This lively scene lasted for four days, and the immigrants in the entire stronghold had a happy few days before returning to reality.
In this way, after more than ten days of busyness, Leonard thought that life continued like this, and it felt pretty good.
Who knows, just after the return of the Left-behind Excellency who sent the grain to Dublin to be sold and paid taxes.
At this moment, the Left-behind Lord suddenly summoned all the male members, which left Leonard scratching his head.
With doubts, Leonard said goodbye to his wife and children and came to the square again.
At this time, all the male members of the square, those in the first fourteen years old and those over fifty years old, were among them, and it was estimated that there were about seven or eight hundred people.
Sir John sat on his horse, and the horse walked back and forth, snorting from time to time, evidently with some agitation.
Today, Sir John had a cold face, as always, sitting upright in the saddle, and his whole body looked straight.
But what is puzzling is that he is wearing a military uniform, and he looks heroic, which shocks the group of immigrants and does not dare to make a sound.
Leonard is naturally no longer in this ranks, as the head of a city hall, he has seen a lot of such soldiers, so he will naturally not be afraid.
However, at this time, in Ireland, the place is different, and the feelings brought are naturally different, which has to make him feel a little afraid.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this year is different from previous years, everyone should be ready!"
Sir John ignored the doubtful or fearful gazes of these people, and said in a deep voice, which penetrated the whole square.
"In the past few years, the town of Wenger has been attacked by those barbarians from time to time, this is a provocation to His Majesty, a threat to us, and it cannot be tolerated!"
"This year, we are about to embark on a large-scale operation, and when I am about to return to London the year after that, I can proudly declare to His Majesty the King:
It is an honor to fulfill your entrustment, and I have successfully completed this sacred and glorious mission! ”
"So, we will go through a month of training, and after that, everyone will work together to drive out the barbarians of Rolls-Shire, so that this place will truly become the territory of England, the territory of the royal family!"
The province of Ulster is located in the northernmost part of the island of Ireland and is divided into nine counties: Antrim, Amma, Law, Donegal, Tangshan, Fermana, Londonderry, Monaghan and Tyrone.
Of these, with the exception of Donigal and Monaghan and Law, the remaining six counties later formed Northern Ireland and joined the United Kingdom.
As the northernmost part of the Ulster province, Sir John is located in the county of Donigal, north of the capital of the county of Donigel.
Compared with other strongholds, the difficulty of his stronghold is great, not only is it far from Dublin, but it is also the weakest developed, with many mountains and few plains, and many wild tribes.
In this regard, in the past few years, Sir John has been on the defensive, as a lover of peace, and the land he has opened up is only twenty or thirty thousand acres.
And a while ago, the Jazz, who went to Dublin, received a lot of support because of the lack of progress.
500 spears and arrows, 50 longbows, 100 sets of armor, 100 arquebuses, 200 pounds of gunpowder, and 1,000 pounds of iron ingots.
This is equivalent to all the support he has received in half a year, which made the somewhat aggrieved Sir straighten up in an instant, and the whole person was full of strength like never before.
What made him even more happy was that in order to complete the task assigned by the king within five years, the royal fleet was also in a hurry.
After confirmation with His Excellency the Governor, John. Perrot already knew that just next month, the royal caravan would add a port of call - Port Donigel.
In other words, in addition to Dublin, Dundake in Rollsshire, Donigal became the third port of call.
This not only means that he can get a quick exchange of supplies, but also that he will be supported when necessary.
Therefore, he made up his mind, and after a month of training, he led the militia to gradually encroach on the unruly Kate tribes, and strive to seize the land of the northern Donigal within two years and complete the goal.
With this in mind, Lord Sir looked at the immigrants below with a chill in his gaze.
The following week, Leonard swore that it would be the most painful week of his life, and in order to familiarize himself with the changes in the phalanx, he would not only have to turn left and right frequently, but also learn to dodge traps, cooperate with his colleagues, learn to use spears, and learn some of the common languages of the Kates......
These were all learned in a month's time, and Leonard was not only physically exhausted, but his head was about to explode.
Finally, as soon as the month of devilish time passed, Leonard said goodbye to his wife and children, picked up his spear, and walked with the army.
Sir John was not idle, and after deploying some veteran militia to defend Wenger, he prepared food, grass and equipment, and sent someone to inform the nearby pro-British tribes, and began to unite and attack together.
Of course, the main thing is that he chose the tribe that was the first to open the knife - the Kelly tribe.
Exactly should you bring one in front? The prefix, which is a common technique used by the Irish.
What is the earliest recorded Irish surname? Cléirigh, if added? , which means "Cléirigh's grandson".
Except, except, of course? In addition, there is the prefix Mac, which is used by the Irish, but the Scots prefer to use this.
If you go to the streets of Ireland, you will find that most of the business names have been added? This prefix, which is an important sign indicating Irish ancestry.
The reason why this Kelly tribe was chosen is because it is one of the three major tribes in the Northern Donigal region, and it is also the most domineering tribe.
Not only did they raid the English, but they also often plundered and bullied other small tribes, which was very hateful.
And several pro-British tribes around Wenger Town wanted to take refuge in Wenger Town and avoid bullying because they offended the Kelly tribe.
It can be seen that in the hearts of those small tribes, the Kelly tribe is more annoying than the English.
In this way, the first to open the knife was the Kelly tribe.
What's more, the Kelly tribe has a population of thousands, and the mountains can't support so many people, and only the plains are suitable, so the goal is big.
What's more, although the Kelly tribe did not farm, they grazed tens of thousands of sheep and thousands of cattle, which were the spoils of Sir John's coveted war.
With this, and exchanging some weapons with those merchants, he was sure enough to defeat the other two large tribes, and then pacifying the Northern Donigal was just around the corner.
