Once, Marin planned to let Tara use Huairou to win over the indigenous people on Cuba Island. However, if you do that, it will take too long to be effective without ten or eight years.
Moreover, Tara is not as cunning as Marin and is not very good at fooling people. So Marin now decides to directly and violently conquer Cuba Island.
Of course, Marin was not a cruel person. The violence he used was not the massacre policy of the Spanish. The Tylenol people on Cuba were still relatively mild and not very warlike, unlike those who cannibalize the Caribbeans.
Therefore, Marin's principle is to avoid it as much as possible if there is fewer deaths. Just defeat the other party. Then, Marin also needs these Tylenol people to help him grow sugarcane.
After conquering these Tylenols, Marin planned to kill only those leaders so that the Tylenols would have no leader. Then, Marin would break up the original Tylenols’ tribes based on family units to prevent them from merging together.
But afterwards, while Marin asked them to help farm, he would also provide them with enough food. For example, enough rice, and after sugarcane was planted, the sugar produced would also be provided to the Tylenols. As for other tropical fruits such as bananas, pineapples, coconuts, etc., they could be used as food for the Tylenols. As long as their lives were better than before, and the original tribe was broken up and the original leader was also dead, why did the Tylenols rebel?
Besides, even if they rebel, they are not afraid. Marin has a powerful army in his hands...
For the more than 300 musketeers who were chosen to go to Cuba, Marin equipped them all with expensive clockwork muskets. This kind of musket does not use a fuse, and is very suitable for the climate of the tropical rainforest. If you change to a fuse gun, the humid climate there will be easily extinguished.
In addition, Marin would also agree to equip them with "mahjong mat" armor, which is covered with iron sheets on the outside of the wooden piece armor to enhance protection. Such protective gear is enough to deal with indigenous soldiers who do not even have metal weapons. Those sword and shield soldiers also use "mahjong mat" armor. Moreover, the shields in the sword and shield are directly placed on ordinary wooden shields, and even iron sheets are not needed. Because this is enough to resist the stone weapons of the Taino people.
Of course, Marin was unwilling to use this violent attack model all. Marin was willing to try peaceful means.
This is not Marin's own conjecture, but a ready-made example...
Haider's younger brother Wiltz handled his relationship with the local indigenous people in Moa, Cuba. Wiltz often invited local indigenous leaders to have dinner at the mines, and went directly to the Chinese chefs given to him by Marin, and enjoyed local tribes with good wine and vegetables. This directly led to the local tribes who took the initiative to send labor to help Wiltz dig red clay nickel ore. Of course, they did not suffer any losses. Wiltz would pay the indigenous men who helped mine food and salt. Especially salt, it was very popular among local indigenous people.
In the end, the chief of the tribe with the best relationship with Wilts directly stayed at the mine base in Wilts and refused to leave. He ate and drank every day and even married his daughter to Wilts... Unfortunately, Wilts had a wife, and the Catholics were not allowed to marry two wives, so he had to refuse...
However, this tribe with good relationship with Wilts was almost annexed by Wilts. Why? Because their chiefs came to eat and drink all day long, and sent all the male laborers in the tribe to mine. As a result, no one in the tribe hunted.
However, the food provided by Wilts to them was not less than the harvest of hunting. It can be said that they had to insist on helping Wilts mining, so their tribe would not lack food and would not starve people to death. Moreover, the salt quota was still sufficient.
Therefore, now this tribe basically lives next to the mine, and the original villages have been abandoned directly. They have now formed an employment relationship with Wilts, which is equivalent to being annexed by Wilts.
...
Influenced by Wiltz's behavior, Marin believes that not all the Taino tribes need to be conquered by force. Sometimes, it is also possible to try to corrode and win over.
For example, Wiltz's approach was very good. At the beginning, for his sake, he was Haider's younger brother, Marin provided him with a Chinese chef to solve his food problem. As a result, Wiltz used the chef directly, using delicious braised pork, sweet and sour fish, etc., and enough wine, to directly corrode the leaders of several nearby tribes, and now they all became "cooperation units". Wiltz's attitude was - as long as there were enough male laborers in a village to help him mine, their chief could come to him for free to eat and drink...
Where have the chiefs living under the food and clothing line seen the delicious braised pork, sweet and sour fish and various stir-fry dishes? With the big buckets of German stout beer, these chiefs were so excited. In order to satisfy their desires, they directly sent the male laborers from the clan to the mine to help mine. However, they often came to Wilts under the name of "talking about things", eating big fish and meat every day, drinking small wine, and not giving up until they get drunk...
...
In view of this, Marin decided to mobilize several Chinese chefs, bring a boat full of seasonings and ingredients, and a cooking pot, and rush to the Havana Castle in Tara to help Tara hold a banquet.
Cape Breton Island can provide enough salt, and there is also a lot of apple cider vinegar in Europe. In addition, sugar has been produced near Havana Castle and ginger has also begun to be planted. Just bring seasoning plants such as onions and garlic, as well as vegetable seeds such as leeks to plant. Then Tara can have endless delicacies to entertain the chiefs.
As long as the chiefs are willing to lead people to help cut trees and open plantations and help plant sugarcane, Tara will directly pay those people enough food. At the same time, they can let the chiefs come to eat and drink every day, and they will not return without getting drunk...
Of course, this is just one of the means to win over. This is carrot. In addition to carrots, there are also big sticks...
If some chiefs just eat and drink, but are unwilling to bring people to work for Tara to grow sugarcane, then they have to consider annexing their tribe by force...
At this time, the 300 musketeers and 300-biting shield soldiers can come in handy...
However, attacking those tribes also requires skills. If you fight hard, you will inevitably suffer casualties. Or you can use opportunistic methods...
When Malin was in school, he studied "Smart Birthday Outline", which was Wu Yong and others who used sweating drugs to numb the powerful general Yang Zhi and robbed the birthday outline. Tara could also use this method to deal with those simple Tylenol people...
If some Taino tribes are willing to surrender for free, then Tara can send people to send a lot of wine and meat to the relevant tribes and invite them to eat and drink.
Anyway, Marin now has a lot of food and brews a lot of wine, so she is not afraid of consumption. At that time, as long as the indigenous soldiers are drunk, the soldiers can enter the field and "picking up the corpse" without having to see blood...
These natives have never drunk alcohol, so they naturally have less alcohol tolerance. At that time, Tara can send out a few people with high alcohol tolerance and directly pour out the strong men of the natives. Then they will do whatever they want. Even if they meet a few natural wine fairies, everyone can go up and hold them down together, and they can still handle it...
...
In short, Marin plans to adopt a diversified strategy, with carrots (food and wine) in one hand and big sticks in the other, striving to conquer the most tribes in the shortest time, laying a solid foundation for the full control of Cuba Island...
