Published at 14th of June 2023 05:26:58 AM

Marin took a group of people, loaded the crushed lemon leaves with two carriages, and left a lemon orchard where the last leaves were picked, and began to return to the north.

Now Da Vinci is also honest. At the beginning, Da Vinci wanted to call for help when he saw a stranger. However, whenever he wanted to scream, professional stun expert Kahn's hand knife accurately split on his back neck, and then Da Vinci would faint on the spot without any after effects.

In order to see Da Vinci, Kahn is now riding in a carriage with him, and seeing that Ada wants to call someone, he is extremely stunned ...

Da Vinci was desperate after many encounters. Leonardo Da Vinci is a fateful person, otherwise, he would not write the Leonardo da Vinci manuscript in password form. It seems that he also knew that the publication of these gadgets might be burned to death by the Holy See. Therefore, his manuscript was never published while he was alive. Seeing hopelessness out of trouble, Marin offered him deliciously and deliciously. In the end, Leonardo Da Vinci has given his life ...

On the way back from the north, Marin rode a horse and walked on a country road, feeling good. Suddenly, a drunk came along the road ...

This is not important, the point is that this drunkard also wore a mask made of a black cloth ...

"Zorro?" Marin wondered as the drunk approached. Then he reacted by himself, Zorro was from the United States, and still from the 19th century ...

"Fox?" The drunk ghost stopped. In Spanish, Zorro means fox.

"Hi, sir, your mask is very good. It looks like a knight. But don't Rangers all appear at night?" Marin asked casually in Latin. Then he suddenly reacted, and used to communicate with Da Vinci in Latin these days. At this moment, casually encountered a drunk Italian, and Latin also emerged. However, he doesn't understand Italian ...

The drunk ghost stumbled, and suddenly said:

"I'm not a Ranger, sir. My name is Christopher!" The mask drunk answered in Latin. Rangers are not good names, they are almost equivalent to robbers. The average person is reluctant to admit that he is a ranger.

"Christopher? Are you Columbus?" Marin has never seen Christopher used as his first or last name. The only person who has ever heard of that name is Columbus.

Alas, Columbus was miserable by Marin's advice. The title and work were lost, and the original property was also confiscated.

After Columbus was expelled by the Queen of Spain, he reluctantly ran to Portugal to try his luck. However, Portugal has a wealth of nautical talents and no shortage of people at all. Moreover, according to the Pope Meridian, the Portuguese can only go east, not west. As a result, Columbus failed to find a job in Portugal.

Helpless, Columbus returned to his hometown of Genoa. However, the prostitutes in the city learned that Columbus, the culprit who had prevented them from receiving guests, came, and often a group of people came to block the door and torture them, which prevented the Columbus family from going out.

In desperation, Columbus had to sell Genoa's urban house and buy a small manor in the countryside to avoid it ...

Moreover, Columbus did not dare to use Columbus's surname since then, and simply called himself Christopher. However, Columbus was discouraged because he had nowhere to show his talents. As a result, he often went to town bars to hang around, and was often drunk. Furthermore, Columbus' poor farm management was poor because he did not understand farming, resulting in economic constraints.

As for Columbus's mask, it was originally made of bronze. However, the bronze mask was too heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Also, bronze masks are expensive. When he was looking for a job in Portugal, Columbus later had a financial crisis and sold the bronze masks for meals. Then, I put on a cheap and lightweight black cloth mask ...

Usually, if Marin asked him if he was Columbus, the alert Columbus would definitely deny it. However, he was drunk now. When Marin asked, Columbus immediately took a sip and asked:

"How do you know I'm Columbus?" Then, he stunned, thinking that someone was going to kill him, and the wine woke up more than half.

"Are you really Columbus?" Marin was excited, dismounted and turned around the drunk man a few times, looking left and right, looking up and down ...

"Sir, what do you want to do?" Columbus, who would be sober, was scared. In particular, there are hundreds of cavalry in front of it. He had no weapons and could only hold the glass bottle with the wine in his hands tightly, as a self-defense weapon.

不 "Nothing, I just hang on to my name for a long time!" Marin then touched his pocket and found no pen and paper. Otherwise, it would be nice to sign Columbus.

Columbus relaxed when he saw that Malin's face was not malicious. Then, he was not very sober, because he was depressed for too long and needed to talk to someone. Then he pulled Marin, sitting on the side of the road, and began to complain.

Marin was surprised at first, but when he learned that because of the Pope's decree, Columbus had lost his reputation, and he had been reclaimed of his title and property.

Others did not know it, thinking that it was the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I who first discovered syphilis and wrote to the Pope. But Marin knew very well that this was clearly his suggestion. It is just that the emperor took credit for his reputation and won't say much. After all, he had to eat by the emperor.

However, Columbus, who should have been regarded as a hero, because he revealed the source of syphilis and became a dog, Marlin said he was very guilty.

Now, according to Columbus, his whole family can now only eat dark bread with miscellaneous ingredients every day. Even if you want to get drunk in town, you have to save, you can only go once in a few days ...

Marin felt uneasy and decided to give some compensation to the nautical hero. However, when he was out of his pocket to get the gold coins, an idea flashed into his mind ...

既然 "Since you have to send someone to trade in India ... why ... why not to recruit an old driver in the maritime world of Columbus?"

Columbus bravely searched the American continent without any navigation chart. If you give him a map of the world and let him go to Gamma, the success rate must be higher ...

Columbus Tail Gamma? Marin thought the idea was brilliant. And it's funny. One nautical giant, followed by another nautical giant, was amused.

所以 The reason why Columbus led the team to go to Gamma instead of going it alone was because sailing was not easy, especially the great sailing in the sailing era.

Stern boats must consider not only the hydrological conditions and the distribution of reefs, but also the monsoon issue. Because ships of this era are sail-powered, the choice of wind direction is important. There is no wind or headwind, which has a great impact on navigation.

Therefore, following Da Gamma mix can also be a lot easier. Moreover, the Portuguese have prepared hydrological and monsoon data from the west coast of Africa to Cape of Good Hope. A trip to the West African coast, following the Portuguese, will be very simple.

I waited until the East African coast, and it was no trouble. Because Marin knew that after arriving in Malindi, the local chief sent the famous Arab navigator Ahmed Ibn Majid as a navigator to lead Dagama's fleet across the Arabian Sea and reach India .

酋 Chief Malindi sent Majid to help Da Gama pilot, it is said that he learned that Da Gama and the Chief of Mombasa have conflicts. Chief Malindi is hostile to Chief Mombasa. Therefore, Chief Malindi sent Majid to help Da Gama to navigate in order to win Dagama with him against the Mombasa.

酋 The reason why Chief Malindi liked Da Gama as an ally was that he thought Da Gama's artillery was very powerful and hoped to buy Portuguese artillery in the future.

But in reality, Da Gama only used Chief Malindi. His purpose was only to open up Indian routes, and he had no intention of helping Chief Malindi.

Uh ...

Umarin's plan is to follow Dagama on the coast of West Africa ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to the coast of East Africa, continue to follow Dagama in the first half. But when Da Gama stayed in Mombasa, he stopped and sent Columbus north to Malindi. Then, he deliberately stated that he was vengeful with Mombasa, and sought to formally ally with Malindi, and gave the chiefs two artillery pieces to deceive the chiefs to send Majid to Columbus to pilot ...

In this way, Da Gama lost his excellent navigator such as Majid, and his future is uncertain. And Columbus can take the lead to reach India. As for Da Gama's life and death, what does Marin do?

Thought of this, Marin was in a good mood, hehe laughed. Columbus, sitting beside him, felt a little cold ...

After Marin opened the call, Columbus agreed without thinking. Because he was so destitute that he couldn't afford to drink, what else could he choose? If there is no more money, his wife is about to divorce him ...

For a better life and family, Columbus immediately accepted Marin's offer. Even Columbus didn't mention the harsh conditions of the 10% income that the Queen of Spain asked for.

However, Marin considered that because of syphilis, Columbus is now in the wind in Europe. To avoid trouble, Marin suddenly thought of an idea:

"Christopher, in order to prevent you from being attacked again, when you go out, use a pseudonym!"

"Yes, what pseudonym do you think I should use?"

怎么 样 "How about Zorro?"

"it is good!"

Uh ...

In this way, Columbus, the great navigator, transformed himself and became Captain Zorro, and used this name to make a big name. Just at ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Mobile users, please read.
