The next recruitment work went very smoothly, and in the United Kingdom, where the labor force is relatively abundant, and it is such a favorable treatment occasion, it is really a relatively simple matter to find enough basic labor.

We have recruited 2,310 people, including more than 600 families. Workers with a wide range of professional divisions have joined my team and will soon be on their way to the new continent with me.

Of course, each of them knows that it is dangerous to go to the new continent, but is it safe to stay? It's just that one is the coexistence of danger and opportunity, and the other is the soft knife to cut the meat and boil the frog in warm water.

Claude, a newly recruited Oxford law student, played a very important role in this process. He was familiar with how to sign such a personal contract, so it really saved me a lot of time and energy.

It is a pity that apart from Claude himself, there are no particularly outstanding people in my eyes, the vast majority of whom are ordinary laborers, and of course the same are combatants.

However, two retired officers of the British Navy made the list, and I decided to observe them for a while - Jack Bravo's information tells me that these two men lost their duties because of negligence, and in my opinion, they were more of scapegoats.

Moreover, both of them are very young, becoming the second mate and navigator of the ship at the age of twenty-four or five, respectively, which are very promising seedlings and should not be missed.

So, when I interviewed and offered the position of Second Mate on the New York, a young man named Frank Lampard, and second officer on the North Carolina by Joe Cole, they immediately accepted my offer with great pleasure.

Next, I swaggered to buy ships in port cities such as London and Portsmouth, and threatened everywhere that I would gradually regain control of the fiefdom over the next four months, starting from Pernambuco, from south to north!

And in the process, Queen Elizabeth I also made a special statement in public, expressing "support for the sacred act of the nobles to reclaim their own territory!" ”

Our "two gentlemen" sang and harmonized, coupled with the strange and frequent movements within the British Navy, and in just one month the whole of Western Europe knew that Britain was going to fight Spain in Central and South America!

In this way, the eyes of the whole of Europe were mobilized by us. Those who are preparing for war, those who are increasing troops, those who are mobilizing, and those who are waiting and seeing, all are trying their best to prepare.

Not to mention muskets, cannons or food in the peripheral markets, even war supplies such as cotton and linen were dumped, and this was when the price increased by three times.

In this way, the Netherlands and Great Britain, as trading powers, naturally made a large surplus in one fell swoop, and huge silver dollars poured into London and Amsterdam, which were immediately converted into instant combat power under the full force of the shipyards!

And the origin of the silver dollar is naturally the Spaniards who look down on these heavy work, so they can only pay for it happily!

*, in just one month, the financial funds involved in the dispatch of more than 30% of the UK's annual fiscal revenue! Even if nothing else is taken into account, this alone was enough for Elizabeth I to laugh out loud in the middle of the night!

As for what the Spaniards think, who cares? Probably they are also full of confidence for the further replenishment of inventory!

Of course, I didn't react until everything was ready, and I was so busy that I forgot about the Spring Festival. When I think about it, it's already the fourteenth day of the first month, and I can't say that I have to celebrate the fifteenth day.

Of course, such a more private festival will not be carried out with great fanfare, so the fleet heading west to the new big * land is still set off in a mighty way!

The opening ceremony was a great one, and the queen was there to bless me. Everyone knows that I'm going to leave London and turn west to Pernambuco after heading south to Lisbon.

We went out of the Thames with the crowd and turned south, and the people were amazed at how a marquis's private fleet could be so powerful! The total number of ships has exceeded forty, and many of them are the current new main ships!

However, contrary to the news that spread far and wide, the huge fleet was split into three after Belfast was resupplied - Adicon led a part of the fleet, mainly transports, directly westward, and the destination was not Mexico, but New Amsterdam!

British Vice Admiral Sinclair continued to head south with most of the capital ships, and their target was not Mexico, but after a large number of Spanish naval backbone combat forces were withdrawn, they defended empty Africa!

As for me, I stayed in Belfast – because I was fifteen!

Of course, this is just a joke, and I still have a lot of important things to do while I stay.

And that's the chemistry between me and Elizabeth I for so long – the Spaniards have greatly strengthened their presence in Africa after their victory against the Ottomans, much to the British's headache.

After all, the southern route was the main route for all European countries, including the British, in other words, Elizabeth I would rather lose ten Virginies than someone block the way to Africa!

However, with the current strength of Britain and Spain, it is very unwise to be tough in Africa, so Elizabeth needs an opportunity - an opportunity to transfer the main force of the Spaniards out of Africa!

And at this time, I suddenly came out of nowhere, with a rather dazzling performance! And the important reason for my dazzling performance happens to be that I moved the new favorite of the Spaniards - the cake of the new big * Lu!

Therefore, a plan to save the enemy suddenly appeared in Elizabeth I's mind, and in her mind, I was able to cooperate with her in the implementation of this plan, which is the fundamental cause of all this now!

As for Adicon's movements, they are the product of my calculations, how could I have allowed Elizabeth I to knock me out so obviously?

After receiving that unreasonable reward, even if I walked away, it was forgivable, so it was even less worth mentioning to do something of my own in the name of the queen!

So I'm aiming for the distant New Continent! I also want to take advantage of the opportunity I have created to consolidate my dominance in the New York area!

In fact, this is tantamount to claiming my own fief in disguise, but I made my own decisions, turning the fief from a narrow enemy-occupied area of Mexico into a vast North American continent!

This is definitely within the scope of Elizabeth I's permission - it is a terra nullius land, and it is beneficial for me and her to take the initiative to develop it, so why not?

The only thing that surprised the English Supreme was that I actually figured out her plan immediately after receiving the reward, and implemented it perfectly, which made Elizabeth I vigilant!

If such a man cannot be used by me, he will never be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Elizabeth I was so determined.

But these are all things in the future, and the top priority is to work together and perform this play well!

As far as I know, the Spaniards responded positively after receiving the information, and in addition to the previously mentioned armament expansion, two more detachments of the Armada were temporarily adjusted to the new large * land defense!

This shows that my previous series of tactics to lure and confuse the enemy have been completely successful! The Spaniards really moved! It moved as I expected!

However, in my opinion, I don't have to worry about the reclamation work in the new continent, there are Mavi over there, plus Adicon, it is not complicated to deal with these things!

So I stayed, the purpose is to take advantage of this stall that neither Britain nor Spain can vacate to solve some major matters involving their own interests!

But sharpening the knife and cutting wood, today is the fifteenth, after such a round of tossing, it is extremely rare to be able to live in peace, not to mention that there are people who have come from London without regrets, it is definitely worth a celebration!

The Lantern Festival is a reunion festival, but now it is ...... Alas, forget it, fate is really not clear.

Looking at the relatives and friends sitting at the two large tables, for some reason, I suddenly felt sad, but then I became secretly relieved.

It's been six years since I came to this world, haven't I also lived a good and steady life to this day?

What is surprising is that in addition to her good medical skills, this girl is also quite good at cooking! Ten cold and ten hot were served on the table, which immediately made my index finger move! Add to that the good wines, and let him go if he doesn't like it!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, these guys have to let me say a few words, especially if I don't regret it, I am very happy to drink today, and I am also the most happy.

In desperation, I could only say a few words, but I was yelled at by these people and did not agree, saying that I was too perfunctory and would not be allowed to go until I had another show.

I smiled bitterly, what's the show? When I am the little prince of the night club? But everyone was really pressing, so I could only raise my glass and stand up, paced two steps, and opened my mouth to chant a song by Ouyang Xiu's "Shengchazi Yuanxi".

On New Year's Eve last year, the flower market was lit up like day.

The moon arrives at the head of the willow tops, and people are about after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still the same.

I didn't see last year's people, and my tears wet the sleeves of my spring shirt.

After a song, the house was quiet, and my heart was very low. Suddenly, someone shouted hello! Suddenly, the room was applauded again, and in an instant, this unhappiness was rushed out of the clouds!

What I didn't notice was that Zhang Youxi, who was sitting on my left, heard this poem, but his eyes flashed silently a few times......

Since then, no one has been shouting about anything that is not showing, that is, drinking! Drink hard!

According to this drinking method, you will get a small half cabin of wine this night! But I have wine, so let these people drink it!

So they drank until late at night, and the guys still had no intention of stopping. I really didn't want to drink anymore, so I walked out of the cabin alone and went up to the bow deck.

Alas, I wonder where this stupid kite is now? With such a beautiful day, does she miss me too?

Suddenly, I remembered Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case Yuan Xi", especially the famous sentence in the second half of the que-moth snow willow golden wisps, and the laughter was full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, in the place of the fire.

How I wish I had turned around and seen the kite, as before, standing not far behind me, smiling at me!

Subconsciously, when I turned around, I knew that the kite could not appear, but ...... But in the corner of the wall where the kite usually stood, there was a man standing impressively! A woman!

I couldn't see who it was in the dark, and I couldn't help but want to call the name of the kite, but I couldn't help it, and when I exited, it had become another word: "Who!"

The woman smiled when she heard this, the voice was absolutely familiar to me, but I couldn't remember who it was until she opened her mouth and said, "Qilan, I'm afraid you've drunk too much, so I'm going to come and see you!"

It turned out to be Zhang Youxi, the youngest daughter of the second uncle. It stands to reason that I should call her sister-in-law, but she is indeed younger than me at this age, so I usually only call her Youxi, and she also calls me Qiqi for convenience.

When I saw that it was her, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in my heart, knowing that it couldn't be a kite, but I still felt deep regret. But if I don't hit the smiling person, I can only smile and answer: "I'm okay!" It's fine. ”

Zhang Youxi replied in the dark: "That's good! I've made you a cup of tea, and I've got rid of the bar! ”

As she spoke, she approached and handed me a teacup, but she sat down beside me and beside me.

Tea is in the stomach and the heat is rising. Raise your head to look at the moon, but no longer shadow three. Glancing at Zhang Youxi, who was looking at the direction of the pier from afar, my heart suddenly felt a touch of emotion......
