Chapter 430: Robin Hood Thieves

Just when the German region is turbulent, the central region of England is also very lively. Why? Because there is an additional community called "Robin Hood Thieves......

Unlike the authentic Robin Hood's peasant rebel army in history, this Robin Hood thieves are purely a thief group, robbing the rich and not the poor. However, they did not kill people, but only robbed, which was very similar to the behavior of later societies that only cared about making money.

Robinson and Hanks, the chief and deputy leaders of the Robin Hood Thieves Regiment, are actually Frisians, and they were originally recruited by Kohler when he formed the intelligence agency. The two had participated in a 200-member bandit in West Friesland, and were "experienced" talents.

Moreover, their real names are actually called Koster and Marić respectively. One has served as the deputy head of the thieves' group, and the other has served as the intelligence leader of the thieves' group responsible for finding out information. It's just that their last time there was a mistake in intelligence, and they were unfortunately wiped out by the then West Frisian commander Sivag with an army of 3,000. It's just that the two escaped by hiding in the toilet dung pit when the thieves were destroyed.

Later, they took refuge with Kohler, who recruited intelligence talents, and learned a lot of intelligence knowledge under Kohler, and at the same time, they also learned some military knowledge. After all, Khloe had often followed Marin in his expeditions to the north and south. As Kohler's younger brothers, they also learned some military knowledge.

When Marin decided to recruit a group of English immigrants in the autumn and winter of last year, he thought it might make Henry VII much better. So, Marin decided to send professionals to infiltrate the refugees who had fled to the central counties of England in the northern counties, recruit the bad minds among them, and form a thief group to professionally rob the people of the central counties of England from food.

However, when the food is looted, it will not be used to help refugees from the north, but to recruit more thieves......

As a result, many people in the counties of central England will lose food and become refugees, affecting the social stability of England. In this way, the benefits to England brought by Marin's immigration of tens of thousands of people in the north were also negated......

Koster and Marić are the ones who have been thieves, and they are also former management. After arriving in several counties in central England, they quickly gained a foothold in Lincolnshire, near the sea, relying on Marin's strong financial resources and food support, recruited a large number of hungry and unscrupulous young refugees, formed the "Robin Hood Thieves Regiment", and began to loot in several counties in central England.

Koster and Marić landed by boat along the Humber River, the natural boundary between Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Humber Estuary is a well-known deep-water bay that is perfect for boats to land. Marin's ships also landed at the mouth of the Humber River to supply Koster and Marić, and to receive English sheep and other supplies that the two had stolen with the bandits.

The two go by the pseudonyms Robinson and Hanks, and sound more like English. Relying on food, they soon recruited hundreds of young men with lively minds and superb archery skills from among the displaced people from the north.

Now, thanks to Richard. Boer's army of more than 10,000 was stationed in the south to prevent the exiles from moving south to London. Therefore, the flexible minds of the displaced people probably know that they can only earn a living in a few counties in the central region.

However, the residents of the central counties are not stupid and will not easily distribute their food to these refugees from the north. If there are a few hundred people, everyone will be able to help. However, there are more than 200,000 refugees, which is more than the entire population of the locals. If anyone dares to be a good person, give relief to whom, and keep the next day the door is full of refugees asking for food......

So, after seeing this terrible consequence, the locals no longer dared to take in the refugees. Because, the consequences are too severe......

Without access to the locals, the refugees naturally had a hard time. Fortunately, at the beginning, the wild vegetables, leaves, grass roots, and bark of the central counties were still edible, and no one made any trouble.

However, this is not the way to go. There is always a time when these wild vegetables and weeds are eaten. Therefore, conflicts between refugees and locals are inevitable......

At this time, Coster and Marić, who are assumed the names Robinson and Hanks, appeared in front of everyone with food and weapons......

As a result, among the refugees, those young and strong refugees who have a strong desire to survive did not hesitate to choose to join the newly established "Robin Hood Thieves Group" in order to have a chance to survive.

Moreover, Robin Hood is very famous in England and has a very positive image. Many enthusiastic young refugees feel that joining this "Robin Hood Thieves" should not be a bad thing.

Who knows, Koster and Marić are authentic thieves at all, and they are not a team of thieves, but an authentic group of thieves. Under the banner of chivalry, they attracted many young refugees with good archery skills to join, but what they did afterwards was a lack of morality to give birth to a son......

The newly formed "Robin Hood Thieves Bandits" did rob the riches, and after the thieves were successfully formed, Coster and Marić gathered the young men of the thieves group for a simple military training. Then, he went to rob the rich of Lincolnshire......

Armed with thousands of skilled archers, as well as bows and spears from Marin's ships, the Robin Hood thieves looted many country estates with ease, looting the rich families of their food and belongings. Especially for grain, Koster and Marić remembered Kohler's instructions and did not leave a grain for the robbers......

Then, as for the livestock, the cattle and sheep were pulled directly to the banks of the Humber River, and waited until Marin's boats came at night to load them away. As for the horses, they were all stolen and used as mounts for the official class of the thieves.

As for what a thief should do, Koster and Marić chose to ignore it......

Of course, the families of those young refugees from the north who joined the thieves group could still get food. Based on this alone, in order to survive and the lives of their families, many refugee young people from the north were forced to choose to join the "Robin Hood Thieves Group......

Soon, the rich families of Lincolnshire's countryside were swept away by the "Robin Hood Thieves". Only the wealthy who fled into the city were spared. Because, after all, the bandit group is not a regular army and has no ability to attack cities.

As more and more people participated, the number of Robin Hood Thieves expanded dramatically to 8,000 people. And these 8,000 thieves often have several family members behind them.

In other words, the "Robin Hood Thieves" need to feed tens of thousands of mouths......

In fact, Marin could have provided food for these people. However, the original intention of the "Robin Hood Thieves Regiment" was to disrupt the counties of central England. Therefore, Marin will not provide food to these thieves, but will ask them to rob themselves and rob the food of the locals......

Therefore, Koster and Marić resolutely took these thieves and attacked those ordinary farmers in England......

After a lot of looting, tens of thousands of farmers in Lincolnshire, except for a small part of the grain that was well hidden, was robbed by the damned "Robin Hood Thieves......

Then, the members of the Robin Hood Thieves and their families were fed......

However, the people of Lincolnshire, who had been robbed of their food, became new refugees......

After seeing that the members of the thieves and their families had enough to eat, more and more northern refugees chose to join the "Robin Hood Thieves". As a result, the bandit expanded dramatically, numbering 14,000 people...... Counting their families, there are tens of thousands of people to feed......

However, there was really no food in Lincolnshire. As a result, Koster and Marić divided the "Robin Hood Thieves" into several parts, selected a few capable men, and each led a few thousand men to other counties such as Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire.

When these people go to other counties, they naturally won't do good things. Their main purpose is to attack the locals, rob the locals of their food, and eat themselves, but starve the local people......

As a result, several sub-regiments of the "Robin Hood Thieves Regiment" suffered wherever the people of England went. They were robbed of food and became new refugees, which was very miserable......

Now, the character of Robin Hood has become the most hated man in the counties of central England. Even in Robin Hood's hometown of Nottinghamshire, the name Robin Hood stinks......

Because, the "Robin Hood Thieves" led by Koster and Marich robbed the people here of their food and turned them into hungry refugees......

Under the scourge of the Robin Hood Thieves, 100,000 new refugees quickly appeared in the central counties, far more than the tens of thousands that Marin had emigrated from Newcastle. In short, Marin's goal of using the "Robin Hood Thieves" to plague several counties in central England was achieved. And England was also troubled by the "Robin Hood Thieves".

It stands to reason that the English court should quickly send troops to exterminate the "Robin Hood Thieves". It's a pity that now Richard. Ball's army needed to guard against hundreds of thousands of refugees heading south to London. Therefore, there are really not too many people to suppress the "Robin Hood Thieves". If there are fewer people, in the face of more than 10,000 members of the "Robin Hood Thieves Group", they may not be able to win. As long as there are not enough people on the defensive line, hundreds of thousands of refugees will definitely take the opportunity to flock to London......

For the stability of London, and for the most prosperous southeastern counties of England not to be harmed, the English court resolutely gave Richard. Pol's army ordered to continue blocking the way for refugees to go south, regardless of the lives of the people in the central counties......
