Chapter 285: Behind the Marquis of William
At this time, Norwich has calmed down after a months-long riot that has only been washed away by a light rain.
However, the whole city is still in a state of panic, even more unsettling than it was during the occupation of the mob.
Even if peace has been restored, Norwich's withered leather and woolen industries show no signs of recovery, and on the contrary, they are becoming more and more decadent, as if they have fallen into a bottomless cliff, unable to extricate themselves.
In this regard, all Norwich understand that the reason why this is so is because of the Marquess of Northampton, William. Parr stayed in the city, sitting in it, directing his troops to strike and reclaim the land occupied by the mob.
However, the city council of Norwich and most of the citizens hated the Marquis who "saved" Norwich at this time.
The reason for this is none other than the massacre he had had taken a few days earlier.
According to bystanders (those who were secretly observing from the doorway), the rebels, who were shocked by the sudden arrival of government troops, were like flies at the touch of a flight without the command of Sir Robert.
The tens of thousands of mobs were driven away by more than 10,000 government troops, and there was no resistance at all.
And the elated Marquis William had no mercy for the defeated mob, and raised the butcher's knife in a big way.
The defeated mob had no choice but to flee in a hurry, passively slaughtered.
Fleeing, trampling, slashing, all of a sudden, the city of Norwich was covered with rivers of blood, wreckage, cries, and begs for mercy.
In response to this, the residents of Norwich who were hiding in their homes trembled all night listening to such a miserable sound, and the militia, fearing that they would be killed, raised their blood-stained butcher knives and swung them at Norwich.
After all, Norwich is known for its wealth, and the lure of this gold coin is enough to reveal the true colors of the devil of hell.
Fortunately, the Marquis William also knew that if his men were allowed to act like this, his majesty would definitely surprise him if Norwich, the second largest city in England, was destroyed.
So, the residents of Norwich spent the night cautiously and stayed up all night.
However, the scene of corpses in the streets and alleys made the residents of Norwich who had just left the house vomit.
Faced with such a disgusting scene, not only frightened the residents of Norwich, but also scared away the merchants who came with great anticipation.
Without merchants, the commercial city of Norwich became more and more depressed, and more and more people lost their jobs.
"Your Excellency, most of Norfolk has been recovered, including Robert. Kate's hometown - Wyndham Town! ”
Marquis William sat on the main seat with a relaxed face on Erlang's legs, and on the side, a middle-aged man with an indifferent face and green eyes, with two sword eyebrows, was listening to the messenger in front with relish, bending down deeply, and reporting respectfully.
It took about ten minutes for the debriefing to end, and our Marquis William was staring away, tilting his neck, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, the middle-aged man who listened to it gently kicked the Marquis William, who was distracted.
"Huh?" The Marquis suddenly sobered up, his head turned, and then his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man on the side, and when he saw his eyes skimmed, he reacted, sat upright, and had a serious expression on his face.
"It's good, I already know, you can go down!"
Marquis William commanded with a noble demeanor.
The messenger in front of him, bowing his head, raised his head, slowly stepped back, and then saluted again, and then turned away and closed the door.
"My Lord Marquis, please pay attention to your aristocratic manners!"
The middle-aged man squinted at Marquis William, with a straight face, and said with a full of anger.
"You know, you're the Marquis of Northampton, a nobleman, what would such an attitude make those mortals think!"
looked at the age difference, but the middle-aged man taught a lesson without any scruples, not caring at all about the aristocratic status of Marquis William.
"I understand, Thomas!" Marquis William could only say softly with a begging expression for mercy.
"It's just that what I don't understand is, when did you decide to come out?"
Marquis William opened his eyes wide in curiosity, poked his head out, looked at the middle-aged man with a straight eye, and asked word by word, it can be seen that he wanted to know the result of this matter very much.
"Did you buy the godfather? It was an eye-opener! ”
Hearing Marquis William say in an exaggerated tone, the middle-aged man pursed his lips, obviously, his conjecture was in vain.
Marquis William was unimpressed by the frustration of his conjecture, and kept saying his thoughts in his mouth.
Speculation in his mouth, but Marquis William pondered carefully in his heart.
Thomas. Marne, who was his godfather, Victor. Another godson of Marne, who was extremely intelligent since he was a child, knew all kinds of knowledge at a glance, and from childhood to adulthood, he has always been deeply influenced by his godfather Frank Ferdin. Marne's favorite.
He also gave his surname to Thomas, and kept him by his side as his own son, in order to prepare for his old age, and refused to let him out.
This Thomas, who understands everything, just has a stinky problem, and he loves to be more serious about some things that do not conform to his own cognition and do not conform to the rules, and uses his eloquence to make people submit.
Therefore, in the face of his lesson, Marquis William let it go, without the slightest idea of opposition, otherwise, he would have to spend this day in saliva.
"The Godfather said that the situation in England is somewhat incomprehensible!"
Thomas was also full of doubts, and said with a disapproving attitude.
"What situation? At most, there were more riots, and wasn't it the same in the days of the previous kings? ”
When Marquis William heard such words, he secretly pondered in his heart, then shook his head and said disapprovingly.
"Could it be that it came from this young king?"
Marquis William's heart suddenly froze, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, but his face was still the same disapproving attitude.
"Yes! I also felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary, but the godfather kicked me out and left me to figure it out for myself! ”
Thomas frowned at the two swords, lowered his head, and said softly.
"During this time, I found that Edward VI in London, since he ascended the throne, has been moving non-stop for several years, and likes to toss and turn!"
"I took a look at it, and it dawned on me that his power was even stronger than that of the previous king, Henry VIII!"
"It can be seen that the power in his hands will become bigger and bigger, and this is the so-called change of situation!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Marquis William immediately realized, and finally appeared in the young king.
