We have been educated in history books since childhood, saying that the bloody Western colonizers colonized Africa, brutally exploited the local people, and engaged in the bloody trade of black slaves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But what about the facts? Until 1876 AD, European colonists were reluctant to set foot in Africa! Why is Africa so close to Europe, but the Europeans are willing to take the Americas first, then the South Seas, India, the Middle East, Australia, and even use artillery to open the door of the Qing Dynasty, forcing the Qing government to open the country, but has not yet set foot on the African continent?

Because Africa is too undeveloped, the dense primeval forests are full of what the Han Chinese call miasma, and various tropical diseases stop Europeans. In contrast, although North America is also a primeval forest, the temperature is low, so there is no miasma of the rainforest, and the colonists can survive in North America.

But if the reader asks: Is there no tropics in other landmasses that the Europeans colonized?

Of course, there are tropics, Central America, Southeast Asia, the South Asian subcontinent, those are all tropical regions. But Mesoamerica, that's where human civilization exists! Because of the development of human civilization, primeval forests have been developed. The famous Mayan civilization is in Mesoamerica.

Because there is human civilization in Central America, Southeast Asia, and the South Asian subcontinent, there will not be too much tropical rainforest miasma, and there will be no terrible tropical diseases.

If we go back to Africa, before the nineteenth century, there was no human civilization on the continent of black Africa, that is, in the region of black Africa south of North Africa. Not to mention that there is civilization in people, because the black people back then were completely in the state of primitive people, which cannot be regarded as human civilization.

Sub-Saharan Africa, Egypt and later Arab civilizations existed, and sub-Saharan Africa was called Black Africa, but no civilization was born.

Since it did not enter the era of human civilization, the tropical diseases of black Africa stopped the European colonizers.

And what is the so-called slave trade? The first slave traders, the Green Cultists in southern Spain, yes, the Green Cult forces once entered the south of Spain and went to the other side of the Mediterranean. Originally, it was the black slaves brought by the Greens. Later, when the West entered the Age of Discovery, the Europeans who colonized South America could not adapt to the hot climate, and the smallpox brought by the Europeans destroyed the local people, so the Europeans thought of importing black slaves from Africa.

However, the harsh climate and terrifying tropical diseases in black Africa made the Western colonists dare not set foot in it, so the Westerners adopted the method of trading, establishing ports on the coast of Africa, and trading goods and commodities in exchange for black slaves and shipping them to the Americas.

In fact, the slave captors were not European colonizers, but the black Africans themselves!

Long before the arrival of the Arabs and Europeans, there were already wars between tribes on the continent, and most of the captured captives were killed in vain.

When the Arabs and later Europeans arrived, they only provided the blacks with better weapons, but in exchange for a large number of captives who were sent to the American continent as slaves.

So, Arabs and Europeans are actually saving more African lives.

Later, a black singer in the United States, after returning to Africa for a visit, left a message: "I am grateful to the white people who brought my ancestors out of Africa!" ”

What human rights? Emancipation of black slaves? It was all the act of the Virgin Mary, the white colonizers brought advanced materials to Africa, brought the development of civilization, trafficked black slaves to the Americas, and in fact rescued them!

Every time I think of some domestic virgins and black girls in later generations, I was fooled by the three non-black people, and thought that they were black people from the United States, but when I got along with people and gave birth to black children, I realized that I had been deceived, and I was not an American black person at all, but a black person from Africa!

Now Wang Xinyu is here, just to liberate the blacks.

For the Nanjing battleship of the Ming Army, the voyage was not only for military training, but also for selling weapons to Kunlun Prefecture. It was easy to get a battleship, but it was difficult to train sailors, and it was expected that the three battleships salvaged by the Ming army would be put into service by the end of the year. After completing the long-distance training, the battleship Nanjing just returned to China and formed a battleship formation to swim against the current and shell Jiangning, Anqing and other cities.

There is also Geng Jingzhong's internal response, and it will not be a problem to take Jiangning City.

It was expected that within three years, the Ming army would be able to form a formidable fleet with twenty battleships.

Liu Tao's boat came ashore, and five black soldiers jumped out of the boat first.

In the jungle, someone saw a person of the same color and appearance as himself appear by the river, so he turned around and whistled to give a signal.

A strange sound came, and a large group of black people came out of the jungle to Lord Liu Tao and his soldiers.

Liu Tao carefully looked at these black people who danced and sang around him, and his first impression was: These are uncivilized barbarians, right? Compared with the savages of the South Seas, these Kunlun people are more primitive and barbaric!

The blacks had no clothes on them, some of them covered the lower part with leaves, some of them didn't even have leaves, and they looked exactly like the gorillas in the forest. Most of the blacks had stone and bone weapons, and only a few had iron weapons.

Seeing Kunlun Nu, Liu Tao frowned.

To be honest, Liu Tao didn't like Kunlun slaves in the first place, thinking that they were not only ugly in appearance, but also had a very heavy body odor. It's just that Kunlun Nu, who followed the Ming army, can be regarded as being brought into civilization, and he can barely accept it.

However, when he arrived on the African continent, he found that this land was even more backward than the barbaric natives of the South Seas on the islands such as Luzon! At least before the arrival of the white colonizers in Nanyang, there was still a human civilization, they had their own countries, there were rulers from Tianzhu, there were also Han people in the past during the Song Dynasty, and Arabs, and the local acquaintances in Nanyang had also evolved to the point of civilization.

But even if it is the birth of Nanyang, it is better evolved than the Kunlun people here!

The five black soldiers took turns to communicate with the blacks in the indigenous language, but they talked for a long time, and the blacks were also arguing for a long time, and neither side could understand what they were saying.

"My lord, I'm really sorry!" A black soldier turned his head to apologize to Liu Tao with an apologetic face, "We have changed eight local dialects, and they still don't understand, and we can't understand what they say." ”

The five black soldiers came from five different tribes, and together they knew eight indigenous African languages. But there are so many tribes in Africa, almost every tribe has a different language, and there is no way to communicate at all.

"I'd better do it!" Liu Tao said helplessly.

The blacks walked up, and one of them, who looked like a leader, pointed to the knife at Liu Tao's waist and kept pointing fingers.

Liu Tao looked at the leader and wanted to find gold ornaments from him, but to his disappointment, even Nanyang Shengfan knew how to make gold into chain headdresses and the like, but this leader didn't have any gold ornaments on him, because they didn't know how to make gold into a string!

Liu Tao's eyes suddenly fell on the leader's waist, and he saw a yellow, orange and orange stone hanging from his waist, which was a piece of gold, a dog's head gold!

"You don't know how to make gold into ornaments?" Liu Tao shook his head and pointed to the piece of dog's head gold and gestured a few times.

A black soldier next to him said: "They don't know how to make metal, and processing gold is the easiest, but they can't, which is not as good as the natives of Nanyang." ”

To be honest, like these black soldiers who served in the Zheng family's army, they themselves looked down on uncivilized blacks, just as Michael Jackson himself looked down on blacks in later generations.

Seeing Liu Tao pointing to the piece of dog's head gold, the black leader took off the dog's head gold: "It's too cost-effective to exchange it for such a good knife for a worthless stone!" ”

Although he couldn't understand what the black leader said, Liu Tao took the goutou gold and handed the knife over.

The black man took the knife excitedly, and looked at it in his hand with love, this is a knife made of fine iron, although it is not as good as the knife used by the Ming army itself, but this weapon is definitely the best weapon in Africa.

"The language barrier is a big problem, and we can't rush it, so let's take it slowly." Liu Tao turned his head and said.

It is said that the African continent is full of gold, but the fatal miasma has blocked the footsteps of outsiders from entering Africa, Liu Tao doesn't want to give his life here in vain, life is very good, and he wants to live a few more years.

"You can hire locals and build a port. Then we sent a part of the indigenous slaves of the South Seas to build. A soldier said to Liu Tao.

"That's all there is to it! Take your time step by step, anyway, you can't rush. Liu Tao nodded.

……

Far away in the North Atlantic, a fleet flying the Dutch flag is sailing towards the Dutch mainland.

This was the fleet of the Dutch returning home, and it took them nearly a year to return to Europe after they left Japan. If Wang Xinyu is lucky enough to come to the North Atlantic at this time, he will be able to understand why Europeans call the Pacific Ocean the Pacific Ocean, because the wind and waves in the Pacific Ocean are simply calm compared to the North Atlantic!

The Dutch expeditionary fleet returned in vain, and on this expedition, the Dutch not only wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, but also lost thousands of sailors in vain, and even did not recover the lost Batavia, and the only result was to go to Japan to plunder. However, the country was threatened by the English, and the Anglo-Dutch war had broken out.

But there was even worse news: it was said that all the Dutch strongholds in North America had been lost! New Amsterdam fell into the hands of the English, and the Dutch were about to be driven out of North America! (To be continued.) )
