Chapter 80: The Undercurrent (1)

The discussion culminated in the opinion of Bishop Braun as the target of action, and the crowd dispersed.

Thus, in Chester, the busy city townspeople and the peasants who were tired of running around for life did not realize what a fierce undercurrent was brewing under this quiet and peaceful life.

Di Village, a village named after the Di River, because of the river irrigation, the whole village has nearly 500 people, which in the Middle Ages, it was already a large village, and it also became a knight's fiefdom.

Bohr. The Bard Knight is the highest-ranking person in Di Village, and the most prestigious.

Not only because he owns nearly 800 acres of land in the entire village, but also nearly 1,500 acres of mountain forest. On top of that, most of the villagers live by renting their land.

To the surprise of the villagers, the knight who had always liked to ride his BMW early in the morning did not appear, which was really unexpected by the villagers. After all, it is really puzzling that something that has become a habit suddenly does not happen one day.

At this time, in the house of the Bard Knight, the originally lively living room was tightly closed, and several sturdy male servants firmly guarded the door of the living room, and the boss with beady eyes stared at the boss, as if he wanted to eat people.

Master Bard was sitting in his chair with a solemn face, making a gesture of listening, and his gray hair revealed his age.

"Dear Bard Knight, in order to maintain the glory of the Lord, we need your joining, I wonder what your wishes are?"

The young priest Crewe said a lot of things in order to convince himself that the middle-aged knight in front of him was a well-known knight near Chester.

Legend has it that the Bard Knight lived his life in reverence for biblical guidance and strived to become a perfect knight, earning him the respect of the peasants of several nearby villages.

And his reputation for being stingy is also widely spread, and I heard that he only likes to ride a horse every day, and has no other hobbies.

So he amassed a lot of wealth, which made his reputation even more famous.

"My priest, I am honored to uphold the glory of the Lord, and if you have any needs, please tell me!"

The Bard Knight said boldly, not at all as stingy as it was outside.

"We hope you will be part of this action to preserve the glory of the Lord and save the Lambs of the Lord!" Hearing that the Bard Knight was so direct, the priest of Crewe was full of joy and couldn't wait to say.

"Alas! No, I'm getting older, and now I can't even walk, let alone participate in the action! ”

"Why don't you put my name on it! Let me be part of this battle of faith, too! ”

The Bard Knight pretended to be in pain, and thumped his strong arm, his face full of helplessness.

"Old fox! Just thinking about the benefits and not paying at all, what a good plan! ”

Priest Crewe clenched his fists quietly, but he still had a smile on his face.

"So be it! As a sign of devotion to the Lord, I can contribute ten pounds to this action, no! Fifty pounds tariff! ”

With a pained look on his face, the Bard Knight said to the young manservant beside him.

"Yes! Master! "When I was young, the manservant was very respectful.

"In that case, then I'll bother, goodbye, respected Bard Knight!"

Hearing this, the young priest of Crewe gritted his teeth and said goodbye with the fifty pounds he had received and the name bestowed by the Bard Knight.

In this way, the whole of Cheshire is filled with priests of all kinds who come and go, and they are connected with the power of the people in various places.

On October 16, 1547, dozens of young clergy and hundreds of ardent Catholics gathered in a small church in Chester, the capital of Cheshire, and slowly fell silent.

"Believers of the Lord! The Duke of Somerset, based in London, is a heretic who has betrayed the Supreme Lord and shamefully surrendered to the hateful heretics! ”

"We cannot expect the gentlemen of London to leave the glory of the Lord to us! Don't be afraid, we are born with original sin, and this action can wash us away from our sins! ”

"We will be watched by the Lord of Heaven, and when we die, we will ascend to Heaven and enjoy that incomparably pleasant life in Heaven!"

"Restore the glory of the Lord and destroy the heretics!"

The young priest Cru shouted loudly, his tone full of fanaticism.

"Exterminate heretics!" "Exterminate heretics!" "Exterminate heretics!" …………

The believers below also enthusiastically echoed it, and the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

"Everyone! Come with me, and let's go and destroy the heretics together! ”

Priest Crewe led the hundred-hundred-man march to the slums west of Chester City.

The church of the Protestant clergy from London was built in a slum, and it was a small two-story building, dilapidated, but full of Protestants who came and went to pray.

The goal of the Cru Priests was here, the largest Protestant gathering place in Cheshire.

It was here that one of Cheshire's biggest fights and uprisings ignited.

At this time in London, since the Duke of Edward co-signed the Chancellor of the Exchequer Wilson. Since Farris signed the Restriction of Enclosure Decree, the atmosphere in London has suddenly become solemn.

The Earl of Warwick's Court, the front door of the mansion was full of visiting carriages of gentlemen and nobles from all over the world. The neighing of the horses and the chatting of the grooms slowly converged into a symphony.

The spacious parlor of the Earl's Court was crowded with visiting guests at this time, and there were not even enough seats, and many people were standing.

The people waiting in the hall seemed to have found someone they were familiar with, and they were chatting with each other, and the noisy voices flowed casually.

"Valiant knight, fearful of the French, Lord Count of Warwick has arrived!"

The sturdy manservant shouted loudly, reminding everyone in the hall that the hero of the mansion had arrived.

"Good morning! Dear Earl! Everyone gave a gentleman's salute in unison.

"Good morning! Ladies and gentlemen, The Earl of Warwick also responded politely.

"I understand the presence of gentlemen, but there is nothing I can do about it! The Duke of Somerset initiated this matter, and I was completely unaware of it."

The Earl of Warwick preemptively said, he knew that the Duke of Somerset's enclosure restriction decree had just been issued from the Privy Council, and the group of enclosure beneficiaries immediately couldn't sit still. Therefore, he has to pave the way for himself to retreat in advance.

"But Your Excellency! The Duke of Somerset, too! He gave us a closed door! ”

A richly dressed middle-aged gentleman took the lead in speaking, which showed how anxious he was.

"Yes! My Earl, this decree is so sudden, you don't know how much we have lost! ”

A thin middle-aged man picked up, and the Earl of Warwick knew him, a gentleman of Southamptonshire, who was known for his wealth, and who had been asked about the tens of thousands of acres of land in his family.
