If it were before, Marin would not have dared to send troops to the tropical areas casually, so as not to cause disagreement among the people and even non-combat reductions.
However, since Kong Tai transported betel nut back from the Ming Dynasty, everything has been different, and he no longer has to worry about tropical miasma. Although chewing betel nut is dangerous for oral cancer, he has to do it, and it is actually fine. Moreover, the soldiers sent to the colonies did not stay for a lifetime, but were transferred back after staying for a few years. Or, they were transferred to other places.
Marin covets Haiti Island, mainly because he is attracted by the large population of Haiti Island. After all, there are millions of people, how many land can he grow...
In fact, Marin had such a plan - to capture a group of Taino people from Haiti and send them to the New York colony to be serfs!
The Tainos were not as fierce as the Indians in the North American jungle and relatively mild. This time the accident was mainly caused by an indigenous person named Carlos who had learned Spanish craftsmanship and military command methods. Without this person, the local indigenous people would have been a mess of sand and could not become a climate.
Moreover, these Tylenols are not very suitable for farming and living, unlike those black slaves. The Tylenols on Haiti Island have actually started to grow sweet potatoes and cassava. The sweet potatoes brought back to Europe by Columbus were obtained from the Tylenols on Haiti Island.
In other words, these Tylenol people actually know how to farm. Although their skills are average, they can still farm normally as long as they teach them step by step.
In addition, if these Tylenols, who were relatively mild among the Indians, were brought to the New York colony, the Tylenols would be more restrained and dared not do anything randomly after leaving their familiar hometown.
Generally speaking, most of the people who resisted colonization were local indigenous people. However, foreign households would join the colonists. Just like when the Dutch colonized Indonesia, they relied heavily on Chinese immigrants in the early days. Chinese immigrants began to be very loyal to the Dutch colonists, and worked hard for them to exploit local indigenous people.
However, the Dutch later discovered that Chinese immigrants were too smart and had too strong ability to gather wealth. Therefore, they became jealous and joined forces with the indigenous people to persecute the Chinese.
Of course, the Taino people on Haiti Island are definitely not as smart as the Chinese. Therefore, Marin was not worried that they would turn their backs. As long as these Taino people were full and gave some salted fish and other things to improve their lives from time to time, Marin felt that they were unlikely to resist.
You know, the Spanish colonists were so cruel. They had been colonizing Haiti for decades, but they had never seen the Taino people resisted very fiercely. Marin was gentle and was willing to let people eat enough. Who would risk their lives to resist?
To put it bluntly, Marin's plan is to convert the 1 million Tylenol people on Haiti Island into their own serfs|!
This is 1 million people! The lifespan of the natives is short, and the proportion of strong men is higher, and it is estimated that there will be more than 300,000. In addition to those middle-aged women, they are also excellent labor force!
...
Before, the reason why Marin did not attack the Taino people on Haiti was because he was worried that these Taino people would be as unlucky as they had been infected by the Europeans after they were infected with smallpox.
In addition, the Tylenol people on the island have a high transmission rate of syphilis. If you contact them rashly, you will easily get infected...
"What should I do? It seems that the problem of syphilis cannot be solved for a while..."
Marin suddenly realized that if he wanted to control Haiti Island at once, it seemed that there would be too many troops. The 500 soldiers in rhino leather armor sent this time could only guarantee to defeat Carlos's rebel army. But if he wanted to control the entire island, this was far from enough...
At this time, Marin suddenly remembered a report he saw a few days ago...
...
From a pile of documents, Malin found the not-so-important document - a strong Eunuch Mao with a total of 2,000 people arrived...
This 2000-year-old Mao was prepared by Marin to check the syphilis infection of women on Haiti Island. After all, checking for syphilis requires checking the following. If a normal young man with a strong spirit, he might not be able to help but something happen. At that time, a new syphilis patient may be born...
But this group of Mao Gong, who had been castrated by the Crimeans, was different. They had no desires and would not have any problems in the middle of checking whether the Tylenol woman had syphilis.
According to the original plan, Marin planned to send an army to conquer the entire Haiti Island. Then, he controlled the people on the island, and then sent the 2,000-year-old father-in-law to check the syphilis situation for the women on the island...
...
But now, Marin suddenly changed his mind...
What new ideas did Marin have? Before, he planned to develop Haiti Island, but the 1 million people on Tu Island. But now, Marin suddenly figured out - since it is Tu Island's population, why should we develop Haiti Island? Just arrest it and send it to other colonies?
Moreover, it is easier to manage to capture the local Tylenol people in other colonies. After all, leaving the local area, most people will be so panicked and become cautious, so how dare they explode the thorns?
...
In addition, there is another important point, that is, Marin is not in enough staff to control the entire island's population at once, and it is difficult to complete the inspection of syphilis carrying of the island's residents at once.
However, if it is changed to plundering people, then all this is not a problem!
First of all, plundering people requires relatively few people. Even a few hundred people is enough. At worst, you can bring back the population of a village every time you go out. Although a few hundred people are small, the number of times is too large, and the number of times is too small.
Moreover, a very important point is that if there are only a few hundred people at a time, then it will be simple to check the syphilis carrying status, and there is definitely enough manpower!
Then, the healthy Tylenol people who passed the examination were sent to colonies such as New York as serfs. However, those who failed the examination were infected with syphilis... naturally, they were sent to deserted islands to give them hunting tools and let them fend for themselves...
Only by isolating the source of these syphilis from normal people can normal people not be harmed. Moreover, those who have been proven healthy will not be infected with syphilis after they arrive in the new colonial area, which is very safe.
In this way, the problem of syphilis in local people is solved and the pressure of insufficient staff is perfectly solved. In addition, we can also take the opportunity to plant cowpox to prevent them from being destroyed by smallpox in the future.
Marin had already planned to send 100,000 Tylenol men and women to the New York colony first. Not to mention anything else, the later Pennsylvania area was developed first. The 200,000 young men and women would be sent to cut trees first. So many young and strong laborers would definitely greatly improve the efficiency of cutting trees. Then, the local area will be developed into farmland, producing grain and feeding livestock.
As for the original German immigrants, some strong men will be drawn and militia will be organized to supervise these Tylenols and prevent them from escaping.
In this way, with the addition of 200,000 young men and women, at least 3 million acres of arable land can be developed and a lot of cattle and sheep can be raised. At that time, Malin will not have too much food and food in his hands...
In addition, Marin also planned to immigrate tens of thousands of Tainos to the Savannah Colony to assist the colonial forces there and develop the Savannah Colony.
The Savannah Colony is different from the New York Colony. It has a subtropical climate, which can not only plant wheat peanuts, but also grow economic crops such as cotton. If Marin wants to promote cotton fabrics, as well as cotton coats and quilts in the future, it must expand cotton planting in the Savannah Colony.
So, it seems that the Savannah colonies have a greater demand for Tylenol serfs…
