PFC Chapter 308 Black Slaves
Chapter 308 Black Slaves
"Your Highness, Corunna has been captured." Felicitous said respectfully after entering the hall.
"Well, well done." The man said happily.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Ning Quan, the ninth prince of the Daqian Dynasty."
"Ninth Prince! Are you the Ninth Prince of Daqian? The Ninth Prince who destroyed the Huns?" Colonna said in surprise.
"Yes, it's me." Ning Quan said with a smile.
"How is this possible? How could you come to America?" Colonna's eyes widened when he heard the other party admit it.
"Haha, why can't I come to America?"
"Well, I don't have time to talk to you about this now."
"General Chen, start the action immediately."
Ning Quan looked at him coldly and then gave orders.
"As you command, Your Highness!"
Chen Qingzhi responded and turned to leave the hall.
Afterwards, Chen Qianzhi commanded his soldiers to attack the Portuguese warships in the harbor.
At the same time, the navy fleet led by Liu Rengui also appeared outside the port and opened fire on the Portuguese warships.
Caught off guard, the Portuguese warships suffered heavy damage.
"Damn it, who attacked us?"
The Portuguese commanders who stayed behind on the warships roared in anger.
Immediately led the Portuguese warships to launch a counterattack, preparing for a decisive battle with the Daqian Navy
However, when two cannonballs whizzed in and instantly blew one of the warships into pieces, the remaining Portuguese warships immediately chose to surrender.
Are you kidding me? What kind of artillery is this?
It was too powerful, its strength was beyond imagination, how could they dare to resist.
The Portuguese warships surrendered, and the other merchant ships dared not move at all and immediately raised the white flag.
In just half an hour, Ning Quan successfully captured the entire Portuguese fleet and captured two thousand Portuguese soldiers and sailors.
In addition, there were a large amount of supplies and more than 30,000 black slaves.
These black slaves were brought from Africa. They were tied up hands and feet and stuffed into the cabin, and were transported thousands of miles.
Due to the harsh conditions and the torture of diseases, their skin became sallow and their bones were bony, making them look as terrifying as skeletons.
When the soldiers opened the cabin, they were all shocked.
This is simply not treating them as human beings, they are even worse than livestock.
However, these black slaves had long been accustomed to it. No one felt uncomfortable or sad, but was simply numb.
"Put them off the boat and take them ashore to a safe place."
Chen Qingzhi immediately gave the order.
"Yes, General!"
The soldiers obeyed the order immediately.
Soon, these black slaves were transported from the ship to the shore one by one.
Because he knew in advance that he would need to accommodate black slaves, Chen Qianzhi built a temporary base outside the castle early on.
The stronghold was large enough to accommodate 30,000 black slaves and was equipped with doctors and cooks who were responsible for taking care of the slaves and providing them with food.
We finally got the black slaves, so of course we can't let them die easily.
Ning Quan struggled for a long time about whether to use black slaves before finally making a decision.
In this world, kindness is useless.
The development of history is always accompanied by blood, without exception.
For such a vast America, it is far from enough to rely solely on immigrants to explore and develop it. There must be sufficient labor force.
And black slaves were undoubtedly the best choice.
So, black slaves must be used.
Of course, Ning Quan would not treat them too badly, at least he would make sure they had enough to eat.
But if you are unwilling to obey orders or run away, that is another matter.
The large number of black slaves coming ashore also aroused the interest of Li Wanyue and Sikong Ruo.
The two hurried to the city wall to watch.
"These are the black slaves? They are so pitiful!"
Looking at the skinny black slave, Li Wanyue couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, how could they treat them like this?"
"It would be better to kill them."
Sikong Ruo also sighed.
"I hope my husband can take over so that they can live better." Li Wanyue murmured.
She didn't like seeing this scene, it made her feel upset.
"Don't worry, my husband will definitely treat them well." Sikong Ruo said with a smile.
"Ok!"
Li Wanyue nodded slightly.
Then she looked toward the horizon.
......
at the same time
Daqian, southern Fujian and coastal counties.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince issued a notice calling on people from all over the country to immigrate to Australia."
"What? Immigrating to Australia? Where is Australia?"
"Australia! I heard it's south of the South Seas. Rumor has it the land there is fertile and unowned."
"Wow, really? If we go to Australia, wouldn't there be plenty of land there?"
"Yes, it's stated in the notice that as long as you cultivate the land yourself, it will belong to you in the future!"
"Really? That's great! I'm going to go and sign up there!"
"I heard we need to go to Tamsui to sign up."
......
With the issuance of Zhou Yu’s immigration announcement.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the entire southern Fujian region was in an uproar, with countless people becoming interested.
Not only in southern Fujian, but also in other coastal counties, people became interested after learning about this announcement.
After all, you can get your own land, the temptation is too great.
This is true for the common people, and even more so for the major families.
"Father, this is true. It is said that Australia is very large, even larger than our Daqian. And the entire Australia has a population of less than a few hundred thousand. We must not let go of such a large land."
In a certain mansion, the eldest son of the family anxiously said to the old man sitting in the first seat.
"Old man, this opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"We must act now and seize this opportunity to seize the initiative and not fall behind other families."
The same thing was happening in another house.
......
In just half a month, the entire Daqian territory was in turmoil.
Countless people are interested and are preparing to go to Tamsui City to register for immigration.
Especially those aristocratic families, they are ready to make a move.
Not to mention the coveted land, the fact that the Ninth Prince is currently in the limelight is worth actively approaching him.
Isn't it the usual strategy of aristocratic families to have the best of both worlds?
The court will certainly not sit idly by in the face of this uproar.
All the people have left, how can this be tolerated?
Ning Yuanwu immediately issued an order to all prefectures and counties, strictly prohibiting people from leaving their hometowns without permission, otherwise they would be severely punished.
But the effect seems to be not obvious, especially for people living in coastal areas.
Because they all have fishing boats, whenever they want to go, they can take the fishing boat and go to Tamsui with their whole family.
Although Ning Yuanwu instructed the navy to intercept, how big is the sea?
How difficult is it to intercept?
Of course, only a few people are willing to leave with their families, so it will not shake the foundation of Daqian.
.......
Ning Quan, who was far away in Maguana, naturally didn't know about all this.
