Polynesians born and raised in Hawaii. They like to rule them by yellow people. Now, Americans are the best evidence now. Although the United States annexed Hawaii, the residents of Hawaii island, including their queen, have secretly never given up on rebuilding the Kingdom of Hawaii. If we use force to annexed Hawaii directly, it will inevitably cause the rebellious mentality of these Polynesians, and instead make Hawaii annexed Hawaii an unstable factor overseas!"

Tang Shaoyi nodded. Indeed, although the United States directly annexed Hawaii by force, the calls for demands in Hawaii have never stopped.

In fact, Tang Jian understood better than Tang Shaoyi. Even though Hawaii was annexed by the United States for nearly a hundred years, in modern times, that is, in 1998 and 2000, there were political incidents in which the former site of the palace in Hawaii wanted to regain the sovereignty of Hawaii, rebuild the Kingdom of Hawaii, and ask the United States to apologize for the forceful overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii a hundred years ago.

Tang Jian continued: "There is another one that North Korea has a large population. If it only surrenders to become a vassal state, it is inevitable that it will be uncertain when North Korea will choose to break away from China's control. Besides, the people of the two countries have many similarities in skin color, culture, and life. It is better to annex directly and then slowly assimilate. After a hundred years, North Korea will naturally become a province of China and will no longer be able to do without China's rule. Although Hawaii has a small population, it has a large number of foreign personnel and has complex resident components. It will be more difficult to directly classify it as China's rule. It is better to directly control their economic lifeline, then set up a naval base in Pearl Harbor and station troops in Hawaii. This is no different from China's direct annexation of Hawaii. We don't have to add trouble to ourselves for this invisible and intangible name."

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "It's still the president's long-term consideration!"

In the next few days, Tang Jian ordered Tang Shaoyi to draft a treaty, which officially signed the contract after secretly contacting Queen Liliukalani. At the same time, Tang Jian's accompanying officials discussed specific support matters with the Chen family of Hawaii, while other generals of the fleet stepped up urging soldiers to supply the fleet with food and fresh water.

On the fifth day, Tang Jian officially bid farewell to Hawaii Governor Dore. Under the grand farewell ceremony, the East China Sea Fleet sailed to the vast North Pacific Ocean again. The next stop of the East China Sea Fleet is San Francisco, an important port on the west coast of the United States, which is San Francisco, where Tang Jian will officially visit the United States and meet with US President Theodore Roosevelt.

Just as Tang Jian led the East China Sea Fleet to leave Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the battle between China and Japan in the face of Pyongyang was on the verge of full outbreak.

Shortly after the three Japanese divisions entered Pyongyang, the Second Army led by Duan Qirui also arrived in Pyongyang after defeating the layers of blocking Nozin Dokun. Cao Kun's third army also landed in Nanpu Port, and had already joined forces with Nie Shicheng's first army and stationed in the southwest of Pyongyang City.

Pyongyang is the capital of North Korea's Ping'an Road, located on the west bank of the Datong River, and is a water and land transportation hub in northern North Korea. After the successive victory of each army, Nie Shicheng decided to divide his troops into four groups to attack Pyongyang in order to completely defeat the Japanese army.

At this time, the total strength of the Chinese Army reached 150,000, with about 300 artillery pieces. On November 13, 1906, the Chinese Army completed the siege of Pyongyang. In the early morning of the next day, at the order of Nie Shicheng, the Chinese Army launched an attack from three directions at the same time.

Feng Yuxiang led two main divisions of the Second Army to attack the Nozin Division position of Nozin Dokun, stationed southeast of Pyongyang City and along the Datong River; Lieutenant General Feng Guozhang led the forces of two divisions of the First Army to attack the two brigade fortresses of Yichang, Mudan Island, Mudan Island outside Xuanwu Gate, as the main attack direction; Lieutenant General Cao Kun's third army attacked the North of Datong River and the Masato-Yu Yu defense army position of the Seunai in the northwest of Pyongyang City.

The fierce battle continued until the afternoon. The sky was filled with smoke from gunpowder over Pyongyang City, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Until the setting sun in the sky was like blood, the rumbling sound of cannons continued.

However, the Notsu Dokan Division, which was defending the Datong River, was extremely brave, fearless and defensive, and did not retreat at all. It fought with Feng Yuxiang many times near the bridge. The two sides were in trouble, and the battle was extremely tragic. The Chinese Army once again killed more than 3,000 people, and Feng Yuxiang was also injured in the battle.

The war in the north of the city was even more intense. The Chinese Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Mudan Taishan, and successively conquered several bases on the top of the mountain. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and finally had no choice but to retreat to Xuanwu Gate.

At this time, Nie Shicheng was standing tall and concentrated artillery fire to bombard Xuanwu Gate. Oshima Yoshihara was injured by shrapnel, Xuanwu Gate was lost, and the Japanese army finally retreated to the inner city.

Two days later, the Japanese defense line collapsed, and Yoshikazu Oshima led the remaining troops to flee from the south gate of Pyongyang. During the escape, Yoshikazu Oshima was fiercely pursued by the Chinese Army. Until on the 18th, Yoshikazu Oshima led the remaining troops to push south of the Imjin River.
