Chapter 493: The Dutch Are Really Weak

Embrace civilization?

Chelsea thought for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization.

"In the words of His Highness, yes, these natives have been baptized by civilization. They have now begun to become like the people of civilized countries, although they are still a little barbaric in their bones, but these people, under the discipline of the Dutch and the Spaniards, also more or less know some of the rules of the world. ”

Chelsea said it very easily, but Zhao Hongyu knew how much blood and tears of indigenous people were contained in it.

Yes, what would happen to the natives under Dutch and Spanish rule if they had to accept civilization?

Slaughter!

Slaughter!

Or kill!

This is what the Spaniards and the Dutch are best at.

"Thanks to the Dutch and the Spaniards, these natives have accepted civilization, so some of our decrees are easy for them to understand. Otherwise, we're going to have a hard time. Chelsea smiled at Zhao Hongyu. When the Spaniards came to this side of the Caribbean, they suffered a lot from dealing with these natives. ”

Of course Zhao Hongyu understands what Chelsea said.

As a person of later generations, how could he not be clear about this history.

In fact, Chelsea have one less to say, and that is the Portuguese.

The Portuguese were the first country to discover the Americas, and they did not miss these natives when they dealt with the natives of the Caribbean.

These white-skinned Europeans did not treat the natives as human beings at all.

They used deception and lies to plunge these poor and simple natives into a life of war.

And these white-skinned people are making a fortune behind the scenes.

Of course, natives aren't fools.

After the end, they saw through the tricks of seemingly good friends, and after the worst, they united and began to resist these white skins.

At that time, Portugal was originally going to clean up these natives, but it was only because Spain annexed Portugal at that time that this thing was not done.

But. It didn't matter if the grapes weren't made by others, and the Spaniards took over from the Portuguese to finish what they didn't finish.

And the Spaniards went beyond what they did, crushing a huge Mayan empire.

Of course, there were many reasons for the collapse of the Mayan Empire, and Spain was only one of them.

Killing each other, the use of human sacrifices to reduce combat power, and the plague epidemic were the main reasons for the collapse of the Mayan Empire.

It is inconceivable that the Spaniards could bring down an empire of more than 300,000 people with only a few hundred troops.

"The natives who live in the city of Cayenne today. Most of them have been baptized by European civilization, so they have a high degree of acceptance of European civilization, although they still retain some of the customs and beliefs of the indigenous tribes. But they can actually be regarded as world-famous people, which is very different from those natives who live in the jungle. ”

After listening to Chelsea's words, Zhao Hongyu certainly understood.

Thanks to the Dutch and the Spaniards.

It was they who used the means to assimilate these natives for decades.

It is also thanks to them that they are wicked, otherwise wouldn't they have to do such things themselves?

So, Chelsea wasn't wrong at all. I owe a debt of gratitude to the Dutch and the Spaniards.

However, the way to thank them is to drive them out of the Caribbean!

Wow haha!

Zhao Hongyu smiled secretly in his heart.

"You just said that there are some indigenous tribes in the jungle outside. They didn't choose to live in the city? ”

Thinking of what Chelsea said just now, Zhao Hongyu asked with a slight frown.

Chelsea nodded and replied, "Yes, the natives in the forest are much more savage than the natives in the city. They still retain the custom of cannibalism. And some of the sacrifices are very bloody and difficult to manage. ”

It looks like the Caribbean side is going to develop slowly.

Zhao Hongyu thought in his heart for a moment.

If what Chelsea say is true. Then I might as well follow the example of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and make those natives accept assimilation in a short period of time through killing.

Cannibalism, as well as the custom of sacrificing living people, Zhao Hongyu really can't stand it.

But he can't say that those tribes don't do it, because you don't care about people's customs.

But it doesn't work.

At the end of the day, the conflict is certain.

Since this is the case, it depends on whether Zhao Hongyu can be ruthless.

Seeing Zhao Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, Chelsea whispered: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this, the uncivilized natives outside are actually very easy to deal with, because the natives in the city don't look down on them, so we just need to make good use of it, and we can achieve the purpose of governing the natives with the natives." ”

Yo, the young man is growing up now.

I still know what to do.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu looked at Chelsea.

Feeling Zhao Hongyu's gaze, Chelsea became a little embarrassed.

He raised his hand in embarrassment and scratched the back of his head, and smirked.

"Okay, you even have such an idea, not bad."

Zhao Hongyu can be regarded as having figured it out, and sometimes his heart should be harder.

Anyway, they will leave Cayenne by then, and it's up to them how they toss Chelsea, as long as there is no turmoil here.

It's just that you can't see it.

Since the Dutch and Spaniards worked so well, it didn't matter if they inherited it themselves, did it?

In this era, there is no United Nations, no Internet, and no people will criticize people, so as long as you can't see it, then everything is OK.

Crimes against humanity cannot be inflicted on one's own head.

What the Spaniards did and the Dutch did, can't they do it themselves?

Of course, you have to ask Wang Shan about this.

After receiving Zhao Hongyu's praise at this time, Chelsea said: "This method is not what I thought of, but the way that the adjutants around me thought of, I just conveyed their meaning, and His Highness's praise made me really embarrassed." ”

Zhao Hongyu's eyes lit up.

"What do the lieutenants around you mean?"

Of course, Zhao Hongyu knew who those lieutenants around Chelsea were.

Those are all citizens of the Chinese Empire.

Don't look at Chelsea, who is now the commander of the Caribbean Fleet. But the power of government here in the Caribbean is not in his hands.

At the same time, in order to guard against some things, the adjutants around Chelsea and some fleet non-commissioned officers in the middle and lower ranks are all Chinese genetic people.

This also puts an end to Chelsea's rebellion for their own private interests.

And Zhao Hongyu's concern about Chelsea's approach is precisely the opinion of Chinese citizens.

After all, if this matter is put in the future generations, it will be absolutely anti-human.

Indigenous people are also human.

If the Dutch and the Spaniards had done the same thing, the massacre would have been inevitable, wouldn't it?

But Chelsea said that the adjutants, that is, the Chinese adjutants, came up with this solution.

Doesn't that mean. Those Chinese lieutenants were actually not averse to killing.

Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu changed the topic, after all, Cayenne's side is not only an indigenous problem.

Seeing Zhao Hongyu's inquiry, Chelsea of course told Zhao Hongyu everything they knew, and did not hide it at all.

"Your Highness, the climate here is good, and when the Dutch ruled here, they used it as a grain base. So we also intend to inherit it and continue to grow food. ”

Although the Song Empire was not short of food, even if it was not enough, it could be purchased from the Virtual World Realm.

But as a European, especially a hungry European, Chelsea's dedication to food is very strong.

For this. Zhao Hongyu's arrival is also understandable.

"Do the Dutch just grow food here?"

Zhao Hongyu recalled the history in his mind and said to Chelsea.

Chelsea shook his head and said: "Of course not, the Dutch also grow sugar cane here. It is used to make sucrose. There are also tobacco fields cultivated by the Dutch, and most of Europe's tobacco and cane sugar are produced here in the Caribbean. ”

Zhao Hongyu listened. He nodded secretly.

No, historically, Europeans did this on this side of the Caribbean.

And the climate on this side of the Caribbean Sea is indeed suitable for growing these things.

But, according to Chelsea, just growing these things is of little use to the Empire.

How can the value of this thing be higher than that of refined white sugar purchased from the virtual world?

Tobacco is good, but the problem is that there are far fewer smokers in Europeans in this era than in later generations.

Therefore, the profits brought by tobacco are not necessarily so large.

"Your Highness, do you have any other ideas?"

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was silent, he looked thoughtful.

Chelsea asked hurriedly.

Yes, of course Zhao Hongyu has other ideas.

"How many acres of fertile land are left by the Dutch here, and how many tobacco fields are there?"

Zhao Hongyu asked.

Chelsea replied: "There are 100,000 acres of grain fields, 10,000 acres of tobacco fields, and a few miscellaneous corn fields and cocoa groves. ”

Cacao!

Zhao Hongyu raised his eyebrows.

Isn't this just coffee, it's a good thing.

Coffee from this side of the Caribbean is a good thing, and it will be able to sell for a lot of money in future generations.

But it seems to listen to Chelsea, as if there is not a lot of coffee.

Therefore, the self in front of the eyes may not be able to count on it.

There are also too few fields for growing food and tobacco fields.

The Dutch are really weak, they have ruled Cayenne for so many years, and they have cultivated so little land.

The land on the American side of the country is more than 10 million acres.

In fact, Zhao Hongyu really blamed the Dutch, he didn't take into account the population of Cayenne and the various conditions faced by the Dutch.

"Your Highness, it's time for the Governor's Palace."

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped.

The group has arrived at the Governor's Palace. (To be continued......)
