- Hehe, it¡¯s interesting that he actually fell in love with our genetic girl.
I really don¡¯t know what interesting things can happen after the union of aboriginal and genetic girl.
Zhao Hongyu was playing cards and thinking to himself.
At this time, the entire fleet arrived at the coast west of central America.
¡° San Francisco is still some distance away from Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mid-range goal.
But even so, it took Zhao Hongyu a month and a half.
For this reason, Zhao Hongyu kept complaining that it took too long.
Fortunately, he just complained about Wang Shan, and there were no Europeans around.
"Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu's complaints will definitely make Europeans vomit blood in anger.
You must know that the speed of Zhao Hongyu's fleet is already very fast.
?Starting from Manhattan along the east coast to the southernmost tip of America, and then around to the west again.
¡°If Europeans were to drive ships of this era, it would take more time for them to reach where Zhao Hongyu is.
Three months is definitely needed.
Zhao Hongyu has already shortened the time by half.
But even so, he was not satisfied.
¡°If such a thing were to be known to Europeans, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood at Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words.
Today, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s fleet is located in what will become western Mexico.
?Further north, that is the border of the United States in later generations.
Fortunately, this era is the seventeenth century, and there is no Mexico or the United States.
Borders do not exist.
In America now, apart from the indigenous Mayans and Indians, only the force led by Zhao Hongyu is the most powerful.
It can be said that if nothing happens, the entire America will belong to Zhao Hongyu.
"As for the indigenous people on the American continent who have not yet surrendered, Zhao Hongyu didn't take them seriously at all.
They are just uncivilized people. They are just primitive tribal aborigines.
With such tribes and natives, an imperial force of two thousand people can sweep them away, right?
It¡¯s just that the population under Zhao Hongyu¡¯s command is too small, so he can¡¯t take care of the indigenous people for the time being.
When the population under Zhao Hongyu increases, America will definitely belong to the Song Empire and Zhao Hongyu.
There is no suspense about this.
The fleet sailed slowly north along the western coast of Mexico, and saw many indigenous people on the shore along the way.
When they saw such a huge fleet, they were all very curious and shocked.
The coast of Mexico in this era was far less barren than in later generations.
The coastline is densely jungled. It's all high and dense tropical vegetation.
Zhao Hongyu was on the deck, observing from a distance with a telescope.
Fighting with indigenous people in such a dense tropical vegetation area is very disadvantageous for the Imperial Army.
But fortunately, this is Mexico, and Mexico in later generations was a big desert.
Although the vegetation around the coast seems lush, the hinterland is probably still a desert.
" Moreover, these indigenous people have crude weapons and no protection on their bodies.
" If they were fighting against the Imperial Army, their disadvantage would not be negligible.
Of course, if the imperial troops control this area in the future, they will inevitably have conflicts with these indigenous people.
By the time. The indigenous people on the Caribbean side have a place to use.
As long as there are those natives accompanying the army, if they want to fight in this area, they may not be able to defeat them.
Slowly put down the telescope in his hand. Zhao Hongyu turned around and looked at Wang Shan, who had been following him.
"Aren't the Spaniards bragging that they destroyed the Mayan Empire? Why are there so many indigenous people in this area?"
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips when he thought of the history described in the history books he had learned.
Wang Shan smiled: "It is true that the Mayan Empire collapsed. But the problem is that Spain exaggerated this matter a lot. So in the end it became that they destroyed the Mayan Empire. This is an exaggeration anyway."
Wang Shan is very clear about this.
"Oh, why do you seem to know so well?"
Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan¡¯s face with determination. As if he knew what was going on here.?So I became interested all of a sudden.
He also knows that Spaniards brag, but he doesn¡¯t understand the details.
After all, the Mayan Empire had a population of millions in its heyday, and there were hundreds of thousands of warriors alone.
You must know that indigenous people like Maya also have the same advantages.
That means as long as you are a man, you can fight.
Therefore, the number of hundreds of thousands of soldiers is definitely not an exaggeration.
On the contrary, when the Spaniards originally recorded their conquest of the Mayan Empire, they said they only used a force of five or six hundred men.
This made Zhao Hongyu unbelievable.
He has genetic people under his command, as well as relatively high-tech weapons.
But with this advantage, he didn¡¯t even dare to say that he could defeat the Mayan Empire, so why did the Spaniards say that?
This is very unreasonable.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu also knew one thing, that is, the Spaniards used underhanded tactics.
It is to throw those soldiers suffering from the plague to the Mayans.
The Mayans were infected with the plague, which then spread rapidly.
This resulted in the Mayans reducing their population and vitality without war.
But even so, the population base of the Maya is there.
A mere five to six hundred Spaniards cannot be the Mayans' opponents.
And the Mayans are playing at home, while the Spaniards are attacking away from home.
The Caribbean area is densely jungled, which is very disadvantageous for the Spaniards.
Even if there was a Spanish phalanx, it would be impossible to deploy it in the dense jungle.
But on the other hand, the Mayans could take advantage of the terrain and familiarity to constantly harass the Spaniards.
Poison arrow!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Blow dart!
trap!
These are absolutely effective measures.
Even if we can defeat one Spaniard at a time, the Spaniards cannot accept such a loss.
However, it was the Mayans who failed in the end.
This is a bit strange.
"Your Highness, when I was in Cayenne, I got in touch with the local indigenous people and inquired about this matter. From them, I learned a lot about the detailed process of this war more than a hundred years ago. I have to say that the Spanish It¡¯s more bullshit than it sounds. But it¡¯s really a success.¡±
It turns out that Wang Shan has already inquired about this matter, no wonder he is so sure.
After working on it for a long time, I have a good idea.
"Come on, tell me, what's going on?"
Zhao Hongyu felt itchy in his heart, he was very curious about this issue.
Since I have nothing to do now, Wang Shan doesn¡¯t mind telling Zhao Hongyu.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I¡¯m idle anyway, just think of it as a great time.
Emma, ??Sara, and Anais were playing cards not far away.
What we are playing is Landlords.
Since they learned this game from Zhao Hongyu, they immediately became obsessed with this kind of entertainment.
Every day they play happily from morning to night, which shows the depth of their infatuation.
so. Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan didn't have to worry about anyone coming to disturb them.
Farther away, on the deck, Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang also came out to bask in the sun and enjoy the sea breeze.
But they didn¡¯t mean to disturb me.
The sailors around are doing their own things. The sailor who was not on duty picked up the violin and guitar and sat aside, playing randomly.
Expressionless Guards soldiers, loyal guards guard the entrance to the captain's room.
Behind him, several imperial guards were setting the dining table. Milk tea and some delicious snacks were placed on it.
"In order to find gold, the Spaniards organized a legion of five to six hundred people and began to explore the hinterland of the Caribbean. And they did not know how powerful the Mayans were, but they only got some information from some friendly tribes . It¡¯s just that the Mayan Empire has a lot of warriors.¡±
Wangcai began to tell Zhao Hongyu the information he had obtained.
"However, the terrain and environment here in South America are completely different from those in continental Europe, and the climate is also different." Wang Shan leaned against the guardrail, "The rain forest is wet and muddy. There are also poisonous insects and beasts that appear from time to time. These are simply not something the Spaniards can deal with."
"So, many Spaniards at that timeThey were infected with malaria and typhoid fever, so their combat effectiveness was not very strong at all. "Wang Shan curled his lips and looked very disdainful towards the Spaniards. "The Mayans have very cruel activities, do you know about human sacrifice? ", Wang Shan asked.
Human sacrifice?
Although he didn¡¯t know why Wang Shan asked this, Zhao Hongyu nodded.
¡°I know, this is recorded in history and is very bloody and cruel, but the Mayans have been engaging in such activities.¡±, he replied.
After Wang Shan waited for Zhao Hongyu's response, he added: "Actually, it was a mistake for us to say they are Mayans. I call these people Incas." Then he waved his hand again, "But it doesn't matter, we are anyway. When it comes to relieving boredom, it doesn¡¯t have to be so rigorous.¡±
"Then, Wang Shan continued: "At that time, the Spanish had contact with the Mayans, that is, the Inca, but the Spanish did not please and suffered a lot. The Inca Empire was not a vegetarian, let alone fighting at home."
Zhao Hongyu nodded, he thought Wang Shan was right.
"Some Spaniards were captured in this way and became prisoners of the Inca. As for prisoners of war, the Incas usually took them back and used them as human sacrifices."
When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he knew that Wang Shan was about to get to the point.
"Oh, if I'm not wrong, some of the Spaniards captured by the Incas must have had typhoid fever or malaria, right?"
Zhao Hongyu also followed Wang Shan¡¯s example and leaned on the guardrail to make himself stand more easily. At the same time, he placed his right elbow on the railing of the guardrail.
Wang Shan nodded: "Yes, it is indeed like this. But the key to the destruction of the Incas is not this, this is just a small trigger." (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
