Chapter 1015 The Second Great Cleanup
As time passed, the sky gradually became brighter, but the battle in London did not stop at all. General Krish and his 5,000 regular troops were searching every corner of London, looking for the remnants of the Tudor dynasty in black and holding a knife.
Even the new guards who were originally crippled in the first and second platoons were energetic in London, entering every alley, searching every house, and looking for all suspicious objects.
Although these new recruits in the Imperial Guard could not defeat the swordsmen in black. However, the situation was different at this time. In order to escape, the people in black had already escaped in all directions and had no fighting spirit. Therefore, even the weak new recruits in the Imperial Guard dared to arrest them. At most, a few people chased one or two people in the family. In this way, there would be no accident.
As for Commander Jennas, who had been injured in many places, he worked hard to search for any suspicious people. Originally, his subordinates advised him to go to treatment. But Jennas knew that his performance was average before. At this time, he could only give Edward a better impression of him. Moreover, the injuries he had suffered before were not fatal, and at most a little painful. Also, if he insisted on catching the fugitive with blood and then went to Edward to report, he would leave a better impression on Edward...
...
As for King Edward of England, he was sitting on the throne in the Tower of London Palace, and was also soothing his mood.
Previously, when the shouts of killing sounded on Data Street in the middle of the night, Edward was very nervous. Even Edward wanted to take his wife and daughter out of the south gate to escape from the Thames on a boat. In this regard, Edward and Jones had similar back-ups.
However, Jones and others fled to France. If Edward planned to escape, he would not have to run so far, just run to the camp west of the city to take refuge. Or, it would be fine to go to Newcastle. After all, his army had not disappeared. As long as there was an army, it would be easier to fight back to London.
After calming down, Edward's eyes emitted a gleam of sensation. He called the commemorative officer and ordered:
"I passed my order that all the young men in London must be reviewed. Anyone who has no one to prove his identity will be detained first. If the identity and motive can be found out in the future, they can only be released if they cannot be found out. If they cannot be found out, they will be executed!"
"yes!"
"Also, local middle-aged men in London will also check their bodies to see if there are any knife injuries. If there are any knife injuries, they will be detained and interrogated, find out the cause, and see if they are those gang members involved in the rebellion!"
"yes!"
After a pause, Edward said again:
"I remember Marin said that people who often use swords have calluses on their tiger's mouths, which is a symbol of frequent use of weapons... Well, it's not right. Those blacksmiths and other tiger's mouths also have cocoons... Let's do this, all strong men and men who see cocoons on their tiger's mouths will be arrested first and find out the reason! Those who cannot explain the origin will be killed!"
"clear!"
...
With the issuance of these orders, the city of London once again caused a bloody storm.
Unlike the first major purge, this time all ordinary middle-aged men have to be investigated. Any suspicious person with injuries on his body or with cocoons on his mouth is within the scope of investigation. Even several foreign embassies have been searched.
Then, none of the foreign swordsmen who were foolish and fleeing were easily captured. These people were not familiar with London. After the defeat, they ran around like headless flies in the city of London, and easily fell into the encirclement of the Fifth Legion soldiers or new guards.
At this time, even the gangsters from the originally cowardly third party formation came out to help arrest. The defeated soldiers of the Fourth and Fifth Legions who were dispersed gathered again to participate in the arrest work.
Although, after this battle, the new recruits of the Imperial Guards of the Third, Fourth and Fifth Square formations, who performed poorly, will definitely be removed. However, if you make some contributions before the abolition, King Edward will not treat them unfairly.
Edward has promised that if he performs well, these people can receive certain rewards. Those who perform well can even serve as police officers in the local area. The police may be a P in London. But in the local area, the police officers are more powerful than the urban management team in later generations. This position is actually a combination of police officers and urban management teams in later generations, and they are quite awesome in local areas. Therefore, for such a position, those gangsters were also considered to be a fight. The previous cowardly appearance disappeared immediately, and it was very hard to catch people.
Edward suddenly felt a little regretful - he would have made this promise in advance if he had known it. In this way, the gangster recruits might perform better.
But after thinking about it, it was unrealistic. Because Edward made such a promise in advance, he would tell the new guards that they were just a cover. If the news was learned by the remnants of the Tudor dynasty, the enemy might have retreated.
Jenas's desperate efforts were finally rewarded - given that he was desperate in preventing the enemy from attacking the Tower of London Palace, and after the fugitives were caught, he finally got the knight title that he got what he wanted, and there was also a fief of a manor. Although there was only 600 acres of fief, which was incomparable to the large fief of the French knights, which was often 1,500 acres, and could not catch up with the thousands of acres of fief of the German Knights. However, this allowed Jenas' family to step into the ranks of nobles from a civilian family without a surname. In the future, as long as his children practice martial arts well and learn formal military knowledge, they would have the opportunity to join the army and serve as an officer. His family had the basis for their rise...
...
Edward's order to arrest indiscriminately made everyone in the city of London dangerous. He originally escaped more than 3,000 men in black, but he caught more than 2,000 middle-aged men back.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! What made Metner, the leader of the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, laugh and cry was that the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce was also caught this time...
The spies from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were also arrested thirty people during this arrest. These people were originally the backbone of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce lurking in London, responsible for inquiring about London news. As a result, they were accidentally arrested because they had calluses on their hands or had sword injuries on their bodies.
Metner had no choice but to ask Edward to explain their identities...
"Well? They are from your country? They are all English in terms of household registration information..." Edward was a little confused. At the same time, he was also a little vigilant - why did Marin put so many eyes and ears in London? What did he want to do...
Fortunately, Metner was prepared. In the meantime, he took out a roster and dedicated it to Edward, and explained:
"Your Majesty, since the fall of the Tudor dynasty, we are also helping to inquire about the remnants of the Tudor dynasty. So, we have hired these natives in England as temporary workers to help us find out the news. After all, it is more convenient for locals to inquire about the news than for us foreigners. You see, this is the list of the remnants of the Tudor dynasty we have found..."
"Temporary worker..." If Marin was here, he would probably not be able to laugh out loud. Because the word "temporary worker" is the special name for "the scapegoat"...
In fact, there were hundreds of spies in London at the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. However, these more than 30 people were not hidden well and happened to be caught. There were more than 60 people who were not discovered because they were hidden well. Even in the Tower of London, there were several spies from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce lurking.
It is not easy for the Beihai Chamber of Commerce to train a few spies, and Metner is reluctant to let those spies go. He plans to bring back the more than thirty people and then arrange another job.
They couldn't stay in London City and were recognized. So, they should be sent to other places in England. Just in time, they also exchanged a group of spies from other places in England to London.
However, this time, Edward discovered more than 30 spies, which was very unpaid. Because Edward would definitely be on guard against Marin...
...
As for the other 6,000 arrested people, Edward is not polite. Regardless of whether you are innocent or not, you should serve with a whip first. Even if you are innocent, you have to be punished. The cruel officials also tried to find useful clues from these people as their capital for promotion...
