The Rise of the European Emperor

If it was before, Marin would not dare to send troops to tropical areas casually, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among the personnel, or even non-combat attrition.

However, since Kong Tai transported the betel nut back from Daming, everything has changed. Although chewing betel nuts has the risk of oral cancer, but it has no choice but not to overdose, in fact, nothing. Moreover, those soldiers sent to the colonies did not stay for a lifetime, but were transferred back after a few years. Or, transferred elsewhere.

Marin coveted Haiti Island, mainly because of the large population of Haiti Island. After all, there are millions of people, how much land can be planted...

In fact, Marin had such a plan-to capture a group of Taino people from Haiti and send them to the New York colony as serfs!

The Taino people are not as fierce as the Indians in the North American jungles, and are relatively gentle. The accident this time was mainly caused by an indigenous man named Carlos who had learned Spanish craftsmanship and military command methods. Without this person, the local aborigines would be nothing but a mess, unable to achieve a climate.

Moreover, these Taino people are not like those black slaves, they are not well adapted to farming life. The Taino people on the island of Haiti have actually grown sweet potatoes and cassava for a long time. The sweet potatoes that Columbus brought back to Europe were obtained from the Taino people on the island of Haiti.

In other words, these Taino people actually know how to farm. Although the skills are average, as long as you teach them by hand, you can still farm normally.

In addition, if these Taino people who are relatively mild among the Indians are brought to the New York colony, these Taino people will be more cautious and dare not mess around after leaving their familiar hometown.

Generally speaking, those who resisted colonialism were mostly local aborigines. The outsiders, on the contrary, will stick together with the colonists. Just like when the Dutch colonized Indonesia, they relied heavily on Chinese immigrants in the early days. The Chinese immigrants were also very loyal to the Dutch colonists at first, working for them and exploiting the local aborigines.

However, the Dutch later discovered that the Chinese immigrants were too smart, and their ability to accumulate wealth was too strong. So, later, I became jealous and united with the aboriginals to persecute the Chinese.

Of course, the Taino people in Haiti are definitely not as smart as the Chinese. Therefore, Marin is not worried at all that they will turn their backs on customers. As long as these Taino people are full and give some salted fish and other things to improve their lives from time to time, Marin feels that it is unlikely that they will resist.

You know, the Spanish colonists were so cruel, and they have colonized Haiti for decades, and they have never seen how fierce the Taino people resisted. And Marin is gentle and willing to make people full. Who is okay to risk their lives to resist?

To put it bluntly, Marin's plan is to convert all the 1 million Taino people on Haiti Island into their own serfs|!

This is 1 million people! The aborigines have a short life span, and the proportion of strong men is higher, estimated to be more than 300,000.

Plus those middle-aged women are also excellent laborers!

...

Before, the reason why Marin did not do anything to the Taino people on Haiti was because they were worried that these Taino people would be as unlucky as they were in the original history after being infected with smallpox by Europeans.

In addition, the Taino people on the island have a relatively high rate of syphilis transmission, if you come into contact with them rashly, it is easy to get infected...

"What should I do? It seems that the problem of syphilis can't be solved for a while..."

Marin suddenly discovered that if he wanted to control Haiti at once, it seemed that too many troops would be needed. The 500 soldiers in rhinoceros leather armor sent this time can only guarantee to defeat Carlos' rebels. But to control the entire island, this number of people is far from enough...

At this time, Marin suddenly remembered a report he had seen a few days ago...

...

From a pile of documents, Marin found the not-so-important document—a group of strong eunuchs with a total of 2,000 people arrived...

The 2,000 Mao Gonggong was prepared by Marin to check the syphilis infection of the women on Haiti. After all, to check for syphilis, you need to check the following. If it was a normal young man with a fresh blood, he might not be able to help but something happened. At that time, a new syphilis patient may be born...

But this group of father-in-laws who had been castrated by the Crimeans was different. They had no desires, and there was nothing wrong with checking whether the Taino women had syphilis.

According to the original plan, Marin planned to send an army to conquer the entire island of Haiti. Then, control the people on the island, and then send these 2,000 father-in-laws to check for syphilis on the girls on the island...

...

But now, Marin suddenly changed his mind...

What new ideas does Marin have? Before, he planned to develop Haiti Island, but the 1 million people on Tu Island. But now, Marin suddenly figured it out-since it is the population of the map, why develop Haiti? Wouldn't it be enough to just capture them and send them to other colonies?

Moreover, it is easier to manage the local Taino people captured in other colonies. After all, when you leave your hometown, most people will panic and become cautious. How can they dare to stab them?

...

In addition, there is another very important point, that is, Marin is not manned enough to control the population of the whole island at once, and it is difficult to complete the inspection of syphilis carried by the residents on the island at once.

However, if the population is plundered instead, then all this will not be a problem!

First of all, plundering the population requires less manpower. Even a few hundred people is enough, the big deal is to bring back the population of a village every time you go out. Although a few hundred people are few, but the number of times is more, and the accumulation of less becomes more.

Moreover, a very important point is - if there are only a few hundred people at a time, then it is easy to check the syphilis carrying situation, and there are definitely enough people!

Then, the healthy Taino people who passed the inspection were sent to colonies such as New York as serfs. Those who failed the inspection and were infected with syphilis... were naturally sent to a deserted island, given them hunting tools, and left them to fend for themselves...

Only by isolating these sources of syphilis from normal people can normal people not be harmed. Moreover, those who have been certified healthy will not be infected with syphilis after arriving in the new colony, and they are very safe.

In this way, the problem of local syphilis is solved and checked batch by batch, and the pressure of insufficient manpower has been perfectly resolved. In addition, you can also take the opportunity to inoculate them with vaccinia, so that they can avoid the destruction of smallpox in the future.

Marin has already planned to send 100,000 Taino men and women to the New York colony first. Among other things, first develop the later Pennsylvania area. These 200,000 young and strong men and women will be sent to cut trees first. With so many young and strong laborers, the efficiency of tree cutting must be greatly improved. Then, develop the local area into farmland to produce food and raise livestock.

As for the original German immigrants, some strong men will be drawn out and organized into a militia to supervise these Taino people and prevent them from escaping.

In this way, with the participation of 200,000 middle-aged men and women, at least 3 million mu of arable land can be developed and a lot of cattle and sheep can be raised. At that time, don't have too much food and supplies in Marin's hands...

In addition, Marin also plans to immigrate tens of thousands of Taino people to the Savannah Colony, assist the colonial team there, and develop the Savannah Colony.

The Savannah colony is different from the New York colony. It has a subtropical climate and can grow not only wheat and peanuts, but also cash crops such as cotton. If Marin wants to promote cotton fabrics in the future, as well as cotton coats and quilts, he must expand cotton planting in the Savannah colony.

So, it seems that the need for Taino serfs in the Savannah colony seems to be greater...

Marin thought for a while, and made adjustments again-first provide Savannah with 20,000 Taino young men and women, and give priority to ensuring the development of the cotton planting industry. As for the New York colony, wait for a while...
