Magellan, who failed to be promoted to the King of Circles, took a total of five ships when he set out.
Just after arriving in America, three captains rebelled and were assassinated by Magellan. They also deceived the natives, captured two residents and locked them in the cabin, preparing to take them back to the Spanish king - because these natives were tall and had strange clothes.
, completely out of the mentality of catching monkeys.
Magellan's fleet crossed the Pacific by eating leather, sawdust, snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
After arriving in Asia, I finally encountered an inhabited island. The natives welcomed them warmly and even though they couldn't understand the language, they took the initiative to send food, fruits and vegetables. Because the natives were ignorant, everything they saw was strange. From the boat
They removed some items and stole a lifeboat, which made Magellan angry.
Magellan landed with armed men, killed seven natives, burned dozens of huts and dozens of boats, killed people and set fire to them, grabbed food and continued sailing.
Finally arriving at Cebu Island, which speaks Javanese, Magellan had one of his followers who was a Javanese. He held a military exercise near Cebu Island, enthusiastically expressed his goodwill, forced the indigenous leader to become a vassal of Spain, and returned the leader and his family to Spain.
Hundreds of people were baptized and converted to Christianity.
In order to improve his prestige and make these indigenous vassals more sincere, Magellan intervened in the wars among the indigenous people.
This guy took more than 60 people and rowed a small boat to land on the hostile island and set fire to the houses of the hostile natives. The natives were extremely angry and could use javelins, stones, and axes to attack them, so Magellan, the king of circles, died in confusion.
Already.
At this point, Magellan's fleet only had two ships left, and the remaining crew members were less than fifty.
The plot after that was completely chaotic. Historically, East Java could still breathe and still occupied the Spice Islands. Magellan's fleet, which had only two ships left, did not dare to provoke the local overlord anymore, so it relied on deception and abduction in exchange for a large amount of spices, and then headed south.
After passing through Java Island, we bypassed the Portuguese-colonized Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean directly, even abandoning a ship due to water leakage on the way.
Now due to the rise of the Ming Dynasty, East Java has long since fallen apart.
Seeing that there was no danger, Magellan's fleet sailed along the northern coastline of Java Island and plunged into the sphere of influence of the Ming Navy.
As a result, the fleet was detained by the Ming Dynasty Navy on the charge of smuggling spices. Two carracks and more than 30 Spanish crew members were all captured and used as naval servants.
"Zhongde, do you believe that the earth is round?" Wang Yuan asked with a smile.
Wang Chong replied: "This matter has been concluded for a long time. Everyone in the physics school knows it. Why do you ask this question today?"
Wang Yuan asked Zhang Mu again: "What do you think?"
Zhang Mu shook his head: "I don't know."
Wang Yuan took out a large pile of documents: "Zhong De, please take a look."
Wang Chong read carefully for a long time, and then focused on the navigation charts, and exclaimed in surprise: "Someone actually went west and ended up in the east!"
These documents were sent by Ning Botao along with the letter.
Ning Botao was Wang Yuan's confidant in Hangzhou. He was a former Taihu water bandit and is now the deputy leader of the Daming Navy. His main responsibility is to supervise the navy for Wang Yuan and collect various information in Nanyang.
Although Magellan is dead, he still has a complete logbook on his ship, as well as navigation charts that he made himself. After Ning Botao had someone translate them, he copied them all and sent them to Wang Yuan intact.
"It seems that the earth is indeed round." Wang Yuan sighed.
Wang Chong went to read the voyage log again, which was as novel as reading about gods and monsters. After reading most of it, Wang Chong said with emotion: "These Thai and Western barbarians are simply bandits and robbers, burning, killing and looting all the way. But they are indeed very courageous.
After more than two years of sailing at sea, most of the crew members died of illness and starvation, but they were still able to reach Nanyang by boat."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "You make a copy and send it to your Majesty on a fast ship. I believe your Majesty will like it very much."
What Wang Yuan didn't know was that because of his appearance, not only was Magellan's fleet unable to complete its circumnavigation, but Vasco da Gama was also appointed governor-general of India in advance!
Because of the loss of Malacca and the loss of the spice route, the King of Portugal was furious, and the Portuguese nobles were also excited. The reason for the anger was very simple. The price of spices had increased because of this. After all, the Ming Navy had to collect a layer of tax in Singapore, and the King of Malacca was
Malacca also charges taxes.
Vasco da Gama was appointed as the new governor of India, his brother became the new commander of the Indian fleet, and he also brought several ships of his old friends across the Atlantic.
Because he set out several years in advance, Vasco da Gama did not contract dysentery on the way, nor did he die of the disease as soon as he arrived in India. This guy was building ships and cannons like crazy, and his first target was Malacca. He wanted to recapture the city of Malacca and take over the city.
Later, I also wanted to drive the Ming Dynasty Navy away from Singapore.
…
The students went to copy navigation information, and Wang Yuan stayed alone in the room reading. He was actually planning the affairs of Liaodong and Duoyan Sanwei.
There were two great Khans on the left and the right at the same time. After fighting against each other for several years, they actually stopped fighting because neither could destroy the other. They simply pinched their noses and ignored the existence of the other, and turned around to attack other enemies.
The right-wing Mongols went west to attack Oara and seize the pastures of various tribes in Oara.
The left-wing Mongolia attacked Wuliangha from the north (not the Duoyan Sanwei, but the Duoyan Sanwei was also called Wuliangha). The tribes of Wuliangha were forced to move westward and occupied the Helin area (the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty). The left-wing Mongolia invaded the Duoyan Sanwei from the south.
The three Duoyan guards were forced to fight back, and Fu Yuwei was beaten and fled eastward, developing towards Heilongjiang and Jilin. The Duoyan and Taining guards were beaten and moved south, and they repeatedly asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops for help.
The reason for the crazy expansion of Tatar and Mongolia was purely because the weather was too cold and they suffered heavy losses every winter, which had to be made up by robbing pasture, livestock and people.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to regain Daning City, which became more difficult because more Duoyan people moved to Daning!
"Master, it's time to rest." Xia Chan brought hot soup.
"Yeah." Wang Yuan leaned back on the chair, stretched out and closed his eyes to rest.
Xia Chan walked up behind him, gently rubbed his temples with her hands, and then kneaded and beat his shoulders again, making our governor feel very comfortable.
After a massage, Wang Yuan felt refreshed and asked: "Who did you learn this skill from?"
Xia Chan smiled and said: "Mrs. Nie (Huang E's mother) also pressed Mr. Huang like this, especially when Mr. Huang was drunk."
"Lord Taishan, you really enjoy it." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
Xia Chan walked around half a circle and sat down in Wang Yuan's arms: "I have been away from Beijing for several months and there is no one around to take care of me, but my wife is very distressed. She... is also very distressed. I beg my wife every day before I was sent to Liaodong."
Serving the master."
From a girl to a young woman, Xia Chan has gained a lot of weight and is more knowledgeable about style.
Wang Yuan was quickly provoked to react and said with a smile: "You little devil, why don't you do this at home?"
Xia Chan smiled and said, "My lady is here, but I don't dare to do it."
There was a maid next to him, and Wang Yuan was not well served, and had to serve the maid in turn. This girl was far away from her mistress, and she immediately became wild and came here every night to pester her.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed, and only thirty of the war horses in the ranch were pregnant. Xia Chan found out that she was pregnant, and had to buy another maid to take care of her.
Wang Yuan had nothing to do in Yongning Prison, so he simply wrote a letter to call Xiangxiang and Qiyun over, asking the two foreign beauties to accompany him to relieve his boredom.
Alas, a degenerate life is just too much leisure.
Who made the Liaonan military attache so cowardly? Wang Yuan just stayed in Yongning Prison and refused to leave. Those guys were too frightened to dare to take the initiative. The civil affairs officer cleared the land and the Qing soldiers spit out countless vested interests.
