Zhang Si's luck and choice are always problematic, but his vision is not bad, and every time he chooses a place, it is an outlet.

People who went to the same places and did not do the same things as him later became rich.

But the location where he led the fleet to the shore was really a good place.

In less than a month, there were four merchant ships that bypassed the blockade of the English from the Strait, one Spanish and three Ming ships.

The Ming ship came for no purpose, they were Tang Er's ship, and the Oriental Military Government asked him to set up a trading post in Ireland, so he had been working the other side of the Channel, until the beginning of this year, he contacted the new Governor of Ireland, Earl Grey, through the Governor's secretary Aemond Spencer, and after escorting Earl Grey to Dublin, he negotiated the origin of a copper mine near Dublin and was allowed to sail around the island of Ireland.

England's colonization of Ireland was a failure, and the military repression led to local resistance at far greater cost than the impoverished English royal family could have imagined, and until now the crown had only a small area of land under direct control near Dublin.

The naïve and kind-hearted governor, Earl Grey, hopes to create an opportunity for the royal family to further control the land through the appearance of the Ming merchants.

The English royal family was naturally poor, but the unrivalled resistance of the Irish was the main reason for the failure of English colonization, and in the counties near Tyrone in the northeast, the descendants of most family heads had resisted the British colonists for fifty years.

The long resistance even changed the dress habits of the Irish, who liked to wear a long, thick felt cloak that a longbow could not sometimes shoot through, to keep out the rain when it rained, to keep out the wind when it was windy, to keep warm when it was cold, to be a bed in the forest, and ...... Encounter the English as armor.

The cloak was a good thing, creating an opportunity for the tomahawk to split the heads of the British.

The hatred between the two sides was so great that even the Ottoman Sultan could not stand the great potato famine in Ireland and sent two ships carrying food to help the victims, but the United Kingdom could only express regret and indifference to this - and not completely indifferent - they tried to block the Ottoman relief boats.

But Ireland and Spain were good friends, and there were quite a few Irish men serving in the Spanish Legion; They also listened very much to the Holy See, and this excellent habit continued, and the Holy See allowed the Irish to have more children, so that until the twenty-first century, Irish families usually had eight to ten children.

"Spanish friends, what are they doing here?"

It's been a month since the last time he had fried pork on the riverside, and Ying Ming has won two more easy victories...... In fact, it is becoming more and more difficult to fight now, and the cavalry has not been attritional, but the number of battles, the small scale, and the easy victory have made them very tired.

But the good news is that the news of the return of Earl Tyrone Sean O'Neill has spread in the county, and it is already known that Earl Tyrone is supported by an army from a distant land, and they are called fallen demons by the surrounding lords due to the return of the Earls to abolish Catholicism and build a Chinese literature hall in the realm, as well as the recent frequent and repeated victories of the Restoration Army and the vanguard cavalry.

Ying Ming was proud to have the same title as the revered marshal, and at the same time expressed contempt for the lack of words used by the monks they drove away.

Everything is depraved and demonic.

At the same time, because this is a top-down conversion, and it is not as violent as the Ming army's direct demolition of churches, in most cases, many monks voluntarily learn Chinese, and hope to continue to teach sinology in the Ailan Kingdom in the near future.

In a month's absence, the estuary had changed considerably, and the surrounding tribes living in the woods had moved here more than three hundred families, and the Irish were not so productive at this time, and each family usually had only three or four children.

There was no shortage of trees and stones, and they burned bricks and built some wooden and stone houses, but the houses were still not enough, but fortunately, the people drilled through the forest and were frost-resistant.

"They were friendly, saw us here and decided not to go any further, asked us for some news and asked us to inspect the cargo on board...... I don't know why. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Si's eyes widened as if he was telling something new, and he said to Ming: "They seem to be a little scared, it seems that the old king with handcuffs made them misunderstand, and we are still at a loss, but the old king has already agreed, let all the Spaniards stand under the ship, and one person gets on the ship to check all the goods, and is so skilled that it is enviable." ”

Wang Quan stood aside and was a little embarrassed, his only right hand seemed to have nowhere to place, rubbed the back of his neck and squinted and smiled: "Isn't this quite ordinary, when I was practicing caravan escort in Daxi Port, it was like this, that ship ran through that route, and knew the rules." ”

This was also new to the Ming Dynasty, who had not dealt with the Spanish ships at the seashore because he had been stationed at Chang Sheng, and asked, "What about the future, what is it carrying?" ”

"Some weapons, thirty arquebuses, and Toledo's sword, more than two hundred iron spearheads, and forty pairs of standard cuirasses, probably the armament of a company of Spaniards, whose captain said that a nobleman named Arthur under the reign of Prince Chaun had ordered it, and the money had been given."

Wang Quan's words made Ying Ming hold his chin and fall into contemplation, and only after a while did he slowly say: "I seem to have killed three Arthurs recently, and there are many people who call this this." ”

Zhu Xiaoen did not start to conquer the outside world, he was not in Tyrone for too long, and those vassals were not very obedient, so the Restoration Army and the vanguard cavalry were busy helping him pacify the interior for nearly two months.

There is no way to do this, if you don't pacify the interior, you can't supply these 1,400 elite troops, and if you don't raise these elite troops for nothing, relying solely on the conscripted armed farmers will not form a military advantage among the other counts, and starting a war will only increase the number of casualties.

Back to the dialogue between Wang Quan and Ying Ming, this is probably the two most oriental logical dialogues on the island of Ireland, because Ying Ming doesn't need to ask anymore.

He saw the Ming overseer on the construction site in the distance wearing a Western-made high-topped helmet, wearing an inferior standard cuirass without a single pattern, and carrying a Spanish musket on his shoulder; And the surrendered peasants he had left here to protect the immigrants were being repeatedly practiced by Tao Laohu with a spear that was eight feet long.

"I just tried to convince them to keep the cargo, but the captain agreed very happily and seemed to be in a hurry to leave."

Wang Quan nodded slowly, his words were very sincere, he looked back and pointed to the newly built house in the distance and said, "There are also three Spanish horses, they are too edible, we don't have enough food, general, are you?" ”
