Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner

"Mr. Tangning!" Tangning had just come out of Danina's residence that day, and before she could board the carriage, she heard someone calling him from behind.

Tangning turned around and saw that it was Sheffield, a slave trader whom he had never expected, so she asked in surprise, "Mr. Sheffield, why are you here?"

"Because I'm a Londoner!" Sheffield replied with a smile.

The two went to a nearby cafe, Sheffield said to Downing, "To be honest, when I learned that New Orleans had fallen, I was very worried about you, Mr. Downing. I didn't expect to see you in London!"

"I'm lucky too. I happened to be visiting London during the war in New Orleans, so I didn't go back!" Tangning said perfunctorily, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Mr. Sheffield, how's business going?"

"What do you think, when there is a war between the south and the north, where will people come to buy black slaves! Hey, I don't know when this battle will be over. Fortunately, I still have some savings before, otherwise I might not even be able to eat now. Get up!" Sheffield sighed.

"You can transport black slaves to Brazil. I just came back from Brazil, and there are quite a few plantations there!" Tangning suggested.

Unexpectedly, Sheffield glared at him and replied angrily: "There are a lot of plantations in Brazil, but how can they compare with New Orleans, and Sao Paulo already has a big slave trader, Mrs. Murphy!"

At this time, Tangning already understood that Sheffield knew that this matter was related to her, so she was very embarrassed. She didn't know how to explain it. Fortunately, Sheffield took the initiative to change the subject and asked him, "Mr. Tangning, do you know? , In fact, there are people who are more angry than you and me for the "Declaration of the Emancipation of Black Slaves issued by the North!"

"I'm even more angry than you and me? How could there be such a person? Are you kidding me?" Tangning asked in confusion.

"Of course it's not a joke. In fact, the African chiefs who sold black slaves to us, especially the king of the Bonny Kingdom, were so angry when they learned of this, it was said that they wanted to bring troops to help you fight the north!" At the end, Sheffield couldn't help laughing.

Although this may sound like a joke, when she thought about it carefully, Tangning understood the reasoning, because for African countries like Bonny Kingdom and now Nigeria, black slaves are their only profitable export commodities. , and even some countries such as Dahomey and Mali gradually developed and prospered with the slave trade.

Originally, after the British stopped the black slave trade, these African chiefs and kings were very dissatisfied, and now their biggest customer, the Americans, will be "liberated black slaves" again. Have a life? The so-called "cutting people's fortunes is like killing one's parents." In addition, they had never seen the strength of the Northern Army, so it was not surprising for Tangning to say such words. After all, it was not that he had never heard of the more outrageous words before crossing the road. For example, the power of the universe, the Gambia...

So Tangning just chuckled and said, "That's normal. After all, they don't know how powerful those old Yang Ji are!"

"By the way, there are still a group of people who almost committed suicide because of the war between you two!" Sheffield said again.
