Chapter 355: Who Invented America

"Soul Gathering Coffin?"

Captain Jack frowned and asked, "What's that?" ”

Tia Dorma explained with a smile: "The Soul Gathering Coffin is as big as an ordinary treasure chest, and it also needs to be opened with a key, and the function of the Soul Gathering Coffin is to keep the organs fresh and keep them in an immortal state. ”

Captain Jack wondered, "Sounds weird, why am I looking for that?" I don't need to save my organs. ”

Tia Dorma smiled, "What you really want is not the Soul Gathering Coffin, but the contents of the Soul Gathering Coffin. ”

The second mate, Gibbs, couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is in the Soul Gathering Coffin?" ”

The little skin next to him said excitedly: "It should be gold!" ”

"Tia Dorma has said that the Soul Gathering Coffin is used to hold fresh organs!" Old Lei sneered, "I hope ...... There is a living eye in the Soul Gathering Coffin, so that my blindness can be cured once and for all. ”

"You know...... David Jones? Tia Dolma smiled charmingly.

The pirates present nodded in awe.

David Jones, the legendary strongest pirate, the captain of the Flying Dutchman, the devil who possesses the Poseidon Beast......

Xu Feng noticed that Tia Dolma's pockmarked face was full of pride and intimacy when she mentioned David Jones.

Of course, such emotions disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Tia Dolma said with a smile as she played with her dreadlocks, "David Jones, the first European seafarer to arrive in the Americas, was a great sailor, a man of great ambition, until he came across something that bothered even men. ”

Bill asked curiously, "What can make men miserable?" ”

Tia Dolma smiled and stroked Bill's hand, "yes, what is it that can distress men?" ”

"The sea?" Gibbs asked.

"Treasure?" Pippy asked.

"A combination of good and evil?" Lao Lei asked.

Everyone present looked at Lao Lei, and no one understood how this guy could come up with such a sentence.

Captain Jack shrugged, "...... A woman, is a woman. In this world, the only thing that can make men distressed is women. ”

Xiaopi said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily, women can't make me and Lao Lei distressed, right, Lao Lei?" ”

Lao Lei nodded, "However, we are all struggling about love. ”

Captain Jack frowned and said, "You two...... Not counted. ”

Tia Dorma said proudly, "Yes, woman, a woman he fell in love with but never could have. ”

"Wait, I've heard a version that says David Jones fell in love with the sea." Gibbs said.

Tia Dolma was not surprised at all, she smiled even brighter, "The same story, different versions, but in fact they are all essentially the same, the woman he fell in love with is as volatile as the sea, cruel, merciless, and untamable. David Jones never stopped loving her, and it still is, and that love took a huge toll on him. ”

"β€”Wait! Wait a minute! Pie interrupted Tia Dolma's narration, frowned and said: "This story is a bit outrageous, you just said that David Jones was the first seafarer to arrive in the Americas, as far as I know, the first to arrive in the Americas should be Columbus in 1492, so far, it has been more than 200 years, if David Jones is Columbus's crew, then David Jones has lived to this day, at least close to three hundred years old, right?" Three hundred years old...... Do you still love it? ”

The other pirates also agreed with Pis's question.

Tia Dorma grinned, she first glanced at Xu Feng, and then said lightly: "First of all, I didn't say that David Jones was the first person to reach the American continent, my exact words are that David Jones was the first European seafarer to reach the American continent. ”

"What's the difference?" Pippy asked.

Tia Dolma smiled: "Of course it's different, the American continent was not discovered by Europeans, but was discovered by the Indians as early as 40,000 years ago, and the reason why Europeans say that they discovered the American continent is just an arrogant attitude of looking down on low civilization from high civilization." The Europeans did not discover the American continent, the American continent already existed, and the Europeans brought only racial destruction and endless plunder to the American continent. ”

"And, if you really want to make discoveries, it's not the American continent that Columbus discovered." Tia Dorma scoffed.

Gibbs was surprised and asked, "Could it be David Jones?" ”

Tia Dorma smiled and shook her head, "Of course not. You are all seafarers, you should know that Columbus arrived on the American continent in 1492, but you don't know that as early as 1421, Zheng He's Ming fleet had arrived in the Americas and drew detailed charts. Columbus used Zheng He's charts to find the American continent, and later Magellan also used Zheng He's charts. [Note 1]

"This ......"

All the pirates present looked at each other.

Xu Feng couldn't help but nod secretly.

History textbooks in various countries say that Columbus discovered the American continent, but this is not true.

When Zheng He went to the West, he had already arrived in the Americas, and Zheng He brought seeds, silk, porcelain, and skill books to the Americas, in exchange for peppers, corn, gold and other goods.

Zheng He went to the West and used trade exchanges, not plunder.

This is also the reason why the world is not impressed enough by Zheng He, but is deeply impressed by the British and French colonizers.

If Zheng He had adopted the practice of plundering and opening up overseas governors' colonies at that time, then the current Tang people would have stepped on the whole world.

The dynasty of the Tang people, which could complete capital accumulation by plundering the wealth of other low-armed countries, would also become the first country to have modern civilizations such as steam engines and telephones.

[Note 1] On the topic of who "discovered" the Americas first, this paragraph is not YY, if you are interested, you can take a look at the British historian Gavin Menses wrote "1421: The Year of the Discovery of America", in addition, in the National Maritime Museum of the United Kingdom, there is also a navigation chart of the sixteenth year of Yongle, that is, 1418, which draws the outline of the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Australia in detail, and has an accurate record of the appearance and customs of the Australian aborigines and American Indians.

So why aren't the textbooks changed? Is it still said that Columbus discovered the American continent?

Because...... The foreigners did not admit that it was Zheng He who discovered the American continent.

Do you think that with evidence and facts, foreigners can really admit that you are better than them?

No, they only admit the facts that they are willing to recognize, they don't want to admit it, and even if you slap the evidence in their faces, they won't admit it.

Zheng He's fleet was only for exploration and trade, so even if the American continent was discovered, it did not cause harm to the Americas, Africa, and Australia.

And the Europeans discovered the American continent as if they had discovered a treasure.

They plundered, possessed, and to this day, they lie on their stomachs on the American continent to suck blood.

In a few hundred years, they wiped out the natives of the American continent, and the Indians were almost extinct.

Having said so much, I just want to prove one point: our ancestors are awesome, we are descendants, don't kneel and lick foreigners for everything.

The foreigners are very awesome in some places, but their awesomeness is based on plundering bloody gold.
