Chapter 1027: Help the Netherlands with a crooked talent

Marin's estimate was not wrong. When he sent someone to the handsome king Philip to tell the French to secretly use the merchant ship in Amsterdam to transport French goods, Philip was really angry.

For Philip, he hated France more than his father Maximilian I. Why? Because Maximilian I was not the ruler of the Netherlands. The real ruler of the Netherlands was Philip, and the Principality of Burgundy also inherited from his grandfather's bold Charlie. Therefore, France took most of the territory of the Principality of Burgundy (Burgundy), and the direct victim was Philip. Philip's resentment towards France is much greater than that of his oldest son Maximilian I.

Philip has never been a good-tempered person, and has a narrow mind. When Spain sent a fleet to the Netherlands to take his sister Margaret of Austria back to Castile and married Prince Juan, he didn't know where to offend Philip. As a result, the cargo directly hanged the Spanish fleet that came to the Netherlands for a few months without supply. As a result, many Spanish sailors starved to death.

Moreover, the goods are merciless. His eldest son Maximilian I missed him. He never visited his father in Innsbruck, but Maximilian I rushed to Ghent to see him. As for the story of his wife "Crazy Girl Juana", it is even more famous all over the world because he is crazy.

Of course, because of Marin's intervention, Prince Juan did not die, and Juana did not inherit the Castile throne. The Juana and his wife did not return to Spain to fight for the throne. Then, Philip did not die in Spain in 1506. Today, Philip is alive and kicking. The reason why Juana is crazy is inseparable from Philip's death. Philip was not dead, and Juana was naturally not crazy. However, because Philip went all out to search for a lover, Juana, although not crazy, was depressed. Therefore, Juana is not a mad woman, but she is a depression patient.

...

How can a ruthless ruthless and bad-tempered ruler tolerate the collusion of merchants under the rule of the enemy? So, after receiving the news, Philip sent someone to confirm, and then directly sent troops to surround the dozen or so merchant families in Amsterdam ...

Next, it is natural to copy the house. This is not counted. All the dozen or so major males were hanged in the name of "collusion with the enemy."

It was so sudden that everyone hadn't reacted yet, and Philip had already raised the butcher knife. When some members of the Dutch Parliament colluded with these maritime merchants raised objections, the main men of the dozen or so maritime merchant families had already died on the gallows.

Then, in the port of Amsterdam, all ships belonging to these dozen maritime merchants were detained. On the ship, French sailors and French goods were indeed found, leaving the Netherland MPs who had spoken by the sea merchants speechless.

What made Philip very happy was that this time he was a big copyist, and he actually obtained a property worth 500,000 gold coins. This is not enough, because the 30 shipyards and more than 70 merchant ships under the name of a dozen or so merchants have not been auctioned yet ...

And the people of Marin have long been waiting for this auction ...

Marin did not intend to transfer all of these shipyards and merchant ships all at once, because, if this were done, it might cause Amsterdam shipping to be paralyzed and attract Philip ’s attention.

Therefore, Marin's countermeasure is to use the North Sea Chamber of Commerce spies arranged in the Netherlands in the early years to divide into multiples in the name of Dutch merchants and eat these shipyards and merchant ships.

In the end, after fierce auction bidding, the spies under Marin took all 30 shipyards into their hands. As for the 70 merchant ships, only 50 ships were obtained, and more than 20 ships were taken away by several large noble families in the Netherlands. The spies of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce have no way to interfere with the big nobility. After all, these big nobles do not reason with you at all, and it is very helpless to use power to suppress people.

But this has little effect, and more than 20 merchant ships have not caused the rise of the Dutch nautical. If the trade share of popular routes such as the Baltic trade routes cannot be grabbed, it is difficult for the Dutch maritime trade to rise.

Today, the Hanseatic League has not yet declined, and it still controls the maritime trade in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. It is very difficult for Dutch businessmen to share a piece of soup. And to help the French ship ... the bodies on the gallows on Ghent Square are still hanging and not removed ...

...

But it is not enough to just buy all the shipyards and most commercial ships in Amsterdam. What if there are new shipyards? Therefore, Marin intends to cut off the ability of Dutch man-made ships from the source.

For example, the wood of Dutch man-made ships comes mainly from the forests of Norway and southern Sweden. To this end, Marin intends to find ways to monopolize those timber. Now Norway and southern Sweden are in the hands of Denmark. But there is an agreement between Denmark and Lübeck and Hamburg-Denmark must not develop the navy. Therefore, the shipbuilding timber Denmark is not used.

As for Marin, the wood is actually not used. why? Marin now sits in a large virgin forest on the North American continent. Does it lack wood? Obviously there is no shortage ...

However, if he does not buy timber from Norway and southern Sweden, others will buy it, such as the Dutch ...

Therefore, Marin decided that he must help the Danes find a market for wood, but they must never sell it to the Dutch ...

For example, Marin can sell Danish timber to the Hanseatic League. After all, there are more ships in the Hanseatic League and more wood is needed. After all, because of the damage of the maggots, the sea boat must be overhauled every time it is sailed, such as replacing the bottom of the ship with wooden boards or the like.

In addition, Marin himself will find a way to eat some oak from the forests of Norway and southern Sweden for shipbuilding. Although this is wasteful, it at least prevents the Dutch from buying wood for shipbuilding.

...

These are from the outside to cut off the supply of wood for Dutch man-made ships, but this is not enough. Because if the Dutch really want to build ships, it is not only from Norway and southern Sweden that they can import timber such as oak for shipbuilding. At most, the cost of importing timber from there is relatively low.

If nothing else, the Netherlands itself has a lot of oak. Although the quantity is not large and the price is still high, it is no problem to build hundreds of large ships. Moreover, the Dutch can also import wood from German territory on the upper Rhine. Even wood can be imported from France. As long as they want to build ships, it is not enough to cut off the supply of wood in Norway and Sweden.

But how do you keep the Dutch from thinking about shipbuilding? Marin thought hard ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ finally came up with a way to help the Dutch with a crooked talent ...

What does a little crooked talent mean? It is to guide the Dutch to go astray and stop pursuing shipbuilding and sailing ...

The specific approach is to encourage the Dutch to use wood to do something else. For example, to create furniture, wooden crafts and so on ... In addition, wood can also be used to build houses and firewood ...

In short, the purpose of Marin is to allow the Dutch to use limited wood for other purposes. The Netherlands already lacked wood, and then actively used wood to create furniture and wooden crafts. Want to build a ship again ... you have to have enough wood ...

To this end, Marin intends to spend a lot of money to build a group of furniture factories in the Dutch shipbuilding center Amsterdam to professionally create all kinds of furniture.

In order to make Dutch furniture sell well, Marin plans to go out in person and draw many popular furniture patterns in later generations according to memory. Then, guide the furniture factory in Amsterdam to make it. With the perfect furniture style ready for future generations as a reference, it is difficult for the furniture manufacturing industry in Amsterdam to think well ...

When Amsterdam became the European furniture manufacturing center, a lot of wood was naturally spent on furniture manufacturing. Then, Marin was investing in a number of wooden crafts workshops, such as wood carving, to help consume less wood in the Netherlands ...

When the Dutch want to build a ship, they will find that they cannot find wood. Because, the wood has been bought by furniture factories and wooden craft workshops ...

...

Several years later, before his death, Marin suddenly discovered with surprise that the Netherlands, which was supposed to be a "sea coachman," because he arbitrarily helped to distort his talent, and finally turned into a "furniture kingdom." Dutch furniture, which is sold all over Europe, also brings generous taxes to the Habsburg family ...
