The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin, writing in a hurry, continues to describe the horrors of America in the name of Columbus, with both true and false:

"So, I conclude - if you want to colonize the West Indies, it's best to find missionaries who are pure and clean. Because they can withstand the temptation of those indigenous women and not get syphilis."

"However, I am worried that those missionaries, unable to beat those Caribs, will be killed by the Caribs and eaten as barbecued meat..."

"And those mercenaries who can beat the Caribs, everyone knows their virtues - robbery, rape women, all evil. Send them to the wild continent, and they will definitely be brought back with syphilis."

"Thanks to the Holy See, under the leadership of the Holy See, Europe implemented long-term abstinence throughout Europe before syphilis was eliminated. However, ordinary people are not pious priests, and it is difficult to control their lower body. Therefore, as long as you If you dare to send someone over there, there is a high chance of contracting syphilis and bringing it back to China."

"My monarch Marin, and his soldiers, had good discipline. However, in Grenada, syphilis was still contracted, causing mass deaths. While other armies in Europe, especially mercenaries, did not mention combat effectiveness, they The discipline of the East Frisian army is definitely not as good as that of the East Frisian army. If those mercenaries with poor discipline are sent there, they will definitely bring syphilis back and infect the whole of Europe..."

"So, colonizing the wild continent is a very dangerous thing. The safest way is to send a group of castrated mercenaries there, so that it is not easy to contract syphilis. However, which mercenaries are willing to be killed by syphilis? Castration? If the king tried to castrate his soldiers, the soldiers would be indignant to cut off the king's head..."

"Let's talk about it again, the new place my monarch let me explore - Panama..."

"Syphilis is only one of the horrors in this place. There are other horrors. The mosquitoes here carry a vicious disease. As long as you are bitten by mosquitoes, you are likely to suffer from malaria and a disease called 'yellow fever' ' of mortal disease."

"According to the description of the locals, this kind of vicious disease, in the early stage, will have high fever accompanied by chills, severe headache and body pain, and then the patient will be exhausted, lose appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc..."

"Then, in the later stage, there will be terrifying situations such as visceral bleeding, nose and nose bleeding, and urine bleeding. By then, it is basically dead, and you can only wait for death..."

"Yellow fever is a terrible disease, even among the natives of Panama, with a high mortality rate. But strangely, the natives seem to have a high rate of resistance to the disease. Like syphilis, for the Indians it was just a A troublesome disease that Europeans get and die from. A sailor on my ship got bitten by a local mosquito, and a few days later really got yellow fever and died.”

"I was terrified, so, in Panama, I slept in canvas at night. That way the mosquitoes wouldn't bite me. But it was so hot... I swear, I'll never do it again. Not going to Panama anymore..."

...

"Later, I went to the two East Frisian colonies in the northern part of the wild continent - Twin Island and Cape Breton Island. The climate on these two islands is very good. However, the land area is too small. Especially Twin Island, which is bigger than Bitsel Island."

"I was curious and asked Governor Tara why he didn't develop on the wild continent. However, Governor Tara told me - the land is too dangerous..."

"Yes, it is very dangerous on land. To what extent is it dangerous? Indians on land, men are good at hunting, they are all good at archery, and they go hunting animals in the dense jungle since childhood. So, adult Indian men, arrows No worse than the English longbowmen."

"It's just that, because of their lack of civilization, their bows and arrows are not as far as the English longbow. If they were on flat ground, the English longbowmen would definitely be able to beat these Indian archers. However, in the dense forest, these people Ghosts and ghosts. You can't catch them, but they can be in the dark in the forest anytime, anywhere,

A sudden cold arrow attacked you. "

"Moreover, they are also good at making plant poisons. Put poison on the arrows, and as long as people are shot, they will die soon..."

"Not only that, but they are also good at setting traps. For example, dig a hole and make a camouflage on it. If a person falls, he will be stabbed to death by the wooden picket at the bottom. Also, there are traps on the trees. If you accidentally touch it. Some and rattan, maybe a big rock will fall from the tree and kill you..."

"The most terrifying thing is that they have a high level of poison. Those poisonous arrows and wooden pickets will be smeared with a powerful poison. As long as people are scratched on their skin and come into contact with the poison, it is easy to cause death..." Marin said The characteristics of the poison that "sees the blood and seals the throat" on Huaxia Qiongdao have been moved into this diary that is not like a novel...

"Governor Tara was greedy for the vast continent. He once led 500 troops to try to attack the land. As a result, before encountering the Indians, more than 30 soldiers were trapped, and 20 of them died of poisoning."

"After encountering the Indians, the Indians did not fight against Governor Tara's army of 500, but hid in the jungle, fought with Tara's army, and from time to time came out to shoot a cold arrow with poison smeared on the arrow... …”

"In a few days, Tara's 500 troops lost more than 150 people. As a result, they didn't even see the shadow of an Indian. I found the Indian village, but found that there was no one there..."

"In desperation, Governor Tara had to give up his plan to attack the mainland. You must know that the village they attacked was only a small village of 500 people. As a result, they suffered such huge losses. Big tribe, it is estimated that all 500 people will die in battle..."

"Fortunately, the East Frisian colony in the northern part of the wild continent is an island far away from the mainland. Otherwise, the Indians would have rushed forward and killed all the Europeans in the colony."

"According to Governor Tara's report, those Indians are all good at archery. If you give them war horses, it is estimated that all of them are powerful Mongolian cavalry. Unfortunately, there are no horses in the wild continent, otherwise any European army will not be able to stop those Indians. the cavalry."

"It is said that in the inland area near the Twin Island Colony, there is an incomparably powerful alliance of Indians - the Iroquois Tribal Alliance. This insufficient alliance can dispatch tens of thousands of Indian warriors who are good at archery and spears. If you want to defeat Such an alliance, tens of thousands of troops are not enough. Unless you can cut down the trees in the forest on the wild continent first. Otherwise, entering the forest, 100,000 troops are not enough for the tens of thousands of Iroquois warriors to kill. "

"Therefore, the East Frisian colonies on the wild continent are all islands - Grenada, Twin Islands, Cape Breton, Cuba, Panama..."

"Because it's really hard to conquer the mainland...especially the Indians in the northern wild continent, who are good at fighting guerrillas in the forest. No matter how many people there are, they can't do anything about them..."

...

"In short, the Indians are a group of natives with fierce folk customs and strong fighting ability. If you want to conquer the wild continent, you not only need to be prepared for a long-term war, but also need to be prepared to contract evil diseases. Mental preparation to kill and make a barbecue..."

...

Finally, after a few days of hard work, Marin finished writing this half-truth and somewhat exaggerated Diary of Wild Horror. However, Columbus has not written yet. As soon as the Columbus part is written, and the two become one, Marin intends to publish it immediately and sell it all over Europe. . . .

His purpose, of course, was to let the Spaniards and Portuguese see the terrible side of the wild continent before the negotiations on the Treaty of Tordesillas began. In this way, when the time comes, neither country will be ready to take over the Americas.

In fact, not all in this "Wild Horror Diary" are fabricated, but many are real. Historically, the reason why the Spaniards were able to conquer Mexico and Peru, but did not set foot in North America for a long time, was not because they did not pay attention to it, but because the Indians in the North American jungle were indeed too fierce and good at sneak attacks, which caused the Spanish colonists a headache.

Mexico and Peru, on the other hand, belong to the plateau areas, with no forests, but mostly open plains, mostly cultivated land and grasslands. This kind of landform is very beneficial to the Spanish army. After all, the technological level of the Indians was low, and they were naturally defeated in the face of the heavily armed Spanish army.

Therefore, in the Americas, the Spaniards could only occupy the highlands of the Andes and Cuba and other islands for a long time. As for those tropical rain forests and North American forests, the Spaniards did not control them. Also, they are not strong enough.

The first colony of the British in North America, Jamestown, was besieged by the Indians for a long time, because the food was cut off, and the trouble reached the point of cannibalism. However, they gradually advanced by building a fort, and finally established a colony of thirteen states in North America.

However, the British means were not enough. When replaced by Marin, he would never oppose all the Indians outright, but would choose the strategy of "pulling one faction, fighting one faction", provoking infighting among the Indians, and then taking the opportunity to gain a foothold on the North American continent. This method, but the late British forte. Relying on this method, the United Kingdom has become a well-known "dung stick" in Europe, and the European continent has also been disturbed. If such a method is used on the Indians, there is no need to say...

Of course, Marin compiled the Diary of the Wild Horror and published it under Columbus's name to scare the Spaniards. So Marin couldn't have told them that places like Mexico and Peru were not forests. He will only use the example of the powerful Indians in the North American jungle to scare the Spaniards. At the same time, it also used syphilis, malaria and yellow fever in the tropics to scare the Spaniards. In the end, to fuel the flames for the Spaniards to abandon the Americas...
