Only 6,000 people were selected, which clearly did not meet Marin's expectations. Therefore, Marin intends to think of other ways. For example, I hit my idea on those Scotsmen who carried military food with the army, but finally followed the captured ...
Marin came to the Minzhuang camp, and then found an interpreter to check his account. Why check your account? This is also a way for Marin to select troops ...
"What? Are you from Highland County? Very good, tidy up and report to the barracks!" The interpreter responsible for registration asked the account of the captured prisoners. As long as I heard that it was from Highland County, I would accept it all.
However, there are only more than a thousand people in the Highland County, and Marin still has not enough people. As a result, he once again relaxed the requirements-the people of the hukou of the southern border county of Scotland were also closed. Because, since then, Marin will be the lord of the southern border county, and these people are regarded as "own people". However, there are still not enough people ...
In desperation, Marin had no choice but to let the remaining minions compete. Then, the old rules-stay brave and unyielding, timidly get out, useless to win ...
In the end, Marin finally gathered 10,000 horses, and began to break up the reorganization, intending to retrain. But Edward came to the door again and expressed his dissatisfaction and worry ...
It turned out that among the nearly 10,000 Scottish regular army prisoners, Marin only picked 6,000 people to leave, leaving 3,000 or 4,000 people left. However, these people who were eliminated by Marin are Edward's most noble officers and veterans ...
In this way, the benefits of Marin ’s recruiting were eaten, but the Scottish officers who were the instability factors were all returned to Edward ...
Speaking of which, when rebelling, although those people picked up by Marin were the main force. However, the leaders were all those noble officers who were eliminated by Marin ... Even if those who were not picked up by Marin participated in the rebellion, they can still confuse other Scots to participate in the rebellion ...
In other words, Marin was very happy this time, but he didn't help Edward solve the problem! Therefore, Edward came to the door and asked for sin ...
"Well, it's true that I didn't think about it ..."
Marin thought for a long time, and finally thought of the solution-
"Your Majesty, so, these people are indeed risky to put back. It is better that you, in the name of the King of Scotland, organize them into an independent army of four thousand people and send them to Ireland?"
"Send to Ireland?" Edward was puzzled.
"Yes, sent to Ireland. These people, especially those aristocratic officers, are only dangerous if they stay in Scotland. If they are stationed on the island of Ireland, then their threatening ability will be greatly reduced! The plan to unify the island of Ireland. The officers and men of thousands and 3,000 veterans are also used to conquer the indigenous forces on the island of Ireland ... "
"That being said, you don't look down on them. Are you sure they have the strength to defeat the indigenous people on the Irish island?" Edward expressed doubts about this ...
Marin smiled:
"Your Majesty, the minister did not expect these people to unify the island of Ireland. Besides, what if they could not beat the natives? Whether they killed the natives or the natives killed them, it is a good thing for your majesty! Because both sides are actually the people your majesty wants to get rid of! "
"Hmm ... what you said makes sense, how do you do it specifically? Also, what do they refuse to do?"
"Specifically, after your coronation, in the name of the King of Scotland, they were ordered to form a small army of four thousand people and stationed on the border between the Kingdom of Kings on the Irish island and the local indigenous control zone. Then, they secretly ordered these people To provoke and harm those indigenous forces, so as to anger those indigenous people ... "
"Then, if those indigenous people were really irritated, then it would be best. At that time, the indigenous people will definitely send troops. If these Scottish officers and veterans defeat each other, you just receive those sites. Then, according to the points of merit To those heroes. If the Aborigines defeated them, it ’s easy to handle. You can send another army to attack the Aborigines who sent troops. After all, those Scottish officers and veterans are their own family, they are beaten, your king is a helper It ’s normal to make an early start, and the reasons are good ... "
"As far as they refuse? That is the best thing to do. Anyway, they are still prisoners. If they refuse, they will continue to be locked in the name of" opposing the king ". As long as they remain locked, they will not be able to return to the country to organize rebellion against you. ... "
After listening to it, Edward thought about it and said with satisfaction:
"Very good, just do it!"
...
After another period of time, the fleet of the Fourth Army just passed the Thames estuary and was ordered to suspend London Wharf by Marin. Then, Edward and his wife, Queen Anna, followed Marin to board the troop carrier of the Fourth Army and followed Edinburgh to the north. Guarded by the Fourth Army, Edward did not have to worry about security.
After arriving in Edinburgh, under the shameless touted and "admonishment" of a group of surrendering Scottish nobles, Edward "reluctantly" accepted the temporary throne of Scotland, and let the Bishop of Edinburgh be crowned as "Agent of Scotland" ...
Strictly speaking, without the recognition of the Holy See, the coronation ceremony of Edward is actually not legal. But regardless of him, anyway, Edward was crowned not the official king, but the acting king ...
Moreover, the Holy See is actually partial to him-the Holy See stated that if Margaret could not provide conclusive evidence that she and John Stewart were not involved in the murder of James IV within five years, the Holy See would recognize Edward as the King of Scotland ... …
Without daring to return to Scotland, how difficult was it for Margaret to find evidence to cleanse herself and John Stewart? So ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The Holy See ’s move is also partial to Edward ...
Ascended to the throne as queen, the next thing is to reward the three armies. As the number one contributor to the military, Marin has a natural harvest-a frontier county with an area of more than 4,700 square kilometers and close to Marin's current enclosure in Northumberland, England, plus a highland county with an area of more than 25,000 square kilometers ... …
And, along with the two huge blocks of land, there are also titles-Earl of Scotland Border and Earl of Scotland Highlands ...
Then, it was the award of the specific heroes such as Sakara and Siwag. However, Edward is very cunning. He believes that since both men are under Marin, most of their credit goes to Marin. Then, their fiefs should also be in Marin's fief ...
As a result, both Saqqara and Siwag were awarded the title of Vice Count (Viscount). But the two of them were all arranged in Marin's. Moreover, Edward also cunningly asked Marin to arrange for himself ...
Marin could not treat his men badly, so the Viscount of Sakala was sealed near the richest Inverness in Highland County (excluding Inverness). And the Viscount of Siwag, in a river valley area in the southern border county of Scotland, is not bad ...
