They did know the voyage to England!

Bacon, who returned to the Siyi Lin Pavilion, was still pounding his heart. He asked Zou Yuanbiao for questions. Although Shi Xiaolou did plan to increase his salary, his salary increase had nothing to do with Shi Xiaolou. After investigating him, Shi Xiaolou looked at him from afar and bowed his hand slightly.

Shi Ye, who was the first to join the prosperous Fujian Guanghe period in Xiangshan Qianhushou, did not care about the work of his timber farm workers. In Changsheng, countless people wanted to work in the timber farm. His business involved mines in Luzon, beads in Sulu, kerosene in Majiagang, silver in Tasco, timber in Changsheng, and pirates in Qilinwei. How could he care about a small lumberjack like Bacon?

Shi Xiaolou returned to Changsheng to find his fellow villagers and companions, and discussed the establishment of Hexingsheng Company on the East Coast, and asked Chen Mu whether the court could really give them warships.

Bacon asked to see Zou Yuanbiao, not to ask Zou Yuanbiao to give him a job.

He had few opportunities to go out to sea, but he had also sailed five times and knew how long it would take to return to England from New World.

What he wanted to be sure was that Zou Yuanbiao, the always-winning magistrate of the Ming army who had never been to the east of the western border of Ming Dynasty, knew how far it was to sail from the Caribbean Sea to England.

Because he heard that on the west side of Changsheng Port, there was a place called the small bay, where 1,200 soldiers recruited by Changsheng locals were undergoing training. Their name was Ailan Restoration Army, and the leader was Zhu Xiaoen, the King of Ailan who lost his fiefdom in the Ming Empire.

There is nothing strange about this matter. It is simply that the name Alan is somewhat similar to the name of a land he knows.

But the chance driven by curiosity made Bacon know that in the entire Changsheng, everyone he could contact did not know where the fiefdom that King Alan had lost was.

The Asian indigenous people did not know that it was understandable, but immigrants from the Ming Empire did not know that. There were even talkative people who listed the titles of the king he knew to Bacon, and very few of them had the words.

Immigration said that this should be the overseas king of Yi, who was canonized by the emperor, who had such a strange title.

People who were fortunate to witness the honor of King Alan said that King Alan was not born like a Ming person, but was somewhat similar to Westerners or Bacon himself.

Even the A-level cavalry Ying Ming didn't know where King Alan came from, but only knew that he had lost his ban, so with the support of the Eastern General, he recruited a militia, gave the armor and equipment to train elite troops, and boasted that his combat skills were all A-level, Ying Ming was almost selected to be a cavalry flag at that time.

In the quiet night of the Four Wild House, Bacon, who lost his roommate, lit the oil lamp, wrote clues about the matter one by one on the paper, and reasoned it out.

‘There are 1,200 troops in the Kingdom of Ailan.’

This matter is easy to find out. Everyone talks about is one thousand households, and it seems no secret that it is always a victory.

‘The Ming army’s Eastern commander Chen Mu selected the best subordinates to serve as instructors.’

The Beiyang Banner Army only has three ranks: A, B and C. Different military ranks have different military pay and treatment. Class A is the best, and Ying Ming often takes pride in this.

‘No one knows what their purpose is, they only know that they are not in the ocean.’

This was what Bacon himself reasoned. He wrote down his reasoning later: the fleet that ruled the sea with the Ming Empire. If the Kingdom of Ayran is in the sea west of the New World, it would not be necessary for these thousand well-equipped soldiers to restore the country.

There is only one reason why the Ming Empire's fleet cannot reach that point.

The more bacon is written, the more sweat it becomes on the forehead.

Because the most likely place is the Mediterranean Sea, Europe, and where is the most likely the Kingdom of Ayran in the Mediterranean Sea?

Ireland!

Who is now nominally ruled by Ireland?

His queen!

In other words, the soldiers trained by the Ming army in the small bay only five miles away from him are likely to attack his country in the future under the leadership of Zhu Xiaoen!

Today, Bacon originally wanted to ask Zou Yuanbiao this question directly, but he didn't dare to ask it because he couldn't imagine how Zou Yuanbiao would be treated after answering or avoiding this question.

All of this was horrible for Francis Bacon.

On paper, Bacon was drawn a line between Ireland and the Ming Empire, and a line between Ireland and Zhu Xiaoen, and a line between them and Chen Mu.

But even if there are many lines drawn, Bacon still finds it difficult to understand how they are connected.

The Ming army has never taken Europe!

"Is it because of Spain?"

According to Bacon's understanding, although the Ming Dynasty and Spain negotiated peace and maintained seemingly harmony, the Ming and Spain have always been hostile in the past few years. For example, when Drake brought the news of the Ming Dynasty landing in the New World to England for the first time, the Ming Dynasty and Spain were in the early stages of the war.

Where can one really be harmonious? Bacon thinks they just eat calmly with chopsticks on the table, and kick each other with their feet wearing leather boots under the table.

How could the Ming Dynasty be so naive that she was willing to help Spain?

The dispute between England and Spain has been a long and involved a lot, and it is only a small matter to make money from England that England makes.

Fei Lao Er's ex-wife was Elizabeth's sister, the Queen of England, Bloody Mary, so he was the King of England. After Bloody Mary's death, Fei Lao Er proposed to Elizabeth and was rejected.

In the French Religious War, Spain supported Catholicism, England supported Protestantism, and everyone fought hard on the land of the third son.

The Netherlands was independent, and the French Protestants and England supported the Netherlands and continued to open films with Spain.

There is no way, they must fight a war on the geopolitical ground. If France is controlled by Protestantism, Elizabeth will border Spain on land, which is not good for Fei Lao Er; and once the Spanish yellow-clothed soldiers gain a foothold in the Netherlands, England, a hundred nautical miles away, will be blocked by the Spanish fleet at any time.

But why did the Ming army wade into this muddy water?

Joining the Kingdom of Ayland was Ireland, so what were the benefits of the Ming Dynasty supporting this war?

Bacon was puzzled - England has not completely occupied Ireland yet, but it is almost there.

As land enclosures increased and more considerable profits, the nobles' desire for land became stronger and stronger. As this continued, the nobles in Northern Ireland would try to provoke war again and defeat the tribes one by one.

The English nobles wanted to raise sheep there, so what did the Ming army want to do? Could it be that they also raise sheep?

Isn’t it enough for them to raise sheep like this in the New World?

Bacon didn't know if his guess was correct, but he missed Drake very much now. If Drake was here, it might have given him some reasonable answers.

But now he only has himself, and he fell asleep with a not-so-accurate guess.

Before going to bed, Bacon thought that he must find a way to send the news back to England!
