two hundred and sixty-eight

Later, the British Parliament promulgated a decree that any tramp who has not found a job within a month will be sold as a slave once caught. The slave owner can let him do any job. If the slave escapes, he will be captured.

If you come back, you will be sentenced to life-long slavery. If you escape for the third time, you will be sentenced to death immediately if you are caught. Anyone has the right to take the children of wanderers as apprentices and hard labor. In fact, this seems to be a very strict law, and it can happen at any time.

It's life and death, but the original intention of Congress is just to calm down the chaos of order and let these homeless people find jobs. But what Congress doesn't understand is that the labor force at this time does not need so much, even in the most prosperous

In the woolen weaving industry, a workshop only required a few people, but now there are a huge number of homeless people. This is no joke.

Therefore, during the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth, large numbers of wandering farmers were executed. The enclosure movement continued to intensify, causing more and more farmers to lose their land in Britain. Many farmers had to do this in order to survive.

If you don't go into a manual workshop that produces woolen products or some other manual workshops, you become a cheap labor force for the capitalists. Because if you don't do it, someone else will do it. Anyway, the day's wages are very small, so you have to endure the cruel exploitation of the capitalists. In the manual workshop

Here, workers have to work more than ten hours a day. As we said before, if you don't do it, someone else will do it, so the wages are ridiculously low.

Now this kind of land enclosure movement is not only launched in the United Kingdom, but has also spread to some other countries. However, it is the most serious in the United Kingdom. It was also during this period that the cultivated land in the rural areas of Western Europe was originally divided into sections.

, called a field. Large and small landowners occupy one or several strips of land. This land layout is called a field system. Under the field system, the dates for farming and harvesting are determined by farmers first.

Decide.

After the harvest is completed, the villagers have the right to pick wheat ears and graze livestock in the wheat fields. Such a shared farming system is actually not conducive to the hard-working and capable farmers to exert their own production enthusiasm. Since the land is relatively scattered, it is difficult to divide the fields into

Field ridges will cause a waste of land and are not conducive to management. Moreover, the fields are very narrow and can only be plowed and raked smoothly, so they are not conducive to soil improvement.

When farming, neighboring land may be trampled by livestock, causing disputes. From the perspective of water conservancy construction, it is not convenient for unit producers to independently take drainage and irrigation measures. From the perspective of livestock, the livestock in the whole village are concentrated together, which can easily cause

The spread of livestock infectious diseases and the lack of forage have caused malnutrition in livestock, and the crossbreeding of livestock on their own is not conducive to the improvement of livestock breeds.

But now everything has changed, because the nobles are enclosing their own land, raising their own sheep, and then obtaining more wool profits, so the sheep flock is still increasing on a large scale, so in the end, it seems that

In Britain, where the enclosure movement was the most serious, the entire country was raised to raise sheep. At this point, sheep were more valuable than civilians, and then a large number of farmers became homeless. The homeless could not find a job within a month, so they became homeless.

It is definitely no joke to be sold into slavery. So farmers are looking for jobs, but the capitalists are also taking advantage of the situation. The wages they give farmers are like the original national regulation of ten yuan a day, but now they give them two yuan, or one yuan.

Anyway, if you don’t do it, other tramps will do it. As for if you continue to wander, you will be caught and sold into slavery, and anyone can take away your children and so on. In other words, the tramp has already

Even basic human rights are gone, and it has truly become the most despicable tool.

It is also under such circumstances that the British high-ranking officials, even the nobles and wealthy people, are making huge profits due to high profits! They all live an extremely free and extravagant life of extravagance and debauchery.

And this situation is still getting worse. Therefore, the farmers who can no longer bear it are forcing them to rebel in disguise, because they don’t even have a little bit of human rights. They have become the despicable tools of the capitalists in a real sense, and they are not even alive.

It was a sin, so these farmers began to revolt. Suddenly many uprisings against the enclosure movement broke out across the UK.

The largest uprising was the uprising led by farmer Robert Kate in Norfolk. In June 1549, farmer Kate led a large number of farmers whose land had been legally taken away from them and launched a large-scale uprising. The uprising

The army approached the city of Nowy in Norfolk. At this time, the city hall was so frightened that it quickly closed its doors. Kate stationed the rebel army in the forest outside the city, and then some nearby farmers who had lost their land and the city were exploited by capitalists.

Bankrupt farmers came to join the rebellion one after another, so the rebel army soon grew to more than 20,000 people.

Kate sent a letter to the senior officials of the city hall, demanding that land enclosures be stopped immediately and farmers’ rights to use the land be restored. We believe that this is not farmers’ right to own the land, but only the right to use it. But the senior officials of the municipal government

While agreeing to Kate, he went to report to the king all night long. In fact, the top officials of the municipal government wanted the king to send troops to kill these farmers, but the king did not think so. After the king heard about this, he ordered people to send troops to kill the peasants.

An amnesty order came, asking the farmers to go home.

But where do the farmers have a home to go back to? Isn't the king kidding them? Is this a three-year-old child playing house? The king is sitting alone on a comfortable chair, dressed luxuriously, and has a lot of meat and fish.

Eat, and let a group of British farmers who have no home to go back to, are hungry, and are even naked? Isn’t it the country’s fault that the farmers are like this? It’s also the farmers’ fault.

The farmers have been working hard for the country all their lives, but in the end they get nothing. They just work all their lives or die for the country. It’s all like this. The country is still joking with the farmers? Kate, the leader of the rebel army, saw it.

After the king issued an amnesty order and let them go home, they immediately became furious. This was also because the king did not agree to the peasants' request. Perhaps the king also thought that they were just despicable tools, just a group of tools for their interests and even power. They needed

Give some sweets to eat when there is no need, just kill them if they are no longer needed.

So Kate, who was completely furious at this moment, and more farmers who knew about this situation, immediately attacked Naowei City with their incomparable anger, but this would definitely kill people. Naowei City was actually destroyed by extremely angry farmers

They captured it instantly, because there were not many troops stationed there. We have to understand that the army was originally farmers! Now that the farmers are like this, how powerful the army is, right?

After the king learned that the city of Nawei had been occupied by farmers, he immediately sent Warwick to lead an army of more than 15,000 people to suppress it. This is exactly what we analyzed before, the people were just high-ranking nobles and even the king.

They are just a group of tools used to gain power and even benefits. They give some benefits when needed, and just massacre them when not needed. The rebel army started a bloody battle with the high-level army, but the army is different.

Their equipment is very sophisticated. The purpose of these armies is to fight foreign wars. Another purpose is to suppress farmers. In fact, this is the case in every country. Don't say that the purpose of the army is only to protect farmers. In fact, every country's army has hundreds of

Ninety percent of the factors are to silence the peasants, which is to kill people from their own country. To put it mildly, it is suppression, and the remaining 10% of the factors are external. Many people may not know this.

In fact, our modern world today is also in this form.

Therefore, the equipment of the king's army must be extremely sophisticated. The farmers could not defeat them at all. There were corpses of farmers everywhere. Therefore, the rebel army and the king's army fought hard for two days and two nights. The rebel army was defeated. Kate and more than 300 people were defeated.

A peasant was also hanged. But at this time we also knew that 90% of the reason why a country has an army is to suppress the peasants of its own country first and shut up the peasants. This form is just like the one we discussed before

Our human ancestors have the concept of raising sheep. In fact, the country is raising civilians as sheep. Therefore, it is really strange for civilians to discuss so-called human rights issues with high-level officials of the country. It is like a discussion between a sheep and a lion.

, it has the same power as a lion, which is really weird.

Moreover, after more than 20,000 rebels, that is, more than 20,000 civilians, were exterminated, the nobles who hated the leader of the rebels, Kate, told General Warwick that they hoped Warwick would help the farmers in the UK.

They will carry out large-scale massacres so that they will not revolt or speak. The rest will obediently become their cheapest slaves because they are afraid of force and death, and they will be able to develop.

Their first goal is capitalism.

But Warwick is a general. Although he himself is superior, he has become a general based on his strength. How can these nobles, who are obsessed with money and lose their humanity, be able to compare? So Warwick asked these nobles very angrily:

After killing all the farmers, are you going to farm?

These nobles heard other meanings from Warwick's words and even his tone, and knew that they had gone too far at this time. If they continued to do it, all their nobles might have to work like farmers.

, or even the day of their death. After these nobles figured this out, they began to restrain themselves a little and were willing to give up. So we can finally say that although Kate's uprising failed, more than 20,000 peasants all
Chapter completed!
