This Earl from Britain was a poor man.
The Howard family was originally a long-established aristocracy in Britain and owned a huge territory on the coast of Britain. According to the historical process, this family can continue to be prosperous just by collecting rent.
What's frustrating is that.
The Industrial Revolution is coming.
The Howard family, following the trend of the Industrial Revolution, used all their land to build factories...
then……
Tragedy happened.
In the trend of the Industrial Revolution, not everyone can complete the transformation from agriculture to industry and earn a lot of money. The Howard family is one of the tragedies.
Because they didn't know much about industrial technology, they kept up with the barbaric ways of the Industrial Revolution without delving into the fine science.
History is fair.
The Howard family almost went bankrupt.
Finally, he was involved in a lawsuit over the ownership of the land.
This made the Howard family feel disheartened.
The land has belonged to the family since ancient times.
Why should it be given to those squires and the knights who had saddled them before? Where is the aura of their nobility, where is the glory of their nobility?
The stubbornness of the old nobles made them deeply disappointed with the king of the British authorities.
So, they took all the wealth they could take with them and followed the general trend to Australia. Although the family members had begun to wither, they still maintained the nobility of their European aristocrats and spent a lot of money to buy an already We have a rudimentary village and town, and it took us a month to organize and plan it.
"Father, it should be almost done..."
Howard is a stubborn old man.
This long period of regulation has made the younger generations of the family complain a little.
Because they show off their wealth too much!
When they first arrived in Australia, they couldn't help but spend so much money. Who wouldn't be jealous? They don't know what kind of place Australia is yet.
When Howard heard this, he snorted and poked the ground hard with the gorgeous crutch in his hand: "What do you mean it's almost done? What do you mean it's almost done! This is etiquette, this is the etiquette of our British nobles, and you can't lose it at all. !continue!"
A group of people grimaced.
We have obviously fallen into Australia, so why are you still talking about etiquette?
"Father, what do you think of this military leasing?"
"I think it is necessary to rent an army to protect our safety...Father, there is a group of pirates stationed not far away. I am afraid that they will do evil to us..."
Howard nodded: "Let's go, three hundred troops? Ha... We have to pay attention to persuading people with virtue, and persuading people with virtue, understand? If those pirates are really coming, what will happen with three hundred people?"
"Okay father."
…
In fact, everyone is paying attention to the situation on Duke Howard's side now.
As long as investors come to Australia, they are waiting.
After all, when these people came to Australia, they all had their own warships, guards, and even troops.
Only people like Howard came with their own family and there were very few guards.
But, they are rich enough...
In Australia, a place where good and bad people are mixed, isn’t it just fish on the chopping board? Let others slaughter you?
and……
Looking at the map of Australia, the Howard family, determined to die, chose a village close to those murderous pirates... Isn't this looking for death?
These people are all waiting to see a joke.
certainly.
One is to watch the Howard family jokes.
Second, it’s also a joke about Australia.
After all, many people still disagree with this policy. No one wants to leave their security issues to others. Wouldn't it be nice if you had armed forces in your own hands?
Besides...
Three hundred people?
Today's Australia is a mixed bag of good and bad. Which of these oligarchs and rich people didn't come with hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of entourages?
three hundred?
What can you do with three hundred?
funny!
…
The Howard family soon hired three hundred fully armed troops from Xie Fang.
In fact, when hiring, these people from Howard were a little hesitant.
Just three hundred?
They want more. After all, it’s not like their family doesn’t have such conditions.
But Howard insisted on temporarily hiring three hundred people.
Finally, Xie Fang waved his hand.
After all, he is the first person in Australia to eat crabs, right? And all things considered, because the Howard family is in a somewhat complicated location - the pirates are right next to it, Xie Fang was generous, hiring three hundred and giving three hundred as a gift!
Six hundred soldiers rushed to the village where the Howard family lived overnight.
"Kakakaka!"
These six hundred soldiers are all soldiers brought by Qin Changfeng. They are well-trained and have strong combat effectiveness. All of them were wearing green military uniforms, which looked very explosive at night.
When they came, they were very high-profile.
After all, this was his first time being hired, and Xie Fang also had an idea to shock these active oligarchs from head to toe.
"The Longyan Army is indeed extraordinary!"
"Really well trained!"
"Discipline!"
"Hmph, what's the use of looking good? It all depends on the real fighting power!"
People who paid attention to this matter immediately started talking about it.
Howard spent money and was quite satisfied when he saw the money. These soldiers were fully armed and even carried weapons and equipment that many people had never seen before. When they arrived at the village, they began to be on strict alert.
The whole is one sentence.
major.
Upon arriving at the scene, the captain of this team began to study the deployment of defenses.
From the southeast, northwest and all directions of the village, sentries were arranged very scientifically and simple defenses were built. And paired with the many defensive weapons they brought, many things have never been seen before by Hao Hao, a once great noble family in Britain.
"What's this?"
"Please step aside, it's a bit dangerous."
"What is this?"
"Hello, on duty, please keep quiet!"
Everyone in the Howard family asked curiously.
He even narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Could it be that these Dragon Flame people are really much stronger than the British army?"
At least now, he was still shocked.
If he had been in Britain before, he would have definitely wondered how there could be a stronger army in this world than the Imperial Army. But now that he has come to Australia, his whole attitude has become more polite. It is well known that Australia belongs to the Longyan people.
So……
Are these 600 people who came today the Long Yan army?
powerful.
At least in terms of the temperament of the soldiers, it is better than those of the British army that prides itself on the spiritual glory of the nobility.
But, can these people be beaten?
…
Can it be fought?
Xie Fang never worried.
joke……
Throughout Longyan and Liangzhou, in addition to Jiang Xuan's Dark Night Army, Qin Changfeng also had his own guard army.
This team also has a total of three thousand people.
It's called "Goshawk"!
And it was a small team of the Goshawk Brigade that went to the Howard family today.
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness is natural. This full armor alone is already armed to the teeth.
All of them are Liangzhou’s most advanced weapons!
Xie Fang never worried that these soldiers could not fight...
All he cares about is what kind of scene this first appearance will be.
so.
In fact, he was also looking forward to it.
I am looking forward to this time, when those ragtag pirate groups will be defeated as soon as possible...
Call early.
He wants investors throughout Australia to see how powerful the military he wants to lease is, and how powerful it is!
…
midnight.
The atmosphere in Howard Village that night was a bit strange.
It seems that this is actually an agreed battle drill. The Howard family hired troops and pirates came to attack.
This is what everyone knows should happen.
It's just that this drill is a drill with real guns and live ammunition.
If Liu Zheng had been at the scene, he would have felt that this thing always looked so strange and strange. It's like a tower defense game, knowing that these pirates have been coveting the Howard family's wealth, knowing that they will come soon. But you just can't take the initiative and can only defend passively.
Because the pirates don't take action, he will always be Australia's guest and Australian investor!
but……
It would be different if they took action.
wait.
Everyone is waiting.
Finally, the One-Eyed Dragon Pirates couldn't bear it anymore.
