The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 919 North American Bison
Strictly speaking, Marin's approach is very inhumane. The ancient northern nomads were also called "prairie barbarians" because of the common use of this "prairie jungle law". But anyway, this is indeed a quick way to grow, simple, fast, and effective.
The population under Marin's rule was still too small after all. With a population of more than one million, occupying a corner of the Americas is not enough, let alone annexing the entire Americas? If it weren't for the monogamy stipulated in Christianity, Marin even planned to buy Mao girls madly, and equip each Beihai man with 10 Mao girls, so that they can make people like crazy. After more than ten years, the population of Beihai Kingdom can expand several times. times.
However, this is unrealistic, Marin does not want to mix in Europe
So Marin was going to -- not in Europe, I can't do that in America?
If there are not enough women, the empire of robbing Indians has a population of 20 million, more than Japan, and the Aztec Empire has tens of millions of people. As long as 2 million women are snatched from the You Empire and the Aztec Empire and they are all pregnant, there will be millions more young men in ten years.
Moreover, European whites in this era are more discriminatory than yellow races like Indians. Because, at this moment, Europeans are not yet confident. As can be seen from the young Indian girls on Columbus XX Haiti Island, Europeans do not reject yellow women. As for the lofty mentality of later generations of Europeans, it is purely arrogance born after hanging the whole world. But in this day and age, Europeans clearly haven't developed that arrogant mentality. Moreover, in the original history, the Portuguese also imported a large number of women from Japan and shipped them to Europe to engage in the sex industry. Many Japanese poor people in the Warring States Period had no money to buy weapons and equipment such as iron cannons, so they exchanged weapons with women and Portuguese businessmen.
Marin planned to gather more than 200,000 young adults from Germany to go to America, and then plunder more than 2 million women from the You Empire and the Aztec Empire. And then, let these women get pregnant
In this way, even if only half of them are boys, after ten years, there will be a million young Germans. Then, Marin militarized them and trained one million armed German youths. Even if they couldn't occupy the entire America, it would be enough to control the coasts of some fertile regions. In this way, it can also prevent other countries from robbing it.
In the face of an army of millions of young men, no country in Europe will be able to resist
Moreover, the women imported from the Yu Empire and the Aztec Empire did not only have reproductive functions. Usually, they can also help with farm work and sheep herding. In this way, productivity can also be increased.
Of course, in the face of two or three million people, the source of food will also become a huge pressure. So, Marin decided to expand the Newfoundland fishing grounds and stockpile enough salted fish. At the same time, enough farmers will be introduced from Yuhe Japan to help cultivate more land to provide enough food.
In addition, the prairie in central North America will also become an important base for the Marin population.
why? Because on the prairie in central North America, there are tens of millions of bison. In the early days, with such a population, Marin must have been too late to supply millions of people with food. Therefore, Marin intends to simply let tens of millions of buffalo be hunted for hunting. As long as there is enough salt-cured meat, there will be no shortage of food.
What? You say catching bison as cattle? You must not understand the character of the bison. The North American bison is powerful, fast (can run up to 60 kilometers per incline), and has a relatively ferocious temperament. It is not suitable for farming cattle. Otherwise, the farmer will be killed by the oxen.
So, Marin's attitude towards bison is - kill the bulls and keep only the cows
Cows can be bred with European cattle to produce a new breed ♀ breeding cattle, which will be called "Piflo cattle" in later generations. Moreover, the original method of crossbreeding was to bred the bulls of European beef cattle and the females of American bison. Of course, in the beginning, there were attempts to cross Bison bulls with European cows, which produced very few offspring. Later, in turn, cross-breeding European bulls with bison cows,
But it was successful.
There are a large number of bison, and the base of cows is also very large. Therefore, this kind of reproduction is very promising.
Moreover, an important characteristic of the North American wild is that cows and males are grouped together, and bulls are grouped separately. Only during the breeding season do bulls go to the herd of cows.
In this way, it is easy to distinguish when hunting - as long as it is not the breeding season, there are cows with schools; bulls are without schools. Then, hunt down the schoolless bulls as hard as you can
A strong North American bison bull, weighing up to one ton, can also obtain several hundred kilograms of beef after being killed. It is marinated and can be eaten for half a year.
So, in the case of lack of food in the early days of colonization, Marin could let people hunt bison to get enough food. They hunt bison bulls on the one hand, and get enough bison cows by driving and trapping on the other. Then, taking advantage of the huge base of cows, European hornless bulls were introduced for breeding to obtain hornless Piflo cattle. One bull can be bred with many cows, which can also get more strong Piflo cattle to alleviate the shortage of farming cattle.
Moreover, Marin did not need the settlers to hunt many bison, mainly to survive the few years when the settlers were most short of food in the early days. When there is a stable source of food production in the medium term, there is no need for large-scale hunting of bison.
In addition, it should be noted that the North American bison distribution area is also very close to the Aztec Empire with a population of tens of millions. After acquiring the women from the Aztec Empire, they could bring them to the North American prairie to help herd sheep, while the immigrant men used the beef of the hunted bison to support these women and their filial piety.
As for the women who were plundered from the You Empire, they must have been sent to the Pampas grassland, after all, it is also close to the You Empire. The prey on the Pampas grassland is not as rich as the North American prairie. So it's better to grow potatoes over there. Anyway, those women in the You Empire are also accustomed to growing potatoes. Potato yields are high, and they can support people very well.
In this way, relying on potatoes in the south and bison in the north to utilize natural resources, Marin can obtain two major population breeding centers.
There are many kinds of wild animals on the pampas grassland, but there is no excellent variety that can provide a lot of meat like the bison. Therefore, there needs to be some potatoes planted there, otherwise, the food will not be enough. Fortunately, the output of potatoes is very high, and the You Empire is a country that is used to growing potatoes, so the You women will definitely grow potatoes.
The conditions of the North American prairie were much better. Before the European colonists arrived, there were almost 60 to 70 million bison on the North American prairie. Even if Marin needs to feed 2 million people, it would be enough to kill more than a million head a year. Compared with its huge number, this does not affect the survival of bison. Anyway, the bisons themselves die so many every year.
The colonists can hunt bison while hunting and driving other carnivores♀ to ensure that there are enough bison. And when the population stabilizes and there are enough men to farm food, Marin will stop hunting bison to avoid waste.
In the original history, after obtaining the muskets provided by the Europeans, the Indians in the western part of North America launched uncontrolled hunting in order to obtain more hides and trade with the white people, resulting in the slaughter of the North American bison. However, hunting bison for meat alone has little effect on the number of bison.
Of course, cowhide is also a good thing. It can be used to make leather armor, leather bags, leather shoes, and leather clothing. It is precisely because of the huge demand for cowhide that the Indians in western North America started killing buffaloes, which almost led to the extinction of buffaloes.
Marin will not make this mistake again. In addition to hunting enough bison in the early stage to solve the problem of immigration rations, when the food supply is stable, he will control the hunting of bison and implement a hunting license system to avoid indiscriminate killing. .
The key to hunting bison is the horse and the shotgun. Without a horse, you can't catch up with a buffalo that is running away (the buffalo can go up to 60 mph, without a horse chasing an egg); and without a shotgun, it is difficult for the Indian bow and arrow to break through the buffalo's hide defense. Therefore, North American wildpe is being hunted to extinction. After the Indians in western North America acquired horses and hunting guns, as long as Marin strictly controls horses and hunting guns, they can control the hunting of bison and make it possible to produce long-term benefits. rather than being killed all at once
