To be precise, Ulster Province has a total of eighteen strongholds.
ording to the nine counties in Ulster Province, each county has two strongholds. On average, each stronghold has a poption of thousands of people and more than two hundred soldiers fighting.
The current poption of Irnd is roughly calcted at the beginning of the seventeenth century, with a poption of less than 500,000, and now adding some small savage tribes in remote areas, count it as 500,000.
500,000, divided intorge and small tribes, it can be said that these strongholds areparable to those of medium-sized tribes, and it is still possible to maintain the situation.
ording to Edward''s setting, each stronghold builds arge fortress as the central point, and then surrounds it with tribes close to Ennd, and finally spreads slowly,pletely digesting the entire Ulster province.
If this model works, within ten years, the entire ind of Irnd will be Ennd''s back garden.
Therefore, Edward also carefully selected the remaining officers of these eighteen strongholds.
Except for John Perot, the rest of the stay-at-home officers are basically from the first batch and the second batch of public selection examinations, and they are rtively capable, open-minded officials, and His Majesty the King is more optimistic about the future. .
Of course, including Lemire, who has not shown up for a long time, and Su Weier from Norwich.
Lemir''s face is full of vicissitudes and maturity at this time.
As amoner, he started with the help of the head of the 100-household district, and worked as the head of the 100-household district in Cambridgeshire. After three years of hard work, he finally climbed to the position of the head of the 1000-household district in South Cambridge. It can be said that he has climbed to the upper ss. Society, although at the bottom, is an important step.
This is, as the head of the district, Lemir can finally have a surname. Like ordinary people, he takes his father Watson''s name as his surname, and his full name is Lemir Watson.
Coming to Irnd this time, like Sir John Perrott, it is also a good opportunity for him, a good opportunity to leap out from the civilian ss.
Thinking of his lovely son, Lemir''s heart became more and more heated. It is his biggest dream to leave a title for future generations.
Thinking, he nced at the young man next to him again, who was three or four years younger than him, with light-blond hair.
There is a hint of bookishness, with two ck beards on the corners of the mouth, eyes wandering around, and the bookish atmosphere is mixed with a trace of sleekness.
Two different temperaments appear on the same person, which seems extremely contradictory.
Seeing this person, Lemir felt a sense of friendship in his heart.
He knew that in the current officialdom in Ennd, although there are still many people whoe from the position of assistant secretary, the mainstream trend is the group of young people who were born after the entrance examination.
They are currently the fastest promoted in the officialdom, and they are also the people with the broadest future.
There was a moment of brewing in his mouth, and just when his lips were about to start, cheers came from his ears.
Looking up, two immigrant ships were escorted by a group of armed merchant ships and came to the pier.
Forget about talking anymore, Lemiel hurriedly started his steps and rushed to the vicinity of the besieged governor. The next step is about the future.
Thomas looked indifferently at the slowly docking cargo ship, and then walked over.
As the central point, when His Excellency the Governor moved, all the people around him surged up, and the crowd slowly moved to the trestle bridge.
The cargo ship had already lowered thedder, and a fat man with a big belly came down with a serious face, making it seem like everyone owed him money.
But when he saw His Excellency the Governor, his face suddenly melted, the flesh on his face was squeezed into a ball, his eyes were narrowed, and he looked a little cute instead.
"Your Excellency, ording to the decree of the Privy Council, this is the immigrant poption in March, a total of 668 people, 321 adult males, 252 females, and 95 children!"
Immigrants are mainly men, but most of the time they migrate in families, so there are also many women and children.
"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Wiggs!" His Excellency the Governor squeezed out a smile on his face, andforted him softly.
"This is my mission, Your Excellency the Governor!" Fatty''s expression eased a lot, and he continued, "For His Majesty the King!"
"For His Majesty the King!" His Excellency the Governor was not slow to react, and he also said something softly.
The two of them stared at each other, and then suddenlyughed. The scene looked very friendly.
For the sake of His Majesty the King, this is just a joke. It is extremely popr in English official circles, more precisely, it is popr among the group of officials who were admitted because of the examination.
After teasing for a while, let’s talk about what happened in Ennd. Half an hour passed like this, and all the immigrants on board also left.
The two greeted each other again, and after saying goodbye, His Excellency the Governor brought the immigrants to the temporary camp, which was where previous immigrants stayed after they came to Irnd.
The rest was naturally arranged, and His Excellency the Governor returned to his mansion.
Walking into the hall, eighteen pairs ofntern-like eyes stared straight at him, looking like they wanted to devour everything, but they didn''t frighten him.
This is the rhythm ofing every month, and his strong heart has adapted.
"Your Excellency the Governor—" With a burst of greetings, Thomas sat down peacefully.
"There are rtively few immigrants this month, so don''t fight for the top ten strongholds that have been allocatedst time!"
Thomas said something faintly when he saw the look of everyone ready to move.
"Oh—" Immediately, exmations in the hall were endless.
Lemire, John Perot and the other eight were overjoyed.
"Your Excellency, our ce is the farthest from Dublin and faces the most pressure from the Irish. This time we need 200 people."
John Perot stood directly in front of Thomas, without even thinking about it, and spit out arge number.
Seeing this, the faces of the other seven people were on fire, and they were out of breath.
"Your Excellency, we also need 200 people in our stronghold. Recently, arge tribe moved here!" "Your Excellency, we need 150 people..."
"His Excellency the Governor—" "His Excellency the Governor—"…
John was about to swallow the appetite of one-third of the immigrants at one time, and immediately angered the others. Various figures popped up like money. If they were added together, there would be more than 1,500 people!
As a result, the Sir, who knew that he hadmitted the wrath of the public, shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
Sitting on the main seat, His Excellency the Governor was also hurt by this kind of discussion, especially the sound of His Excellency, the Governor, was simply a reminder.
Rubbing his eyes, His Excellency the Governor red at Mr. Jazz who started the war, and could only get a wry smile.
