Taking over the Qing court's mess with nothing, and now Emperor Hua wants to divert a lot of military spending from China, which is in the stage of recuperation, is tantamount to killing a chicken to get eggs.

Western European countries are now fat and strong, especially those who are rising stars, such as the Kingdom of Italy, who are sharpening their knives and working hard to govern the colonies in order to compete with old-fashioned powers.

The "Black Triangle Trade" began in the 16th century, namely the slave trade. European slave traders set off from their own country to load salt, cloth, rum, etc., and replaced them with slaves in Africa along the so-called central route through the Atlantic Ocean, and in the Americas, they replaced them with gold, silver and other gold, silver and industrial raw materials such as sugar, tobacco and rice.

In western Europe, near the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, and between the West Indies in the Americas, the routes roughly form a triangle. Since the black race is trafficked, it is also called "Black Triangle Trade".

It took 300 years.

In the 17th and 19th centuries (after the opening of the new route), European and American merchants transported cheap industrial products (guns, etc.) to Africa for slaves, transported black slaves to America and sold them, bought back the raw materials (gold and silver, industrial raw materials) from America, made goods and then transported them to Africa for the circular trade activities of slaves.

Because its trade involves Europe, the United States and not the three continents, it is called.

In the past, Europe and the Americas and Asia carried out large-scale triangular trade; Atlantic triangular trade refers to trade between Europe, West Africa and the Americas.

Trade in which trade balance between the three countries (regions) is maintained.

The first countries to start trading in triangular trade were Portugal and Spain, followed by Britain and France.

The American colonists implemented a species-extinction policy on the Indians, resulting in a large lack of American labor.

At the end of the 15th century, with Columbus discovering the new continent in the Americas, new routes were opened between Europe and America.

At that time, commerce was developing and trade was expanding. From a global perspective, Europe and Asia were well developed. For Western and Northern European countries, Asia was undoubtedly a thousand miles away, while America and Africa were much closer, which provided favorable factors for the "Black Triangle Trade".

So, Portugal, Spain, Britain, France and others began to colonize and expand.

They created plantations in the Americas and developed gold and silver mines. Because they needed a large amount of cheap labor, driven by profits, the colonists turned their greedy eyes to the undeveloped African continent and began the sinful slave trade.

In 1562, Sir John Hawkins of England shipped slaves from Sierra Leone, exchanged them for skins and sugar in Haiti, and became the richest man in Portsmouth after returning.

Due to the amazingly high profits, Queen Elizabeth and Privy Council officials also invested in his second voyage. He followed the previous steps and returned with a ship of silver, becoming the richest man in Britain.

It was precisely because of the government's tacit approval of the slave trade that the slave trade became increasingly rampant. All European colonial countries participated. Some Europeans saw that it was profitable and joined the ranks. Therefore, the triangular trade began.

At that time, capitalism in European colonial countries developed rapidly, and a large number of products determined that they could exchange black people. The slave ships arrived in Africa along the ocean current. One was the Canary cold current, which was located on the northwest shore of Africa, which was a compensation current; the other was the Guinea warm current, which flowed along the Guinea Gulf of Guinea, which was also a compensation current.

After the slave traders arrived in Africa, they exchanged young and strong black men with low-value goods with chiefs of the black tribe.

The black tribe and its tribe leaders, who were still in a barbaric and ignorant state, were sowed and tempted by slave traders, and were bought by slave traders like commodities.

These powerful countries set off from Europe, took a boat to Africa, carrying guns, debris, etc. to buy black slaves.

Then, the slave ship full of black men crossed the Atlantic Ocean along the Central Route and arrived in America, which is called "middle range".

Ships carrying African blacks to America are often overloaded exponentially, and ships with four or five hundred people are required to be stuffed with nearly a thousand people.

When a black man got on the boat and entered the warehouse, he was equivalent to entering a living coffin.

The air in the cabin is dirty and the food supplied is extremely bad, so it is easy to cause people to be infected with various diseases. Black people who die from illness or suffer from epidemics are thrown into the sea and suffer quite miserable.

After arriving at the destination, the black man was sold and sent to a mine or plantation to be a slave.

Just like the journey, the slave ships travel along the ocean current, which is the North Equator current, belonging to the wind current, which spans the Atlantic Ocean and reaches the West Indies.

Southeastern North America has a typical subtropical monsoon and monsoon humid climate. In winter, it is affected by cold and dry airflow from the mainland and does not have much precipitation; in summer, it is affected by warm and humid airflow from the ocean, and it is more precipitated, which is suitable for the cultivation of rice and tea.

Central America and West Indies have a tropical rainforest climate, high temperatures and raininess all year round, which is suitable for the growth of sugarcane.

It is precisely because of the suitable climate and the black slaves worked hard under the oppression of the colonists that the plantation developed rapidly, and the plantation owners obtained a large amount of sugar, tobacco, tea and other raw materials, making huge wealth.

While developing plantations, the colonists also plundered precious metals such as gold and silver in the Americas. Latin America produced gold, silver and gems. In addition to plundering unique tropical agricultural products from there, the colonists plundered more precious metal mineral products.

The Mexican Plateau and the Andes are rich in precious metal minerals.

Around 1550, Mexico provided one-third of the world's total silver production, and Peru's silver production accounted for one-half of the world's silver production.

This has become one of the important sources of the original accumulation of bourgeois capital.

Finally, the ships loaded with gold, silver and raw materials returned to Europe, which is called the "return journey".

When returning home, the ships still sailed along the current, and the ocean current was the Mexican warm current and the North Atlantic warm current. The Mexican warm current belongs to the compensating current, which compensates from south to north along the Florida Peninsula from south to north. The sea water in the sea area caused by the North Atlantic warm current is formed under the westerly wind. The gold, silver and raw materials transported back played a great role in promoting the development of capitalism, which is also an important reason why the slave trade was successfully carried out.

The European land set sail to Africa (snatch black slaves), then to America (selling black slaves, making huge profits, thus obtaining: silver, tobacco and other cash crops), and then return to the European land (developing capitalism).

Although the methods are very bad, they easily accumulate good family background from this route.

Black trade promoted the development of British capitalism, brought huge wealth to Britain, promoted the development of British industry and commerce, and fully developed European capitalism, which was an important step in the original accumulation of capital.

At the same time, the slave trade provided a large number of cheap labor for the development of American colonies, and promoted the formation of modern American capitalist culture.

However, the destruction of Africans by the slave trade and the destruction of African socio-economics is immeasurable, causing Africa to lose nearly 100 million of its strong labor force.

To fully develop European capitalism, economically, is the original accumulation of capital.

The development of capitalism and the government's apology, the crazy pursuit of profits by European colonists, and the ignorance caused by the African people due to the primitive social structure, are the main historical reasons for the smooth progress of the "Black Triangle Trade".

The triangular circulation composed of the Canary cold current, Guinea warm current, the North equator warm current, the Mexican warm current and the North Atlantic warm current provides extremely favorable shipping conditions for the "Black Triangle Trade", allowing slave traders to smooth sailing smoothly during their journey, mid-range and return journey, and thus accelerate the speed of slave trade.

Therefore, under the historical trend of capitalist development and under favorable geographical conditions, the "Black Triangle Trade" has been going smoothly for hundreds of years with huge profits as the driving force.

Emperor Hua still remembers the later generations he was reborn. Many people who didn’t know the truth were closed and said that the Qing court was actually innumerable. The GDP was the best in the world. Emperor Hua still doesn’t understand where these data came from.

The China Bureau of Statistics evaluates that China's current national strength can enter the top ten in the world. The Emperor of China feels that it is very difficult. Not to mention the strong Western European countries, even in the Balkans, China may not have much advantage. Besides, in addition to Europe, there is also the United States, which has been making a fortune in silence.

Hua Huang and Jie Ge were joking softly, and suddenly a young and beautiful foreign woman came into the sight of the two.
