Chapter VII: The Clarion Call of Colonization, the Beginning of the Westward Advance, the Precursor of Industry, and the "Liberators"

Triangular trade mainly refers to the circular trade activities in which European and American merchants transported cheap industrial products (guns, etc.) to Africa in exchange for slaves in the 17th and 19th centuries (after the opening of new shipping routes), transported black slaves to the Americas to sell, bought back production raw materials (gold and silver, industrial raw materials) from the Americas, and then shipped them into goods to Africa in exchange for slaves. Because its trade involves Europe, the United States, and Africa, it is called. In the past, Europe engaged in large-scale triangular trade with the Americas and Asia; Atlantic triangle trade refers to trade between Europe, West Africa, and the Americas.

The first countries to start the triangular trade were Portugal and Spain, followed by the United Kingdom and France. At the end of the 15th century, with the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus, new routes between Europe and America were opened. At that time, commerce was developing, trade was expanding, from a world perspective, Europe and Asia were developed in commerce, for the countries of Western Europe and Northern Europe, Asia was undoubtedly thousands of miles away, and the Americas and Africa were much closer, which provided favorable factors for the "black triangle trade".

As a result, Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, and so on began to colonize and expand. They created plantations and exploited gold and silver mines in the Americas, and because of the need for a large amount of cheap labor, driven by profits, the colonists turned their greedy eyes to the unexplored African continent and began the criminal slave trade.

According to records, in 1562, Sir John Hawkins of England shipped slaves from Sierra Leone in exchange for hides and sugar in Haiti, and became the richest man in Portsmouth after returning home. Because of the staggering profits, Queen Elizabeth and the Privy Council officers also invested in his second voyage. He followed the steps of the previous and returned with a shipload of silver, becoming the richest man in England.

It was the government's acquiescence to the slave trade that made the slave trade more and more rampant. The European colonial powers were all involved. Some Europeans, seeing that it was profitable, also joined the ranks. Thus, the triangular trade began.

See what? Oh, Ferdinand was still thinking about triangular trade before, and now it seems that historically, Spain's American colonies were not lost, but the money was made by Britain and France, and the heyday of triangular trade was the 17th-19th century, and it was not until the middle of the 16th century that huge profits could emerge, and he couldn't count on triangular trade. And this thing is too sinful for Ferdinand to bear, but since it is of little use to himself, let other countries be this wicked person!

Anyway, at the beginning of the 16th century, Spain did not rely on the black slave trade as the main means of collecting money, at that time it was the magnificent era of countless Spanish explorers "opening up the thorn and chasing the lotus", not too short of labor, even if it lacked, it has not yet formed a chain of huge profits, so Ferdinand felt that he was in this country that was not the strongest but vibrant, better than in 1588, and Spain at that time was already a time when the national mentality was wrong. Basically, I've started to sit on the empty side......

So, when considering Castile's plan to enter the Americas, Ferdinand had a bold idea. Take advantage of the current Spaniards and the momentum of the American Western cowboys......

Three-pronged!

…………

The triangular trade, the bloody primitive accumulation of capital, the European countries are happy, vigorously developing industry and commerce, the United States is a mixed blessing, the joy is that it has left itself a decent economic base, the worry is that the power of the plantation owners has hindered the further development of the productive forces, and there is a danger of civil war in the future.

European countries have nothing to do with themselves, so maybe they can still fish in troubled waters? The United States doesn't care, just fight, who is afraid of whom! But if there is such a European country, it needs to open up the resources and wealth of the New World, but it is under the rule of a wise (selfish and narcissistic) omniscient (cheating) traverser, who is keenly (hindsightly) aware that in order to become a superpower it is necessary to make the Americas a sacred and inalienable territory, a large source of raw materials, large farms and large industrial bases (especially this last one), and is determined (delusional) to bring the Americas (mainly North America) to the Americas (mainly North America) in his lifetime (to survive), Ferdinand knew that the place in Latin America would be assimilated sooner or later, and as long as the United States took it, the whole of America would be decided) firmly become a territory rather than a colony, then ...... That's a bit of a big problem......

How to think about it, in the early 16th century, the triangular trade was not too prosperous, but if you take the initiative to accelerate and open the mouth of the triangular trade, you will not be able to contain it in your life. What's the use of a Latin America that has doubled in size? He wants America! If the juniors don't handle it properly (even if it's a constitutional monarchy, the prime minister won't make a mistake?) Not even Latin America. Triangular trade is a colonial trick, you can't use it on the territory! If Scotland and Wales become plantation economies, and Ireland is flooded with black uncles, do you think the British Empire will survive two weeks?!

Or, when the time comes, it will not end well, and the industrial bourgeoisie will be helped in North America? That would crush the plantation owner, but if you hire a robber to catch the thief for you, can you still have your own house???!!!

And I'm a good traverser.,I haven't forgotten any of my previous memories.,I can even remember some things that I can't remember before.,Unlike other traversers and nobles who forget things more (the author vomits blood.,I didn't have time to prepare the outline.,I'll look up information for you if there's nothing to do.,Can you forget?) I won't forget you! Why do you just patronize narcissism? )。

Since he has the intention to build an eternal superpower, then Tian Heng still has 3,000 guests, and he can't bear to leave! Let's give it a go! Even if it doesn't work out, it's better than in history! Because as long as you live longer than history (for sure) and Juana doesn't marry Philip, that bastard, Spain won't have to get involved in the chaos of Europe, and run the Americas with all its might, even if it's a large Latin America, better than in history!

Ferdinand decided to take a three-pronged approach, striving to run into an imperialist society within eighty years! (The productive forces can only reach the level of the first industrial revolution, but the monopoly, government, state, and royal family dominate the entire economic system, so as to stimulate the rapid transformation of the economy and society)

The first is to vigorously promote the development of the American colonies, especially the east coast of North America, from Newfoundland to Florida. This is easy to do. Historically, from 1492 to 1516, Spain was not active in the development of the American continent, and did not activate the power of the state apparatus, especially Ferdinand was responsible, he has never cared about the Americas, so the development of the Americas was greatly slowed down after Isabella's death. South America is not going to be left behind, and he is ready to send a fleet to control several strongholds along the central coastline of Brazil before the historically deviated Portuguese fleet, and Portugal should concentrate on India's routes.

Ferdinand planned to arrive in America on Columbus's second voyage at the end of 1493, a large number of fleets gathered, and with his own strong support, he must have obtained a much larger fleet than in history, and in February 1494, most of the fleet returned due to food shortages and other reasons, and Ferdinand decided to establish a colonial base on Hispaniola Island and personally led part of the fleet north, along the North American coast to the mouth of the Hudson River, bought Manhattan Island, and then went north to Newfoundland and then went south, sailed to Panama, and discovered the existence of the Pacific Ocean in advance, He then traveled long south to Mount Pascual on the east coast of Brazil, planted the Spanish flag in the Gulf of Gabralia to avoid further trouble for Portugal, and finally returned to the West Indies to join Christopher Columbus, who had historically stayed there in an attempt to conquer "India".

By 1500, Spain was supposed to establish four solid colonies in New York, Hispaniola, Panama, and the eastern coast of Brazil. The third voyage in history, strengthened by Ferdinand, would establish a solid Spanish rule over all four of these regions. As for Columbus, who was taken back from the Americas at this time? Ferdinand decided to let him suffer a little, but this thing was done himself in the Caribbean, Do"SM" toanine-year-oldgirlandotherwomen!

Ferdinand decided to enlist Giovanni da Verrazzano to help him open up the coast from Newfoundland to Florida, where he would largely rule the east coast of America around 1530. At the same time, it was gradually territorialized while developing.

Ferdinand's policy of accelerated expansion was directed at North America and the West Indies, as well as Brazil, three places where Spanish rule was weak or never visited. As for Central and South America, Pizarro and Cortés are definitely destined talents, so they don't bother with themselves, but they will still help if they can, and some minerals in later generations can also be developed as soon as possible.

The second is the historical westward expansion movement and the famous (homestead law). Spain's westward expansion was even more magnificent, referring to the whole of America! This would be more conducive to the territorialization of the Americas.

Of course, to support the early large-scale development of the Americas in the early 16th century, which lacked triangular trade, a breakthrough in the economic field was necessary! In this way, the labor force could be liberated, and Ferdinand decided to make a key breakthrough in the direction of light industry, taking out the shuttle and the Jenny machine, and squeezing out a large number of laborers, which could promote the westward expansion of the Americas. In terms of agricultural technology, it is also possible to make innovations and adopt some technologies of the Eastern Celestial Empire. Native rural areas can push for farm consolidation and squeeze out labor. The steam engine is not necessarily indispensable for industry. It is conceivable that the light industry will blow out. In history, the inventor of the Jenny machine was smashed by the unemployed!

Natural sciences related to industry? Wait a few years, the papal meridian is demarcated, Protestantism sprouts, and Ferdinand can incarnate Newton.

At the same time, the government did not encourage the slave trade, and the slaves transported to the Americas by slave owners exceeded the quota, and once discovered, they were immediately confiscated, and then forced to hire a ten-year labor contract, convert to Catholicism, and then become free people. Further increase the industrial and agricultural labor force!

Haha, you can still be called a "liberator" if you make money!
