After arriving on the Philippine Islands, the essence of Magellan's so-called dream was fully revealed. Do we still remember the topic we talked about before, which is what is the essence of human nature in Western countries? Haha, Magellan and the others are currently on board the Philippines.

After sleeping rough on the islands for a period of time, they recuperated their spirits and prepared to launch an attack on the original inhabitants of the islands!

Because the indigenous people here are very backward, so their weapons and other equipment are also very backward. Magellan first observed them for many days, with the intention of using the few people in their fleet, and then adding the internal resources of the indigenous people here.

There was a conflict, that is, the two indigenous peoples were often massacring each other. At this point, Magellan wanted to take advantage of this situation and control both indigenous groups in his own hands, so that this rich land belonged to Magellan himself.

Now we can't say that this is the so-called selfishness, or that this is the so-called human nature and getting rich, we have to say that this is a dream! Therefore, Magellan dreamed about what would happen after controlling the entire area, and then began to help one of the indigenous people.

They went to attack another native place, but unfortunately, Magellan himself was killed! When the remaining crew saw that Captain Magellan was dead, they temporarily gave up control of this place and fled first.

wonderful.

At present, after Magellan's death, the circumnavigation of the world will be in danger of being aborted. This is absolutely inevitable, but fortunately Magellan's right-hand man Eli Cano is also very knowledgeable about navigation. We have also said before that before the crew

When there is a large-scale downsizing, the useful people must be kept, and only those who are not of great use will be killed. So far, Eli Cano is a very useful person. He leads the entire group of people who have only a few remaining people.

fleet and led the remaining two boats to escape the pursuit of the natives. We can also say that we escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Then the fleet, led by Eric Cano, passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean. At this time, they only had two ships left, and one of them was captured by the Portuguese navy. So far, Eric Cano

Nuo had no choice but to lead the only remaining ship, the Victoria, which circled the Cape of Good Hope and returned to the Port of Seville, Spain. It was already September 6, 1522. After more than three years,

Sailing, it turns out that the mighty team currently only has a dilapidated Victoria and 18 crew members. It is not difficult to see from here that the cost of this voyage was heavy.

But now we have to understand this circumnavigation from another aspect. The circumnavigation, which lasted more than three years, proved with ironclad facts that the earth is round. This also led to the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round, which is self-defeating.

At the same time, it also led to a great change in the form of the entire world, which in disguise announced the arrival of a new era.

In fact, let’s briefly understand the arrival of this new era, because we will conduct a systematic analysis next. First of all, we must understand that while Magellan and others made great contributions to the world’s navigation history, they also objectively opened the way for the expansion of colonialism.

A broad road. So this is an absolutely miserable catastrophe for the entire East!

Then we will immediately analyze the catastrophes of these Eastern people step by step: Now we can say that it is after the Great Geographical Discovery. What about Spain? In fact, they have been plundering gold, silver and jewelry from the colonies.

The rich mineral resources, for those people in the places colonized by Spain, the Spanish are simply the most evil demons in the world. In short, the local residents of the colonies have to work day and night, and die in large numbers.

At the same time, there are not enough to eat, no clothing to cover the body, and more local residents have to die from exhaustion in labor every day. Moreover, all the rewards of these local residents' labor have been taken away by the Spanish. Of course, we also

It can be said that these local residents are slaves of the Spaniards, and they are the talking tools in the eyes of the Spaniards!

And later on, great geographical discoveries were made, and Magellan's logbook also contained records from many countries, and the records in these logbooks were very rigorous, with coordinates and general information about the local people.

To the Spaniards, in disguise, Magellan's logbook was actually the largest treasure map in the world. Moreover, this treasure map did not make any secrets. In short, all the coordinates were very clear.

At this point, the Spaniards felt that they were suddenly filled with all kinds of dreams. These dreams were the pursuit of fame and fortune. Then they called these people who had the dream of pursuing fame and fortune adventurers, and these Spanish people

Adventurers turned their attention to South America.

The Incas of South America established the Inca Empire on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and on the west side of the Andes Mountains. This Inca Empire included our modern-day Peru, Ecuador, western Bolivia, and some areas in northern Chile. The territory was very vast and the resources and products were extremely rich.

The most famous one is Machu Picchu in Peru. Machu Picchu means ancient mountain. It is located between two extremely steep peaks in the Andes. It was the capital of the Inca Empire and was very prosperous.

Then we will immediately take a look at this huge disaster caused by the great geographical discovery. In 1522, Magellan's fleet actually returned to the port of Seville on September 6, 1522.

, so it was also in the same year that some people could not help but want to look for the Inca Empire. At this time, Francisco Pizarro, an adventurer who was still illiterate, immediately had a dream after he learned about the existence of the Inca Empire.

, that is, to hunt for treasures in the Inca Empire, and even have a bigger dream. This dream is to be greedy, cunning, and ambitious in nature, determined to lead an army to conquer the entire Inca Empire.

Because there is gold in Peru, and there is a clear record in Magellan's logbook, now Cisco Pizarro wants to conquer the Inca Empire. This is exactly what the Spanish royal family needs him to do, and the Spanish royal family has strongly supported it so far.

This voyage gave Xisco Pizarro many ships and excellent warriors! In 1528, Xisco Pizarro successfully landed on the coast of Peru, because there was no need to search for this.

, they had Magellan's logbook and knew the very precise coordinates, so Pizarro led the army to directly massacre some Peruvian people, and then grabbed a lot of gold! After all, this is what the Spaniards need, he Pizarro

As a result, Luo will be put to greater use. Whether it is fame, power and prestige, it will be promoted higher. This is a dream! And this dream is based on the death of Peruvians and the suffocating pain of countless people.

Up.

After Pizarro returned to Spain this time, he brought so much gold to the Spanish royal family. As soon as the Spanish royal family saw the gold, they immediately rewarded Pizarro and felt that Pizarro was simply the savior of the entire Spain.

He is a hero! So far, Pizarro has fulfilled his dream! But after our so-called dreams are realized, we humans will still have bigger dreams. We don’t need to analyze the essence of our dreams as humans here.

Right? I believe everyone knows it.

Another thing is that Pizarro's dream is also the dream of the Spanish royal family! Therefore, the Spanish royal family gave Pizarro many more ships. This time, they can't be said to be ships, but can be said to be fleets! And

More sailors were given, no! We can't say these people are sailors, because this is already a regular navy, all of them are navy equipped with firearms. They are an extremely regular army.

Pizarro was given so much fleet and navy that in January 1531, Pizarro, who was already fifty-six years old, was working hard for his dream and the dream of the Spanish royal family.

Tireless! Pizarro is now leading an expeditionary force consisting of one hundred and eighty men, two cannons and twenty-seven horses. He set sail from Panama and began his conquest. No! We should say that he began his conquest.

Pizarro's dream journey with the Spanish royal family.

In 1532, Pizarro once again landed on the coast of Peru, and then led his small army deep into the interior along the Andes. At this time, the Inca Empire was also in the midst of civil strife.

The main reason is that the Inca Empire did not realize democracy. Although the geographical resources are very rich, and although the civilians work very hard, they will still starve to death, so the civilians have to resist. The other one is the high-level officials of the Inca Empire.

The struggle for power between them was caused by these problems, so the entire Inca Empire was also at war, with countless casualties every day.

It was precisely the Inca Empire that was in the middle of this kind of dispute. Atahualpa, who currently held the military power of the Inca Empire, killed his brother, who was the Inca emperor at this time, and proclaimed himself emperor, so he was the emperor at this time.

While they were busy quelling the civil strife in the country, they did not take any defensive measures against invasion by foreign enemies.

So at this time, Pizarro, who understood all the current situation, decided to adopt the method of capturing Atahualpa and then subduing the Inca Empire based on the high degree of centralization of the Inca Empire and the fact that the emperor was deified by people.
