Chapter 454 Oriental Logic
Zhang Si always has problems with his luck and choice, but his vision is pretty good, and every time he chooses, he is a hot spot.
People who went to the same place and did not do the same thing later became rich.
But the location where he led the fleet to dock was really a good place.
In just one month, four merchant ships that bypassed the English blockade from the Strait, one Spanish ship and three Ming ships.
The Ming ship had no purpose. They were Tang Er's ship. The Eastern Military Office asked him to set up a trading station in Ireland, so he worked hard on the other side of the strait until the beginning of this year. He contacted the new Irish Gregor Earl Grey through the Governor-General Secretary Earl Grey. After escorting Count Grey to Dublin, he discussed the reasons for the mining rights of a copper mine near Dublin. He was allowed to sail around the Ireland Islands.
England's colonization in Ireland was very failed. Military suppression brought strong local resistance, and the expenditure was far beyond the imagination of the poor English royal family. Until now, the land directly controlled by the royal family was still only a small piece of land near Dublin.
The innocent and kind governor Earl Grey hopes to create opportunities for the royal family to further control this land by the emergence of the Ming merchants.
The English royal family was naturally poor, but the unparalleled resistance of the Irish people was the main reason for the failure of England's colonial failure. In several counties near Tyrone in the northeast, the descendants of most family leaders had resisted the British colonists for fifty years.
The long resistance even changed the dressing habits of the Irish people. They fell in love with felt cloaks that were so thick that they could not be shot through at long bows, blocking the rain when it rains, keeping the wind when it blows, keeping warm when it is cold, working as beds in the forest, and... meeting English as armor.
The cape is a good thing, creating opportunities for the battle axe to split the British's heads.
The hatred between the two sides was so great that even the Ottoman Sultan could not bear it during the Irish potato famine. He sent two ships carrying food to help the victims. However, the United Kingdom could only express regret and indifferent to this - not completely indifferent. They tried to block the Ottoman disaster relief ship.
But Ireland and Spain are good friends, and there are many Irish people serving in the Spanish Legion; they also listened very much to the Holy See, and this excellent habit has continued. The Holy See allows Irish people to have more children, so until the 21st century, Irish families usually have eight to ten children.
"Spanish friends, what are they doing here?"
It has been a month since the last time I ate fried pork on the riverside, and Ying Ming won two more relaxed victories... In fact, it is becoming increasingly difficult to fight now, and the cavalry still has not reduced their staff, but the number of times and the scale is small, and the easy battles that win easily make them very tired.
But the good news is that the news that Earl of Tyrone, Sean O'Neill, has spread in the Earl's territory, and people have already known that Earlone has received support from an army from a distant country. Because the return Count announced the abolition of Catholicism and the establishment of the Chinese literature school in the territory, and the terrifying record of the Restoration Army and the Pioneer Cavalry have recently been frequently dispatched to win repeatedly, they were called the fallen demons by the great lords around them.
Ying Ming was proud of this evaluation because he had the same title as the respected marshal, and at the same time he despised the monks who were driven away by them for lack of words.
Everything is depravity and devil.
At the same time, since this is a top-down conversion of religion, it is not as violent as the Ming army directly demolishing the church. In most cases, many monks voluntarily studied Chinese and hoped to continue to serve as monks teaching Chinese studies in the near future.
After not seeing each other for a month, the estuary has changed a lot. More than 300 families have moved here to the tribes living in the forest. In this era, Irish people are not as capable of having children. A family usually has only three or four children.
There is no shortage of trees and stones here. They burned bricks and built some wooden and stone houses, but the houses were still not enough. Fortunately, the local people penetrated the forest and were freezing.
"They were friendly and decided not to move forward when they saw us here, so they asked us for some information and asked us to check the cargo on the ship...I don't know why."
Speaking of this, Zhang Si widened his eyes as if he was telling something novel, corresponding to Ming Ming: "They seemed a little scared. It seemed that Lao Wang, who had a pistol, made them misunderstand. We were at a loss, so Lao Wang had already agreed to let all the Spaniards stand under the boat and check all the goods on board alone. He was so skillful that he was enviable."
Wang Quan stood aside and felt a little embarrassed by being praised. His only right hand seemed to have nowhere to be placed. He rubbed the back of his neck and squinted his eyes and said, "Isn't this normal? I was like this when I was practicing caravan guards in Daxi Port. The boat ran across that route and knew the rules."
This is also very novel for Ming Ming. Because he has been stationed in Changsheng, he did not deal with the Spanish ship by the sea and asked, "What happened later? What was the ship carrying?"
"Some weapons, thirty raids, Toledo's sword, more than 200 iron spearheads and forty pairs of standard breastplates, probably the armed forces of a Spanish company. Their captain said that it was an aristocrat named Arthur under the rule of Prince Xiaoen, and the money had been given."
Wang Quan's words made Yingming hold his chin and fall into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said: "I seem to have killed three Arthurs recently, and many people call this."
Zhu Xiaoen did not begin to conquer the outside world. He was not in Tailong for too long, and those vassals were not very obedient. Therefore, the Restoration Army and the Pioneer Cavalry were busy helping him pacify the interior for nearly two months.
This is impossible. If you fail to calm down, you will not be able to provide these 1,400 elite troops. If you do not raise these elite troops, relying solely on the recruited armed farmers will not be able to form a military advantage among other earls. Starting a war will only increase casualties.
Back to the conversation between Wang Quan and Ying Ming, this is probably the two most oriental logic conversations on the Ireland Island, because Ying Ming no longer needs to ask any further questions afterwards.
He saw the Ming supervisor on the construction site in the distance wearing a high-top helmet, wearing a low-quality breastplate without any patterns, and walking around with Spanish muskets on his shoulders. The surrendered farmers who were left here to protect the immigrants were being repeatedly practiced by Tao Laohu with a spear that was lifted up to 18 feet long.
"I just tried it and convinced them to leave the goods, but the captain agreed very readily and seemed to be in a hurry to leave."
