The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter One Thousand and Seven: Chaos in London
The City of London, these days, the 5,000 guards recruits who have taken over the defense of the city of London, do not know whether it is lack of experience, or someone's instruction, and they are very loose on the city defense.
These days, the flow of people entering and leaving London is a bit heavy, making many unfamiliar faces of middle-aged men appear in the city of London. Of course, none of them were armed. Although the recruits of the Imperial Guard seemed a little derelict in their duties, they still did not cross the red line, that is - it is strictly forbidden for anyone to bring weapons into the city.
In the basement of a dilapidated old house, there are still a group of men in black. What are they discussing:
"Hehe, Edward is really looking for death. He thought that it would be safe for people not to bring weapons into the city? In fact, London is our old base. How can there be no shortage of weapons in the city? By the way, everyone should have enough weapons, right? ?”
A group of men in black nodded one after another, and a man in black answered:
"Enough, Boss Jones. However, the number of spears is somewhat insufficient."
The man in black named Jones who sat in the main seat thought for a while and said:
"It's not a problem if you don't have enough spears. After all, we are fighting in the city. The spears are too long to be used in street fighting. It is better to use a sword. Of course, if you use a one-handed sword, it is best to equip some shields. Yes Do you have enough shields in your hands?"
"This... doesn't seem to be much..."
"Yeah, we didn't think about preparing shields before..."
...
"Forget it, let's play it by ear. By the way, have all the people in your hands entered the city? Boman, you counted this matter, how is it?"
The man in black named Boman replied:
"Most of them are here. There are only more than a hundred people who can't come back in time because they are too far away from London. Do we have to wait for them to arrive?"
"Only more than a hundred people didn't come? That means there are more than 4,000 people now?"
"Yes!"
"The number of people is almost the same...By the way, let me tell you a good news. The two leaders of the phalanx who were bought by us have expressed their willingness to cooperate with us. Even the leader of the first phalanx, Janus, also Take our money, willing to remain neutral!"
"Really? So, that is to say, we have 6,000 people on one side, while the other side only has 1,500 people? This is a sure win!"
"Yeah yeah!"
A group of men in black got excited...
It's just that they don't know that Janus, the leader of the first phalanx, is actually Edward's confidant. He promised to accept bribes from these men in black, and promised to be neutral, which was actually Edward's instruction. Its purpose is to encourage those remnants of the Tudor dynasty to take risks.
Sure enough, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty were tempted...
The leader of the man in black named Jones thought for a while and said:
"In the past few days, everyone secretly distributed weapons, and I sharpened the rusty swords. Three days later, at midnight, we launched the uprising on time. Remember, everyone gathered in the square of Westminster Abbey with weapons at midnight .Then, get in formation and head towards the Tower of London Palace..."
"Wait... Boss Jones, Westminster Abbey Cathedral Square is in the west of the city, while the Tower of London is in the southeast of the city, a bit far away..."
"Stupid? The enemy must be heavily guarded near the palace. Only on the west side of Westminster Abbey, their defenses will be more lax! Moreover, the area where Westminster Abbey is located was bought by us. The area under the jurisdiction of the Basque Commander, I can greet him and let him take advantage of his position so that we can concentrate our troops in the middle of the night!"
"Boss Jones is wise!"
...
Three nights later, before midnight, the remnants of the Tudors could not sleep. Of course, they got enough sleep during the day...
After the sky turned dark, many people in black held swords in various inconspicuous courtyards or basements, and began to wait patiently for orders...
At this time, several major events also happened in the Guards guarding London...
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? I am the commander of the Third Front of the New Army of the Imperial Guard.
How dare you commit the following offense? "
In the garrison barracks in the area where Westminster Abbey is located, several adjutants have held their phalanx leader hostage—a nobleman who looks very flamboyantly dressed, that is, the Basque leader who was bought by the remnants of the Tudor dynasty .
In fact, this guy is a second-generation idiot, ignorant and incompetent. Usually, his command of the army is also completed through several adjutants. On the surface, several of his adjutants are very obedient to him, and their abilities are also very good, which made him have the illusion that "these people obey me".
Then his lieutenants reined in him after he issued an order to "mind nothing that happened near Westminster Abbey at night". At the same time, several spies quietly left the barracks and headed towards the Tower of London... apparently to report...
Of course, with regard to what happened at Westminster Abbey, the people in the third party did carry out the order and chose to ignore it. why? Because to fight these rebels, we need to wait for them to gather together. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find if someone hid it too soon. If those rebels take off their black clothes and throw away their swords, can you tell that he is a rebel?
As for the other leader of the phalanx who was bought off—Nick, the leader of the fifth phalanx, he was also controlled by the adjutants after he gave the order "Don't sleep tonight, there may be something to do". However, this guy is more capable than Basque, and he also has some subordinates in the army. So, in order to avoid the suspicion of his cronies, Nick's lieutenants gave him a lot of strong drinks to make him look drunk. When Nick's cronies came to ask for evidence, what they saw was Nick, who smelled of alcohol and fell drunk on the bed...
"Didn't you say that you have something important to do tonight? Why are you drunk?" Several of Nick's cronies walked away with puzzled faces. Of course, when they left, they didn't see the eyes of the adjutants who watched them leave, as if they were looking at a dead person...
...
"What? Launch in the middle of the night tonight? Why is it so urgent? The information came too slowly!" Edward was also taken aback when he received the information. At this time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and it was only 3 hours before the enemy launched. But this can't be helped, because those remnants of the Tudor dynasty only sent someone to notify the two bribed legion commanders this evening. At the same time, Edward's confidant Janus also received the letter. Of course, the message Janus received was - "Please stand by tonight." Also, Janus was the last to receive the message. Because the other party doesn't trust Janus very much. Then, Janus also sent the news to the palace.
"Quickly, send someone to inform General Clichy in the camp west of the city!" Edward ordered immediately.
However, if you send someone to the camp on the west side of London at night, you must ride there on horseback. But the city of London is under curfew, if someone is sent to ride across the city of London, it will inevitably alarm the rebels. And if you take the waterway of the Thames River, it seems too slow... In the end, Janus, who guards the east gate, quietly opened the east gate, sent people to ride horses, circled from the east gate to the north of London City, and then rushed west all the way to the west of the city. Day camp report...
But when the envoy arrived at Daying in the west of the city, it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. At this time, men in black with swords were already gathered in Westminster Cathedral Square...
