Norfolk is located in the north-east of England and is a large agricultural county, so it is favored by the royal family, and the county has a large number of royal domains.

It is bordered by Suffolk to the south, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire to the west, and the North Sea to the east and north.

Located in a lowland area, most of the county is located in river basins, and water resources are abundant.

The agricultural region is divided into: the Wentham River, the Yères River, the Biel River and their basins, which flow into the North Sea; The northwest corner is the Uth River basin that flows into Worth Bay.

Both regions were rich agricultural areas, rich in products and fertile land, and were loved by nobles and gentlemen.

As a result, it has become a key area of enclosure, and local farmers are miserable.

Some people say that the enclosure movement is not the primitive accumulation of capital? This is the throes of social development and cannot be stopped.

Of course, everyone is currently thinking and answering from a historical point of view, which is very different from the interests of the king of England at this time.

Originally, after Edward became king, he also thought that the enclosure movement was reasonable and should even be encouraged, and was puzzled by the obstruction or even prohibition of Henry VIII and the Tudor government.

This is also the reason why he agreed to oppose the loss of power of Duke Edward, who opposed the enclosure.

As a result, it was not until he personally sat on the throne of the king that he understood how much the enclosure movement had done to the government.

First, it seriously interferes with government tax revenues.

A large amount of public land is classified as private, which is equivalent to the innocent disappearance of taxes that originally belonged to the peasants, and is passed on to the enclosed farmers.

However, almost all of them have abandoned the land directly as farms, with a minimum of 30 percent, and the land utilization rate is completely inferior to that of the peasants, and the government receives less than half of the original taxes.

As a result, the government paid less and less taxes, the peasants became poorer, and the enclosed farmers amassed a lot of wealth.

In other words, the original tax of 1,000 pounds became 500 pounds, and the other 500 pounds went to the farmers.

Second, it exacerbates social contradictions.

Some people think, can't these peasants who have lost their land go to the factory? How can you go hungry?

It is too beautiful to think that in the sixteenth century, how could there be so many factories that could accommodate so many workers, and besides, most of the workers did not live as well as the peasants, and it was not uncommon for them to break their hands and feet, and even get caught in the machines and be killed.

What about these people? You can only become a homeless, a beggar, begging everywhere, and when there is no food, all kinds of crimes are born.

To a certain extent, anti-enclosure riots and uprisings naturally occurred, which had a great impact on the rule of the English royal family.

In 1530, the Tudor government decreed that all able-bodied vagrant beggars were to be arrested, tied to the back of the wagon, whipped until they bleed, and then forced to take a voluntary labor oath and be sent home.

In 1536 the previous decree was reaffirmed and stipulated that those arrested for a second violation of the decree should have their ears cut off in half in addition to whipping; Three violations of the order are punishable by death.

As a result, during the reign of Henry VIII, the number of landless peasants executed amounted to seventy-two thousand.

Thirdly, and most importantly, it made it extremely difficult for the royal family to recruit civilians.

There is a tradition in England that the royal family can regularly conscript militia to serve the royal family every year.

However, the enclosure has destroyed the source of soldiers, and it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit soldiers.

Generally speaking, the militia is basically the local peasants, and the enclosure takes away their land, making them homeless and displaced, and the source of soldiers is becoming less and less.

This is why when Henry VIII conquered France, most of the soldiers in the army were mercenaries from Italy and Germany, and there were very few native English soldiers.

Historically, from the Stuart dynasty onwards, soldiering became a lowly profession, and most of the soldiers came from the strong, even in the nineteenth century.

After seeing these three most important reasons, Edward was full of hatred for the enclosure movement.

Compared with his own rule, capitalism is nothing, he cannot rule the country himself, and no matter how well England develops, it will not benefit him.

Just when he was about to finish the local reform and work together all over the country to stop the enclosure movement, he received a letter at this time.

This is a letter from Norfolk in the Mooshold Wilderness, north-east of Norwich City.

and by Robert. Kate and his brother William. Kate took the lead, and a group of representatives of the 100 households followed suit, and the joint letter, "The Love Letter", was sent to London, and finally handed over to the royal palace, Edward's table.

It reads: "Your Majesty, we have no intention of offending your majesty, this is just an act of self-help by our poor people, please forgive us for our rude behavior."

We are writing this letter to tell you that your people are currently suffering untold suffering, and we ask you to take the next steps......

After reading this large and tens of thousands of words of love letter, Edward couldn't help sneering in his heart, some of the original sympathy for them had disappeared.

This letter, Edward summed up, this Robert. Kate went so far as to blackmail the king into carrying out what they thought he was doing.

First, it is forbidden to enclose land, and no one is allowed to rob their cattle and sheep.

Second, grazing is prohibited on enclosed land.

Third, the rent was lowered, and the fines for encroachment on land and houses were kept at the level of 1485.

Fourth, reduce the clergy.

Fifth, they were allowed to participate in the administration of government, in which only the gentry could participate.

…………

If Edward had agreed to these terms, the submission of a group of peasants, not to mention the reputation of the central government and the royal family, would have been ruined.

By imposing these conditions, the Tudor royal family would offend all the local gentlemen and its rule over England would be shaky.

Of course, Edward was not so stupid as to agree to the peasants' terms, so that all the cats and dogs would revolt and the government would have to bow their heads? What has become of that country?

What's more important is this Robert. The uprising led by Kate has reached more than 20,000 people, which is a huge number in England.

Moreover, Edward had just received the news that they had captured Norwich, England's second largest city, with the help of the city's unemployed residents, much to Edward's anger.

This is not just a rebellion, but a rebellion, a rebellion.

If you look at it according to the original history, I don't know what the reason is, this uprising was suppressed for half a year, maybe it was the butterfly effect!
