In fact, the most capable person in London was Henry VII's 300 Guards Knights. Unfortunately, when Henry VII took his family to escape from the water, he used the remaining more than 200 Guards Knights as sailors, but he was defeated by the sailors of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, which had much lower combat power.
These guard knights do not have poor military strength, but are unstable on the deck of the swaying ship. The lower plate is unstable. What does it mean to compete with martial arts? It means falling, then being captured or killed...
If these more than 200 guards defended the Tower of London, they would probably be able to hold on for a long time. Even a fierce man like Kahn would be difficult to break through such a large group of the best guards in England. However, they were on the ship and then fell - about 260 knights, more than 60 people were killed on the spot, and more than 190 people were defeated and captured...
Apart from the most elite three hundred guards, they took two thousand seven hundred regular infantry. Unfortunately, Henry VII scattered them at four gates to supervise the sailors, but failed to gather together.
When the Tower of London was captured, the scattered infantry had no need to resist. The more irregular sailors were even less willing to continue fighting when the king was captured. When they heard that the Tower of London was captured, most of the defenders put down their weapons and surrendered, except for Richard Bohr.
Richard Pohl guarded the east gate with 700 regular infantry and a large number of sailors. When he learned that the Tower of London had been broken, his subordinates lost their fighting spirit, and only he led hundreds of trusted soldiers to resist.
Unfortunately, the east gate was blocked from the inside, and Richard Pole didn't even have a chance to escape. When Kahn arrived with Marin's guards, everything was destined - Richard Pole was knocked unconscious and carried away...
Then, the whole city of London became quiet and there were only sporadic resistance...
"What? This guy handed the poisonous wine to my sister himself?" When he heard the prisoner say this, Edward burst out directly:
"I'm going to kill this bastard! My sister is his wife. He actually sent my sister to death with her own hands!"
After saying that, Edward pulled out his sword and was about to go to the temporary prison to hack Richard Boer to death...
Marin hurriedly hugged Edward:
"Your Majesty, you are now the master of the Kingdom of England, so you can't be impulsive!"
"But that guy killed my sister! That's my only brother and sister, and it's my life-saving sister! Woo--" Edward couldn't help crying sadly when he thought of his sister who sacrificed his life to save his life...
After crying for a while, Edward suddenly said with a fierce look on his face:
"I'm going to kill Richard, this bastard! And that snitch Weber! By the way, where is that snitch Weber?" Edward asked with his sword.
Marin shook his head, and the others shook their heads... In fact, Weber had already escaped to the ship of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce by the sea under the cover of Marin's men. The one who covered Weber's departure was a guard of Marin. The guard changed Weber into a soldier's clothing and a hat for Marin's army, and took him to the dock and boarded the ship of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. At that time, it was messy and no one noticed it...
"Bastard! I actually let that guy run away! Go and search for the vicinity of the palace, and you must find this traitor!" Edward roared. But this was futile, because Marin had already sent someone to send Weber away by boat. Marin planned to send Weber to America and change his name...
"If you can't catch Weber, then I'll kill Richard and Henry!" Edward said angrily.
"Your Majesty!" Marin said loudly:
"You are now the true king of a country and can't be willful anymore. The state has laws. If you want to kill Henry and Richard, you must pass the judgment to kill them!"
"Judgement? Why?" Edward was a little puzzled.
Marin said seriously:
"Only the people will feel at ease if the people have laws and regulations. If the people are uneasy, they may be encouraged to rebel by those who are interested. Therefore, Your Majesty, you must establish laws and regulations to make society stable and support the people!"
"Only the people will feel at ease with the state..." Edward fell into deep thought after repeating Marin's words...
After a long time, Edward woke up and said gratefully:
"Mr. Marin, you said so well. You are such a genius!"
"This is not my creativity, but what my teacher Einstein said..." Marin fooled casually. In fact, this is just an interpretation of "ruling the country according to law" in later generations.
"Einstein is such a wise man!" Edward said with reverence.
"In fact, this was not what my teacher, Einstein, thought of, but what he saw in the Eastern Empire..." Marin decided to tell Edward a story...
"Seeing and hearing from the East?" Edward was a little curious.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let me tell you a story from more than 1,700 years ago..."
"Please tell me!" Edward knew that Marin was probably talking about the way to govern the country. Moreover, he was also very interested in Master Einstein's Eastern experiences.
"The story I told is called 'Three Chapters of the Constitution of Law'..." Then, Malin told Edward in detail the story of Emperor Gaozu of Han entering Xianyang and "Three Chapters of the Constitution of Law" with the elders of Guanzhong...
"Through the Three Chapters of Laws, Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han Empire, quickly won the trust of the people of Guanzhong. Later, he established his capital in Guanzhong and relied on the army formed by the local people to shock the world and create a great Han Empire that was even bigger than Western Europe..."
After hearing this, Edward was fascinated. As a king, he was most interested in the stories of these great ancient emperors:
"'Three chapters of law'... The murderer died, injured people and theft were punished... so simple... the effect is really that good?"
"Of course, Your Majesty regards the people as human beings and is willing to protect them with the law, and they will also be willing to be loyal to Your Majesty. There is a saying in the East that 'If the king treats his ministers as brothers and feet, then the minister treats his king as a heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats his king as a countryman; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats his king as a enemy'... Although the three chapters of law are simple, it reflects that His Majesty cherishes the lives of the people, and they will be grateful and obedient..."
"If the king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the minister treats his king as his heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats his king as a countryman; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats his king as an enemy..." Edward murmured to himself. After a long time, he said:
"Oriental culture is really profound! But..." Edward suddenly turned around:
"How should I kill Henry and his lackeys? According to the current law, there are no relevant terms for executing them..."
"Then you will revise the law. However, before that, you need to make three rules with the people to stabilize the society. Otherwise, if there is continuous turmoil, you, the king, will be unstable."
