What are Magellan's background stories?

Magellan, 1480, was born in a declining aristocratic family in northern Portugal. Children from aristocratic families can enter the palace. /kloc-when he was 0/0 years old, he was sent to the palace with his brother. 1492, because of her cleverness, was deeply loved by the queen and was chosen as the maid of the queen. The excellent learning conditions in the palace enabled Magellan to receive a formal education from an early age.

At that time, the king and queen liked to travel around, and this lifestyle also allowed young Magellan to appreciate the surrounding scenery and gain a lot of knowledge.

1496, 16-year-old Magellan entered the national maritime office. The Prince Henry actively advocated voyage, which pushed the Portuguese fleet southward along the African coast. 1497, Da Gama bypassed the Cape of Good Hope and opened up a new direct air route to India, thus becoming a hero. Magellan was deeply encouraged by the news, and he was bent on sailing in the East in search of gold in order to gain fame and wealth like Da Gama. He applied for joining the expedition many times, but failed, so he focused on his studies. The maritime office is like a secret maritime school. He saw many secret reports of expeditions, learned a lot of navigation knowledge and the latest geographical views at that time, and gradually became familiar with the new routes to India, which became the knowledge base for his later voyage around the world.

1505, 25-year-old Magellan finally got the chance to join the expedition. He was happy, but he didn't know that this was the beginning of his unfortunate experience. In order to continue to gain the wealth of the East, the Portuguese royal family organized a large-scale expedition to India. Magellan, as an ordinary sailor, participated in this bloody colonial conquest war.

Magellan risked his life to conquer India and made great contributions to the colonial rulers. Due to many serious injuries, Magellan decided to bid farewell to smoke-filled India forever. However, in the spring of 15 10, the ship hit the rocks and sank in Ba Schon sandbar not far from the Indian coast, and was stranded in India. Soon, he was promoted to captain and took part in the battle to conquer Goa, India and the expedition to Malacca. In the Battle of Malacca, Magellan saved the life of Xie Lan, a Frenchman, and they became friends who never looked back. Later, he went to the Malay archipelago. 15 13 years, Magellan finally returned to Lisbon. He hoped that his sufferings and misfortunes in the East would be rewarded, especially the great changes in Lisbon.

But after eight years of arduous expedition and struggle, the only thing that made him masturbate was a captain's position and brought back a loyal Malaysian slave. In Lisbon, he didn't get the favor of the king. After some warm hospitality, he got the position of a court janitor. Magellan was so angry that he only stayed in Lisbon for two days and then went home. After eight years away, my hometown is still poor and has not changed at all. People are not interested in his oriental knowledge, but only care about the present. His empty hands not only did not bring happiness to his family, but also opened his mouth, adding to the burden and difficulties.

Out of poverty, he returned to Lisbon and soon volunteered for an expedition to Morocco. In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, he was injured again, and his left foot could no longer bend and stretch, becoming a lifelong disability. After the injury, Magellan stayed in the rear to manage the warehouse, but he was forced to return to Lisbon on suspicion of theft. But some people accused him of being a deserter and almost became the object of trial.

15 16, Magellan, limping, knelt before the king and asked for an increase in pension to solve his financial difficulties, but was rejected. 36-year-old Magellan, suffering from poverty and disease, was so neglected that he felt very humiliated and miserable. Although Magellan was laughed at by the Portuguese king, he had to go this way in order to realize his grand plan. Unfortunately, the king was very satisfied with the new navigation route opened by Da Gama, and constantly plundered wealth from India to acquire more colonies, but he was not confident in the benefits that the navigation achievements of this new plan could bring. Besides, because Portugal and Spain competed for colonies, a treaty was signed in 1494, which stipulated a "papal meridian", with Portugal's sphere of influence in the east and Spain's control in the west. In this way, the whole of Africa and Asia have a large area of land to plunder within Portugal's sphere of influence, and there is no need to sail west to cause disputes. Therefore, his plan to sail west was rejected by the king.
