My British Empire

This war not only allowed Wenger Town to gain a large number of people and finances, but more importantly, Wenger Town gained its prestige.

Since Wenger Town contributed the most, it occupied the bulk of the property division. Except for the land, the rest basically fell into the arms of Wenger Town.

Among them, various small tribes attached to the Kelly tribe were included.

Although these vassal tribes escaped in time and saved a lot of power, they still had to pay the price for choosing the wrong team.

According to the requirements, the small tribe that was originally attached to must belong to the leadership of Wenger Town, and must hand over one-tenth of the newborn lambs and calves every year, and one-tenth of the harvested grain.

In addition, Sir John signed a decree reappointing the chiefs of their tribe, and delivered the canonization to Dublin, and then to London.

Starting today, these tribes will become vassals of the English settlements, and troops will be sent to fight if necessary.

As for the Catholic faith, Sir John did not touch it.

To believe in this way, you need to go slowly, use time to pass the time, and don't act too hastily.

So far, after nearly three years of hard work, Sir John has finally taken an important step in the North Donegal area.

As for when the North Donegal region will be completely annexed, it is only a matter of time. In his eyes, the remaining two major tribes are nothing more than dishes in a bowl.

Not only Donegal County, but also the nine counties of Ulster Province. The two strongholds in each county made preparations for the same attack at the same time.

At the same time, a young man in his thirties was standing in the ruins, with the fire shining on his face, stepping on the fallen plank, his smile was so bright.

In the distance, there was endless crying, and the heaven seemed to be moved. It started to rain continuously, and the raindrops fell on his stubbled face, which made him laugh even louder.

Hahaha! This is the result of three years of hard work by me, Lemire Watson. Thanks to the governor, I can wipe out this largest tribe in one fell swoop!

He looked around, the collapsed house, the howling woman, and the blood on the ground washed by the rain, which made him feel extremely happy and proud.

I'm afraid, among the eighteen people, I am the first to complete the task! I am really looking forward to the moment when I am summoned by His Majesty the King!

Lemire Watson couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart any longer, and laughed out loud. As a commoner, reaching his current achievements has almost exhausted his efforts, and even the white hair on his head can be seen a lot .

Once he was proud, he was overjoyed, and he began to look forward to the scene of being received by His Majesty the King.

Such victorious scenes followed one after the other in Ulster, with the result always being the same, with England starting to make their biggest stride in Ireland.

The reason for this is that the gun factories in England have made great strides in development.

His Majesty Edward has always been estimating the country's military power, and weapons and equipment are the most important thing in military power.

As the Royal Arms Bureau, there are thousands of artisans serving it, plus various handymen serving it, no less than five thousand.

Spears, longbows, muskets, cannons, warships, there are all kinds of categories.

It can be said that this is England, and even Europa, is one of the best weapons factories.

As the private property of the royal family, the Royal Arms Bureau receives no less than 5,000 pounds of funding each year for the research of new weapons and the expansion of production lines.

In this case, the production of matchlock guns has developed rapidly.

From five per day to thirty per day, the output has expanded fivefold.

Moreover, practice makes perfect, and the production of matchlock guns is still improving.

In this way, England soon formed its own production standard, the matchlock gun standard.

The gun has a caliber of one inch (25.4 mm) and a mass of 20 to 30 pounds. The weight of the full bullet is about two ounces (one ounce is 28.3 grams). The maximum range is 250 yards, and the effective range is 100 yards. to support the firing, but the leaden projectiles fired were so powerful that they could penetrate the heavy breastplates worn by knights within 100 yards (most weapons at the time could hardly do any damage beyond 80 yards).

It can be said that this is the most advanced matchlock gun of this era.

Of course, this is based on the Spaniards. After all, they are more advanced, so it is not wrong to learn from them.

Your Majesty, please look, these craftsmen are responsible for polishing the barrels. They are all skilled masters. They can polish a barrel every day!

Under the leadership of the director of the Weapons Bureau, a vigorous old man, Edward visited the master craftsman with several apprentices to polish the barrel.

The most important thing about matchlock guns is the barrel, and only these skilled old craftsmen can create a batch of perfect barrels. They are simply the greatest treasures.

As for the manual work is too slow, can the protagonist invent other methods, Edward said, I am a liberal arts student, so I have no choice.

After looking at it from a distance, Edward chose to leave. After all, the noise is really tormenting, so just come and see. He has never heard of a king coming to meet the workers in person. This is the first time for him!

How is the assembly line going? Edward looked at a few places again, and found that the efficiency was not bad, which was not the same as the original speed.

Your Majesty, since the implementation of the assembly line method, the efficiency has indeed increased a lot, thanks to your method!

The director of the Weapons Bureau was originally a craftsman, and Edward valued his prestige and promoted him specially.

Furthermore, Edward believes that it is a wrong choice to entrust professional people to do professional things, and it is a wrong choice for laymen to lead experts.

Glancing at the wrinkled chief with thinning hair, and then at his bent waist, Edward found that the old craftsman who used to tremble when he saw him was now talking sloppily.

Even flattered.

Sure enough, the officialdom is the place to learn the most knowledge, and it is also the place to train people the most. There is no fool who can reach a high position.

Well, not only to improve efficiency, but also remember to improve the lives of craftsmen and make them more serious and enthusiastic!

His Majesty the King, who walked around for a while, made an important speech after the tour, and made extremely important suggestions to the Weapons Bureau.

Also, there is still a shortage of craftsmen in England, remember to go to other countries to find more craftsmen, don't be reluctant to pay!

Finally, I would like to emphasize that we must do a good job in the security work of the Weapons Bureau, pay attention to fire prevention, and prevent workers from leaking weapon information!

Yes, Your Majesty! The wrinkled director, patiently, agreed to listen to the nonsense that His Majesty said.

Edward also realized that he had said too much. These have been said before, and it is a bit annoying to say it again.

But, he is the king, who dares to express his irritability, instead he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

This is also one aspect of Edward's liking for bureaucrats. He can kneel and lick people who are older than him.

Much better than those nobles who let their temper pass.
