Hearing such a "reward", everyone, including Adicon and Nine Ghosts Masataka, was shocked and angry!

But they didn't say anything, they just turned their eyes to me. Because they know that the final decision is all up to me.

What is the reward?

The person who came to read it read the document for a total of ten minutes, but the core of it was nothing more than one sentence: canonized by the holy Queen of the British, Sun Qilan, Count of Percival, was made a Marquis of Mexico! Fiefdom – Mexico City!

The whole hall was as silent as death, and everyone knew that Mexico City was a strong fortress for the Spaniards, so what was the purpose of Elizabeth I in canonizing me as a Marquis of Mexico?

A book suddenly appeared in my mind, a book that I was very familiar with - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In this book, Elizabeth's scheme is perfectly documented.

In order to unify the Central Plains, Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, forcing Liu, Lü, and Yuan to attack each other, and finally reaped the benefits and broke it with one drum!

And why doesn't Elizabeth I today have this idea? Push me to the forefront, let me fight the Spaniards as a fortress on the front line, while she sits in the back and reaps the benefits.

If I lose, he has nothing to lose, but he must have gained enough from it. But if I win...... No! That's impossible! I don't have the slightest hope of winning.

Then this raises a question - will Elizabeth I, as a rare master, do such a thing that is obviously killing chickens and eggs, and the gains outweigh the losses?

No! Obviously she won't. If this woman is so short-sighted, then her throne will not be able to sit today, let alone raise the banner of Protestantism and become its bearer for so many years!

What the hell is she trying to do? My heart was racing, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck!

I seem to understand what Elizabeth means......

What a shrewd woman! She's going to drain me of all my worth, and I'm going to have to prove it!

Tsk, it's really a no-brainer under the fame! This move is really clever!

So, in the midst of everyone's dumbfounding, I warmly expressed my gratitude to the messenger who came to convey the emperor's order, and said that I would definitely rush to the Palace of Westminster on time to receive the official queen canonization!

However, the envoy conveyed the queen's will in a big sweat - the canonization ceremony has been waived, the documents have been distributed to the whole country, and I can directly perform my new duties!

This is the first time he has encountered such a situation in the twenty years he has been a royal envoy, and the queen's behavior is very strange, and the young Mexican marquis opposite is even more strange!

Even the expression I looked at him smiling was interpreted as "something else", which made the messenger's tongue dry and his heartbeat disordered - this Mexican marquis is a person who dares to break his wrists with the Spaniards, has he offended him miserably?

The messenger went away with a lot of gold and silver, with great trepidation. When we were left with our own people in the house again, the Nine Ghosts Masataka finally spoke, "Sir...... I...... I think this is extremely inappropriate! Why don't we get out of here and stop wading into this troubled water! ”

I turned my head to look around at the crowd and saw that most of them meant the same thing, but Adicon seemed thoughtful.

I smiled and asked, "Adicon, what are you thinking?"

Adicon frowned and said for a long time: "I...... I think there's something wrong inside! But I know that you have already made up your mind, captain, so I won't say more, you can arrange it! ”

I shook my head with a wry smile, pointed my finger at Adicon, and said, "You slippery head!" I have an idea in my heart but don't say it! ”

Adicon smiled but said nothing.

So I turned my head to look at the confused crowd and asked with a smile, "Everyone, are you interested in watching a lively performance?"

……

The next day, the major newspapers in Britain rushed to report the news of my appointment, and suddenly a mixture of excitement and apprehension began to spread throughout the country!

This sentiment is neither good nor bad, but it is undoubtedly very pleasant for the Supreme in the Palace of Westminster.

And I continued to add fuel to the fire at the right time – one morning, the whole of London was captivated by a big buzz!

In the square at the entrance to the Palace of Westminster, a team of men and horses in costumes appeared. Behind these men was a military band, which was bustling and blowing.

And above their heads were two huge kites! There are two long banners tied underneath!

There are two sentences written on it in English, in fact, I originally wanted to write "Please go his way when you are promoted to become rich, and you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door". But Wayne Nash and the Nine Ghosts Masataka stopped me at the same time.

In Europe, people don't believe this! So I asked them to change the content of the banner to "If you have the courage and ability, try it, and if you don't have the ability or the guts, go away!" ”

The banner on the makeshift military tent under the banner reads: "The Marquis of Mexico Recruits the New Continent for High-end Talents Large-scale Recruitment Publicity Meeting", and dozens of sturdy soldiers in uniform walked around, politely but dignified to the people who came to inquire about the situation.

In a small tent in the back, Nine Ghost Zhengxiao and Mo glanced at each other, and said very worriedly: "Sir, is it appropriate for us to do this?"

Mo also added: "At least...... I mean, shouldn't the royal family be informed first? After all, such a big scene, and it is ...... at the gate of the royal family."

I said with a smile, "Huh? The queen has already let me take up the new post directly, I am carrying out her orders, how can she have an opinion? ”

Nine Ghost Zhengxiao suddenly had a black line, and after thinking about it, he said: "That's right, but sir, the dignity of the royal family is sometimes very fragile, and ...... should still be taken care of!"

I naturally know that the nine ghosts are worried that Elizabeth I will be angry with me for my actions, that I am disrespectful to the royal family, and that she will blame me.

It would have been nice to think so, but at this time, it was obvious that Elizabeth I had asked for me, so how could I not even have such a small stomach? She dreamed that I would toss a little bigger!

So I smiled and said, "Your considerations are reasonable, so Elizabeth will definitely come to thank me!"

What I said had no beginning or end, and the two who listened to it were even more inexplicable, and finally they opened their mouths and chose to nod silently.

In fact, there are not a few people in London who watch the excitement, and many people think that I am pampered and proud, or have opinions about this reward, and choose to confront it head-on, so they are all waiting to see the good show that is about to start!

However, on the morning of the second day of the three-day campaign, the Palace of Westminster, which had been silent for a day, finally made a move - a royal guard captain and thirty royal knights came to the main venue of the campaign, bringing with them a handwritten letter from the queen wishing the recruitment a successful success, as well as a sponsorship fee of 5,000 gold coins.

The five thousand gold coins are nothing more than a drop in the bucket to me and her, but this letter is very valuable! With the support of writing a letter, my "job fair" has changed from the previous "dirt road" to the regular army, and suddenly the crowd is more crowded, and more people come to pay attention!

Therefore, I simply extended the original three-day publicity meeting to seven days, and began the formal selection and recruitment work on the eighth day.

With the Queen's attention and plenty of time, the news spread like wildfire in all directions of the already small Europe! The closer French and Dutch will know, and the farther Swedes and Italians will know.

Naturally, the Spaniards will also know.

In the past few days, the form of propaganda has also changed from simple word of mouth to mixed propaganda in a variety of ways, for example, several painters have drawn very vivid and interesting propaganda posters according to my request.

The Spaniards on the posters were very ugly, but our side was very handsome and dashing, and they were shelling the Spaniards with their ships, and the other side's ships were already crumbling.

Of course, there are also our own protection of women and children, and the contrasting propaganda posters with bloody hands of the Spaniards are also very charming.

On the back of the picture is the slogan, which reads: "I'm here, will you come?" As long as you have the ability! ”

So in the past few days, this very simple slogan has become a mantra among young people in the UK! More and more young people are filling out my registration form and becoming part of the recruitment prospects!

As an aside, the design of this recruitment form has also temporarily spawned the rapid development of an industry -

Because the education rate of the European masses at this time was not very high, many people needed to hire people who could write and draw to help them fill out the form, and some people with flexible minds started the resume packaging business and made a lot of money......

It is said that during this time, the greetings of British gentlemen, especially young gentlemen, have changed to "Have you hired today"? For a time, it was also passed on for beautiful talks and good stories!

According to my instructions, the talents who came to sign up this time are not only limited to the admission of military talents, as long as they are talented, I will do it!

Of course, I also pay double the salary of the Royal Navy of the same class! Even in London, this is enough to support a family.

So on the seventh day, judging from the registration forms we received, we had achieved our goal - more than 7,000 people had signed up! This is no small miracle in Europe, which is not densely populated!

Of course, these people's nationality, ability, expertise, and even beliefs are all varied, and if you want to really eliminate the chaff, you may really need to spend some effort!

And all those who signed up were notified that tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the morning on the eighth day, as the initiator of this recruitment, the glorious Marquis of Mexico, Sun Qilan, a mysterious aristocrat from the East, will give a speech at the largest opera house in London.

As a general rule, this lecture is open only to applicants, but it is not forbidden for others to attend the lecture.

This time London is boiling again! Whether you sign up or not, you want to see this Mexican marquis in person and hear what he wants to do!

As a result, a rally similar to the annual "Super Bowl" show in the United States is about to be staged in London!

……

Palace of Westminster, evening.

"Isabel, you say, did he really do it?" Elizabeth I asked with a smile as she sat on a wicker chair.

"Of course! Aunt! I think it will work! Isabel replied in the affirmative.

"Looks like you're bullish on him?" Elizabeth I has something to say.

Without waiting for Isabel to answer, she asked, "How is he compared to Raleigh?"

Isabella smiled and said nothing.

Elizabeth I did not ask, for she had already received her answer, so she turned her head and looked at the still brightly lit square at the entrance of the palace......
