Chelsea thought for a moment after hearing this, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"What His Highness said is to the point. Yes, these natives have accepted the baptism of civilization. They have now begun to become the same as people in civilized countries. Although they are still a little barbaric in their bones, these people are still in the Netherlands. Under the tutelage of the Spaniards, I also learned more or less some world-famous rules."
Chelsea said it very easily, but Zhao Hongyu knew how much blood and tears of the indigenous people were contained in it.
Yes, what would happen to the natives under the rule of the Dutch and Spanish if they wanted to accept civilization.
Killing!
Killing!
Still killing!
This is what the Spaniards and the Dutch are best at.
"Thanks to the Dutch and Spanish, these natives have accepted civilization, so they can easily understand some of our laws. Otherwise, we would have to work hard." Chelsea smiled. Said to Zhao Hongyu. "When the Spaniards came to this side of the Caribbean, they suffered a lot from dealing with these indigenous people."
Zhao Hongyu certainly understands what Chelsea said.
As a person of later generations, how could he not be clear about this period of history.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? out
The Portuguese were the first country to discover the Americas. When they dealt with the indigenous people in the Caribbean, they did not fail to trick these indigenous people.
These white-skinned Europeans don¡¯t regard the indigenous people as human beings at all.
They used deception and lies to plunge these poor and simple indigenous people into a war-torn life.
And these white-skinned people are making a fortune behind the scenes.
Of course, the natives are not fools.
In the end, they saw through the tricks of seemingly good friends, and finally united to boycott these white-skinned people.
At that time, Portugal originally wanted to take care of these indigenous people, but it was only because Spain annexed Portugal that this matter was not done.
but. It didn't matter that others didn't finish the job. In the end, the Spaniards took over from the Portuguese to complete what they had not finished.
¡°And the Spaniards overfulfilled their quota and brought the huge Mayan Empire to collapse.
Of course, there were many reasons for the collapse of the Mayan Empire, and Spain was just one of them.
Killing each other, using human sacrifices to drastically reduce combat power, coupled with the epidemic of plague, were the main reasons for the collapse of the Mayan Empire.
It is a fantasy that the Spaniards destroyed an empire with a population of more than 300,000 people with only a few hundred troops.
"Most of the indigenous people living in Cayenne City today have been baptized by European civilization, so they are very receptive to European civilization. Although they still retain some customs and beliefs of indigenous tribes, they can actually be considered famous. People in the world are very different from the indigenous people living in the jungle."
After listening to Chelsea¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu certainly understood.
??This is really a big thank you to the Dutch and the Spanish.
It took decades for them to use their own methods to assimilate these indigenous people.
It¡¯s also thanks to them being evil people, otherwise wouldn¡¯t such things have to be done by oneself?
So, what Chelsea said is not wrong at all. I should be grateful to the Dutch and the Spanish.
But 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 still some indigenous tribes in the jungle outside. They didn't choose to live in the city?"
Thinking of what Chelsea just said, Zhao Hongyu frowned slightly and asked.
Chelsea nodded and replied: "Yes, compared to the indigenous people in the city, the indigenous people in the forest are much more barbaric. They still retain the custom of cannibalism. And some of the sacrifice methods are very bloody. It¡¯s very difficult to manage.¡±
It seems that the Caribbean is slowly developing.
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while.
¡°If what Chelsea said is true. Then maybe you have to follow the example of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and use killing methods to get the natives to accept assimilation in a short period of time.
Zhao Hongyu really can¡¯t stand the customs of cannibalism and human sacrifice.
"But he can't tell those tribes not to do this, because how can you control other people's customs?
But it¡¯s impossible to ignore it.
In the end, conflict is certain.
In this case, it depends on whether Zhao Hongyu can be cruel.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu frowning slightly, Chelsea whispered: "Your Highness, there is no need to be upset about this. The uncivilized natives outside are actually very easy to deal with, because the natives in the city look down on them, so we just need to If we make good use of it, we can achieve the goal of governing the indigenous people with the indigenous people."
¡°Oh, the young man is making progress now.
You actually know what to use to treat what.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu looked at Chelsea.
Feeling Zhao Hongyu¡¯s gaze, Chelsea became a little embarrassed.
He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and giggled.
"Okay, you actually have such an idea, not bad, not bad."
Zhao Hongyu finally figured it out. Sometimes he should be harder-hearted.
¡°Anyway, I will leave Cayenne by then. It¡¯s up to Chelsea and the others to do whatever they want. As long as there is no unrest here, that¡¯s fine.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Indulge could only be made out of sight.
Since this method of the Dutch and Spanish is very effective, then it doesn¡¯t matter if you inherit it, right?
In this era, there is no United Nations, no Internet, and there will be no criticism, so as long as you can't see it, everything will be fine.
Crimes against humanity cannot be committed on oneself.
¡°The Spaniards did it, the Dutch did it, why can¡¯t I do it myself?
Of course, we have to ask Wang Shan about this.
After receiving praise from Zhao Hongyu, Chelsea said: "This method was not thought of by me, but by the lieutenants around me. I just conveyed their thoughts. His Highness's praise really made me think of it." I'm sorry."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes lit up.
"What do the lieutenants around you mean?"
Zhao Hongyu certainly knows who the lieutenants around Chelsea are.
Those are all imperial citizens of Chinese origin.
Don¡¯t look at it, Chelsea is now the commander of the Caribbean Fleet. But the political power here in the Caribbean is not in his hands.
At the same time, in order to prevent some things, Chelsea¡¯s adjutants and some middle and lower-level fleet sergeants are all genetic people of Chinese descent.
This also prevents Chelsea from rebelling for their own personal interests.
¡°What Zhao Hongyu is worried about regarding Chelsea¡¯s approach is the views of Chinese citizens.
¡°After all, if this matter is left to future generations, it would be absolutely anti-human.
The indigenous people are also human beings.
If we adopt the method of the Dutch and Spanish, massacre will be inevitable, right?
But Chelsea said that the adjutants, that is, the adjutants of Chinese origin, came up with this method.
Doesn¡¯t that mean? Those lieutenants of Chinese descent actually have no objection to killing.
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu changed the topic. After all, Cayenne is not just a problem for the indigenous people.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu interrogate him, of course Chelsea told Zhao Hongyu everything she knew and didn't hide anything.
"Your Highness, the climate here is good. When the Dutch originally ruled here, they used it as a food base to operate it. So we also plan to inherit it and continue to grow food."
Although there is no shortage of food in the Song Empire, even if the food is not enough, it can still be purchased from the virtual world.
But Chelsea, as a European, especially a European who has suffered from hunger, has a strong obsession with food.
For this. It¡¯s understandable for Zhao Hongyu.
¡°Are the Dutch just growing food here?¡±
Zhao Hongyu recalled the history in his mind and said to Chelsea.
Chelsea shook her head and said: "Of course not. The Dutch also planted sugar cane here. It is used to make cane sugar. At the same time, there are also tobacco fields cultivated by the Dutch. Most of the tobacco and cane sugar in Europe are from the Caribbean. Produced here in the sea."
Zhao Hongyu heard this. He nodded secretly.
???????????? Well, historically Europeans did do this in the Caribbean.
?And the climate here in the Caribbean is indeed suitable for growing these things.
However, according to Chelsea, just planting these things is of little use to the empire.
How come sucrose is more valuable than refined sugar purchased from the virtual world?
Tobacco is good, but the problem is that there are far fewer smokers in Europe in this era than in later generations.
Therefore, the profits brought by tobacco are not necessarily that big.
"Your Highness, do you have any other ideas?"
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu fell silent, he looked thoughtful.
Chelsea asked quickly.
Yes, of course Zhao Hongyu has other ideas.
"How many acres of fertile land did the Dutch leave here, and how many tobacco fields were there?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
Chelsea replied: "There are 100,000 acres of grain-growing fields, 10,000 acres of tobacco fields, and some miscellaneous corn fields and cocoa forests."
Coco!
Zhao Hongyu raised his eyebrows.
Isn¡¯t this just coffee? It¡¯s a good thing.
The coffee here in the Caribbean is a good thing, and it can be sold at a high price in the future.
But it seems that from Chelsea¡¯s point of view, there doesn¡¯t seem to be a lot of coffee.
Therefore, I may not be able to count on myself right now.
There are too few fields for growing food and tobacco fields.
The Dutch are really weak. After ruling Cayenne for so many years, they have cultivated so little land.
¡°My land in the Americas exceeds tens of millions of acres.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu really wrongly blamed the Dutch. He did not take into account the population of Cayenne and the various situations faced by the Dutch.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Governor's Mansion."
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped.
A group of people have arrived at the Governor's Mansion. (To be continued)
