The Kingdom of South Africa, together with the African Company, announced the abolition of slavery in Africa, which instantly caused a sensation all over the world.

Because this obscure country, quietly, has developed into one of the largest countries in the world.

South Africa's territory, from the southernmost tip of Africa, extends north to the Abyssinian Plateau and the Congo River Basin, occupying 40 percent of Africa's territory, with a zero area of more than 10 million square kilometers, second only to China and Britain, two countries with vast overseas territories in the world. Such a country, no matter how backward it is, cannot be without influence.

However, slavery is more entrenched in this country than in any other country, and it is certainly more difficult for him to abolish slavery.

Because in this vast African country, the population has exceeded 100 million, but the number of black slaves among them is as high as 40 million, and the number of slaves alone exceeds the number of most countries. She is now announcing that she wants to abolish slavery, how can it not have an impact.

The main reason why such a country has little influence in the world is that it rarely makes her voice independent in the world. However, the comprehensive national strength of the Kingdom of South Africa itself is definitely not weak, higher than that of the vast majority of countries in the world.

The reason is very simple, in areas like Africa, especially in southern Africa, the development conditions are relatively good, the south is not like the north, except for the southwest region, there are two deserts that are not too big, the Namib Desert and the Kalahadi Desert, and most places have precipitation and sunshine conditions that can meet the requirements of farming.

Such land, which has always been controlled by black tribes, is obviously difficult to use, and the characteristics of a better natural environment and easier access to food from nature may make the technical capabilities of black tribes lag for a long time, because they do not need to improve their tools to make a living. Such land, controlled by Western capital, can be exploited, but it is also limited. Because capital will only focus on the easiest parts to develop, and ignore those areas that are difficult to develop, but have the potential to be developed. Moreover, capital will be introduced into the system of large farms and large pastures, which will have excellent economic benefits, but will be able to feed very few people.

But such a land, controlled in the hands of an agrarian civilization, bursts out with power beyond imagination. The early developers of the Kingdom of South Africa were the Mongol Eight Banners, and under the leadership of Delentai, a fierce general of the Mongol Eight Banners, they soon occupied a piece of land in South Africa. Soon after, the main force actually slowly changed to Han Chinese. In order to maintain stability, the Chinese emperor adopted a long period of high-pressure rule over the country, and social security could not be good during a period of super-difficult social transition in which dynastic change and industrial revolution were taking place at the same time. For violent crimes, especially organized violent crimes, the punishment measures are extremely strict, and they are basically exile.

Because the emperor did not want unstable factors to flow into China's key development colonies, the main place of exile was Africa, which the emperor did not want, and through the hands of African companies, a large number of criminals were exiled to Africa, where there were many germs, which was tantamount to a death sentence for many weak people.

However, the Kingdom of South Africa has accepted a large number of Chinese through cooperation with African companies. For at least 30 years, South Africa has accepted a large number of exiled prisoners from China, and at its peak it even accepted as many as 3.5 million a year, on average, more than 100,000 per year, and over the past 30 years, the number of Chinese flowing into South Africa has reached 5 million.

Among these five million people, although some are real scum and cheaters, there are also some who are not morally flawed, but in the era of social change, they pose a threat to the stability pursued by the emperor. For example, some early trade unionists, many of them were not spontaneous, but some senior intellectuals who studied abroad, they accepted the local workers' doctrine in Europe, and after returning to China, they held the most simple sense of morality of human beings, hoping to fight for the interests of the workers, but the early immature way of struggle, so that their behavior was often regarded as a gang fight, to deal with the gang fight, the emperor's means were extremely spicy, in order to prevent the traditional way of the gang to draw lots to decide the dead, the emperor issued a legal law, first arrest the leader, and then the backbone, Finally, there are the direct participants. In this way, many of the early union leaders were sent to Africa.

Although the African company's exile base was changed to the territory between the Congo River and the Niger River basin under its direct rule over the next three decades, the five million Chinese who poured into the Kingdom of South Africa have produced more than 20 million descendants. The 20 million people could not be pure-bred Chinese, and the exiled prisoners were mainly men, and even if they were able to bring their families to Africa for reunification, the vast majority of them either returned to China after the fifteen-year exile period, or could only take root in Africa and reproduce the next generation. As exiled prisoners, unless a few are really outstanding, the vast majority can only marry local black women, so in more than 50 years, Africa has given birth to a mixed race of 20 million Chinese and Africans.

Purebred Chinese have, there are. Delentai entered Africa with a small number of Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, facing a large number of blacks, in contrast, a strong identity immediately appeared, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they adopted strict marriage restrictions under the sense of crisis of racial disappearance, strictly restricting the Manchu and Mongolian people from intermarrying with local blacks, as for the restrictions between Mongolia and Han, in fact, in Africa, the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups have identified themselves as an ethnic group.

The earliest Chinese, or Chinese ethnic groups, were these Menghan banner people. Later, through various means, such as business, exile into South Africa, the Chinese also began to divide, business, or those brave men who dared to take risks as slave repair teams, after surviving and accumulating considerable wealth, they became the upper class with heads and faces, and then intermarried with these Menghan bannermen. But more often than not, after accumulating wealth, they borrowed a family member from China, or married a woman from a poor family from China, and then passed on the family line in Africa, and finally let the heirs continue to run the business when they are old, and the old couple return to their hometowns in fine clothes.

Due to the small number of Manchurian and Mongolian flag people, when Jiaqing was still in Yili, it cut off the delivery of talents for Delentai, the total number of flag people who entered South Africa at that time was less than 50,000, and only one million people could survive the initial entrepreneurial period, so the main body of Chinese gradually entered South Africa through other means, and the Mongolian and Han bannermen continued to expand the Chinese community together with the upper-class immigrant Chinese who maintained internal intermarriage.

Gradually, such four major ethnic groups were formed in the Kingdom of South Africa, among which the early Mongol and Han bannermen became the earliest magnates, they occupied a large amount of land and established large-scale estates, and the later Chinese immigrants divided into rich merchants, wealthy and powerful slave team leaders, and more ordinary Chinese, among whom the Mongolian and Han banner people and the rich merchants, slave team leaders fused to form a powerful class, which could maintain their own bloodline, but could not reach the middle class of the powerful elites, and the largest number of low-level Chinese.

There are only more than 5 million Chinese in total, but they account for the vast majority of social wealth, and even the lowest Chinese have an easier life than other ethnic groups, similar to the white people of apartheid in South Africa. These Chinese mainly live in the old South African area south of the Zambezi River, which was expanded and arrived in the Delentai era, and 20% of the population is distributed throughout the country, mainly urban merchants, officials, farmers, etc., but they all maintain contact with the Chinese community in the south, and gradually form a culture of not intermarrying with the outside world.

20 million mixed-race, the distribution is also very wide, more average than the Chinese, but there are also 60% of the population living in the old South African area, their top class can already be among the middle and upper class society, the middle class can only be the same situation as the ordinary Chinese, the vast majority of them are also the lower class of society, not rich, but can eat and wear.

The largest population is 80 million blacks. During the expansion of the slave empire, a large number of black tribes were destroyed, and some of the positive tribes were reduced to slavery, either being sold to slave societies such as the Americas and the Arabo region, or being sold to various parts of South Africa to be used as coats. But in the midst of the expansion, some black tribes and tribal leaders chose not to be destroyed, but chose to cooperate with the rulers, that is, they allied themselves with the Kingdom of South Africa, and instead of dying out in the process of government, they increased in strength. These tribal leaders became black slave owners, learning from the Chinese to run the Baoyi estates, while the ordinary blacks became free men, and a few became slave owners.

These slave owners, blacks and free blacks, numbered as much as 20 million. They mainly live in their traditional areas, such as the Zulu region of the old South African region, but more often they live in the vast new South Africa area north of the Zambezi River, which was mainly formed during the Suchonga government, and the Suchonga era has stopped the government-led conquest operations, mainly the spontaneous northward expansion of the civilian slave supply team, with the aim of obtaining slaves, and the possession of land is an additional result, and the land is mainly directly confiscated by the government and sold to slavery at the land price to open up estates.

In addition to these black tribes, which maintained their own living traditions, there were also 20 million free black slaves who were widely distributed. They are mainly blacks who have been freed for various reasons, some of them have been released for meritorious service to their masters, and some of them have redeemed themselves in their own way, or their relatives have helped them redeem themselves, and then they have become naturalized households. The 20 million blacks were evenly distributed, and they had a certain dependency with the Chinese, mainly workers, yeoman farmers, and tenant farmers. There are also a few smart people who have turned into the high-ranking industrial and commercial class, or the head of the managerial position, but there are very few officials.

There are a total of 40 million free blacks, divided into two categories: tribal blacks and household blacks, tribal blacks are attached to black slave owners, and household blacks are attached to Chinese society and become the bottom group of Chinese society.

In addition to the free blacks, there are 40 million blacks, which are black slaves in the typical sense, which are called Baoyi in the Kingdom of South Africa. Although there were many of them who were very close to their masters, who served as village chiefs, servants, and were even better off economically than free blacks, the vast majority of them lived in great hardship, with no personal freedom and no private property. Of these 40 million, 30 million belonged to the upper class of Chinese, and a small number belonged to black slave owners.

These are the people who want to be liberated.

The biggest reason why Zhou Bo was able to persuade Huashana, a king who was very popular among the literati, to abolish slavery was that with the development of the economy in recent years, the resistance of the black slaves became more and more serious, not violent resistance, and even caused a three-year border black slave turmoil, and the blacks even established a Zambezi kingdom for a time. It was not only the black slaves who participated in the rebellion, but also a large number of tribal black slaves, household black slaves, and even some lower-class Chinese who participated in it. The social problems of economic development are so serious that they occur in any society, but in the Kingdom of South Africa they are combined with racial oppression.

The biggest reason for these problems in South Africa is that their development has had an impact on the traditional agricultural society, and South Africa is no longer exactly a slave agricultural society, but a pre-industrial society where industry has begun to develop!
