Chapter 324: Grenada

Central America, the Caribbean Sea, this is September 1500. After four months of sailing, the fleet led by Amerigo finally arrived in Grenada.
The Fleet arrived first in Martinique in the Windward Islands, but Amerigo took out the map given by Marin and found that it was not Grenada, so he continued to explore south.
Along the way, Amerigo used the sextant made by Da Vinci and related formulas, as well as high-precision pocket watches, to calculate the latitude and longitude endlessly. With these longitudes and latitudes, if you arrive at the nearby sea area on your next voyage, you only need to calculate the latitude and longitude again, and you can easily correct the course in comparison with the original record.
However, although Marin knew the general distribution of the Windward Islands, he did not remember the specific latitude and longitude. After all, the Grenadian descent was just a small country. If Americans had not invaded Grenada, Marin would not have been interested in the island.
So, he gave a general map of the windward islands, let Amerigo find and compare it himself, and then wrote down the relevant latitude and longitude.
The guide given by Umarin is-after arriving at the Windward Islands, head south all the way to the South American continent. The island closest to the South American continent is Trinidad, and the small island northeast of Trinidad is Tobago. Then, the double-sized island of Texel northwest of Tobago is Grenada ...
Amerigo did the same. After arriving in Martinique, he did not stop, but went straight south, and soon arrived in Trinidad. Through the "artifact" of the telescope, he confirmed that Trinidad is a large island beside the mainland, and there is indeed a small island in the northeast.
Then, without a word, he turned to sail northwest and found Grenada not long after. At the same time, he recorded the latitude and longitude of each island along the way.
After arriving in Grenada, Amerigo immediately commanded the fleet to start mapping hydrology around Grenada, looking for a place suitable for landing.
However, when the fleet reached the waters near St. George in the southwestern part of Grenada, Amerigo looked through the telescope and was surprised to find that a battle was taking place on the island ...
About a dozen 20- to 30-ton boats docked near the harbour. A large group of indigenous people who looked at the ferocious, armed with various weapons, killed the village on the shore ...
Moreover, according to observations, Amerigo found that there were three hundred or four hundred strong men, all strong and fierce. The village on the island has fewer than 200 men, and not all of them are robust. Seeing, the village on the shore will be broken by the invaders ...
When the two ships 2503 and 2504 approached the shores of St. George, the fighting sides on the shore stopped involuntarily ...
I saw the two ships approaching the sea, and both sides at the war were surprised. Both sides stunned for a while. The leader with the bird's hair on the resistance side seemed to react first, yelling at Amerigo's fleet with an unknown language, his voice was bleak, and he seemed to be asking for help . In fact, the middle-aged man who looks like a chief is desperate. Therefore, no matter who came from the sea, he didn't look like an enemy's accomplice anyway, so he began to cry out for help regardless of the enemy and kneeled down to the sea.
The invaders were stunned, and then watched two ships at sea with vigilance. I don't know which one was wrong, but the leader took notice of the two big ships of Amerigo ...
In fact, the invaders of Grenada were the more militant Caribbeans in the Caribbean. The attacked were the more peaceful Arawak people who first lived on the island.
Caribbean originally lived in the South American continent, but in the last one or two hundred years, the Caribbean drove a large canoe and held a spear, and began to march to the islands of the Caribbean region, occupying the local Arawak territory.
According to Spanish records, the Caribbean is more brutal. Every time they attack the next village, they will kill all the men in the village (or even eat them) and rob the women as wives.
It is an indisputable fact that the caribbeans did not agree with the later generations of the Arawak men, but they killed all Arawak men.
Originally, Amerigo planned to use a telescope to observe the way of war of the indigenous people. Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached, the two sides would be small.
What shocked Amerigo the most was that the indigenous warriors on the offensive side started to withdraw to the big canoe, and then-rowed for their two big ships ...
Soon, Amerigo reacted-the other side wanted to capture these two ships ...
Amerigo was angry-Nima, daring to fight with my gunboat by relying on more than a dozen canoes, really didn't know how to write the dead words ...
Alas, Amerigo ordered the sailors to lift a flexible spinnaker and begin to fight the indigenous fleet ...
The 2503 and 2504 were equipped with 40 12-pound guns. Because it is a survey ship, it does not need to carry cargo, only food and weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the ammunition on board was sufficient.
When the indigenous canoe fleet approached, Amerigo immediately ordered the firing. At a distance of several hundred meters, although the accuracy is not high, a dozen indigenous canoes are close together. In addition, these canoes are very large, made of about 1,000 years old trees, and their goals are not small.
So, in the first round of shelling, a canoe was broken on the spot ...
The indigenous people panicked immediately. They didn't panic because a ship was sunk. It was because they had never heard such loud cannon sounds and thought that Thor was angry ...
Alas, the indigenous fleet began to escape. However, Amerigo had been angered by them and was unwilling to let them go. Therefore, he ordered a pursuit.
哪里 Where canoeing is the opponent of sailing? Maybe the kayak can be faster than the sailing boat temporarily at the beginning. However, canoes rely on people to paddle, and their physical strength is limited. So, after a while, the indigenous sailors were tired of paddling, and they were caught up by Amerigo ...
Then, the artillery fired, and all the indigenous invaders were sent to the sea ...
When Amerigo's fleet returned to the seaside of the village on the side of St. George, it was warmly welcomed by the local indigenous people. No wonder, of course. If it were not for the sudden appearance of the Amerigo fleet, two hundred men and women in this village would have been killed by the invaders.
Although the language was incomprehensible, Amerigo still communicated with the locals by gestures. According to the pronunciation of the locals, Amerigo learned that they claimed to be Arawak and were a farming tribe.
There were originally three Arawak tribes on the island, but the other two tribes were destroyed by the invaders before, killing the men and robbing all women.
So, this small Arawak tribe called Bucas is now very afraid of the enemy's re-invasion. The Bukas are a farming tribe. The farming civilization has always been relatively peaceful and does not like war. Therefore, their combat effectiveness is not strong.
保 In order to save his life, Raburi, chief of the Bukas, begged Amerigo's fleet to stay and help them and protect them. To this end, they are willing to give 30% of the harvest to dedicate to Amerigo ...
Amerigo is certainly happy, because Marin meant to colonize this island. Is it good to have indigenous help who is familiar with the local area?
Alas, he was about to go north in search of the legendary Nantucket Island, and could not stay. So, after thinking about it, he decided to stay for a while, help the locals build a simple fortress, and leave a few metal-pointed spears for the Bukas tribe to let them protect themselves.
At the same time, Amerigo promised that in a few months, he would send someone to protect them, and teach them more advanced agricultural technology, and a lot of metal farm tools ...
Although the Bucas were disappointed, they were not completely disappointed. They are still in the Stone Age, and they are very fond of the metal spears that Amerigo gave away. In addition, Amerigo gave them 10 bows and 10 pots of arrows to give them strength. UU Reading Book www.uukanshu.com
Although Native Indians also make bows and arrows, the craftsmanship is very poor. The bow of the indigenous people of the Caribbean, the bowstring is the vine, and the bow body has no special treatment. The arrows are also not stingy. The stone-polished arrows, the arrow body is a reed rod, the kinetic energy is very poor, and there is almost no armor breaking ability.
Bows and arrows like this can kill at most from a distance of thirty to forty meters. This, of course, means indigenous people in the Caribbean. After all, the indigenous peoples in the Caribbean are not sufficiently civilized to produce powerful weapons. By replacing them with Aztecs and Incas, you can produce better weapons.
The bows and arrows given to the Bukas by Amerigo were carefully crafted by European craftsmen, and were originally used by hunters to hunt and play. After all, gunpowder was limited in this era. Sailors usually use bows and arrows that can be recycled.
欧洲 These European bows and arrows have a killing distance of at least 100 meters, far beyond the caribbean bows and arrows, and the arrows are all metal. In the eyes of the Bucas, they are naturally good things. Used to resist the Caribs' offense, it can definitely cause heavy casualties to the opponent.
Then, before leaving, Amerigo arranged for the sailors on the ship who knew the skills of the masons to direct the Bucas to build a simple and strong camp. Unlike the former Bocas village, the walls were torn and ragged. Around the newly-built camp, the sailors instructed the Bukas to dig trenches and insert pointed stakes to guard against the enemy's impact. Then, a few simple arrow towers were erected in the village. As long as the enemy dares to come, the Bukas can use the arrow tower to shoot the enemy outward in the village.
After the village was repaired, Amerigo took his men on board, bid farewell to the reluctant Bocas, brought some local products, left Grenada, and headed north to find the legendary Nantucket Martha's Vineyard ...
