Such a lively scene lasted for four days, and the immigrants in the entire stronghold had a happy time for a few days, and then returned to reality.

In this way, after ten or so days of busy work, Leonard thought that life continued like this, and it felt pretty good.

Who knows, just after you stayed behind to send food to Dublin for sale and pay taxes.

At this moment, Your Excellency Left Behind suddenly summoned all the male members, which made Leonard puzzled.

With doubts, Leonard bid farewell to his wife and children, and came to the square again.

The square at this time gathered all the male members, including those aged fourteen and above and those over the age of fifty. It was estimated that there were about seven or eight hundred people.

Sir John was sitting on the horse. The horse was walking back and forth, snorting from time to time, obviously a little excited.

Today's Sir John put on a cold face as usual, sitting on the saddle, his whole body looked straight.

But what is puzzling is that he is wearing a military uniform. He looks heroic in his military uniform, which frightens the group of immigrants trembling and dare not make a sound.

Leonard is naturally no longer in this ranks. As a mayor of the city, he has seen many soldiers like this, so naturally he will not be afraid.

However, being in Ireland at this time, the place is different, and the feelings it brings are naturally different, which has to make him feel a little afraid.

"Everyone, this year is different from previous years, everyone must be prepared!"

Regardless of the doubts or fearful gazes of these people, Sir John spoke in a deep voice, and his voice penetrated the entire square.

"In the past few years, Wenger Town was attacked by those barbarians from time to time. This is a provocation to His Majesty the King and a threat to us. It cannot be tolerated!"

"This year, we are about to launch a large-scale operation, and strive for the year after next, when I will return to London for induction, I can proudly announce to His Majesty the King:

It is a great honor to fulfill your entrustment, I have successfully completed this sacred and glorious mission! "

"So, everyone will have a one-month training, and after that, everyone will work together to drive away the barbarians in County Louth, and make this place truly the land of England, the territory of the royal family!"

Ulster is located in the northernmost part of the island of Ireland. According to the division, it has nine counties, namely Antrim, Armagh, Louth, Donegal, Downhill, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Monaghan and Tyrone.

Among them, except for Donegal, Monaghan and Louth, the remaining six counties later formed Northern Ireland and joined the United Kingdom.

As the northernmost tip of Ulster Province, Sir John is located in Donegal County, north of Donegal, the capital of Donegal County.

Compared with other strongholds, his stronghold is more difficult to imagine. Not only is it far away from Dublin, but also the weakest development level, with many mountains and few plains, and many savage tribes.

In this regard, in the past few years, Sir John has been taking a defensive position. As a peace lover, he has only opened up 20,000 to 30,000 acres of land.

And a while ago, the Jazz who went to Dublin received a lot of support because of little progress.

Five hundred spears and arrows, fifty longbows, one hundred sets of armor, one hundred matchlock guns, two hundred pounds of gunpowder, and one thousand pounds of iron ingots.

These are equivalent to all the support he has received in the past six months, which made the aggrieved Jazz straighten up in an instant, and his whole body is full of strength like never before.

What made him even more joyful was that the royal fleet was also in a hurry to complete the task assigned by the king within five years.

After confirming with His Excellency the Governor, John Perrot already knew that just next month, the royal family caravan will add a port of call - Donegal Port.

In other words, in addition to Dublin, Dundac in County Louth, Donegal has become the third port of call.

This not only means that he can obtain material exchange quickly, but also get support when necessary.

Therefore, he made up his mind that after practicing for a month, he would lead the militia to gradually nibble away at those rebellious Kate tribes, and strive to seize the land in the northern part of Donegal within two years to complete the goal.

Thinking of this, Your Excellency looked at the immigrants below with a cold look.

In the following week, Leonard swore that this was the most painful week of his life. In order to get familiar with the changes in the phalanx, he not only had to turn left and right frequently, but also learned to avoid traps, cooperate with his colleagues, and learn to use spears. Learn some of the common language of the Kate...

After learning all of these within a month, Leonard was not only physically exhausted, but his head was about to explode.

Finally, after a month of devil time passed, Leonard bid farewell to his wife and children, picked up his spear, and walked with the army.

Sir John was not idle either. After deploying some veteran militiamen to defend Wenger Town, he prepared food, grass and equipment, and sent someone to notify the nearby pro-British tribes to join forces and attack together.

Of course, the most important thing is that he chose the tribe that was the first to perform surgery - the Kelly tribe.

To be precise, it should be preceded by a prefix, which is a common method used by Irish people.

The earliest recorded Irish surname is said to be Cléirigh, which, if added, would mean "grandson of Cléirigh".

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the prefix Mac, which the Irish like to use, 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 this prefix, which is an important symbol of Irish ancestry.

The reason why the Kelly tribe was chosen is because it is one of the three major tribes in the North Donegal region, and it is also the most domineering tribe.

Not only do they plunder and sneak attacks on the English, but they also often plunder and bully other small tribes, which arouses hatred.

As for the pro-British tribes around Wenger Town, after offending the Kelly tribe, they wanted to seek refuge in Wenger Town to avoid bullying.

Thus, in the minds of those little tribes, the Kerry tribe was more objectionable than the English.

In this way, the first operation was the Kelly tribe.

More importantly, the Kelly tribe has a population of thousands, and the mountains cannot support that many people. Only the plains are suitable, so the goal is big.

More importantly, although the Kelly tribe did not farm land, they grazed tens of thousands of sheep and thousands of cattle. These were the spoils that Sir John coveted.

With these, and exchanging some weapons with those merchants, he will be confident enough to defeat the other two big tribes, and then the pacification of North Donegal will be just around the corner.
