Chapter 263 Migration (2)
ps: At the end of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscription
Sir John squeezed out a smile on his face, nodded to the few people who came to greet him, and remained motionless.
Among the big families present, his age and prestige are the biggest among the big families, and only he can afford it.
"Your Excellency, you are finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
By the side, Sir Began Thomas with golden curly hair took a few steps, getting closer to Sir John. He had a cautious and ingratiating expression on his face, and asked someone else what was on their minds.
"Our big families are connected, and we are going to London soon. I am not familiar with life, do you have any advice?"
As he spoke, Sir Thomas raised his head, looking hopefully at Sir John who looked calm in front of him.
Others The helmsmen of the two major families also raised their heads, and like Sir Thomas, their eyes focused on him expectantly.
No wonder they are like this. Once they leave Oxford, they will take off their protective clothing and show themselves naked in front of the nobles and London dignitaries. If they go without preparation, they will be the fat on the table. At the mercy of others.
So, the other three families, who were full of worries, urgently needed a way to preserve their property.
So, the first thing that came to their minds was the figure of Sir John. The three of them had no choice but to turn to Sir John for help.
Seeing the patriarchs of the three major families plead so respectfully, Sir John felt a little comfort in his heart. The John family is still the head of the four major families, but this is far from enough.
The crack at the corner of Sir John's mouth is getting wider and wider. Under the sun, the smile on his face is extraordinarily bright and mysterious.
Thinking silently in his heart, such a position is not stable. After the other three families get through the difficulties, the position of the head of the John family will become history.
In this period of crisis and opportunity, securing one's family in a leadership position is the top priority.
In the eyes of Sir Thomas and others, Sir John, who is famous for his wisdom, had a smile on his face that made them uneasy, and he felt a little flustered in his heart.
However, when the family is overthrown, no matter how much profit it loses, there will still be time to earn it back later.
The three gritted their teeth in their hearts, and when they were about to accept a series of unequal treaties from Sir John, Sir John finally spoke.
"Everyone, this is not the time to talk, let's wait until we get on the boat!"
Sir John didn't say much, he just glanced sideways at the nearby guards and said in a mysterious manner.
"Yes, this is indeed not a good place!" Sir Matthew knew that Sir John already had a plan in his heart when he heard that, and his nervous heart suddenly fell back, and he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Others also understood what Sir John meant, let go of their nervousness, and turned their eyes around. It is indeed inappropriate to discuss such an important matter in a large crowd, so they all nodded in agreement.
At the side, Ronaldo John saw his father surrounded by everyone, so he just glanced at it, and then directed the servants to carry it to the boat that belonged to his family.
The cold east wind blows slowly, with the chill of winter, greeting everyone cordially.
Sir John and the others were just about to board the ship. At this moment, there were bursts of crying in the distance, much stronger than the four major families.
Hearing the sound of crying, Sir John couldn't help but glanced at the unpretentious carriages, dragging their families, walking towards the convoy. The crying of women and children was endless, and even became more and more intense. direction.
The guards from the circuit court turned a deaf ear to them, watching them blankly, not moving a bit.
Seeing this, Sir John couldn't help frowning, and the crying and screaming disturbed him.
Sir Matthew, who was watching him from the sidelines, immediately raised his head when he saw him like this, and explained in a pitiful tone: "Your Excellency, these are the other twenty-two small families who will be judged with us!"
“Although their goal is the same as ours, they are rushing to London, but their purpose is different from ours. We are London, but they are an Irish island full of barbarians!”
As soon as Sir Matthew finished speaking, several people, including Sir John, looked ugly, and they all felt the same way.
It's not that their families are powerful, His Majesty the King dare not go too far with them, otherwise, the same scene awaits them.
were relocated to Ireland, worrying about being attacked by the barbarians all day long, and the place is in a barren state, lacking everything, they would rather go to Scotland than to go to Ireland.
Several people looked at the group of sad people boarding the ship one after another with pity eyes, feeling inexplicably sad in their hearts.
"Everyone, if we don't unite, the final result will be nothing more than this, and it will be even more unbearable!"
After being silent for a while, Sir John took this opportunity to explain to everyone the scene they were about to face, and planted a nail in everyone's hearts, thus giving them an advantage in the next negotiation.
Then, Sir John took a last look, led everyone to the room on the ship, and started an important discussion with several other people.
On the other side, twenty-two small families whose destination was Ireland came to the Thames River one after another, weeping and boarding the ship to London, and then waited for London's arrangement to go to the northern part of Ireland controlled by England for a generation.
Of course, Edward also knows that direct migration, if there is no benefit, anyone will have strong complaints.
In order to dissipate the strong grievances in their hearts, His Majesty the King allowed the claim to be reduced by half, and will also sell part of the Irish land belonging to the royal family to them at half the price of the land in England, so as to comfort their wounded hearts.
That's why they walked onto the boat crying, instead of the army crushing them directly onto the boat. The difference between the two is huge.
Of course, they are only the first batch of people, not the last batch.
After more than three hours of deliberation, the four major families finally reached a consensus, and first determined the leadership of the John family (Note: Established without infringing on the interests of other families).
Afterwards, there was a series of marriages and interest exchanges, using interests as the link to establish the alliance of the four major families.
Of course, this alliance must be disbanded because of the combination of interests. This is the result sooner or later.
Sir John also knew that, unlike other people, he believed that although arriving in London, although it was accompanied by danger, it was also accompanied by opportunity.
If you lead this alliance, then the interests of the John family can be maximized.
