Chapter 884： Then send the boat to India

After entering November, the autumn harvest in Europe is almost over, and all countries have entered the winter break. In winter, everybody has a good rest. And with the food, the purses of the nobles swelled up, and then they held various banquets and squandered the fruits of the autumn harvest. Then, everyone found out-the spice is not enough to splurge ...

The kings of Spain Ferdinand II and Juan, seeing such business opportunities, decided to send another fleet to purchase spices in India. Prince Juan and Marin had a good relationship, and specially sent someone to inform Marin to let his ship follow the Spanish fleet in the spring.

It just happened that Marin also needed to go to India to purchase some cattle and horses adapted to the tropical climate, as well as untouchable slaves, so he promised to send several ships to India.

Purchasing Indian cattle was thought well before Marin. After all, the climate in the tropical region is too hot, and cattle from temperate zones are not suitable. The Indian region itself is mostly located in the tropics, and naturally there are cattle that adapt to the tropics. It is reasonable to go shopping.

As for horses, Indian horses must also adapt to the tropics. Then go to India to buy some horses, no problem. After all, transportation now mainly depends on carriages. Despite the great strength of the cow, at that speed, the individual rushed to death. Therefore, the cart must still rely on horses.

Moreover, Marin remembers that many of the ruling dynasties in India came from invading aliens in Central Asia. Central Asia and the Arab region have close contacts, and the horses they bring naturally contain the excellent bloodlines of the Arabian horses. Therefore, the Indian horse is actually good. Marin seems to remember that a Mawarima produced in western India is an excellent war horse neglected. It is mainly because the Indian army's record is so bad that it has buried its reputation as a good horse. It is said that Indian horses not only adapt to the hot climate, but also fear the cold.

Marin will conquer many tropical regions in the future, and naturally needs a good horse that is very adaptable in tropical regions. Otherwise, military soldiers cannot be allowed to engage with the natives in the tropical rainforest.

European horses may not adapt to tropical climates. Even if you can adapt, you do n’t know how many years it takes. You know, the reason why the Mongolian Tieqi that swept the world failed to conquer India is because Mongolian horses are not adapted to India's hot climate, which makes it impossible to occupy India.

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry swept the world, but after arriving in Dali, they could no longer go south. Because Mongolian horses that adapt to the cold climate really don't adapt to the tropical climate, mainly because they don't adapt to the humid and hot tropical climate. Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty passed Southeast Asia and India. It ’s not that I do n’t want to fight, but that the horse is afraid of the heat ...

When the founding monarch of the Mughal empire of Mongolia, Babur, occupied Central Asia and acquired a Central Asian horse suitable for the tropical climate, Tieqi went south and finally conquered India and established the Mughal Empire.

Therefore, sometimes during the war, the horses that adapt to the climate are also very important factors. Like the historical Spanish colonial empire, why are they mainly active in Mexico and Peru? Because the high plateau of Mexico and the Andean highlands of Peru, although also tropical, but the temperature is not high, the Spanish Andalusian horse can adapt well. As for the tropical islands in the Caribbean, the Spaniards focused on a few islands such as Cuba. Then, Barbados and other places were divided up by Britain and other countries. Mainly, the Spaniards really can't control it. Moreover, there is also a lack of mobile troops adapted to the local climate.

The difference between a horse and a horse is very big. Without a war horse adapted to the local climate, the colonial army can only shrink in the coastal area like the Portuguese. If there are war horses adapted to the local climate, and the soldiers have adapted to the local climate, they can go deep inland.

Therefore, Marin attaches great importance to the introduction of Indian warhorse in order to strengthen his own control of tropical America in the future.

What's more, after the Panama cement road is repaired, it is natural to have a horse-drawn carriage. While European horses may not be adapted to the tropical rainforest climate of Panama, Indian horses are obviously okay. Therefore, Marin sent his fleet to India this time, not only to buy war horses that should be used in the tropical climate, but also to buy some horses that adapt to the tropical climate for pulling carts and walking on the Panama cement road ...

...

In addition, Marin is also very interested in buying slaves from Indian pariahs. This is because these Indian pariahs are not only obedient, but also have good rice cultivation techniques. Unlike those black people, there is brute force in the air, and they do not understand agricultural technology. The Indian pariahs looked dark, but they were not the same family as the African black. Their character is rebellious and their agricultural technology is very good. The rice on the islands of Grenada and Cuba is basically cultivated by a group of Indian democrats brought back before.

Marin likes to eat rice, and tropical areas (especially hot and humid areas) are more suitable for rice cultivation. Therefore, the introduction of more Indian rural pariahs (urban pariahs do not necessarily know how to grow land) will help rice cultivation.

In the case where Marin did not like the use of black slaves, it was the best choice to introduce rural Indians with agricultural technology.

It's funny to say that those Indian pariahs are probably abused by Hinduism, even though they also think they are humble and untouchable. The colonists of Grenada and Cuba treated them better, but they were very grateful and they worked harder ...

Therefore, Marin likes Indian pariahs. Moreover, they also respect their religious beliefs (nonsense, Marin hasn't met people who think they are humble, and they are obedient, why interfere with their beliefs?).

These untouchables had a very miserable life in India. In front of the higher castes, they did not even have the qualifications to sit down, let alone touch the people of the higher castes. Otherwise, it is possible to be killed. Moreover, after the caste people let them help them, they would not be willing to pay when they met rogues, and the pariahs did not dare to ask for it, but could only bear it in silence. Even if there is a conscience, the revenge is very low, often a handful of rice. Whatever, it ’s just a female ticket, and the untouchables can only endure ...

These untouchables are bullied in India, resulting in a very lowly and cowardly character. Moreover, they are often not full. Therefore, all of them are yellow-skinned, very similar to Gandhi in later generations.

In Grenada and Cuba, although the North Sea colonists also drove these Indian pariahs to work, they would provide them with enough food and allow them to sit down and eat with the colonists. Even, after sugar cane is harvested, it is divided into a bit for the untouchables ... This is incredible in India ...

Therefore, the Indian pariahs who came to Grenada and Cuba worked hard and were grateful to Dade, who was very easy to manage. Unlike those black slaves, they need to be shackled and locked up.

George, the governor of Grenada, even joked that if he had enough Indian pariahs, those European colonists would be able to sit comfortably at home as masters. Because all the work is done for Indian pariahs ...

Therefore, after the invitation of Juan, the Spanish king, Marin immediately agreed to send a fleet to accompany him to go to India to buy cattle and horses adapted to the tropical climate, as well as obedient Indian untouchables ...
