327 Do what you want
It's really good. When I was in Springfield, Ford Benjamin had the experience of training Chinese militia, so he is very quick to get started now.
The Chinese selected by Chen Guofang have good physical fitness, so they have eliminated the stage of supplementing nutrition. The Chinese's obedience does not need to be questioned. People are not advocated these days. "Heaven, Earth, the Lord, the Parent, the Teacher" is the belief of the Chinese, and "The King, the Lord, the Minister, the Minister, the Father, the son, the son" is the moral integrity of the heavenly rule, so the Chinese's obedience has penetrated into their bones, which allows the Chinese to become the best workers and the best soldiers.
"If our enemies are just those natives, then I feel like we have won now. In fact, we just need to send our weapons to these young men, and they can beat them all." Ford has confidence in the Chinese and disdain for those "natives".
The "native" Ford refers to not ordinary people, but the rifle teams of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
As a formal "country", the Kingdom of Hawaii also had an army, and it was an army established with the help of American missionaries.
So now the question is, if American missionaries want to "rebellion", who will this army that American missionaries helped build listen to?
This is a big problem-
"Our enemies are those tribal chiefs, and there is no need to worry about the rifle teams in Honolulu. They will not become our enemies." Li Mu knew the situation that he was about to face.
The Rifle Team really doesn't have to worry. Li Mu is sure that even if the Rifle Team will not rebel, it will at least not point the gun at Americans like Li Mu and others.
By the same token, the Rifle Team is the army of the Kingdom of Hawaii after all, and it is unrealistic to expect the Rifle Team to deal with these chiefs in Hawaii. Therefore, Li Mu has to train an absolutely obedient army, which will be Li Mu's trump card.
"It's easier to deal with those chiefs. They basically don't have rifles. The most common thing in the tribe is bows and arrows, which are not even as good as those damn Indians." Ford also disdained the chiefs.
Regarding the weapons of the Indians, don’t think that those Indians can only ride horses and shoot arrows. In fact, their weapons are very advanced, otherwise Sherman would not be defeated.
The weapons of the Indians were provided by the British, and the essence of the relationship between these imperialisms can be seen here. When the Americans rebelled and demanded to leave the British Empire, the French supported the Americans to resist the British, and when the French and Germans engaged in the French-Prussian War, the role played by the British was not glorious. By the same token, if the Americans wanted to carry out the westward movement, the British would of course do their best to cause trouble for the Americans.
Well, the British like to be a messing stick not once or twice. During the Civil War, the British also chose to support the South and fight against the North to die.
So do Americans hate British people?
hehe--
If we only look at the results, this economic crisis in 1873 is the revenge of the Americans against the British.
"Don't underestimate those chiefs. We can't kill all the Hawaiians." Li Mu didn't want to, but couldn't.
Speaking of which, Hawaii has always been the only state in the United States where whites do not have population advantage. In all states outside Hawaii, whites have population advantage. Only in Hawaii, whites are truly "ethnic minorities". A large part of this is due to the Japanese. What Li Mu has to do now is to let the Chinese replace the Japanese and become the majority in Hawaii.
If possible, Li Mu hopes that the United States is a country with Chinese as the main body, but this idea is unrealistic. Americans will not allow Chinese to immigrate tens of millions at one go, so Li Mu settles for the second best, that is, Chinese people only maintain population advantage in Hawaii, which is acceptable.
"Hehe, if you want to, it's not impossible-" Ford smiled a little weirdly, and his eyes looked at the Kalopapa Peninsula were meaningful.
The lives of the Kalopapa Peninsula are all lepers. It seems that Ford, a guy with no bottom line, wants to launch a "biochemical attack".
Li Mu shook his head and put this unrealistic idea behind his mind. Even if all the natives in Hawaii died of leprosy, Hawaii would become a "land of death" with viruses everywhere. What else should Hawaii do like this?
"Where is that priest?" Li Mu remembered the main purpose of this trip.
"Just at the gate on the other side of the camp, Mr. Father was crazy, and he set up a tent and put up a pot there. It seemed that he had to waste time with us." Ford curled his lips, not much respect.
"Let's go, let's see this priest." Li Mu took the initiative.
Father Damien is about fifty years old this year. He is tall, thin, gray-haired and firm in his face, exactly the same as Li Mu imagined.
The weather in Hawaii is still relatively cool. Father Damien wore a robe made of white linen. Although the robe was a little worn, it was clean and clean, and looked very energetic.
Ford was right. Father Damien set up a tent at the gate facing the Isle of Molokai on the camp, with cooking utensils next to the tent. It really looked like he had a long-term resistance.
Seeing Ford and Li Mu come over, Father Damien immediately became energetic and entered the battle mode: "Americans, you should go back wherever you come from. It is not easy to destroy the peace and peace here. The people here are already pitiful enough. Your existence will only make their situation more difficult. If you can have any slight mercy, please let these poor people go-away-"
"This guy is like this every day?" Li Mu felt a little headache when he looked at Father Damien with a righteous look.
The camp had just been built, and only surrounded the fence. Before even the observation deck could be built, there were two soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp. They looked at Father Damien coldly with rifles in their arms, and did not interfere, but they did not feel guilty on their faces.
"It's like this every day. As long as I see me, I can't drive it away. The night before yesterday I asked someone to tear him down, but this guy got another one from somewhere." Ford didn't seem to be patient, and his eyes looked at Father Damien were quite unkind.
"Hello, Father Damien, I'm glad to know you." Li Mu used the normal way to open the remarks.
"Although I know it's a bit rude, I still want to say that I don't want to know you at all, so I don't mean anything with joy. If you can understand me, then I hope you can realize that you don't belong here-" Father Damien's answer made Li Mu feel a little embarrassed.
It must be embarrassing. To be honest, this is the first time that someone has been in the United States for such a long time and expressed his unwelcome attitude towards Li Mu in a clear and unmistakable way.
Americans are hypocritical too—
However, considering Ford and their previous killings, Li Mu could understand Father Damien's anger.
"Father, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Why can't we sit down and have a good chat?" Li Mu was patient.
"Misunderstanding? I don't think so. I have nothing to talk about with the devil." Father Damien was firm.
"Father, if you think that killing a few indigenous people infected with leprosy is the devil's behavior, then it's a pity that most people in this world are devils." Li Mu actually doesn't take Father Damien's trick.
And the devil, this is an era of bad luck. No one can say that he is nobler than others. When Western colonists opened up colonies, it did not start with killing? Just talk about Father Damien. If the previous colonists had not fully allowed the indigenous people of Hawaii to realize the power of modern muskets, then Father Damien would have been cleaned and stewed by the indigenous people, so there would be a chance to speak out here.
"Do you think it's normal to shoot someone for no reason? God, your thoughts are too distorted!" Father Damien drew a cross on his chest and looked at Li Mu with disgust.
"I don't think it's for no reason. You should know that the real reason why those people were exiled to this isolated island is that they are abandoned by God and carry terrible viruses on them. We normal people cannot fight this virus, so we can only choose to protect ourselves. If you want to blame, then blame those who isolated them. My people may be a little sensitive, but they are just from the perspective of protecting themselves, not deliberately hurting anyone." Li Mu's quibbling is very good, and changing concepts is a good move.
"Wait, you said virus - what is that?" Father Damien looked shocked.
Uh, virus!
Li Mu didn't know much about how pathological research in this era has developed. However, judging by Father Damien's meaning, he obviously did not understand the concept of "virus". And it sounded like Father Damien was very interested in this.
"Virus - you can understand it as God's will, it is a kind of bacteria. It is precisely because of the existence of these bacteria that those poor guys are infected with leprosy. Otherwise, you wouldn't think that God really abandoned them and they were infected with leprosy." Li Mu explained it a little hard, probably, this is what it means.
"Bacteria - So does it mean that if we eliminate this bacteria, then we can cure leprosy?" It is impossible to see that Father Damien has the ability to learn from one example and apply it to others.
"It should be that. I'm not sure what this bacteria is. Because I'm not a medical scientist, I don't know how to eliminate this bacteria. It takes a lot of research and observation of the bacteria before we can draw a conclusion." Li Mu frowned and looked very distressed.
"Uh uh uh, what's your name? Can I invite you to my church?" Father Damien suddenly became enthusiastic, catching Li Mu off guard.
