Chapter 14 A New Vocabulary
Prince Edward bowed on the throne and then announced the following to the nobles.*/www.//*
"There is a great war in Europe now. Princess Geriel promised me that it will train a 5,000-man musketeer. I believe that in the future, this army will definitely be a powerful and powerful armed force. Therefore, Count Simon de Mondford, I want you to be the commander of this army and go to Europe with me to meet with that Majesty!"
Simon De Mondford did not expect that Prince Edward and Princess Qili would make such arrangements. I think it was probably because of the Princess Qili who went to meet her husband and needed a guaranteed force. There were 5,000 musketeers, among which the term musket was something that Simon De Mondford didn't know much about.
Although he heard that the merchants from Genoa and Venice said that the emperor from the East used a tube-shaped firearm. Although it was not as silent as a bow and arrow, it could not stop any armor when it was shot. However, there was no word "musket" in English at this moment, so his eyes couldn't help but look at Princess Qili. Since it was her husband's equipment, she always understood it.
Sure enough, facing the puzzled gazes of the nobles, Princess Qili cleared her voice because of a cold and still had a hoarse voice.
"Mustgun is a tubular firearm that uses gunpowder. When it can form a horizontal lineup for gathering fire, it is basically time for the cavalry to be eliminated!"
When Count Simon de Mondford heard Princess Geriel's arrogance, he was shocked. If the cavalry was not the opponent of infantry, people like him who often participated in wars naturally understood that the style of war would change. If the spearhead composed of knights was eliminated, then this 5,000-man musketeer would be the most powerful armed force in England in the future.
Earl Simon de Mondford stroked his delicate beard with satisfaction to cover up the smile on his mouth. Yes, such a good thing, don't let others take it away, the loss will be too great. Therefore, he immediately came to Prince Edward and expressed his loyalty to him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I do not know how to express my gratitude. Your trust is so important to me, such glory, Your Highness. I caress my heart and swear to God that I will be your most loyal servant!"
Of course, this performance is a bit like a farce, but the nobles with him are sighing in their hearts. The Earl of Simon de Mondford in front of him has gained the trust of Prince Edward. When he was in charge of the 5,000 musketeers in the future, in England's eyes, his status is probably going to rise again.
Standing opposite the nobles were Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, and Tucker and others. When he heard the promotion of Count Simon De Mondford, the envy in Nottingham County, was naturally indescribable. However, he was confident that he was the first person to be loyal to Prince Edward and fought a battle with Count Simon De Mondford for his safety, so he should naturally have a better position.
Sure enough, Prince Edward arranged a better position for Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark.
"Nottingham County Mayor Philip Mark, I think you must still be thinking about Dame Juliana, so you need to go with me to the mainland, where maybe you can be the quarconian for the musketeer!"
Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, immediately expressed his respectful acceptance, obviously he is now a possible new noble in England in the future - a representative of officials. In the future, officials who have no titles will naturally lean more towards the royal family, because there are more officials in the court, and the nobles will also lose more authority.
This situation made the other nobles a little dissatisfied, knowing that the nobles might lose more in England in the future. Although it was far after Prince Edward took power, with the support of the Count Simon de Mondford's musketeers, perhaps he only had to wait until he became an adult to become the king of England. Regardless of whether his father abdicated or whether he was willing to. The position of the king was the same for anyone. If he could achieve that position, who would be willing to give up?
Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County, might be right, but Prince Edward, who received Princess Qili's education, was walking along the door opened by this sister to another state full of light that European emperors do not understand.
Prince Edward, who was sitting there, looked at the person in front of him, and he looked for the feeling of being an emperor. A panic surged in his heart, because his sister Qili said that without strict laws, these ministers would not be people who truly love the royal family, nor would they really love the country. They were just fighting for the interests of the country, and their goal was their wallet.
While thinking about these things, Prince Edward's eyes moved from Count Simon de Mondfort to Philip Mark, the mayor of Nottingham County. They were proposed by Geriel, who would restrict the power of the nobles in the future. But they represented public opinion, because they were eventually elected directly by the people. In the end, there would be two factions of struggle in the entire country, and these two factions would mainly respect the royal power, because it was him that Prince Edward abolished those bad habits that had not changed for thousands of years.
In the future, the emerging bureaucratic class will continue to try to deprive the nobles of their rights, and the nobles will approach the royal family in order to protect their rights, but the royal family will eventually benefit. Under Princess Qili's encouragement, Prince Edward sat firmly on the throne and continued to issue orders.
"The rest of the nobles can take their own men to defend the country when my father and I are not together. I do not want any trouble during this period! Mr. Philip Mark, the governor of Nottingham County, please select 1,000 soldiers from your men, Earl of Simon de Mondford, you select 4,000 soldiers from your army. I think we should leave here after we are ready. I am afraid that my brother-in-law will be anxious!"
Everyone understood why Princess Qilier escorted Princess Qilier to the continent in order to support Prince Edward. They gave each other a wink and saluted Prince Edward together.
"Ass your orders, Prince Edward, my king!"
