The Rise of the European Emperor
Chapter 1015 The second major cleaning
As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, but the fighting in London did not stop at all. General Clichy and his 5,000 regular army are rummaging through every corner of London, looking for every Tudor remnant dressed in black and holding a blade.
Even the Guards recruits of the first and second phalanxes who had been crippled were in high spirits in the city of London at this time, entering every alley, searching every house, looking for all suspicious objects.
Although it is said that these Guards recruits can't beat those men in black and swordsmen. However, this time things are different. In order to escape, the men in black had already fled in all directions, and had lost their fighting spirit. Therefore, even the new recruits of the Guards of the weak chickens dare to arrest them. At most, a few people hunt down one or two people. That way, it won't come as a surprise.
As for Commander Janus, who had been injured in many places, he was even more diligent at this time, searching for any suspicious people. Originally, his subordinates persuaded him to go for treatment. But Janus knew that his previous performance was mediocre. At this time, he must work hard to catch the fugitive, so that Edward can make a better impression on him. Moreover, the injuries he suffered before were not fatal, at most a little painful. What's more, if you insist on catching the fugitive with blood all over your body, and then go to Edward to return to life, it will leave a better impression on Edward...
...
As for King Edward, whom Janus wanted to please, sitting on the throne in the Royal Palace of the Tower of London at this time, he was also soothing his mood.
Earlier, Edward was very nervous when the screams of killing sounded on Great Tower Street in the middle of the night. Even Edward once wanted to take his wife and daughter out of the South Gate to escape from the Thames by boat. In this regard, Edward and Jones have similar backhands.
However, Jones and others fled to France. And Edward, if he wanted to escape, he didn't have to run so far, he just needed to take refuge in the camp in the west of the city. Or, go to Newcastle. After all, his army has not disappeared. As long as there is an army, it is relatively easy to fight back to London.
After calming down, Edward's eyes shone with a dazzling light. He called the herald and ordered:
"Send my order that all the middle-aged men in the city of London must be examined. Any foreigner who has no identity proof should be imprisoned first. If the identity and motive can be found out later, they can be released. And those who cannot be found out will be executed!"
"Yes!"
"Also, the local strong men in the city of London will also check their bodies to see if they have stab wounds. If there are stab wounds, they will all be imprisoned and interrogated to find out the reason and see if they are those underworld members who participated in the rebellion!"
"Yes!"
After a pause, Edward continued:
"I remember Marin said that people who use knives often have calluses on their tiger's mouth, which is a symbol of frequent use of weapons... Well, that's not right, those blacksmiths also have calluses on their tiger's mouth... Well, anyone who sees a tiger's mouth grows Strong men with cocoons, arrest them first and find out the reason! If you can't explain the origin, kill!"
"clear!"
...
With the issuance of these orders, the City of London once again set off a bloody storm.
Unlike the first major purge before, this time all ordinary middle-aged men are subject to scrutiny. Any suspicious person with wounds on his body or with a cocoon on his mouth is all within the scope of investigation. Even several foreign embassies were searched.
Then, none of the foreign swordsmen who fled for their lives in a foolish manner were easily rounded up and captured. These people were unfamiliar with London in the first place. After the defeat, they roamed around the city like headless flies, and it was easy to fall into the circle of soldiers of the Fifth Legion or recruits of the Praetorian Guard.
At this time, even the gangsters from the third-party formation, who were originally very cowardly, came out to help arrest them. The scattered soldiers of the Fourth and Fifth Corps also regrouped to participate in the capture.
Although it is said that after this battle, the poor performance of the third, fourth and fifth phalanx of the Praetorian Guards recruits will definitely be dismissed, but before they are dismissed, they can take some credit.
King Edward would not treat them badly.
Edward had promised—if they behaved well, these people could get a certain reward. If you perform well, you can even go to the local area as a patrol. Patrol may be a P in London. But in the local area, the patrolling is a ruthless character who can make a fortune on the streets, and is better than the urban management of later generations. This position is actually a combination of later generations of police and urban management, and it is quite arrogant in the local area. Therefore, for such a position, those bastards are considered to be fighting. The cowardice of the previous war was suddenly gone, and it was very hard to catch people.
Edward suddenly regretted that he had given them this promise in advance. That way, the gangster recruits might do better.
But thinking about it, this is unrealistic. Because, by promising to do so in advance, Edward was telling the new Praetorian guards that they were a pretense. Had the news been known to the intelligence agents of the Tudor remnants, the enemy might have backed away.
Janus's hard work has finally paid off - given that he was desperate in the battle to stop the enemy from attacking the Tower of London Palace, and then worked hard to capture fugitives, he finally got the knighthood that he wished, and a fief of the manor. . Although there are only 600 acres of fiefs, it is incomparable with the 1,500 acres of large-scale fiefs of the French knights, and it cannot catch up with the thousands of acres of fiefs of the German knights. However, this made Janus' family, from a commoner family without a surname, suddenly stepped into the ranks of nobles. In the future, as long as his children practice martial arts well and learn formal military knowledge, they will have the opportunity to serve in the army and serve as officers in the future. His family has the foundation for its rise...
...
Edward's indiscriminate arrest order put everyone in London at risk. Originally, more than 3,000 men in black had escaped, but as a result, more than 2,000 strong-aged men were brought back.
What made Meitner, the head of the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, dumbfounded—the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce was also recruited this time...
The spies of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce were also arrested 30 people during this arrest. These people were originally the backbone of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce lurking in the city of London, responsible for inquiring about London news. As a result, because there were calluses on the tiger's mouth on the hand, or there was a sword wound on the body, he was accidentally caught.
Meitner had no choice but to ask Edward in person to explain their identities...
"Huh? Are they from your country? In the household registration information, they are all from England..." Edward was a little puzzled. At the same time, there is some vigilance - why did Marin put so many eyes and ears in London? what does he want to do...
Fortunately, Meitner was already prepared. In between, he took out a roster, dedicated it to Edward, and explained:
"Your Majesty, since the fall of the Tudor Dynasty, we have also been helping to inquire about the remnants of the Tudor Dynasty. Therefore, we hired these English natives as temporary workers to help us inquire about the news. After all, the locals inquired about the news, more than the rest of us. It's more convenient for foreigners. You see, this is the list of Tudor remnants we have found out..."
"Temporary worker..." If Marin was here, he probably couldn't help laughing. Because, the word "temporary worker" is a special title for "back pot man"...
In fact, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce has hundreds of agents in London. It's just that these 30 people didn't hide well, and they happened to be caught. There are more than 60 people, because they are well hidden, they have not been discovered. There are even several North Sea Chamber of Commerce spies lurking in the Royal Palace of the Tower of London.
It is not easy for the Beihai Chamber of Commerce to cultivate a few spies, and Meitner is reluctant to bear those spies. He intends to bring those thirty people back, and then arrange another job.
They couldn't stay in the City of London, they were all recognized. So, it's time to send them elsewhere in England. Coincidentally, another group of spies came to London from elsewhere in England.
However, this time, Edward found more than 30 secret agents, and it was not worth it. Because, Edward will definitely be on guard against Marlin...
...
As for the other 6,000 people who were arrested, Edward was not polite. Regardless of your innocence, serve with a whip first. Even if you are innocent, you will be served with a severe punishment. And the murderous officials also tried to find useful clues from these populations as the capital of their promotion...
Not to mention, there are really people who confessed because they couldn't stand torture. But there are also many people who give up and are forced to admit that there is a problem. Then, those who pleaded guilty were sent to the execution ground. During Edward's reign, England's second bloody purge began...
