Chapter 1371 Internal Diseases and External Treatment ([-])

At this time, Dashun was on the side of the Acadians, so he still had a lot of face.

After all, guns and food were all sponsored by Dashun.

Another one, Dashun also contacted the slave owners in the southern state, and the slave owners in the southern state were very happy.

Because the price of slaves is quite expensive now.

At first, everyone thought that the slave trade would be affected after the war, and that the slave suppliers in Africa would be so overwhelmed that they could not sell their goods, they would definitely have to lower their prices.

This is a basic economic principle.

Who would have thought that instead of lowering prices, the slave traders in West Africa organized a "slave sale price alliance", and the major slave suppliers reached an agreement with each other to strictly control the shipment of slaves.

In addition, food in North America is very cheap now, and it is not very expensive to raise slaves.The slave sale price alliance quickly reduced the supply of slaves, and the price soared upwards.

Once the price went up, it would be uneconomical to use slaves for many jobs on the plantation, especially the very dangerous jobs.

Now the price of a landed slave is more than six or seven horses.

Do some work, if you lose six or seven horses at once, what a big family business, can you not feel distressed?
Therefore, the plantation owners in the southern state and Dashun expressed that they are willing to accept these northern New Englanders who immigrated after the expulsion of the Acadians.

Because of some dangerous work, these poor British people can be used.

Since they are Christians, they can be debt slaves, but not animal slaves.

And animal slaves, from generation to generation, are always family property.

It is similar to land deeds, houses, and property.

The poor British people are not family property, and some dangerous jobs can be done by these people.

You can save a lot of money.

For example, it is more dangerous to clean the kiln for flue-cured tobacco. If a slave dies here, it is equivalent to losing more than 100 pounds in cash.This thing can really be cashed out at any time, directly pull it to the market, go there in the morning, and you can get 100 pounds in cash at noon, and it's not banknotes.

So if you die, you will be very distressed, which is equivalent to losing 300 taels of silver.

It is very different to find a poor Englishman to do it.

non-property.

If you die, you will pay up to £3.

Can this be the same.

Another one, there is also a religious factor in it.

In northern states, such as Massachusetts, the Congregationalists dominate, and they have engaged in the integration of church and state, so the rest of the denominations are working hard to oppose the Congregationalists.

As for the southern states, because they have a closer relationship with the UK, and have greater market demand and economic ties, there are more people in the Anglican Church.Southern states need more Congregationalists to come to the South to dilute the power of the Episcopal Church.

Most of these northern immigrants belonged to the Congregational Church.

Moreover, because of some historical factors, they are quite disgusted with the Anglican Church.

In this way, these people were both poor and Congregational, so the planters in the southern states were very fond of them.

I talked to the people in Dashun, and said to send it over, and we will pay for the shipping fee after it is finished.The shipping fee just happens to be a debt, and it happens to be a debt slave.

The people from the plantation in the southern state even complained to Dashun.

It is said that the Acadians were expelled before, and a group of plantations in the southern states were also sent.This group of people is not easy to control, and because of religious issues, language issues, etc., it is easy to form a small circle.

Then there was a wave of uprisings, and a few brave Acadians started an uprising on the plantation and fled the plantation.

At first, planters in the southern states, especially Georgia and South Carolina, were happy.

On the one hand, these people are cheap and cost almost no money.

On the other hand, although these people are Christians, there are already great commentators who have specially published "commentaries". They think that the Acadians cannot be regarded as true Christians, because they initially believed in the existence of all things. Spirit, so the things produced by the fusion of their traditions and Christian thoughts cannot be regarded as Christianity, so they cannot be regarded as Christians, and can be regarded as slaves of property.

The reason is that because the productivity of the Indians was backward at the beginning, just like the so-called rich merchants died of alcoholism, people with low productivity levels really have no resistance after exposure to alcohol.

Some awakened Indians began to blend the scriptures, and with the help of the "Bible", they came up with something that was easy to spread among the tribes, mainly to make Indians quit drinking.

It can be understood as the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" kind of Christianity, which has a strong local flavor, so some traditional ideas must have been added.

To put it simply, Protestants expelled these people through scripture commentary, bypassing the restriction that "Christians should not be slaves for generations".

But the planters in Georgia and South Carolina hadn't been happy for two days before they found out that this group was rebellious.

Not to mention love to resist, there is still a bit of ruthlessness.

Alexander Broussard, the younger brother of the famous resistance hero Joseph Broussard in history, took 30 people from the plantation in South Carolina to revolt home. The 30 people walked 6800 kilometers, and finally twelve people returned to their hometown alive.

Their resistance led to the resistance of the rest of the slaves.

So at first I thought it was a big profit, but in the end it turned out to be a minefield.

The plantation owners in the southern state also complained to the people in Dashun that it would be better to learn from Massachusetts and lock them up on the ship without allowing them to disembark, and all of them would freeze to death; or learn from Virginia and directly lock them into concentration camps.

I thought I had picked up a big deal, but ended up losing a lot.

So, the plantation owners in the southern states and the members of the state assembly made a deal with Dashun.

Speaking of Georgia and the North and South Carolinas, there are still 1400 Acadians in total.

It was only after something happened that I found out that the Yankees who contracted the migration, Thomas Hancock and Charles Apshorpe, were too sloppy. The more than 1400 people were all "the most dishonest, The most rebellious" were all sent to the south.

The plantation owners in Georgia and North and South Carolina said that they would send the more than 1400 Acadians out of the country and pool money to send them back.

After that, as a filler, one by one, let them pull some New England immigrants from here to the south, as indentured slaves and debt slaves.

On the one hand, everyone speaks English, and they are all British, so it is easy to manage.

Secondly, this group of people believed in the sanctity of private property and would not rebel against plantations.

Dashun naturally readily agreed.

But the Annapolis Valley was not alone in New England's colonization of magpies' nests.Therefore, kill to kill, slaughter to slaughter, and the rest is enough for exchange.

And those in the Annapolis Valley who have witnessed the wrath of revenge can send a batch to the southern plantations, but not all of them, and send a batch to Pennsylvania, Virginia and other places.

Sent to Pennsylvania to spread fear.Because Pennsylvania as a whole tends to be peaceful and opposes border wars, there are both religious factors and interest factors caused by peaceful borders.

Sending Virginia was also to spread fear.In the Williamsburg concentration camp in Virginia, more than 800 people were locked up. Not to mention the exchange, it can be regarded as inciting Virginia to become a target of public criticism.

Because those tobacco growers in Virginia, they have to get new land, and tobacco is too labor-intensive.Including Washington and others, their land speculation is mainly aimed at tobacco plantations in Virginia.

Simply put, Pennsylvania's ability to pull and scare with fear makes them prone to peace.

Massachusetts is more capable. Although they are bewildered, the real influential people are smugglers, who are afraid that the war will affect their business.

Needless to say, the southern states, they don't care about the border war in the Northwest whether they pull it or not. If something happens to the northern states, can those French and Indians kill all the way to Georgia?

Virginia is the only one that can't be pulled. The economic structure is here, and new land is urgently needed to grow tobacco. There is no chemical fertilizer these days, and the land that has grown tobacco cannot grow tobacco again within 15 years.

Therefore, you must be beaten for pulling, you must be beaten for not pulling, you must be beaten for smiling faces, and you must be beaten for black faces.

Then it is better to send these people who have experienced the massacre in the Annapolis Valley.

Can be exchanged, the best.

If the group of people in Virginia directly massacred more than 800 people in the Williamsburg concentration camp, there is no way.

Anyway, Virginia massacred the concentration camps, so this side will retaliate against states such as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, and engage in reciprocal retaliation for plantations in the south.

Force the states to unite and slaughter Virginia's land speculator interest groups first.

In this way, it was not Song Xianggong's benevolence for Dashun to let these trembling people survive.

Sometimes the living are more useful than the dead, and the dead can't speak, so how can they spread fear.

So with the excuse of "let these people live and exchange more tribesmen", Dashun finally persuaded these Acadians who were red-eyed and completely dazzled by hatred.

After all, many Acadians here know that some of their loved ones are not dead, but shipped off as slaves.

After waiting for Dashun to calm them down, they let go of the urge to kill all the New Englanders here for revenge.

It seemed that Dashun had done a good job this time and saved so many people.

These people don't have to die, they should have a sense of happiness of escaping death.

It's just that...the people in Dashun are a group of "superstitious atheists". It is impossible to understand Christians, and it is impossible to understand that religious believers have other spiritual fears besides the fear of death.

In fact, most of the living people huddled in the town at this time have all collapsed.

Not just the fear of having witnessed death before.

It is because they belong to the Axiom Society, and when the Axiom Society burned the Quaker Society before, the group of Quakers made a terrible prophecy: As far as your Axiom Society is playing like this, the doomsday judgment is coming!

The last time, that is, the first Anglo-French Indian war, that is, [King Philip's War], the Quaker's prophecy of "the doomsday judgment is coming" has scared many people crazy.

Because that was the first time that the group of Colonial Congregationalists came into contact with the cruelty of "war".

The two sides killed and burned each other, the village was destroyed, and the town was destroyed. These second and third generations of immigrants are far away from Europe, which is fighting all day long. I really think this is a city on the top of a hill. How have I seen such a posture?

The Indians decided to take revenge and really broke into the inner city of the colonists. Many people looked at this scorched earth and the scene of war-although this war scene is far worse than the 30 years when two-thirds of the population of Germany was wiped out. War is really not on the table, but their little life is so good that they are frightened crazy when they see this scene for the first time-many people really believe, it's over, what the Quaker group said That's right, the Last Judgment is coming.

Nearly a hundred years later, this group of Congregationalists once again witnessed the cruelty of war and the horrors of revenge in the Annapolis Valley. Naturally, they thought of the Quaker prophecy again—the Doomsday Judgment is coming.

Dashun, a group of superstitious atheists, felt that if they were saved, they would at least have a sense of happiness in escaping death.

I never thought that for this group of Congregationalists, there is another great fear that is no less than death, the last judgment.

Of course, the Doomsday Judgment itself is not terrible.

The problem is, if it is agreed, everyone else is dead, and I am the only one who lives. Am I the chosen one of God?

The fuck is it that the people on my side are dead and the others are alive. I'm afraid I'm not the one who deserves to die in the doomsday judgment?
