Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Sudan was not angry at all, but laughed loudly: "Natalie, you are right, I am not a great fighter, I am so fat and old, how could I beat you? So I just A great sultan...but the Ming emperor was both a great emperor and a great warrior, and he never lost a battle!"

Huang Zhisheng said heartily: "I haven't lost a battle, so how can I be caught and almost given to Ling Chi? But I heard that Emperor Zhu's martial arts are good...at least that guy is there, he must be better than this fat Sudan. "

Natalie smiled and said: "I hope so! If he can beat me in the swordsmanship competition, I am willing to be his slave girl!"

Sudan smiled, turned to Huang Zhisheng and said, "Ambassador Huang, what do you think?"

"This..." Huang Zhisheng said in his heart: "Is this a real fight or a fake one? If you want to play the real one, if you beat the sage, I will be out of luck. If you play a fake... then you will be very happy, This official will be able to fly to the top in the future!"

Thinking of this, he looked at the fat Sudan again.

The fat sultan just said with a smile: "She was sent to the Hofburg Palace by the Khan of Crimea...it can't be wrong!"

"Okay then!" Huang Zhisheng didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and said, "In that case, I will take her back to Daming and send her to the Emperor of Ming."

Sudan laughed a few times, and then said to Natalie: "Natalie, Ambassador Huang has promised to take you to Daming, you must behave well."

"Of course! I will let the Emperor Ming know how powerful I am!" Natalie said with a smile, bowed to the Sultan, and left the banquet in the palace under the "escort" of two guard soldiers hall.

Looking at her back, Sudan smacked his lips: "It's really a stunner... I hope Emperor Ming will like it."

Huang Zhisheng took up the topic of the Sudan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will definitely feel your kindness... and a powerful Ottoman Empire in Europe is in the interests of Ming Dynasty! Form an alliance, but this will not affect the friendship and common interests between our two countries. In fact, non-alignment is more conducive to Ming's support for the Ottoman Empire. Because once the two countries form an alliance, the war between you and the Franks will also become Our war. At that time, the trade in the Indian Ocean may be completely blocked by the navies of England and the Netherlands, and the sugar and gunpowder produced by Ming Dynasty will not be able to be continuously imported into the Ottoman Empire."

"But you are also selling sugar medicine to the Franks!" Sultan's tone was already a little sinking, "Louis XIV will soon become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire...then there will be 30 fully armed French troops Join the war!"

"So what?" Huang Zhisheng smiled, "Your Majesty the Sultan, what are you worried about? Louis XIV has an army of 30, don't you have an army of 30? France has a total population of 2000 million, and the Ottoman Empire also has 2000. With a total population of [-]...Louis is backed by European Christians, and you are backed by Tianfang believers from all over the world, how could you lose?"

"But Western Europeans are good at making muskets and cannons!" The Ottoman Sultan said worriedly, "and now they have obtained white sugar from India, so they can already open up the development of sugar gunpowder weapons!"

Huang Zhisheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let the Ottoman Empire have no advanced weapons available! You should know that sugar gunpowder is only one of the many advanced weapons in my Ming Dynasty. There are many advanced munitions that can be provided to the Ottoman Empire...these are not available in Europe and India!"

Although he was bragging, he was right.Zhu Hechi does have many black-tech weapons that can change the rules of the European battlefield!

For example, the cable fuze that has been popularized by the Ming army is an ignition device that can greatly improve the efficiency of grenades... and it is the only one in Ming Dynasty!Others don't know the secret of extracting white phosphorus from urine.

And the fulminate fuze, which is more advanced than the white phosphorus fuze, which is very easy to spontaneously ignite, has already been successfully developed, and mass production has just begun.

As for nitroglycerin, it has been produced in small quantities after Zhu Hechi got nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and Zhu Hechi also knew how to passivate it so that it can be used as a safe explosive.

In addition, Minnie's easy-to-open golden finger was also opened by Zhu Heqi!

Just one of the above is enough to support the Ottoman Empire for 20 years.But Zhu Heqi will not sell good things at once... He has to learn from the "toothpaste factory" and squeeze bit by bit.Otherwise, the business will not last long, and the Ottoman Empire will wipe out Louis XIV in one fell swoop.

If Europe is unified under the green flag of Tianfang Sect, it will be a big trouble.

According to Zhu and Qi's thoughts, it is best to let the Europeans call back and forth in the future.And it is best for the Ming Dynasty to stay away from wars and concentrate on making a fortune just like the US emperor.The most is to support Shang Fang and the Yin family to fight a proxy war with the Europeans in the New World.

……

On September 1688th, the ninth year of the Great Duke of Ming Dynasty, at the end of August 8 in the Western calendar, outside Fuguiwan, the largest port in the Shangfang Kingdom of the New Mainland.

A total of fifty armed merchant ships of the New World type rolled up the snow-white waves, and with the help of the warm sea breeze, they slowly sailed into the Fugui Bay Strait.Several years have passed since "Zhou Beiguang" arrived in the New World for the first time, and Daming's New Continent-type armed merchant ships have already run through the Pacific route.Now they will not only pack people, animals and goods on different ships, but also take different routes to the New World in different seasons.

Boats transporting people and livestock are in a hurry - people and livestock have to eat and drink on board!So the longer it takes, the more food and fresh water you need to carry, and the carrying capacity of the ship will naturally decrease.Therefore, the boats transporting people and livestock are usually concentrated in Nagoya Tenno Castle in Japan in June. Taking advantage of the season when the wind and waves in the North Pacific are relatively small in July and August, they can go along the ocean currents and go smoothly. It will be over in a month.And just in case, the Ming Navy's Eastern Fleet also set up several freshwater supply ports on the North Pacific Islands, that is, the Aleutian Islands.

Therefore, the route to cross the Pacific Ocean in summer is very safe, but this time window is a bit short, only two months a year.In order to improve the efficiency of transporting people and livestock as much as possible, the Ming Dynasty Navy's East Ocean Fleet and Nanyang Trading Company usually organize dozens of New Continent ships to run once, and then wait for them to return to Daming, and then load them with grain, ironware, cloth, porcelain, etc. Materials, slowly taking the "quiet route" in the Central Pacific to the New World-the so-called no wind route is not really no wind at all, but the wind is relatively small.Basically a trip is up to four months!

In this way, a ship can travel to the New World at most twice a year, one trip for two months, and one trip for four months. Because there are ocean currents to take advantage of, a three-month trip is enough for the return trip.If everything is well connected, it will be twice a year.However, a group of crew members can't make two trips, and they have to take turns to work in accordance with the method of operating two ships with three groups of crew members.

Now sailing into Fugui Bay are fifty armed merchant ships carrying "people and animals", twenty of which carried about [-] passengers, and the remaining thirty ships carried [-] head of cattle, sheep or horses.

When the fleet sailed into the bay, the decks of the [-] passenger-carrying New World models were full of passengers who had been stuffy for more than two months on the small sailboats.Some of these passengers were Han Chinese, some were Mongolians, and some were Japanese women who boarded the ship in Nagoya. They all crowded on the deck and looked at the new world in front of them curiously.

Celing Dunduobu and Guo Youde's eldest son, Guo Shaoqian, both stood on the podium deck of the flagship Pacific Ocean, looking at everything in front of them with binoculars.

Facing the entrance of the Fugui Bay Strait, it is on the coast about thirty miles away from the Strait.A brand new "ancient city in 2000" has appeared in front of the two of them.

The "ancient city" is built on the edge of the beach with blue water and white sand. The city wall facing the sea is tall and majestic. The city wall is made of hard stones wrapped in rammed earth.The surface of the city wall has a large inclination angle, which is an inclined plane, which can effectively defend against artillery.Two trenches were excavated outside the city, and there were several triangular forts built with sandbags to provide cover for the city wall.

If you look carefully, you can also find that there are bronze cannons on the sloping city wall and the triangular fortress!

There are also two ditches and a low wall of sheep and horses outside the city, providing additional protection for the already strong castle.

Next to this brand new and strong ancient city, a commercial port was built.The commercial port is connected to the pier, and many wooden houses have been built inside, all of which are completely traditional Chinese-style houses, and they are all new.

The "ancient city" and the commercial port are surrounded by wheat fields. The land around Fugui Bay is fairly fertile, the climate is very suitable for wheat growth, and the land is relatively flat, so a large area of ​​farmland has been reclaimed, most of which are planted with wheat.It is already the season for spring wheat to be harvested, and the golden waves of wheat, which can't be seen at a glance, seem to indicate the prosperity and prosperity of this continent.

There are dots of fishing boats on the sea, most of these fishing boats are owned by the aborigines, many of them are hanging with white sails, and they are still fishing with fishing nets... Obviously, the productivity of these aborigines has improved a lot now!

Now they have not only learned to use sails, but also to catch fish with nets, use vehicles with wheels after landing, and use iron tools to cut and cook the caught fish and shrimp.

It is now close to lunch time, and the cooking smoke curls up from the market by the pier, mixed with the unique smell of grilled fish, filling the pier area.

The scenery of the Yin and Shang Dynasties is really different.

When the fleet approached the pier, the pier has become very lively.The merchants who were doing business in the commercial port, as well as the natives who set up stalls outside the pier and sold barbecue, all crowded together to do business.

In the port, two assault boats with the flags of "Da Bang Yin, Tian Yi Shang" were routinely guarding around the huge fleet, and the "Shang Dynasty infantry" wearing civilian breastplates was already carrying flintlock guns. Line up on the pier.

Celing Dunduobu just watched all this quietly, while quietly assessing the level of combat readiness of this Shangfang country in his heart... I have to say that the merchant army on Fugui Bay is still working very hard to prepare for the war.They have only been here four years, and they have already built two "gatekeeper" stone fortresses at the entrance of Fugui Bay Strait, and built a big city in Fugui Bay.

Moreover, these castles are not "naked cities" without defenses. Instead, artillery was deployed, trenches were dug, sheep and horse walls and peripheral forts were built, and the defenses were very tight.

In addition, Shangfang Kingdom's navy and infantry were extremely vigilant, and they did not relax their vigilance just because it was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty that entered the port.

This shows that the spirit of Shang Fangguo is tense!

Chapter 820 New Dynasty Song, New Ancient City in 2000

When Tsering Dunduobu was thinking about it, the captain of the Pacific Ocean, Guo Shaoqian, suddenly said, "Did you see that? The Marquis of Jizhou and the others have already arrived. Good guy, how many cuirassiers are accompanying you!"

With a finger pointing at the words, Celing Dunduobu also turned his gaze.Sure enough, I saw the very familiar "Qizi" of Emperor Zhu on the pier, wearing a purple robe and an unknown hat with bird feathers on his head, riding a tall horse he got from somewhere, behind him was a team of several people. Cuirassiers of ten cavalry.

Celing Dunduobu laughed: "It seems that Su Anda is doing well... one of the seven princes of Yin and Shang, and now that the second king of Yin and Shang is not here, the seven princes of Yin and Shang are the biggest."

Guo Shaoqian smiled in response to the situation: "Qianhuhou, you are also one of the Seven Marquises, and you are also a part of the Yin and Shang Jiangshan in the New World! And there are many opportunities to make contributions here in the New World. can go further."

"Hahaha..." Celing Dunduobu laughed loudly, "Then I will borrow your good words! Guo An replied, let the boat go aboard, and don't make Jizhou Hou wait too long!"

Guo Shaoqian replied with a smile: "That's great! We can land right away!"

There was a burst of "boom boom boom" salute, accompanied by the sound of anchor dropping, and the sound of shouting and pulling the rope.The people on the shore saw the fleet of ships waiting in line on the sea, all of them were overjoyed, and they cheered loudly from time to time.

Su Zhanyang and the others also got off their horses, and they lined up on the pier with a group of cavalry in purple breastplates. The smiles on their faces could hardly be piled up.These fifty New World sailboats came at the right time!

These fifty boats carried more than [-] "Shang people" and about [-] animals of various kinds.Among them, there are no less than [-] strong men who can carry guns and ride on the battlefield.

With their participation, the popularity of the "2000-year-old city" here in Fugui Bay will always be a little stronger.Even if the foreign missions come, they can still fool around for a while.

It has been three years since the Westerners discovered this Shangfang country, although Xibohou Zhou Peigong has been firmly implementing the policy of closing the country and refusing to contact the Western society.But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!

Shang Fangguo wishes to become invisible, but there are always people with ulterior motives who want to put this country on the stage of world hegemony.What's even more exasperating is that the "nervous Spain" next to the Shangfang country is also a half-stupid, half-crazy country, and there are always some religious fanatics with abnormal minds.After the Marquis of Mendoza was dismissed, the Queen Mother Maria Anna of Spain sent a count of St. Chris to be the deputy king of New Spain. This guy is a religious fanatic, and he especially admires the man who conquered Azco Hernán Cortés of the Special Empire also wants to establish the same feat.So he treats Merchant as another Aztec or Inca...

In addition, after Pope Alexander VIII learned of Shangfang, an ancient American country that was full of evil inside and out and urgently needed God's salvation, he immediately sent the pious Spanish Archbishop Desumaraga To serve as Archbishop of Mexico.He also specially urged the cardinal to complete the mission of spreading Catholicism to Shang Fangguo!

A deputy king who wants to conquer the Shang Fang Kingdom and a cardinal who wants to save the souls of the Shang people are together. Zhou Peigong's strategy will not work very well!

Although he was able to temporarily block the land route leading to Fugui Bay by expanding the Red Water Pass (the Red Water River is the Colorado River), the Earl of St. Chris and the Bishop of Desumaraga sent people to explore Fugui Bay by sea. .

Just a few months ago, a fleet of four Spanish galleons carrying Father Raul Torres rushed directly outside the Fuguimen Strait. "Boom" was blown back.

But Zhou Peigong already knew that Shang Fangguo must "found a country"!

It’s not that the Spaniards will attack the well-defended Fugui Bay, but that the Spaniards will land in the Sea Prairie (Los Angeles) or the Thousand Island Bay (Vancouver area) and Beijiangkou (the mouth of the Columbia River) in the north... Zhou Peigong has decided to land in the Thousand Island Bay Looking for a suitable place to build a new Shangyi in the area, as the ruling center of the Shangfang Kingdom in the northern region.He also planned to build Xinyin City in the Beijiang River Basin as a stronghold for Shangfang Kingdom to expand along the northern border.

In addition, Zhou Peigong also planned to make Shang and Yin the two "Tianyi" of Shangfang Kingdom. At the same time, he also named the newly completed "2000-year-old city" on the east bank of Fugui Bay as Xinchaoge. As the foreign trade and trade port of the big merchant country.

As for how magnificent, ancient, and prosperous both Shang and Yin are, Zhou Peigong has long blown them out.If the Spaniards ran to see that there was no hair, the cowhide would be blown to pieces.

It doesn't matter if the cowhide is torn, what matters is that if the Spaniards get there first and build a castle in Qiandao Bay or Beijiangkou, then Shangfang Kingdom will be in big trouble!It is no problem for this small group of people in Shangfang Kingdom to defend a fortress, and it is okay to gather together to fight a field battle, but it is not enough to attack a city.At that time, Shang Fangguo will not be able to occupy such a large territory.

So Zhou Peigong had no choice but to use a tactic to slow down the troops, let the Spaniards go back first, and then enter the country by land through Hongshuiguan... At that time, he will personally welcome them to the commercial city of Shangfang Kingdom, Xinchaoge, which has a long history of 2000 years. , and also promised to arrange for the seven marquises in power of Shang Fangguo to meet the Spanish envoys in Xinchaoge.

After receiving Zhou Peigong's guarantee, the Spaniards did not force their way into Fugui Bay - after all, the 36-jin long-tube bronze "boom" on the two cities of gold and silver was not a joke, and it was not just one, but There are as many as 24 doors!

Moreover, these "boom" devices can not only shoot solid bullets, shotgun bullets, and chain bullets, but also can shoot sugar and explosive bullets.That was a 36-jin explosive bomb, and those big ships of the Spaniards couldn't even carry a single round.

Therefore, after agreeing a date with Zhou Pei, Raul Torres returned to Acapulco with four Spanish galleons, and happily reported to the Count of San Cristina and de Sumaraga.

The date agreed by Zhou Peigong and Raul Torres is almost here.So Zhou Peigong asked Su Zhanyang to stay in Xinchaoge, while supervising various construction projects inside and outside the city, while waiting for the arrival of Celing Dunduobu and his party.

In the past three years, a total of five fleets have arrived in the New World, bringing more than 6000 immigrants. Adding this wave of 3 people, the number of immigrants will reach 5.In addition, the "Shang Dynasty people" who landed before also subdued all the Indian tribes between Fugui Bay and the sea grassland, and there were almost [-] to [-] people.All together, excluding those who have not yet grown up, after the arrival of Celingdun Dobu, the total population of Shangfang Kingdom in the New World will reach more than [-] and almost [-].Although the number is small, if [-]% of them are concentrated in Xinchaoge City, you can still take a look.

"Celing'an, I finally have you guys here!"

As soon as Celing Dunduobu arrived at the pier, Su Zhanyang greeted him and talked to him, "Is the journey going well? Didn't you encounter any big storms?"

"How do I know?" Celing Dunduobu shook his head with a wry smile, "To be honest, I almost fainted during this trip, and spent most of my time lying in the cabin... the internal organs in my stomach just turned upside down like this In the past, I almost vomited my mother's blood. When I got to the American continent, I got used to it a little bit. By the way, how is the situation here in the New World? Why didn't I see the other princes?"

"They are not in Xinchaoge," Su Zhanyang said, "Bei Bohou went to inspect the Jinmai, and said that a large mine was discovered in the flood valley!"

"Really? That's about to happen!" Celing was dizzy for two months, and although he wasn't dizzy now, when he heard that there was a big gold mine, he suddenly regained his energy.

According to Zhu Hexi's will, these gold mines are to be distributed to the Yin Shang nobles and officials who led the emigration to the New World. Hou Zhizhi, of course he can get a copy!

Su Zhanyang also laughed happily, and then said: "Nan Bohou and Danjin Qianhuhou have been stationed in the seaside grassland, and Dugar Qianhuhou explored along the Beijiang River... He found a place on the plateau in the upper reaches of the Beijiang River. The prairie, there are buffalo everywhere!"

"Bison is everywhere?" Celing Dunduobu was stunned, "Is this true?"

"Of course," Su Zhanyang said, "there is nothing to say about the New World... There are so many animals flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water! The cattle and sheep we brought from Daming can't even be used as tires. If you eat it, you can only raise cubs. But you are tired of eating fish and meat all day long, have you seen the wheat fields outside Xinchaoge City?"

"I see." Celing Dunduobu looked around.

"Those wheats are used to relieve greasyness." Su Zhanyang said, "I can't stand eating too much fish and meat every day, so I can only grow some wheat to grind some flour, and make noodles and bun skins to relieve greasyness. "

greasy?Tserington Dubu said heartily: "You Han people are so delicate, you can still get tired of eating meat."

However, he did not continue to discuss the issue of eating meat with Su Zhanyang, but continued to ask: "Where is Lord Xibo? Where did he go?"

"He went to Hongshuiguan to pick up the Spanish mission." Su Zhanyang frowned and said, "After all, we still have a small number of people, not counting indigenous people. There are only [-] men and women in the whole country. If we can gather [-] elite soldiers, we will be able to fight the sky. Now, even if they are all equipped with rifled guns, they won’t be able to withstand consumption.”

"Ten thousand elite soldiers is actually quite a lot!" Tserington Dobb said with a smile, "If I were to command them, I would be able to fight all the way to Mexico City with these ten thousand elite soldiers!"

His words are not bragging. In the original history, he led [-] Junggar elite soldiers from the foot of Tianshan Mountain all the way to the snow-covered plateau, ran thousands of kilometers, and drove away the troops of the Heshuot Khanate. He overthrew the Xueyu regime and defeated the reinforcements sent by the Qing court.

Not to mention his ability to fight tough battles, just by rushing all the way to the snow-covered plateau, he still has the energy to beat the Heshuote Mongolian who has been living on the plateau and has been accustomed to the lack of oxygen on the plateau. The results of the battle, and then he can go to the border area between Xueyu and Qinghai to beat the Qing soldiers well. His ability to organize the march is also very good.

But Su Zhanyang shook his head and said: "Everyone is here to dig for gold. They are looking for money rather than life. Moreover, the land is large enough and boundless. There is so much gold and such a small population... If we can't fight this battle, we won't fight it." Therefore, what Xibohou means is that it is only a short period of time. Starting from next year, the number of new continents running in the Pacific Ocean will increase by [-] a year, and more and more people will come. If it can be delayed for another five or six years, we will No matter how many males there are, there can be [-] to [-], and the chances of winning will be even greater."

"You're right," Tseringdundobu nodded, "We'll head to Mexico City and rob all the gold and silver there!"

Su Zhanyang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together when the time comes." He paused, and then said, "But now we still have to find a way to deceive."

"How?" Celing Dunduobu inquired about the deceived man again.Of course he himself is good at fooling people, but most of the Mongolians below are relatively simple and not good at lying.

"It's simple," Su Zhanyang said with a smile, "ask everyone to change into the clothes of the Yin merchants, and settle down in the city first. Then, while taking care of the animals you brought, you can pretend to be the Yin merchants to live. According to Xibohou's intention, we have to Let the Spaniards believe that this new court song was built 2000 years ago."

"2000 years ago?" Celingdun Dob frowned, "Can the Spaniards believe it?"

"Believe it or not," Su Zhanyang waved his hand, "We just need to let those Spaniards know that we have many soldiers and strong horses, and that we are not easy to bully."

"Okay, listen to Lord Xibo." Celing Dunduobu frowned and said with a smile, "Su Anda, I can bring 5000 people here, do they all have a place to live?"

Su Zhanyang smiled and said: "Of course there is... This Xinchaoge was built according to the standard of [-] households and [-] people. There are moats, sheep and horse walls, and triangular terraces outside. There are also ten squares and two cities inside. fence barrier.

Celing Anda, the site for building houses for your people has been given to you. The square is near the west gate, and there is a pasture outside the gate. The cattle and sheep you brought can be grazed in the pasture.The planks and logs for building the house are also prepared, but don’t build it yourself, a master worker will teach you how to build it later. The 2000-year-old house is not so easy to build.I will give you corned beef and salted fish later...don't worry, just open up and eat! "

"Okay, I listen to you!"

Su Zhanyang said again: "Celing Anda, your Marquis Mansion has already been built for you... Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

"Okay!" Celing Dunduobu laughed, "Okay, I finally have a home! Su Anda, lead the way! Let me open my eyes and see what this newly built ancient city in 2000 looks like?"

Chapter 821 Zhou Peigong, You Think Imperialism Too Well!

The clattering horseshoes stepped across the stream, and the first few horses had already set foot on the north bank.Immediately afterwards, two or three hundred knights rushed over.Half of the figures on horseback are tops and bottoms, with their hair tied up on the right lapel, a long sword hanging from their waists, a breastplate, a flintlock gun and a helmet with feathers on their backs.The other half are mostly dressed as Western knights, wearing cloaks, breastplates, and long swords and flintlock pistols.The knights in these two costumes were followed by the envoys of Zhou Peigong, Xibohou of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the vice-king of New Spain, and Raul Torres, the regional bishop who "discovered the Shang Fang".

The two foreign adults frowned and didn't say much along the way, but looked back at the merchant knight following them from time to time.These merchant knights are much more formal than the merchant knights that Raul Torres saw four years ago, who looked a bit like Mongolians. Breastplate, helmet.Regardless of the armor, it is polished and polished. You can tell that it is made of high-quality iron. I don't know if it is made of Ming Dynasty's "Foshan Iron"?

In addition, the "Flint Boom" they carried on their backs also looked very powerful, with a simple and simple shape, and the "Boom" tube was slender, and the workmanship looked fine, obviously a high-end product.

The horses they ride also look very handsome. They all look a bit like horses with Iberian blood. I don’t know if they got the lost Spanish Iberian horses through the trade with the Indians. kind.

Of course, after careful observation these days, the two foreigners still discovered a phenomenon that surprised them.All the merchants they saw—including the officers and soldiers of the merchant defenders at Hongshui Pass and the Sea Grassland Fortress, as well as those merchants who welcomed them northward—none of them were pockmarked!

What does this mean?This shows that these merchants have probably never been exposed to the terrible smallpox!

This seems to be a matter of course. The merchants left China 600 years ago and fled across the sea to the New World.At that time, smallpox probably hadn't appeared in China yet... Even if it did, as long as none of the people who fled with Lu's father got smallpox, they would have no chance of being exposed to smallpox after they arrived in the New World.Moreover, in the following 2000 years, they only maintained indirect contacts through North Korea, a small country in Northeast Asia, and China.However, North Korea in Northeast Asia is located in a cold region, which is not easy to spread smallpox in this cold region.Moreover, it is likely to take several months to return to the business side from North Korea, and there may be rest on some small islands in the North Pacific on the way.In this way, even if someone is infected with smallpox, it is unlikely to bring smallpox back to the New World.

This means that they, like other Indians, have little resistance to smallpox... God forbid!

When the Spaniards first arrived in America, they cleverly used smallpox, a plague weapon bestowed by God.Inadvertently or intentionally, they infected and died a large number of Indians who had never been exposed to smallpox by throwing clothes, shrouds, and blankets contaminated with the pus and scabs of smallpox patients.This not only greatly weakened the resistance of the Indians, but also shook their faith, making them doubt their gods and turn to God.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the help of smallpox, it would be difficult for the Spaniards to conquer so many Indians with such a small force and easily disintegrate the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire.
