130 Eight, Magellan and Pizarro ()

Just as the Hongxiutizgan people in Hope Harbor were in a mess because of the approach of a strange ship.On the deck of a certain Spanish galleon, several Europeans commanding the fleet were also looking at this port city, which was said to be extremely rich and full of rare treasures.

It is a pity that the first practical nautical telescope in human history was not invented until 1608 by Libercy, the owner of the Dutch optical shop, and then further improved by the Italian scientist Galileo to make it more practical-so Hong Xiutiz, who was on the shore When dry people use binoculars to detect the enemy's situation, you self-proclaimed "smart men" Spanish fleet commanders have no binoculars to use and can only look out with the naked eye.

"...that's... a rocket?! Uh, it seems that there are indeed some incredible things in this place that are different from the natives in other places..."

A middle-aged man with a bushy beard is standing on the front deck of the flagship "Trinidad", squinting his eyes and looking at the beach in the distance, especially some unknown object that is dragging smoke and screaming, while pursing his mouth muttered so quietly.

This man was wearing a dark shirt and a leather waistcoat and a big hat decorated with gorgeous feathers. Somewhat unstable.

Behind him was a dark-faced and short personal servant who was said to be from Southeast Asia.

He is the supreme commander of this fleet, the Spanish navy general Fernando Magellan who was born in Portugal.

After more than a year of arduous sailing, the Magellan fleet finally circumnavigated the entire South America and arrived at the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Compared with the history of another time and space, Magellan’s voyage in this time and space was obviously much smoother—because in September 1519, when the fleet was about to set off, the great news of “Chinese people were discovered in the New World” suddenly came from Cuba Island Therefore, the Spanish royal family paid more attention to this voyage, not only added a large sum of money, but also specially dispatched palace officials to select a group of reliable and loyal excellent sailors for Magellan to replace the former recruited from taverns and even prisons. sloppy guy.

Of course, at the same time, the Magellan Navy inevitably made some small modifications to the ultimate goal of this voyage.

Even more fortunately, there was a time difference between the departure of Magellan's fleet and Director Ma's "Pandora's Box" against the European germ warfare plan.If Magellan went to Spain and Portugal a year later, he would no longer exist by then, and he could only pray to the Sultan of Morocco for funding.

In short, thanks to the attention of the royal family, the refreshed Magellan fleet did not break out during the voyage, and the supplies and supplies purchased were more sufficient than in history.Two months after he left Seville in September with five boats, he came to the coast of Brazil and then continued south to near Tierra del Fuego in later Argentina.Due to the relatively ideal condition of the fleet, Magellan did not order to drop anchor in this wild land to rest, but continued to search for a way forward and successfully discovered the later Strait of Magellan and entered the Pacific Ocean.

During the process of crossing the Strait of Magellan, Magellan lost his smallest ship, the San Diego, due to the many reefs in the winding channel.During the subsequent voyage along the northern coast of Chile, another ship had to be abandoned by the fleet because of serious leaks and twisted keels.

From Spain with four distinct seasons to the hot and humid Brazil, to the snow-capped Tierra del Fuego near the Antarctic Circle and the dry desert off the coast of Chile... Magellan's fleet passed through very different climate zones one after another. In the damp and narrow cabin, gnaw on rotten and smelly salted fish, bacon that is harder than mahogany, hard bread with maggots crawling around, cheese that is like a stone that can make people gnaw their teeth, and endure deadly... Scurvy and terrible storms and drastic changes in climate.Every month someone dies and someone else goes mad.But the desire for wealth and honor still supports them to overcome all difficulties and dangers and explore the strange and unknown world little by little.

——I have to admit that those colonists who ate stinky meat and drank stinky water for three days and died of plague at both ends, but still gritted their teeth and squeezed into wooden sailboats like livestock, burned, killed and plundered the colonists all over the world, although they were the most brutal and cold-blooded Shameless robbers, but if there were no generations of thugs from their ancestors who licked blood and endured hardships, there would be no comfortable life of today's Western slackers and wastes who play every day, do not work, eat welfare, give birth to children and throw their children into the poorhouse.

But in today's China, some people are typical people who are lazy before they get rich and dream all day long to live a life as comfortable as Europeans, but don't think about how their good life came about-you have to be with those who are eating ancestral benefits The Europeans have no problem studying, but don't forget that their ancestors were robbery, massacre, war, trade, no matter how sinful they were, at least they all suffered hardships and risked their lives back then.

Of course, what I said is off topic, and then I get back to business.

The route of the Magellan fleet off the coast of Chile finally had a huge deviation from the history of another time and space. At about ten degrees, it turns westward across the vast Pacific Ocean, but continues north along the coastlines of Chile and Peru in South America with the help of the Peruvian cold current.

According to Magellan's plan, he will sail all the way north to the colony of Panama - Spanish explorers who landed on the Atlantic coast discovered the "South Sea" (actually the Pacific Ocean) and established it on the Pacific coast in 1519. A small town-replenish manpower and supplies there for the final rest, and then sail north again to find the city that is said to be infested by Chinese.

But... Everyone knows that in the world in 1520, between the deserts of Chile and the Isthmus of Panama, among the majestic Andes mountains, there was another ancient American civilization comparable to Aztec and Maya—the Inca empire.

So the Magellan fleet all the way north came to the port of Tumbes in the Inca Empire in such a daze, and saw that this place was very prosperous and full of magnificent buildings piled up with huge stones, so they mistakenly regarded it as a Chinese colony.They didn't realize that they had found a new "eldorado" until they found that there was only gold but no silk and porcelain.

Looking at the gold necklaces of the local citizens, the gold water cups in the gold earrings, the gold dinner plates, and the gold-wrapped walls in the temple, the flowers and butterflies made of gold... Your Spanish adventures that are merciless to the pagans For a moment, the family members had evil thoughts in their hearts, and even though the Inca officials had just warmly entertained themselves with a sumptuous banquet, they wiped their greasy mouths and turned their faces and drew their knives to chop off at the astonished master's head!

In short, taking advantage of the short gap when the Incas were unprepared, Magellan led more than 100 desperadoes to break into the city of Tumbes under the cover of naval bombardment and looted a lot of gold and silver from the market and temples. I took a handful.

It is a pity that although General Magellan is proficient in sea navigation, his level of land warfare is obviously not very good. After he succeeded, the bandits under his command were besieged by furious Inca warriors in the streets and alleys before they could retreat.What's more terrible is that at this time, the Inca emperor Capac happened to be patrolling near the port of Tumbes. When he heard that there were white-skinned monsters robbing the city, he immediately brought the Praetorian Guards to suppress it...

In such a melee, the group of soldiers and horses brought into the city by Magellan was almost wiped out, and a sailing ship ran aground unfortunately because it ran aground when it pulled anchor in a hurry, and it became the spoils of the Inca army.Mr. Magellan, who was only hit by an arrow in his knee, limped away with a few cronies in a small boat and finally escaped from the port of Tumbes in a hurry with the flagship Trinidad and another ship, the Victoria.

Then, with lingering fears, Magellan no longer dared to waste time and quickly continued north with the only two remaining ships. Finally, he successfully arrived at the newly established Panama colony and caused a sensation among the local Spanish immigrants.
