If it had been replaced, Marin would not have dared to send troops to the tropics casually, lest it cause personnel to be unaccustomed to the soil and water, or even non-combat attrition.

However, since Kong Tai transported the betel nut back from Daming, everything has been different. Although there is a risk of oral cancer from betel nut chewing, it has to be overdosed, and it is actually fine. Moreover, those soldiers sent to the colonies did not stay for life, but were transferred back after a few years. Or, move somewhere else.

Marin coveted the island of Haiti mainly because of its large population. After all, that's a million people, how much land can be planted......

In fact, Marin had such a plan - to capture a group of Taítans from the island of Haiti and send them to the New York colony to become serfs!

The Taíno were not as fierce as the Indians in the jungles of North America and were relatively mild. This accident was mainly due to an indigenous man named Carlos who had learned Spanish craftsmanship and army command methods. Without this person, the local indigenous people would simply be a plate of scattered sand and would not be able to achieve the climate.

Moreover, these Tyrans were not very adapted to farming life like those black slaves. The Taíno people on the island of Haiti have actually been growing sweet potatoes and cassava for a long time. The sweet potatoes that Columbus brought back to Europe were obtained from the Taíno people on the island of Haiti.

In other words, these Tylenol people actually know how to farm. Although the technique is average, as long as you teach it by hand, you can still farm normally.

In addition, if these Taítans, who were relatively milder among the Indians, were brought to the New York colony, these Taítans would be more restrained and afraid to mess around when they left their familiar homeland.

Generally speaking, most of the people who rebelled against colonization were local natives. Outsiders, on the other hand, will join forces with the colonists. Just like when the Dutch colonized Indonesia, they relied heavily on Chinese immigrants in the early days. The Chinese immigrants were also very loyal to the Dutch colonists at the beginning, working for them and exploiting the local natives.

Later, however, the Dutch discovered that the Chinese immigrants were too clever and too capable of amassing wealth. Therefore, later he became jealous and united with the natives to persecute the Chinese.

Of course, the Taíno people of Haiti are certainly not as smart as the Chinese. Therefore, Marin is not worried about them in the slightest. As long as these Tyrans are fed and given some salted fish and other things from time to time to improve their lives, Marin feels that it is unlikely that they will resist.

You know, the Spanish colonizers were so brutal, they colonized the island of Haiti for decades, and they didn't see how fierce the Taíno resistance was. And Marin is gentle and willing to feed people, who has nothing to risk their lives to resist?

To put it bluntly, Marin's plan is to convert all the 1 million Tylenol people on the island of Haiti into his own serfs|!

That's a million people! The indigenous people have a short lifespan, and the proportion of strong men in them is even higher, and it is estimated that there can be more than 300,000. Plus those women in the prime of life are also excellent laborers!

……

Previously, Marin did not take action against the Taíno on the island of Haiti because he was afraid that if these Taíno people were infected with smallpox by Europeans, they would be as unlucky as they had been in history.

In addition, the syphilis transmission rate of the Taíno people on the island is relatively high, and it is easy to get infected if you come into contact with them rashly......

"What to do? It seems that the problem of syphilis cannot be solved for a while......"

Marin suddenly realized that if he wanted to control the island of Haiti at once, it seemed that too many troops would be needed. The 500 soldiers in rhinoceros leather armor sent this time could only guarantee the defeat of Carlos's resistance. But if you want to control the whole island, this is not enough......

At this time, Marin suddenly remembered a report he had seen a few days ago......

……

From a pile of documents, Marin found the not very important document - a group of strong Mao Gonggong with a total of 2,000 people has arrived......

These 2,000 Mao father-in-law was prepared by Marin in order to check the syphilis infection of women on the island of Haiti, after all, to check syphilis, you need to check the following. If you are a normal young man with strong blood, you may not be able to help but have something happen. At that time, a new syphilis patient may be born......

But unlike this group of Mao fathers, who were castrated by the Crimeans, they have no desires, and the intermediate process of checking whether a Taíno woman has syphilis will not go wrong.

According to the original plan, Marin intended to send a large army to conquer the entire island of Haiti. Then, control the people on the island, and then send these 2,000 Mao father-in-law to check the syphilis situation of the women on the island......

……

But now, Marin suddenly changed his mind......

Marlin has a new idea? Previously, he planned to develop the island of Haiti, but it was only the 1 million people on the island. But now, Marin suddenly figured out - since it is to plan those populations, why should the island of Haiti be developed? Wouldn't it be better to just arrest them and send them to other colonies?

Moreover, it is easier to manage the local Taíno people in other colonies. After all, when you leave your hometown, most people will panic and become cautious, how dare you blow up a stab?

……

In addition, it is also important to note that Marin does not have enough manpower to control the entire population of the island at once, and it is difficult to complete the syphilis detection of the island's residents at once.

But if you change to plundering the population, then all this is not a problem!

First of all, the plundering of the population, which requires relatively few manpower. Even if it's a few hundred people, it's a big deal to bring back the population of a village every time you go out. Although a few hundred people are small, the number of times is too many, and the small amount adds up.

And, very importantly, if there are only a few hundred people at a time, then checking the syphilis carrier is simple, and there are absolutely enough people!

Then, the healthy Tylen who passed the examination were sent to colonies such as New York as serfs. And people who do not pass the examination and have syphilis on their bodies...... Naturally, they were sent to a desert island, given them hunting tools, and left them to fend for themselves......

Only by isolating the source of syphilis from normal people can normal people not be harmed. Moreover, those who have been proven to be healthy will not be infected with syphilis when they arrive in the new colonial area, and they are very safe.

In this way, the problem of syphilis among the locals was solved and examined in batches, and the pressure of insufficient manpower was perfectly solved. In addition, it is also an opportunity to inoculate them with cowpox so that they will not be destroyed by smallpox in the future.

Marin had already planned to send 100,000 Tyno men and 100,000 strong women to the New York colony. If nothing else, the future Pennsylvania area will be developed first. These 200,000 young men and women were sent to cut down trees first. With so many young and strong laborers, the efficiency of tree cutting must be greatly improved. The area is then developed into farmland to produce food and raise livestock.

As for the original German immigrants, some of the strong men will be drawn and formed into a militia, which will be responsible for supervising these Taítans and preventing them from escaping.

In this way, with the participation of 200,000 middle-aged men and women, at least 3 million acres of arable land can be developed, and a lot of cattle and sheep can be raised. When the time comes, Marin won't have too much food and supplies in his hands......

In addition, Marin also plans to emigrate tens of thousands of Taíno to the Savannah colony to assist the colonists there and develop the Savannah colony.

Unlike New York Colony, Savannah Colony has a subtropical climate that allows for the cultivation of not only wheat and peanuts, but also cash crops such as cotton. Marin wanted to promote cotton fabrics, as well as cotton coats and quilts in the future, and had to expand cotton cultivation in the Savannah colony.

So, it seems, the need for Tyno serfs in the Savannah colonies seems to be greater......

Marin thought about it for a moment and made another adjustment - first providing Savannah with 20,000 young men and women of Taino and prioritizing the development of cotton farming. As for the New York colony, wait a minute......
