Magellan has a rich resume and was born in a declining knight family in Porto, northern Portugal. At the age of 10, his father tried to use his connections to send him to the palace to serve. Later, he also served as the waiter of the Queen of Portugal.
But unfortunately, in Europe, the identity of such a queen is useless. Because in ancient Europe, bloodline was more important. Because of its low origins, Magellan did not become famous. It can only be said that he got a little more opportunities than others.
Later, Magellan was incorporated into the Portuguese National Maritime Office, and later went on an expedition to India with Portugal's first Indian Governor Almeda. Later, he participated in the Battle of the Diwu. However, he was a low-level grassroots officer. Later, when he returned to his country, due to a shipwreck, Magellan was promoted to captain when dealing with things properly...
In other words, before that, Magellan had not even made a position as captain, and was just an inconspicuous little person. It was precisely because of this that Magellan was unwilling to give in and tried every opportunity to make a name for himself. He asked Manuel I to lead a team to sail around the world, which was actually to gain fame. Of course, he also had a certain level of navigation and a spirit of adventure.
Now, Magellan is 35 years old and has achieved nothing yet. He has not even won the title. He is still the title of "noble child" and has not yet become a noble.
Moreover, in this time and space, Magellan was even worse than in history. In history, when Magellan returned from India at the age of 30, the ship was trapped on a deserted island because his ship was hit by a rock. Magellan stood up and commanded everyone to overcome the difficulties together, and was later promoted to the captain.
Due to Marin's intervention, the history of this time and space has undergone great changes. The original Battle of Diu became the Battle of Calicat. Moreover, it also changed from command of Almeda to command of Spanish commander Da Costa.
Therefore, Magellan's contribution to this time and space was much smaller than in history. When he returned to China, he did not encounter the accident that further caused him to hit the rocks, and in the end he could not even get in. When he left the Portuguese Navy, he was only a second lieutenant, which was extremely miserable...
Fortunately, as a child of a noble family, he was sent to the palace as a servant since he was a child. Magellan has a wide range of knowledge and has read a lot of books when serving in the palace and learned a lot of navigation knowledge.
In order to make a fortune, Magellan suddenly thought - since Columbus and Americo could make a fortune, why can't I learn from them to do a big voyage?
Don't think about exploring Indian routes, but I can do a global voyage...
Magellan and his friends are supporters of the theory of "the earth is spherical", hoping to verify this. Moreover, if he could be the first to verify this theory, it would bring him great reputation. Then, fame, title...
Then he sold his plan to Manuel I. Unfortunately, Manuel I had already obtained the Indian route and did not want to find any other route. Because this route was enough to eat enough to Portugal.
Therefore, the Portuguese King Manuel I had no interest in supporting Magellan's adventure...
Originally, Magellan planned to try his luck in Spain. However, he suddenly remembered that Columbus and Americo, the two most famous navigators in Europe, both seem to be in the North Sea Kingdom. The great Duke of the North Sea Kingdom, Marin, seems to attach great importance to the great voyage... Maybe, can you fool it?
Moreover, Marin happened to be promoted to the King of America recently and must be in a good mood. Maybe, can he fool himself into investing while he is in a good mood?
Then, Magellan changed his plan to go to Seville, Spain, and tried his luck first...
He didn't know that his decision made him lose a marriage and the opportunity to win the honor of the first global navigation...
...
Marin naturally would not support Magellan in doing a global voyage because it was unnecessary. You should know that Americo had already set off from Panama, crossed the Pacific Ocean, and arrived at Taiwan. In other words, Magellan's adventure was meaningless.
However, Marin did not want to let Magellan go. Because if Magellan left the North Sea Kingdom, he would definitely go to Spain to seek sponsorship. If he received sponsorship in Spain and then completed a global voyage...
Not to mention anything else, the vastness of the American land will definitely be exposed to Europeans!
After all, Marin remembers that Magellan's route was along Brazil, Argentina, and until the Strait of Magellan, before turning west and heading to the Pacific Ocean.
At that time, it goes without saying that the situation along the coast of Brazil will be exposed all of a sudden. If the Spaniards learn about the vastness of South America and the relatively mild climate in Argentina (compared to Brazil), they will definitely be tempted.
Especially the estuary of La Plata, it is definitely a very suitable area for development...
So, after thinking about it, Marin felt that he must not let Magellan go to the Spanish. Otherwise, the situation in the Americas would definitely be exposed.
For a moment, Marin was murderous and decided to kill Magellan. However, it would seem like a pity if a historical celebrity like Magellan was killed like this...
So Marin decided to test Magellan's attitude first. He decided to win over Magellan with generous treatment first. If the other party accepts the recruitment, just forget it. After all, he also needs a lot of sailing talents.
However, if the other party insists on doing a global sailing, don’t blame yourself for being ruthless…
Originally, after Magellan was voyage on the globe, he caused panic among Portugal's King Manuel I. Even Manuel I planned to send someone to assassinate Magellan to eliminate future troubles, but it was not successful.
Thinking of Manuel I's actions in history, Marin suddenly lost the burden in his heart - you see, the Portuguese monarchs do this, I'm not an exception, right...
...
With a complicated mood, Marin, the time traveler, summoned Magellan, the sailor in history...
Unlike the big boss Marin imagined, Magellan was very humble when he saw Marin and looked flattering and flattering. This attitude made Marin very useful and was a little fluttering. Then, he remembered that he seemed to be the big boss now, and Magellan was still a horse-boy who had not made a fortune...
...
When Magellan picked up the globe, promoted his "earth round theory" theory to Marin, and asked to lead the team to explore the global route, Marin frowned...
Magellan's heart skipped a beat and said to himself - it won't fail again, right?
He thought Marin looked down on his plan, but he didn't know that Marin was thinking about how to stop his great ideas...
