In fact, these men in black didn't know that the officers of the 5,000 recruits were simply flaws that Edward deliberately sold. The commander of this new army, Edward, has found a cronie. But the following 5 phalanx leaders, Edward deliberately found 4 people with big flaws.

What does it mean to have a big flaw? It was the kind of aristocrat who was not loyal enough to Edward and was more greedy. Except for the commander of the first phalanx directly under the commander of the legion, who is a trustworthy person, the leaders of the other four thousand-person phalanx are all uneducated and extremely greedy children of the nobles.

And the 4 phalanx leaders were all bait cast by Edward to lure the remnants of the Tudor dynasty to buy them. Because, only by letting the remnants of the Tudor dynasty buy two or three phalanx leaders, the other party will dare to take risks. Otherwise, 5,000 recruits would not be so easy to deal with. Because, in the hands of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty, there is also a shortage of well-trained veterans.

Most of these remnants of the Tudor dynasty were underground forces controlled by the great nobles of the Tudor dynasty at the beginning. Its rulers are either die-hard loyalists of those great noble families, or simply side branches or illegitimate children of the great nobles. For example, the leader of the men in black named Jones was Henry VII's stepfather, Thomas. An illegitimate child of Stanley.

Therefore, most of these people in black are good at intrigue and secret confrontation. However, there is no one who is proficient in training and fighting wars. After all, the members of the great noble families who were proficient in training and fighting at the beginning had already been sent to the army of Henry VII. Then, with the defeat of Henry VII, he was either killed in battle or killed afterwards.

Thus, among the remnants of these Tudor dynasties, there were those who were proficient in assassination, those who were proficient in inking, those who were proficient in business, and those who were proficient in extortion...... There is no proficient training and fighting war......

However, these underground forces that were controlled by the great aristocratic families at the beginning were very good at hiding in the shadows. Therefore, even if Edward eliminated the Tudors, he could not eliminate the underground power of these former nobles. Because, they are good at hiding under the Nine Lands.

In terms of combat effectiveness, even Edward's imitation of the new English legion recruited by the Fifth Legion could beat the remnants of the Tudor dynasty with the same number of people. There's no way, people who specialize in art and are good at mixing black are really not opponents of the regular army. Although the new army of England could not defeat the fifth legion, it was easy to clean up the remnants of the Tudor dynasty.

But don't underestimate the method of military training, because in later generations, because there is a lot of information that can be checked on the Internet, any netizen can find some information about military training. In ancient times, not to mention the knowledge of military training, even if they were literate and literate, only a small number of people could do it.

Generally speaking, the method of military training is monopolized by military aristocratic families and passed down from generation to generation. Those big aristocratic families naturally have the inheritance of the method of military training. However, this precious military knowledge, even in the families of the great nobility, was generally taught only to the core of the children so that they could serve the king. And those who control the dark forces underground, the words of the slave cannot be qualified to learn military command knowledge, no matter how loyal it is, it is useless. And the children of the collateral or illegitimate children are no better than slaves, and they are not qualified to learn military knowledge. Because, their background is doomed that they will not be able to get the opportunity to serve as an officer, so what military knowledge do they bother to learn?

Therefore, the remnants of the Tudor Dynasty who survived are estimated to be more than 4,000 strong, but there is a serious lack of masters who can train soldiers. Otherwise, with their hatred for Edward's Yorkist dynasty, they would have gathered troops and rebelled long ago.

But they were too good at hiding, and after Edward ascended the throne, he was stunned to catch a few members of the underground forces of the Tudor aristocratic families. After all, people's ability to survive and adapt in the dark is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

That's why Edward planned to use himself as bait to lure the remnants of the Tudor dynasty into attacking him. In this way, the enemy is revealed, and it is easy to catch them all......

You know, because of the existence of these remnants of the Tudor dynasty, Edward is also terrified now, for fear of being murdered by these people. After all, these people are not good at fighting, but they are good at assassination. Fortunately, Edward is now a good learner, and is always surrounded by a group of strong "humanoid meat shields" wearing breastplate armor. Even if there were assassins, they could not easily hurt Edward.

I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves. Because of the existence of these people, Edward now does not dare to leave the palace without wearing plate armor, lest he encounter accidents.

In order to deal with these Tudor remnants, Edward specially transferred all the elites on the surface, leaving only a newly recruited army of 5,000 men to serve as the guard of the city of London.

Moreover, it seems that in order to facilitate the enemy's draw, except for the 1,000-man phalanx, which is located in the southeast corner of London, close to the Tower of London, which is located in the southeast of Old London, the remaining 4 thousand-man phalanx, Edward specially released the bait to attract those Tudor remnants to buy.

As a result, as expected, as Edward expected, seeing that 4 of the 5 Thousand Phalanx Commanders had flaws in their bodies, those Tudor remnants took decisive action......

After all, these people originally controlled the underground forces of the top families in England, so they were naturally not short of money. Because, those big nobles are all old foxes of the "three holes of cunning rabbits", and they must know how to hide some black money. Moreover, if you want to make a fortune, the black way is the fastest way to get money. And it is these underground forces that master the black way. Therefore, these underground forces, even after the fall of the main family, did not fall in a short period of time. Because, with their former savings, they can still support it for some years.

In addition, because Edward massacred the great nobles of the Tudor dynasty, there will be a big power vacuum in England for more than ten years. In many places, the transfer of power will take at least a few years to really complete the reshuffle.

Therefore, the remnants of the Tudor dynasty can still be dashing for a few more years. At the very least, until England completes the reshuffle of power, the underground will remain the status quo for the time being.

But the remnants of the Tudor dynasty also knew very well that once England completed the reshuffle on the surface, the upstarts who benefited from it would stretch their hands underground. And this buffer period, a maximum of a few years. Once those upstarts gain a foothold, they, the remnants of the original Tudor dynasty, will be cut off from their financial resources and lose the foundation of their existence.

Therefore, Jones and a group of Tudor remnants were in a hurry to make a move. In addition to the hatred of the family, there are also their own interests.

Because, all the nobles of their main families were killed, and these illegitimate sons or collateral branches who controlled the underground forces became the surviving bloodlines. Although illegitimate children have no right to inherit, what if they take advantage of this opportunity to successfully rebel and bring back Henry VII's daughter, Princess Margaret?

When the time comes, as long as the rebellion is successful, they will become the greatest heroes of the Tudor dynasty. Even if he is an illegitimate child, I am afraid that he can also obtain the right to inherit the title because of merit. Just like Thomas back then. Stanley, for supporting the rebellion of Henry VII, was eventually promoted from Baron to Earl of Derbyshire. And Richard. Sir Pol married Lord Margaret, and his son became the successor to the title of Earl of Salisbury......

……

However, it seems that the luck of these Tudor remnants is ordinary, and Edward deliberately released the four unreliable phalanx leaders, but they actually only bought two......

Moreover, what they didn't know was that the lieutenants of the 4 unreliable phalanx leaders were all Edward's cronies. Of course, the four commanders themselves don't know. And the two unlucky and bribed phalanx commanders didn't know that their every move had been monitored by Edward's men. Once they give the army an order to rebel, they may be stabbed in the back by their men......
