Nor is it to blame Henry VII and Thomas. Stanley was afraid, because the army of 20,000 was almost the entire family of the Kingdom of England. To control this army is to control the life and death of the Kingdom of England.

If it's Richard. Pol had any hint of rebellion, Henry VII and Thomas. Stanley and the others will die without a place to be buried, and there is no place for the whole family to die.

When Qin Shi Huang handed over a total of 600,000 troops in the country to Wang Jian to destroy the Chu State, he was extremely worried, his face was gloomy, and his heart was afraid—because he had handed over all his family wealth to Wang Qian......

Wang Jian is a smart man and knows Ying Zheng's worries, so he shamelessly asks Ying Zheng to give him more fertile land and manors, with a posture of "Lao Tzu only needs money", which finally dispelled the doubts of the first emperor. And Bai Qi, another Qin god of war before Wang Qian, was suspicious because he didn't pay attention to King Qin's feelings, and finally couldn't escape death......

So, for a monarch, when he hands over his entire army to you, your glory and danger coexist. Because, the monarch will always worry that you will overthrow him with your army......

It is precisely because of this that Marin personally led the troops on every major battle. In addition to the fact that his own talent is indeed stronger than that of his subordinates, he is also worried that the army is all in the hands of his generals, which will bring danger to himself.

So, after the events of Edward's letters, whether Henry VII believed it or not, Richard. Pol, there will be a huge shadow in the heart. Unless he is willing to entrust all his life to Richard. Bol, otherwise, the general monarch will choose to change the commander. It's not about right or wrong, it's about human nature, and there's no solution......

Eventually, Richard. Bol, a close confidant of Henry VII, was removed from his post as commander of the 20,000 British army, and then arranged by Henry VII to be in charge of negotiating with the French. This time, the French not only sent a large amount of food and baggage, as well as artillery and other materials to England, but also 7,000 prisoners of war and more than 10,000 people were taken prisoner. Therefore, between the two sides, there is some pulling. Richard. Pol was appointed Provisional Foreign Secretary by Henry VII and was in charge of negotiations with France. Of course, in order to appease Richard . Pol, Henry VII rewarded him with a lot of money......

As for the new commander of the 20,000 British army, Henry VII consulted with the ministers for a long time, and finally decided - to make Henry, Earl of Northumberland. Percy {Henry Jr.} replaces Richard. Ball became the new commander-in-chief of the British army.

Originally, Henry VII also considered John Earl of Oxford. Morality. Willer and Thomas, son of Howard, Duke of Norfolk. Howard's. However, the Earl of Oxford, John. Morality. Weller was a capricious man, and Henry VII thanked him for supporting him as king in the first place. However, this man betrayed Richard III, and God knows if he would be bribed by Edward. And Thomas, the son of the Duke of Norfolk. Howard was fond of naval warfare and was not very proficient in land warfare. Therefore, Henry VII could only choose Henry, Earl of Northumberland. Percy – the 27-year-old 5th Earl of Northumberland is the head coach.

Henry. Percy's desire to fight was also strong, because his fief was in Northumberland, the northernmost part of England, but since the Scottish army sacked the northern counties the year before, he had not received taxes from his fiefdom for two years, which seriously affected his luxurious life in London. Only by defeating Edward and recovering the northern counties will he be able to regain taxes from large fiefdoms in Northumberland and maintain a decent aristocratic life.

Of course, its ability is okay. Although not as good as Richard. Pol, but the character is quite stable, not very prominent, but there are not too many shortcomings. Such a person, commanding 20,000 British troops, to clean up Edward's 10,000 horses, should not be much of a problem......

Moreover, Henry VII believed that after the crushing defeat of the French, the morale of the French soldiers under Edward, who had learned the news, must have suffered a serious blow. Because, the French plan to invade England went bankrupt...... Edward, on the other hand, relied mainly on French soldiers, so there was no reason for the 20,000 English soldiers with high morale to lose......

Henry, 5th Earl of Northumberland. Percy was also excited, after all, he was only 27 years old, and he was also leading the troops for the first time. Moreover, he commanded almost all the regular armies of the Kingdom of England (except for the Janissaries of London}. It was a glorious experience for the young Earl Henry...... Many years later, he also had the capital to boast to future generations - think that back then, your grandfather and I led the whole country to pacify tens of thousands of rebels......

Because the French brought the food and grass needed by ship for the army of 20,000, Henry VII was now not short of food. The grain and grass that had been burned outside Birmingham had been brought back from the hapless French. Moreover, there is a lot of surplus ......

Seeing that there was no sign of mutiny in the French army under Edward, Henry VII did not bother to wait any longer. So, after Henry VII imprisoned all the French prisoners and sent many sailors to guard them, all the officers and men of the army, the new commander Henry . Percy's leadership led a mighty attack on Yorkshire to the north......

Confident Henry. Percy, not in accordance with Richard. Bol's original plan was to go north from the west, but directly planned to push all the way north from the central and eastern counties that had been plagued by the "Robin Hood Thieves".

Although the elimination of Edward was the ultimate goal, Henry. Percy didn't mind destroying the so-called "Robin Hood Thieves" in the middle of the process, so as to restore order to the counties in the central and eastern parts of England, which had been in chaos. After all, if the "Robin Hood Thieves" were pacified, it would be a credit......

In fact, Henry. Percy led his army through several counties in the central and eastern regions, and he also had his own considerations. Because, as far as he knows, in the four central counties, there are more than 100,000 refugees who have fled from the north. Among them, there are an estimated 20,000 or 30,000 refugees from his Northumberland county.

This time passing through the four counties in the middle, Henry. In addition to wanting to destroy the "Robin Hood Thieves", Percy also wanted to capture a large number of homeless people in the four central counties {Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire}. After all, these displaced people are also laborers.

As long as more than 100,000 displaced people are carried along the way north, the population loss problem in Northumberland can be successfully replenished. There is even a lot to be made - after all, among these hundreds of thousands of refugees, there are many refugees from other counties. Moreover, there are very few refugees who have survived to the present day, old and weak, because most of them have died of famine......

It is absolutely wonderful to bring back so many able-bodied homeless people, given the sparsely populated nature of Northumberland......

Henry. The reason why Percy snatched the position of commander of the British army was to use the soldiers halfway to help him coerce and escort a large number of homeless people to his territory Northumberland. As long as you bring more than 100,000 people back to Northumberland, you will not only make up for the previous population loss, but also earn a lot of people back. As long as there is someone to help him farm and exploit him, he will not have to worry about running out of money to spend in the future...... Northumberland is not short of land, but it is short of labor......

The Great Army of the British Army at Henry. Percy led the way and soon entered Leicestershire. But after that, the British army began to look for bandits to beat them, and at the same time began to force a large number of homeless people to go north with the army......

Follow Henry. Percy's idea, he took more than 100,000 refugees with the army to the north, and after defeating Edward entrenched in Yorktown, he directly sent the hundreds of thousands of refugees carried by the army to Northumberland County, which borders the northern border with Yorkshire. With a little arrangement, he could return to London with Edward himself or his corpse to receive the reward - perfect for fighting and for personal gain......
