Chapter 272: Migration (Part II)
ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions
Sir John squeezed a smile on his face, nodded to the few people who had come to greet him, and stood still.
Among the major families present, his age and prestige were the largest among the major families, and he was the only one who could afford it.
"Your Excellency, you are finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
On the side, a hairy blond haired Began. Sir Thomas had taken a few steps, and the distance between him and Sir John was getting closer, and he saw that there was a look of restraint and flattery on his face, and he asked what the others had in mind.
"Our major families are in the same spirit, and we are about to go to London, and if you are not familiar with life, I wonder if you have anything to advise?"
As he spoke, Sir Thomas raised his head and looked at Sir John with a look of hope.
The helmsmen of the other two families also raised their heads, like Sir Thomas, and their eyes were focused on him with hope.
It is no wonder that they so, as soon as they leave Oxford, they take off their protective clothing and are naked in front of the nobility and the London magnates, and if they go unprepared, they are fat on the table and are slaughtered.
Therefore, the other three families, who are full of worries in their hearts, urgently need a way to protect their family property.
Therefore, the first thing that came to their minds was the figure of Sir John, and the three of them had no choice but to ask for help from Sir John.
Seeing the patriarch of the three major families so respectfully pleading, Sir John felt a hint of comfort in his heart, the John family was still the head of the four major families, but this was far from enough.
The cracks at the corners of Sir John's mouth widened more and more, and the smile on his face looked extraordinarily bright and mysterious in the sun.
I silently thought in my heart that such a position was unstable, and when the other three families got through the difficulties, the position of the head of the John family would become history.
In this time of crisis and opportunity, it is important to put your family in a leadership position.
In the eyes of Sir Thomas and others, Sir John, who was known for his wisdom, had an uneasy smile on his face, and he felt a little panicked in his heart.
However, when the family encounters the moment of overturn, no matter how much the benefits are lost, there is still time to earn it back in the future.
The three of them gritted their teeth in their hearts, and when they were about to accept a series of unequal treaties with Sir John, Sir John finally spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time to talk, let's talk about it when we get on the boat!"
Sir John didn't say much, but glanced at the nearby guards, and said mysteriously.
"Yes, it's not a good place!" When Sir Matthew heard this, he knew that Sir John already had a draft in his heart, and his heart suddenly fell, and he couldn't help nodding his head in agreement.
The others also understood what Sir John meant, and let go of their nervousness, and their eyes turned around, and it was indeed not appropriate to discuss such an important matter in public, so they also nodded their heads in agreement.
Aside from Ronaldo. When John saw his father surrounded by the crowd, he took one look at it, and then directed his servants to carry him to his family's ship.
The other three people hugged around Sir John, you and I, greeted cordially, with an indescribable intimacy.
The cold east wind blew slowly, with the chill of winter, and greeted everyone cordially.
Sir John and the others were just about to board the ship, when there were bursts of weeping in the distance, far stronger than those of the four great families.
Sir John could not help but look at the unpretentious carriages of the unpretentious carriages towards the fleet, and the cries of women and children were incessant, and even evolved into more and more intense directions.
The guards from the circuit court turned a deaf ear and stood guard with expressionless faces.
Seeing this, Sir John could not help frowning, and the sound of crying made him upset.
When Sir Matthew, who was observing his words and expressions, saw him like this, he immediately stretched out his head and explained in a tone of pity: "Your Excellency, these are the other twenty-two small families who are judging with us!" ”
"They, like us, are rushing to London, but unlike ours, we are London, and they are the barbarian island of Ireland!"
As soon as Sir Matthew's words fell, several people, including Sir John, looked ugly, and they all felt a little empathy.
It's not that their families are powerful, and His Majesty the King doesn't dare to go too far with them, otherwise, the same scene awaits them.
Displaced to Ireland, they spent their days worrying about being attacked by the barbarians, and they were in a state of desolation and lacked everything, and they preferred to go to Scotland rather than Ireland.
Several people watched with pity as this group of mournful people boarded the ship one after another, and a sense of sadness inexplicably arose in their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if we don't unite, the end result will be nothing more than that, and even more unbearable!"
After a moment of silence, Sir John took the opportunity to explain to the crowd what they were about to face, and planted a nail in their hearts, so as to give them an advantage for the next negotiation.
Then Sir John took one last look, and led the group to the rooms on the ship, where they began an important discussion with the others.
On the side, twenty-two small families destined for Ireland came to the banks of the Thames one after another, wept and boarded the ship bound for London, and then waited for London's arrangement to go to the north of Ireland controlled by England.
Of course, Edward also knew that if there was no benefit in moving directly, anyone would have a strong complaint.
In order to dissipate the strong resentment in their hearts, His Majesty the King allowed the claim to be halved and, for half the price of the land in England, a portion of the Irish land belonging to the Crown was sold to them, thus comforting their wounded hearts.
That's why they cried and walked onto the boat, instead of the army crushing them directly onto the boat, and the difference between the two is great.
Of course, they are only the first people, not the last.
After more than three hours of deliberation, the four major families finally reached a consensus, and first determined the leadership of the John family (note: it was established without infringing on the interests of other families).
After that, there was a series of marriages and exchange of interests, and the alliance of the four major families was established with the interests as the link.
Of course, this alliance will inevitably dissolve because of the combination of interests, and this is the result of a matter of time.
Sir John also knew that, unlike others, he believed that a trip to London, though with danger was likewise an opportunity.
If you lead this alliance, then the interests of the John family can be maximized.
