In fact, the Catholic uprising in the west of England lasted for more than half a year, and finally in August 1948, the sheriff of Cheshire. His Excellency David succeeded in exterminating it with his unremitting efforts.

This Catholic rebellion not only wounded the militia in several counties in the west of England and greatly reduced the law and order, but also shattered the prestige that Duke Edward had established through the war.

Under such circumstances, the Duke of Edward still intended to reduce social contradictions in England and help the free peasants who were about to lose their land.

As a result, in the course of 1548, the Duke of Edward issued three successive decrees restricting the enclosure of local nobles and gentlemen, which brought great shock to the local government.

Although London's control over the local area is not strong, the existence of the Star Court and the Magistrate greatly deters the local forces.

The nobles with a long tradition were not so keen on enclosure and were reluctant to come forward, so the gentry were forced by the restraining order to stop driving out the peasants and take possession of the land.

The temporary cessation of the enclosure movement gave the local peasants a chance to breathe, which reduced the number of homeless people and alleviated social tensions in England.

However, the cessation of the enclosure movement also harmed the interests of the local gentry families, and also suspended the nourishment of the nurping capitalists, so the dissatisfaction with the Duke of Somerset was heard in the high society of the counties.

The gentlemen could not directly persuade the Duke of Somerset of London to change his decree, and they could not necessarily persuade him.

As a result, they can only exert their influence to induce the Duke to change the decree.

As a result, in just one year, nearly ninety-three riots broke out in the thirty-nine counties of England and thirteen counties of Wales, and it seemed that the entire Tudor royal rule was in danger of being overthrown at any time. This is how Duke Edward lost the trust of Edward VI in history.

As a result, the treasury, which had just been somewhat wealthy, was quickly deflated again, and the Duke of Edward was exhausted, and the discontent in the Privy Council became louder.

So in front of the Earl of Warwick's mansion in London, there were small nobles and gentlemen from all over the county, and the long procession stretched for nearly a mile, which looked magnificent.

November is the winter season in England, because the British Isles are located in the western part of Europe, on the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and have a typical temperate maritime climate.

On the one hand, under the influence of the prevailing westerly wind, it is mild and rainy all year round.

On the other hand, it is also related to the warm North Atlantic current that flows through it. Warm currents can warm and humidify the coast.

Therefore, the guests who came to visit today were more unlucky, and encountered foggy weather, and the whole of London was in a white sea of fog.

London is heavily foggy, mainly due to the humidity of the island nation.

In winter, London's rivers and lakes rarely freeze, and in November, the average temperature is above 8 degrees Celsius; Summers are quite cool, with an average temperature of 17 degrees in July, so you need to wear a coat when you go out in the morning and evening.

At present, the dense fog that is common in London is not entirely a natural phenomenon, and some steel mills and cotton mills have appeared on the banks of the current London River, and the rumbling black smoke has directly entered the city of London.

Coupled with the fact that civilians heat and burn charcoal in winter, London is even more foggy in winter.

Matthews. Grange was a gentleman in Chawell, Oxfordshire, and his family owned nearly 30,000 acres of land in Chawell, and was also a high-class figure in Chawell and Oxfordshire.

Recently, there has been a long queue of wool orders from Europa, but with only 20,000 acres of 30,000 acres of land suitable for farming, there is no longer enough wool production.

In order to make a lot of profits, his family had to enclose the land, otherwise the loss of these orders would affect the subsequent business, after all, there were not many other in England, and there were a lot of wool sellers.

This time he had come to London to get the ban on land to be abolished, so he brought five thousand pounds of gold from Chawell's house to pave the way for the ban to be lifted.

And his father, before he came to London, told him that even if he spent all the pounds, he would achieve his goal.

Matthews felt a little stuffy in the carriage, so with the support of the groom, he got out of the carriage, took a breath of air, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

It was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the fog had not yet dissipated, and it was hazy, and Matthews looked around, and there were carriages that had come to visit the Earl of Warwick in front of him and behind him, densely exposed with black spots, like the wool on a sheep's body, and he couldn't count them.

Suddenly, the carriage in front of him abruptly turned its head and left the front of the Earl's Court.

"You're Mr. Grange from Oxfordshire! Come in! His Excellency the Earl is waiting for you! Before he could sigh, he was stopped by the butler of the Earl's Court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are so sorry that my master is no longer in attendance today!"

"Yes! Be! I'm Matthews. Orange! Matthews didn't care about the people in front of the door who sighed for a long time, and hurriedly responded, very humble.

"Excuse me, Mr. Butler!" Matthews didn't dare to underestimate this butler.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gramch, it's my obligation!" The old housekeeper was also very polite, without the slightest domineering appearance.

Matthews was ushered into the parlor by Mr. Butler, which was very small, only about a hundred feet, and it was a very private place.

The space is very small, but the decoration is resplendent and looks very magnificent, and Matthews knows that the five hundred pounds he has sprinkled this time have not been spent in vain, and he is quite valued.

"May the Lord bless you, Your Excellency the Earl!" Matthews saw the Earl of Warwick who was about to get up to meet him, so he quickened up in three steps and two steps, and said to the Earl.

"May the Lord bless you too, decent gentleman!" Seeing Matthews, who was dressed appropriately and elegantly, Earl Warwick couldn't help but praise.

After the two greeted, they sat on the chair, Matthews sat very seriously, put himself in his place, and looked like he was listening.

"Mr. Gramch! I know what you're looking for me! Don't be in a hurry about this matter, when the lamb grows up, the wool will naturally be there! ”

The Earl was very gentle and comforting to him.

"But! Don't you know, this sheep eats grass and doesn't know moderation, and it tramples on the grass, and this grass is almost barren! ”

Matthews knew that this was the time to fight for acting, and there was a hint of crying in his tone, looking pitiful.

"Please save us poor grass! Your Excellency! ”

The Count knew that he had hung the gentlemen and nobles of these places long enough, and it was time to prepare to close the net.

"I sympathize with what happened to you, but, you know, there are fifteen members of the Regency Council!"

"I think! As long as you have your support, this time will be successful! ”

Matthews finally smiled a little, and the hint between his words was clear.

Hearing this, the Earl also smiled, he was a smart man, and of course he understood this shallow hint.
