The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 985 Calculation

In fact, these men in black didn't know that the officers of the 5,000 recruits were the flaws that Edward deliberately sold. The regiment commander of this recruit, Edward has found a cronies. However, under the command of the five phalanxes below, Edward deliberately found four people with big flaws.

What does it mean to have a big flaw? It is the kind of nobleman who is not loyal enough to Edward and is more greedy. Except for the trustworthy leader of the first phalanx directly under the army commander, the leaders of the other four phalanxes of thousands of people are all ignorant, incompetent, and extremely greedy dandy aristocrats.

And the four phalanx leaders were all bait cast by Edward to lure the remnants of the Tudor dynasty to buy them. Because, only if the remnants of the Tudor dynasty bought two or three phalanx leaders, the other party would dare to take risks. Otherwise, 5000 recruits would not be so easy to deal with. Because, in the hands of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty, there is also a lack of well-trained veterans.

Most of these remnants of the Tudor Dynasty are the blood blade of the Tang Dynasty, an underground force controlled by the great nobles of the Tudor Dynasty. Its controllers are either diehard loyalists of those great aristocratic families, or they are simply offshoots or illegitimate children of the great nobles. For example, the leader of the man in black named Jones was an illegitimate son of Henry VII's stepfather Thomas Stanley.

Therefore, most of these people in black are good at intrigue and secret confrontation. However, there is no one who is proficient in training and fighting. After all, the members of the noble families who were proficient in training and fighting had already been sent to Henry VII's army. Then, with the defeat of Henry VII, he was either killed in action or killed afterwards.

Therefore, among these remnants of the Tudor dynasty, there are those who are proficient in assassination, some who are proficient in scouting, some who are proficient in business, and some who are proficient in extortion...but there are not those who are proficient in training soldiers and fighting...

However, these underground forces controlled by the great noble families are very good at hiding in the shadows. Therefore, even if Edward eliminated the Tudor dynasty, he could not eliminate the underground forces of these original nobles. Because they are good at hiding under the Nine Grounds.

And in terms of combat effectiveness, even the New England Legion recruited by Edward imitating the Fifth Legion, with the same number of people, can beat those remnants of the Tudor Dynasty out. There is no way, people who specialize in surgery and are good at gangsters are really not opponents of the regular army. Although the New England Legion could not defeat the Fifth Legion, it was light to deal with the mobs like the remnants of the Tudor Dynasty.

But don't underestimate the method of military training. In later generations, because there are a lot of information available on the Internet, any netizen can find some information about military training. In ancient times, let alone military training knowledge, even a small number of people could read and write.

Generally speaking, military training methods are monopolized by military aristocratic families and passed down from generation to generation. Naturally, those noble families have inherited the method of military training. However, these precious military knowledge, even in great aristocratic families, are generally only taught to the core children so that they can serve the king. And those who control the underground dark forces, if they are servants, they cannot be qualified to learn military command knowledge, and it is useless to be loyal. As for collateral children or illegitimate children, their status is not much better than that of servants, and they are not qualified to learn military knowledge. Because their origins doomed them to not be able to obtain the opportunity to serve as military officers, then, what military knowledge should they bother to learn?

Therefore, it is estimated that there are more than 4,000 strong survivors of the Tudor dynasty, but there is a serious shortage of martial arts masters who can train soldiers. Otherwise, based on their hatred for Edward's York Dynasty, they would have gathered soldiers and horses to rebel.

But they were too good at hiding. After Edward ascended the throne, he didn't catch several members of the underground forces of the Tudor noble families. After all, people's ability to survive in the dark is much better than ordinary people.

That's why Edward planned this time—to use himself as a bait to lure those remnants of the Tudor dynasty to attack him. In this way, the enemies are all revealed, and it's like killing them all in one go...

To know,

Because of the existence of these remnants of the Tudor dynasty, Edward is also frightened now, for fear of being murdered by these people. After all, although these people are not good at fighting, they are good at assassination. Fortunately, Edward has also learned to master it now, and he is always surrounded by a group of strong "human shields" wearing breastplate armor. Even if there were assassins, they couldn't easily hurt Edward.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. Because of the existence of these people, Edward did not dare to go out of the palace without wearing plate armor now, so as not to encounter accidents.

In order to deal with these remnants of the Tudor dynasty, Edward deliberately transferred all the elites away, leaving only a newly recruited 5,000-member army as the guard force of the city of London.

Moreover, it seems that in order to facilitate the enemy's wooing, except that the 1,000-man phalanx is located in the southeast corner of London City, close to the Tower of London in the southeast of the old city of London, Edward specially released the bait for the other 4 thousand-man phalanxes. Attract those Tudor remnants to buy.

As a result, it was as expected by Edward. Seeing that 4 of the 5 commanders of the phalanx with thousands of people had flaws in their bodies, those remnants of the Tudor dynasty took action decisively...

After all, these people originally controlled the underground forces of the top families in England, so they naturally had no shortage of money. Because, those big nobles are old foxes with "sly rabbits and three caves", and they must know how to hide some black money. Moreover, if you want to get rich, the fastest way to get money is from black ways. And it is these underground forces who master the dark ways. Therefore, even after the downfall of the main family, these underground forces did not perish within a short period of time. Because, relying on their previous savings, they can still support the interstellar mage profession for a few years.

In addition, because Edward massacred the great nobles of the Tudor dynasty, there will be a great power vacuum in England for more than ten years. In many places, the transfer of power will take at least several years to truly complete the reshuffle.

Therefore, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty can still be chic for a few more years. At least for the time being, the underground will maintain the status quo until England completes its power shake-up.

But those remnants of the Tudor dynasty are also very clear that once England completes the big reshuffle on the bright side, those upstarts who have benefited will stretch their black hands underground. And this buffer period, at most a few years. Once those upstarts gained a firm foothold, they, the remnants of the original Tudor dynasty, would lose their financial resources and the foundation of their survival.

Therefore, Jones and a group of remnants of the Tudor dynasty are anxious to do something. In addition to the hatred of the family, there are also factors of their own interests.

Because all the nobles of the main families of their families were killed, and they, the illegitimate children or collateral branches who controlled the underground forces, became the surviving blood instead. Although illegitimate children have no inheritance rights, what if they take advantage of this great opportunity to succeed in rebellion and welcome back Henry VII's daughter, Princess Margaret?

At that time, as long as the rebellion succeeds, they will become the biggest contributors to the Tudor dynasty. Even if he is an illegitimate child, he may be able to obtain the right to inherit the title due to his meritorious service. Just like Thomas Stanley at the beginning, because he supported Henry VII's rebellion, he was finally promoted from baron to Earl of Derbyshire. Sir Richard Pole, on the other hand, married Princess Margaret, and his son became the heir to the Earl of Salisbury...

...

However, it seems that these remnants of the Tudor dynasty were lucky. Edward deliberately released four unreliable phalanx leaders, but they only bought two...

Moreover, what they didn't know was that the adjutants of the four unreliable phalanx leaders were all cronies placed by Edward. Of course, the four commanders themselves did not know. And those two unlucky leaders of the bribed phalanx didn't know that their every move had been monitored by Edward's people. Once they give the army an order to rebel, they may be stabbed in the back by their subordinates...
