Chapter 705: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
In fact, the best player in London was Henry VII's 300 knights of the Guard. But unfortunately, when Henry VII escaped from the water with his family, he used the remaining more than 200 knights of the Guards as sailors, but was defeated by the sailors of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, which had much lower combat effectiveness.
These knights of the guards were not poor in force, but unsteady on the rocking deck of the ship. What does it mean to be unstable in the next game? It means to fall and then be captured or killed......
If more than 200 knights of the Guards defend the Tower of London, it is estimated that they will be able to hold on for a long time. Even a fierce man like Karn would not have been able to break through such a large group of England's best knights. But they were on the ship, and then they were all planted - about two hundred and sixty knights, more than sixty were killed on the spot, and more than 190 were defeated and captured......
In addition to the most elite three hundred knights, it is two thousand seven hundred regular infantry. Unfortunately, Henry VII scattered them at the four gates to supervise the sailors, and was unable to gather them together.
When the Tower of London was breached, there was no need for the scattered infantry to resist. And the more irregular sailors were even more reluctant to continue fighting if the king was captured. When they heard that the Tower of London had been breached, most of the defenders laid down their arms and surrendered, except for Richard. Bohr.
Richard. Bol guarded the east gate with 700 regular infantry and a large number of sailors, and when he learned that the Tower of London had been breached, his men lost their fighting spirit, and only he still resisted with hundreds of cronies.
It's a pity that the east gate was also blocked from the inside. Bol didn't even have a chance to escape. When Karn arrived with Marin's knights of the Guard, some were doomed...... Richard. Pol was knocked unconscious and carried away......
Then the whole city of London fell silent, with only sporadic resistance......
"What? This guy personally handed the poisoned wine to my sister? When he heard the captives say this, Edward broke out:
"I'm going to kill this bastard! My sister is his wife, and he actually sent my sister to death with his own hands! ”
With that, Edward drew his sword and was about to go to the makeshift prison to hack Richard to death. Bohr......
Marin hurriedly hugged Edward:
"Your Majesty, you are now the master of the Kingdom of England, you can't be impulsive!"
"But that guy killed my sister! That's my only brother and sister, and the sister who saved my life! Woo-" Edward cried bitterly at the thought of his sister who had given up her life to save her......
After crying for a while, Edward suddenly said with a fierce look on his face:
"I'm going to kill Richard, this bastard! And, that snitch Webb! By the way, where's that whistleblower Weber? Edward asked, carrying his sword.
Marin shook his head, and the others shook their heads...... In fact, that Webber had already escaped to the ship of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce by the sea under the cover of Marin's men. Covering Webb's departure was one of Marin's guards. The guard changed Webber into a soldier of the Marlin Army and a hat, and took him to the docks and boarded the ship of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce. It was a mess at the time, and no one noticed......
"Bastard! Actually let that guy run away! Search the vicinity of the palace and find out this traitor! Edward growled. But it was in vain, because Marin had already sent someone to send Weber away by boat. Marin was going to send Webb to America and change his name......
"If I can't catch Webb, then I'll kill Richard and Henry!" Edward said angrily.
"Your Majesty!" Marin said loudly:
"You are now the true king of a country, and you can no longer be willful. If you want to kill Henry and Richard, you have to pass a trial to kill them! ”
"Trial? Why? Edward was puzzled.
Marin Zhengsedao:
"When the country has a law, the people will be at ease. If the people are uneasy, they are likely to be instigated to rebel by those who have a heart. Therefore, Your Majesty, you must establish the law to make the society stable and the people to support it! ”
"The law is the rule of the country, and the people will be at peace......," Edward repeated Marin's words and fell into deep thought......
After a long time, when Edward came to his senses, he said gratefully:
"Grand Duke Marin, what you said is so good, you are such a genius!"
"It's not my idea, it's what my teacher, Albert Einstein......," Marin said casually. In fact, this is just the interpretation of "governing the country according to law" in later generations.
"Albert Einstein was a wise man!" Edward said with reverence.
"Actually, this is not what my teacher Albert Einstein came up with, but what he saw and heard in the Eastern Empire......" Marin decided to tell Edward a story......
"Oriental Experience?" Edward was curious.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let me tell you a story from more than 1,700 years ago......"
"Please!" Edward knew that Marin was probably talking about statecraft. Moreover, he was also interested in the Oriental insights of Master Einstein.
"The story I am talking about is called 'Three Chapters of the Covenant'......" Then, Ma Lin told Edward in detail the story of Han Gaozu's entry into Xianyang and the story of the "Three Chapters of the Covenant" with the father of Guanzhong......
"Through the 'Three Chapters of the Law', Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Empire, quickly won the trust of the people of Guanzhong. Later, he set the capital in the Guanzhong region, relying on the army composed of the local people, and conquered the world, and achieved a Han empire that was larger than that of Western Europe......"
Edward was fascinated by this, and as a king, he was most interested in the stories of these great emperors of antiquity:
"'The Three Chapters of the Covenant'...... Death of a murderer, injury and theft...... It's so easy...... Is the effect really that good? ”
"Of course, Your Majesty treats the people as human beings and is willing to protect them with the law, and they will be willing to be loyal to Your Majesty. There is a saying in the East: 'The king regards his ministers as siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy'...... 'The three chapters of the law' are simple, but they show that His Majesty cherishes the lives of the people, and they will be grateful for the ...... of obedience."
"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as enemies......" Edward muttered to himself. After a long time, he said:
"Oriental culture is so vast and profound! But......" Edward said abruptly:
"How do I kill Henry and his lackeys? According to the current law, there is no provision for their execution......"
"Then revise the law, but before that, you need to make three chapters of the law with the people to stabilize the society. Otherwise, if there is constant turmoil, you as a king shall not be at ease. ”
"Okay, I'm going to talk to the people of London City about the 'three chapters of the law', so that the people can settle down as soon as possible......"
