Chapter 253 Hot Circuit Judges

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

On the narrow front, there are only two to three thousand people, but it has to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of people wave after wave, and the pressure is too much.

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

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, 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 abruptly!

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!" Cavalier Baldwin saluted, and left quickly without saying a word.

In response to this, Knight Alexander'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 of 500 men, directly into the heart of the rebels. The rebels' solid military spirit 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 began to attack forward.

All the government troops saw that the bosses on their side had taken action. 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 exists!

The same mood as Virio, England's calm waters are now turbulent, which is frightening.

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

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

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-Rowage Committee, go to the circuit court to see the judge.

That’s right, when the Oxfordshire incident 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.

Take a random street visit and people will tell you without hesitation 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 Justice 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 enclosure swept England, which has formed a political trend, and it can 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 Service was not enough, and his own ability was not enough to lead and provoke this nationwide movement.

Edward finally came to his senses. The development of the Palace Intelligence Office was still unable to support this national clean-up activity, and the components of the Blood Blade located in the intelligence center were too complicated to handle this matter.

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

And, from the Crown Court in London, screen three people and re-send three circuit judges.

All of a sudden, 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 strictly inspect, and within three years, they will play the role of circuit courts, and those gentlemen and nobles who have not paid the enclosure fees to the anti-enclosure committee will use the law to conduct necessary trials, according to Oxford 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 stipulated time.

As the central figure of the security commissioner, Thomas Pelham certainly wouldn't spit out the meat he ate, and even cut off the equivalent amount of meat to make compensation.

This is not an easy thing to do.

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. He could only come to the station of the circuit court in person to talk and communicate again and again, hoping to reduce losses.
