One thousand one hundred and fifty-one books from the 'Khitan', the East dreamed of by Columbus!
"Hey! These strange pictures, these square characters...could this be a book written by an Indian or a Japanese?..."
"Ah, no! I remembered it! Marco Polo once said that the writings of the Khitan and Seris are exactly square!... God bless! This must be the writing of the Khitan! We have indeed arrived in the east!..."
"Ahaha! I, Columbus, the outstanding, wise, and brave commander of the expeditionary force! I am the first person to arrive in the East and open up a new sea route!...Ahaha! Who dares to doubt me? This is India and Japan,
This book is a testimony! These natives are Orientals!..."
The villages destroyed by the Tainos burned in raging flames. The corpses of the villagers who were hacked to death and stabbed to death by the sailors were stacked and burned in the fire. Before the fire that destroyed everything, on the shore where three sea ships were anchored
, Columbus, the commander of the expeditionary force, was holding high the blood-stained "Ali Sutra" in his hand, dancing with joy and shouting excitedly!
"O Lord! The rich Khitan and Seris are indeed here, indeed so close!...Ah! How could you ignorant fools have reached the East without me, who is brave, fearless, wise and resolute?
?!...Ah! Praise my Father in heaven! He has blessed me to come here, and He has given me the wealth of the East!!..."
The fire ignited and black smoke rose, devouring the bodies of the dead and enchanting the hearts of the living. Hearing Columbus's ecstatic announcement, the sailors on the three ships looked at each other and their voices couldn't stop becoming noisy.
"Ah? These natives without clothes... are they the legendary Khitan people who drink milk and honey every day?..."
"Shit! We haven't arrived yet!... This is just... uh... ancient Japan in Sipan before Khitan?... Or... what about India?..."
"Lord! That scary square book is really... some kind of Khitan book?..."
"Yes! It doesn't look fake! Look at Columbus...Commander's excitement! Look at Clerk Rodrigo!...He's already kneeling on the ground excitedly, crying like an orgasming girl. He's so excited.
fainted!…”
"Ah! Then let's go quickly! Find that Khitan quickly! ... Such a rich place, if we can grab a handful, that bright gold! ..."
"Co?o! You know nothing! The thing that the Khitans have in abundance is not gold, but that...silk! porcelain!...each one is more expensive than gold!..."
The flames roared, turning into mysterious smoke clouds, which seemed like a harbinger of fate. Soon, the ghostly screams and wolf howls of Castilian sailors could be heard on the beach on the shore. They were like a group of excited and excited people.
The wolf smelled the most tender lamb flesh!…
“Praise the Lord! Praise my most holy King and Queen! I pray to you that this is the day of the Lord’s manifestation and blessing!…”
"O Lord! This is really the East, really the rich East!...Blessed Mother! We will all get rich, everyone will get rich!..."
"Ho! Get rich! Grab the gold!...And silk and porcelain!..."
Crazy greed and desire appeared on everyone's face. The cry from the heart resounded throughout the sea, sky and coast! At this moment, even the dullest sailor knew the wealth of the East in Columbus's constant shouting.
and abundance!
At the end of the 15th century, what does "the East" mean in the eyes of Europeans?
A piece of silk from Seris is worth ten times its weight in gold coins. Even if Columbus owed a huge debt of 2,000 ducats, he could completely pay it off with only ten exquisite silk clothes! And a piece from
As long as oriental porcelain vases can be transported to European ports for sale, a sailor on the ship can retire and live the rest of his life with no worries about food and drink!…
This is the new route, flowing with endless wealth! And in the face of such astonishing and possible wealth, everyone in the fleet is like a chicken blood, and even the eyes are shining with greed!…
"Quick! Raise the sails! Go to sea! Continue eastward!...Look for the big city of the natives and trade their gold!...Then find out the locations of Khitan and Seris from the native people here!...O Lord! We must find them
Khitan people!…”
The sails were full, and ambitions were running like wild dogs. The Castilian fleet flew eastward at high speed, faster than all the Taino messengers! And Columbus was once again hunched over in the captain's cabin, desperately writing in his diary. He
Praising the Lord and the Queen, boasting about his wisdom and bravery, he also madly cursed the other two competing ships!
"Vaffanculo! Damn the Pinson brothers! These two greedy idiots actually dare to rob the plundered loot with the heroic commander of the expeditionary force! Even with thirty of their men, they want to share half of the property?...Ha! They
It’s a dream! Mine! It’s all mine!…I am the commander of the expeditionary force! Even if I meet the Khitan people, the silk and porcelain are all mine! They don’t belong to those two idiots!…”
"Merda! Damn it! Damn those two caravels, they are faster than my ship!...I saw their greedy eyes, like wild dogs with red eyes that eat shit!...Do they want to leave me and go on their own?
Trading with the Khitans?... Damn it!..."
"O Lord! I can't even imagine, I can't imagine! When I bring the news of the discovery of Khitan back to the Kingdom of Castile and back to the world of God, what a sensation and shock it will be!...Haha
! The fat-headed Portuguese navigation scholars will definitely stuff their heads into the ewe’s butt in shame and never dare to raise their heads to look at me again! ...Haha! The proud King Joao II of Portugal will also regret it to the point of bursting into tears.
, I regret missing such a great exploration captain like me, Admiral!…”
"Praise the Lord! Only the divine and beautiful Queen Isabella! Only she knows my talent like a wise man and my bravery like a knight!...Ah! I have found a new route to Khitan, can I be as captured as I am?
Like a pagan sultan, summoned by the queen at night?...Ah! When I return to my hometown in the Apennines, I will be the guest of all the great nobles!..."
At this moment, endless longings and endless imaginations were racing through Columbus's heart, faster than the roaring sea wind!
This is the "charm" of the East, and this is the "value" of the East. In this gilded era of the Renaissance, "the East" is the most dreamy "opera" among the Italian city-states! A new route to the East,
It is the "gilded stage" that can conquer all nobles and conquer all kings. And the exploring captain who discovers new routes will be the well-deserved protagonist of this stage opera, and the "voyage" that has made countless young ladies and ladies excited.
hero"!
"Brother-in-law! Commander!..."
In the sweetest dream of the commander of the expeditionary force, the newly promoted boatswain Alana hurried over. He knocked on the wooden door "bang bang", waking up the sleeping and drooling Columbus.
"Merda! Damn it! Alana, what are you screaming about?! I just dreamed of the holy queen...cough!..."
"Ah? Commander? Queen?..."
Alana rubbed his head and looked at his brother-in-law who was getting angry and holding the sword, and was confused. Then he came back to his senses, pointed to the south, pointed to the newly emerged estuary on the coast, and shouted excitedly
.
"God bless you! Look to the south! To the south!...There is another river mouth there, and there is also a large native village!..."
