When it comes to negroes, it is believed that the first reaction of all people is either to be enslaved for twelve years, or to be miserable negroes in the triangular trade. These blacks were uprooted and forcibly taken from their homeland by the colonizers of various countries and taken to the colonies in various regions to work as coolies. According to statistics, it is said that nearly 100 million black people were taken away, the vast majority of whom died in the colonies.
But the black man we are talking about today, if we talk about life alone, is probably more wonderful than the vast majority of white people. Not only did he get the emperor's reuse, but he also married two noblewomen and won a brilliant and happy life for himself through his own efforts.
The young black man, Hannibal, came from a poor country in Africa. Like many of his own compatriots, Hannibal was taken away from his hometown. However, compared with his own compatriots, Hannibal was fortunate, because he directly became a close retinue of Emperor Peter the Great.
Everyone knows that the emperor's personal entourage is a dream position for many people. Judging from the experience of Chinese dynasties, although such a position sounds light and light, it belongs to the palace attendant. But for national events, it can often play an unexpected role.
But Hannibal did not think so, although as the emperor's attendant, he still strictly demanded himself. Soon Peter the Great found that the attendant beside him, far from the ignorance of the Africans, was quite clever and clever, able to give himself a lot of advice, and soon appreciated him.
Appreciated by the emperor, Hannibal was given the opportunity to receive an education. The emperor sent him abroad to receive relevant education. Through his studies, Hannibal soon became a knowledgeable intellectual, said to have excelled in weapons and architecture. After returning to China, Hannibal was highly valued by the emperor and entered his career.
Hannibal's career was not smooth sailing, and there was also persecution by political enemies in the middle. But Hannibal remained quite optimistic, maintaining a passion for his work even in the toughest of circumstances. And soon he was able to move from time to time and became a highly valued minister by the new emperor.
Not only that, he also became a Russian aristocrat, and life after this can be said to be smooth sailing. He had been married twice, both local noble ladies. The first wife was said to have been a debauched woman, and their marriage ended quickly. But his second marriage was relatively happy, leaving him with descendants.
Among his descendants, the most famous is his great-grandson, the Russian genius poet Pushkin. But in fact, although Pushkin has black blood, because the blood is very thin and does not have too much appearance, not many people know Pushkin black blood.
Although Hannibal was a black man, when he ascended to the russian land, he could be said to have no long belongings, and he was also enslaved and discriminated against by the locals, but through his own efforts, the so-called gold would always shine, and Hannibal worked hard to turn himself into that piece of gold, not only eliminating the discriminatory eyes of the locals, but also making himself a local nobleman. If Hannibal had been just a retinue of the emperor waiting to die, I am afraid that his life would have undergone a huge transformation.
Through these, we can see that your origin, your family lineage, is not the decisive factor in your life. The most important factor is actually your personal efforts.
