Columbus left his son, brought a letter from Dean Perez, visited Queen Elizabeth, and presented his sailing plan face to face. As soon as his plan was completed, the queen's men became anxious and accused Columbus of violating the doctrine and being whimsical. Because according to the Bible, there is no one else on the earth except the descendants of Adam. Therefore, there is no human being on the "back" of the earth, so it is purely a madman's idea to turn to the "back" of the earth to find the way to the East. But the queen doesn't think so. This queen is really a woman. During her reign, she first unified the whole of Spain and tried to make Spain a maritime power that shocked Europe. She didn't listen to her subordinates' nonsense, but while settling down Columbus' life, she organized a "Council" composed of astronomers, geographers and other scholars to discuss the feasibility of Columbus' plan. I didn't expect this review meeting to be full of very conservative guys, who sentenced Columbus to death from the Bible. Seeing that the plan failed, Columbus was very anxious.
However, Columbus was indeed a hero of a generation, and despite repeated setbacks, he still did not change his original intention. When he saw that Spain had no intention of realizing his sailing plan, he immediately packed his bags, bid farewell to his close friends, and prepared to move to Britain and France to make great achievements again. It is said that Columbus has set sail and an envoy from Queen Elizabeth has arrived. When he heard the messenger's command: Christophel? Mr. Columbus, your Majesty allows you to play. When you go back to the palace, he hardly believes it. His long-cherished wish has finally come true.
Why did Queen Elizabeth push her way through the crowd and accept Columbus's plan? Some people say it's the venerable Juan? Dean Perez personally met with the Queen and persuaded her to succeed. Perhaps the most important thing is that the Queen can't let Britain, France or other countries open the eastern waterway first for the benefit of Spain, which may affect Spain's maritime superiority. So the queen made great determination on this matter, and even said in public: "If the treasury is empty, I am willing to sell the jewelry I am wearing and pay for this voyage." To this end, Columbus was moved to tears and wanted to kiss the ground where the Queen walked.
