"Hong Kong Island, we are here again." Sidangdong looked at the land that gradually exposed a line from the sea level with a deep face. He took off his hat on his head, as if he was returning to the harbor of his hometown.

"Yes, we're here." Major General Ford took a deep breath of the slightly cool air. Winter in the south is indeed much more comfortable than in the north.

Although pirates are rampant here in Hong Kong, the British are not worried. What’s important is that the British have long envied those Portuguese people who were able to get such a good land at the door of the Qing Dynasty, which gave the Portuguese a great advantage in trade.

The British also had the idea of ​​learning from the Portuguese to get a piece of land nearby, and the Hong Kong Island became their best choice, because a long time ago, colonists from Western countries began to carefully survey the coast of the Qing Dynasty, looking for a place where they could become their place to stay in the East, just like Macau.

Soon, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Bay, just next to the estuary of the Pearl River, fell into their sight. This was the best natural port in the south of this empire. Moreover, except for pirates, there were only a small number of Qing fishermen living here, and they were not valued by this empire, and they had not even started to develop.

Although I have long been attracted by this place, I have long been afraid of this huge empire and the many pirates there, if I don’t use enough power, I will not be able to occupy it. However, if I use a huge military force, it will inevitably arouse the empire’s vigilance and attention, and may even lead to a series of consequences. Therefore, they can only look at this piece of fat and swallow their saliva.

But now, they led a powerful fleet and a large number of soldiers to the East. After easily smashing the fragile shell of the empire, they obtained the right to reside in the island by "legitimate" means.

Without taking advantage of this time, the huge fleet and the same large number of troops cleaned up the pirates around the Hong Kong Island, and left a group of garrisons to wait for the transport of a large number of craftsmen from India to build ports and facilities for convenience in the future. It is really unreasonable for British citizens to come here to live here.

"I wonder if those pirates would be scared to death when they saw the warships of our British Empire and all hid in nowhere." Major General Ford looked gloomy. Yes, he could defeat the fleet of this empire and forced the empire to ced the island and make compensation. Major General Ford knew that with his merits alone, he would be able to go up to the next level and become a lieutenant general of the British Empire. You must know that there are many outstanding talents in the British Empire navy, and it took him twenty-eight years to barely climb to the position of major general. But who made him so lucky?

"There is Donglongzhou. After passing Donglongzhou, we can see Hong Kong Island. We can go directly around Donglongzhou from the east and directly enter the harbor between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula." Dabans Dangdong, who had surveyed this place for a lot of time, volunteered to become a tour guide, standing on the building, introducing the place names given by the locals to the members of the envoys.

"Look at it, it's Li Yumen. When you enter here, it's that harbor. But now, there is no name yet. Those pirates call it 日本語官网." Sdondong's introduction made the British present frown.

"Tanjia Bay." Macartney stammered the name of this harbor in Chinese and looked uncomfortable. "This name really doesn't match our British Empire."

"Yes, I think this harbor should be dedicated to our king." Major General Ford replied after thinking about it, and his proposal was immediately recognized by the vast majority of people.

"That's right, in the name of His Majesty the King, how about George III Bay?" Sdonton hurriedly threw out a place name that he had hurriedly thought of.

Just as this group of British people were discussing the place name fiercely, their fleet was slowly sailing into Lei Yuemen, and on a small dock near Lei Yuemen, it was the dock of the Black Flag Gang of the Dan family. However, their small boats were not taken seriously by these British people.

Especially after more than ten small sampans rushed forward, they saw the Lion opening the cannon window on the side of the ship, they drew a beautiful arc on the sea at a faster speed than charging, and fled back to the pier. Moreover, the fishermen and pirates on the pier fled in panic, which made Macartney and others laugh.

"It seems that our battle at the estuary of the Pearl River has made these pirates understand that they have no way to compete with our British Empire's navy on the sea." A naval officer gave a very reasonable answer and won the recognition of almost everyone present.

"General, should my soldiers land first? Warn those pirates from Qing Dynasty not to resist without any necessity?" said the Colonel Henry with a serious look on his face.

However, his proposal was immediately rejected by Major General Ford. "No, dear Henry, you don't need to worry so much. Their warships and artillery really cannot pose a threat to us. Remember, here will become the territory of our British Empire, and the Qing people or pirates living on it will become our laborers in the near future. What we need now is to appease the already timid souls of those people, without you need to scare them again."

Macartney nodded with a smile and agreed with Major General Ford's opinion. "Yes, dear Colonel Henry, don't forget that Macau has today because of the pitiless Portuguese, but those hard-working and cheap Qing laborers. I don't want you to retaliate against these innocent civilians for the sacrifice of army soldiers after you land. You must know that we are civilized people from thousands of miles away from the West, not barbaric people who only know how to use artillery and guns."

"Well, let them live longer. To be honest, I hate pirates, whether from the East or the West, and the Qing people on the shore make you unable to distinguish between civilians and pirates." Colonel Henry said with some dissatisfaction. "In my eyes, these poor and barbaric guys all look the same. They are no different from those African and Indian niggers."

"Col. Henry, please pay attention to your words." Macartney frowned in displeasure. Racists like Colonel Henry still have a big market in the UK, but now is an extraordinary period. Macartney does not want Colonel Henry's words and deeds to influence the soldiers below. If something extraordinary has been done, this empire is likely to turn its back on again.

Although their navy is not good, their army has more than one million. Thinking about this number, it is almost five times that of the British Empire's army. This is not the Eight Banners Army, the direct army of this empire. In short, Macartney does not want any accidents to happen at the end of success. Besides, there is a Eastern man Liang Sanhuai who was valued by him next to him.

"I'm sorry, Ambassador, please forgive my fault." Henry found Macartney's displeasure and quickly lowered his posture. After all, Macartney is an excellent diplomat who is deeply trusted by the Imperial Parliament and His Majesty the King. More importantly, after this trip to the East, Macartney's reputation in the British Empire will definitely rise step by step. It is really a gain and no loss to offend such a person.

Besides, he was already tired of staying in the East, but if he wanted to return to Britain, he naturally had to have someone above him. And the Ambassador Macartney was that if he could say a few words in the country through him, perhaps, his colonel, might become a colonel of a certain garrison in the British Isles.

"Tell all captains that there is no need to pay attention to those small boards, as long as they do not provoke or attack our fleet, but I believe they do not have the courage to do so." Major General Ford issued an order loudly.

Tall and majestic British Empire warships passed through Lilimen, a mile and a half wide, and slowly drove into the natural port that they had just named George III Bay.

"The environment here is so quiet. Such a wide and calm sea surface is truly a natural good harbor, and the area is so wide that I believe that even if our fleet's warships have several times more, they can be completely anchored in this harbor..." Stondong kept praising the colony excitedly.

At this moment, Liang Sanhuai, who was also standing on the deck of the flagship, seemed to have seen something along the coast. His originally serious face showed a faint smile, an unpredictable smile.
