Since England has undergone a series of reforms, especially the most important local reform, that is, centralization.

Edward will send the Minister of the Privy Council to personally check and supervise the eight regions, and strive to complete such reforms smoothly.

Although the process is always accompanied by riots and obstructions, after three years of development, it has finally stabilized, and the rest is just a matter of running in.

At this time, Ireland, England's first colony, came into Edward's eyes, and it was his own experimental site.

If it is said that Henry VIII was calm and only took advantage of the name, then by this time, Edward had undergone great changes.

The gradual stabilization of the internal affairs made our Majesty the King finally set his sights on Ireland.

This policy is called double-pronged.

First of all, Edward continued to implement Henry VIII's policy of paying first and giving later, and gradually expanded to the entire island of Ireland.

Of course, this pace is slow, and the effect is not very obvious, but it is the most important thing. The name cannot be stopped.

On the other hand, in addition to implementing this policy, Edward also implemented colonial expansion.

First confiscate the Irish land and give it to the obedient Irish, and then pull the obedient ones to occupy the disobedient land together.

Edward's double control is different from the double control in history.

In the sixteenth century in history, the colonization of England was the real colonization.

Colonization means reproduction and breeding.

Colonization means that a strong country immigrates to the area it conquered, and plunders the interests of the original local people, plunders and enslaves the local people, and immigrates to the area it conquered.

To put it bluntly, the original English looked down on the Irish very much, and even didn’t regard them as human beings.

Of course, this is the same as they later looked down on Chinese and Africans.

Englanders who consider themselves advanced civilization look down on those Irish who still have slavery and are still dominated by tribes.

is to directly confiscate the land of the aborigines in Ireland, drive them away, occupy and enslave the Irish.

You may not believe it, but the triangular trade, that is, the slave trade, actually originally targeted the Irish.

Africa was full of tribes at that time, and there were also some big countries with powerful troops.

In the current period when firearms have not yet flourished, a large number of troops is the greatest danger.

So, the Irish became the target of the English, were trafficked to South America, served as slaves to the Spaniards and Portuguese, and opened mines.

When it came time to colonize North America, the Irish still accounted for a certain proportion of the slave trade.

It can be said that the largest builders of the United States in the early days were these Irish slaves.

Later, the Irish were the largest ethnic group in the United States. Like blacks, they came to the United States as slaves.

So, the Irish have always been dubbed the terms of wine, brutality, and violence.

The new colonization advocated by Edward is not the case.

After this kind of immigration, using less to strike more, although the benefits are great, but it is very difficult, and even forced the originally divided Irish to unite, creating even greater difficulties.

Our Majesty the King implements another strategy, wooing a group and suppressing a group.

Unitedly choose tribes close to England, and cooperate to fight against those hostile tribes, so as to gradually expand the British occupation area and gain more and more followers.

In the later stage, this is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and finally Ireland will join England naturally.

As the colonial New Deal, the Ulster region of Ireland became the main target of England.

According to the oldest division of Ireland, the whole of England is divided into Ulster, Connaught, Munster and Leinster.

These four provinces still have provincial flags.

The province of Ulster is close to England and is the northernmost part of the island of Ireland. It is the main area of ??England's colonization. The Dublin area is here, and it also includes the later Northern Ireland.

The westernmost is Connaught, the easternmost is Leinster, and the southernmost is Munster.

Erosion step by step, steady and steady, is the policy instructed by Edward himself.

Thomas Mane, who came to Ireland, chose the nailing policy based on His Majesty's strategy and the situation in Ireland.

The so-called nailing is to divide the Ulster region into a dozen small points as a stronghold, and then expand the area with points, striving to digest Ulster Province in one fell swoop within five years.

John Perot, as the chief of one of the strongholds, of course he has the obligation to win more immigrants for his stronghold.

The moment he saw the king again, he knew that his fate would be different.

At a very young age, his mother told him that his father was Henry VIII, King of England.

Once, he was distressed.

As the king's son, he doesn't have any inheritance rights, at most he owns a large manor, and doesn't even have a title of knight.

But the reality forced him to succumb, and gradually began to agree with this concept again, and he gave up.

But after the death of Henry VIII, he suddenly got a knight title and became a high-ranking figure in the county.

When he felt what a real nobleman is, he realized how small and short-sighted he was.

Until he met the young king, he knew that his chance to become a real nobleman had come.

As an illegitimate child, his chances of becoming a nobleman are hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people.

So, even when he came to Ireland, he still worked tirelessly and worked diligently.

This is definitely not to become the so-called court noble, but to become a powerful noble with a fief.

Only with definite credit can he get what he wants.

Layers of memories flooded my mind, and at this moment, bursts of cheers came from my ears.

John looked up and saw that two dark cargo ships were gradually approaching the port under the **** of five or six merchant ships.

Ordinary people will be excited, of course.

Every time an immigrant comes, there must be armed merchant ships escorting them, and the merchant ships also bring the commodities needed by the colony, and purchase the specialties here, and bring them back to England.

And in front of him, His Excellency the Governor of Ireland, also showed a faint smile on his staid face at the moment.

Right behind him, the heads of a dozen other strongholds also looked at the cargo ship coming from afar with joy on their faces, and became wary of each other.

Of course, the same is true for Sir John. Population is the booster of his achievements.

Every month, it's the usual drama in Dublin.
