At the same time, about 70 survivors of Spanish adventurers who returned from the Amazon jungle also began to boast about their adventures in Spanish taverns and drinks.

In order to show their bravery, these survivors deliberately exaggerated their adventures in the Amazon jungle, exaggerating the dangers of the Amazon jungle several times, and they were terrified and frightened.

One of the adventurers, Rodrigo, even declared that most of the natives of the Savage Continent were cannibals, and only a few like the Taíno on the island of Hispaniola did not eat people. But Hispaniola has a lot of syphilis patients, so ...... The Savage Continent is terrifying......

This concept is actually deliberately promoted by the leaders of the Beihai Kingdom of the expedition to those adventurers. Most of the surviving adventurers, on their way back, were bombarded with this theory every day, coupled with the fear of the Amazon jungle, and they couldn't help but believe this conclusion. After all, they saw with their own eyes the horror of cannibals. Therefore, when they came back to brag, they also unconsciously promoted the idea that "most of the natives of the wild continent are cannibals".

Subsequently, taking advantage of this heat, Marin took the opportunity to send his subordinates to apply to the Holy See - requesting that the indigenous Indian tribes with cannibalistic habits be declared "God's forsaken tribes", which means hopeless barbarians abandoned by God.

In response to this cannibalistic "outcast", Marin asked the Holy See to authorize the Kingdom of America to use violence against them......

Pope Julius II, who was originally Marin's father-in-law, what objection could he raise to the request of the North Sea Kingdom? Moreover, there were bad natives who had a habit of cannibalism, and Julius II did not feel that they could save them. After all, God doesn't forgive criminals.

Therefore, Julius II openly granted the request of the North Sea State to treat those cannibals as murderers. Of course, try not to do anything to women and children. Unless, unless, can prove that they have eaten people......

Why did Marlin do this pointless thing? In fact, it is still to promote the horror of the Americas. He wanted to take the concept of cannibalism into the hearts of Europeans. In this way, few adventurers would dare to venture into the Americas.

Until England was annexed and digested, the North Sea States were not capable of resisting other nations' coveting of the Americas. Therefore, we can only try to use scare methods to stop those adventurers.

There is no way, although the North Sea country has a "sea", but in fact it is only by the sea, the real coastal ethnic groups, there are only more than 100,000 Frisians, only 30,000 or 40,000 strong men, and only 10,000 or 20,000 can be recruited, and if you want to fight against the Spanish and Portuguese countries with a population of millions and a seafaring population of hundreds of thousands, they may be able to win one or two naval battles, but it is difficult to block their way to the Americas. Because, people face the Atlantic Ocean......

In desperation, Marin could only pin his hopes on England. Although the population of England is only about the same as that of Portugal, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, making the country's seafaring population not small, but also hundreds of thousands. Although it is temporarily smaller than the Portuguese sailing, it is also very large. Most importantly, the potential is huge.

But if you want to annex England, you will first anger France...... Let's think about how to withstand the wave of France......

Marin let out a long sigh and began to study how to resist a possible joint attack by the French and the alliance of princes......

……

At this time, in the far east, after several months of sailing, a fleet of 30 Portuguese warships led by Da Gama finally arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River......

"Is this the Ming Empire?" Da Gama climbed up the stern, put up a pergola and looked into the distance – no way, the Portuguese had no binoculars, so they had to resort to the traditional climb to the heights......

Coincidentally, what Da Gama was looking at at at this time happened to be the Hong Kong Island of the later generations. However, Hong Kong Island, which was extremely prosperous in later generations, was desolate at this time, with only a few dilapidated small fishing villages, and the island was basically undeveloped.

Da Gama pouted and said:

"It's not good, it's not as prosperous as the Portuguese coastal town......"

At this time, Bernardo, a translator who had learned a little Chinese in Southeast Asia, said with a smile:

"My lord, I heard that this is a desolate island at the mouth of the Pearl River, which seems to be the boundary of Xin'an County. Guangzhou, the most prosperous city in the Ming Kingdom, is still more than 200 miles away from here, well, it means more than 20 leagues......"

"More than 20 leagues? So far? Da Gama was taken aback.

Bernardo continued:

"I heard the Ming people in Malacca say that the Ming country was very large, from Guangzhou to their capital, Jingshi, there were more than 4,000 li, that is, three or four hundred liges. Moreover, it is said that the Jingshi is not the northernmost part of the Ming Kingdom, and the distance between their east and west is as far as the distance between north and south......"

"Oh God, what a big country this is? I'm starting to look forward to the profits after opening the market in this country! Da Gama smiled.

"My lord, the Ming Kingdom is not comparable to those small countries, you still have to be careful......"

Da Gama nodded, but still said confidently:

"I see what you mean, if it were on land, Portugal would not be a match for the country. But if it's at sea...... Let's look at the power of our great Kingdom of Portugal! Depart, go directly to the port of Guangzhou! ”

30 Portuguese warships, divided into two columns and lined up in a long snake formation, sailed into the mouth of the Pearl River......

The flotilla rounded Lantau Island to the west and headed north, causing panic among fishermen at the mouth of the Pearl River. They rowed back to land, and the panicked appearance caused the Portuguese sailors to laugh. However, the Portuguese sailors did not shell the fishing boat. Because, they came from afar, and the gunpowder they brought was limited, and they couldn't waste it on it, and they must be used in battle first.

However, they didn't know that after rowing back to the shore, Chen Aniu, a fisherman from Xin'an County, immediately put on straw sandals and ran all the way to the Tuen Mun Inspection Department of Xin'an County, shouting:

"Oh no, sir, there are dozens of foreign ships on the sea, and there are a lot of yellow-haired ghosts on board, and it is not good to look at the comers!"

Tang Quan, the inspector of the Tuen Mun Inspection Division, saw the panicked Chen Aniu, and said unhappily:

"Howl Nilaomu, Chen Aniu, you should pounce!"

"Official, really, I don't believe you always look at the west ocean in person!"

Before Tang Quan could ascend, Li Fu, a patrol soldier on the watchtower, shouted:

"My lord, there are 30 unidentified ocean-going ships on the western ocean, and each of them is very large. Moreover, there may be copper cannons on board! I saw the reflection of the bronze cannon on the ship! ”

"Bronze cannon?" Tang Quan was taken aback, and then shouted:

"Li Fu, you should pounce, did you really see the copper cannon?"

Li Fu affirmed:

"That's right, when I went to Weiyuan Fort to play with my cousin, I saw the copper cannon over there, and from a distance, the sun reflected after the sun, and it was a golden light......

"Oops! Something is wrong! Niu Dali, give me death! ”

"Hey, here we go!" Niu Dali, the herald of the Tuen Mun Inspection Division, ran out of the camp in a hurry.

"Quick, get on your horse, hurry, go to the Weiyuan Fort east of Humen to report the news, just say that there are 30 barbarian ships, the people who come are not good, please prepare for war!"

"Order!" The herald immediately rushed to the stable of the inspection station, pulled out a short pony, quickly turned over on the horse, beat the horse and rushed out, all the way to the north......
