Chapter 1,194 At the end of 1492 AD, the Queen will care about me...
"Partners witnessed and blessed by the Lord? Collate the report to the Queen together?... Share the honor of the new route, and lead the next voyage together?..."
The faint smell of tobacco wafted from outside the Taíno huts, which naturally made people feel relaxed. In the hut, Columbus listened to the "ecstasy soup" poured by De La Cosa and the gentle and bewitching "aristocratic accent".
I was a little confused for a moment, and even nodded in agreement unconsciously.
But when Columbus heard the last word about "sharing the honor of discovering a new sea route", it was like a "keyword" that was not offensive was suddenly triggered in his mind. His eyes widened in an instant and he woke up! He was furious and suddenly jumped out of the grass.
He stood up on the bed, stared at Dracosa, and cursed like a bully.
"Diamine! Cazzo! Hijo de puta! It's me! It was I who pointed out the plan to sail west, and it was I who convinced the great queen! It was I who led you, a group of immature idiots, to sail five thousand miles west.
Over many kilometers, we discovered the fertile India and Japan, and discovered a new route to the East!!..."
"The honor of discovering the new sea route is mine, mine! My great name Columbus will always be written in the heroic epics and songs! ... And you fools who betrayed me and held me back will all become Judas
Such a sinner who rebels against God!!…”
"Dracosa, you are just a subordinate who betrayed me, and you still want to trick me? Bah! ... You are a poisonous snake born from the butt of a ewe, and you actually want to take away the power of my commander?! Bah! ... I am Columbus
, but the queen personally conferred the title of admiral, commander of the kingdom's fleet, and governor of all the newly discovered lands! And you are just a fart!... Ugh! You dare to hit me? Ah!!..."
Columbus let out a scream and was kicked hard by De La Cosa. He was kicked directly to the corner of the hut and hit the wall hard. Then, a sharp and cold stabbing sword was pressed heavily on his neck, even
Cut his skin!
"Jorder! Columbus, don't make me kill you!"
De La Cosa looked fierce, bared his teeth, and had a ferocious face. At this moment, he rarely lost his composure and even cursed. For a conspirator like him who is good at verbal inducement and loves to confuse people, the most annoying thing is Columbus.
This kind of stubbornness that has no idea about life and death, is stubborn, but is not stupid! It is like a highly skilled thief who uses extremely sophisticated means to steal, but encounters a man who has no skills and only knows how to hold a knife.
Like a shouting robber...
"Co?o! I am a good person with a good temper, but my patience has its limits! Although I don't like killing people, I like to cooperate with friends... But if I really encounter someone who can't make sense and can't cooperate, then I have no choice but to take action.
Got it!…”
"Merda!...Dela Cosa, you are a shitty good person, you fucking betrayed me! Haha! I can see it, you don't want to kill me...No, you don't dare to kill me! It's still useful for you to keep me, you
You want to keep me to see the queen, canonize me personally, and trust my queen!...Ugh! Ahhh!..."
"Ha! Commander Columbus, I really don't want to make it so ugly! But you have to be a tough-talking donkey who will remember the pain but not the fight... Think about it from another angle! What would you do if our identities were swapped?
Do it? I'm afraid you would have killed me long ago, right?... You see, if I don't kill you, I will cooperate with you well, and even prepare you to return to Madrid to see the Queen as the commander... Am I not a good person? I, he
Mom is a saint blessed by God!…”
De La Cosa narrowed his eyes viciously and uttered fierce and vulgar threats, like a poisonous snake about to bite. He looked coldly, looking down at Columbus, who was curled up in pain, kneeling on the straw bed, and could no longer speak.
, threatened again in a low voice.
"Columbus, if you stay alive and cooperate with me and listen to me, it will be good for both of us! And if I take action and make you fall ill and die, and throw your body into the sea... there will be no one on the whole ship.
I discovered the strangeness of your death!… And there is not a single person in the Kingdom of Castile who will care about your life or death, and will accept even the slightest injustice for you!…”
"No! The female... queen... will... care... about me!..."
"What did you say? Does the Queen care about you?...Aha! I'm laughing so hard that I can't help but laugh!...I'll tell you the truth! At the beginning, the Queen didn't like your ridiculous sailing plan at all!...It's Fernando
King, I think you can give it a try. It was the king who took a fancy to your plan and convinced the queen!…"
Having said this, De La Cosa raised the corner of his mouth and mocked Columbus mercilessly, as if he wanted to break the other's last stubbornness and belief.
"Everyone in the Castilian court knows that your title of admiral is just a joke and you cannot command any of the kingdom's navy...and you are just a living sign for other navigators!...The royal family wants
Expanding overseas, looking for truly capable navigators, this is why you, this idiot, was raised high... The royal family used a hundred gold coins to buy you, this stubborn donkey, to show off to those really good horses.
!…”
"Why don't Brother Pinzon listen to you? Because they are King Fernando's men and the minister of finance! Why did I bring the big ship to join the exploration? Because I am the queen's navigator, and Archbishop Talavera personally suggested it.
!...In the exploration fleet, no captain of the fleet will really regard you as a bullshit commander! Only those ignorant low-level sailors will be deceived by your title of commander!...
And what about you? The son of a merchant from an Italian city-state, who are you following? You are not following anyone! I can’t believe that you actually refused the Archbishop’s solicitation and concocted a discovery agreement to seek death on your own... You are just not confident.
A fool who is overly greedy and considers himself greater than the adults in the court!..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Aha! A fool like you who doesn't know how to live or die should have wasted his whole life, being dismissed by the adults in the palace and treated as mud under his feet! ...
It’s only the merciful Lord who favored you that you actually discovered this strange island and continent deep in the Atlantic Ocean!... Damn it! Who knows where the hell is this? Such an ignorant and barbaric country without even clothes.
People, only ghosts believe it’s India!…”
After depressing these words in his heart for a long time, De La Cosa finally finished shouting happily, and he felt a lot of refreshment all over his body. He sneered, looking at Columbus, whose face was full of pain and disbelief, and whose faith was almost broken,
Finally left an ultimatum.
"Columbus, I will give you the last seven days! I will see you again after the New Year's voyage sets off!..."
"Be smart! Put down your ridiculous, useless identity as commander, and don't be stubborn until death! Otherwise, I really can only... kill you and feed you to the fishes!..."
After saying that, De La Cosa shook his head, turned and left with his rapier in hand. In the hut, only Columbus was left who seemed to have lost his soul, with a blank look on his face, and his soul was more painful than his body.
"No...this is not true!...I...I was appointed by the Queen herself...Admiral...No...No!..."
In the silent hut, there was no response, only the sacred tablets worshiped by the Taíno people. And a few fluttering Spanish words floated in from the outside, like a distant and unreal future...
"Boss, how are you?..."
"Pedro, the commander is almost healed, we can no longer stay in the native village!"
"Ah? What do you mean?..."
"Tonight, take a reliable sailor... take him to the ship, find the smallest storage room on the lowest deck, and lock the door..."
"Ah this? The stuffy and hot bottom floor, the storage room where you can't even see the sun?..."
"What? Pedro, you can't bear it?..."
"No, no, no! I listen to you in everything, boss! I will make arrangements right now to find a sailor who has a grudge against him and watch him closely!..."
"Well... the food on the ship is limited, and we need to prepare for the return journey! The commander's injury is almost healed. If you eat too much, you will be tormented, which is not conducive to recovery..."
"Boss, what do you mean? The commander's rations will be halved?..."
“halved?…”
Under the slanting sunlight, De La Cosa smiled slightly. He turned his head and glanced at the Taíno's small hut, as if he were looking at an overly spacious prison.
"There are too many! God bless you! Just a quarter! As long as you don't starve to death..."
