Chapter 1,142 From the Bahamas, India, to Japan, Cuba...
"Aww! Ah! Aww!..."
The night is vast, and there are cries and sobs. Darkness is the beast in people's hearts, hiding terrifying and cruel power. On the flagship, the navigator Pedro lowered his head and hurried away in the dark night. In the dim captain's cabin, only the
Below is an angry Columbus standing with gritted teeth.
"Merda! How dare these idiots commit such a taboo! Do you really think I can't kill people?!..."
In medieval sailing, there were many strange, superstitious and deep-rooted sailing traditions. One of them was that women were not allowed on ocean-going ships! In the sailing culture of Western Europe, women on ships would bring bad luck, storms and unknowns, especially
Being on an ocean-going fleet will attract terrifying beings in the deep sea. Similarly, women will seriously undermine the discipline on the ship and cause conflicts among the crew...
In fact, Spanish and Portuguese captains preferred goats, which God loves. Because goats can not only be used for various purposes, but also bring blessings of good luck, and can also be sacrificed to giant beasts in the sea to calm storms in the sea...
The captains will acquiesce to the sailors burning, killing and looting on the shore, but as long as they have not degenerated to a certain level, they will never allow women on the ship! More often than not, when sailors bring women on board, it will be considered a sign of the captain's dignity.
Ignore and provoke...
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, are you looking for me?"
After a while, Alana came alone with his face glowing. He opened the door happily and looked at Columbus with a bright smile on his face.
"Eh? Brother-in-law! Isn't the big glass in your hand the one I just got today? I remember the tribesmen on that island dedicated this big glass bead to you. You thought it was a gem at first, and you laughed so hard.
He was grinning from ear to ear. Then he found out that it was a worthless green glass bead. He was so angry that he drew his sword on the spot and cut off the hand of the tribesman with one strike..."
"boom!…"
"Ah! Brother-in-law?! Why did you hit me on the head with a glass bead!...Are you crazy?..."
"Vaffanculo! Merda! It's you who are crazy! Don't give me this nonsense! Call me Commander!..."
Columbus had a ruthless look on his face, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand and the open skirt of Alana's clothes with the other, and asked fiercely.
"Alana! Let me ask you! What's going on with this woman's crying? How dare you break the rules on my ship and bring a woman on board?..."
"Ah! Ah this! Brother-in-law... Oh, Commander... We were at sea, risking life and death, and drifted for more than a month. The sailors had already gone crazy with the stress!... Now that we have finally reached the shore, we encountered these again.
The islanders who don't wear clothes. The beautiful and well-proportioned women on the island, all with attractive figures, naked, not even much hair, and even painted on their lower abdomens with paint... This... who can resist this?...
"
"Merda! Alana, you idiot! Whether you kill people on the island or play with native women, I don't care!... But let me ask you, who is it? Who asked you to bring women on board?
You messed up and broke the rules on my ship?!..."
"Ah! I...this!..."
The hanging oil lamp emitted an orange glimmer, shining on Columbus's fierce and blue face, like a zombie crawling out of a grave. Seeing Columbus's devouring expression, the guard chief Alana shuddered.
, finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He licked his lips nervously and answered in a low voice.
"The Lord has witnessed! The commander... is... the second boatswain, Chachu, took me and a few sailors to the village on the shore and caught a few beautiful young women. Come up and have fun... After coming up, the little half
All the sailors participated. They all gagged their mouths at first, but it was just because they got so anxious that the woman started crying..."
"Um, what I'm doing...didn't you ask me to have a good relationship with the sailors and win over them?..."
"Vaffanculo! Alana, you idiot, you don't understand anything!... Damn it! It's Chachu's thorn again!... Go! You immediately gather a few cronies, get weapons, and come out with me!...Merda! Today
At night, I have to cut off this guy’s head and hang it on the mast to feed the birds!…”
"Ah? Commander! Brother-in-law! You don't mean it! ... Lord! Brother-in-law, stop, don't be impulsive! You also know that Chachu is a thorn in the side, and he has several sailors under his command.
The sword skills are so strong... How could he just let us kill him?... You really have to leave the captain's cabin and go find trouble for him... Then he will come over to kill him, and he will be hung on the mast... I don't know who it is...
Woolen cloth!…"
Alana's face turned pale, blocking the door of the captain's cabin, hugging Columbus's waist tightly. Columbus, with an angry look on his face, holding a rapier in his hand, breathed rapidly for a while, and then gradually suppressed the urge to kill. He knew
Alana was right. After discovering the land, he had just established the majesty of the commander. This majesty was enough to command the fleet normally, but when it comes time to lick blood from the blade of the knife, it may not be as good as being able to mingle with the sailors.
Two boatswains…
"Merda! I'm going to hang these idiots sooner or later! ... No! No! Although this guy can fight, he has no brains... Tonight's scene, maybe he was instigated... Hmm! This thorn
If the sword stays here, it’s probably aimed at me!…”
Columbus stood there, his face uncertain, and his thoughts surging rapidly. After a moment, he suddenly sat back on the chair and asked in a deep voice.
"Alana! Think about it again! Was Boatswain Chachu the first to take the lead? Or was there someone else who instigated..."
"Well!…"
Guard Chief Alana stood nervously at the door, pulled his hair and thought for a while, then answered with some uncertainty.
"It seems that at the beginning... Boatswain Bato mentioned that he hasn't touched a woman for a long time? Then two people started making noises. They seemed to be senior sailors following Captain De La Cosa... Could it be..."
"Bosun Bato, Second Captain Dracosa!..."
Hearing this, Columbus's eyes sharpened, the expression on his face became more ferocious, and his voice was as low as a wild beast.
"Alana, what is De La Cosa doing now? Did he see you bringing women on board? What did you say?!"
"Uh!... The second captain seems to have gone to bed early in the cabin... I didn't see him appear this night, and I didn't pay attention to the messy sailors... It's really strange to say that..."
"Merda! This guy Dracosa must be seeing my joke! Maybe, this is what he is doing secretly and instigating! He wants to harm me!..."
Columbus' anger surged, and he thrust the sword in his hand into the floor, as if stabbing the "idiot" crew members.
"Vaffanculo! These idiots, bad guys! As soon as they discovered the new route, they all started to think... If I had a handy 'knife', I would pull out two thorns and chop them to death, and establish the rules on the ship.
!…”
At this point, Columbus gritted his teeth and his face was full of murderous intent. Unfortunately, he didn't have anyone who could kill, so he couldn't suppress the scum on the ship. At this moment, he suddenly missed the people he had encountered.
Shinra mercenaries, those people are all good at killing people without blinking an eye!…
"Merda! If I leave the captain's room now and see those idiots doing whatever they want... If they kill people, it might trigger a rebellion. If they don't kill people, then the dignity of the commander will be trampled under their feet again..."
"As a captain, if I can't hang sailors, how can I establish real authority? And as long as I have enough gold, I can hire those lawless guys... not only to kill people and write off the accounts, but also to suppress the sailors... etc.
Next time you go to sea, you must..."
Columbus's expression changed, and in the dim light, he gradually became a little gloomy and dangerous. After a while, he looked at Alana and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Witness the Lord! They have been making trouble for so long, and these idiots should have vented their anger... Alana, you are the captain of the guard and the person I trust most! I can only ignore what you have done.
To... you go back now, gather your cronies, and deal with the women you brought aboard!"
"Ah! Commander, I'm going to deal with it? How to deal with it?..."
"Merda! How to deal with it, do you still need me to tell you?!"
Seeing Columbus's ferocious expression, Alana was startled and nodded knowingly.
"Yes! Commander, I understand..."
"Then why don't you get out of here! Merda! Remember to keep an eye on that guy De La Cosa! If I find the opportunity, sooner or later I will kill him..."
Columbus's ferocious voice gradually became lower and quieter. Alana's heart trembled slightly, she took a deep breath, and walked out of the captain's cabin with a fierce look. After a while, there was a quarrel among the sailors on the ship, and then several
There was a woman's scream, and there were vague curses from the sailors. Then, there were a few "plops" of heavy objects falling into the water, and everything became quiet again.
In the captain's cabin, Columbus listened for a while and finally showed a slight smile. He lowered his head, continued to write the end of today in his voyage diary, and prayed to the merciful Lord.
"Merciful Lord! Merciful and wise Queen and King... These weak and friendly islanders are Christians who can convert to the Lord, and they are also subjects who can obey His Majesty... The brave commander of the expeditionary force will definitely dedicate himself to serve
The Lord spreads the faith and also spreads the glory of the Queen...Bless these ignorant Indians and bring them into your Majesty's merciful rule!..."
The tide surged, blood floated in the night wind, and prayers of mercy floated. When the long night passed, Columbus's fleet set sail again.
On October 14, Columbus's fleet left San Salvador Island, sailed southwest, discovered and named Santa Maria Island (Crooked Island). This island has a very wide bay, suitable for building a port. In this long and narrow island
On the island, they were once again warmly welcomed by the Taino tribe, traded more valuable cotton threads, and forcibly collected all the scattered gold. After confirming that there was no threat from the Taino people, they lived happily in the village
After some investigation, six Tylenol males were captured and brought aboard as a gift to the Queen.
"God bless! They know nothing about military affairs... As long as the queen and king give an order, we can bring all the natives back to the Kingdom of Castile, or detain them all on the island!
Because, with fifty of us, we can conquer thousands of islanders. No matter what we want to do, we can do it..."
After writing such a diary, Columbus also learned more details about the surroundings from the captured Tainos. There were obviously many large and small islands in the offshore sea where he was, which he named "
"Bahamas", which means "shallow sea". What he is looking for is the island tribe with gold and more wealth...
There is no doubt that the weakness of the Taíno people in these Bahamas has greatly stimulated his ambition and the desires of all the crew! Their superficial humanity gradually fades away, while the inner beasts are increasingly stimulated.
…
"Witness the Lord! The outstanding naval commander has made up his mind! Whenever you arrive at an island, you must occupy one! Only in this way can you claim to occupy all the islands and control the entire archipelago!..."
The fleet sailed along the long and narrow island of Santa Maria and discovered the northwest promontory of the island. Here, they first gave some small gifts, gathered the Taíno people, and collected all valuable goods. Then they discovered gold.
They forcibly obtained all the gold jewelry, and for the first time discovered strange leaves with unknown uses, as well as the cassava eaten by the islanders. In fact, this was the first time that Europeans saw tobacco on the Caribbean Islands...
On October 16, Columbus's fleet discovered and named Fernandina Island (Long Island). They continued to capture and question the Taino people, wanting to know where the big island and tribe with gold were? And they
The information obtained was mixed between true and false, and it was difficult to distinguish. On the one hand, the reason was the language barrier between the two parties. On the other hand, if the captured Tainos could not answer valuable information, they would be attacked by the sailors.
Whipping or even killing, you can only talk nonsense...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The natives of the Indian Islands call gold 'Samote'... It is said that there are large islands rich in Samote around here, and they are still to the south of us.
Or the southwest... In addition, we also saw a large chicken, a white thin dog, and several trees with strange branches... The natives here have larger wooden houses, which are very clean and tidy inside.
, there are coarsely woven cotton threads, and unmarried women have no clothes..."
On October 19, Columbus's fleet discovered and named Isabela Island (southwest of Crooked Island). Here, they "traded" with the Tainos several more times, but some Taino tribes had already begun to flee.
Forest. They hunted some iguanas near the forest, and learned the name of the big island "Cuba" from some Taíno people.
"God bless you! There is indeed a rich and huge island to the south of us, which is called 'Cuba' by the local natives! There is a big kingdom there, and there is a lot of Samote gold in the kingdom, and a lot of cotton.
And the big glass beads we got from the natives along the way did indeed come from there. It is said that there is a very big ship on that big island, and the natives said it is as big as our ship!…"
"The Lord is witness! The wise commander of the expedition has determined that the big island called Cuba is the 'Sipangu Japan'!... We are not prepared to live in this fragmented Indian Islands, among these poor and naked natives.
No more time wasted on me... We have to go directly to Japan in the south, which is only a hundred or two hundred kilometers away!..."
On October 24, Columbus's fleet finally set sail again from Isabela Island. This time, the fleet's course was adjusted due south, straight to the eastern part of Cuba's Snake Island, towards Sipan, which everyone has longed for.
