……

It can be seen that this song "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse" has aroused heated discussions and memes among modern netizens.

The ancients didn't understand why.

I just think this song is cheerful and nice to listen to.

Naturally, everyone listened with a relaxed attitude.

But after the song was finished.

New relevant canopies emerge.

[The black slave trade triangle! How bloody was the primitive accumulation of capital? ]

[In the 18th century, the Port of Liverpool was bustling with thousands of sails and whistles, presenting a scene of busy trade.]

[However, beneath this prosperous appearance, every merchant ship leaving the port hides a bloody secret.]

[The deck of the merchant ship was filled with shackled African slaves.]

[The cabin was filled with firearms, rum, and cheap industrial products.]

[This is the "triangular trade" led by Britain. ]

[A feast of capital plunder that lasted for three centuries and spanned three continents. ]

[It is also one of the darkest chapters in the history of human civilization.]

【At the end of the 16th century, Spain and Portugal established colonies in the New World, and the plantation economy in America rose rapidly. 】

[The cultivation of cash crops such as sugarcane, tobacco, and cotton requires a large amount of labor. ]

【However, due to the massacres by European colonists and the ravages of diseases, the indigenous Indians were almost extinct. 】

【So, European colonists turned their attention to Africa. 】

[This continent is regarded by them as a labor warehouse. ]

[Britain was not the first country to participate in the slave trade.]

[As early as the 15th century, the Portuguese began to send slaves to Brazil, and the Dutch and French followed closely.]

[However, with its strong naval power and industrial strength, Britain gradually replaced other competitors in the late 17th century. ]

[In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht granted Britain a monopoly on the slave trade in Spanish America.]

[This marked the official rise of Britain as the overlord of Atlantic trade.]

[At that time, Europe, especially Britain, was undergoing rapid changes.]

[Capitalism is booming and handicraft workshops are thriving, but there is a big problem behind this: shortage of raw materials and a small market.]

[Greed and desire flashed in the eyes of British merchants, and a cross-oceanic drama of plunder and trade began.]

【Triangular trade! 】

[The triangular trade route is like a precision-operated wealth-extracting machine, the core of which lies in three voyages, each of which can bring huge profits:]

【First is the first voyage: from Europe to Africa. 】

[British merchant ships set out from ports such as Liverpool and Bristol, loaded with guns, gunpowder, cloth and rum, heading for the west coast of Africa.]

[After arriving in Africa, these goods were used to bribe local chiefs in exchange for prisoners of war or looted blacks. ] [At this time in Africa, there were many tribes, and different ethnic groups had their own way of life. ]

【And Europeans would encourage wars between different tribes to gain benefits. 】

[Countless strong black men, women and even children were forcibly dragged from their homes, driven and loaded onto ships like livestock.]

[On average, a ship would carry 400 to 600 slaves, who were packed into the tiny holds like sardines.]

【Second voyage: from Africa to America. 】

[To prevent the slaves from rebelling, they were chained tightly and could only huddle in a small space of only 0.5 square meters.]

【Diseases and hunger were rampant, and many people chose to commit suicide. The bodies of slaves who died or committed suicide were thrown directly into the sea.】

[During transportation, the mortality rate is as high as 20%. ]

[Even if there were survivors who made it to America, they would be auctioned off to plantations like livestock.]

[Plantations are scattered all over the vast land of America, especially plantations of cash crops such as sugarcane, tobacco, and cotton, which are in urgent need of a large number of laborers.]

[Black slaves were forced to work day and night, bending over to hoe the fields and harvest crops under the scorching sun. If they slacked off, they would be beaten by the supervisors.]

[They worked all their lives in this distant land until they died.]

【The third voyage: from America to Europe. 】

[Merchant ships returned to England loaded with sugar, tobacco, cotton, gold and silver from America.]

[These raw materials greatly promoted the development of the British Industrial Revolution, and the finished goods produced in Britain were shipped to Africa again.]

[This forms a complete trade cycle. ]

[An ordinary slave ship captured about 400-600 black people from Africa, with an average cost of only about 25 pounds.]

[After being shipped to America, each black person could be sold for around 150 pounds! ]

[At that time, the annual income of a British craftsman was only about 25 pounds. ]

[Regardless of the cargo, a ship could be sold for tens of thousands of pounds just for slaves! ]

[After deducting the costs of purchasing goods, operating the ship, and paying staff salaries, the net profit for a trip was often as high as thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds, which was an astronomical figure at the time.]

[A slave trading ship can make its owner a millionaire by doing a few triangular trades.]

[It is estimated that a complete triangular trade can generate a profit of 300 percent.]

And outside the sky.

Spring and Autumn.

Confucius frowned deeply.

"These British barbarians are so unjust!"

"Using people as goods is a complete loss of conscience. Such behavior will be punished by heaven."

"The English are really barbaric."

"But I remember Tianmu mentioned that Britain was a top power in later generations and was even the world's most powerful country."

"Could it be on the international stage in the future?"

"The British are synonymous with barbarians?"

Warring States Period.

Shang Yang, who was still in the learning stage at this time, was enlightened when he saw the slave trade on the sky.

"Wonderful! The barbarians have mastered the art of controlling the people!"

“The scene is indeed bloody and cruel.”

“But it’s useful!”

"Weaken their bodies with chains, confuse their minds with paganism, and cut off their way home by sea, and you can get a long-term labor force!"

"If this strategy is applied to the surrounding Rongdi..."

"Perhaps we can learn from Tianmu and write a memorial on strengthening the country through slave trade!"

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang disliked the British.

"The slave trade tactics of these British barbarians are cruel and shameless."

"If I were in the future, I would send troops to destroy the British foreign fleet."

"Then……"

"Put black slaves in the prison camp to build the Great Wall!"

And in the late Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen first sighed and said, "These Kunlun slaves are indeed miserable."

"I heard that there are captured black slaves among the Portuguese mercenaries."

“I didn’t expect the Portuguese were just an appetizer.”

"It was the British who killed the most black people."

"Speaking of this triangular trade..."

"The annual profit of a merchant ship is so high!"

"I wonder if the Ming Dynasty has the ability to participate in the triangular trade?" (End of this chapter)
