The Rise of the European Emperor

In Chester and Lancashire in northwest England, Edward's army of 10,000 swept and looted these two pro-Lancaster counties. --All support and aid of Henry VII to these two "Basic" counties sacked by Scotland was intercepted by Edward.

Of course, Edward was not a fool either. He did not exploit those serfs, but 'specially' dealt with the local nobles. Because these nobles are almost all Lancastrians, it's not wrong to fix them. Moreover, the wealth of this era is mainly concentrated in the hands of the nobles. If the nobles are rectified, they will get wealth.

While Edward was clearing the two Lancastrian counties, Marin was leisurely hunting in the Northumberland woods with a group of his men. Anyway, in a short period of time, his army could not be displayed in front of the world.

However, what made Marin depressed was that he took a large group of people and traveled all over the mountains and forests, but he didn't hit a few prey, especially the larger prey like a deer. In the end, Marin and his hunting team only caught a dozen rabbits and a few wild boars.

When I asked a local guide, I realized that the mountains and forests here were basically emptied by the locals. Because England advocates 'shooting' for all people, there are many folk hunting masters. After all, as long as the arrow is good, hunting is easy. Therefore, the deer and even the wild wolves in the forest were killed very cleanly.

There are only wild boars. Because the skin is too thick, it is difficult for bows and arrows to 'shoot' through them, so ordinary people dare not provoke them, but there are many more. There are also hares, because the target is small, it is difficult to "shoot". Coupled with the rapid breeding of rabbits, there are still some that can be hunted.

Marin's hunting team, all of them are spring-fired rifles of 'color', and those they bring to the hunt are all people with good marksmanship. Therefore, for wild boars, the hunting team is not afraid at all. Among the few wild boars that were hunted, two majestic male wild boars had launched a decisive charge. But in the middle of the charge, it was beaten into a sieve by the intensive gunfire... but the consequence was - the wild boar's skin was broken...

However, Marin was not a real hunter, so he naturally didn't care about boar skins, he just enjoyed the fun of hunting. Therefore, if the skin of the wild boar is damaged, he does not care, as long as he can eat the 'meat' of the wild boar.

As for the hares that were hunted, Marin was actually speechless. Because, there was a hare that they didn't kill, but pretended to be dead on a tree. Fearing the sound of the gunshots, the unlucky rabbit panicked and lost his balance. After a jump, his head slammed into a big tree, and was directly knocked out by the big tree... Moreover, Marin saw it with his own eyes. . So, quite speechless...

...

Just as Marin was leisurely hunting in the mountains, Henry VII's intelligence officers also reported the size and whereabouts of Edward's army to Henry VII.

"10,000 people... not in a hurry to go south, but to go north to Lancashire to loot..." Henry VII fell into thought.

Lancashire was of great significance to Henry VII. Because, there is "the land of Longxing". After all, Henry VII called himself the representative of the Lancastrian dynasty.

But in fact, Henry VII was only a relative of the Lancaster family, and was born in Wales and grew up in the Duchy of Brittany, France.

However, many of Henry VII's supporters were from Lancashire. After all, the main support group for him to ascend to the throne is the Lancastrian nobles. Of course, there are also defected Yorkite nobles.

However, most of the Lancastrian nobles moved to prosperous London after Henry VII became king. Those who remained in Lancashire were mostly unappreciated Lancastrian nobles, or offshoots who stayed in their homeland.

Now, Edward led the army to loot Lancashire, which must have harmed the interests of the Lancastrian nobles. After all, their "seven aunts and eight aunts" and other poor relatives are still staying in Lancashire. Even many people's fiefs are still there.

Therefore, now that Edward sacked Lancashire, those Lancastrian nobles who came from Lancashire would definitely put pressure on Henry VII to send troops to recover Lancashire.

However, Henry VII did not intend to do that...

Because, Henry VII felt, Edward's behavior was abnormal. As a contender for the throne, shouldn't it be actively heading south to attack London? But Edward went to Lancashire to make trouble, obviously to force him to send troops... After all, Lancashire was attacked, and the nobles of the Lancaster faction must be anxious, and then urged him to send troops to suppress...

Thinking of this, plus the information obtained before, Henry VII is even more certain - Edward is attracting his attention, so that he can relax his vigilance against France. If the army goes north to attack Edward, and the French suddenly land and besiege London, it will be finished...

In the end, Henry VII decided to ignore Edward for the time being, and then go to Edward after finishing France...

But Edward didn't seem to be happy with Henry VII doing this. Just when Henry VII was focusing on dealing with France, Edward publicly released a crusade against Henry VII...

"Pseudo-King Henry was born in a branch of the Lancaster family. However, at the beginning, His Majesty Henry IV had announced that his half-brother John Beaufort, Duke of Lancaster, and his descendants had no right to inherit the throne. What's more, the pseudo-king Henry is a collateral branch of the Lancaster faction. Even the main line has no right to inherit the throne, let alone a branch? Therefore, the pseudo-king Henry has no right to inherit the throne. His enthronement belongs to arrogance, is illegal."

"What's more serious is that in the Battle of Bosworth, the false king Henry, together with his stepfather Thomas Stanley and other rebels, committed monarchy and rebelled, and committed the crime of death. Those who committed the crime of killing the monarch, is not entitled to the throne, not even if he married Princess Elizabeth. For, after Henry's descendants belong to sinners, they are born sinful..."

"Pseudo-King Henry has always insisted that His Majesty Richard III ascended the throne by killing the monarch. However, it has been 20 years since he ascended the throne, but he has not yet found evidence that His Majesty Richard III killed the monarch. Therefore, his claim is untenable. , is also illegal."

"The great kingdom of England follows the rule of law, and without evidence, it cannot be convicted. Without the evidence of His Majesty Richard III's murder of the monarch, rashly dispatching troops to rebel 'rebellion' is inherently heinous. Therefore, the false king Henry, only A real kingslayer..."

"As the rightful heir to the throne of Richard III, I declare the succession to the throne of England as Edward VI. Now, in the name of the rightful king, I declare the false king Henry and his wicked follower 'The Door' as monarchs should be punished by the law…”

"But out of devotion to God and reverence for the law, I will not kill this false king at will. Because only killing through judgment is legal and in line with God's will. Therefore, I captured After London, the false king and his accomplices will be tried before the palace. Then, in the name of God, the false king and his accomplices will be divided by hanging, and the law will be upheld to maintain the justice of the kingdom..."

...

This oath was written in a righteous and awe-inspiring, well-founded manner, and it really makes people unable to pick out any 'problems'. Moreover, its rhetoric to uphold the law can arouse people's approval.

For example, Henry IV declared that John Beaufort and his descendants had no right of inheritance, which is well known. Therefore, legally speaking, Henry VII, who is a descendant of John Beaufort and a descendant of a side branch, is indeed not eligible to inherit the throne. It's just that Henry VII and his supporters deliberately avoided this issue.

Now, this article turns this matter out, and it can definitely cause the public to question the succession of Henry VII to the throne.

It has been 20 years since Henry VII succeeded to the throne, but no evidence has been found of Richard III's monarchy. From the legal perspective, it has been determined that the rebellion of Henry VII and his followers was illegal. . And if it can't be proved that Richard III killed the king, then Henry VII and his followers are the real kingslayers, and belong to the people who deserve to be executed...

...

Such a reasonable and well-founded essay is naturally not something that a mediocre person like Edward, who has been imprisoned for more than ten years, can write, but from our transmigrator, Mr. Malin...

Because there was really no prey in the forests of Northumberland, when he was bored, Malin suddenly remembered that the eighteen princes in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" attacked Dong Zhuo, and it seemed that Chen Lin, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, first wrote After discussing Dong Zhuo's writings in a very literary manner, he published them all over the world to prove his legitimacy and his demands for justice, and even made Dong Zhuo angry...

Therefore, Marin also tried to help Edward write a "Worship of Henry (Profit)" and sent it to Edward to publish it to seek support from the people and European countries. At the same time, a further blow to Henry VII's fame...

After Edward received Marin's "Writing for Henry (Lee)", he couldn't put it down after reading it, and he knew that this letter was indeed powerful, so he immediately organized the transcription, and then sent people to post it everywhere...
