The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 New England Colony

　　 The atmosphere in Plymouth was tense. Dozens of people from the Puritans held muskets and looked at the hundreds of musketeers in front of them with pale expressions.

　　 Leading the Puritan is the young Pastor McGonagall. Behind him stands most of the Puritan parliamentarians.

　　 Opposite them from Pastor McGonagall are armed sailors from the Plymouth Company, headed by Governor William and Mr. Miller.

　　 "McGonagall! Elder Brest has fallen into a coma. As his friend, I must take him back to London. His illness can only be treated in London. Do you want to kill him?"

　　 Governor William is a burly man in his thirties, wearing leather armor and a felt hat. The two ends of the mustache on his lips are raised high, and he looks at McGonagall with a serious face.

　　 McGonagall's face was tense and pale, he glanced at his companion who was gradually losing his courage, and his heart was mixed.

It turns out that due to the bad conditions in New England, some people will die every year due to the battles with the natives and various diseases. Of course, this is also because the leaders of the colony do not produce, but the white slaves are constantly being squeezed. many people.

　　 is also because the leaders do not produce, so many leaders can not stand the harsh environment and primitive conditions in New England, because of dysentery, smallpox, typhoid and other diseases have also died several.

In the winter, the residents of New England burned firewood indoors to keep warm. Elder Brest was choked by smoke several times because of asthma. As a result, his condition worsened and he was already seriously ill twice in the spring. Although McGonagall and William The governor invited an Indian witch doctor who lived next to him for treatment, but the effect was not satisfactory. Recently, the weather has warmed up but Brest has fallen into a coma and is close to a dying state.

Before Brest was in a coma, he called McGonagall in front of him and told him to protect himself, because as long as he died or left New England, McGonagall could not inherit his position to lead New England based on his prestige. People, the Governor William of Plymouth Company will definitely want to control the power of Plymouth City, and the status of the Puritan will not be guaranteed by that time.

Pastor McGonagall kept the instructions of Elder Brest in mind, and then stood by Elder Brest’s side to take care of him every day, but as Elder Brest’s health became worse and worse, Governor William couldn’t bear it. , Together with Miller on the Puritan side, he wanted to send Brest back to London for treatment and take away the unconscious Elder Brest.

　　 Although McGonagall is not sensitive, he also guessed that they had bad intentions.

Although Brest is in a coma, the Puritans are still united by his side. If Brest leaves New England and Miller has made it clear that he supports Governor William, then McGonagall will completely lose his rights and be formed by the Puritans in a dismal heart. The council that governs Plymouth City will also become a decoration.

　　 So McGonagall led the Puritans to defend the unconscious Brest, and both sides even took coercive measures during the stalemate.

Governor William came forward and softly persuaded McGonagall's tight body to relax a little. He shook his head and said: "Elder Brest's body can no longer support the running on the sea. We better wait here for his awakening and listen to him. Commanded."

　　 Miller sneered, and the hook nose seemed to be more curved.

"Why don't you let us treat Elder Brest? Do you want to kill him? So that you can inherit the position of the elder and control the council? His body is almost unsupported, and he must return to London immediately. Saved! If you disagree with us taking away the elders for treatment, there is a ghost in your heart!"

　　 "You...you talk nonsense!"

　　 McGonagall's face flushed red, and he pointed to Miller angrily and said, "I don't have the ambition to inherit the position of the elder! I don't want you to save... It's the elder who asked me..."

Miller and William were overjoyed when they saw McGonagall's emotions. Then the two continued to be aggressive and the other was relieved. After a while, McGonagall was speechless and seemed to disagree with them taking Bryce away. The request of the special elder proved that he was the murderer who caused the serious illness of Elder Brest, and was an ambitious.

There were only two Puritans around McGonagall who helped him speak at first, but it didn’t work. In the end McGonagall couldn’t bear the pressure, so he could only approve Miller and Governor William’s request in frustration, and then McGonagall asked for the best relationship with him The two companions will follow Elder Brest to board the ship in London so that they can take care of the safety of the elders on the way.

　　 Elder Bryster and two Puritans, who were unconscious that afternoon, were accompanied by animal skins. They left New England on an armed merchant ship of the Plymouth Company and headed east in the sea, riding the wind and waves.

　　 After Elder Brest and the two councillors left, Plymouth City spent two days of calm. But on the third day, Governor William announced the dissolution of the Puritan Council and the establishment of the Plymouth Council. The Plymouth and other colonists served as members of the Council. Then the Plymouth Company was responsible for and managed everything in the colony.

　　 McGonagall was very angry about this, but after he protested, he found that almost all the Puritans had stood behind Miller, and Miller became the first speaker of the parliament.

　　 Within a few days, the humiliated McGonagall found out that there was no one beside him to rely on.

　　 The colony of New England has no place for McGonagall except Virginia in the south. Now McGonagall has the only option to go back to London besides going to Virginia. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

　　 Feeling the increasingly unfriendly atmosphere in Plymouth, McGonagall decided to leave Plymouth and return to London temporarily.

McGonagall decided to go back to London to find his teacher Brest and two other friends. Maybe they can seek help from the Massachusetts company, which is the most powerful of the three companies that have participated in colonizing New England in the past two years. Has always been at odds with Plymouth.

　　 On June 20, McGonagall finally boarded a ship returning from the Creek Company.

　　 After McGonagall left Plymouth by boat in an embarrassing manner, Miller and William in the city learned of the situation for the first time.

　　 Miller thought for a while and got up to find William.

　　 "Your Excellency, McGonagall wants to go back to London on a creek company ship, do you know?"

Governor William is sitting on the sofa holding a pipe and smoking tobacco, which is unique to America. He has been obsessed with the smoky feeling and the smell of cigarettes since last year. Seeing Miller come in and beckon him to take a sip, see Miller Rejecting his talent, he smashed the ashes, put away his pipe and said: "I just heard, a loser, what does he do?"

　　 Miller frowned, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid he won't be able to find Brest, George, and Bairam when he arrives in London and will cause trouble!"

"This…"

Governor William sat upright slowly, then tapped his fingers on the table and said: "Then send someone to catch up with Merchant Creek, pay the captain, and throw McGonagall into the sea to feed the fish, Bryce As soon as I fall, I will have no opponents in Plymouth. Since McGonagall wants to be my opponent, let him go to the bottom of the sea to accompany the three of Brest!"

　　 Miller's eyes flashed with joy, and then said: "I will arrange for someone to go!" After that, Miller left like a gust of wind.
