In the eyes of the aristocracy, Henry, Earl of Northumberland. Percy was a very cultivated and polite young aristocrat. However, that was only when facing the nobility. In the face of civilians, Henry. Percy had a different face.

In the name of the bandits, Henry. Percy arrested many refugees on the charge of "gangsters" and then coerced them to go north. Therefore, the 20,000 homeless people in Leicestershire were basically captured by him.

However, Henry. Percy wasn't satisfied. After all, Northumberland is a large county of more than 5,000 square kilometers. Previously, there were only tens of thousands of people, and it was obviously underdeveloped.

You know, in this day and age, because there is no application machine. Therefore, agricultural activities are basically carried out by manpower. Therefore, to fully develop Northumberland, a large population is required.

Prior to this, successive Earls of Northumberland had not failed to find ways to solicit immigrants. However, Northumberland is located in the northernmost part of England, and is vulnerable to attacks from the Kingdom of Scotland in the north. So, there are very few people willing to move to Northumberland. The population of England is mainly concentrated in the southeastern counties near London.

But this time it was different, and then Richard. Bol's chance to be replaced, shrewd Henry. Percy saw a huge opportunity—there were hundreds of thousands of refugees in the central counties. If you bring them all to your own Northumberland, it will definitely greatly improve the development of Northumberland.

Today, Northumberland is dominated by sheep farming. In addition to the reasons for the popularity of wool, there is also the helplessness of labor shortage. After all, farming requires a lot of people.

So, Count of Northumberland, Henry. Percy desperately fought for the opportunity to become the manager. He planned to take advantage of this expedition to go north and make a lot of money. At the very least, to plunder enough labor......

With this idea, Henry. Percy naturally deliberately led the army along the chaotic Central Route instead of Richard. The western route that Pol intends to take.

In the name of the bandits, Henry. Percy sent an army to really suppress the bandits. But at the same time, he sent his trusted generals and soldiers to capture those displaced people from the north. As for the name of arresting people, it is naturally a "gangster". After being captured, the whole family took it away and went north with the army......

After clearing Leicestershire, Henry. Percy was surprised to find out - how did he arrest more than 10,000 homeless people? Didn't you say that there were hundreds of thousands of displaced people?

This is also Henry. Percy's intelligence lagged behind, and the number of hundreds of thousands of displaced people was fine, but that was the year before last. Because of the looting of food, most of the refugees in the northern counties naturally went south to beg for food or to find grass roots and tree bark to eat (the northern counties were eaten up). But since last year, many of the northern refugees who survived have chosen to return to their hometowns. After all, the bark and grass of the hometown have grown. Of course, it would be better if you could get some grain seeds to take back and plant......

In addition, Marin has also emigrated tens of thousands of people from among the refugees. As a result, only 50,000 or 60,000 refugees remain in the central counties. Moreover, many people have joined the bands of thieves.

In this case, Henry. Percy naturally couldn't catch any outcasts......

In desperation, Henry Percy suddenly came up with a plan - in order to take away enough people, he sent some cronies and officers, with his soldiers, disguised as thieves of the thief group, to rob the homes of local Leicestershire locals, and robbed the local farmers' homes to the point that they could not survive......

Then, Henry. Percy sent another group of men to appear as saviors, mobilizing these local hapless people who had lost everything to go to Northumberland in the north to "live a good life......

can't survive anymore, what can the local farmers who have been pitted do? I had to follow along. Subsequently, Henry. Percy relieved them of their limited amount of food, which had in fact been stolen from their home......

Relying on this obscene means, Henry. Percy took more than 10,000 people from Leicestershire, bringing the refugee contingent to 30,000.

Then, Henry. Percy was satisfied and continued north with his army. Because he didn't dare to offend Thomas, Earl of Derbyshire. Stanley, so Henry. Percy's army did not pass through Derbyshire, but went to Nottinghamshire, east of Derbyshire. And Nottinghamshire is also the entrenchment of the "Robin Hood Thieves......

The reason why Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire were chosen as the targets of "attack" is that Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire do not currently have lords, and they belong to "unowned" lands, and it will not be until the mid-to-late 16th century that an earl will be divided into these two counties. Even if you rob the population here, you can't offend anyone. Unlike Derbyshire, Thomas, Earl of Derbyshire. Stanley is too powerful, and he is the king's stepfather, and he can't afford to offend......

When Henry. When Percy led the army into Nottinghamshire, he inevitably ran into the "Robin Hood Thieves". However, before when Henry. When Percy's army was rampant in Leicestershire, the leaders of the "Robin Hood Thieves", Coster and Marić, asked Marin how to deal with it. After careful consideration, Marin decided to let the "Robin Hood Thieves" back down and avoid the edge for the time being......

It's not that the "Robin Hood Thieves" were afraid of Henry. Percy's army, after all, the "Robin Hood Thieves" can't defeat Henry. Percy, but hiding in the jungle, is safer.

It's just that Marin considered that he needed to fuel the arrogance of his opponent, so he let Koster and Marić take the initiative to back down.

The "Robin Hood Thieves", which had caused the king a headache for the troubled party, fled without a fight. How much has Percy's self-confidence risen?

Seven or eight thousand thieves chose to flee and inadvertently fuel Henry. Percy's arrogance. After all, the other party is a 27-year-old young man, so he can't be crazy?

Koster and Marić decisively chose to carry out Marin's orders, and after packing up with their men, they fled to the Pennine Mountains in the northwest to join Marin under the watchful eye of the British reconnaissance cavalry......

Of course, in order to make the "Deserted Escape" more realistic, the "Robin Hood Thieves" initially scattered and fled when they withdrew from Sherwood Forest. Except for the south, where the British army was located, there were thieves fleeing for their lives in the other three directions.

But the British scouts didn't know that thieves in all three directions would eventually run towards the mountains of the Pennines Mountains in the northwest, and at most they would go around in circles......

……

As Marlin expected, Henry, who was still plundering the population south of Nottinghamshire. Percy heard that the seven or eight thousand thieves of the Robin Hood Thieves in Sherwood Forest, north of Nottinghamshire, had scattered and fled after learning of his arrival. Percy's self-confidence exploded—Lao Tzu's reputation was so lethal...... Before they reached the north of Nottinghamshire, the thieves themselves ran away, and there were seven or eight thousand thieves!

So, Henry. Percy immediately wrote to Henry VII to report on his "remarkable achievements......

Henry VII and Thomas. Stanley was also a little confused - wasn't the leader of that group of thieves a French knight? Why don't you make trouble for the British army and dodge? Don't...... Is it because after learning the "bad news" that the main force of the French army was wiped out, he lost confidence? Well...... That's how it should be......
