As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, but the fighting in the city of London did not stop at all. General Chrissy and his 5,000 regular troops were rummaging through every corner of London, looking for every Tudor remnant dressed in black and armed with a knife.

Even the recruits of the Praetorian Guard, who had been crippled in the first and second phalanxes, were in high spirits in the city of London, entering every alley, searching every house, looking for all suspicious objects.

Although, these Praetorian Guard recruits can't beat those black-clothed swordsmen. However, this time the situation is different. In order to escape for their lives, the men in black have scattered and fled, and they have lost their fighting spirit. Therefore, even the weak Janissary recruits dare to arrest them. At most, a few people hunt down one or two people. In this way, there will be no accidents.

As for Commander Jenas, who was originally wounded in many places, he was even more diligent in leading his men at this time to search for any suspicious people. Originally, his subordinates persuaded him to go for treatment. But Jenas knew that his performance had been mediocre before. At this time, it is necessary to work hard to capture the fugitives in order to make Edward have a better impression of him. Moreover, none of his previous injuries were fatal, at most a little painful. Also, if you insist on catching the fugitive with blood all over your body, and then go to Edward to return to his life, it will leave a better impression on Edward......

……

As for King Edward, who Janus was bent on ingratiating himself with, he was sitting on the throne in the palace in the Tower of London at this time, and he was also soothing his mood.

Before, Edward was very nervous when the shouts of killing rang out in the middle of the night on the streets of the Great Tower. At one point, Edward even wanted to take his wife and daughter out of the South Gate to escape from the Thames by boat. In this regard, Edward and Jones left behind similar hands.

However, Jones and others fled to France. And Edward, if he plans to flee for his life, he doesn't have to run that far, just run to the camp west of the city to take refuge. Or, go to Newcastle. After all, his army has not disappeared. As long as there is an army, it is relatively easy to fight back to London.

After calming down, Edward's eyes glowed with a dazzling light. He called the herald and ordered:

"By my order, all men in the prime of life in the city of London must be examined. Any outsider who has no one to prove his identity will be detained first. In the future, if it can be ascertained that the identity and motive are not treasonous, they can be released. and those who cannot be ascertained shall be put to death!" ”

"Yes!"

In addition, local middle-aged men in the city of London also have their bodies checked to see if there are any knife wounds on their bodies. If there is a knife wound, they will be detained and interrogated, and the reason will be found to see if it is those underworld members who participated in the rebellion! ”

"Yes!"

After a pause, Edward added:

"I remember Marin saying that people who use knives a lot have calluses on their mouths, which is a symbol of the regular use of weapons...... Well, that's not right, those blacksmiths are also calloused...... In this way, all strong men who see the tiger's mouth calloused will be arrested first to find out the reason! If you can't explain the origin, kill! ”

"Understood!"

……

With these orders, the city of London once again set off a bloody storm.

Unlike the first Great Purge, this time all ordinary men in the prime of life were subject to scrutiny. All suspicious characters with injuries on their bodies or calluses are all within the scope of investigation. Even, several foreign embassies were searched.

Then, none of the swordsmen from other places who were stupid and fled for their lives escaped and were easily rounded up and captured. These men were already unfamiliar with London, and after the rout, they scurried around the city like headless flies, and easily fell into the encirclement of the soldiers of the Fifth Legion or the recruits of the Praetorian Guard.

At this time, even the gangsters of the third-party array, who were originally very cowardly, were dispatched to help arrest them. The rout of the scattered Fourth and Fifth Army Corps also regrouped to participate in the capture work.

Although it is said that after this battle, the recruits of the third, fourth, and fifth phalanxes who performed poorly will definitely be dismissed, but before the dismissal, the merit will be mixed, and King Edward will not treat them badly.

Edward had promised that if they behaved well, they would be rewarded. Those who perform well can even go to the local area to serve as patrols. The patrol may be a P in London. But at the local level, patrols can be ruthless on the streets, better than the chengguan of later generations. This position, in fact, is a combination of the police and the chengguan in later generations, and it is quite popular at the local level. Therefore, for such a position, those gangsters are also counted as fighting. The cowardice of the previous war was suddenly gone, and it was very hard to catch people.

Edward suddenly regretted that he had given them this promise in advance. That way, the gangster recruits might do better.

But on second thought, this is unrealistic. Because, Edward's promise in advance was tantamount to telling the Praetorian Guard recruits that they were just a cover. If the news had been learned by the Tudor remnant's intelligence agents, the enemy might have flinched.

Janus's hard work finally paid off – given his desperate efforts to stop the enemy's assault on the Tower of London's palace, and his subsequent efforts to capture the fugitives, he was finally rewarded with the knighthood he had been given, as well as a fiefdom on a manor. Although there were only 600 acres of fiefdom, it could not be compared with the large fiefdom of 1,500 acres of French knights, nor could it match the thousands of acres of fiefdom of German knights. However, this made Jenas's family, from a commoner family without a surname, suddenly step into the ranks of the nobility. In the future, as long as his children practice martial arts well and learn formal military knowledge, they will have the opportunity to serve in the army and serve as officers in the future. His family can be regarded as having the foundation for its rise......

……

Edward's order for indiscriminate arrest put everyone in London at risk. Originally, more than 3,000 black-clothed men escaped, but more than 2,000 middle-aged men were arrested.

And what made Meitner, the head of the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, cry and laugh - the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce was also recruited this time......

The spies of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, in this arrest, were also arrested thirty people. These people were originally the backbone of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce lurking in London, responsible for finding out the news of London. As a result, because he had calluses on his hands or sword wounds on his body, he was accidentally caught.

Meitner had no choice but to ask Edward to explain their identities......

"Huh? Are they from your country? In terms of household registration, they are all English......" Edward was a little puzzled. At the same time, there is also some vigilance - why is Marin planting so many eyes and ears in London? What does he want to do......

Thankfully, Meitner was prepared. In the middle of that time he pulled out a roster, presented it to Edward, and explained:

"Your Majesty, since the fall of the Tudor dynasty, we have also been helping to find out the news of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty. So, we hired these English natives as temporary workers to help us find out. After all, it is more convenient for locals to find out more information than for us foreigners. You see, this is the list of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty that we have found......"

"Temporary ......" If Marin was here, he probably couldn't help but laugh out loud. Because, the word "temporary worker" is a special title for "backstabber......

In fact, there are hundreds of agents of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in London. It's just that these thirty people were not well hidden and happened to be caught. There were more than sixty people, because they were well hidden, and they were not discovered. Even, in the palace of the Tower of London, there are several secret agents of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce lurking.

It is not easy for the Beihai Chamber of Commerce to train a few spies, and Meitner is reluctant to let those spies go. He planned to bring back the more than 30 people, and then arrange another job.

They couldn't stay in the city of London, they were all recognized. So, it's time to send them somewhere else in England. It just so happened that a group of spies from elsewhere in England came to London.

It's just that this time, Edward found more than 30 secret agents, which is very unworthy. Because, Edward will definitely be on guard against Marlin because of this......

……

As for the other 6,000 people who were arrested, Edward was not polite. Regardless of your innocence, serve with a leather whip first. Even if you are innocent, you will be punished with a great punishment. And the murderous officials also tried to find useful clues from these mouths as their capital for promotion......

Not to mention, there are really people who can't stand the torture and confess. But there are also many people who are forced to admit that there is a problem. Then, those who confessed their sins were sent to the place of execution, and during the reign of Edward, the second bloody purge of England began......
