Bringing back tens of thousands of people and bringing back hundreds of thousands of people are two completely different concepts. Bringing back tens of thousands of people only requires a silver mine in the Harz Mountain to completely absorb it. Hundreds of thousands of people must be distributed in a very wide area and completely change the population structure.
In fact, when Marin brought back these hundreds of thousands of people, he did not ask them to replace the German farmers now. In other words, what they replaced was not the current German farmers in the North Sea, but the future German farmers in the North Sea.
It's a bit confusing to say this, but in other words, it's clear at a glance - they are replacing children who are currently receiving education in schools.
These children who receive regular primary school education in China are all famous students in this era. If they are put back to farm, it will be a waste of resources. You must know that in this era, the literacy rate is astonishingly low. If you dare to put primary school students as serfs, you will be punished by God.
In that era, education was popularized by the whole nation, and it was nine years of compulsory education. Primary school students were too low, and junior high school students dared not say that they were educated. Because there were high school students and college students on it. But in this era, primary school students were cultural people.
Even in this era, many town mayors and sheriffs were illiterate. Many times, they needed help from a monastery, and a low-level priest was hired to help handle the documentary copy. After all, the priests were all studying. In other words, the most literate rate in Europe was the monastery, almost everyone knew literacy, and they knew Latin. Not to mention the town, even the British ministers in the seal were served as bishops.
However, many priests are too pious to religion and do not know how to be flexible and flexible. Many times, they ignore the law at all and directly compare with the Bible when dealing with government affairs, which is quite casual and willful.
Of course, we cannot expect too much from those priests. Because the only textbook they study culture is the Bible. As for other disciplines, they are spontaneously studied by the priests themselves, and no one forced them to learn it. However, priests who only study the Bible can imagine the ability to do things.
The primary school students in Beihai Country are different. They not only have to study the Bible, but also learn mathematics and law. Moreover, everyone also has to learn to write essays. The most commonly used format for essays is official documents.
In this way, after graduation, these primary school students could write official documents, know how to settle accounts, and understand the law, and were definitely top medieval students. Even in the universities run by churches in this era, some poor students recommended to attend the school may not be able to catch up with these primary school students.
...
Marin can allow these primary school students to become craftsmen apprentices and become craftsmen in the future. They also accept these primary school students and become soldiers or lower-level officials in the future. The only thing they cannot accept is that they go back to farm. Because this is a huge waste of talents!
You should know that education is a national resource, educated talents, and also a national resource (human resources). Many modern people do not understand why most of the things I learned in college are useless. In fact, they do not understand that universities are offered by the state, and are used to cultivate and select talents for the country. The university does not allow you to make a fortune after you study, but is only responsible for helping the country cultivate the talents they need. Among them, there are "scrap products". If you think what you learned in college is useless, congratulations, you are a failed product in the national education system...
Of course, don't give up, this only means that you are not suitable for that system. However, you can choose to go your own path and suit your own path. Everyone has their own talents. As long as you find something you are good at, and it is needed by society, you will always go out of your own path. However, if you say you are good at eating, drinking, and having fun... well, when I didn't say it...
...
In Beihai Country, all the children of the serfs went to receive primary school education. After the education was completed, they were asked to go back to farm, which was a waste of talent.
However, if these children don’t go back to farm, who will produce food to support everyone? Therefore, this requires someone to take over. Obviously, these Ross people from the Grand Duchy of Moscow are very suitable serfs...
Only when someone takes over the job of farming can Marin feel at ease to arrange children who have received primary school education to military and political or craftsmen positions.
If the population abducting failed this time, no matter how unhappy Marin was, he would have to send a large number of children who had received primary school education back to farm. Because if no one farmed, everyone would starve to death.
Therefore, this war is not only about interests, but also directly related to the employment direction of the next generation of Beihai Kingdom. Once no one takes over the burden of farming, industrialization will not be promoted.
...
In addition to these Ross people, Marin is now planning to take action against Mexico. Because he knows a news - it is said that the Aztec Empire in Mexico killed tens of thousands of people every year to hold sacrifices for living people. Some of the prisoners of war were captured after the failure of the tribal war.
And being able to become a warrior is all the young and strong people of various tribes. Every year, killing tens of thousands of young and strong people, Malin felt a toothache after hearing this - MMPs, I am overwhelmed by the lack of young and strong people, and even started a war. How come you kill tens of thousands of young and strong people every year! I have 100,000 MMPs to talk about...
According to spy reports, 29 years ago, in 1487, more than 20,000 people were killed in a single sacrifice, most of whom were young and strong...
Seeing this information, Marin no longer had a toothache, but her whole body was in pain, especially her analges...
He had thought of using peaceful means to let the Aztec Empire help him produce silver. But now, he realized that if he did not send troops, the Aztec Empire would continue to kill. Tens of thousands of young and strong people every year, and in 20 years they could kill more than 200,000 young and strong people...
It is said that the Spanish colonists are cruel, but the Aztec Empire itself is extremely cruel!
Moreover, the most serious thing is that this data is only the figures provided by the three Aztec Empire city-states, Tenochtitlan, Deskoko and Trakopan. As for the figures of other small city-states and tribes in Mexico, they are not within the statistics range at all. It is said that in addition to the Aztec Empire, there are also many tribes in the area who are popular to kill prisoners of war to make sacrifices for human sacrifices. In total, at least more than 20,000 people in Mexico are killed every year, most of them are young and strong...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No wonder this empire has not been able to expand Mexico for so long. It turns out that it is because of insufficient manpower. Moreover, they killed the young and strong themselves!" Marin was deeply moved.
In fact, the Aztec Empire's act of killing tens of thousands of prisoners of war every year also caused panic among the surrounding tribes. Because, once the Aztec Empire lacked sacrifices, it would send troops to plunder the surrounding tribes and then kill the prisoners of war as sacrifices. No one wanted to die. Therefore, when Cortes landed, many opposing tribes of the Aztec Empire joined Cortes' coalition.
Of course, Cortez is really the son of luck. Because the year he sent troops was really a coincidence...
In the myth of the Aztec Empire, the time when the White God returned to the world was set to 1519. Cortez happened to land in Mexico that year and came in recklessly. Then, the Aztec Empire basically had no firm resistance. With the support of some tribes who did not want to be killed, the Aztec Empire was successfully destroyed.
If we really want to send troops to the Aztec Empire, it is obvious that 1519 was a very suitable year. In that year, we would be subject to the least resistance.
However, Marin did not intend to destroy the Aztec Empire directly, but just hoped to control the temples of the Aztec Empire by sending troops. Then, they changed their bad customs of killing living people and sacrificing.
Moreover, in addition to using force, Marin also planned to let the messengers sent to pretend to be White God and send oracles to stop killing living people and sacrifice. However, these prisoners of war cannot be wasted.
For example... Since all the messengers of my White God have come, you can give all the prisoners of war captured to the White God Messengers to take away. Then, the White God will reward you with a lot of things...
In this way, Marin could use the Aztec Empire to obtain tens of thousands of young and strong people every year. 10,000 young and strong people can plant hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Tens of thousands of young and strong people every year, and it doesn’t cost much. You only need to give some rare materials that the Aztecs have never seen before. This kind of business is not too cost-effective...
...
Of course, it was impossible to completely stop the Aztecs from offering sacrifices. Therefore, Marin planned to learn from ancient China, use pig heads instead of human heads and become sacrifices in temples.
In the Shang Dynasty in China, the sacrifice of living people was particularly popular. Oracle bone inscriptions on bronze ware describe the cruel plot of sacrifice of living people. Although many people complained about King Zhou in the Zhou Dynasty, one thing is certain, that is, the Zhou Dynasty abolished the cruel practice of sacrifice of living people in the Shang Dynasty and changed it to sacrifice three animals, that is, three animals of pig, cattle and sheep were used to replace the sacrifice of living people. This practice is undoubtedly a huge historical progress.
There is a saying in the historical community that Indians are descendants of the Shang Dynasty, and Marin thinks it makes sense. Because not only are jade cultures similar, but living people sacrifices are also the same. However, Marin personally believes that the Indians were not all descendants of the Shang Dynasty. The early Indians probably came through the Bering Strait. In Mexico, there were probably a group of Yin and Shang Dynasty people who later came to the east. Then, they brought jade culture and the custom of living people sacrifices. But for some reason, Mexico actually passed on the backward culture of living people sacrifices for 2,500 years.
For example, the Inca Empire in South America did not have the culture of living sacrifice. Perhaps it was the culture brought by descendants of the Shang Dynasty, which did not spread there, but only spread in Mexico.
However, among the Shang people who came from the east, there were probably no craftsmen in prospecting and metallurgy. Therefore, they did not bring bronze smelting technology. Therefore, the huge Aztec Empire had to use obsidian to make weapons. The jade culture was probably brought by the Shang nobles who came from the east.
After all, the legendary Shang people in the Shang Dynasty who traveled to Mexico in the east seemed to be the army sent by King Zhou to attack the Dongyi. They did not think of going abroad before going to the exile. Therefore, they did not bring craftsmen looking for copper ores and making bronze ware. Otherwise, American civilization would not have been like this. Moreover, there were probably not many Shangs who arrived in Mexico alive. Otherwise, the civilization empire would have been established long ago. It was estimated that a small number of people drifted to Mexico alive and taught some things to the locals. Just like the fleet of the Yuan Dynasty expedition to Japan, a ship floated to the Queen Charlotte Islands on the west coast of Canada and took root there. However, because most of them were sailors, they did not bring much change to the local area. After all, knowledge was not owned by ordinary people in ancient times.
Marin planned to send troops to escort the fake White God messenger into Tenochitland and control the temple. Then, kill the disobedient ones and then falsely send oracles, saying that they would be sacrificed to three animals in the future, just like the Zhou Dynasty.
As for the problem of not having pigs and sheep in the local area, can Marin provide it with friends? And cows, there are so many North American prairie. However, tens of thousands of prisoners of war are not missing every year. Marin would ask the fake envoys to give a reason - to take them to the place where the White God lives on the sea to sacrifice on the spot... In this way, tens of thousands of young and strong people will be deceived every year...
