Chapter 1727: Leave london

Edward agreed with Marin's proposal, but frowned and asked:

"What reason should we use to attack Calais? We can't say nothing, just send troops directly?"

Europe is not an ancient China that is intrigued by intrigues and tricks. The name is particularly important here. If there is no good excuse, the nobles can even refuse to play.

Marin thought for a while and said:

"This is simple, you send a noble that you do not deal with to go to Calais fortress. Then, send someone to assassinate him. Then, you accuse the French of killing the noble, as an excuse to send troops to capture Calais Just get it? "

"Can it still be?" Edward was dumbfounded. He was numb to Marin's shameless insidiousness.

"Of course it is. In this way, you have solved an excuse that opposes you, and you can exchange it for attacking Calais. How good?"

Edward frowned and said:

"So, what reason should I use to send this hostile nobleman to Calais? I can't always tell him--would you like to visit Calais?"

Marin was stunned, and he said so. Then he thought about it:

"It's still the old way. England has occupied Calais for many years. There should be a lot of British expatriates there? You sent someone to assassinate the two English expatriates, deliberately creating a conflict, wouldn't there be an excuse to send the nobleman to solve this matter?

"Assassination of the diaspora of England? Is this wrong ... Why do you want to kill the innocent diaspora for no reason?" Edward was not happy. He has no idea to kill a hostile noble. After all, he is an enemy, but innocent people ... Will God blame it? Obviously, Edward is still superstitious ...

Marin does not matter:

"Your Majesty, there are many English expatriates in Calais, but the problem is that after the French occupied Calais, many English expatriates have turned to the French. Many truly faithful expatriates have returned to England. So, kill two It ’s no big deal to be a traitor to the diaspora in France. "

Marin was right, after the occupation of Calais fortress by France, many English expatriates returned to the country. Many of the English expatriates who stayed in the Calais fortress chose to turn to the French for business and livelihood. These people actually did betray England by doing so. After all, England and France have always been enemy countries. Killing two people who surrendered to the enemy country is really nothing. It is like killing two guys like Zhang Hezhi and the like in the afterlife. No one will help this kind of person, only applause.

Edward was right when he thought about it. For someone who betrayed the country, what did they care about their lives? Even if they were killed, God would not blame ...

Edward quickly arranged the matter, and Marin also came to the palace where Queen Anna and Princess Margaret were located, and saw that her son Caesar was trying to please Princess Margaret, making the little princess amused. Giggling. Queen Anna sat quietly.

Marin gave Queen Anna a sigh in her heart. To be honest, Queen Anna did nothing wrong. She did not let her father, Earl Durte, do anything, and did not target Marin and Caesar. However, Marin worried that she would take power after Edward died.

Historically, there have been many such women. When the emperor was alive, they were very honest. But as soon as the emperor died, they changed, and began to seize power, and tried to become the best queen.

For example, Emperor Han Wu's mother, Queen Mother Wang Wang, Wang Wang was honestly messed up when Emperor Jing was alive, and dared not make any changes. Of course, at that time there was a very powerful Queen Mother Dou pressing her, she did not dare to mess up.

When Emperor Han Jing and Empress Dou both burped, they usually looked at the harmless Wang Li, the Empress Dowager suddenly arrogant. The reason why her half-brother Tian Yu became the early power minister of Han Wudi is inseparable from the support of Wang Lu.

It was precisely because the grandmother Dou Dou and her mother Wang Lu were fed up, so when Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty made Liu Fuling the prince of Han Zhaodi in his later years, because he was worried that Liu Fuling ’s mother, Mrs. Hou Yi, would take power and directly order the hook Mrs. Yi killed ...

...

For Queen Anna, Marin also worried that after Edward's death, she would gain power with the support of the English aristocracy and compete with herself. But what worries me most is that she is still afraid of Queen Anna colluding with France to fight against her.

If only the English aristocracy supported her, Marin had no worries and killed it. Anyway, after Edward's original slaughter, the nobility of England is not very strong now.

But if it colludes with France, then the problem becomes bigger. Needless to say, the strength of France, coupled with the cooperation of the nobles in England, it will be difficult for Marin to parry.

Therefore, even if Marin felt guilty, he could only choose to remove Queen Anna ’s “stumbling block” before Edward hung down ...

As for the life of Edward? Marin had no guilt. Why? Because if not for himself, Edward should have been killed by Henry VII as early as 1497. Helping him to live for so many years, and letting him have a daughter, is also worthy of him ...

...

The following day, when Marin met Edward's family in private at the Tower of London, the two sides got along very well. But in public, Marin and Edward deliberately showed a less friendly look.

Edward is also happy to cooperate with Marin's performance. Anyway, for him, it is the most important thing to recapture the Calais fortress.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of England began to secretly act. Edward mobilized 15,000 people from his 20,000-strong army. And Marin quietly let Saqara tune into 4000 elite and join in. At the same time, the local side will also mobilize 1,000 musketeers and send 5,000 clockwork carbines to fight against French plate armoured infantry on rainy days.

At the same time, the killer sent by Edward also crossed the sea to Calais to choose the right target ... Of course, he was also selecting the enemy nobles who were going to send to Calais to die ...

In this era, the death of the expatriates abroad was not enough to trigger a war. After all, ordinary people do not come to the table this year, their life and death have nothing to do with the king. The King can send someone to care about it, already considered "love the people as a child."

But the nobility is different. The nobility is the "partner" of the king, and he rules the country with the king. The death of an aristocrat is definitely a great event, enough to break out of war.

So ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin helped Edward design the plan of "killing one or two betrayed diaspora first, and then sending a nobleman to investigate and then kill". The expatriate died, and an official was sent to pretend to investigate, and he would be able to pay. But when noble officials died abroad, that was the top priority. Because, this noble official sent to investigate, that represents the king, equivalent to the identity of the messenger.

...

Of course, these have nothing to do with Marin. In addition to privately liaising with Edward's family of three, Marin has repeatedly stressed that Princess Margaret should marry his son Caesar. It seems that he came to London this time just to grab his daughter-in-law.

The English nobles in London have their own opinions. Some believe that the future husband of England ’s only princess should not be a foreigner. But some people think that according to the treaty signed by the king, England should perform the contract ...

But soon after, Marin suddenly left London in a hurry and returned to the country. Before leaving, Marin took 3000 guards and spared a few laps in the city of London, demonstrating force ...

The reason why Marin left London in a hurry is because Edward's side is ready to start soon. He didn't want to be involved, and faced France ahead of time, so he left London early in order to avoid suspicion ...
