Chapter 302： Savage Horror Diary (Part 2)

Marin worked hard to describe the horrors of the Americas in the name of Columbus:

"So, I sum it up-if you want to colonize the West Indies, it's better to find a missionary who is clean and self-sufficient. Because they can endure the temptation of those indigenous women and not get syphilis."

"However, I am worried that the missionaries, who could not beat the Caribbean, were killed by the Caribbean and eaten as barbecue ..."

"And the mercenaries who can beat the Caribbean, everyone knows their virtue-robbery, strong X women, no evil. When they are sent to the wild continent, they will definitely be brought back with syphilis."

"Blessing of the Holy See, under the leadership of the Holy See, Europe implemented a long period of abstinence throughout Europe to eliminate syphilis. However, ordinary people are not devout priests and it is difficult to control their lower body. Therefore, as long as you Dare to send people over, there is a high probability of contracting syphilis and bringing it back to China. "

"My monarch Marin, his soldiers, discipline is very good. However, in Grenada, still infected with syphilis, leading to a large number of deaths. While other European troops, especially mercenaries, do not mention combat effectiveness, they Discipline must not be able to catch up with the East Frisian army. If you send mercenaries with poor discipline, they will inevitably bring syphilis back and infect Europe as a whole ... "

"So, colonizing a wild continent is a very dangerous thing. The safest way is to send a group of castrated mercenaries to pass, so that it is not easy to get syphilis. However, which mercenary is willing to be Castration? If the king wants to castrate his soldiers, the soldiers will angrily cut off the king's head ... "

"Let ’s talk about it again, my monarch made me a new place to explore-Panama ..."

"This place, syphilis is only one of the horrors. There are even more horrible. The mosquitoes here carry a disease. As long as they are bitten by mosquitoes, they are very likely to suffer from malaria and a kind of yellow fever. 'Mortal disease.'

"According to the description of the local people, this kind of sickness will be accompanied by high fever and chills, severe headache and body pain in the early stage. Then, the patient will be weak, lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc ..."

"Then, in the later period, there will be terrible situations such as visceral bleeding, bleeding from the nose and nose, and urinary bleeding. By then, it will be basically incurable, and you can only wait for death ..."

"Even among the Panamanian locals, yellow fever is a terrible disease with a high mortality rate. But strangely, the locals seem to have a high resistance rate to the disease. Like syphilis, it is only for Indians A troublesome disease, the Europeans will die if they get it. A sailor on my boat was bitten by a local mosquito. A few days later, he really got yellow fever and died. "

"I feel terrified, so in Panama, when I was sleeping at night, I was covered with canvas. That way, the mosquitoes couldn't bite me. But, it was really hot like that ... I swear, I will do it later Not going to Panama anymore ... "

...

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

"I'm curious and asked Governor Tara why he didn't develop on a wild continent. But Governor Tara told me-it's too dangerous on land ..."

"Yes, the land is very dangerous. How dangerous is it? The Indians on the land, men are good at hunting, they are good at archery, and they hunted animals in the dense jungle from an early age. So, adult Indian men, arrows The skill is not worse than that of the English Longbowmen. "

"It's just that because of the lack of civilization, their bows and arrows have a range that is far less than that of the English longbow. If they are on flat ground, the English longbowmen will be able to beat these Indian archers. But in the dense forest, this group of people God is out of the ghost. You ca n’t catch them, but they can strike you in the dark of the forest anytime, anywhere, with a cold arrow. "

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

"Not only that, they are also good at laying traps. For example, digging a pit, disguised on it, if someone falls, they are directly poked to death by a wooden picket at the bottom. Also, there are traps in the tree. If you accidentally touch Some 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 poison arrows and wooden spikes will be smeared with a powerful poison. As long as people are scratched their skin and exposed to the poison, it is easy to cause death ..." Malin put The characteristics of the "see blood to seal the throat" poison on Huaqiong Island were brought to this diary which is not like a novel ...

"Governor Tara is greedy for the vast continent and once led 500 soldiers to try to attack the land. As a result, before the Indians were encountered, more than 30 soldiers were trapped and 20 of them were poisoned and killed."

"After meeting the Indians, the Indians did not stun with Governor Tara ’s 500 army, but hid in the jungle and wrestled with Tara ’s army. From time to time, they came out and put a cold arrow with poison on the arrow ... … "

"In a few days, Tara's 500 army lost more than 150 people. As a result, even the shadow of an Indian was not seen. When I found the Indian village, I found that there was no one there ..."

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

"Fortunately, the East Frisian colony in the northern part of the barren continent is an island away from the mainland. Otherwise, the Indians rushed up early and killed all the Europeans in the colony."

"According to Governor Tara ’s report, the Indians are all good at archery. If you give them horses, it is estimated that all of them are strong Mongolian cavalry. Unfortunately, there are no horses in the wild continent, otherwise no European army can stop those Indians Iron ride. "

"It is said that in the inland area near the two island colony, there is an extremely powerful Indian alliance-the Iroquois tribal alliance. This insufficient alliance can dispatch tens of thousands of Indian warriors who are good at archery and use of spears. Want to defeat Such an alliance is not enough for tens of thousands of troops. Unless you can first cut down the trees in the forest on the barren continent. Otherwise, if you enter the forest, 100,000 troops are not enough for the tens of thousands of Iroquois warriors to kill. "

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

"Because it's too difficult to conquer the mainland ... Especially the Indians of the northern wilderness continent are good at guerrillas in the forest. If there are more people, there is no way to take them ..."

...

"In short, the Indians are a group of indigenous people with strong customs and strong fighting power. To conquer the wild continent, not only need to be prepared for a long war, but also need to be prepared to catch evil diseases. Of course, they must also be prepared by those Indians. Psychological preparation for killing and making barbecue ... "

...

Finally, after a few days of hard work, Marin finished writing this half-truth and some exaggerated "Wild Horror Diary". However, Columbus has not written yet. When Columbus's part was written, and the two became one, Marin planned to publish it immediately and sell it all over Europe ...

His purpose, of course, was to allow the Spaniards and Portuguese to see the terrible side of the wild continent before the start of the negotiations on the Treaty of Todes Silas. In this way, by then, neither country will be ready to take over the Americas.

As a matter of fact, not all of this "Divine Terror Diary" is a fake, but many are real. Historically, the reason why the Spaniards could conquer Mexico and Peru, but they did not touch North America for a long time, not because they did n’t pay attention The person has a headache.

Mexico and Peru, however, belong to the plateau area, with no forests, mostly empty plains, mostly cultivated land and grasslands. Such a landform is very conducive to the play of the Spanish army. After all, the Indians ’technological level was low, and they were naturally invincible in the face of the heavily armed Spanish army.

Therefore, the Spaniards in the Americas have long occupied only the highlands of the Andes and several islands such as Cuba. As for those tropical rainforests and North American forests, the Spaniards have no control. Moreover, they are not strong enough.

The English colony Jamestown, the first colony in North America, was once besieged by the Indians for a long time, because the food was cut off, and it became a cannibalism. However, they gradually advanced by building a fortress, and finally established a colony of thirteen states in North America.

However, the British are still not enough. Switching to Marin, he will never arbitrarily fight against all Indians, but will choose the "pull one faction, fight one faction" strategy, provoke the Indians to fight internally, and then take the opportunity to gain a foothold on the North American mainland. This method, but the late British proficient. By this means, Britain became a famous "crap stick" in Europe, which disturbed the European continent. Such a method is applied to the Indians, so there is nothing more to say ...

Of course, Marin compiled the "Wild Terror Diary" and published it in the name of Columbus, in order to frighten the Spaniards. Therefore, Marin cannot tell them that Mexico and Peru are not forests. He will only use the example of the group of powerful Indians in the North American jungle to scare the Spaniards. At the same time, the Spanish were also scared with syphilis, malaria and yellow fever in tropical regions. In the end, to help the Spaniards give up the Americas ...
