Queen Elizabeth never thought that war would break out in the territory under her rule.

Even if it is just a tiny rebellion.

This queen had many wise decisions, but her kingdom encountered many problems. In fact, people later had roughly wrong impressions of her. She was a lucky person in history, extremely long and was resurrected and deified again and again after her death.

Some people say that all history is contemporary history, and this is the most appropriate statement to Queen Elizabeth.

At this moment, England is in its worst era, with insufficient royal taxes, local corruption becoming a trend, and lack of royal finances has led to weak national defense.

In order to pursue stability, the kingdom neither valued the power of traditional aristocratic people nor could it form a national army. At sea, they could only rely on pirates and privateers. The Puritans became more and more extreme under her rule, but she did nothing.

People always try to find objective reasons for the so-called Battle of England and the West from multiple angles, but that is mostly just far-fetched. What was the biggest result of England and the West in the first Battle of England and the West? It was to use eight fire boats to rush into the Calais port where the Invincible Fleet was moored with the help of the full moon tide and burn a ship.

The remaining ships encountered hurricanes in the following battle. The fleet scattered around the British Isles. The reefs were hit and the wind were blown away. The large army had never waited for the wind that brought them back and could only return to Spain, and they still retained two-thirds of their combat power to return to Spain.

The subsequent Stuart dynasty reversed the bad finances and made people mistakenly believe that the Elizabethan era was the golden age of England; and during the Napoleon period, England was invaded by foreign enemies, and at this time Elizabeth undoubtedly became a symbol of resisting foreign threats; and in the Victorian era, England finally became the empire of the sun never set, and Queen Elizabeth was the most in line with the empire's ideology.

Of course, even if the queen is raised, she still has a team of staff that is stronger than Fei Laoer in this era.

William Cecil, who is in charge of finance, Robert Dudley, Francis Walsinheim, who is in charge of intelligence, and Hawkins, who set out to build the Royal Navy of England.

If we must list anything, if the above people are Wang Chonggu, Fang Fengshi, Wu Dui and Ma Fang, the aides of Spanish Philip are at best Zhao Quan, Altan Khan's White Lotus Sect.

Especially Walsingheim, who was in charge of intelligence, even knew more about the progress of the Ming-French war on French land, the forces and situations of both sides, than Chen Mu.

Because Walsingheim convinced the pirates in the French port of La Rochelle to kidnap the Pope's ambassador to Paris, and received all the letters from Fei Laoer to the Paris Catholic League, and he also sent someone to blackmail the male servants who could enter the Pope's secret room to obtain the letters sent by Spain to the Pope. By contrast, almost everything Philip knew, England knew.

Chen Mu can't do it, because Chen Mu sealed the port because of the plague... Fu Yuan, Chen Jiujing, Yuan Zizhang and others have done something in France in the past six months, but he doesn't know anything.

But the English royal family knew nothing about what happened in Plymouth, just as the Jinyiwei could not use it against the Spanish, and Walsinheim could not spy on any useful information from the Ming people living in England.

Yang Gao, a fake blind man in the palace, kept rushing to the Queen to build the Irish Bridge, but he didn't know how to build the bridge. Even after the Plymouth rebellion, Yang Gao was very calm, as if he had nothing to do with this matter, and even if he was imprisoned, he would not take it seriously - just kidding, this old blind man was not afraid of Chen Mu, who insisted on killing and setting fire for half the world. He had never seen any situation, and would he be afraid of the black prison in England?

Especially Yang Gao really knew nothing about this rebellion.

However, the thief Tang Er, a habitual thief, was extremely sensitive to being caught. Walsingheim had bribed his maid, but he found that foreigners had come to the mansion, which were all Chinese. Then he countered the bribe and found out that Plymouth's rebellion was not right. He slipped into the London Royal City Guard Arsenal that day and snucked the fire. He took advantage of the chaos and took the guards to jump on a woolen ship originally planned to lead to the Netherlands. After going out to sea, he beat the captain and hijacked the merchant ship to Ireland for a high price, bringing rescuers to Plymouth.

Everything was realized later for the royal family in the UK. Hawkins had thought a lot in the past, thought about the Ming and Western coalition forces expedition to Plymouth while the fleet had not yet been formed, and thought about the French sabotage to destroy the military port, but he never thought about the military port still there, Plymouth changed hands, and the new navy also turned into a bubble.

Only Drake came back in one of the seven new Galen ships. He really wanted to drive them all back, but he had no one.

In this world, only eight people can start the lucky ship. Whether it is the Western Galen, the British Galen or the Nanyang Galen ship, referring to the Western Galen hull combined with the Chinese sail, the sailors needed to start the ship far exceed this number.

Here we have to say that Hawkins felt extremely envious after getting information about the Spanish royal family from Walsinheim.

What this bare-rod commander in charge of naval logistics most envies is naturally the Ming ship.

Faced with the giant Garen ships that Spain expended a lot of money to build, Hawkins chose to build a relatively small Garen ship as a standard armed merchant ship and warship, but even the small Garen ships were too expensive for the small country of England.

The complex sailing of Galen ships makes it very necessary sailors. More necessary sailors mean that when transporting cargo as a merchant ship, there must be more sailors on the ship, and there must be more water and grain, so there will be relatively few cargoes and less profits. In the long run, this means huge losses.

But this problem seems insurmountable, and at this moment, from a letter written by Philip to the Pope, he learned that there is a kind of ship in this world called the Happy Ship, a merchant ship of 150 or 60 tons. Only twenty or thirty people on the ship can carry thirty or forty tons of goods day and night to sail on the sea. There is still plenty of effort to load a few cyclone cannons on the ship - that's so fucking happy!

It is said that happiness ships are generally slower than armed merchant ships when they are in the wind, but the Spanish idiots have never obtained even a happy ship. On the one hand, Chen Mu, as the official, is not allowed to sell ships to foreigners, and on the other hand, other ships do not retreat against the wind, do not spin or capsize, and the happiness ship can still turn forward with a bend, but the speed is not slow.

However, this ship seems not difficult to build. Philip said in his letter that Spain already knows how to build it, and the rest is to find a way to communicate with Chen Mu and borrow some boatmen.

Hawkins didn't care whether Spain would build it. How did he care the most about the ship - Philip did not tell the Pope in the letter, do you say it's angering!
