Chapter 1351 Outsiders
Perhaps even Edmund himself could not have imagined that the Irish who lived near Dublin and were as tame as lambs in the past would resist the grain requisition sent out from the city.

The food requisition team sent out from Dublin were all strong, and the officers also carefully selected those with loud voices.

Even though Ireland's folk customs are strong, England has accumulated power for a long time. Even the feudal nobles bowed their heads to the queen's envoys one by one. How could those tribal people dare to resist the grain requisition?

I really don't need it, because at the end of last year, a few outsiders came to the Dublin countryside.

Ireland has never lacked feudal aristocrats who dared to resist England. They had soldiers and armor, and when they were forced by the Governor's Palace, they raised their flags to rebel, but if they were not strong enough, they would be destroyed as soon as they were asked.

Although it can cause the effect of pressing the gourd and making England unable to fully control the land, after all, people are not in the same place, and it is difficult to make a big cause.

The biggest limitation of the rebellion cause in this land is their status as nobles. Only nobles can raise troops, but the English have been operating in Ireland for hundreds of years, and there are very few nobles who are not related to each other.

The name of this outsider is Liu Ruguo, a native of Anqing Prefecture in Nanzhili Province. He was a stonemason in his early years. He was burly and strong. He could lift hundreds of catties with his arms. He also learned martial arts and was a martial arts instructor. .

That year Huizhou merchants went to sea, and the same group of disciples and friends were hired to escort the merchants to East Asia.

Chuang Dongyang made him very happy, not because the Dongyang military government thought he was capable and thought he could divide the land with the wooden board of Tianzihao household registration, but because he found that Dongyang Asia is so good, as long as the common people are willing to work here The whole family has no worries about food and clothing.

In fact, the situation in Daming these years was not good. The continuous plague continued until Chen Shigong returned, and there were frequent natural disasters in various places, either drought or flood.

For many people, the allocation of land by the Eastern Military Mansion means that they have finally waited for good luck after a lifetime of hard work, but for Liu Ruguo, a man born in this world should not only care about his own livelihood.

Later, he and his like-minded friends did not spend a day farming in Dongyang, and bought more than 30 Dafu sea-going ships with land rent, which were dedicated to commuting between Songjiang Prefecture and Changsheng Port. some family books.

Send people around the country to publicize the situation in East Asia to the hungry and disaster victims who can't survive, and take them to sea to ask for a living.

Every time before sailing, I told people that the price of the boat was ten taels of silver.

Those who could afford it were kicked off the ship and let him live in the country, those who couldn't afford were given water and food, and sent to Changsheng without any money.

In three years, Liu Ruguo and his group sailed more than a hundred times across the ocean, and sent over ten thousand hungry and disaster victims to Asia. Zou Yuanbiao also specially built a memorial archway for loyalty and benevolence in Changsheng port for him.

But this highly skilled and daring person is usually not one who is content with the status quo. Seeing the results of the National Restoration Army's entry into Ailan, he also wants to go and see.

Others go out to sea for wealth, but for Liu Ruguo, he doesn't want to make money, and he can't keep it. If he has money, he will quickly let it go, but he can live without money. The opportunity helped many people, so he wanted to look around.

So he brought his three closest apprentices, one named Tao Jiuer, one named Jia Jiuer, and the other named Zhao Can, to Ireland.

Take a look here, oh!
Allan played Ireland, England played Ireland, Allan played Ireland against England, and England played Ireland against Allan... This is really messy.

He has no chance for his restless blood. In the territory of the Kingdom of Alan, he learned how the locals speak, and was hired as a gun instructor. Later, he went south with the army. When the plague broke out, he separated from the army.

He is not as versatile as the old Taoist priest in Puli, and he can also prevent and control the plague. Only the plague can prevent him. He lives near Dublin and can only hide his armor and weapons in a widow's house in a swamp village. He lives for four months.

The name of the hostess of this family has the pronunciation of honey, so they are called Mi Niang. On weekdays, the four of them help the family dig some peat and chop some firewood to repay the kindness, and make a few soft bows and go hunting in the wild to subsidize the family. .

Not to mention, the master who has thousands of acres of his own land in Asia and has never plowed it once picked up a stone hoe here to repay others.

In four months, the tax collector of the local lord brought the Lord England to collect taxes five times. Each time, Liu Ruguo and his two apprentices fled to the swamp without being discovered once.

However, Liu Ruguo always felt that whether it was plowing the land or digging peat, how could it be regarded as repaying the kindness of saving his life?

Since the second time the tax officer came, Liu Ruguo had a bigger plan in mind to repay his gratitude. For this reason, he specially asked the honey girl to exchange some prey for some iron, and used thick iron to strike four sticks. Pu Dao is a good match.

Usually the simple knife is the most commonly used weapon for peasant uprisings after the Song Dynasty, because most of the imperial court laws prohibited civilian long soldiers, and the simple knife is a heavy weapon that can be long or short. A short soldier hung on the waist or carried behind the back.

Seeing that the plague was over, the four masters and apprentices bid farewell to Mi Niang, took dry food, put on armor, wrapped simple knives and carried whistle sticks, but instead of going all the way to the north, they went south to the gate of the landlord's merchant's courtyard, begging for horses, and then went all the way. Chase to the hunting ground of the local nobles, and use martial arts to kill the nobles and their more than ten guards.

Then the conscripts assembled in the territory met them by chance. Although the plain armor of the master and apprentice was rusty, the weight was not bad, and the quality was not bad. Ordinary bows and arrows were not allowed to be attached to them. The four of them galloped over a hundred conscripts. Scatter and kill a bloody path.

In Liu Ruguo's heart, even though he was still covered in bruises due to relying on the armor, even if the problem is solved now, no one will ask Mi Niang to collect taxes in the next few months.

As for a few months later?After a few months, the National Restoration Army will come back.

However, the National Restoration Army didn't make them wait until a few months later. They hadn't escaped ten miles all the way north, and they were rushing to bump into the white tiger leading the troops to transport peat. The two sides were overjoyed when they saw it.

They are old acquaintances. When they were in Asia, Liu Ruguo asked the white tiger how to catch Asian golden cats. After some conversation, he learned that Zhu Xiaoen had assembled an army and planned to march to Dublin within half a month. Old Liu's restless heart immediately became restless. up.

Apart from anything else, he will ask the white tiger to borrow troops.

"First lend me 50 troops to repay the favor and eradicate all the nobles in this place. It is really impossible to lend me some weapons and armor. I will go to the village to raise a group of troops to rise up and set up a banner for the Lord of Ailan to win a victory, so as to please him. "

"The aristocrats in this place extort money and extort money. The rich merchants and the landlords are in collusion with the noble yamen servants. The people have suffered for a long time. The nobles should be wiped out. My rebel army? How about you and I, together, destroy his mother!"

In the 16th year of Wanli, Meitang was captured and killed by the Ming army.
