Fanwaijuan, where should we cross? 139, Magellan and Pizarro (below)

139. Magellan and Pizarro (the second part) are just as famous as "Aztec Empire Terminator" Hernan Cortez in history. Only 18 Spanish soldiers crossed the sea from Panama to the south and easily destroyed the legendary conqueror of the Inca Empire with a population of 15 million. But in this time and space, Pizarro seems to have temporarily changed his most eager goal to conquer ... So he stood beside Magellan and watched the coastline of Hope Harbor and the fireworks rising in Ran Ran. "... Hehe, this port is really a beautiful place, isn't it, General?" After watching the scenery around Hope Harbor, Pizarro turned to Magellan with a smile. At this time, Pizarro is only in his forties, but his appearance is obviously older than his actual age. At first glance, it seems that the forehead of the elderly man is full of wrinkles, and the long curly red-brown Se beard is also mixed with a lot of silver. Magellan, who was self-reliant, turned his head slightly with disdain and glanced at Pizarro, who was relatively humble, but then hid his emotions well-after more than 2, Caspian voyages across the Atlantic and around South America and a reckless defeat in the Inca Empire, his expedition had only two ships and more than 6 people left. Not far from Panama Colony, Pizarro, who was theoretically Magellan's subordinate, had 2 people and three ships. Obviously, even for these precious troops, Magellan must try to be polite to Pizarro. What's more, as Pizarro said, the scenery of this harbor is really good-the mountains in the distance are covered with lush green Se forests, and the seaside is beautiful and dazzling white Se beaches and graceful coconut trees swaying in the wind. The neat cultivated land and the patchwork huts, together with the smoke floating in the wind, look quite idyllic. The beautiful scenery and fresh air made Magellan feel very happy, but his rational thinking made him quite lost. "... alas, the scenery is really good ... it's a pity that the city looks too shabby from the outside. It feels like a big village. Most of the things you can see from the boat are huts, and there are not even a few decent stone houses, let alone splendid palaces and temples ..." Magellan rubbed his eyes somewhat disappointedly and sighed at Pizarro. "... In my eyes, this port is not only inferior to the Tongbesport I saw in the Inca Empire, but even far less than the place where we just stopped and rested, that is, the Mayan Teppert. "... it's true! General, at least the indigenous vendors I have dealt with and the Mayans in Wanke City, Teppert all said so. Moreover, the Mayan army tried to attack this port a year ago, but it failed. " Pizarro immediately replied firmly, "... in fact, we bought some silk, porcelain and other odds and ends from several Indian traders as early as chūn days in 1519. Governor Pedro Arias and I were very surprised by the j Ο ng ingenious goods that these indigenous people could not produce at all. After inquiring about the origin of these things, we decided to organize an expedition fleet to the north to find the legendary rich city. But at that time, we had only a few rowing boats in the south sea, and we couldn't get out of the open sea at all. The big ships that had been built were rotten. In order to explore the far north, the Governor had to mobilize the manpower and material resources of the whole colony to cut down trees, forge nails, collect grease, canvas and cables. It took us a long time to build three new ships on the beach in the south of Panama ... "Speaking of which, he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders ... General, you should also know that there is a land that is not narrow between the south and the north of Panama. It's impossible for us to carry the fleet floating in the Atlantic over the mountains here ... ""... indeed! Alas! The fact that the emperor didn't cut a strait in Panama when he created the world is really inconvenient for us! After all, our financial and material resources are limited, and we can't mobilize tens of thousands of coolies to pull the warships across the land to attack Constantinople at once ... "Magellan stroked his beard portentously and casually mentioned an allusion that happened more than half a century ago, but when he looked back at Pizarro's blank face, he suddenly felt a little disappointed and had to change the subject hastily." ... er, so your three ships were just completed when I arrived in Panama, right? " "... yes, it was less than a month before they were launched when you arrived." Pizarro nodded and replied with some sighs at the same time. "... we could have raised 6 people in Panama, but there were not enough ships to accommodate only 2 people at present ..." "... it's best not to be careless, Mr. Pizarro! After all, we don't know anything about this place and there are less than 3 people in total! If China people really haunt here, their fighting capacity will definitely be far better than those indigenous people who wear grass skirts. Don't judge the city's weak defense simply by what you see on the surface! Perhaps their fleet is hidden in a fjord that we have not yet discovered! " Hearing Pizarro's arrogant words, Magellan will quickly open his mouth and warn-the fiasco that was almost completely annihilated in the Inca Empire not long ago obviously left a big psychological Y and N shadow on the admiral. What's more, as a Portuguese, Magellan always thinks that the Spanish fleet is much worse than the Portuguese fleet in the real naval fleet battle-in order to monopolize the spice trade routes in the East, the Portuguese must fight with the Egyptian fleet, Indian armed maritime merchants, Arabian pirates, Malacca navy and even Daming Navy for years, and the artillery bombardment, landing and landing raids and other "high-tech" hard battles one after another. The Spanish fleet is just a bunch of transport ships, and they can only meet indigenous canoes in the New World. In addition, the fleet under his command at this time is not a disciplined regular navy, but a bunch of rabble who board at their own expense. Therefore, Magellan is not optimistic about the strategy of military conquest-but the problem is that he can't beat Pizarro, who is outnumbered. Pizarro casually replied at the same time, glancing back at the back "... what's more, our strength is not thin-don't forget that we still have the indigenous allies of Teppert Wanke City! Dear General! " As far as his eyes can see, boats and ocean rafts with simple shapes are undulating in the waves, full of fully armed Mayan warriors, following behind the Spanish fleet like ants, eyeing the coast of Hope Harbor ...............................................................................................................................
