Chapter 619: Treaty of Nantes

Soon, Marin's fleet arrived on the west coast of France, and arrived in Nantes along the Loire River. And Louis XII received them personally here.

In fact, Louis XII was very dissatisfied with Marlin's kick. Because, Marin's participation in this matter means that the interests of England should be divided into Marin's part.

Of course, Louis XII did not show these on his face. Moreover, he had already planned in his heart-until France annexed England, and kicked out Marin directly ...

The French are very good at this kind of thing. For example, in the past, Edward III was the Duke of Aquitaine in France and owned both the Principality of Normandy and Anjoub, accounting for almost half of France.

However, the French not only deprived Edward III of the French throne from legal inheritance, but also confiscated all the territories of Edward III in France. Only then did the British and French centuries war. Of course, although France paid a huge price, it finally recovered all of France.

The same trick, Louis XII also intends to use it once. Louis XII estimated that after the end of the war, Marin would be expected to be an earl and own a county in England. However, this is nothing. Wait until France takes over England and kick him out ...

Moreover, in this war, Louis XII must also use Marin. Why? Because France cannot solve England's powerful navy. And Marin claimed to be able to solve the problem of the English fleet, clearing obstacles for the French army to cross the English Channel. The French cannot do this. Therefore, we must rely on Marin. Otherwise, Edward and France alone cannot cross the sea, let alone compete for the English throne?

However, the French did not know how Marin could "solve" the power of the English navy on the English Channel.

So, during the meeting, Louis XII raised questions on the spot ...

Marin said in consultation with Edward, and mysteriously said:

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will definitely be able to solve the English fleet in the English Channel, and even if they are unlucky, they can be transferred away. By then, you can send someone to scout along the coast of England. Now, you do n’t have to send troops ... "

Louis XII was right to think about it, and it was enough to send someone to confirm it. If determined, it is not too late to convene ships and troops. For Marin's "solve" of the English fleet, Louis XII is supposed to lead away. Anyway, as long as the opponent succeeded in drawing the main force of the English navy, the French fleet could still defeat the remaining miscellaneous boats in Britain.

"So, when does France call the fleet and send troops?"

Marlin and Edward glanced at each other and said:

"Your Majesty, we are ready to dispatch a large number of men and women to fight against the British in the Irish Sea. Even if we cannot destroy each other, we must hold down the enemy. Presumably, when the time comes, the English main fleet will be drawn to the Irish Sea. At the beginning of the war, I will send a ship to Nantes to inform your country. At that time, your country can call in a fleet and send troops ... "

Louis XII thought for a while. Also, if Marin ’s fleet battled the British ships on the Irish Sea and helped Edward ’s army cross the sea, it would definitely attract the British main ships. When the time comes, the French take the opportunity to cross the sea, and the odds are great. So he nodded and agreed with Marin's arrangement.

As for how Marlin ’s army and Edward ’s army landed safely in England, Louis XII did not really care. In his view, as long as the French army boarded England, there was no reason to withdraw.

In order to defeat Henry VII, Louis XII prepared a 20,000 army. This force, as long as the landing is successful, I believe it will definitely defeat the English. You know, when Henry VII returned to his country to take the throne, he only brought 5,000 people.

Of course, it is not that Henry VII did not want to bring more people. But because he brought 5,000 people, he was able to complete the landing quickly, leaving the British side unresponsive. If more people are brought in, the English navy may react and may sink many troop carriers directly on the English Channel.

However, this time Marin was responsible for leading away the main force of the English fleet, but the French could land with 20,000 troops. And, don't worry about being blocked by the main force of the British navy. After all, they were evacuated ... As for whether they were evacuated, as Marin said, you will know by sending a ship to scout ...

Then he asked how much Marin had sent troops. When he learned that Marin also sent 20,000 troops, Louis XII frowned ...

You know, the fighting power of the Marin army is notorious, and it can defeat the Swiss mercenaries. The French can't do this.

Originally, Louis XII also wanted to send Swiss mercenaries to England. But the Swiss are resisting the invasion of the Habsburg family, unable to draw troops to serve France.

Therefore, the 20,000 troops that Louis XII dispatched this time were all French men, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Swiss mercenaries. If it is against the army of Marin, I am afraid there is no chance ...

Why fight against Marin's army? Because the twelfth floor of Louis considered that after the war, he simply annexed England. Why is there such confidence? Because he sent 20,000 troops, most of Edward's more than 10,000 troops were actually French soldiers. As long as Louis called out twelve times, those French soldiers would definitely stand on the side of France.

If Marin only brought 10,000 troops, then after the elimination of Henry VII, the French army of 20,000, plus most of the French troops under Edward, could completely suppress the 10,000 people in Marin and other soldiers under Edward. Two or three thousand people. In this way, France can directly annex England.

However, now that Marin said to bring 20,000 people to fight, then things will be in trouble. Because Marin ’s army is not low in combat effectiveness, or higher than the French army. So, the plan to annex England with this war will be overwhelmed. Can only expect to gain a foothold first, and then slowly plot to England. Of course, if Louis XII gave birth to a son and married Edward's only daughter, there would be no need to use force ...

At the time of signing the agreement, Louis XII was taken aback by Marin's plan to marry Edward.

"What? Duke Marin, do you want to marry Edward?" After that, Louis twelve had a murderous look in his eyes-this kid, also plotting England?

Marin said innocently:

"Your Majesty, I just made my son a candidate. If you gave birth to a prince, then I would definitely not dare to fight you. If you can't give birth ..."

"What nonsense? I will definitely give birth to a prince!" After that, Louis XII gave Malin an angry look.

"Hmm, I also believe that your Majesty will definitely give birth to a prince. Is n’t it just my wish to be an alternative? It ’s definitely an honor for my son to be married to the Princess of England! And, Your Majesty Edward is young and strong, and will definitely continue The one who gave birth to the prince. If a second princess is born, my son will marry the second princess directly. If there is no second princess, then your son will take precedence, and my son will be the alternative ... What do you think? "

Louis nodded at twelve, and finally agreed to Marin's request, agreeing to add this article to the article. However, he did not care. Anyway, as long as France gains a foothold in England, it can go up to tens of thousands of troops. If you can't have a son ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ then you will annex England directly by force. When the time comes, Marlin can be expelled ... Well, a knight's boy also wants to conquer England.

Edward did not know that he was about to be kicked, and he agreed with Marin, thinking that he would have many children in the future, so he didn't care about the elder daughter's marriage. In this way, with regard to the marriage of Edward's daughter, the three parties have decided on a specific and express way.

As for the division of benefits after the war, it is clearly stated that if Marin ’s army has played its due role, it will receive Northumberland and the Isle of Wight, and the title will be Earl of Newcastle. As for France, if the French army has played its due role The role of the East half of Dorset and Devon in the English Channel ...

In fact, there are traps in this clause—that is, the phrase “played its due role”. If the French army fails to successfully cross the sea to complete its due combat mission, it will not be paid ...

However, Louis XII did not find the trap of this clause. Moreover, he was also confident that he could successfully cross the sea when the British navy was deployed. As long as the French army ascended to the English mainland, it would directly depend on not leaving ...

In the end, all three parties were happy with this treaty. And this treaty is called the "Nante Treaty" ...
