Chapter 277 - I still have to buy black slaves

Since you brought soldiers, you must bring serfs. www.biquge.infoOtherwise, if there is no one to provide food, these soldiers will starve to death. So, Marin gave Tara and Wilts, each equipped with 300 peasants. Moreover, the 800 mercenaries under Tara and Wilts are actually from rural youth, and they can also do farm work, and when the farm is busy, they can also help.

It's just that Marin hesitated to send farmers to Panama. Because, Panama is really not a good place. Soldiers can hide in the fortress and avoid going out to contact the poisonous insects. But the serfs were different, they needed to go to the dense forest to cultivate land and cultivate the land. But sending those serfs to uncultivated Panama is no different from sending them to die.

"What should I do?" Marin rubbed his swollen head and went to the next room to ask the maid to help make a pot of Earl Grey milk tea.

Because of the headache, Marin does not plan to go back to the office for the time being, but plans to watch the maid make tea and play. As a result, the maid was panicked by Marin, thinking that Marin was interested in her.

The maid was a little panicked because she was watched by Marin, and she forgot about her usual skill in making tea. I saw her scrambling to find cane sugar, milk, and a black tea brick. Usually, breaking tea bricks is a very easy and trivial matter. But under Marin's gaze, the maid made a mistake in a panic, and originally planned to break a small piece, but she used up too much strength and directly broke off half of the tea brick. Moreover, the broken half of the tea brick fell directly into the pot where the tea was boiled......

"Woo...... Lord Duke, I didn't mean to......" The maid trembled with fear.

However, Marin is not a brutal nobleman and chooses to forgive her. However, there should still be a small punishment, otherwise it will not be remembered for a long time. For example, the maid was fined three days' wages......

Looking at the half of the black tea brick in the pot, Marin felt a pity - that was the amount of boiling four or five times...... Moreover, the tea bricks are so expensive, much more expensive than the maid's salary for three days.

However, half of the tea brick has been soaked in milk, and it is a pity not to drop it. So, Marin instructed the maid to get more milk and cane sugar, and change the cauldron to prepare a large pot of milk tea......

Looking at the black tea bricks tumbling in the milk, Marlin felt very interesting—black and white......

"Black & White...... Black ......" Suddenly, the shadows of whites and blacks appeared in Marin's mind......

"Yes, I can go buy black slaves!" Marin patted his head and said.

Panama was dangerous, and if the German peasants were reluctant to take the risk, why not buy some black slaves?

You know, blacks are much more accustomed to the rainforest climate than whites. After all, the hometown of black people is also mostly a tropical rainforest climate. Transporting blacks from the African rainforests to the American rainforests is basically equivalent to transporting the British from the British to the Irish islands, and the likelihood of not adapting is very low.

Moreover, to say a cruel word, even if the black slave died, Marin would not feel distressed......

Previously, Marin had planned for Gaulard to lead troops to enslave the local Indians in Panama. However, the aggressive character of most of the Indians comes to mind. If you anger them, I'm afraid you will have to be beaten. After all, the Indians of Panama, such as the Chocó, had a remarkable record of repelling Spanish colonists several times in the 17th century. You must know that in the 17th century, although Spain began to decline, it was still the empire on which the sun never set, and the Spanish phalanx that crisscrossed Europe. Being able to repel the Spaniards several times proves that the fighting power of the Chocó people is still very strong.

Therefore, it was not a good idea for Marin to send troops to enslave the Panamanian Indians. You know, it's jungle warfare in the rainforest. Marin's army had no experience in that area.

The purchase of black slaves is different, although the black personality is free from aggressiveness, but it is a normal black person. Black slaves, on the other hand, were abnormal black people. Because, the normal black slaves with the spirit of resistance have been killed a long time ago. Those who were left behind were blacks who were willing to submit.

Therefore, the first generation of black slaves were often very honest. Because, the dishonest slave was killed long ago. These honest black slaves, under the supervision of slave owners, often work hard and do not produce any moths.

It's just that the descendants of the first black slaves are hard to say. After all, "dragons give birth to nine sons, each different", and it is normal for the first generation of black slaves to give birth to black people with unbroken temperaments. Therefore, the black Americans that Marin saw in later generations were all the kind of thorns that crooked their heads and people did it. Especially the big black in the NBA, he will PK with others if he doesn't agree with him......

Therefore, Marin actually agrees with the Arabs' choice to castrate black slaves when they trade them. Why? In this way, there will be no offspring left behind...... Moreover, the problems of racial discrimination and apartheid in the future have been avoided - there is no such social problem as there is no old age......

Marin felt that the old beauty of later generations was also brain-dead, since it was unpleasant to see blacks, and he couldn't enslave them, why not immigrate all blacks to Liberia like he did after the end of the Civil War? Of course, as a Chinese in later generations, Marin was still very happy to see the black people occupy the United States, and wished that the United States would become a second South Africa......

It's just that if he really took the initiative to ask the black slave dealers to castrate the black slaves, Ma Lin felt that he would definitely be described as a big demon king in the history books.

So, Marin still gave up on this idea. Because he only planned to introduce a small number of black slaves to develop the dangerous Panama, and did not plan to promote black slaves throughout the Americas. North America, in particular, must not leave a legacy for its children and grandchildren......

Marin's principle was that in North America, it was better to bring in Indian untouchables as serfs than black slaves. Because, Indian untouchables are much more honest than blacks. Moreover, he is good at farm work.

Why was Britain able to control India for hundreds of years? Isn't the third buddy more honest? Especially the third brother of the untouchables, don't be too honest. India's favorite troublemakers are still those who wear headscarves. These turbans are the original ruling class of India, and they are naturally unwilling to lose their right to rule, so Lao Gao resisted. Like that Queen of Jhansi, she wears a turban.

However, the majority of India is still the Hindu lower-middle-class commoners, who are willing to be obedient and do not like to rebel. That's why the British rule in India was so stable. It wasn't until Britain was crippled because of World War II and the widespread spread of modern ideas that the three brothers were able to become independent.

In addition, Marin bought black slaves with another idea - that is, to scare the Portuguese......

The specific method was to buy a shipload of black slaves from Portugal first, which was used for Panamanian reclamation and tree cutting. But after a while, he went to Portuguese merchants to buy black slaves. And, tell the Portuguese merchant that the last time, the boatload of black slaves, had died in the tropical jungles of the Savage Continent. So, there is an urgent need for supplements......

At the same time, the person in charge of buying black slaves had to describe a terrible scene for the Portuguese slave traders: in the hot and humid tropical rainforest of the wild continent, miasma was rampant, and poisonous insects and poisonous snakes were everywhere...... The first black slaves were either sick because of miasma but were bitten by poisonous insects or poisonous snakes, and they died......

After a while, I will go to the Portuguese to buy black slaves, and the reason is that the last batch is dead again......

In this way, sooner or later the news will reach the Portuguese royal family. After that, the Portuguese would learn that "the wild continent is very dangerous". When the Treaty of Todesiras was renegotiated with Spain, they would not have been willing to covet the Americas.

Because Columbus meddled in India's trade, Portugal was now focused on India's trade routes. So, there was no fleet sent to Brazil in 1500, as in the original history. Therefore, the Portuguese do not yet know what America is like. Marin is so scared, they still dare to go? When the time comes, the Portuguese will definitely choose to keep their African interests......
