open sea

Chapter 1137 Toyo Logic
There are always problems with Zhang Si's luck and choices, but he has a good vision, and every time he chooses a place, it is an outlet.

Those who went to the same place and did not do the same thing as him all got rich later.

But the position where he leads the fleet to shore is really a good place.

In less than a month, four merchant ships, one Spanish ship, and three open ships, bypassed the English blockade from the channel.

There is no purpose for the Ming ships to come here. They are Tang Er’s ships. The Eastern Military Government asked him to set up a trading station in Ireland, so he has been working hard on the other side of the strait. It was not until the beginning of this year that the door was opened. Serge contacted the new Governor of Ireland, Earl Gray. After escorting Earl Gray to Dublin, he negotiated the right to exploit a copper mine near Dublin and got permission to sail around the island of Ireland.

England's colonization in Ireland failed. Military suppression brought strong local resistance, and the expenditure far exceeded the imagination of the poor English royal family. Until now, the land directly controlled by the royal family is only a small piece of land near Dublin.

The innocent and kind-hearted Governor, Earl Gray, hoped that with the emergence of Ming businessmen, he would create opportunities for the royal family to further control this land.

The English royal family is naturally poor, but the unparalleled resistance of the Irish is the main reason for the failure of English colonization. In several counties near Tyrone in the northeast, the descendants of most family leaders have resisted the British colonists for 50 years.

The long resistance has even changed the dressing habits of the Irish. They like to wear long felt cloaks that are so thick that longbows can't shoot through them sometimes. A bed in the forest, and... an armor when you meet an Englishman.

The cloak is a good thing, it creates an opportunity for the tomahawk to split the head of the British.

The hatred between the two sides was so great that even the Ottoman Sultan couldn't stand it during the potato famine in Ireland. He sent two ships carrying food to relieve the victims, but the United Kingdom could only express regret and be indifferent to this—nor In complete indifference, they tried to block Ottoman's relief ship.

But Ireland and Spain are good friends, and there are many Irishmen serving in the Spanish Legion; they also listen to the Holy See very much, and this excellent habit has continued. Eight to ten children.

"Friends from Spain, what are they doing here?"

It has been a month since the last time I ate fried pork by the river, and Ying Ming won two more easy victories... In fact, it is getting more and more difficult to fight now. Fighting made them very tired.

But the good news is that the news of the return of Sean O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, has spread in the Earl's territory, and people already know that Earl of Tyrone has been supported by an army from a distant country. The actions of the Hanwen Academy, as well as the recent frequent dispatches of the Restoration Army and the Pioneer Cavalry's terrifying record of repeated victories, they were called fallen demons by the surrounding lords.

For this evaluation, Ying Ming was proud of having the same title as the respected Marshal, and at the same time, he despised the lack of words of those monks who were driven away by them.

Everything is corrupt and demonic.

At the same time, since this is a conversion from top to bottom, it is not as violent as the direct demolition of churches by the Ming army. In most cases, many monks voluntarily learn Chinese and hope to continue to serve as professors of the Kingdom of Alan in the near future. A monk of Sinology.

I haven’t seen it for a month, but the estuary has changed a lot. There are more than 300 households from the tribes living in the surrounding forests. The Irish were not so fertile in this era, and a family usually only had 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 natives drilled through the forest to withstand the cold.

"They were very friendly. Seeing us here, they decided not to go any further. 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's eyes widened as if he was talking about something novel, and he said to Ming: "They seem a little scared, it seems that the old Wang with the pistol has misunderstood them, and before we are at a loss, the old Wang has already agreed. Alright, let all the Spaniards stand under the boat, and board the boat alone to check all the goods, which is so skillful that people are enviable."

Standing aside, Wang Quan was a little embarrassed by the praise, his only right hand seemed to have nowhere to rest, he rubbed the back of his neck and squinted his eyes and smiled: "Isn't this normal? I did it like this when I was training caravan guards in Daxigang , that boat ran that course and knew the rules."

This is also very novel to Ying Ming, because he has been stationed in Changsheng, he did not deal with the Spanish ship at the seaside, and asked: "Then what happened on the ship?"

"Some weapons, thirty matchlock guns, Toledo's sword, more than 200 iron spearheads, and forty pairs of standard breastplates, probably armed with a company of Spaniards. Their captain said that they were under the rule of Lord Xiao En. A noble named Arthur ordered it, and the money has been given."

Wang Quan's words made Ying Ming hold his chin and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said slowly, "I seem to have killed three Arthurs recently. There are many people who call this."

Zhu Xiaoen did not start to conquer the outside world, he had been away from Tailong for too long, and those vassals were not very obedient, so the National 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 the internal affairs are not stabilized, the [-] elite troops will not be able to be supplied. If these elite troops are not raised in vain, relying solely on the recruited armed farmers will not be able to form a military advantage among the other earls. War just adds casualties.

Going back to the dialogue between Wang Quan and Ying Ming, these are probably the two dialogues with the most oriental logic on the island of Ireland, because Ying Ming no longer needs to ask the following words.

He saw the Ming supervisor on the construction site in the distance walking around wearing a western-made high helmet, wearing a low-quality standard breastplate without a single pattern, and carrying Spanish muskets on his shoulders; and those he left here to protect the immigrants The surrendering farmer was being stabbed repeatedly by Tiger Tao with a spear that was eight feet long.

"I just tried to persuade them to keep the cargo, but the captain agreed very readily, as if he was in a hurry to leave."

Wang Quan nodded slowly, his words were very sincere, he turned his head and pointed to the newly built house in the distance and said, "There are three Spanish horses, they are too good to eat, we don't have enough food, general, what do you want?"
