two hundred and seventy-eight

The previous topic was that a new type of nobles has emerged. They only enslave others to create money for themselves. At this time, King Charles I still preferred the feudal system, that is, the kind of nobles who had no military exploits and no well-born family to inherit.

Those who controlled the country, etc., they should not be aristocrats, they should still be just common people. Moreover, Charles I also tried every means to maintain his own feudal system.

After all, as far as Charles I is concerned, as long as the feudal system continues, he alone has the final say. If new nobles join the ranks, he often needs to listen to some opinions of the new nobles. But the common people don't think so, because

For the hereditary nobles in the past, and even the nobles who were granted the title for their military exploits or other merits, among these paths, the first path represents power and status since birth, while the second and third paths are simply easier to follow.

It is as difficult as ascending to heaven. In the entire history of our mankind, there are really very few nobles who have been ennobled in this situation. But now this new kind of nobles, that is, the road of rich nobles is easier, so the common people must

Didn't like Charles I's continued feudal system.

But Charles I is the king after all. He also has great power and has an army. This is definitely not a joke with the common people or even the new aristocrats. The other one is the older generation of hereditary aristocrats, and even those who have been awarded the title for their military exploits.

The nobles certainly do not recognize this new form of nobles. They are on the same side as Charles, because these old nobles think these new nobles are unruly people and just rich. But we all can

Don't ignore the importance of the concept of money. Nowadays, we all often say what is it? Oh, by the way, money can make people go around. This sentence is definitely not a joke to us.

Therefore, Charles I believed that no matter how rich a person was, he had no military exploits and was not banned for making any great contributions to the country. Therefore, he only legally enslaved many civilians and then owned money, which was beneficial to the country.

For example, why did the profits created by the people go to the hands of these new nobles? Shouldn't this belong to the country in the first place? So this is very strange. Anyway, Charles I thought this matter was very strange. Therefore, Charles I

They wantonly plundered the money of the bourgeoisie. Anyway, Charles I understood that this was originally the wealth created by his own people, but it was taken away by the bourgeoisie. Now it must be given to the country, and Charles I also believed that if the country did not protect these wealth,

The bourgeoisie, and what are these bourgeois people, right?

Since Charles I had such a thinking mode, it proves that he did not take the bourgeoisie in his eyes at all, thinking that they were just violent money-grabbers of the country. From then on, his plundering of the bourgeoisie became more ferocious. And the bourgeoisie

People of the upper class already have money and a sense of superiority, and more and more people begin to respect them. Therefore, these bourgeois people subconsciously think that they are powerful, that they are nobles, and that they have money.

And money can indeed make the world go round. So far, these bourgeois people have begun to fight back after the king took away too much money. They formed a bourgeois parliament to try every means to limit the king's power for their own benefit.

, but King Charles I was completely dismissive of this kind of parliament. From this point of view, the conflict between this kind of parliament and the king has reached an inevitable point.

In October 1640, the people of Parliament suddenly arrested two of Charles I's cronies, the Earl of Straff and the Archbishop of Rhodes. The bourgeois Parliament also sentenced these two people to death.

! From here it is not difficult for us to see the magic and even the huge power of money. Now these people have begun to fight against the king for their own financial interests. When King Charles I found out about this, he became furious in an instant, thinking that these assets

Some people in the class council have begun to lose their minds and have begun to go crazy.

So the next day, Charles I took his own guards and rushed into the bourgeois parliament office, and then said to the leader of the parliament: I order you as king to immediately release the Earl of Straff and Rowe.

Archbishop De! But the leader of the parliament was also very powerful. He directly ignored the identity of King Charles I and told the king directly: This is simply impossible! Then Charles I saw that the attitude of the leader of the parliament was very tough, and then many bourgeois members

They all rushed up, feeling that the situation was not good, so he quickly fled the parliament with his guards.

From here, it is not difficult to see that the bourgeoisie at this time already believed that they, the rich, were superior, and even their attitude towards the king had become like this, which explains everything. And by November 1640

In fact, it was only one month after the last incident. At this time, there was an uprising in Scotland, which needed to be suppressed. The suppression required military expenditures. Therefore, Charles I was forced to hold a meeting in order to prepare military expenditures. Because there was no money in the treasury, everyone was

The bourgeoisie has been plundered. Instead of creating wealth for the country, the citizens have become slaves of the bourgeoisie. So at this time, Charles I was preparing to pass a new bill to start taxing the bourgeoisie. This

It seems completely reasonable, and it is exactly the same nature as the bills used by the bourgeoisie in our entire world today? But the current bourgeoisie completely disagrees with Charles I’s bill.

Not only did these bourgeois people disagree with Charles I's taxation bill, but they also took the opportunity to propose restrictions on the king's power. However, as civilians, they understood that the king was plundering their wealth, but for the bourgeoisie's completely incapable of finding loopholes in the new

There is no resistance at all. It’s just like we are working now. Others give us money and we work. This is completely normal no matter how you look at it, isn’t it? Therefore, the bourgeoisie put forward the proposal to limit the king’s power and immediately returned the proposal.

This has gained more support from the common people who believe that the bourgeoisie is reasonable.

Of course, the bourgeoisie supports the proposal to limit the power of the king. The more supporters are entirely the bosses of industry and commerce, because they are very profitable. They are legally enslaving the masses of civilians and making them serve their own life goals and even their lives for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, bourgeois people will not care whether the civilians who have been enslaved their whole lives will completely lose the meaning of being human. In short, this point of view is not very clear in this era, because this point of view is in our human thinking.

The concept of self-worth only emerged after the complete liberation of the spiritual world. For example, some people pursue the truth throughout their lives, some people live a life of extravagance and lust, and some people like to study various ancient literatures.

There are even a small number of people who think that they should make contributions to the entire world in this life, etc.

But it didn’t happen at this time. The common people’s thinking, knowledge, and even logic were very poor, so they thought it was King Charles’ fault. In fact, if the feudal system of Charles I was based on human rights and even freedom, he must be wrong!

It's just that from the perspective of Charles I, this feudal system was convenient for him to manage, to plunder the people's wealth, and even to strengthen the country, etc. So far, this is of course the so-called correctness.

So Charles I suddenly became very angry at this time, thinking that he originally wanted to collect taxes, which was a reasonable and legal existence. Now it was better, and he had to limit his power as the king. What on earth is this?

What kind of trouble was going on? So Charles I took his guards directly and prepared to rush to the Parliament to arrest all the five members who were the most fiercely opposed to him. But these five members had heard the news and hid.

Then Charles I came to nothing.

The next day, Charles I ordered the city to search for the five MPs, but the king's guards were blocked by the people, because in the people's hearts, Charles I was definitely wrong. And the farmers in the countryside around London also

They began to come to the city one after another to express their support for the bourgeois parliament. Even the mayor of London began to oppose the arrest of these five members. This suddenly caused Charles I to fall into isolation in London at this time.

Charles I found that he was completely unable to defeat the magic of the concept of money, that is, he could not defeat the bourgeoisie. He also wanted to tell the common people that the bourgeoisie was actually more cruel than himself. His cruel exploitation was obvious, and many of it was completely

It is reasonable, for example, only when the country is rich can it be strong, and only when the country is strong can it protect everyone. However, this bourgeoisie is completely exploitative and has no humanity at all. It even allows civilians to become sheep throughout their lives even when they cannot find any flaws.

It's a pity that Charles I also understood that even if he told the common people this, they would not be able to understand it, and they would think that he was talking nonsense, because the bourgeoisie uses money to hire people to work. This is an iron fact.

The truth. In the end, Charlie finally figured it out and understood his current serious situation, so he escaped from London.

After Charles I escaped from London, he came to Yorkshire in northern England. This is not to say that Charles I was afraid. Charles I was the king after all, so he was currently thinking about things that he couldn't explain at all. It was better to use the old method.

The way is to engage in an armed confrontation, that is, to prepare to gather troops loyal to him, and then use force to directly attack the bourgeois parliament and drive them all out, so that no one can hinder him.

So on August 22, 1642, Charles I led the army to raise the military flag in Nottingham and officially announced a crusade against the bourgeois parliament. When we see this, we can immediately find a vague money

Isn't it strange that the concept of money can force a king into such a situation at this moment? No! In fact, this is not surprising at all, because in the absence of absolute force, the concept of money, except for the most devout faith,
