My British Empire

  Chapter 55 Credentials from England

  Duke Edward not only accepted the gaze of the Earl of Warwick, but after he left, the whole person seemed to have not seen it, and continued with his own topic.

   "The Earl of Warwick is going back because he is unwell! Let's make some arrangements..."

  Looking at the eloquent Duke Edward, the Earl of Wellington couldn't help but think of their conversation last night.

  Living room, two chairs, a table, and two cups of hot green tea on the table.

Duke Edward and the Earl of Wellington sat face to face. His Excellency the Duke had already explained his interests to him, but he was still reluctant to let his only heir take part in the war. If something went wrong, the Earl of Wellington would be removed from his name. .

  Seeing that Earl Wellington was still so hesitant, Duke Edward suddenly thought of a good idea.

   "Dear Mr. Earl, I wonder if you intend to become a general?"

   "What does this mean! My lord duke!" Earl Wellington couldn't figure out why he was involved because it was his nephew's business.

   "You are a general now, and your nephew is just a small company commander. Isn't his action under your control?" Edward could only point out his own thoughts, so that Earl Wellington could understand better.

   "It's okay, but I have never commanded an army. Will the ministers agree?" The earl thought for a moment, and felt that he could not only keep his nephew, but also make meritorious deeds. Where can such a good thing be found?

   "And I am more familiar with Scotland, you just need to follow my command!" Duke Edward said broadly, his face full of confidence. Duke Edward was ordered to sack Edinburgh in 1544, forcing it to sign a treaty.

   In fact, as a nobleman handed down for hundreds of years, the Earl has never eaten pork, has he not seen a pig running?

  The earl still believes in the strength of the Duke of Somerset. He did not rely on nepotism as rumored outside.

  The Duke served as Lord of the Navy in 1542, and led troops to invade Scotland in 1544 and plundered Edinburgh (1544). He fought against France at Boulogne in 1545 and achieved another brilliant victory.

   This happy day passed quickly. Duke Edward celebrated with a group of supporters in his mansion. The young and beautiful maids carried fine wine among the nobles, and the Duke's mansion became a sea of ​​joy.

  As for the Earl of Warwick's mansion, the Earl is communicating with his buddies, and from time to time, his group of allied interests will curse the Duke of Edward.

  The passing maids hurried away, for fear of getting into any trouble, after all, for little people like them, they didn't care about death.

   "I say! I can no longer trust Edward, the son of a low-ranking nobleman. A guy covered in mud is not worthy of trust!"

  The Marquis of Dorset on the side said indignantly that for a hereditary nobleman like him, he looked down on Edward Seymour the most because of nepotism, so he was the first to speak.

   "My Lord Marquis, you can't say that. From the perspective of Duke Seymour's incident, we are not without gains. At least it can show that he has completely broken with us, and we will be enemies in the future!"

  Sir Bangor Edmund carefully analyzed it from the side, and said something very reasonable.

  Regarding Sir Bangor's words, the Earl nodded involuntarily, a little to express his approval of the statement, and then nodded for him to continue.

   "Although Duke Seymour has set us up, we can use it cleverly!"

   "Isn't the Earl in charge of logistics! We can hand over most of the purchases to the local nobles, so that although the Earl has no military exploits, he can still befriend the nobles!"

   Sir Bangor was encouraged, so he couldn't help but continue to speak boldly, with the temperament of a strategist.

  After listening to Sir Bangor's words, and then looking at the earl's expression, the Marquis of Dorset, who had a disdainful expression on his face, suddenly became exciting and happy.

   "Yes! Yes! Yes! That's it, Sir Bangor is right!" For the Marquess of Dorset, grass on the wall is a good word, and it is also the foundation of his family's long-term standing.

   "My Lord Earl, Sir Bangor is right, he thinks the same as me!"

   "Okay! That's it! You go back first!" Hearing this, the Earl had the original serious expression on his face, but he already had an idea in his heart.

   "Finally—, Sir Bangor stay!" The earl thought for a while, and finally chose to keep Sir Bangor, which attracted a series of surprised voices from everyone sitting. Apparently, Sir Bangor had spoken the earl's heart.

   This night, no one knew what the Earl of Warwick and Sir Bangor had said, and it was also an unusual night.

  The next day, the Privy Council of England sent a government notice to Edinburgh in the north.

"Respected Queen Mother Mary de Guise, in view of the provisions of the "Greenwich Treaty" signed by the late king and your country, please let Your Majesty Queen Mary I of your country move to England to marry our respected Majesty Edward Hall, now please send Her Majesty the Queen to England, we will conduct an engagement ceremony for the two Majesties! I also sincerely invite you to come to England to attend the engagement ceremony..."

  The middle-aged female officer read aloud the letter from London, looking at Her Majesty the Queen Mother who was resting with her eyes closed from time to time.

After listening to this letter from England, Her Majesty the Queen Mother stretched her waist, revealing a seductive curve, coupled with the ripeness of being in her thirties, on the end was a ripe peach .

  From the surname, it can be seen that Her Majesty the Queen Mother is a nobleman from France. She has a resolute and brave character.

  The marriage of Edward and Queen Mary came from 1544. Under the arrangement of King Henry VIII, Britain and the Soviet Union signed the "Greenwich Treaty" in 1543, stipulating that Mary would marry the British prince Edward - that is, Edward VI, and England and Scotland would form an alliance. If the two have no descendants, the alliance will naturally disintegrate. But the Church of Scotland refused to ratify the treaty.

  In this war in history, after the Duke of Somerset defeated the Scottish army, he searched all over Edinburgh but could not find Queen Mary, which made the Duke return with hatred.

  At that time, the 5-year-old Queen Mary was hidden by the Queen Mother in the secret room of Stirling Castle, and then was hurriedly taken to France, where she was engaged to the 3-year-old French Crown Prince Francois.

  For the next ten years, the Queen Mother of Scotland, Mary de Guise, ruled Scotland with the assistance of a French army, like a province of France.

  Catholics in Scotland supported the rule of France, while Protestants gradually adopted a pro-British stance-how Protestantism in England benefited the aristocracy, many Scottish nobles had the opportunity to observe, so they joined Protestantism one after another.
