Columbus has been having a very comfortable life recently. Although he is not afraid to go to Las Vegas to find Mao Meilang again, it is still very comfortable and stable to teach a group of intelligent teenagers in the Captain's School.
To be honest, there is no regret for getting to this position and being the title of India's No. 1 Discoverer. The only thing that made him unhappy was that the Portuguese insisted that Da Gama discovered India first. As for why Columbus returned to Europe first? The Portuguese argued that Da Gama "visited many countries" in India, and it took too long to let Columbus take the lead.
Columbus was very unhappy, so he decided to take advantage of the opportunity that Marin knew the specific map and wait until his health was well, and go out again to discover the legendary China so that he could just right his name again.
However, Marin's plan seemed to be to let Americo discover China with him. This made Columbus a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
Recently, Marin thought of a compromise - that is, to explore the Chinese route and let Columbus go. However, the naming rights of the wild continent were handed over to Americo.
In this way, Columbus won the honor of "discovering the No. 1 person in China", while Americo won the naming rights of the Wild Continent. Later, the Wild Continent was called America...
So Marin called Columbus back and discussed this matter with him...
In fact, Marin asked Columbus to explore the Ming Dynasty this time, not the Pacific route, but the Malacca route. After all, the Pacific route is Marin's secret route to make money. If this route is taken, even if Columbus discovers the Ming Dynasty, it cannot be announced to the public. Only the Malacca route can be announced to the public.
Moreover, during this voyage, Marin decided to slap Portugal hard...
How to cheat? It's very simple...
Columbus brought several ships over, among which the other ships were class 250 armed merchant ships or Hoffman-class warships. However, they also brought two Portuguese Calavere sailing ships.
What are these two sailboats used for? Of course they are used to frame Portugal...
Marin planned to let a group of sailors disguised as Portuguese pirates and raised the Portuguese king flag. After arriving on the coast of Ming Dynasty, he first asked the sailors on two Calavellian sailboats to land on the dock and rob the places, creating a bad reputation...
When the Ming Navy appears, let the Calavere sailboats use artillery to sank the warships of the Ming Navy...
In this way, the hatred between the "Portuguese" and the Ming Dynasty became enormous.
After a while, Columbus led the Hoffman-class warship and the 250-class armed merchant ship to appear, and took the Chinese translation to deal with the Ming Dynasty, identified it as the Portuguese ship, and told the Ming Dynasty the Portuguese flag...
After that, the Portuguese really came to the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that the Ming navy's first reaction was to fire...
The confused Portuguese, even if they want to explain, they must have a Chinese translation. At that time, even if they find the route, they will not be accepted by the Ming Dynasty...
Thinking of this, Marin laughed and felt that he was such a genius. With this, Portugal probably would not be able to achieve trade with the Ming Dynasty for a long time. In addition, Europe lacked understanding of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and might have a brain-dead plan like the Spanish King Philip II who wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty with 10,000 or 20,000 people...
If Portugal really does this, Marin will definitely be very happy. In this way, Portugal will not want to do business with the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps, at that time, he can send spies to promote the plan to "conquer the Ming Dynasty" in Portugal and induce Portugal to make the decision to attack the Ming Dynasty?
...
After Columbus arrived, he felt a little unhappy when he heard Marin's arrangement. After all, the wilderness continent was discovered by himself, but he had to be named after the name of Americo.
However, Malin also said that if you obtain the naming rights of the Wild Continent, you must give up the opportunity to explore China, and you can only choose one of the two. Moreover, exploring China can make contributions and be rewarded. However, you have no contribution to obtaining the naming rights of the Wild Continent.
In fact, Marin was equivalent to helping Columbus make a decision. After all, Columbus was very utilitarian. Marin told Columbus that if he completed the mission of exploring the Chinese route, he could upgrade Columbus from the baron's title to two levels to the level of the regular baron. The Baron is also called Baron, and his fief is 2,000 Yugram farmland, which is equivalent to Adler's level. The deputy Baron is 1,500 Yugram farmland. From the Baron, it is 1,000 Yugram farmland, which is Columbus' current title.
With the doubled land and income, and the honor of discovery first, Columbus was finally moved and chose to explore the Chinese route and gave up the naming rights of the wild continent.
You should know that under the command of Marin, it should not be too easy to obtain the credit for this kind of exploration route. Basically, it is just to search for precise coordinates based on the general map. For a great navigator like Columbus, it is simply a gift. Therefore, in the face of the temptation of the title and promotion and the honor of the first discoverer, Columbus surrendered. Although, he knew that the first person to discover India and China might be the ascetic teacher named "Einstein" in Marin. However, the ascetic monk was indifferent to fame and fortune, and it was impossible for him to jump out to compete with him for this honor. Therefore, he could feel ashamed to claim that he was the first discoverer...
After seeing that Columbus finally gave up the naming rights of the Wild Continent, Marlin was actually relieved.
According to his habits in his previous life, he was more accustomed to calling the Wild Continent America. Therefore, he wanted to give Americo a chance to make the name of America the same.
However, this depends on what Columbus means. After all, America was discovered by Columbus. Moreover, Columbus is also the number one sailing general under Marin. If he did not name the Wild Continent as the Columbus Continent and changed it to America, Columbus would definitely not be happy.
However, Marin didn't want America to be called such a strange name as Columbus. In the future, would it be called America as Columbus? - Oh, it sounds so strange...
Therefore, Marinsi thought about it and decided to use the credit for exploring the Chinese route to seduce Columbus and make him voluntarily give up the naming rights of America. He knew that Columbus' weakness was that he was too utilitarian.
So he gave two choices - if he chose to explore the Huaxia route, because of the rough map of Marin, it is very difficult to obtain credit and honor, and it is basically a gift.
Although he chose the naming rights of the Wild Continent, he earned a reputation, but he did not have any benefits. Therefore, Columbus, who was very utilitarian, chose to explore the China route.
In this way, Marin could naturally name the name of the Wild Continent with the name of Americo.
As for Americo's opinion, he was originally a junior in front of Columbus, and his fame was not as good as Columbus. Giving him the naming right of the New World would definitely be enough for him to be happy. Can he still be dissatisfied?
