There were 1845 million Irish people on the island of Ireland in 850. Five years after the famine, there were less than 650 million people left, and the population continued to decline to nearly 500 million people.

Countless hungry people on the Emerald Isle searched for all the food they could eat, and even grass roots and bark disappeared wherever they passed.

At the same time, grain ships full of cattle, sheep and wheat set off from Ireland to the UK almost every week, and there were countless ships from the United States to the island of Great Britain.

But at this moment, the British government will deploy two-thirds of its troops on the island of Ireland to escort these life-saving food to prevent any hungry people from approaching.

The Irish were only allowed into the docks when the grain ships were leaving.

A large number of hungry people even fought against their compatriots in order to board the slave ship. Even so, they may be thrown into the sea by the slave traders. After all, they have so many choices that there is no need to feel sorry for them.

The men and women who come on board, they don't care where they go, as long as they get out of Ireland, out of their country, out of the land where they were born and raised
December 1844, 12, Christmas.

The Jennings family had a rare and happy Christmas, because just now Father Hans and Father Cloven knocked on the door of their house, sent their blessings, and also sent a grilled fish and a bottle of wine , and some beans and dried vegetables.

However, the two priests did not stay too long, but went to the next house with gifts.

But this does not hinder the good mood of their family. After all, even without the grilled fish and wine, they still have potatoes and homemade whiskey.

At this time, the Irish were not qualified to make wine privately, and they had to pay taxes to make wine, otherwise it would be an illegal act, so they didn't return the gift to the priests, because they didn't want people to get into unnecessary trouble.

Now that there are so many extra ingredients, the little ones will not be sleepy, clamoring for delicious food.Parents didn't want to spoil the children's interest, so they allowed them to eat openly.

The Janis family is considered to be a relatively wealthy Irishman on the Emerald Isle, but their family does not have enough to eat every day.

Such a luxurious day is even more rare, so the man took his wife's hand and danced the dance they danced when they were young. The brisk dance steps made them seem to return to the days of their youth.

The man picked up his wife and walked towards their room.

Skaha Jennings poured red wine to his younger siblings while his parents were not paying attention.A group of kids smacked their mouths and quickly wiped out a bottle of red wine, and they didn't feel the effects of the alcohol.

So at the instigation of his younger brothers and sisters, Skaha poured the bottle of whiskey for everyone to drink again.

Patritt had just finished attending a regular meeting of Young Ireland, and this was the time when his blood was running high, even the wind and snow could not suppress the blood in his heart.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw the scene of messy cups and plates. Skaha and her younger brothers and sisters were giggling under the bed, and the old dog in their family was screaming and almost being squeezed to death by several children. non-stop.

"What's going on with you? Are you bewitched!?" Patric was a little angry and confused, trying to pull a few people out of the bed.

It turned out that every time he pulled out one, the other grinned and crawled under the bed, when his parents heard the noise and rushed back.

"Patrick, what are you doing!" the father scolded angrily, because this eldest son is the most carefree guy, he knows to go to some "receptions" with a group of idlers all day long without doing business. Do you really think he is the same as the French?
People have wine and meat at their banquets, they have carriages when they go out, and they have guns on their bodies.And what about that so-called Young Ireland?Say it's a reception, but you can't even afford a bottle of wine, and you still want to fight the British and save the country?

The mother on the other side was more distressed about her son, half-kneeling beside Patritt to help him with a few "little troublemakers".

"Alcohol? How can you let them drink alcohol?" At this moment, the mother finally realized that something was wrong. There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from the little ghosts, which could explain their abnormal behavior.

"I didn't!" Patritt argued.

However, due to stereotypes, his parents felt that he did a good thing, and a meal of fried pork with belts was inevitable. Skaha on the side hiccupped while holding an empty wine bottle, and then fell into a deep sleep.

In fact, the entire Queen's Village, and even southern Ireland, enjoyed what Franz called "sending warmth".

Although these foods are nothing to Franz and the church, they are as warm as sunshine in winter to the excessively poor Irish.

At this time, most Irish people had an annual income of less than three pounds. Compared with them, the weavers of Silesia were considered a wealthy class.

Almost no one owns their own land, and most people's property does not exceed 30 pounds, while a poor horse pulling a cart costs 35 pounds in the same period.

But it may be their last good Christmas before the famine is over.

Almost at the same time, a rare blizzard hit Western Europe. Spain and France were the hardest hit areas, and farmers suffered heavy losses.

It's just that these have not attracted the attention of the government and financiers, and they are still celebrating one great victory after another.

The coalition forces of the Moroccans and Algerians were completely vulnerable to the French army, and the new-style Mines bombs and dense fortresses were the nemesis of the nomads.

The Sultan of Morocco, Abdul Rahman, has repeatedly sent people to France to seek peace, and the Algerian rebels are also split. The day when France fully occupies Northwest Africa seems to be approaching.

The French discovered a large number of resources in the newly acquired North American colonies. These fertile and flat lands are very easy to develop, and the development costs can be recovered in just ten years.

Louis-Philippe named the newly acquired land (Arizona and New Mexico) New Louisiana, as if to distinguish it from the old French colony of Louisiana.

But the top leaders in France know that there will be a new France on the North American continent in the future.

The titular Queen Isabel II of Spain is not a heavy tank of later generations at this time, but a young girl longing for love. She has completely inherited the beauty of her mother, Queen Regent Christiana, and the character of her father, the irascible King Fernando VII.

Although Isabel II has not yet ascended the throne, she often claims that she will execute all rebels and restore "tradition".

This is actually the influence of Sister Pethini, Father Clarite and her group. This group of conservatives instilled the so-called "orthodox" thinking into the Queen all day long, and made her believe that the "divine right of the king" is indeed the destiny.

In fact, Isabel II, like Carlos, is a puppet of Spanish conservative forces. Both of them believe in religion and have been pitted miserably by religious groups.

Under the guidance of extremely conservative thinking, Isabel II not only did not feel sorry for the people affected by the disaster, but also felt that it was a divine punishment, and they had to accept it, and even opposed any form of assistance to them.
