Strictly speaking, Ireland was a colony of England.

As early as 1155, Hadrian IV, the only pope of England in history, issued a decree granting the rule of Ireland to the king of England, and it was not until 1169 that England began to invade Dublin Castle for the first time, and in 1171, King Henry II of England gained suzerainty over Ireland.

But the areas under the direct control of England were limited to Dublin and the taboo, and even the stripping was stripped, and the people spoke only Gaelic and not English.

The British rulers believed that Ireland's instability and long campaign of reaction could easily make it an important base from which to exploit domestic and foreign reactions, and thus seriously jeopardize the security of Great Britain, and especially Ireland's close relations with Spain.

It's like North Korea's equivalent of China's relationship, Spain, which has Ireland, has a springboard that can land directly in England at any time.

Faced with this situation, the Tudor monarchs did not give up their colonial rule over Ireland.

The biggest problem with Ireland is religion.

As early as the 5th century AD, the Irish embraced Catholicism.

Due to the repeated invasions of Ireland, there was constant fighting between the various tribes on the island. The English derided the Irish as "Meere Irish", which means "dirty, rough, and savage".

For the general Irish people, religion is undoubtedly a healing medicine for the soul, and people long for God's salvation from the suffering of this world after death.

Catholicism plays an irreplaceable spiritual role in the daily life of the Irish, so they humbly listen to the teachings of the Pope and reverently follow the teachings and liturgies of Catholicism.

In the eyes of the Irish, England is only a lord appointed by the Pope, and the Pope is the real supreme leader of Ireland.

After the Reformation broke the relationship with the Pope, the Irish saw revolt against Britain as a religious cause, as the Irish rebels declared:

"The insurrection is sacred, legitimate, a holy war in defense of Catholicism, a crusade against a tyrant who refuses to listen to the pope who speaks on behalf of Jesus".

And the real progress of England against Ireland was still in the time of Henry VIII.

As king, Henry VIII was smart.

On the basis of his succession to Henry VII, in 1534, he adopted a policy of "pay first and give later" in Ireland, first recovering the land to the English king, and then re-giving the land to the Irish nobles and tribal leaders, which directly weakened the prestige and resistance of the Irish nobility.

In this way, all the lands in Ireland, as in England, belonged to the Tudor royal family, and the nobles and all landowners on it were the first allegiance to the crown.

In 1541, under the control of Henry VIII, the Irish Parliament declared that Henry VIII was also King of Ireland and provided for the permanent union and union of Ireland and England.

After Edward succeeded to the throne, Henry VIII's rule over Ireland was maintained without much change.

Dublin, the port city, is the largest port terminal in Ireland and the center of English rule in Ireland, where the Governor of Ireland is also located.

The Governor of Ireland was set up in 1171 and it can be said that he was the supreme ruler and held the greatest power in the area of England.

Therefore, the Governor of Ireland has the nickname of Vice-King.

And today, our Excellency the Governor, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with two striking sword eyebrows on his face, stood on the docks, followed by some Dublin officials and nobles.

The people around the dock didn't look much surprised, and even watched and discussed with relish, looking like a crowd eating melons.

"Hey! You say, how many people can come this time? A strong man in a single shirt asked about his companion, his face full of curiosity.

"I feel that there are not many people this time, but last month there were more than 1,000 people and five ships, and there should not be many this time!"

The companion on the side analyzed it for a while, and then looked at the rolling sea in the distance and sighed.

Ireland has always been a place of poor and remote land, like the exile of ancient China, a place that nobles and ministers could not avoid.

So, whenever there were immigrants from England, most of the time, His Excellency the Governor would personally come and greet them, and arrange the specific arrangements for those immigrants one by one.

For Dublin, for every English immigrant, the Governor's House became stronger.

And as the Governor of Ireland, Thomas. Marne is certainly no exception.

Especially since his appointment as Governor of Ireland by His Majesty the King, he has never missed a single immigrant arrival.

With a faint salty sea breeze on his face, Thomas. Marne stood motionless, looking at the undulating sea in the distance.

At this time, the scene from two years ago came to his mind.

At that time, after being appointed by His Majesty the King as the Lord of Oxfordshire, he vigorously promoted the new land law and helped Oxfordshire establish local governments, which enabled Oxfordshire to complete the London Directive and become famous in England.

The moment he saw His Majesty the King, as he hurried to London with excitement, he was reappointed in addition to a few words of praise.

"Thomas. Marne, I am satisfied with your performance! The young king nodded at him with an appreciative look in his eyes.

Thomas is in a great mood at the moment, and his performance for several years has been recognized, not to mention this sense of accomplishment.

"In view of your excellent performance, I will give you a greater responsibility, I hope you can continue to work hard!"

"Of course. Your Majesty, it is an honor to serve you! ”

Thomas shuddered, and blurted out excited words.

As a result, he came to Ireland and became the Governor of Ireland.

"Your Excellency, why don't you go back and rest for a while, the sea breeze is very strong now, pay attention to your body!"

Just when he lost his mind, a young and handsome young man beside him asked softly, and his tone was very concerned.

"No, Sir Perrotte, I'm in good health!"

Thomas. Marne shook his head slightly, declined his offer, and then straightened his back and stared at the sea ahead.

John. Seeing that His Excellency the Governor was so stubborn, Perrotte could only shake his head helplessly and continued to observe with him.

As the person in charge of the front colonial area, he is here to receive such immigrants, after all, there are so many immigrants, if you eat more, others will have less, and you can't do it if you don't hurry up.
