Chapter 1786: Father-in-law Mao's arrangement

In other words, after adjustment, Marin has changed his original plan to directly develop the island of Haiti, and instead plundered the population from the island of Haiti and went to other developed colonies to become serfs.

He was originally interested in the 1 million people of Haiti Island, not the abundant resources of the area. Even if there is a local gold resource, Marin does not care very much.

Besides, Marin felt that if he really developed a large amount of gold resources from the island of Haiti, it is estimated that Spain, which gave up the island of Haiti, would go crazy with depression. After all, that's where they voluntarily gave up.

Therefore, in order not to irritate the Spaniards, Marin did not think about continuing to develop the island of Haiti. Anyway, the gold resources there are not famous, and the estimated gold content and reserves are not high, so there is no need to forcibly exploit them.

Of course, when sending troops to capture the population, Marin will also send professionals who know a little about gold mining to accompany the army. If you come across a gold mine by chance, you can't miss it, right?

As for the 500 reinforcements sent to the island of Haiti, as well as 500 sets of rhinoceros leather armor, this plan was not intended to be changed, but carried out as usual. After all, the resistance of the indigenous Carlos is sure to be eliminated. Otherwise, the colonization project could not continue.

Regardless, Santo Domingo is a great springboard. The colonists had a foothold here, and they could send troops around to capture the population, and then, after quarantining in Santo Domingo, check their health, and then send them to the ships in the harbor and transport them to where they were needed.

In fact, in addition to the cotton cultivation in Savannah, a large amount of labor is also needed in Cuba, such as sugar cane, sisal and rubber plantations.

In order to maintain the development of Cuban plantations, Tara has sent troops to sweep the surrounding area many times, and arrested many Cuban locals to work on the plantations.

According to Tara's estimates, there are about two or three hundred thousand indigenous people on the island of Cuba. At present, only about 100,000 people in tens of thousands of square kilometers near Havana have been conquered by Tara troops. Among them, all the strong men and strong women were sent by Tara to work on the plantation.

The indigenous people of the island of Cuba are roughly divided into the Guanajada Beyi, the Sibonne, the Taíno and some smaller indigenous Indian tribes.

Among them, the Taíno here and the Taíno on the island of Haiti are a family, and they originally migrated from the island of Haiti, mainly in the eastern part of the island of Cuba. Only a small number of the Taíno on the island of Cuba moved west to the vicinity of Havana, where they were conquered by Tara's colonial forces.

Tara, although not very capable, strictly executes Marin's orders. Although he initially subjugated the locals by brutal force, he did not mistreat them.

Except for the frequent whipping of lazy people who refused to work at first, the indigenous serfs were never abused. Their treatment is not as bad as that of the serfs of the Beihai Kingdom. Because, the local resources are too abundant, and there is too much food to provide.

For example, the main food in the region is rice. However, bananas are everywhere. When the bananas are ripe, the local indigenous serfs can eat bananas openly, which is much happier than the native serfs of Beihai Kingdom.

But Tara is still not satisfied and plans to ask for more labor. So, if necessary, Marin would also share some of the Taíno serfs on the island of Haiti. Anyway, the last thing that is lacking on the island of Haiti is the population.

……

Of course, not all Taítans are willing to be serfs at ease, and there must be diehards among them who are more resolute in resisting. In this regard, Marin's way of dealing with it is also simple and rude - not worrying, right? Okay, you're disqualified from being a serf!

What the? Freely? Inexistent! I won't let you be a serf, but there's something else for you to do - go mine!

There are also laterite nickel mines to be excavated on the island of Cuba, as well as chromite ore. In the future, there may be some gold and silver mines. Alternatively, you can send it to the Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island to dig for coal......

In short, the end of mining is much worse than being a serf. After all, although serfs are also hard, at least there are still farms. That is, during the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, the serfs were a little busier. And the slave of mining, it is more sad, mining every day, busy to death every day, no leisure time. Moreover, there is a danger to life in underground operations......

In other words, Marin's simple and crude point of view is - go to farming, not go to mining!

Farmers have to be honest. Those who are not honest are sent to mining. If you refuse to dig, the overseer's whip will teach you how to behave......

In this way, the serfs are honest people, and there is no need to worry about accidents on the more scattered farms. Although there are many thorns in the mine, the labor site of the mine is concentrated, as long as enough soldiers and horses are sent to suppress the formation, those thorns can be controlled, and they cannot be turned over by waves.

Moreover, there is a difference between mining and mining. For example, digging coal mines, in fact, digging coal on the surface is not dangerous at all, it is more comfortable. The real danger of digging coal is the operation of going down the mine. After all, it is easy to encounter a gas explosion or something when working in the mine. Moreover, it is easy to encounter toxic gases.

Therefore, for mining, Marin is also differentiated - normal and honest miners, mainly responsible for surface mining or shallow mine mining. As for going down into the deep well, send those thorns down......

……

The more Marin thought about it, the more excited he became, and he kept writing on the paper. These are paper mills from the northern part of Cape Breton Island and are of high quality and low cost.

As he wrote, Marin's eyes glanced at the document he had just flipped out about receiving 2,000 Mao Gonggong......

"2,000 people...... How do I arrange it......"

The plan has changed, and the arrangements of this gang of Mao father-in-law must also be adjusted. Originally, Marin planned to send tens of thousands of troops to directly conquer the whole island. But in the end, I gave up, not because I couldn't beat it, but because it was too time-consuming!

If those 1 million people are concentrated in one city, it will be easy to do, just send 10,000 troops to attack the city, conquer it, and take the people away directly.

However, these 1,000,000 Taíno people are scattered across a huge island with an area of 76,000 square kilometers! What is the concept of 76,000 square kilometers? Bigger than both Taiwan provinces!

Moreover, the island is mountainous and rugged, and the roads are very difficult to walk. If you want to conquer the whole island, you will definitely have no problem fighting, but marching is a big problem. Moreover, it is easy to cause a large number of soldiers to become ill and even die.

Previously, Marin also thought about it simple, but he didn't expect specific difficulties. Now, thinking about it, I had to give up my previous plan and adjust my plan.

This adjustment, it seems that these 2000 Mao father-in-law is too much......

After all, to support an army of 10,000, 2,000 people is not much at all. However, it seems that there are a lot of people to support hundreds of colonial troops......

"Or, directly incorporate these 2,000 Mao father-in-law into the arresting army?" Ma Lin thought about it, so he sent someone to order him to bring the 2,000 Mao father-in-law over to take a look.

As a result, these 2,000 Mao fathers are all strong and look very powerful. Obviously, this is the best coolie......

However, equipping them with rhinoceros leather armor is obviously impossible, too extravagant. You know, the regular army of the Beihai Kingdom is not equipped with much rhinoceros leather armor.

Therefore, Marin plans to equip these 2,000 Mao fathers with shields and train them all to become shield bearers. With shields, these Mao Gonggongs can also resist the bows and arrows of the indigenous resistance to a certain extent. In addition, on them, Marin decided to let them wear double mahjong mat armor, that is, wood chip armor. Although you can't block the recurve bow, you can still block the earthen bow and arrow.

Then, these 2,000 Mao Gonggong, who is holding a shield, will become the assistant of the 500 expeditionary forces and help them arrest people. When it is time for the quarantine examination, I can also help to check the Tylenol woman to see if there is syphilis......
