Chapter 1947: I Have Served the Holy See!
There are more than 7,000 "indigenous rebels" surrounding Guantánamo castle, of which 3,000 were formerly "puppet troops" who helped Tara manage the Cuban natives, and the leader also gave a very German name - Hans.
In the process of besieging the city, those who went to the village to destroy were basically more than 4,000 natives who were not puppet soldiers. However, there were puppet army officers who instructed them to "smash and loot in an orderly manner......
Yes, orderly smashing and looting. This is not the real indigenous barbarian army of Haiti, but a puppet army with a tight organizational structure.
When the natives outside the more than 4,000 puppet soldiers were "smashing and looting" in the village, the 3,000 puppet soldiers were motionless and lined up in a neat queue staring at the direction of the castle. That posture is very similar to that of a regular army......
"This ...... The natives also have an army? Baron Mawson, from Lorraine, was shocked when he saw the situation.
Because, in Santo Domingo, although there are many indigenous armies, they are basically noisy, like a mess. If it weren't for the fact that there were only a few hundred people in the castle, the difference in numbers was too large, and it was easy to be swallowed up by the opponent by relying on numerical superiority, and the defenders could have counterattacked.
But this "indigenous rebel army" outside Guantanamo Castle clearly has the appearance of an army. In particular, the 3,000 natives standing in the front row used very poor weapons, mostly rudimentary spears made of sharpened sticks, and earthen bows and arrows. However, while the other 4,000 people went to several villages around the castle to loot and set fires, the 3,000 men stared motionless into the castle, apparently afraid that the defenders in the castle would fight back......
Along with Baron Mawson's questioning, several other representatives also set their sights on Tara.
Tara pretended to be helpless and said:
"The rebel leader was once my slave......"
"Your slave? How could he train out the army? You must know that those who can train two or three thousand people to look good are generally only the children of the knight family. Baron Mawson wondered.
Tara seemed to cover her face helplessly, and then said:
"When we first came to Cuba, my servant named 'Stubborn Stone' (Hans's original name) took him with me because he was very obedient and loved to learn. And, because of the lack of manpower to supervise the natives, I had the Rock recruit 100 natives and train them to use spears and bows to guard against natives who might have bad intentions......"
But he didn't expect that he learned the means of commanding the army...... Originally, he was still loyal, but a few months ago, the guy named Carlos over there sent someone to drive a canoe over and secretly touched the boulder. Under the bewitchment of Carlos's men, Stubborn Stone defected from the castle with more than 100 of his men. Then, a team of several thousand people was pulled up......"
"It's a good thing I didn't teach them how to use muskets, and I didn't give them muskets. Otherwise, the 'city of Havana' will be in danger......" Tara put on a look of the rest of her life.
After studying behind Marin for a few years, Tara doesn't say anything else, and the performance can definitely reach the level of Hengdian dragon set. And in this era, this level is enough......
"In other words, Carlos on the island of Hispaniola was cultivated by the Spaniards, and the leader of the stubborn stones on the island of Cuba was cultivated by yourself?" Baron Mawson concluded.
Tara continued to pretend to be embarrassed and said:
"Like...... It's like this......"
At this time, Baron Mawsen and several other representatives of the German anti-horse vassal states almost burst into laughter - it's so cool, the colonies of the North Sea Kingdom are really not peaceful! But the more this happens, the more refreshed they feel!
Tara pretended not to see their smiling expressions, and said seriously:
"But it's okay, I've already applied for reinforcements from home. We, His Majesty Marin, have also decided to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress these two rebels. However, most Europeans have a hard time adapting to the hot and humid environment. In the wild, we can easily defeat them. But if they hide in the forest, it will be difficult......"
In response to Tara's words, the representatives of the vassal states present all nodded in agreement. After all, Germany is also a densely forested place at the moment. Many robbers and rebels, after hiding in the Black Forest, it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to exterminate them.
But understanding is understanding, but they are still happy to see that the colonies of the North Sea Kingdom have become a mess. After all, it is also very comfortable to watch the enemy unlucky.
Seeing that several representatives of the vassal states were obviously very cool but had to control their expressions, Tara also pretended not to know, and "comforted":
"Don't worry, your majesty has decided to mobilize tens of thousands of troops from the mainland. Not only can they defeat the rebels, but they will also stay and cut down trees, cutting them all down. In this way, there will be no hiding place for those rebels. Someday, both Cuba and Hispaniola will settle down. Moreover, our Majesty has decided to save 100,000 healthy natives from the severely ill island of Hispaniola. Then, develop them all into believers in the great Lord......"
Tara, like a fool, babbles on about "planning" for the future. Bishop Rugani and several people from the Holy See, as "their own people", and when they heard that the Beihai Kingdom really wanted to develop 100,000 indigenous people as Christians as promised, they were naturally overjoyed and nodded their heads in approval.
And Baron Mawson and several other representatives of the German Confederation rolled their eyes sharply - Nima, this mallet, how can we see that we are worried about him? I'm afraid it's too late for him to die! However, Beihai is really willing to spend money and wants to develop 100,000 Christians. This big deal has simply slapped the Holy See's sycophants to the extreme......
At a time when the Holy See was still very authoritative, even if the representatives of several states were upset, they had to keep smiling and echo Bishop Rugani from time to time. In particular, two representatives from the Episcopal States were themselves people within the Church. Although hostile to Marin, he had to pretend to be very happy when he heard about the plan to raise 100,000 Christians. In fact, they are very conflicted, and they are happy to add 100,000 Christians. However, the person who did this was their boss's opponent Marin, and they were very unhappy......
……
Seeing the expressions of a few people who didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Tara was secretly refreshed. He remembered a very annoying thing Marlin once said - he likes to see you want to kill me but I can't do anything about it......
To prove the merits of the mission, Tara had been ready months ago. In the presence of Bishop Rugani and other representatives of the mission, Tara summoned 100 local teenagers and recited a large section of the Bible in Latin in front of the team, which made Bishop Rugani and other representatives of the church so happy that their hands turned red.
With these 100 children who can recite the Bible in Latin, Bishop Rugani can give a positive assessment of the colonization of the North Sea Kingdom......
In fact, Tara also wanted to find more indigenous people to memorize the Bible, but very few indigenous people could learn European languages, and it took a lot of effort for Tara to find 100 indigenous teenagers who could memorize the Bible in Latin.
In addition to the 100 teenagers who could memorize the Bible, there were two adult indigenous clergy who could speak German in the church at Guantánamo Castle. These two were among the geniuses of the natives, and Tara didn't know what to do with them.
It is said that such a genius should be very useful to help in the official mansion. But Marin was worried that this kind of person was too smart, and he really had the mind to stand on his own after mastering a lot of skills.
Therefore, Marin later thought of a very immoral method - all the indigenous geniuses were sent to the church as priests. In this way, after these geniuses enter the cage of the church, they can't even get married and have children, and even if they are smart, they can only recite the scriptures and pray to God every day......
In this way, the genius of the indigenous people is wasted in the church. However, this move can greatly curry favor with the Holy See, so why not?
Sure enough, after two missionaries of indigenous genius had spoken fluent German and Latin to the representatives of the mission, Bishop Rugani qualified the missionary work on the island of Cuba as having been very effective......
At this time, Tara held her chest high and looked proud. The smug exaggerated expression, clearly say - I have made meritorious contributions to the Holy See, and I am a great meritorious hero! Come and praise me......
