Once, Marin had intended for Tara to use Huairou methods to win over the natives of the island of Cuba. However, if you do that, it will take too long, and it will not be effective in ten or eight years.

Moreover, Tara is not as cunning as Marin and is not very good at fooling people. So, Marin has now decided - to directly and violently conquer the island of Cuba.

Of course, Marin is not a brutal person. The violence he used was not the kind of murderous policy of the Spaniards. The Taíno people of Cuba are still relatively mild and less belligerent, unlike those cannibal Caribs.

Therefore, Marlin's principle is to avoid as many deaths as possible. As long as the other party is subdued, it's fine. Then, Marin needs these Tylens to help him grow sugar cane.

After conquering the Tyrans, Marin intended to kill only the chiefs so that the Tyrans would be left leaderless. Marin would then use the family unit to break up the original Taíno group and prevent them from grouping.

But after that, Marin will provide them with enough food while asking them to help with the farming. For example, there is enough rice, and after the sugar cane is grown, the sugar boiled will also provide some to the Taíno people. As for other tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples, and coconuts, they can be used as food for the Taíno people. As long as life is better than before, and the original tribe is broken up, and the original leader is dead, why do the already mild-mannered Taítans rebel?

Besides, even if they rebel, they are not afraid, Marin has a strong army in his hands......

For the more than 300 musketeers who were selected to go to Cuba, Marin equipped them with expensive clockwork muskets. This musket does not use a fire rope and is well adapted to the climate of the tropical rainforest. If you use an arquebus instead, the humid climate over there will easily extinguish the arquebus.

In addition, Marin will also agree to equip them with "mahjong mat" armor, that is, a piece of wood to tie the armor with iron sheets to enhance protection. Such armor is enough to deal with those indigenous warriors who don't even have metal weapons. And those sword and shield soldiers also use "mahjong mat" armor. Moreover, the shield in the sword and shield is directly on the ordinary wooden shield, and even the iron sheet does not need to be covered. Because, it's enough to withstand the Tyano's stone weapons.

Of course, Marin is not willing to adopt this violent offensive mode in its entirety. Peaceful means, Marin is also willing to try.

This is not Marin's own conjecture, but there are ready-made examples......

Haidel's younger brother, Wilts, in the Moa region of Cuba, has very good relations with the local natives. Wiltz often invited local indigenous chiefs to dine at the mines, and served directly to Marin's Chinese cooks, who served the local tribal chiefs with good food and wine. As a direct result, the local tribes took the initiative to send laborers to help Wiltz dig laterite nickel ore. Of course, they didn't suffer either, and Wiltz would pay the natives who helped with the mining with food and salt. Table salt, in particular, is very popular with the local indigenous people.

In the end, the chieftain of the tribe who had the best relationship with Wilts refused to leave directly at Wiltz's mine station, eating and drinking every day, and marrying his daughter to Wilts...... It's a pity that Wiltz has a wife, and Catholicism is not allowed to marry two wives, so he can only refuse......

However, this tribe, which had good relations with Wilts, was almost annexed by Wilts. Why? For their chieftains come to eat and drink all day long, and they send all the male laborers of the tribe to mine. As a result, no one in the tribe hunted.

Wiltz, however, provided them with no less food than they did from hunting. It can be said that they have to insist on helping Wiltz mine, and their tribe will not lack food and will not starve to death. Moreover, the salt quota is still sufficient.

Therefore, now this tribe basically lives on the edge of the mine, and the original stockade has been directly abandoned. They now have a direct employment relationship with Wilts, which is equivalent to being annexed by Wiltz.

……

Influenced by Wiltz's actions, Marin argues that the Taíno tribes do not all need to be violently conquered by force. Sometimes, it's okay to try to corrode and woo.

Wiltz's approach, for example, is very good. At the beginning, for the sake of being Heider's younger brother, Marin assigned him a Chinese chef to solve his food problems. As a result, Wilts directly used this cook, with delicious braised pork, sweet and sour fish, etc., and enough wine, to directly corrupt the leaders of several nearby tribes, and now they have all become "cooperative units". And Wiltz's attitude was that as long as there were enough male laborers in any village to help him mine, their chieftain could come to him for free to eat and drink......

Where have those chiefs who live below the subsistence line seen delicious braised pork, sweet and sour fish and all kinds of stir-fried dishes? Add to that the vats of German-style stouts, and these chiefs are simply overwhelmed. In order to satisfy their appetites, they directly sent the male laborers of the clan to the mine to help with mining. And they themselves, in the name of "talking about things", often come to Wilts, eating big fish and meat every day, drinking small wine, and not giving up until they get drunk......

……

In view of this, Marin decided to gather a few Chinese chefs, bring a boat full of spices and ingredients, as well as a stir-fry iron pot, to Tara's Havana Castle to help Tara hold a banquet.

Cape Breton Island provides enough salt, apple cider vinegar is abundant in Europe, and cane sugar is being grown near Havana Castle, and ginger is also being grown. Just bring spice plants such as green onions and garlic, and vegetable seeds such as leeks to plant. Then, Tara can have endless delicacies to entertain the chiefs.

As long as the chiefs were willing to bring someone to help cut down trees to make a plantation and help to grow sugar cane, Tara paid them directly enough food. At the same time, you can let those chiefs come to eat and drink every day, and they will not return if they are not drunk......

Of course, this is only one of the means of co-opting. This is a carrot, and in addition to the carrot, there is also a stick......

If some chiefs are not willing to bring people to work for Tara to grow sugar cane, then it is time to consider annexing their tribes by force......

At this time, the 300 musketeers and 300 sword and shield soldiers can come in handy......

However, it also takes skill to attack those tribes. If it is a hard fight, it will inevitably cause death and injury. Alternatively, an opportunistic approach can be employed......

When Ma Lin was in school, he learned "Outwitting the Birth Gang", that is, Wu Yong and others used sweat medicine to numb the fierce general Yang Zhi and robbed the Shengchengang. Tara can also use this method against the simple Tylens......

If some of the Taíno tribes refuse to take refuge in vain, then Tara can send a large amount of wine and meat to the relevant tribes and invite them to eat and drink.

Anyway, Marin now has a lot of food and wine, so he is not afraid of consumption. At that time, as long as those indigenous soldiers are drunk, those soldiers can directly enter the "corpse" without seeing blood......

These natives had never drunk alcohol in the first place, so naturally the amount of alcohol was not much. When the time comes, Tara can dispatch a few people with a large amount of alcohol to directly overturn the strong men of the natives, and then they can clean up as they want. Even if you meet a few natural wine fairies, everyone can go up and hold them together, and you can get it......

……

In short, Marin intends to adopt a diversified strategy, with carrots (food and wine) in one hand and sticks in the other, in order to conquer the largest number of tribes in the shortest possible time, and lay a solid foundation for full control of the island of Cuba......

Once he took control of most of the island, Marin was able to explode sugar production on the island. In the future, tea will also be grown. When the time comes, sugar and tea will continue to be shipped to Europe at low prices, making a huge profit for Marin......
