93. Cortez's gamble

Although in modern China, there are 150 million patients who need organ transplants every year, only more than 1 people can receive organ transplants. In addition, there are many "Chinese organ transplant tourism" by foreigners, competing with Chinese people for limited organ sources , the contradiction between supply and demand of human organs is extremely prominent;

Although in modern China, the quotation for each kidney is at least more than 10 RMB, and the price for liver and heart is even higher;

Although in modern China, the organs of every death-row prisoner have been snapped up and reserved by major hospitals long before the execution, and even according to the preparations for the transplant operation, the execution time of the prisoner is advanced or postponed until all the patients are exhausted. The shooting can only be carried out on the operating table;

Although in Central America in the 16th century, tens of thousands of young and healthy human sacrifices were disemboweled by the priests on the pyramids for nothing every year, and the beating hearts were taken out, and the aborigines have always been accustomed to this , endless joy;

Although Wang Qiu's space-time teleportation ability, when teleporting ordinary living people, has a death rate of at least half of it every time, it is still considered to have a success rate of about half... Treating aliens without legal human rights When facing indigenous peoples, the above-mentioned loss ratio seems to be acceptable;

However, this horrific business of selling the aborigines as piglets and transporting innocent healthy people to another world to harvest their organs for profit has seriously broken the moral bottom line of Wang Qiu and others—that is really far worse than Slave merchants and arms dealers are even worse death merchants!

With their moral values ​​as petty citizens in the peaceful era, it is temporarily impossible to accept such a cruel, bloody, and death-filled evil transaction.

Professor Yang was so angry that he went to the police immediately, scolding that this was a criminal act that violated party spirit and human nature; Obviously, in Mesoamerica in the 16th century without freeze sterilization equipment, human organs could not be preserved after removal; moreover, those Aztec priests who actually practiced cao knives did not have the corresponding surgical skills; The heart that was grabbed without even wearing a glove, even if it was really brought back to modern times, I'm afraid it can only be used to cook human offal soup.

Therefore, if the transmigrators really want to sell human organs, they must send the entire living sacrifice to be dissected by expert doctors in modern time and space.But in this way, there will be too many people talking, and it is difficult to guarantee that the details will not be leaked.And once such a serious anti-human thing is leaked, it will be a super scandal comparable to the death camp of Auschwitz in Nazi Germany!

The most frightening thing is that, as we all know, according to the unspoken rules of the Chinese system, once something big goes wrong, before it endangers the officials above, it usually throws a few temporary workers to take the blame, but this unit has the least seniority It seems that there is no one better than myself... Isn't it obvious that all achievements are due to your good leadership, and if something goes wrong, I, a newcomer temporary worker, will be the top of the tank?

This kind of business that is pulled to serve as a shield, no matter how you look at it, is guaranteed to be compensated and not profitable, it must never be done!

Even Lei Feng is not so selfless!

Seeing that the public outrage was hard to come by, Director Ma had no choice but to give up his crazy plan of carrying out "cross-plane human organ trading".

Next, it was time for everyone to leave Tenochtitlan.

----------------------

"...On November 1519, 11, after the Chinese and the Hongxiutizgan people signed a new peace treaty, they left Tenochtitlan. One day before leaving, in order to thank Emperor Montezuma The hospitality of the Chinese people held an open-air barbecue banquet on the lake beach in the suburbs - for some reason, the Chinese translated this to me as 'bbq' - as a return to the emperor's banquet, and I was honored to be invited join.

The main course of this banquet is a variety of grilled fish and meat. The chef brought by the Chinese marinated meat and fish pieces about the size of a finger, and then skewered them with bamboo sticks or iron brazing. Pair it with onions, radishes and some other vegetables, roast it on the bonfire and sprinkle with pepper, chili, and a spice called 'cumin', which can smell fragrant from a distance. It makes people feel very appetizing at first sight.

Of course, if you only eat grilled fish and grilled meat, it will definitely make people feel very greasy, so the Chinese also prepared a lot of exquisite small cakes and candies for the banquet.In addition, there are a lot of delicious fruits, which are marinated in sugar water and honey luxuriously, soaked in transparent glass bottles (assorted fruit cans), which look colorful and pleasant, and the quantity is so large that they can be built The wall... I still remember that when I was in college, in order to please girls, I bought several expensive honey-soaked peaches as gifts. The price of each honey-soaked peach was at least twenty silver coins! (Related history books are too boring, you can refer to "Wolf and Spice")

And at this banquet, I not only saw at least dozens of cans of candied peaches (canned yellow peaches) soaked in honey water, but also honey-soaked pineapples, diced pears and apples, and many other things I couldn’t recognize. Every kind of fruit is intoxicatingly sweet... This is really a group of people who are extravagant and depraved!

In addition, large pots of broth, soups, and stews were served at the feast, with spiced sauces to keep everyone satisfied.

Also, it wasn't until I attended this banquet that I discovered for the first time that these Chinese really eat with two small wooden sticks!And on the road before, because I only saw them grabbing bread and bread with their hands and stuffing them into their mouths, I thought the records in "Marco Polo's Travels" were wrong!

What especially excited the drunkards in the expedition team was that many flavors of good wine were served openly at this banquet, and they were also packed in glass bottles of various colors.Among them are not only beer, shochu and wine that we are familiar with, but also many famous oriental wines that we have never seen, each of which tastes very mellow.In addition, there are tea and sweet juices for women and children, which look very attractive in red and green.

The Aztecs were generally very interested in wine that was as bright as blood, and believed that this was the drink that warriors should drink.And since I left Spain, it has been a long time since I have been able to drink wine as freely as I am now, and naturally I will not miss this rare opportunity to drink booze - because of the climate and soil quality, there are very few colonies in the West Indies Some people grow grapes, and the price of wine transported from mainland Europe is too high for most people to drink local liquor made from cassava and corn, including me...

According to Marina, I drank at least twenty bottles of wine and shochu at the banquet, and immediately became unconscious and made many crazy and strange actions. It didn't help, so in the end I had to be carried back with my arms..."

After writing the last letter, Cortez carefully blotted the sand to dry up the ink, then threw away the quill, rubbed his head that was stinging from the hangover, stood up, and looked up at the window. The setting sun, dazedly lost in thought.

There was a sound of regular footsteps behind him, and he knew who it was without turning his head.

"...Is that you? Alvarado, how is the situation outside the city? Have all the Chinese gone away?"

"...Yes, according to what I have seen with my own eyes, the Chinese army has completely moved out and left along the Lakeshore Avenue, heading east. And the 10,000+ locals who were previously hired by them with food, cloth and salt, in Two days ago, they were paid and dismissed on the spot, and went home separately. The foreign troops that are still in this city are only us and the Tlaxcalans.”

The deputy commander of the Spanish expedition, Alvarado, Cortes' confidant and old friend, reported him in this way.

"...Oh, it's good to go...with them staying by my side, I really can't do anything!" Cortez couldn't help sighing sincerely.

Ever since he met these "envoys of the Chinese emperor" in Cholula City and had to act together with them, a feeling of being tied down weighed heavily on Cortez's heart, making him He felt extremely uncomfortable.

And at this moment, the boulder was finally moved away!Cortez, who was wild and unruly by nature, suddenly felt a burst of relief all over his body.

Next, after falling out with the Cuban governor and becoming a wanted criminal, abandoning the ship and landing on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico, and leading a small group of soldiers and horses to go deep into the plateau, His Excellency Hernan Cortez is going to start another rich life in his life. Challenging adventures and high stakes!

"... Now that these arrogant Chinese are gone, it's our turn to do something big!"

He got up and put on a piece of clothing, and said to his deputy, "...Alvarado, go to the palace with me now, and invite Montezuma Emperor to come to us for a banquet! At the same time, let the brothers get ready , as soon as this barbarian emperor arrives, we will immediately control him!"

However, Alvarado seemed to be hesitant about this—his guts seemed to have shrunk a lot since he was beaten to shame by the Chinese in Cholula—he sat down at the table and said hesitantly, " ...my commander, should you reconsider. After all, kidnapping the emperor of the Aztecs in their capital and imprisoning the emperor in his own palace...is too risky in any way gone."

"...Yes, this is indeed a dangerous adventure, but we have to do it!"

Cortez bent down, put his hands on the table, and looked down at his deputy, "...don't you know how dangerous our situation is? Alvarado! Don't be fooled by wine and women! In the enemy's base camp, there are only more than 100 Spaniards and more than 2000 unreliable Indian allies, but they may face the siege of thousands of Aztecs at any time, and there is not even a way out!

What's more terrible is that the Aztecs probably already understood that we are not gods after being so disturbed by the Chinese, and they didn't have the initial fear of us!Although Emperor Montezuma treated us politely for the time being, who knows when he will suddenly change his attitude!So, even if it's just to protect our own safety, we must hold a hostage of weight! "

Cortez put his arms around Alvarado's shoulders and forced him to look at him, sparks of madness danced in his clear eyes:

"...Remember! Alvarado, fate will only favor those who are brave! And the Almighty God will bless us with success! Do you want to be killed as a coward, or become the conqueror of this land? Great hero of the land?!"

When he said this, the frustration and helplessness that had lingered on Cortez before had been swept away.Something indescribable made him radiant, filled with incomparably great power, and seemed to be able to emit a dazzling brilliance that cannot be seen directly.

Perhaps, this is a certain innate talent in those legendary heroes throughout the ages!
