Chapter 1784 - Sending Reinforcements to the Island of Haiti

To tell the truth, Ma Lin felt that there was an evil trend in China in the 80s and 90s of the 20th century. The content of the evil wind is that "the moon in a foreign country is rounder than in China" and "everything in a foreign country is better". The most outrageous thing is that there is actually a group of second-class people who are trying to find a way to certify that the Chinese are "inferior races".

For example, the national football team, because football is not played well, there are brain-dead people who deduce that Chinese people have no athletic talent. But where did so many championships other than football go? Eaten by a dog?

These are actually not important, the most important thing is that in that era, a number of brain-dead educational ideas were introduced. The most typical is "personality education". This so-called "advanced education concept" introduced by a group of licking dogs from Lao Mei has poisoned China for decades.

Since the post-80s, it has begun to poison. Because of the lack of beatings, and even being encouraged to "individuality", brain damage began to breed. The post-80s generation is probably the first batch, although it has been criticized, but the impact is not too big. In the post-90s generation, this kind of educational thinking of pit people broke out......

People complained at first, but after the 00s, everyone was too lazy to complain......

It's not the children's fault, it's the disaster brought by the so-called "advanced educational concepts" that the group of licking dogs brought from Lao Mei at the beginning. Newspapers and television are blowing every day, and everyone is following suit. And then, that's it......

In fact, stick education has been popular in China for thousands of years, and there is nothing wrong with it. Even, ancient Chinese talents and culture flourished. Only science and technology, because of the grievances between Confucianism and Mohists, have been innocently suppressed. Otherwise, if it weren't for this problem, how would the world's science and technology allow other countries to jump?

Things are so wonderful, when Mozi founded the Mohist school, because he couldn't get used to some Confucian things, he sprayed it. But spraying people is cool for a while, and the crematorium of the younger generations ......

The Confucian lineage was recorded in a small book at that time, and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exalted Confucianism, after the Confucian scholars raised their heads, they immediately pressed the Mo family hard to rub on the ground, and later specially listed the craftsman as inferior......

You must know that in the Great Qin Empire, Mohist craftsmen are very important. After Confucianism turned over, because of the mouth cannon of the Mohists back then, they directly denounced the affairs of craftsmen as "strange and obscene skills" and denied their social value. Then, the Mo faction gradually disappeared......

Therefore, this matter is purely the Mo family's "spraying people for a while, and the whole crematorium". This is secondary, the most important thing is that it has affected the development of Huaxia Technology!

Anyway, Mozi, you are a big engineer, mixed with Mao's politics? Isn't it good to do scientific research with peace of mind? had to spray people, and as a result, the entire Huaxia engineers were affected and reduced to inferior people......

Then, later, foreigners were more developed in science and technology than Huaxia, and they turned around and beat Huaxia. This dozen has knocked out all the kneecaps of people, and even the strange theory of "human race is not good" has been sorted out......

……

In fact, in the 16th century, the Ming Dynasty had the best physical fitness in the world. Its average height is even higher than that of Europe.

Even, the Ming Dynasty people of this era were more white than Europeans, and their skin was fairer......

Of course, this is not to say that Europeans in this era are black. Rather, Europeans in this era were not used to bathing, and they looked dark and dirty. The people of the Ming Dynasty often used large wooden barrels to take a bath, and Ximen Aqing once peeked at the Pan family Alian bathing (the author was a scholar of the Ming Dynasty...... Because of frequent bathing, the people of the Ming Dynasty certainly looked white. But in reality, Europeans are white......

Under the management of Ma Lin, Beihai promoted hot baths, and there was a scene of white skin and beautiful women across the country. In addition, Marin also promoted sunhats throughout the North Sea Kingdom.

Specifically, it was popular for men to wear the kind of straw hats worn by the western cowboys of later generations to block the sun and avoid the face being too tanned.

The same goes for women, with wide-brimmed hats. However, the material is made of cloth, and it comes in various colors, and it is embroidered, which looks beautiful.

Of course, it is only the ladies of wealthy families who wear such wide-brimmed sunshade hats. The style of these hats, some of which was later worn by ladies in the 19th century, was also "designed" (copied) by Marin. As for ordinary working women, they actually wear hats similar to men's cowboy straw hats. At most, the brim is wider to provide more shade from the sun and avoid tanning.

The final result is that the women of Beihai Country are all whiter and more beautiful.

This year is not like the aesthetics of Europe and the United States in later generations, and they will not feel that they look good with a tan, but like Huaxia, they also take white as beauty. Whoever looks black will be contemptuously called "Moorish" and despised in all sorts of ways.

In fact, Marin also found it quite funny in later generations, for example, there are black people on the list of some global "100 beautiful" and "100 handsome". For example, on the list of 100 handsome people in the United States, there is Dwayne Johnson......

Marin thinks it's, where is Johnson Shuai? Only the muscles are bigger...... The old blacks' dark faces can't see the details clearly, how can you see that they are handsome? Even before Marin crossed, he had only heard of whitening, but he had never heard of tanning...... In fact, tanning is also easy, just rub some coal on your face...... Marin didn't discriminate or anything, but he felt that white was beautiful for two lifetimes. Even if he can't get used to the little fresh meat who has no acting skills and no works in later generations, he has to admit that they are indeed handsome. As for the black guys...... Well, Lao Mei will be elected, after all, there are many blacks and many votes, so they must vote for their own people......

……

Marin thought about it, and it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1515. Ma Lin ate the moon cakes made by the imperial chef imported from the Ming Dynasty, and his imagination was ......

But after admiring the moon and eating moon cakes, Marin remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to send reinforcements to the island of Haiti......

Why is there an accident on the island of Haiti? It turned out that when McCas sent people to capture livestock, he clashed with the locals.

Originally, when Mercas sent people to round up the fast-running horses and the fierce-looking cattle with two horns, the local natives had no objection. Anyway, that's not what they're hunting for.

The locals also have no opinion on rounding up wild boars, and they do not dare to provoke wild boars. However, when the sheep were rounded up, the locals stopped doing it......

Although the local Taíno people also have agriculture, they also have fishing and hunting activities. They had long regarded the goats abandoned by the Spaniards as their prey resources, so how could they tolerate Mercas sending people to round them up? So, there was a conflict between the two sides......

At the beginning of the conflict, it was naturally the colonial army that had the upper hand. After all, the weapons and equipment of both sides are not at the same level. The 200 expatriate troops of the colonial army easily defeated eight or nine hundred natives from several nearby villages.

However, it also angered the locals. Led by a local indigenous leader named Carlos, dozens of local villages banded together and dispatched more than 3,000 fighters to attack the round-up team, causing the round-up team to lose more than 40 of its 200 people.

The remaining members of the round-up team then fled into the castle of Santo Domingo to resist the siege of the locals.

Although they successfully repelled the enemy siege, McCass and his gang did not dare to leave the castle. After all, there are many people on the other side......

This local chief, Carlos, was originally a young man who served the Spaniards when the Spanish colonized the island of Haiti in 1492. Because of his cleverness, he was given the name Carlos by the Spanish priest, and learned Spanish, as well as a lot of skills and knowledge of the colonists.

For example, this person will make bows and arrows. Of course, the Indians would have made bows and arrows, but they were mostly earthened bows and arrows with little power. The craftsmen of Carlos and Santo Domingo had specialized in making the more powerful European recurve bows.

Therefore, in this conflict, 500 of the enemy's 3,000 indigenous warriors used European-style recurve bows, causing huge casualties to the round-up team. Otherwise, the indigenous warriors, with their earthen bows and arrows with a range far inferior to that of muskets, would not have been able to suppress the round-up party at all.

Because of the appearance of this indigenous man named Carlos, who had served the Spanish colonists in Santo Domingo for several years, the colonists in Santo Domingo did not dare to go out. At the same time, Marin was asked to support a number of troops and weapons and equipment for the confrontation with the local natives. Among them, the most important is the armor that resists the bows and arrows of the natives......

The natives had a European-style recurve bow, so they could not use ordinary wood chip armor to resist it, and had to use more advanced armor. In addition, a little more troops were needed to suppress the local resistance and clear the way for colonization.

"Rainforest warfare?" Marin thought about it for a while, and finally decided to send 500 soldiers who were proficient in jungle warfare, and transfer 500 sets of rhinoceros leather armor to use against the natives' recurve bow......
