Columbus has been very comfortable recently, although he does not dare to go to Las Vegas to find Mao Meilang because of his physical weakness, but he is still very comfortable and stable in teaching a group of intelligent teenagers sailing knowledge at the captain's school.
To be honest, there are no regrets about getting mixed up with his status and having the title of the first discoverer in India. The only thing that upset him was that the Portuguese insisted that Vasco da Gama had discovered India first. As for why Columbus went back to Europe first? The Portuguese quibbled that da Gama had "visited many countries" in India, and that it took too long for Columbus to take the lead.
Columbus was very unhappy, so he decided to take advantage of Marin's opportunity to know the specific map, wait for his body to recover, and go out of the mountain again to discover the legendary China, so as to make a name for himself again.
However, Marin's plan seems to be to let Amerigo go go with him to discover Huaxia. This made Columbus a little upset, but there was nothing he could do.
Recently, Marin came up with a compromise - that is, to explore the China route, or let Columbus go. However, the naming rights of the Savage Continent were given to America.
In this way, Columbus received the honor of "the first person to discover China" for the right to explore China, and America obtained the right to name the wild continent. From now on, the Savage Continent was called the Americas......
So, Marin called Columbus back and discussed the matter with him......
In fact, Marin asked Columbus to explore the route of the Ming Dynasty this time, not by taking the Pacific route, but by taking the Malacca route. After all, the Pacific route is Marin's secret route to fortune. If you take this route, even if Columbus discovers the Ming Dynasty, it will not be announced to the public. Only the Malacca route can be announced to the public.
Moreover, on this voyage, Marin decided to pit Portugal hard......
How to pit? It's simple......
Columbus brought a few ships with him, the others being the 250-class armed merchant ships or the Hoffman-class battleships. However, with two more Portuguese Caravel sailboats.
What are these two sailboats for? Of course, it was used to frame Portugal......
Marin planned to let a group of sailors, disguised as Portuguese pirates, raise the flag of the King of Portugal. After arriving at the coast of Daming, let the sailors on two Caravel sailing ships land on the shore and plunder the place to create notoriety......
Wait for the Daming Naval Division to appear, and then let the Caravel galleons sink the two Daming Naval Division's warships with artillery......
In this way, the grudge between the "Portuguese" and the Ming Dynasty became greater.
After a while, Columbus led the Hoffmann-class battleship and the 250-class armed merchant ship to appear, with a Chinese interpreter, to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and identified it as the Portuguese ship, and told the Ming the Portuguese flag......
Later, the Portuguese really came to Daming. It is estimated that the first reaction of the Daming Sailor is to open fire......
And the confused Portuguese, even if they want to explain, they must also have a translator who understands Chinese. At that time, even if they find a route, they will not be accepted by the Ming Dynasty......
Thinking of this, Marin laughed and felt like a genius. In this way, Portugal estimates that it will not be able to achieve trade with the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Coupled with Europe's lack of understanding of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it may give birth to a brain-dead plan like King Philip II of Spain, who wants to conquer the Ming Dynasty with 10,000 or 20,000 people......
If Portugal really did this, Marin would definitely die of happiness. In this way, Portugal will not want to do business with the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps, when the time comes, he can send spies in Portugal to advocate the plan of "conquering the Ming Dynasty" and induce Portugal to make the decision to attack the Ming Dynasty?
……
After Columbus arrived, he was still a little unhappy when he heard Marin's arrangement. After all, the Savage Continent was discovered by itself, but it was named after Amerigo.
However, Ma Lin also said that if he obtained the naming rights of the Wild Continent, he would have to give up the opportunity to explore Huaxia, and he could only choose one of the two. Moreover, the exploration of China can be meritorious and can be rewarded. However, there is no credit for obtaining the naming rights of the Savage Continent.
In fact, Marin helped Columbus make a decision. After all, Columbus's utilitarianism was strong. Marin told Columbus that if he completed the task of exploring the Chinese route, he could promote Columbus from the title of baron to two ranks, to the point of a baron. The Baron is also called the Baron, and the fief is 2,000 eugrams, which is equivalent to the level of Adler. And the vice-baron is 1500 yugram arable land. From the baron, it was 1,000 eugrams, which is the current title of Columbus.
The doubling of land and income, coupled with the honor of being the first to discover, Columbus finally got tempted and chose to explore the Chinese route, giving up the naming rights of the wild continent.
You know, under Marin's command, it's not too easy to get credit for this kind of exploration route. Basically, it's just a rough map to find the exact coordinates. For a great navigator like Columbus, it was simply a credit giveaway. So, faced with the temptation of knighthood promotion and the honor of being the first discoverer, Columbus succumbed. Although, he knew, the first person to discover India and China could have been the ascetic teacher named "Einstein" in Marin. However, that ascetic was indifferent to fame and fortune, and it was impossible for him to jump out and compete with him for this honor. Therefore, he could confidently and shamelessly claim to be the first discoverer......
After seeing that Columbus finally gave up the naming rights of the Wild Continent, Marin was actually relieved.
According to the habit of his previous life, he was still more accustomed to calling the Savage Continent America. Therefore, he originally wanted to give America a chance to keep the name of America still.
It's just that it depends on what Columbus meant. After all, America was discovered by Columbus. Moreover, Columbus was also Marin's number one navigator general. If the wild continent is not named Columbus, but the Americas are renamed, Columbus will certainly not be happy.
However, Marin didn't want the Americas to be renamed Columbus by such a strange name. In the future, will we call the Americas the Columbia Continent - well, that sounds strange......
Therefore, Marin thought about it and decided to use the credit of exploring the Chinese route to tempt Columbus to give up the naming rights of the Americas. He knew Columbus's weakness, that is, he was too utilitarian.
Therefore, he gave two choices - if he chose to explore the Huaxia route, because there was a general map of Marin, the difficulty of obtaining credit and honor was very low, and it was basically to give credit.
And choosing the naming rights of the Savage Continent, although it earned fame, it did not have any benefits. As a result, Columbus, who had a strong utilitarian spirit, really chose to explore the Chinese route.
In this way, Marin can also logically name the name of the Savage Continent after Amerigo.
As for Americago's opinion? He was originally a junior in front of Columbus, and his fame was not as loud as Columbus. Giving him the right to name a new continent is definitely enough for him to be happy, can he still be dissatisfied?
In this way, with Marin's skillful intervention, America was finally called America......
