The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin finally sent 5,000 reinforcements to England. Originally, he didn't want to send reinforcements, but an idea of ​​Edward made him change his mind.

It turned out that Edward thought that if all the main forces were sent out this time, then London might not be safe. why? Because Edward's throne was won back by bloody and violent means. The original Henry VII actually did a good job and was loved by the people. Therefore, Edward was able to defeat Henry VII and win the throne because of the violence lent by Marin. For this reason, he killed many people, especially those loyal nobles of Henry VII.

However, those great nobles who were killed at the beginning had a deep family background, and there must have been many fish that slipped through the net. It's just that because Marin left the Fourth and Fifth Legions in England, those people dared not move. But what if the strength of the City of London is empty? Edward believes that if London is empty, the remnants of those murdered noble families will surely jump out to rebel and seek revenge on themselves.

In fact, Edward hoped that those hidden enemies would come out. In this way, he can catch them all in one go. That way, he won't worry about it in the future.

Therefore, he intends to use this opportunity to deliberately create the illusion of "the city of London is empty" to lure the remnants of the enemies to jump out, so that they can catch them all, so as not to be frightened in the future.

As for how to make the illusion of "the city of London is empty"? Naturally, all the Fifth Legion of Sivager and the 10,000 Guards that Edward later recruited were sent to fight Scotland...

Of course, it is not true that the Fifth Army and the Guards are all sent out [comprehensive British and American] official mascots. Edward's plan was to secretly leave 5,000 elite members of the Fifth Army in ambush in the city of London, waiting for the remnants of the opposition to emerge, and then wipe them all out.

And how to keep the 5,000 Fifth Army elite? Of course, the 5,000 Fifth Army soldiers were secretly replaced. In this way, when the army marched out, it seemed that all 10,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army had left. In fact, half of the elite remained, waiting for the rebels to take the lead...

Originally, Edward planned to use 5,000 civilians to pretend to be soldiers of the Fifth Legion, replacing 5,000 elite soldiers. However, Edward suddenly thought of the great nobles who were killed by him at the beginning, and there are still many remnants of them. Maybe, there are remnants of them in those folk villages. Or, those associated with those remnants. If the news is leaked, those remnants will not dare to jump out.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Edward still felt that it would be better for Marin to send someone. Therefore, he sent a secret envoy to ask Marin to send troops to help.

However, Marin is busy sending troops to Italy now, how can there be extra soldiers and horses for Edward? Later, Edward's secret envoy was in a hurry, and casually said, "The militia is also fine"... Then, Marin thought of a way...

Yes, Marin intends to send 5,000 militiamen to replace the 5,000 people of the Fifth Army. It just so happened that Marin trained about 20,000 militiamen in order to prevent being beaten by princes. Originally, these militiamen were intended to assist in defending the city, but they never thought of using them as the main battle force. However, the level of training of these militias is not low. At least, no worse than the soldiers of Edward's 10,000 Guards Legion. After all, the instructors for those militiamen are all veterans under Marin.

Of course, those militiamen had never seen blood, so they were not elite, and they were not as elite as Sivager's Fifth Army Corps. However, their mission was to replace the veterans of Sivager's Fifth Legion, not to fight, so the requirements were not so high.

According to the results of the discussions between Edward's secret envoy and Marin, these 5,000 militiamen will take the merchant ship of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce and enter the Emperor of London I from the Thames River. King Edward would give ships a special exemption from inspection to avoid problems being inspected by the English Navy at the Thames Estuary. You know, there may be remnants of the Tudor dynasty in those English navies. Therefore, it cannot be known by others that soldiers and horses have entered London.

Then, a merchant ship carrying 5,000 militiamen,

In the middle of the night, they will stop at the Fifth Army Barracks in the west of London, enter the barracks at night, and complete the replacement of personnel.

Of course, the barracks of the Fifth Army on the west side of the city are large enough, and close to the Thames. Even if the 5,000 militiamen go in, they can live there. As for supplies, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce can quietly deliver more supplies through the dock. In this way, outsiders can't see the problem.

When it's time to dispatch troops, the 5,000 militiamen will replace the 5,000 veterans of the Fifth Army in the Northern Expedition. And the 5,000 Fifth Legion veterans continued to hide in the barracks. At the same time, the barracks will be closed, only a small number of guards will be kept, and outsiders will be prohibited from peeping into the barracks.

Since then, England officials no longer publicly provide food and grass supplies to the barracks. However, the ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce will provide food and grass to the 5,000 soldiers hiding in the barracks from the pier in the middle of the night. Of course, what was sent was processed food, and no fire was allowed in the barracks, so that no abnormalities could be seen from the outside. In this way, the 5,000 elite soldiers of the Fifth Army can be quietly hidden in the barracks without outsiders knowing.

As for the city of London, after all the guards set out for the Northern Expedition, Edward would specially select 5,000 recruits who had not received much training to garrison the city of London.

What combat power can a recruit egg have? Moreover, they still haven't trained much, and they are still stationed in London... All this, isn't it clear that they are giving the remnants of the Tudor dynasty a chance to do something?

That's right, Edward wanted to give those Tudor remnants a chance to rebel. In the Tower of London, he would leave only 500 reliable Custodians garrisoning the palace. Then, the rest of London was full of recruits.

In such a situation, it is estimated that the remnants of the Tudor dynasty will definitely be tempted. After all, Edward's 500 guards could fight at most in London. If the remnants of the Tudor dynasty united, it would be no problem to deal with the 500 guards in the Tower of London.

As for the 5,000 recruits, who cares? Even, Edward intends to deliberately let others recommend him to control the 5,000 recruits. Perhaps, there will be remnants of the Tudor dynasty taking the opportunity to sneak in and gain some military power. In this way, the other party's confidence is estimated to be even greater.

Moreover, in order to give those rebels enough confidence, Edward intends to select the most unbearable 5,000 recruits to garrison London. I am not afraid of your frustration, but I am afraid that you will not be frustrated. How can it attract those remnants of the Tudor dynasty to do it?

In addition, Edward will announce a wartime curfew policy, strictly prohibiting people from going out at night. In this way, it can also prevent the eyeliners of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty from finding out that someone is delivering supplies to the barracks on the Thames west of the city in the middle of the night.

During the day, the city of London is open to welcome visitors from all directions... In fact, it is to give the remnants of the Tudor dynasty a chance to sneak into the city of London...

As for how the 5,000 Fifth Army elite hidden in the camp west of the city entered the city to suppress the rebellion? This is very simple, just ask the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to prepare more merchant ships on the Thames.

Once a "rebellion" breaks out in London, the ships of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce will go to the Daying Wharf in the west of the city, load 5,000 elite veterans of the Fifth Legion, and then go down the river to the Royal Wharf of the Tower of London Palace. Enter the palace through the southwest gate facing the pier of the Tower of London Palace, and then pass through the palace to enter the city of London to suppress the rebellion...

(Note: The Tower of London Palace is just beside the Thames, and the palace wall is the city wall. You can also enter the city of London through the palace gate.)

5,000 elite veterans of hundreds of battles are enough to quell the rebellion of those remnants of the Tudor dynasty. After all, the elite of the Tudor dynasty had long since been wiped out in the previous war. For the rest, how can they beat 5,000 elite veterans?

Only when the remnants of the Tudor dynasty are wiped out can Edward really sleep peacefully...

And Marin also supported Edward's move. After all, he will take over England in the future. Edward cleans up the remnants of the Tudor dynasty, in fact, he is also helping him pave the way...
