253 Little troubles
Portugal, Spain, and the future Great Britain were in equally serious problems with regard to the population, and their solution was brutal - the capture of black slaves.
There is no discrimination at all, but the strong physical fitness of the black people is simply the material of the natural slave, in addition to the strength of the physical strength of the heat and cold resistance and not very fond of using the brain, the biggest advantage of the black people is that they are "not easy to die", they have endured the test of various diseases, disasters, and wild animals on the African continent for thousands of years, and only the most powerful black people can live until the arrival of the Portuguese artillery.
For immigration reclamation, Moss Bay Island is too mild land, the American continent is the real test for mankind, in addition to dealing with the invasion of the natives, but also to carry countless viruses and bacteria that have not been seen, a simple data can explain how difficult this is, the first batch of British immigrants to North America, ten years later only 30 people, few of them were killed by the Indians, plague, smallpox, yellow fever is the more terrible enemy.
When there was more land than people, manpower was scarce, so slavery came out to rob limited human resources.
When there were more people than land, land was very expensive, so feudalism came into being to grab limited land resources.
Therefore, once the vast and boundless America was discovered, the contradiction between man and land returned to the situation that there were more people than people in the classical era, and slavery re-emerged, whether it was Portugal, Spain, England and the United States, they all followed this trend, and the black brothers began to suffer, and it was not until the sixteenth President of the United States, Lincoln, gave the black brothers freedom, which was almost 300 years later.
So such a contradiction between humane ethics and practical interests is placed in front of Yang Changfan.
Do you want to catch slaves.
Not to mention the distant Americas, even if there is enough serfs in front of Moss Bay Island, the speed of development can be greatly accelerated.
Yang Changfan only needs to give an order to purge the Moss Bay Island ethnic groups and sack the Nanyang, which can bring tens of thousands of cheap laborers to Moss Bay Island, and instantly speed up the expansion, at the cost of the anger of the natives and Nanyang people, as well as the crimes that will forever be recorded in history.
There is no doubt that such trade invasion and human trafficking are the first pot of gold in capitalism, as Lao Ma said, every pore is evil, and the wealth accumulation of the United States, which holds high the banner of freedom and equality, comes from the manors and pastures supported by black slaves.
Yang Changfan stood at the middle point of the choice, and he realized the terrible power of power, on the one hand, the immediate interests, on the other hand, humanity and conscience, the future of the East China Sea and the South Sea, only in his own left or right swing.
The matter of population and labor has not yet been decided, and the sound of discord finally sounded in the heyday of the East China Sea.
Xu Chaoguang of Nanao Island, hijacked seven ships in Fujian waters, and these seven ships all had a trade certificate of Huiwangfu, which was drawn and protected by Huiwangfu. Yang Changfan let out more than once, if the thieves in the East China Sea and the South Seas dared to rob such a merchant ship, they would definitely face the liquidation of the army of the Hui Wangfu.
Previously, in the Ryukyu Royal Mansion Council, after Ye Ma violated the boundary and was killed by Yang Changfan, under the leadership of Xu Haiwang Cuiqiao, Xu Chaoguang, who had already avoided the Hui Palace, sheltered the ship, but did not want to entrench in South Australia, finally couldn't sit still.
He also has a reason for violating the boundary.
It all started with Yang Changfan's expedition to the South Seas. Huiwangfu and Portugal turned face, the Portuguese soon found the second person in the East China Sea, hoping that he would become a new trade agent, Xu Chaoguang was naturally willing to cooperate, so he followed the example of Huiwangfu on Nanao Island, built a market, and sat on the ground to take a cut of the business, which was also in full swing.
But he didn't expect that there would be a second expedition to the South Seas.
Yang Changfan's second expedition to the South Seas, Portugal was defeated, the sea area under its control was compressed to Malacca and the Guawa Sea, the warships and soldiers were seriously damaged, and the Huiwangfu signed a contract to demarcate the land as the boundary, and the main fleet withdrew to the Indian Ocean.
In fact, such a result would not have affected Xu Chaoguang, and the two routes from Malacca to Guangdong and from Moss Bay to Manila and Ambon should not affect each other.
However, if there are pirates, it is not necessarily the case.
A large number of pirates from the East China Sea moved to the South Seas, looting all weakly armed fleets outside the Huiwang Palace, even the Fran fleet, which formed a large locust-like trade blockade.
Both the Cantonese merchant fleet and the Portuguese fleet encountered great resistance.
In this case, the fleet under the protection of King Hui's Mansion can be almost unimpeded, and the so-called fleet under the protection of Xu Chaoguang is almost impossible to move an inch, Xu Chaoguang in South Australia can no longer shelter anyone, who will come to him to pump water and admit it?
All of a sudden, the Cantonese merchants either purchased their own guns and conscripts to form an armed fleet, or switched to the side of the Huiwang Mansion, with Mosan Bay as the center to sell goods, and then transferred back to Guangdong.
In this way, Xu Chaoguang's business could not continue.
On the other hand, in Shanwei, the Red Bay not far from the southwest of Nanao Island, the Flying Dragon Kingdom was founded, with 100,000 people, and many good water affairs, and it is difficult to maintain the situation of Xu Chaoguang's monopoly on Guangdong.
In this situation, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and actually moved the knife of the fleet under the protection of the Huiwang Mansion.
In the council chamber of Moss Wan Province, opinions have been unified without discussion.
"I wanted to wait a little longer, but I didn't expect them to bump into each other themselves." Xu Wenchang immediately said, "Please ask the shipowner to send out 30 ships and 5,000 sergeants to calm Nanao in one go, and don't fight for a long time." ”
After hearing this, I saw a thick beard in the prime of life and got up angrily: "The last general Hu Guang is willing to go!" ”
Xu Wenchang smiled when he saw the situation: "Admiral Hu has just taken office, and the battle with Franji was beautiful, but after all, it was still a business of robbing ships by sea bandits." In my opinion, such a large-scale battle to seize the island still requires calm generals like Wang Dudu and Admiral Zhao to fight. ”
Wang Xian and Zhao Guangtou also got up at the same time to ask for the peace of Nanao.
Hu Guang was very excited when he saw this: "Xu Chaoguang is a wolf, pigs and dogs are not as good, kill his father and mother, kill my lord, kill my brother Xu Dong, this revenge will not be avenged, I Hu Guang swear not to be a person!" ”
Among the generals present, Wang Xian was the oldest and had the highest reputation, he looked at the smiling Xu Wenchang, and then looked at the excited Hu Guang, and immediately said: "Xu Chaoguang of the Southern Widow has been at odds with my Hui Wangfu for many years, and the veteran will stand here. ”
Without waiting for Yang Changfan and Xu Wenchang to answer, Hu Guang's face was flushed, and he immediately slapped his leg and said, "If you don't kill Xu Chaoguang!" I, Hu Guang, cut myself on the spot and gave my head to the owner of the boat as a night pot! ”
Zhao Guangtou scratched his bald head: "Come on, I just married my daughter-in-law, so I won't fight with you." ”
"This ......," Xu Wenchang looked at Yang Changfan, "please ask the owner of the ship to decide." (To be continued.) )
