A month is fleeting, and for our Majesty the King, it has only been a somewhat boring month.

In the 16th century, the entertainment of the aristocracy, in addition to hunting, was the most important banquet.

To be honest, Edward, as a king, was still a little incompetent.

For example, during the reign of Henry VIII, banquets were often held to connect the feelings of the nobles, and by the way, to have an 'in-depth' exchange with those lovely ladies to reflect the thoughtfulness and care of His Majesty.

However, since Edward's accession to the throne, there have been only a handful of banquets, let alone any exchanges of feelings.

The reason why he didn't report the banquet was because he didn't want to see those noble ladies who were covered in incense, so why not read a book and flirt with the lovely secretaries and maids?

Second, he did not want to promote the further development of the luxurious life of the aristocracy.

You know, in England, it is also popular to go up and down, the best example is the later Elizabeth I, the queen is particularly fond of lace edges, skirts, hats, and even leather boots, with lace.

As you know, the lace edge culture soon spread throughout the world with the establishment of the British colonial empire.

So, if Edward, like his father, made a big deal about the feast, then the nobles would also learn a lot, and the whole noble community would be corrupted.

In the Tudor power structure, the aristocracy was an important link between the central and local governments, and assumed indispensable local governance and military command functions.

In other words, the king influenced the nobility, and the nobility used their centuries of influence to assist the king in controlling the place.

Therefore, the aristocracy plays the role of a blood vessel, although without this blood vessel, it can still control the place, but the effect is much worse.

At present, and for centuries to come, the aristocracy has been the ruling class and elite of England, and their fall will have a direct impact on the development of England.

In this way, the effect is still quite obvious, and in the past few years, the participation of the entire aristocratic class in the banquet has gradually declined.

And this time, Edward had no choice but to hold a banquet.

And the main reason for this banquet was that he wanted to let these nobles send troops in the name of the king, fulfill the obligations of vassals, and go to war with him.

Therefore, our Majesty the King was standing in the center of the hall at this time, facing the dense aristocrats, holding back the timidity in his heart, and proclaimed loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Scottish region has begun to riot again, and the rebellion is rampant, threatening the interests of England in his eyes, and an insult to me, the joint monarch of Scotland and England!"

"So, gentlemen, at this moment, fulfill the promise you have made in the witness of God!"

Edward's eyes rolled, he looked at the quiet nobles below, and announced loudly.

"Long live Your Majesty!" "To Scotland!" "Let those barbarians see how good we are!"

…………

The king's subdued words aroused the sympathy of the nobles, and the whole hall was like oil in a hot pot for a moment, boiling, cheering, and talking.

It seemed that His Majesty's words had aroused indignation in their hearts.

Seeing such a picture, Edward nodded with satisfaction, and after stepping down and saying a few words to several important nobles, Shi Shiran walked back, now is the time for the nobles.

It looked like a perfect scene, but it was actually rehearsed in advance by Edward and the nobles.

For this group of nobles, if there is no interest, the nobles will definitely not be able to work, which will not achieve his goal of uniting the nobles.

And our Majesty the King has made a guarantee that some of the nobles and ecclesiastical property of Scotland can be shared by the nobles.

In this way, the actions of the nobles are naturally enthusiastically supported, there are interests, and of course they are energetic.

This scene, of course, has a purpose.

The aim was to give the merchants of London the confidence to give their gold coins to His Majesty the King and earn interest.

With the support of all the nobles, the confidence of the merchants certainly increased a lot.

The next day, the nobles scattered and returned to prepare to lead the army and come to the rendezvous.

Of course, the meeting place was still at York City, a rear base for attacking Scotland.

And at this time, our Majesty the King was not idle, he took a carriage and hurried to the barracks of the Guards.

Here, there were not only fully replenished guards, but also 5,000 mercenaries from afar.

If the camp of the Guards is a boxy rectangle, then the mercenaries are irregular triangles.

"Your Majesty, I have recruited more than 5,200 people from the German region, including one hundred and fifty-three wandering knights, and when these wandering knights heard about your recruitment, they immediately signed up, saying that they wanted to serve you! They are also the main force of this group of mercenaries, and they are also my biggest gain! ”

Edward was half-lying in the spacious and comfortable carriage, and Lucy, the maid beside him, mischievously shook the grapes at his lips.

Edward looked at the girl's bright eyes, and suddenly leaned forward, and immediately took the girl's green fingers in his mouth.

The girl was embarrassed for a while, gently beat his chest a few times, and then continued to peel the grapes and continue to feed.

And John who was sitting near the door of the carriage. Sir Carrile pretended not to care, and said in a serious manner.

"What works for me, I think it's because I see that it is possible to obtain a fief! This is the opportunity they have been asking for! ”

Although he was flirting with the girl, Edward's ears were still listening, and Edward was a little disgusted by the pretending images of the wandering knights.

In the face of such unrelenting words from His Majesty the King, John. Carrile was too embarrassed to criticize the people he envied, so he could only respond in silence.

At this time, Europa presented a false illusion of peace, and those wandering knights who were ready to obtain fiefs by virtue of their military exploits were of course desperate for this kind of recruitment from England, even if it was England, a wild island country.

However, for these more than 100 knights, Edward still coveted it in his heart, and England, which had experienced the War of the Roses, in addition to the nobles who had been crippled, the knightly class, known as the feudal foundation, had been completely crippled.

At present, there are only about 200 left, which is basically not much use.

Therefore, the quality of these more than 100 wandering knights, well-trained reserve knights, is much higher than that of knights in England at this time.

Moreover, in Scotland, a poor place, there are not even a few firearms, and this kind of knight is very useful.
