By the time Marin was hiding in Rome to write his dissertation, the northern part of England was already in chaos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Following Marin's suggestion, the Scottish army withdrew north in two parts. But before retreating north, the Scottish army stole all the grain along the way, destroyed all the crops, and killed all the livestock, even the janitor's dogs, which were made into jerky.

In this way, the Scottish army went north with plenty of food, and the people of the northern counties of England were in bad luck. Their belongings and food were plundered by the Scottish army, and all their crops were destroyed, and even their cattle were killed.

When the Scottish army first withdrew, it was fine, after all, everyone could still find grass roots, bark, dead leaves, and other things to eat. In addition, the offal and leather left behind by the Scots when they killed all their livestock could also be cooked and eaten.

However, after all this food was eaten, the local people felt that they were going to die......

So, while there was still strength and experience, people began to drag their families and families, flee the famine, and beg all the way to find a way to survive.

In ancient times, because of low grain production, once there was a natural disaster in a certain year, some poor peasant households would have to flee the famine and go to those areas where there was no famine to beg to survive the disaster year. Whether it is China or Europe, it is a very normal phenomenon.

Of course, there is a premise for this - that is, these peasants must be freedmen......

If you are a serf, you can't run away at will. Because, when they left their homes, they had to obtain the consent of the serf owners. But by the 15th century, serfdom in England and France had largely collapsed, and most of the peasants had become yeoman farmers. At the same time, serfdom was still generally preserved in Germany. It was not until the 19th century that Prussia began to reform serfdom.

Because they were yeoman farmers, the British peasants were free to flee. When the British army completed the sweep of the area controlled by the Earl of Edward in eastern Ireland and managed to land on the west coast of England, they saw the extremely depressed counties of northern England.

Upon inquiry, the commander of the British army, Richard . Pol was taken aback. It turned out that the Scottish army had adopted a similar strategy to the northern counties of England as the British army had used to parts of eastern Ireland. In this way, Richard. Pol's scalp went numb.

For they will pass through the famine-ridden northern counties......

Sure enough, during the march along the way, in the middle of the night, local youths often risked their lives to steal food from the British army......

You know, that's military rations! Moreover, it is still military rations stacked in the barracks, not military rations transported halfway!

So, those hungry young people are basically gambling with their lives to steal food. Richard. Pol was initially furious, executing some of the local youths who had come to steal the rations and hanging their bodies outside the barracks.

But what is this threat compared to the fear of starvation? Anyway, if there is no food, they will starve to death......

In addition, there were a large number of old and weak, gathered outside the barracks, begging the British soldiers to give them some food......

Many of the soldiers who had originally come from the local area were immediately moved, especially some of the English longbowmen from the northern counties, who were completely stunned by this tragic situation. They began to trade the food they had saved for news. Mainly, to find out the news of their relatives.

In the group of refugees outside the camp, many English longbowmen spotted some familiar faces. Even, there were a few longbowmen, and they also met their families who were fleeing the famine.

Richard. Pol had intended to drive the refugees away, but was met with strong resistance from more than 800 longbowmen in the northern counties, and almost caused a mutiny. These soldiers from the northern counties did not want to see their fathers and villagers starving to death in front of them.

Soldiers from other regions, although they did not openly resist, were close to each other and supported the help of the refugees from the northern counties.

In fact, there were not only more than 800 longbowmen from the northern counties, but also dozens of knights. However, the knights were nobles, and the commoners were not all the way. So, for those people who fled, the knights didn't care too much, they only cared about their own families.

But those longbowmen were different, they were a special class in England, they did not belong to the nobility, but because of their fighting power, the state gave certain privileges, making them a class between the nobility and the commoners. But at the end of the day, they come from the common people. Therefore, they are still very concerned about their parents and fellow villagers.

Longbowmen from other regions also supported relief for those refugees. After all, no one can guarantee that their hometown fathers will never be affected by disasters.

Under pressure from the longbowmen class, Richard. Pol had to make a compromise. Anyway, they stole all the food and killed all the livestock in the area controlled by Earl Edward on the island of Ireland. Therefore, they have a lot of grain and jerky.

So, Richard. Pol took out some of the food and jerky and relieved some of the refugees outside the camp......

However, unexpectedly, because of this move, the news that "there is food in the barracks and the officers are willing to help the refugees" began to spread among the refugees.

Then, let Richard. Pol's horror was a scene - in a few days, 50,000 or 60,000 refugees surrounded Richard. Bol's battalion made it completely impossible for the British to go north to pursue the Scottish army.

And if we don't continue to help the refugees, it may cause the refugees to anger and cause them to storm the barracks......

Thinking of such terrible consequences, Richard. Pol began to regret his efforts to help the refugees. However, now he is also difficult to ride a tiger. Moreover, he has no idea of going north. Because, on the way north, he will meet more refugees......

In desperation, Richard. In the middle of the night, Bol had to quietly ask his soldiers to quietly bring the rest of the food, and suddenly left the barracks and hurriedly withdrew south, intending to go to the area that had not been destroyed by the Scottish army, so as to avoid the army being surrounded by refugees.

When the refugees learned that the army had suddenly fled, they also ran south. In this way, a spectacle appeared in the north of England - Richard. Bol fled south in a hurry with the 1.8 play British troops. However, it was not because he was being chased by enemy troops, but by tens of thousands of refugees......

When the news reached London, the government and the opposition were shocked. And Henry VII and his ministers also felt numb in their scalps for the more than 300,000 refugees in the northern counties, and they didn't know what to do.

For these 300,000 refugees, the English court was not able to provide relief. However, if left unchecked, it is also prone to big problems. Therefore, the English court was in a dilemma.

In fact, if it were only tens of thousands of refugees, the English court might have directly sent troops to arrest and suppress them. Even, it is not impossible to slaughter it, as long as it is done in a hidden place. But that's more than 300,000 people, more than a tenth of England's current population. So, violent means will not work. If you dare to suppress the massacre casually, it may cause dissatisfaction and even riots throughout the country.

Henry VII consulted with the Manchu civil and military forces for several days, but could not come up with a suitable solution. The king and his ministers were sad all day long, and they didn't know what to do......
