Chapter 720: The Second Kingdom Exploration, Shuiyue Jinghuas Sigh
The stars in the sky are reflected on the sea, turning into gorgeous floating strips of light. The stars and the moon shine together, and the sparkling waves are undulating, like dreamy water-moon mirror flowers. People on the longboat gaze at the peaceful beauty of the sea and listen to the distant
The singing. No one spoke, no one wanted to break the silence of Taoyuan for this moment.
Such a quiet and peaceful life has lasted for thousands of years in the Taíno tribes of the Caribbean Islands. But just as the two people on the boat had predicted, the beautiful flowers were about to come to an end and wither away in the wind and rain.
Three years later, Columbus's expedition fleet will arrive here and start the massacre of Native Americans. The peace, harmlessness and prosperity of the Taíno people will inspire the most cruel violence of the white people. Looting, killing, and enslaving
, animal lust... all the most terrible crimes will appear on this fertile archipelago. By then, no matter men, women, old or young, even newborn babies, will become meat torn into pieces in the mouths of hounds. It is not just in twos and threes.
It is a crime, but a large-scale and systematic extermination, no doubt!
When the second exploration brought enough soldiers, Columbus began to frantically seek wealth and kill wantonly. He claimed that all the land he saw belonged to the Kingdom of Spain, and he was the governor of the Kingdom in the New World. He
All Taíno islanders under their control were ordered to hand over a pound of gold sand or a large piece of cotton cloth every three months. All villagers who were unable to do so had their hands cut off, hung around their necks in public, and died of bloodshed.
The number of islanders who died as a result is in the tens of thousands on the islands.
When they arrive later, the impoverished Spanish thugs will also join in the brutal carnival. They are extremely vicious and frantically plunder the land, gold, silver, slaves, and female slaves they desire from the indigenous villages... and they also want to satisfy their desire for wanton killing.
He has an animalistic nature and takes pleasure in killing old people who are unable to work at will.
According to the original history, when the white man's fleet arrived, the countdown to the end began. Facing the Taino islanders who lacked force, the greedy Spanish thugs would never show any mercy! Their cruelty even caused the priests who were aboard the ship to
They couldn't stand it anymore and thought that hell was coming to the world.
After the appearance of white people, within ten years, all the indigenous villages along the Caribbean coast, from Cuba to Haiti to the Lesser Antilles, would be plundered, enslaved, massacred or destroyed by the Spaniards. The remaining islanders could only hide.
Entering the mountains and forests, praying to avoid the crazy plundering of white people.
Within thirty years, millions of indigenous people across the Caribbean islands will die under the brutality of white people, and 80% of the population will be wiped out. Smallpox begins to spread on the islands for the first time, destroying tribes who have fled into the mountains and forests. And endless slavery
and abuse, which would make Taíno women under Spanish rule prefer to throw their babies to death rather than let them live and suffer.
Within half a century, more than 95% of the Taíno and Caribbean tribes on the Caribbean Islands will perish! And the Spanish will continue to sow death and madly plunder the wealth of Central America. Following in the footsteps of smallpox,
It is the terrible typhus. The three major epidemics of these two plagues in Central America will kill tens of millions of indigenous people and reduce the population of the so-called New Spain by more than 85%!
Half a century later, the Americas were filled with desolate and ghostly dead cities, and the Spanish rulers were still ruthlessly extracting wealth. They preached about the white man's divine constitution to resist the plague, and did not care at all about the extinction of the ruled tribes, nor would they
Take systematic measures to resist the plague. They will even artificially spread the disease and destroy the resistance of the remaining tribes.
Because they came here never to build anything, bring any light or enlightenment. Because no matter what kind of cloak they put on, their purpose has never changed. It is just to plunder wealth and destroy!
Of course, at this moment, the two people on the boat did not know and could not imagine these tragic futures that took place in another time and space. At this time, only Shulot in the world of Central America could see all this clearly and predict it.
In the future. As a fleet that has settled in advance, the primary goal of everyone's exploration is to find the large open-air iron mine in Cuba and establish the first kingdom stronghold.
"Ti Carlo, we started from the western mountains of the Snake Tail and headed east along the Cuban Snake Island. It took us two months to arrive at the Golden Lake of the Snake Head... This journey must be two thousand miles, right?"
"Dear Captain Chihuaco, this journey must be two thousand miles! I even feel it is two thousand four hundred miles... In the past two months, we have not stopped much. We have been rowing eastward, and it is going smoothly.
A section of ocean current borrowed some east wind..."
Ti Carlo stretched out his hand and touched his smart bald head. Then he pinched his fingers and calculated in a low voice.
"Starting from the familiar Xishan Department, about a hundred miles to the east is the Lake Bird Department on the edge of the big lake. Another three hundred miles is the Forest Department on the coastal plain, and another hundred miles is the Bata Department on the lowland seaside. This section
During the trip, we found two lost longships... Then we traveled four to five hundred miles southeast, bypassing the desolate southern tidal flats and swamps, and arrived at the Brown Bay by the jungle bay, where we found the last lost longship. Again.
Nearly two hundred miles to the east is the rich Jaguar Division on the inside of the lagoon. Another two hundred miles away is the Cascade Hill Division with numerous waterfalls and undulating hills... From the eastern mountain section of the Snake's Tail to the Cascade Hill Section in the middle section of the Long Snake.
It’s already 1,200 miles away!”
"From the waterfall in the middle to the east, there are many tidal flats along the coast, all of which are small fishing villages. The powerful Sahara, Haratori, and Kamagui tribes are all inland. After the fleet has traveled 700 miles, it is
The larger one is located along the coast of Shacun. From Shacun further east, along the coast for five hundred miles, you will arrive at the Jianwan section of the southern corner of Shetou. In fact, you can directly cross the sea from Shacun and sail to the southeast.
, you can reach the Jianwan part directly in two to three hundred miles... From the waterfall hill part in the middle part of the long snake to the Jianwan part at the head of the snake, this is another thousand, two hundred miles!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Going around the promontory from Jianwan Department, and then four to five hundred miles eastward, we are at Jinhu Department where we are at the moment. Jinhu Department is also located in a lagoon.
On the inside, the bay is calm and calm. Thirty miles west of here, there is a large red and yellow mountain, which is the most famous scenery in the area... Phew! Counting it all, in the past two months, we have sailed 2,000 kilometers along the way.
Eight hundred miles!”
Upon hearing such detailed calculations, the old militiaman Chihuaco opened his eyes wide, pulled his hair hard, and took a breath.
"Oh! You are so blind! This Cuban Snake Island is actually so big, and things are two to three thousand miles away!... Hiss! If there were no records of Mayapan in Tikalo, and we didn't know the specific location of the iron mines, we would be randomly wandering around.
If we are searching on the island, which year should we go to find it?...Ha! You are so blind! You sent us out, how bad it is!..."
The stars are bright and the moon is dim. It makes people miss their hometown and gradually give rise to melancholy. Chihuaco suppressed his voice and cursed a few words in a low voice, feeling a little sad. This time he left his hometown in the Lake District, which is probably seven or eight thousand miles away.
I don’t know if I can go back alive...
The old militiaman thought wildly for a while before his expression calmed down. He recalled what Ti Carlo had just said, blinked his eyes sharply, and his expression changed.
"Wait a minute! Tikallo, you just said that there is a large red and yellow mountain thirty miles west of Jinhu Department? What does that mountain look like specifically?"
"Huh? Yes, that mountain is in this area. The ancestors' fleet has records and is marked on the sailing heritage board. However, I have never been... Why, is there anything special about this mountain?
Place?"
Tikalo was startled, touching his head, and there was some speculation in his eyes. The old militiaman looked at him for a while, then he said with a deep smile.
"Witness the Lord God! I don't know what is on the mountain. But the red and yellow color is indeed a bit strange, giving me some uncertain premonitions. When I was exploring the northern continent, I also heard the local tribes say something similar
The mountain is... No matter what, we will find out if we call the priests who are on board the fleet tomorrow to take a look!"
