Eighty-five, the resentment of the Spaniards

Also intimidated by these hundreds of thousands of "mighty troops" were the Spaniards in Cortés' expedition.

If it is said that when they were just rough treatment by the Chinese, these Spaniards were still full of resentment, vaguely wanting to wait for an opportunity to retaliate and "teach these infidels a lesson". Then after seeing that the traversers easily pulled up a mighty army of hundreds of thousands in the blink of an eye, most of the Spaniards were left with infinite awe in their hearts, and they no longer dared to have any excessive delusions.

What especially did not dare them to act rashly was that this Spanish expedition, which was already very pitiful, was once again reduced in force during the conflict in the city of Chorula-although in the first frontal confrontation, less than twenty Spaniards were killed, but in the following journey, more and more Spaniards began to develop fever, coma, redness and swelling, and suppurated wounds, until they died of illness in a foreign land.

-- The Europeans of this era did not know what bacteria were, they had no concept of disinfection at all, and soldiers were very susceptible to suppuration after being wounded, and most of the soldiers who died of serious injuries in the war did not die directly from their wounds, but from bacterial infections of the wounds that followed. However, in order to enhance the lethality of the "Drill Monkey", the RPG Women's Army tied a thin lead wire to the rocket, and once it exploded, it was immediately splashed with lead filings.

The small wounds poked out by these broken lead wires seem to be inconspicuous, but if they are really left alone, then whether it is bacterial infection or lead poisoning, it is a very fatal problem for the ancients of this era. What's worse is that Europeans in these years rarely take baths, covered with dirt, and there are frightening bacteria on the body surface, eight or nine out of ten wounded will have wound infections, and because of the decline in the body's resistance, it will cause a series of related inflammation.

Thanks to the traversers, they thought that these wanted Spanish criminals were still useful, and could be used as bargaining chips with the Spanish colonial government, even if they were not needed to disturb the situation in the Aztec Empire...... So I finally pinched my nose and reluctantly provided some anti-inflammatory ointments and oral antibiotic pills, especially the rofloxacin capsules, which were quite effective against all kinds of bacterial infections in this era, which allowed one hundred and fifty Spaniards to survive.

By the way, that venerable and hateful preacher in black, an activist who destroyed ancient artifacts in the Americas, was infected by the burns of a fireflower bomb in the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, and then resolutely refused to take the "infidel devil's potion...... As a result, he fell ill and died on the way.

At this point, most of the Spanish adventurers who picked up a life were already completely deflated, seeing that although the Chinese treated themselves coldly and rudely, they were barely reasonable, and everyone also got a lot of oriental specialties, so they planned to be at the mercy of these Chinese next.

Only the tenacious and stubborn Commander Cortés is still dreaming of conquerors in the New World, thinking all day about how to defeat the Chinese and the Aztecs at the same time, so as to seize the "grand plan" of all of Mexico. Unfortunately, no one wants to listen to his nonsense except for his brainless and die-hard confidant Avalar......

-- Many people have the impression that white Europeans in modern times have an almost pathological sense of superiority, and they are arrogant and prejudiced in their bones, and they always think that only Europeans are the best people in Shijie, and they disdain people everywhere else, treating them as ants and monkeys.

But this extreme pride did not become more common until the middle and late Age of Discovery, when the global conquests of Westerners were so successful, at least after North and South America were easily conquered by a handful of Spanish explorers. …,

In 1519, the Age of Discovery had just begun, and the Spanish had not yet taken the first substantial step in the conquest of the New World, and the Turks were already on the verge of reaching the outskirts of Vienna from the east (in 1453, Constantinople fell, and the Eastern Roman Empire fell; In 1480, the Turkish army crossed the sea to Italy; In 1529, the First Battle of Vienna broke out) - the millennium glory of the Eastern Roman Empire, the great achievements of the Crusaders, have long since disappeared under the scimitars of the Turkish iron cavalry, and the battlefield of the struggle between Christians and Muslims has retreated from Jerusalem in Western Asia to Austria and Hungary in the heart of Central Europe, and the whole Christianity is in a precarious crisis......

In this tragic situation, which can almost be said to be "saving the country and trying to survive", Europeans have no capital to burst with self-confidence.

Moreover, for the Europeans of this era, the memory of the Mongol cavalry sweeping through Eastern Europe is not far away, and the so-called "Yellow Peril" has not yet become a historical term, and the Kazan Khanate, the Siberian Khanate, and the Crimean Khanate, which were founded by the descendants of Genghis Khan, were all still standing in the Russian wilderness, and from time to time there would be a terrible Tatar storm that would slash the saber at the poor Christians trembling in the west......

Therefore, in 1519, the vast majority of Europeans in their right thinking did not think that they had much capital to be proud of the world and overlook all beings, and at best they could only show their superiority to the Indians of the Americas and the blacks of Africa. The emperor who ruled China was, in their impression, a supreme being that could make the whole of Europe tremble, not to mention the Kingdom of Spain, which was only a corner of southwestern Europe.

However, among the above-mentioned "vast majority of Europeans in their right minds", Henan's is definitely not included. Lord Cortez.

As the so-called genius and madman are only one step apart, perhaps, people who can achieve great things in history have their maverick and even mad side. At least Cortés is such an extremely crazy gambler: normal people who are on the government's wanted warrant, most of them either take up their property and hide in Tibet, or look for ways to dredge up and down the relationship, he is good, and he has to fight for the country with confidence, and fooled a vote of people to cross the sea to Mexico...... And this guy really has the ability to rebel and explore at the same time!

While other famous conquerors throughout history, such as Alexander the Great and Caesar, could still count on their own backups, Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire in front of him and fought against the Spanish crusaders behind him! And they all won for him!

Especially in the legendary Battle of Otumba, Cortés led 15 cavalry to perform in public, and went straight into the tens of thousands of Aztec troops, killing the commander and returning...... No matter how you look at this guy, he has already opened a peerless plug-in, possessed by the god of war.

For such a darling of the times who opened the template of the protagonist of Long Aotian, the son of fate who changed Shijie, and the first-class family of Goddess Luck, what is the envoy of the Chinese emperor, what is the "yellow peril" that swept Shijie, in Cortez's eyes, are not worth fearing at all, at most they are just the next opponent to challenge, or the prey that needs to be pondered before they can shoot. As for the current kind of treatment that was beaten by the Chinese and then treated coldly, it made him full of resentment - although Cortés is not a careful eye that must be reciprocated, he has never been a magnanimous person who hit the left cheek and sent the right cheek, and since the conflict in the city of Chorula, he has always wanted to find a place again.

However, Cortez's subordinates were not as powerful as him, and they were first frightened by the magnificent rocket bombardment, and then they got a lot of "priceless" silk, spices, and porcelain, and thought that they had made a fortune, and began to reverie about the life of a rich man after returning home...... So they all spared their lives and refused to fight against the strong Chinese. Cortés couldn't think of any clever plan for a while, so he swallowed his anger and devoted all his energy to his pen, intending to record as much as he could see and hear during this period of time, and write a bestseller in the European market no less than "The Travels of Marco Polo", and use it as the basis for reporting to the King of Spain for merit in the future.
