The Rise of the European Emperor

After making a decision, Marin immediately began to arrange the matter. However, he only told Caesar about using local people to take care of syphilis patients. Marin didn't tell him about dark things like arranging death row prisoners to show the horrors and cutting their tongues. Care must also be taken when training successors. At such a young age, you can show some strategies, but it's best not to show something too scary, so as not to teach the child astray...

The Pope's father-in-law told Marin that because the representatives of several German princes had not yet arrived in Rome, Marin had enough time to make arrangements in advance.

Therefore, Marin directly ordered to go to the prison to find a few death row prisoners who could not write, and put them on a speedboat with a gaff sail on the upper edge. This three-masted slender speedboat is somewhat similar to a clipper ship, only slightly "fatter". It is specially used by the Beihai State to deliver important news and is rarely used.

North-south sailing is rarely downwind, so modern gaff sails such as gaff sails are very suitable for north-south sailing. After the group arrived in Haiti, they directly arranged for these death row prisoners to be infected. After a while, the investigation team almost arrived, just in time to see their miserable side, it would be better for someone to die in front of the investigation team, that would be scary enough...

In short, we must show the horrific diseases of the American colonies to the distinguished members of the investigation team, and make them a little scared. After returning, what they saw and heard. It will become important evidence that Marin did not lie...

...

In fact, without waiting for the members of the investigation team to return to America, someone will testify for Marin. Because, the Amazon expedition is back...

Just the year before, in 1514, the first Amazon expedition returned with the best-selling book Out of the Amazon. Later, Marin thought of an idea—decided to recruit people from other countries to explore the Amazon River Basin in Brazil, let them experience the horror of the Amazon jungle for themselves, and then come back to show their own opinions...Of course, in name, to capture rare and exotic animals ...

Later, Marin selected adventurers to carry out the plan, and sent people to Portugal, Spain, and France to recruit adventurers to set off. In the end, almost four to five hundred people from the three countries joined this adventure team.

Not long after Marin sent a clipper to notify Haiti, the adventure team also returned...

They returned from the base on the island of Tobago. Before that, there were about 497 adventurers in total. However, only 319 survived. Moreover, many of the 319 people who survived were maimed by wild beasts in the Amazon jungle. Some had their legs bitten off by a crocodile, some had their arms broken by a jaguar, some were bitten by a poisonous snake and lost consciousness due to untimely treatment, and some were maimed by cannibal attacks... In the end, all Those who had to come back in full were less than 200 people, not even half of the original total number...

However, they are lucky to come back alive. Because, those 178 people who were unlucky, slept forever in the terrifying Amazon jungle, either died of crocodiles, poisonous snakes and jaguars, or were eaten by piranhas, and were captured and roasted by cannibals food……

In short, the returning team was miserable. However, they also captured 50 crocodiles, 12 jaguars, many unknown giant poisonous snakes, more than 40 piranhas, and 20 cannibals...

The fleet docked in Lisbon for a long time, and even went ashore to show off the captured animals, which caused a huge sensation.

Fortunately, Marin had already arranged to buy a large piece of land in Lisbon and built a huge glass greenhouse.

Just didn't freeze to death these animals from the tropics. Otherwise, with the temperature of this spring, these tropical creatures may freeze to death.

In Lisbon, in the glass greenhouse known as the "tropical zoo", East, the leader of the expedition team, threw a bought pig into a pond where more than 40 piranhas were located in front of everyone. Then, there was a violent tumbling of the water, and the domestic pig, which was still thumping just now, was directly dismembered by more than 40 hungry piranhas, and even the bones were broken, which shows how fierce the snatching was. And the surface of the water was soon dyed red...

This scene frightened many Portuguese noble ladies who watched, they screamed like pigs, while the adventurers who came back alive laughed happily.

Subsequently, more than 50 Portuguese adventurers who survived began to brag about their adventures in the Amazon jungle in taverns in Lisbon. Because what they said was so scary and exciting, they didn't need to pay for the drinks themselves, as long as they stopped and said they were thirsty, someone would pay for them to refill their drinks.

"See? My little finger and ring finger on my left hand were bitten off by a jaguar that suddenly appeared during a jungle expedition. The big guy finally killed the jaguar , I have pity on my two fingers, but they have been chewed to pieces, and I can't connect them anymore..." The speaker was Neo, who was originally a bankrupt businessman in Lisbon. Because I owed a large amount of money and couldn't pay it, I gave up my heart and went to join the Amazon expedition. Because the expedition team gave a high commission, 1 shilling per day.

Although he came back with two broken fingers, he managed to guarantee most of his working capacity. Moreover, the bounty this time is enough for him to pay off his debts, and he can still have a balance to start a small business.

He was lucky, because after he broke two fingers, he rested in the temporary base for more than ten days, and those ten days were precisely the time when the entire expedition encountered the most danger. In just over ten days, 59 members of the expedition died, accounting for one-third of the total loss... This is not counting those unlucky people who lack arms and legs...

At this time, another expedition member just entered the tavern. This expedition member was more unlucky, because his left leg was bitten off by a crocodile...

"Hey, Jose, you're here too! Look, this is my companion, the unlucky Jose. He was bitten by a crocodile and broke his left leg during his expedition. We managed to snatch him back from the crocodile's mouth. ..."

People surrounded Jose, looked at the bitten off left leg, and exclaimed...

"Don't talk about that, gentlemen, whoever buys me a drink, just right, I will also share with you my inner activities when my left leg was bitten by a crocodile..."

"Okay, we're here, bartender, serve Mr. Jose quickly!"

After taking a big sip of beer, Jose smiled and said:

"Let me tell you, when my left leg was bitten by a crocodile, I was so frightened that I couldn't think or speak. But then there was a 'click' from my left leg because of the crocodile's bite. There was a bang, and then there was a great pain—I knew, my left leg was gone. But, it was also a shock to wake me up from the complete encirclement. I started to struggle, and I started to cry for help... The buddies used spears Stabbed hard at the crocodile, but unfortunately the crocodile's skin was too thick to be effective. Only when Anders poked the crocodile's eyes with a spear did he push back the terrible crocodile..."

"Oh—" the crowd exclaimed incomparably...

The same story played out in more than a dozen pubs in Lisbon. Because these more than 50 Portuguese explorers have already received the bounty and are ready to go home. Before going home, they went to the tavern and cheated a lot of drinks by telling their own adventure stories...
