Chapter 47: Bojasteburg

Pojist Castle is a medieval castle that occupies a commanding position in Portsmouth Harbour and has been the main defense of the Solent Strait for hundreds of years.

The castle was originally built in the late 3rd century as the only Roman fortress in Northern Europe.

Later, as a Saxon stronghold, a magnificent castle was built in the 12th century. The castle of Pojast was located on the front lines of the entire Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, and was also a staging point for expeditions to France and cross-channel raids. In 1396, Richard II converted the castle into a palace.

So the castle presented to Edward was dilapidated, wide, and mediocre.

And the middle-aged man of the Night Angel, who was kneeling in front of Edward, had already cleaned up the room at Bojast Castle in advance.

Of course, this is also the result of Edward's original orders, otherwise the newly established Night Angels would not be so proactive.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate Ed. Worthen is here! The thin man Ed knelt in front of the carriage with an excited face, his tone full of excitement.

"Oh! You are Ed of the Night Angels. Worthen? Edward stepped out of the carriage, looked at the thin man kneeling on one knee in front of him, and couldn't help but confirm.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I was sent to Hampshire by Captain Ham a month ago, and have been stationed in Hampshire for a long time! Ed pointed to the little man beside him, "This is Andre, now in charge of liaison!" ”

"He's clever! Your Majesty, if you have anything, you can contact us! Ed introduced Andre and complimented him by the way.

"So, dear Ed, you are Ed who won first place last time. Worthen bar! I have also issued you the appointment of centurions. Can you tell me a little bit about our Navy? Edward said to Eddard, to his direct subordinates, Edward was very polite, and there was no arrogance in his tone.

"As for Andrei, please show us the way!" Edward said this, and Ed naturally couldn't object. And the little man Andrei very consciously walked ahead and led the way.

As for the guards and maids, they also consciously followed behind, walking silently.

"Your Majesty! The Navy currently has 57 warships, of which 11 are large Karak, known as "big ships", and more than 15 are Calais and Calais. ”

"And with a scale of 2,000 men, this is the most powerful English navy in history!"

Ed's voice was full of admiration, and he seemed excited by the strength of England.

"So which nobleman is the strongest in the navy?" Edward asked. This was an opportunity to test Ed, after all, it was a difficult thing to figure out the situation in the Navy in such a short time.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has figured it out! Ed looked at Edward's face and said cautiously.

"For the time being, the second son of the Earl of Southampton, James Brown, is in the Navy. Rio Shesley! Ed also paid attention to Edward's steps, bowing respectfully to Edward.

"He is the most powerful captain in the navy, and in addition to mastering the 'Sovereign', he indirectly controls almost a quarter of the ships!"

"Yes! I remember that the Leo Shesley family's Southampton was not far from Portsmouth! Edward interjected suddenly.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Your wisdom shines brighter than the sun in the sky! I admire your memory very much! ……”

"That's it! Stop! Edward sounded comfortable, but stopped him.

"Yes! Be! Be! "Ed didn't expect that the king would dislike the sycophants, this is not normal! Resisting the curiosity in his heart, Ed responded cautiously.

"Oh! The Earl of Southampton actually sent his own son to the navy? ”

"Your Majesty! The fleet of the Earl family has been doing business with France, and it is said that the annual profit is as high as tens of thousands of pounds! Ed said, with a look of envy, his eyes flashing with an unknown color!

At that time, almost all the nobles of all countries joined the army, especially as senior generals in the army, and the navy at that time was almost composed of pirates and coastal fishermen, and except for Spain and Portugal, no nobleman liked the navy.

At present, Prince Henry of Portugal is almost the only one who personally participated in the naval expedition as a nobleman, and there are very few other nobles.

Slowly the two walked into the castle, Edward looked, although the interior was very dilapidated, but it was very neat and clean, it could be seen that Ed had put his heart into it.

"Ed! You're good! Hopefully I'll see your family in the Bureau of Heraldry in London! Edward praised Eddard.

"Your Majesty! Please tell Andrei if there is something to do, and he will inform me! It is my pleasure to serve you! When Ed got Edward's hint, his whole body was cheerful.

"Your Majesty! I'll quit first! Ed bent back, turned around and said to Andre in a stern tone, "Andre! Serve your Majesty well! ”

In England, the heraldic bureau was the place where nobles registered their family coats of arms, even low-end nobles such as knights and knights. Otherwise, nobility is not recognized.

Ed walked excitedly back to his home, a rental house in the heart of Portsmouth.

The house Ed rented is on the second floor, and the first thing you need to do is go through a wooden staircase, which I don't know if it hasn't been repaired for a long time.

Every time Ed walked up the stairs, he could hear the muffled sound of the plank, as if it was about to collapse, which made people panic a little.

Through the stairs, Ed walked through a narrow corridor to the top, where the Ed family rented an apartment.

When you open the door, you can see that although the room is small, the contents are well organized, and even the children's toys are placed on the shelves.

"Is that you? Ed! Ed asked, hearing his wife, Mary, cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"Yes! Mary! It's me Ed. Worthen! Ed replied and asked, "Where are my Ina and Rodin?" ”

"They're playing with the rubber balls you bought in the room!" Ed seemed to be able to hear Mary's joy. After all, life is much better now than before, and the reward system set by Edward makes them look forward to life.

When dinner was neatly arranged, the family of four came to pray before eating, and even four-year-old Ina and two-year-old Rodin did it decently.

Ed picks up the bread he has made from rye and barley in front of him and puts it in his mouth! While eating, we chatted.

"Mary! His Majesty is here today! ”

"Yes! How did you deal with the situation? ”

Mary couldn't wait to ask, obviously, Mary was very important about her husband's future.

"Nothing?" Ed pretended not to care, but the joy on his face betrayed him, "He said he was looking forward to seeing my family in the heraldic bureau!" ”
