Chapter 210 Winner
England, of course, no invitation was received.
Chen Mu only had two invitations to the conference of all countries, one to the west and the other to the east.
To the west are many vassal states that have been associated with the entire Greater Chinese cultural circle; to the east, to the east, Fellower and Gelaoqi took the lead in inviting Catholic countries to the world and went to Ottoman to meet with Murad Sudan and discuss the invitation of Sultan from all over the country.
England, like many grounds such as the Netherlands, does not belong to any of these three worlds.
What's more, it also has territorial disputes with the First World Kingdom of Ayran and the throne disputes with the Second World leader Fei Laoer.
Who would invite?
One of the requirements that the Bald in Spain was willing to take the lead in doing this for Chen Mu was that he could not invite the Queen of England to send envoys, because Bald in Spain did not recognize that England was an independent country, that was his territory, and that he was the king of Spain and England.
On this issue, Philip was very clear about his position. He never mentioned how the Kingdom of Ayran is next to him, but just reminded Chen Mu very hard that he was the King of England.
Why? You can't beat Chen Mu, and you can't beat you in England?
And in the English court, the less anyone invited them, the more anxious they were like ants on a hot pan... Spain, France, Holy Rome, even Poland, Hungary and even Italy's wealthy city-states were invited. What's going on if you don't come alone to invite England?
Although England has more intelligence than any continental country collected by the best intelligence network on the entire European continent, in fact, all countries do not know what the so-called General Assembly of the World means and what they are going to do.
Naturally, England had no way of knowing that, under their common sense, it was considered a brand new alliance, or one or several United Kingdoms.
This obviously poses a great threat to England.
What really makes them anxious is trying to break through the deadlock and be powerless.
Last September, England intercepted this information and tried to send envoys from London to the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other Protestant countries to form an alliance to fight against the General Assembly of the World.
But boom!
The ship carrying the messenger was sunk by the Roche.
Send again.
Bang!
The ship carrying the messenger was sunk by the Roche in the English Channel again.
After dragging, they dragged until December. This time, their messengers finally boarded the French land and took the Netherlands by land.
It sounds quite annoying. Under normal circumstances, wars will not affect the exchanges of intelligence personnel. After all, sailors in naval battles sank or capture ships, and most of the prisoners will be released after asking for ransom.
But the sailors of the Ming Dynasty did not do this, and they were entrusted by others.
Bai Laohu, a serious businessman from Asia in Daming and now lives in Ailan, made a special trip to write a letter to Yingming, Han Jinhuan and other Ming generals to acquire prisoners and go to Ailan to work as miners.
This is quite interesting. The people of Ayran have experienced hundreds of years of war and adult men are unwilling to specialize in production. Even though the battle in Dublin has been completed, they still try to ask the nobles and the king to go to England to support General Yingming's war in Puli.
They wanted to obtain immigration qualifications, leave the barren and barren Ayran, and settle in England separated by the Straits.
Zhu Xiaoen, the king of Ailan, lost his enterprising spirit after conquering Dublin and managed Ailan with all his might. Naturally, he was happy to send the brave and fierce soldiers to England to weaken the power of the Ailan nobles.
Combined with the upper and lower levels, more than 5,000 Ailan soldiers immigrated to Puli within half a year. The government granted 50 acres of land to each household on the border, intending to teach them that the military households have no worries, and the remaining people have food to make them build villages to protect themselves and reduce the burden on the Ming army.
But wishes are always good, but reality is often different from wishes.
These originally poor warriors of Ayran received a lot of rewards in their long battles, including weapons, armor, war horses, and knowledge of Chinese. The fields they granted were placed closer to the fiefs of the English nobles, living with a few Hakkas from the Ming Dynasty, and having all the conditions to become an army.
On the border control line in Pulissi, because of hunting, water sources, different laws and obstructive customs, they quickly had conflicts with the English nobles. The scattered soldiers quickly united, ranging from thousands to hundreds of them. They recommended that people be the leaders of the Ming Dynasty report border conflicts to the government and requested to cross the border to attack the thieves.
Puli, a county under the Ming Dynasty, had incomplete administrative capabilities because there were no serious civil affairs officials.
They only have the Thunder and Lightning King, the Heavenly King of Plague Rescue, and the Lord of Blasting Master Cao.
Master Cao knew nothing about civil affairs and mingled with the soldiers whose nose was raised to the cover of the sky spirit all day long. He heard that a wild boar was shot to death by someone on the border because of a wild boar. He was very restrained if he didn't send refined arsenic to the border people to command them to cross the border and poison them.
In fact, he almost got out and was persuaded by Master Wei. General Ying Ming led his army to confront the English on the eastern border. Wei Si did not want the nobles who surrendered to the west to cause trouble for General Ying again, so he volunteered to go to the western border of Devon.
In fact, he didn't need to intervene in this matter. The people had already recommended nine leaders to form a hall, each with hundreds of troops, waiting for the government to cross the border to attack the thief with an order.
Wei Si's arrival was support from the government for the nine halls.
Cornwall's nobles, who were still under the militia system, were attacked.
All the translations of the British ‘royal’ in later generations actually had big problems. The word ‘royal’ is actually a kingdom, so England had a royal navy.
But why did there not be a royal army until hundreds of years later?
Because the navy targets foreign enemies, the king has a standing army, which will threaten the lord and offend everyone before he is born.
The ancient military system did not affect the combat effectiveness of soldiers. It only needed to gather a few nobles to gather the troops in one place and change the organization by learning from the Spanish to change their organization.
But the ancient soldier system has a great impact on mobilization ability.
Even worse than Ailan Bing under the military household registration system.
The nine halls each supported the leader, who claimed to be a thousand households, led six or seven hundred soldiers to connect with each other, and at the same time, they rushed their troops across the Fuyi River and the Camor River. Except for the castles on the farmland, they were almost invincible.
Even ordinary castles could not stop their attack.
During the wars, the coastal areas of Cornwall were often encountered. Not only did the Ming army pass through the coast when sailing to Puli County, but their own pirates sometimes went ashore to plunder, leaving large areas of fields along the coast deserted, and a large number of refugees who lost their land entered the factories of nobles and merchants.
Almost unresistible.
The only one who can slow down the attacks of the nine halls in the west are the prisoners.
If you break through a village and a factory, you will have hundreds of prisoners... For a normal army, as long as the people surrender, they will not become prisoners.
But these Ming leaders of the Sergeant Alan came here to ask for land and were unwilling to share it with others; while the Sergeant Alan had all experienced the Battle of Dublin, and they only needed people wherever they needed them.
