He couldn't have.  Columbus' best weapon was one that hedidn't fully understand - disease.  Rolling into China or India withsmallpox wouldn't have accomplished anything, as the Silk Road - the traderoute that Columbus was attempting to bypass - had served as a highway fordisease between Asia and Europe for thousands of years.  The best exampleof this is probably that of the Black Death:
(The Spread of Black Death)
Without disease on their side, Europeans wouldhave needed many, many more soldiers than they did in theAmericas.  Remember, Vasco da Gama completed his firstvoyage to India under the Portuguese flag in 1497, shortly after Columbus reachedthe Americas, but Europeans never achieved the same level of dominance anywherein Asia that they did in the Americas.  Part of this, of course, is thattheir technological differences weren't as great, but the larger factor wasthat Europeans in North America were essentially able to waltz into areas wherethe native societies had collapsed and the indigenous peoples themselves weredead and dying.
The peoples of the Americas, having been completely isolatedfrom Eurasians and Africans for so long, were incredibly vulnerable to diseasefrom across the Atlantic, and they died en masse as a result.  This mapdoes a good job of showing the spread of major diseases (you can view a larger,more legible version if you follow the link):
(Map of the Week 11-28-2011:TheSpread of Disease)
Comparatively tiny numbers of Westerners wereable to conquer huge civilizations in the Americans thanks to civil unrest thatlargely stemmed from disease-related societal collapse.  The Inca Civil War,for example, was precipitated by both the emperor and his heir dying ofsmallpox prior to the Spanish making any attempt to conquer their lands. Per Wikipedia:
In 1524-1526, the Spaniards under Francisco Pizarro exploredSouth America.[4] There were 62 horsemen and 106foot soldiers.[5] Smallpox was taken to thecontinent, causing disaster for the Incas. Sapa Inca Huayna Capac travellednorth to investigate the strangers. Although he never met anySpaniards, he contracted smallpox and died in 1524. His eldest son andheir, Ninan Cuyochi, died soon afterhim.[6] Thus it becameuncertain as to who should be the next Inca king. There were no clearrules of succession.[7] The choice stood between twosons of Huayna Capac, Huáscar, and Atahualpa, born of different mothers.
Would Columbus have treated the Asians he encountered well? Not a chance.  Would he himself have survived and made it back to Spainwith a tale to tell?  Quite possibly no.  de Gama was able to survivein India by playing shrewd politics with local leaders, and even then there wasa degree of luck to Portugal's success (though probably not as much luck asencountering the Americas).  Suffice it to say, the power dynamic wouldnot have been nearly as uneven, and might even have been reversed.

不可能，哥伦布最好的武器是他没有完全掌握的-----疾病。在中国和印度洒下天花病毒是不能成事的------哥伦布想通过的贸易路线---数千年间一直是亚欧大陆之间疾病传播的高速通道。最好的例子就是黑死病。


 
黑死病的传播

即使不采用传播疾病的方式，欧洲（殖民亚洲）所需的士兵也要比在美洲多得多。记住，瓦斯科·达·伽马在1497年用葡萄牙旗帜第一次实现了到达印度的航程，就在哥伦布到达美洲之后不久。但是欧洲人在亚洲从未达成其在美洲实现殖民的程度。这其中一部分原因当然包括在这两个大陆采取殖民统治所需的技术因素大不相同，但是更大的因素则是，在北美的欧洲殖民者能轻易打入本地社群，因为本地社群早已崩塌，土着居民也正在消亡。
美洲大陆的人类与欧洲、非洲完全隔离太久了，所以对从大西洋彼岸而来的疾病抗性非常虚弱，所以他们最终大量死亡。下图很好的诠释了世界上主要病毒的传播途径（点击链接，查看更清晰图片）


 
疾病的传播

相对较少的西方人得以征服美洲大陆，归功于（美洲的）动乱，以及由疾病导致的社会崩溃。比如印加战争，西班牙决定征服他们之前，皇帝与其继承人就已死于天花，这促成了战争。
在1524-1526年之间，西班牙人法兰西斯克·皮泽洛探险到达南美，只带了62个骑兵与106个步兵就给印加人带来深重灾难。萨巴·印加之后向北探险，虽然没有遭遇到西班牙人，但是他染上了天花，不就便死了。他的大儿子与继承者 Ninan Cuyochi在它死后不就也死了。因而导致了下一任印加国王王位不确定性，而且并没有明确的继承条例。只能在两个同父异母的儿子HuaynaCapac, Huáscar、Atahualpa中二者选一。
哥伦布会好好对待他遇到的亚洲人吗？那是不可能的。他自己能存活下来并且带着故事返回西班牙么？他很可能有去无回。达·伽马在印度能存活下去也是因为他与当地权贵玩了一些精明的政治游戏。就算这样，葡萄牙人的成功也带有一定程度的侥幸（虽然可能没有在美洲那么走运）。这么说吧，二者间的力量悬殊，局面很可能被逆转。

In order to give them to understand that they [Chinese]thought nothing of the Portuguese, so that the people might not talk aboutPortuguese. Thus our ships were captured through two captains not agreeing, andso all in the ships were taken, they were all killed,and their heads and private members were carried on the backs of thePortuguese in front of the Mandarin of Canton with the playingof musical instruments and rejoicing, were exhibited suspended in thestreets, and were then thrown into the dunghills.
-ToméPires, Armando Cortesão, Francisco Rodrigues (1990). Armando Cortesão,ed. The Suma oriental of Tome Pires:an account of the East, from the Red Sea to China, written in Malacca and Indiain 1512-1515 ; and, The book of Francisco Rodrigues : Pilot-Major of the armadathat discovered Banda and the Moluccas : rutter of a voyage in the red sea,nautical rules, almanack
In 1522, some Portuguese merchants/pirates like Simão de Andradedecided kidnapping Chinese children to sell as slaves overseas was somethingthey could get away with (as Japanese slaves had proved profitablealready). In response the Ming dynasty destroyed Portuguese forts on landand gunned down or boarded armed Portuguese fleets on the seas.
Portuguese were publicly castrated, had theirdicks stuffed in their mouths, and dismembered as Chinese citizens joviallyplayed music. 
The Portuguese who weren't slavers largely blamed the slaver'sfor bringing down the wrath of the Chinese on them and did not bear a grudgeagainst the Ming (because there's still money to be made!). Whenthey proved their good behavior for a few decades straight, theseprofit-oriented immigrants got to be tenants in rented land on Macau in 1557.
The Ming dynasty admiral and martial artist Yu Dayou (1503-1579)had this to say about the fighting ability of Portuguese when compared to hismarines:
"[Portuguese] people's only weapon is a soft sword,their naval combat ability is inferior to our soldiers, and on the ground, longspears would have subdued them. Only their muskets are sophisticated and theirlarge cannons are powerful."
The Ming were quick to adapt any advancements Portuguese cannonshad over their own, as well as add their own metallurgical expertise forimprovements. As for man portable firearms, Japanese-made muskets wereconsidered the highest quality.
two-meter long katana-like blades were also popular dueto Japanese influence
European forces were also having trouble withEast Asian pirates that were nowhere near as well equipped as an officialmilitary, like this letter from the Spanish colonies in Southeast Asia to KingFelipe II asking for more soldiers shows:
“This land suffers from a constant and pressing need of reinforcements, on account not only of its unhealthful climate, but of the many emergencies which continually arise when I must send aid. These occasions now are not so much a matter of jest as they have been hitherto; for the Chinese and Japanese are not Indians, but people as valiant as many on the inhabitants of Berberia [Barbary], and even more so. I entreat your Majesty to give careful attention to this, and to order that in all vessels as many men as possible be sent; for it is the key to what is necessary for the preservation of this camp.”
Portuguese also practiced the internationalslave trade in Japan, but it was met with government opposition:
“This isunbearable to me,” [Hideyoshi] said in 1587 upon learning from one of hisofficials that the Portuguese “buy hundreds of Japanese menand women. Their hands and feet are chained, and they are driven into thebottom of the ships. This is far beyond the punishment in Hell …”
-The rarely, if ever, told story of Japanesesold as slaves by Portuguese traders | The Japan Times
This lead to an association with European Christianity withslavery, as those Portuguese slavers were also trying to convert Japanese andhired Christian Japanese to work on their ships. The Japanese government wasable to pressure the Portuguese king to condemn slavery in Japan due to theirlucrative trade agreements, but a few decades later Japan just closed itselfoff from all foreigners.

为了让他们明白：中国人毫不在意葡萄牙人，人们也就懒得讨论葡萄牙人了。然后在两位船长没有同意的情况下，我们的船捕获了，所有的船都被带走了，人全被杀光了。他们的头和残肢被剩余的葡萄牙人扛着走在广东的大街上，在一片欢快的音乐声中，他们被处于绞刑，然后被扔进粪坑
----Tomé Pires, Armando Cortesão, Francisco Rodrigues (1990). Armando Cortesão, ed.《东方志：从红海到中国》
1522年，一些葡萄牙商人/海盗，比如Simão de Andrade就打算在离开中国的时候绑架一些中国小孩，然后带到海外当奴隶（因为在日本的奴隶贸易获利丰厚）。作为回应，明朝在陆地上摧毁了葡萄牙人的堡垒，并在海上摧毁了葡萄牙舰队。
葡萄牙人当众被阉割，然后丁丁被塞到嘴里，然后在欢快的中国音乐声中被凌迟。

非奴隶主葡萄牙人严厉指责奴隶主葡萄牙人将中国人的怒火引到他们身上，忍受不了明朝对其的愤怒（因为他们也要赚钱的！）。而当他们品行端正了几十年以后，这群以利益为导向的移民最终在1557年获得了澳门作为租地。
明朝海军上将/武术家俞大猷（1503-1579）这样形容葡萄牙人对比明军的战斗力：
“葡萄牙人唯一的武器就是一把软剑，他们的海战能力比我们的士兵差远了，而在陆地上，长矛也能制服他们，只有火枪稍微复杂，还有就是大炮的威力比较大”
明朝很快就吸收了葡萄牙大炮的精华并应用到自己的大炮上，并且加上明朝自身冶金技术的优势来改进大炮。至于便携武器，日本制火枪可能是质量最上乘的。


 
受到日本的影响，一种两米长类似武士刀的武器也很受欢迎，

欧洲军队也遭到了东亚海盗的袭扰，海盗们无处不在且装备精良如同官兵，就如这封来自东南亚的西班牙殖民者、发往国王菲利佩二世的信件中说的一样。
“这片土地压力山大急需援兵，不仅气候不好，而且当我必须发送援助时，不断出现的许多紧急情况。这些场合是迄今为止最糟糕事情；因为中国人与日本不像印度人，他们十分英勇，英勇得就像野蛮人一样，甚至比野蛮人更甚。恳求陛下注意这一点，所有的船只尽量多派点人，因为这是保持阵营的关键。”
葡萄牙人还在日本开战奴隶贸易，但是遭到政府的反对。

“这真是让我难以承受” Hideyoshi在1587年听一位葡萄牙官员说道，“买了几百个日本男女，用锁链锁住手和脚，把他们赶进船底，这中惩罚简直比地狱还可怕”
----日本时报，少有的一家媒体讲述了关于日本人被卖做葡萄牙奴隶的故事
这导致了欧洲基督教徒从此走上贩卖奴隶的道路，这些葡萄牙人还试图运送日本人，雇佣日本基督教徒在他们的船上工作。日本政府也谴责葡萄牙人进行奴隶贸易，因为之前他们就有互利的贸易协定，但是几十年后，日本人直接关停止了所有对外贸易。

Forcontext, Columbus' last voyage to the Americas was in 1502. The number of shipshe had on each voyage: 3,17,6 and 30
Let's take the Chinese, for example. Theydefeated Portugal in Battle of Tunmen in 1521, and whenthe Portuguese were dumb enough to pick a fight again, just a year later, theChinese won again - Battle of Xicaowan. Now, imagine thelaughter coming from the Ming court when they are told that some dude with 3/17/6/30or whatever ships was coming to .... um, "wipe them out?"
The 16th century Native Americans were for all intents andpurposes stuck in the stone age for a variety of reasons. Asia was mostcertainly not, and Europe was just beginning to pull ahead in technology,bureaucracy and banking
There were 3 reasons for Chris' easy victories over the NativeAmericans:
1. Disease - Christian Bergland explained thisso damn well.
2. No draft animal (There were no horses inPre-Columbian America) - If I came on a War Charger, would you like to fight mefrom the ground?
3. No metal weaponry (no guns either, obviously)- If I came on an armored War Charger wielding a musket, would you like tofight me with an Obsidian spear and a leather pelt?

Asian countries had - 
1. Resistance to European diseases, 
2. Outstanding horses, and 
3. Excellent metal and gunpowder weaponry –
China (Ming dynasty) -Musketry, Light Cavalry, Heavy Artillery (cannons), and  Dalianzhu cannons(Rocket Artillery)
India (Delhi Sultanate) -Musketry, Light and Heavy Cavalry, Heavy artillery(regular as well as WarElephant-mounted), rocketry, and siege mines.
The onlyserious disadvantages early 16th century Asian empires had weresocio-political.
Chris' voyages were well funded, but not funded well enough towipe out 50% of the World's GDP.
Conclusion:Chris was a good navigator, but he wasn't really wipe out half theworld's population and wealth material, savvy?

哥伦布最后一次往美洲的航程是在1502年，他每次航程所有的船只数量分别为3、17、6和30条。
现在我们看看中国，在1521年的屯门海战中，他们打败了葡萄牙，当葡萄牙人惊掉下巴准备第二次战斗时，就在第二年，中国人又赢得了西草湾海战。来，咱来想象一下明朝朝廷传来的笑声，明朝朝廷被告知，他们派了3艘、17艘、6艘、30艘…..船…船！！   不管派多少船，给我全整死。
而在16世纪的时候，美洲原住民由于多方面原因还停留在石器时代。亚洲则完全不是这种情况，而当时欧洲才刚刚开始在技术、政治、以及银行方面领先。
哥伦布能轻松击败美洲人的原因有3
1. 疾病---前面的答主Christian Bergland已经解释得相当精彩了
2. 没有耕畜（前哥伦布时代的美洲没有马）--如果发生战争，你愿意在陆地上与我战斗吗？
3. 没有金属武器（显然也没有枪啦）---如果发生战争，你愿意穿着皮毛衣、拿着石矛与挥舞着火枪的人对着干么？

而亚洲国家拥有---
1.      欧洲疾病的抗性
2.      出色的马匹
3.  完美的金属以及火药兵器。
中国（明朝）--步枪，轻骑兵，重炮（加农炮）以及大连珠炮（火箭炮）
印度（德里苏丹国） --步枪，轻、重骑兵，重炮（与战象一同装备），火箭，地雷。
16世纪亚洲帝国唯一严重的劣势只有社会---政治方面。



北美+拉美人口被亚洲完爆



哥伦布的航行干得不错，但是还不足以横扫世界50%的GDP
结论：哥伦布是个优秀的航海家，但是还不足以灭绝全球半数人口和财富

No,he would have been greeted as a quaint foreigner and then sent on his way afterthe exchange of a few goods.  If he tried any funny business, he and hiswhole crew would have been slaughtered, as would anyone who followed in hispath.
Crops, animals, and most importantly, diseases, flowedfreely across all the major civilizations of Eurasia.
Massive epidemics, including the Black Death, were not unique to Europe. As a result, people from epidemics to Mecca to Malacca had the same resistance todiseases.  In fact, East Asians were more equipped for dealing with somediseases than their European counterparts.  Inoculation against smallpox,the primary killer of Native Americans, became widespread in 16th centuryChina.  Meanwhile, this practice was not even first introduced to Europeuntil the 18th century after slowly spreading westwards.  There was areason why Asia was not colonized until far later, when Europeans gained adecisive advantage in military technology and doctrine.  
Meanwhile European treatments still consisted ofdying and dying indignantly

Then, there is the fact that Asian societieswere far more advanced and developed than American Indian ones as well. China and India both had populations and economies roughly equal to thatof the entire European landmass.  Their armies had asmany guns and steel weapons as their European counterparts.  These twofactors essentially made Asian states impossible for Europeans to conquer byforce.  Don't believe me?  There are examples from Columbus' time.

In 1521, in response to the Portuguese attackingthe Ming tributary of Malacca and kidnapping a few children to sell as slaves,the Ming fleet sallied to fight at Tuen Mun, decisively defeating thePortuguese.  Rematches occurred in each of the next two years, with thesame result.  The Portuguese came in, were defeated, and then had themajority of their prisoners tortured and executed.  Finally, in 1524, Mingleaders had enough and executed the Portuguese embassy in China as well as theremaining prisoners.  They were castrated, had their genitals stuffed intheir mouths, and then beheaded.  A few sailors were kept alive to carrythe remains of their compatriots through the streets of Guangzhou for theamusement of Chinese citizens.  After this macabre celebration, the lastPortuguese were killed.  For the next few decades, any Portuguese sailorwho landed on China was killed on sight.

作物，动物，还有最重要的疾病，在欧亚大陆的所有主要文明之间畅通无阻。
大规模流行病包括黑死病，也不会只出现在欧洲，结果是，从麦加到马六甲，人们都会有相同的疾病抵抗力。事实上，东亚对类似流行病的准备措施比欧洲同行还要多。像天花这种初级玩意杀杀美洲原住民还行，而中国在16世纪就已经广泛接种天花疫苗了。这种接种措施首次出现在欧洲的时间是18世纪。这就是亚洲为啥在之后很久才被殖民的原因，18世纪之后的欧洲才在军事科技以及教育领域取得大幅优势。


 
（图中显示中国人如何接种疫苗）此时的欧洲的治疗方法还是狗带

所以，那时候亚洲社会比美洲印第安地区先进发达得多。中国和印度的人口数量分别可以比肩整个欧洲大陆。他们的军队拥有的枪支、金属兵器的数量也不会比欧洲少。这些因素导致了欧洲根本没有能力用武力征服亚洲国家并开展殖民。
在1521年的时候，葡萄牙人袭击了明朝附属国马六甲，并且绑架了一些儿童来做奴隶，作为报复，明朝派舰队前往屯门攻击葡萄牙，果断的击败了葡萄牙人。之后两年里每年都爆发过战争，当然结局还是一样，葡萄牙完败。他们大部分沦为阶下囚遭受折磨然后被处决。最后在1524年，明朝把葡萄牙使节与余下的囚犯一并处决。他们被阉割，丁丁被塞到嘴里，然后被斩首。少数活下来的水手扛着同胞的残肢在广州接头游街，供广州市民娱乐。在这场可怕的庆典之后，最后的葡萄牙人也被杀光了。之后的几十年里，只要有葡萄牙水手登陆中国就格杀勿论。

There isa lot of talk of disease, but that’s not even the most important factor.
Asia had more advanced civilization than anything in Europe inthe 16th century.
Native Americans didn't even have steel yet, they had no horses,and they didn't have guns.
China had cannons and rocket bombs. Yes, explosive rockets.Also flamethrowers, land mines, and naval mines. These aren't things Europeansever even thought about until the 19th century. They had better steel and couldmore easily manufacture more of it. They also had VAST populations capable tofighting.
China’s population at the time was around 200 million. JustChina, not counting any other Asian countries of the time, like Japan, Korea,Vietnam, or any of the empires of the Indian subcontinent.
Europe, ALL of Europe, was around 90 million people.
So you tell me, how far do you think the Kingdom of Spain (˜6million people), would have gotten in an attempt to enslave the populations ofAsia on their own home turf, who had vastly superior weaponry, manufacturingcapabilities, and 30 TIMES as many fighting age men just in China alone?

很多人说了疾病，但是疾病并不是最重要的因素
在16世纪的时候，亚洲文明在任何方面都比欧洲先进。
而此时美洲人甚至都没有铁器呢，也没有马，当然也没有火枪了。
中国则有大炮及火箭炮。是的，爆炸火箭。还有火焰喷射器，地雷，水雷。在19世纪之前，这些东西对于欧洲人来说完全无法想象。他们的金属也比欧洲好，并且制造起来十分容易。而且他们还有巨量能参与战斗的人口。
中国那时候有2亿人。只是中国而已，还不包括其他亚洲国家比如日本、韩国、越南，以及印度次大陆的一些帝国。
而欧洲、、、整个欧洲大概只有9000万人口。
所以你告诉我，西班牙王国（600万人）如何试图在亚洲的势力范围奴役他们？他们有大量先进武器，强大的制造能力，仅仅中国就有30倍于西班牙的适龄战斗人员。

The premise of yourquestion is flawed. Christopher Colombus, and even most of those who followed,didn't wipe out the Indigenous peoples they encountered; try as theymight.

Even the Tahino, a people indigenous to Cuba and other Caribbeanislands, have come forward to show they weren't eradicated as previouslythought.

你的问题在前提上就有缺陷，哥伦布、包括跟随他的大部分人，并没有灭绝他们遇到的土着人；当然他们可能试过。哥伦布奴役、剥削、征服土着居民，用武器和疾病杀害了无数的土着人民，

Columbus did not wipe out the Native Americans.
Disease did.
Europeans had domesticated large amounts of livestock, resulting in morepathogens jumping species to humans. Native Americans had not domesticated asmany animals and thus had not contracted many plagues.
If Columbus reached Asia as he planned, he'dhave received his commission, Spain would have eclipsed the Middle Easternmonopoly of the Silk Road, and Spain may have become more influential inEurope.

哥伦布并没有灭绝美洲土着人
是疾病导致他们灭绝的
欧洲人驯养了大量牲畜，这导致了更多的病原体感染人类。美洲土着人驯养的动物比较少，所以他们接触过的瘟疫也就少些

No, he wouldn't have been allowed to by the Europeans. Believe it or not, there were multiple European generals who wanted to invadeand take over China, China had enough population that it could hold its owninto the industrial period.  It is also of note that China was likemultiple different countries, that is why even Japan with tiny population couldconquer giant China.  The European states had an agreement that no onewould completly conquer China because the Europeans, English, Spanish, french,dutch etc were making so much money off of China that it would not have beenbeneficial to invade it.  Alot of the things of values were things likefine china, or porcelain.  The Europeans had nothing the Chienese wantedso they sold them drugs from colonies in afghanistan and india.  Thisworked out well for the europeans.  They sold drugs that grew wild in asiato Chinese for something worth lots of money in europe. The european money camefrom slavery in the america and stolen indian land.  There would have beenno logic in invading china for them anyways, they were taking out every dollarby selling opium that it wasn't necessary to invade it to control it.  Therest of Asia except Thailand which was a buffer and Japan got colonized andenslaved to some degree.  Genocide was out the question because theeuropeans were too outnumbered and it was unproductive.
Genocide worked well when you had a small population that hasnowhere to run to.  In the case of China and India, they were countriesmade up of dozens of smaller nations who would join together in times of war tofight off foreign invaders.  The natives ahd no such internal agreement sothey got conquered faster.  even the africans had a similar agreement andlarger population so genocide was much more difficult.  Asia is a giantcontinent, it would be hard to pull off。
For instance,Nigeria, a country with less than 1/10th of the population of china was able torepel european invasion until the 1900s.

不不不，欧洲不会允许他这么干。信不信由你，有一大票欧洲将军想要入侵中国，中国有足够人口，可以自己进入工业革命时期。而且需要意识到的是，中国就像一票不同国家的组合，这就是日本能用少量的人员征服中国的原因。欧洲国家之间有协议，谁也不能完全征服中国，因为英国、西班牙、法国、荷兰等等从中国赚了很多钱，所以入侵中国谁也得不到好处。中国有很多值钱的东西，比如瓷器。而欧洲没有中国想要的东西，所以他们通过殖民地阿富汗和印度往中国运送毒品。入侵中国，对他们来说逻辑上根本说不通。他们通过贩卖鸦片来获取利润，根本没有必要入侵和控制中国。亚洲余下部分，除了泰国用来作为缓冲地带外，日本也遭遇了一定程度的奴役和殖民。种族灭绝？不存在的，因为欧洲人口太少寡不敌众，这样做完全是徒然。
种族灭绝政策只有在你有少量无处可去人口的情况下才有比较好的效果。而在中国和印度，他们是由许许多多小国组成的，一旦战争爆发，他们会凝聚在一起抵抗外敌。而在美洲，他们（小国）之间没有这样的协议所以很快就会被征服。即使是在非洲也有类似协议，所以种族灭绝也困难得多。亚洲是一个巨型大陆，想拿下亚洲是很难的。
比如尼日利亚，一个人口不到中国1/10的国家，在1900年代都有能力击退欧洲侵略者。
