"The expedition to the north was smooth sailing. The homeland of the Vikings, rejuvenated. The southeast fish jumps, and the natives return to the heart. It's here, ready to go. ”

The colonization of Newfoundland went smoothly, and a deal with the stupid Beotuks meant that the entire island had been taken without blood. Not only did it cancel Ferdinand's original plan of conquest and dispel the worries of the Reclamation Corps, but it also meant that a solid base in the North Atlantic could be used to open up the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and the Labrador Peninsula.

"The United Empire has a fine tradition of valuing the rights and interests of the indigenous peoples of the American continent, as early as 1494, the chief of the Beotuk tribe of North American Indians was able to serve as mayor of Lanceoz, the capital of the Canadian province, which is unprecedented in Europe...... Five hundred years later, the spokesperson for Queen Elizabeth II of the United Empire of Iberia and America told the media in a poismatic manner. At the same time, it is natural to ignore the mysterious disappearance of tens of millions of Indians in the New World for unnatural reasons.

"You want to promote this model, but I would say that Newfoundland has its own island and that the model of the city of Lanceoz cannot be replicated......" Ferdinand, returning to the Iberian Peninsula, reluctantly explained to Isabella, who was almost paranoid about his desire to adopt a moderate policy towards the natives, in order to dispel the unrealistic ideals of tenderness.

"Such an ideal is possible if the natives are as stupid as the Beotuks. However, the reality is that although there are a lot of people who have been deceived, if you are really tied up to sell in the market, there will not be a few people who will help you count the money. Queen Isabella was very good at the "civilized people" of the whole of Europe, including relatives and in-laws, and even Ferdinand, who was very good at intrigue and stratagem, but she was like the Virgin of the Americans? Is this really a devout desire to save them, or is it the mercy of the strong for the weak? Judging from her performance in history, it is very likely that it is the former, and His Majesty is really a little speechless about this.

……

On March 1, 1494, on the northernmost point of Newfoundland, the ships of the Second Detachment began to assemble.

In New York, there are many people who stay, but there are few ships, because New York's natural conditions are superior, the supply of resources is sufficient, and grain production is worry-free, and the work of the entire cantonment regiment is to pioneer, cultivate, and prepare for war. So the "second detachment" left more than a third of its personnel, but only 3 ships, less than a tenth of the total.

In Newfoundland, it's the other way around. Although Fonseca has achieved unexpected results, fooling the natives into selling their own people and the island, the climate of the whole island is cold, and the living conditions are relatively harsh. This has two important implications.

One is that the cantonment regiment should be transformed into a fishing and hunting regiment, where sailors fish, soldiers hunt, and natives gather (and then bought by the cantonment regiment), so that boats are needed to fish.

Again, if the left-behind crew really can't get by, they must be ready to run away at any time. There's a fishing paradise called Newfoundland Shoal, but what if it really doesn't work? Although Ferdinand and Fonseca had said that he might die there, they couldn't really let Fonseca and the rest of the officers and soldiers die of starvation. Therefore, at the critical moment, there must be enough ships for the crew to run away decisively and go south to New York to join the large-scale New York Reclamation Corps.

Therefore, the configuration of the remaining troops of the Reclamation Corps in Newfoundland is as follows-

130 soldiers, 5 officers, 173 sailors, 7 captains, 7 galleons and 21 small fishing boats. Fonseca served as the chief of the military administration, while Father José and his attendants volunteered to stay behind to bring the gospel of God to the remaining crew. A total of 318 people are able to support here.

It is worth mentioning that the two troops left behind in North America are the focus, with a number of not a thousand but a few hundred, while the two forces in South America are smaller, only about 100 people. Originally, only a few dozen people could be left to plant tropical high-yield crops with the help of the natural conditions of South America to maintain it temporarily, but after further recruitment and mobilization by Alonso, the crew of the "second detachment" to join the cantonment corps increased, and only then could about 200 more people be taken out to support the initial establishment of the South American colonial base.

Before the equinox, the weather in Newfoundland was still cold and harsh, and many of the remaining members of the Reclamation Corps shivered despite living in well-built fortifications. Seeing this, the Beotuks took the initiative to invite some Castilian people with frostbite and frostbite into the wooden houses where their tribe lived in the forest to rest and provide free food. The Beotuks should rejoice that their stupidity has made them the only Native American tribe in the New World that has not been traumatized.

At the foot of the Long Ridge Mountains, in the midst of a coniferous forest. A figure holding a cross approached the tribe of the natives, who welcomed him warmly. Father José was in charge of the soldiers' religious work on the island, such as listening to the confession of a soldier, saying that I had also thought of making a native girl before I came, and I was sprayed by my comrades-in-arms and the king around me and repented, and I wanted to repent......

At the same time, he also found time to preach to the natives, trying to get them to convert to their original belief in "animism" and worship God.

Father José's missionary work was very successful, and many Beotuks converted to Catholicism, which made Father José quite proud. He volunteered to become the only clergyman on the island of Newfoundland, and it seems that he has a bright future ahead of him. Although he lived an incorruptible life, was religious, and despised the filth and depravity of the Holy See, he also hoped that he would go further, and perhaps in the future become bishop of the Canadian province......

But now, with a cotton cloth on his mouth, Father José cautiously opened the door of the hut, and cast his dark gaze through the dusty air and the morning sun to a sick body opposite.

Father José's butler, Balthasar, caught a cold, but the brown sugar and ginger in the camp were limited to each person. Balthasar knew that the situation was difficult, so he rejected the ginger that His Majesty called "a cure" (not a cure-all), and temporarily lived in a wooden house of the Beotuk people - of course, the natives were told not to live together, just bring food, which sounds like a cartoon in the Mickey Mouse newspaper, Goofy and the others hang a bottle of chicken soup from a fishing rod to give to Mickey who is infected with an alien virus in the house......

Father José looked at his sick butler at the door, condemned him in stern terms, and issued him a final warning to him to pull back from the precipice at once—

"Give me back, you have to drink ginger brown sugar soup!"

Well, Balthasar did it on his own initiative. Father José felt incredible when he learned about this, and Fonseca smiled bitterly when he learned about it, and then covered his face and said: "How can there be such a stupid and cute person...... "If you infect the natives and others, wouldn't it be worse?" If you have a serious cold, it will be even more troublesome at that time, and even give you a small life, and the construction of the cemetery will be advanced......
