The Rise of the European Emperor

In other words, after adjustments, Marin has changed the original plan to directly develop Haiti Island, and instead plundered the population from Haiti Island, and went to other developed colonies to serve as serfs.

He was originally looking at the 1 million population of Haiti, not the rich local resources. Even if there are gold resources locally, Marin doesn't care much.

Moreover, Marin felt that if he really developed a large amount of gold resources from Haiti Island, Spain, which had given up Haiti Island, would probably go crazy with depression. After all, that was where they voluntarily gave up.

Therefore, in order not to irritate the Spaniards, Marin did not think about continuing to develop Haiti. Anyway, the gold resources there are not well-known, and it is estimated that the gold content and reserves are not high, so there is no need to forcibly develop them.

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

As for the 500 reinforcements sent to Haiti and 500 sets of rhinoceros leather armor, Marin does not intend to change this plan, but implements it as usual. After all, the resistance army of the native Carlos is sure to be wiped out. Otherwise, the colonial plan cannot continue.

Regardless, Santo Domingo is a great springboard. With a foothold here, the colonial army can send troops around to arrest the population, and then conduct isolation and observation in Santo Domingo, check their health, and then send them to ships in the port and transport them to places where they are needed.

In fact, in addition to Savannah’s cotton plantation requiring labor, Cuba’s sugar cane plantations, sisal plantations, and rubber plantations also required a lot of labor.

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

According to Tara's estimate, there are about 200,000 to 300,000 indigenous people on the island of Cuba. At present, only 100,000 people within tens of thousands of square kilometers near Havana have been conquered by Tara's troops. Among them, all the strong men and strong women were sent by Tara to work in the plantation.

The indigenous people on the island of Cuba are roughly divided into the Guanajada Bayi, the Sibones, the Taino, and some small Indian indigenous tribes.

Among them, the Taino people here and the Taino people on Haiti Island belong to the same family. They originally migrated from Haiti Island, mainly in the east of Cuba Island. Only a small number of Cuban Taino people moved westward to the vicinity of Havana and were conquered by Tara's colonial army.

Although Tara is not very capable, she strictly follows Marin's orders. Although the natives were first subjugated by force and brutality, they were not abused later.

Except for beating those lazy people who refused to work in the beginning, they never abused the native serfs.

Their treatment is not as bad as that of the serfs in Beihai. Because the local resources are too rich and can provide too much food.

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

But Tara was still dissatisfied and planned to ask for more labor. Therefore, when necessary, Marin will also give him some Taino serfs in Haiti. Anyway, the most indispensable thing on the island of Haiti is the population.

...

Of course, not all Taino people are willing to be serfs at ease, and there must be diehards who are more determined to resist. In this regard, Marin's handling method is also simple and rude-not worrying, right? OK, you're disqualified from being a serf!

What? free? nonexistent! You are not allowed to be a serf, but there are other things for you to do-go to mine!

There are also lateritic nickel mines that need to be excavated on the island of Cuba, as well as chromite mines. In the future, maybe there will be gold and silver mines. Or, it could be sent to Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island to mine coal...

In short, the fate of mining is much worse than that of being a serf. After all, although serfs worked hard, at least they still had slack. That is to say, during spring plowing and autumn harvest, serfs were busier. As for the mining slaves, it is even more sad. They go down to mine every day, and they are so busy every day that they have no free time. Moreover, working underground is life-threatening...

That is to say, Marin's simple and crude point of view is-to farm if you are convinced, to mine if you are not convinced!

As a farmer, you have to be honest. Those who are dishonest will be sent to mining. Those who refuse to dig, the overseer's whip will teach you to be a man...

In this way, the serfs are all honest people, so they don't have to worry about accidents on the scattered farms. Although there are many thorns in the mine, but the mine labor site is concentrated, as long as enough soldiers and horses are deployed to control the thorns, they can keep them from making 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, and it is relatively comfortable. The real danger of coal mining is working in wells. After all, it is easy to encounter a gas explosion or something when going down the well. Moreover, it is easy to encounter toxic gases.

Therefore, for mining, Marin also has a distinction-normal and honest miners are mainly responsible for surface mining or shallow mine mining. As for going down the deep well, send those thorns down...

...

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

As it was written, Marin glanced at the document about receiving 2000 Mao Gonggong that he had just dug out...

"2000 people...how should we arrange..."

The plan has changed, and the arrangements of these eunuchs have to be adjusted. Originally, Marin planned to dispatch an army of tens of thousands to directly conquer the entire island. But in the end I gave up. It's not that I can't beat it, but it's too time-consuming!

If the 1 million people are concentrated in one city, it will be easy to handle. Just send 10,000 troops to attack the city. If it is conquered, just take the people away.

However, these 1 million Taino people are scattered on 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 mountains on the island are rugged and the roads are very difficult to walk. If you want to conquer the whole island, fighting is definitely no problem, but marching is a big problem. Moreover, it is easy to cause a large number of soldiers to become acclimatized, get sick or even die.

Previously, Marin also thought about simplicity, but did not expect specific difficulties. Now, thinking about it, I had to give up my previous plan and adjust the plan.

This adjustment, it seems that 2000 Mao Gonggong is too much...

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

"Why don't you just put the 2,000 Eunuchs Mao into the arresting team?" Marin thought for a while, and then sent someone to order to bring all the 2,000 Eunuchs Mao over to have a look.

As a result, it turned out that the 2,000 Mao Gonggongs were all strong and strong, and looked very powerful. Apparently, this is a good coolie...

However, it is obviously impossible to equip them with rhinoceros leather armor, it is 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 Gonggongs with shields and train them all to become shield players. With shields, these eunuchs can also withstand the bows and arrows of the indigenous resistance army to a certain extent. In addition, on them, Marin decided to let them wear double-layer mahjong mat armor, which is wood chip armor. Although you can't block the recurve bow, you can still block the earth bow and arrow.

Then, the 2,000 Mao Gonggongs holding shields will become the assistants of the 500 expeditionary forces and help them catch people. When it's time for isolation and inspection, I can also help to check the Taino woman to see if she has syphilis...
