Chapter 1462: Annex Ireland?

In fact, Edward calmed down the rebels and everything was a small matter, and Marin would not worry about it. What troubled Marin was the letter sent by Edward later. In the letter, Edward told Marin that he planned to use the French army to go south and the northern emptiness to send troops to northern France ...

The reason I wrote to Marin was because Edward wanted to use one of Marin's two legions. After all, Edward was not very confident in the English Legion in his hands. Moreover, he also needs the only elite local army to protect his safety. Therefore, the choice of sending troops is naturally best with the Marin Corps.

At this time, Marrington was in a dilemma. He was unwilling to send his army to attack northern France. Although, the emptiness of northern France at this time is a good opportunity. However, the risk is also great ...

First of all, if the Legion under Marin is dispatched, Marin will offend the French. At this time, the French did not lose much in Italy. If they confessed to the Spaniards at this time and ran back to unite the German princes, they would be miserable.

Also, Malin Fei tried his best to provoke the war between France and Spain, the purpose is to consume France and Spain, not to help Spain defeat France. After all, in Marin's eyes, Spain, with its powerful maritime power, is more dangerous.

At this time, sending troops to the north of France is definitely helping Spain. If France had a disastrous defeat and Spain had a victory, that would not be what Marin wanted to see.

But Edward is right. The opportunity is rare, the main force of the French army has gone south to Italy. Stabbing behind France at this time is the best opportunity. Previously, Edward couldn't fight because of domestic rebellion. Now that the rebellion is over dramatically, can he free up his hand, yet not take the opportunity to take a wave of France?

So, Marin did n’t know how to reject Edward ...

...

In fact, adding blocking to France has always been the basic national policy of England. Ever since the Hundred Years War and the loss of mainland sites such as the Principality of Aquitaine, successive monarchs in England have never been convinced. Therefore, all subsequent monarchs in England have taken their responsibility to find the French ballast.

Originally, after Henry VIII became King of England, because the then French King Francois I dispatched a large army to go south to Italy for hegemony, the British army took the opportunity to loot the northern coast of France.

However, it was only when Henry VII had the land base of Calais that it was able to land successfully in northern France. And Edward did not have the stronghold of Calais, and the difficulty of harassing northern France has increased a lot. But if it is replaced by the North Sea team to attack northern France, it will be different. After all, Marin's Beihai team started practicing wading and landing very early, and did not rely heavily on the pier. It is not impossible to attack northern France.

However, Marin felt that the strength of the English army was weak, and it was simply unsuccessful to launch such an attack. You can't really bite a piece of meat on France. When France reacts, you must be beaten. So, what is the significance of this attack? At most, it is cheap Spain.

And England is like an ex-girlfriend who was abandoned by a scumbag. He is unyielding, but there is no way to destroy the "negative man." He can only disgust each other.

Speaking of which, the reason why France is strong is also thanks to the centuries of war waged by England. Before the Hundred Years' War, France was actually similar to Germany, and it was torn apart. At that time, the French King only had control of Paris and the nearby "Isle of France", and the area under control was only more than 10,000 square kilometers. Although the other French kingdoms did not reach the level of the German princes' self-reliance, they were not really kings.

For example, the Principality of Aquitaine, inherited by the British King, is larger than Ile-de-France. Moreover, England at that time had Burgundy and other French twenty-five to help, and some were emboldened against the French king.

Even in the early days of the Hundred Years' War, the British army took advantage. Until later, the French kept summing up lessons from failure. Moreover, artillery tactics were also developed to counter England's longbow tactics.

In this century-long war, the French royal family not only annexed the basic principality of Aquitaine in England, but also took advantage of the opportunity to annex many of the French nobles that were killed in war. Then, by the end of the Hundred Years' War, the French royal family had already become the top royal family in Europe. And the French nobles, because they are difficult to compete with the royal power, were seized by the royal family ...

So, no matter how you look at it, England's attack on France is a bit "harmful to others" ...

...

However, it was also difficult for Edward to dispel the idea of ​​invading northern France. Edward was already resentful against France. In particular, this rebellion was provoked by France and made Edward suffocate. It is really difficult to let it give up attacking northern France ...

For a moment, Marin came up with the idea of ​​"do you want to get rid of Edward?" But Marin thought about it, and now it seems that it is not the right time. Because, Edward has not won the Irish island yet.

This pot was reserved for Edward by Marin. After all, the reunification of Ireland has a reputation, but it also pulls hatred. His son Caesar was still too young to let him go to unify the Irish island. What if the Irish hated Caesar and came to assassinate him?

Malin Aiko is eager and feels that it is better to leave Edward to bear this risk ...

"Oh, Ireland!"

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly got inspired ...

To let Edward abandon the invasion of the northern coast of France, only let him do another important thing, so that he can divert his attention. And annexation of Ireland is obviously a very good choice ...

In fact, the monarchs of England had long thought of annexing Ireland. Even during the Norman Conquest, England sent troops to the Irish island. Therefore, there were later the little uncles of the period of Norman conquest, such as Kildare, Desmond and Ormond.

But for England, it seems that seizing the fertile land of France and Scotland, which is also on the British Isles, are more important than conquering Ireland.

The French territory was seized because it was warmer and more fertile, and was also located on the mainstream European continent (England was a backcountry at the time). And Scotland, because it is on the British island, is more valued and hostile by England. After all, how can one allow someone to snore beside the couch?

Without Scotland being conquered, England would not seek to capture the "backcountry" like the Irish island. Originally, the Scottish Stuart dynasty united England and then dispatched a large army to completely conquer Ireland. It can be seen that for England, unifying the whole island is the first priority. It's just that I didn't expect that it was Scotland that accomplished this in history ...

...

And now ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Edward, with the help of Marin, has completed the annexation of Scotland. In a few years, Scotland has been almost digested. Now, the timing of annexation of the island of Ireland is indeed ripe ...

Moreover, now that the French go south to fight for Italy, and have no time to take care of the irritating things in Ireland, it is indeed an opportunity for England. There are no obstacles to sending troops to Ireland at this time. Because France and Spain, who have the ability to intervene in the reunification of England and Ireland, are busy desperately in Italy ...

"Okay, just persuade Edward!" Marin made up his mind and decided to run to London himself to persuade Edward to annex Ireland. To this end, he even plans to transfer troops from the mainland to help conquer the island of Ireland.

Believe that he has helped Edward conquer England, and the French will feel at ease in Italy. Then everything will return to the track you set ...
