Chapter 751: Categories of Colonialism
Director Wang Guotao knew about the Ming Gu Jianshan from the work report.
At that time, on the island of Madagascar, the Ming people Gujianshan went deep into the forest under the guidance of a local trader and under the protection of the umbrella security personnel.
I don't know who was lucky, just in time for a tribe to find a few huge elephant eggs!
This is a good thing, not counting the egg white, the egg yolk alone has 9.4 liters!
Of course, the natives don't know this unit of measurement, but they do know that it will be a big meal.
Mingren Gu Jianshan was attracted by the appearance of the egg at that time, my god, it can't be a phoenix in this, right?!
He didn't talk nonsense, he smiled and pulled out a few boxes of matches and a bunch of sausages.
I didn't need to say anything, I just struck a match!
The patriarch with a bright bird feather in his head immediately shouted!
β@#οΏ₯οΏ₯%οΌβ
Mingren Gu Jianshan didn't understand what he was calling, and he didn't want to understand, so he took a sausage and handed it to him, signaling that he could eat it.
The bird feathers on the head of the patriarch are far more beautiful than the bird feathers on the heads of the Tartar officials, and I heard that the Tartars still calculate the official position according to the marks on the bird feathers, and many Ming people were impressed by this bird feathers.
No way! Mingren Gu Jianshan sighed with emotion, only people who live in the forest can be like this, right?
He was playing with his white straw hat and flicking his ponytail with emotion.
I just took a few more glances at the bird feathers on that end, and the patriarch actually ate a sausage!
I said, that's a pound!
Then the patriarch licked his fingers and bargained with them.
Maybe he had never seen a flavoring before, or maybe the taste had finally conquered him.
With the help of the local vendor, the two sides agreed to an exchange.
A box of matches, two sausages, an egg for one, this condition is okay.
The patriarch kept licking his fingers, and at that time, the Ming people Gu Jianshan endured the nausea and agreed.
At the same time, the Ming people Gu Jianshan promised that if they found this kind of egg again and sent it to any Ming shop in the port of Nakaldo, they could get double the exchange, and they could also give them iron tools.
The local trader was stunned for a moment, and said in Portuguese: "Respected and noble Great Merchant of Gujian Mountain, I want to tell you that the iron tools here are generally no less than one riyal - if it is only for some birds' eggs, I am afraid that you will suffer, do you see the excited expression of that patriarch?" β
Mingren Gu Jianshan knew that now the Hantang Group was hesitating to build a base in Madagascar or South Africa, as they called it.
But these are none of his business, he just wants to do a good job in the tasks assigned by the Hantang Group.
Now, in the southeast of Madagascar, there is a place called Nakaldo, where there is a relatively formal port, where some merchants have come to do business on their own initiative, but now there are only a few.
The Ming people and Gu Jianshan knew them because they needed to go to Goa, India, to buy goods.
And in the Goa region of India, there is no one who does not know the great merchants of Gujianshan.
He is a member of the Hantang Group.
The Ming man Gu Jianshan said to the local trader, "They are not considered savages here, are they?" β
The vendor said, "No, I've been here a few times a long time ago, or if you talk about the huge bird, I'll remember this place - it's strange, I've seen big birds before, but now I don't!" β
It must have run deeper into the forest!
Mingren Gu Jianshan said: "Are there any wild people here who eat people? β
The local vendor laughed, his mouth full of black teeth, and he said, "There are savages who kill people and rob goods, I am over forty years old, and I have never heard of savages who kill people and eat peopleβ"
Mingren Gu Jianshan tried not to look at his teeth, and the sunglasses he put on, he felt that the sun was not so dazzling, and said:
"Well, I just want such eggs, you go and buy them, I'll give you a good price or let you get a snow candy monopoly in the city of Imalina in the middle of Madagascar - go to Goa and find me when the time comes, as long as you ask any beautiful woman in Daming City, no one will disown me-"
The local vendor's mouth opened wider and showed more black teeth.
Mingren Gu Jianshan said: "By the way, don't forget the seeds of the baobab tree - all kinds of them, each of which is ten catties!" β
"Understood, understood! Go back to Nakaldo Harbor and have a good rest - I promise it will be done, as long as you can get Snow Candy in Daming City in Goa! β
Mingren Gu Jianshan waved his hand weakly, indicating that everything was nothing.
They put away the elephant eggs and carried them behind their backs, not trusting those people to do it.
Even a local trader could see that the Ming people Gu Jianshan was tired, this was not physical tiredness, but mental tiredness.
Men are like this, if there is no woman around, the heart will be lonely;
But if there are too many women around, the heart will be tired, really tired.
This knows no time and space, as long as you are sincere to every woman.
The story of the Ming people's ancient sword mountain will be told later.
Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world after Greenland, New Guinea and Kalimantan in the southeast of the African continent, facing the continent across the Mozambique Channel, with a maximum distance of 386 kilometers and an area of 627,000 square kilometers.
As early as the 1st-10th centuries AD, Indonesians and Arabs moved in and moved to the island of Madagascar, and intermarried with the locals to form the Malagasy people, which can be seen from their skin, which is not too dark.
In the 14th century, state organizations emerged along the central and southeastern coasts, mostly in the form of villages and towns, and at most a county seat.
In the 16th century, the Melina established the Kingdom of Imelina in the central part of the country, with the city of Imelina as its capital.
Even now, their total population is no more than 200,000.
However, the island has a good climate, fertile land, tropical rainforests and grasslands that can kill people, suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, and the economy is okay, and you can eat well all year round.
There are a lot of cattle here, but the breed is not as good as in India, and after seeing the cattle used for transportation in the city, the Ming people Gu Jianshan immediately understood why there was no order for him to transport cattle.
However, the Ming people Gu Jianshan calculated, if a knife and an axe can be exchanged for a cow, coupled with large-scale professional transportation, just like the Hantang Group transporting Indian buffaloes, not counting the cost on the road, the profit is not smaller than that of transportation from India.
He had eaten the local beef in Puerto Nakaldo and it tasted quite good.
But this business is too worrying, wait, wait for the emotional matters to be dealt with first.
Perhaps because of race, the people of Melina were obviously better at business than the Black Uncles on the other side, so the economy here could be better.
South Africa is mentioned here again.
The earliest indigenous inhabitants of South Africa were the San people, the Khoi people, and the Bantu people, who later migrated south.
About two years ago, in 1652, the Dutch began colonizing the Cape Territory.
Speaking of South Africa, we have to mention the Cape of Good Hope, but children know stories about the Portuguese in the Age of Discovery, how they discovered the Cape of Good Hope, and so on.
The focus of the Portuguese voyages at that time was to circumnavigate the Cape of Storms, and as for the Cape of Good Hope, the Portuguese did not actually operate it.
It was the Dutch who actually landed, and began to operate in substance, who came later than them.
Before the Dutch arrived in 1652, who were the aborigines of South Africa?
Far from being black, but yellow-skinned natives, there may be an Austronesian component here.
This has to wait until the people of the Hantang Group log in to verify them one by one.
What was the state of these sparsely populated natives at that time?
They are also patrilineal Stone Age.
They lived a life of picking wild fruits, hunting antelopes, living in caves, wearing bark, and the average age was not more than 20 years old.
Moreover, the language function is still in its infancy, and there are only simple onomatopoeia for babbling, so the Dutch call them, which means Dutch, stutterer, and little stammer.
Therefore, Captain Daru, the hero of the indigenous security team of the Hantang Group, stammered a little, which is very normal.
And what if you ask blacks?
In fact, they are also foreign colonizers.
They come from the Cameroonian highlands, belong to the Bantu tribes, and are in the Iron Age.
From now on, in a few decades, they will invade South Africa by land from the north, slaughtering the local indigenous people and occupying the land.
Of course, history has always been expressed by those in power, and they will come up with different histories according to different needs.
So, sometimes, such a history, you can't look at the bound version, you can only look at the single version, and it is a single version of a different era.
That's why people don't like doing it like the archives department of the Hantang Group.
They always record the facts so coldly, every order has a final signatory, and they don't have the words of a leadership decision, a superior decision, or a collective decision.
If you want to look it up, you'll find the original record of who decided on a policy, and there's no dispute at all.
Therefore, the descendants of the Han and Tang groups, mainly very young people, often laughed at how clumsy or cruel their ancestors were at that time.
Such cute whales, they are actually one of the industrial raw materials!
I went, and casually a small hydropower station solved the lighting of a town!
At the end of the 17th century, there were still people on the island of Taiwan who used whale oil lamps for lighting -- many high school students vigorously criticized this, and of course, maybe their teachers looked at them and laughed, let them accuse them first, and then talk about it.
I'm sorry, I digressed, today day, I have gained so many monthly passes, so I have the strength to compete with the so-called gods on the monthly ticket list of the vertical and horizontal Chinese network, but I am currently very lagging behind, so when recording the story of the Hantang Group, I have this uneasiness.
Then again.
Throughout the history of colonization in the world, there are generally two main categories and three ways.
The first category is the barbaric conquest of civilization.
The Southern Song Dynasty met the Mongols, the Ming met the Tatars, the Greeks met Macedonia, and others.
Don't say anything at this time, large-scale slaughter is a must.
The reverse development of culture is a must!
Don't mess around with what is positive and negative, just look at common sense, and compare it with other regions of the same era.
When a civilized nation encounters a backward native, there are nothing more than three mentalities, one of which is prejudice, Spain, Portugal and other countries with a strong Catholic tradition, when they encounter the natives, their first reaction is to think that they have encountered the devil, so in order to protect God, to get rid of the devil, they also engage in massacres!
The second group is the proud Protestant states such as England, who are so proud that they look down on the natives, but they will not slaughter them, so they build reservations and enclose the natives in the matter, out of sight and out of mind.
The third category is the Han and Tang groups, and their ethnic policy is that there is no ethnic policy.
They love cultural diversity, but that doesn't mean you can deviate from the basic rules and ethics of the Han Tang Group.
For example, natives who like to rob with knives are not allowed to exist, and you will be judged and punished accordingly, and there is no place to negotiate.
For example, they can let Muslim merchants live in the Red Bandar area, but your mosque can't be built, because we demand that all religions must serve the community, not a certain group of people.
Because the area under the rule of the Han and Tang groups is a human society, not a society of a certain type of people.
After this, of course, the uniqueness of religion will also be respected.
Now the question arises, is it better to build a base on the island of Madagascar, or in South Africa?
When everyone argued, they found out that this was not a problem, and it was best to build both bases!
One has human resources, and the other has land.
Of course, this is far different from their current attitude towards the city of Guangzhou.
The big argument is of course, because these are two different things.
Thanks to the platinum alliance leader Qingfeng mouse, the silver alliance leader MM daddy, the alliance leader laser310, the alliance leader sour grapes, the alliance leader gaulyork, Xiao Xiang, cmd19764, h36900, jedi1029, lff0305, sincere and casual support.
I beg your pardon for this chapter.
