My British Empire

Sir John forced a smile on his face, nodded to the few people who came to greet him, and remained motionless.

Among the big families present, his age and prestige are the biggest among the big families, and only he can bear it.

"Your Excellency, you are finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"

On the side, Sir Bergen Thomas with golden curly hair took a few steps, and the distance between Sir John and Sir John was getting closer. I saw a cautious and flattering expression on his face, and asked someone else what was on their minds.

"Our big families are in the same spirit, and we are going to London soon. I am not familiar with life, do you have any advice?"

With that said, Sir Thomas raised his head and looked at Sir John who looked calm in front of him with hopeful eyes.

The helmsmen of the other two families also raised their heads, and like Sir Thomas, their eyes focused on him expectantly.

No wonder they are like this. Once they leave Oxford, they will take off their protective clothing and show themselves naked in front of the nobles and London dignitaries. If they go without preparation, they will be the fat on the table. At the mercy of others.

Therefore, the other three families, who were full of worries, urgently needed a way to preserve their property.

Therefore, the first thing that came to their minds was the figure of Sir John. The three of them had no other choice but to turn to Sir John for help.

Seeing the patriarchs of the three major families plead so respectfully, Sir John felt a little comfort in his heart. The John family is still the head of the four major families, but this is far from enough.

The crack at the corner of Sir John's mouth was getting wider and wider. Under the sun, the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright and mysterious.

Silently thinking in his heart, such a position is not stable. After the other three families get over the difficulties, the position of the head of the John family will become history.

In this period of crisis and opportunity, securing one's own family in a leadership position is the top priority.

In the eyes of Sir Thomas and others, this Sir John, who is famous for his wisdom, had a smile on his face that made them uneasy, and he felt a little flustered in his heart.

However, when the family is overthrown, no matter how much profit is lost, there is still time to earn it back in the future.

The three gritted their teeth in their hearts, and when they were about to accept Sir John's series of unequal treaties, Sir John finally spoke.

"Everyone, this is not the time to talk, let's wait until we get on the boat!"

Sir John didn't say much, just glanced sideways at the nearby guards, and said mysteriously.

"Yes, this is indeed not a good place!" Sir Matthew knew that Sir John already had a plan in his mind when he heard that, and his nervous heart suddenly fell back, and he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

The others also understood Sir John's meaning, let go of their nervousness, and turned their eyes around. It is indeed inappropriate to discuss such an important matter in a large crowd, so they all nodded in agreement.

On the side, Ronaldo John saw his father surrounded by everyone, so he glanced at it, and then directed the servants to carry it to the boat that belonged to his family.

The other three hugged around Sir John, and they greeted each other cordially with an indescribable sense of intimacy.

The cold east wind blows slowly, with the chill of winter, greeting everyone cordially.

Sir John and the others were about to board the ship. At this moment, there were bursts of weeping in the distance, much stronger than that of the four major families.

Hearing the sound of crying, Sir John couldn't help but glanced at the unpretentious carriages, dragging their families, walking towards the convoy. The crying of women and children was endless, and even became more and more intense. direction.

But the guards from the assize court turned a deaf ear to it, watching with expressionless faces, not moving at all.

Seeing this, Sir John could not help frowning, and the crying and crying disturbed him.

Sir Matthew, who was watching his words, saw him like this, immediately raised his head, and explained in a pitiful tone: "Your Excellency, these are the other twenty-two small families that will be judged with us!"

"Although their goal is the same as ours, they are rushing to London, but their purpose is different from ours. We are London, but they are an island of Ireland full of barbarians!"

As soon as Sir Matthew finished speaking, several people, including Sir John, looked ugly, and they all felt the same way.

It was not because their families were powerful that His Majesty the King did not dare to go too far with them, otherwise, the same scene awaited them.

Being relocated to Ireland, they were worried about being attacked by the barbarians all day long, and it was in a barren state, lacking everything. They would rather go to Scotland than to go to Ireland.

With pitiful eyes, several people watched the group of sad people boarding the ship one after another, feeling inexplicably sad in their hearts.

"Everyone, if we don't unite, the final result will be nothing more than that, and it will be even more unbearable!"

After being silent for a while, Sir John took this opportunity to explain to everyone the scene they were about to face, and planted a nail in everyone's hearts, so as to have an advantage for the next negotiation.

Then, Sir John took a last look, led everyone to the room on the ship, and started an important discussion with several others.

On the other side, twenty-two small families whose destination was Ireland came to the banks of the Thames one after another, weeping and boarded the ship to London, and then waited for London's arrangement to go to the northern part of Ireland controlled by England for a generation.

Of course, Edward also knows that direct migration, if there is no benefit, anyone will have strong complaints.

In order to dissipate the strong resentment in their hearts, His Majesty the King allowed the claim to be reduced by half, and also sold part of the Irish land belonging to the royal family to them at half the price of the land in England, so as to comfort their wounded hearts.

That's why they walked onto the boat crying, instead of the army crushing them directly onto the boat. The difference between the two is huge.

Of course, they are only the first batch of people, not the last batch.

After more than three hours of deliberation, the four major families finally reached a consensus. First, the leadership of the John family was determined (Note: Established without infringing on the interests of other families).

Afterwards, there was a series of marriages and exchange of interests, and the alliance of the four major families was established with interests as the link.

Of course, because of the combination of interests, this alliance will definitely be dissolved because of interests. This is the result sooner or later.

Sir John knew, too, that, unlike the others, he believed that coming to London, with its dangers, also came with its opportunities.

If you lead this alliance, then the interests of the John family can be maximized.
