Across the Atlantic

On September 20th, 2009, Magellan set out with a fleet of five ships and 270 sailors. The fleet sailed in the Atlantic for 70 days and arrived at the coast of Brazil on129 October. Because this is Portuguese territory, Magellan told the crew to be careful not to be discovered by the Portuguese, because according to the Todd silas Treaty signed by both sides in 1494, no one is allowed to enter and occupy the territory divided by the other side. In the second year of 65438+ 10/0, the fleet came to the endless big bay. The crew thought that when they reached the end of America, they could smoothly enter the new ocean, but after on-the-spot investigation, it was only an estuary, which is now the La Plata River in Uruguay.

At the end of March, South America entered the winter, so Magellan led the fleet into San Juan Port to prepare for the winter. The crew were very depressed because of the cold weather and food shortage. There was a rebellion among the crew, and the three captains jointly opposed Magellan, disobeyed Magellan's orders and ordered Magellan to negotiate. Magellan agreed to negotiate on the pretext of sending a messenger, and took the opportunity to assassinate the rebellious captain official.

Soon, Magellan found a large number of seabirds, fish and fresh water in San Juan Port, and the diet problem was finally solved. Magellan also found that there were also local aborigines nearby, who were tall and dressed in animal skins; Their shoes are also very special. They put wet skin on their feet up to their knees. Wear a pair of big leather boots outside in rainy and snowy days. Magellan called them "bigfoot", arrested two bigfoot by deception, and gave them fetters and handcuffs as gifts to the Spanish king.

In the spring of August, Magellan led the fleet to move on.
