My British Empire

Chapter 253 The Hottest Circuit Judges

The number of Catholic rebels reached 30,000, while the government army was less than half of them, and the advantage of numbers was brought to the extreme.

There are only two or three thousand people in the narrow front, but it is too much pressure to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of people.

His eyes were covered with binoculars, but Knight Alexander's beautiful eyebrows were frowned, with a very bad expression on his face.

Under his gaze, these mobs shouted loudly one by one, with ferocious faces, like devils from hell, regardless of casualties, one after another, charging the army, completely overwhelming them in terms of momentum.

He knew that he had miscalculated and was too cautious and conservative. He should not respond passively, but should use his powerful combat power to directly rush over and defeat this group of mobs forcefully!

Pursing his lips, Knight Alexander observed carefully and saw that the two hundred cavalry assembled by the rebels were completely trapped in the army. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he waved to Knight Baldwin who was doing the same.

"Your Excellency Company Commander, at present, the cavalry of the mob is completely abolished. Now, you immediately lead the cavalry, insert into the rebel army from behind, and disrupt their formation!"

"Afterwards, after we counterattack, use the speed of the horse to immediately take down the leader of the mob, and don't let them run away!"

"Yes, Mr. Commander!" Knight Baldwin saluted, and left quickly without saying a word.

In this regard, the Alexander knight's eyes moved slowly with his vigorous body, and then gradually retracted, and his eyes began to look at the fiercely confronting two armies again.

The two armies slowly became entangled, and the soldiers began to fight close to each other. Even the musketeers put down their matchlock guns and took up weapons to fight.

At this time, the longbowmen put away their large-scale projections and could only aim and shoot secretly.

At this time, the fanatical expressions on the faces of the rebels gradually dissipated, and their actions were no longer as intense as before.

Cavalier Baldwin rode a horse and led a cavalry force of 500 men, directly into the heart of the rebel army. The solid military spirit of the rebel army suddenly began to shake, and some people even began to look back frequently.

Seeing this, Knight Alexander knew that the time had come. He rode his horse, shouted slogans, and led the people around him to puff up and attack forward.

All the government troops saw that the bosses on their side had acted. At this time, more than 10,000 people took action, and the defensive position instantly turned into an offensive.

Virio rushed forward, clearly feeling the change in the momentum of the entire battlefield, he was suddenly startled, he understood that his own advantage no longer existed!

Like Virio's mood, England's calm waters are now turbulent, which is frightening.

East Sussex, a county separated from Sussex, was originally integrated with West Sussex (English name: East Sussex).

It is a county in the southeast of England, facing the English Channel in the south, with a strong commercial atmosphere, and its economy is at the forefront among the counties in England.

But in his security committee, he has been controlled by a group.

This group is different from the temporary union of the four major families such as Matthew, but a long-term political alliance that has lasted for generations, interests and friendship, allowing them to maintain a close relationship with each other.

If it was in the past, you asked Sir Thomas Pelham, what do you need to do in a day?

He will pinch his gray beard and say to you without hesitation: horseback riding, hunting, having dinner, reading a book

Simple and comfortable, for a person like him who has worked hard all his life, this is the most suitable life for him!

But now, if you want to ask him, he can only put on a bitter face, and still say to you without hesitation: Go to the Anti-Rowland Committee, go to the circuit court to see the judge.

That's right, when the incident in Oxfordshire came out, the whole of England was shaken. The people at the bottom were surprised by the boldness of the gentlemen, but the gentlemen were surprised by His Majesty's stern measures.

Visit casually on the street and people will unhesitatingly tell you which institution is hottest in East Sussex at the moment - the Circuit Court.

As the main figure of the Security Committee, Thomas Pelham has linked up with a group of relatives and friends, including Anthony Stapley, Henry Shelley, and several families headed by Thomas Parker, all of whom are his political allies. , Formed a security committee centered on him.

It can be said that the voice of His Excellency the Magistrate is not as loud as his in the Magistrate Committee.

And this situation has brought great benefits to their group, which has made this group more and more consolidated.

However, this situation was suddenly broken at this moment, and a movement of judicial enclosures swept across England, which had formed a political trend, and it could also be said to be a political catastrophe.

Originally, news came from Oxfordshire that Edward was going to ask the Palace Intelligence Service to review all enclosures in England in one fell swoop.

However, as soon as Jack heard that His Majesty the King had this idea, he immediately sent a letter, tactfully rejecting this opinion, indicating that the development of the Palace Intelligence Department was not enough, and his own ability was not enough to lead and provoke this nationwide movement.

It was only then that Edward came to his senses that the development of the Palace Intelligence Service was still unable to support this national clean-up activity, and the Blood Blade located in the intelligence center was too complicated to handle this matter.

Therefore, he could only let the Privy Council issue a decree in the name of the king to remove the other two circuit judges of the Southern England Circuit Court on the grounds of dereliction of duty and directly demote them to civilians.

And, three people were screened from the royal court in London, and three circuit judges were resent.

At this moment, the other five circuit judges were terrified, staring at Jack and his party in London and Oxfordshire, praying silently in their hearts.

At this time, a decree came from London.

The king's request: All circuit judges must conduct strict inspections, and within three years, they will play the role of circuit courts, and those gentlemen and nobles who have not paid the enclosure fee to the anti-enclosure committee will use the law to conduct necessary trials, according to the Oxford law. The county's sentence, as a case.

As a result, all the circuit judges could only keep their minds tight and non-stop convene all the families participating in the enclosure, and let them come to the court for trial at the prescribed time.

And as the central figure of the security committee, Thomas Pelham certainly wouldn't spit out the meat he ate, and even cut off the equivalent amount of meat as compensation.

This is not an easy thing to do.

However, he chose to invite the judges out for a serious and pleasant gathering before the trial period.

But the judges didn't have the guts to do so, so he could only come to the station of the circuit court in person, discussing and communicating again and again, hoping to reduce losses.
