The Rise of the European Emperor

If you want others to believe in you, you have to give them some sweetness first. Just like those casinos who set people up, they always have to let the other party win for a while. In the end, they will set the trap, so that the other party can even bring profits and lose all their origins...

Therefore, if you want to convince the merchant ship owners of the Five-Port Alliance in England, you must first let them eat something...

To this end, Marin decided to immediately let Kohler arrange personnel to set up offices in the five commercial terminals of the Five-Port Alliance in the names of the Dutch and Italians. Then, make a few orders and let them do it, building a good reputation for keeping things trustworthy. When the war starts, place another big order to deceive them. Moreover, they only gave the deposit and no follow-up, and threw the pot to the French.

As it happens, it is still December 1505, and there are still a few months before the end of spring ploughing in April. In the past few months, it happened to set up an office in the port of the Five-Port Alliance, and placed a few orders to establish an image of trustworthiness. When the big order is finally placed, someone will believe it and take the bait.

According to the rules, the order must be placed by the chamber of commerce office and the deposit will be paid, and the balance will be settled at the office after the ship returns. Marin took advantage of this. After paying the deposit, he estimated that the other party's ship should return, so he disappeared and left traces of the French, so that those ship owners hated the French...

In fact, even paying the full amount was nothing, but Marin was worried about France annexing Britain. Therefore, it is estimated that those merchant ship owners hated France. In this way, when the French want to invade England, these merchant ships will burst out with 200% fighting power to attack the French. After all, the French "spent their hard-earned money"...

Marin reckoned that after he and Edward defeated Henry VII and captured London, if the French heard the news, they would definitely be unwilling to be lonely and want to take a share. Therefore, the French will definitely find a way to send troops to England. Not to mention the capture of England, but there must be an idea of ​​tearing a piece of meat from England. After all, Edward has the strong support of the French, and it is inevitable that the other party wants benefits.

But if the French reached out to England, it would be complicated. There is a saying that it is easy to ask God to send God to God, and the Frenchman may not go away, or even think of annexing England. When Louis XII found out that he could not bear a son, it was inevitable that he would want to violently annex England.

Therefore, the best way is to prevent the French from crossing the English Channel. The main force blocking the French fleet was naturally the Five-Port Alliance.

After Marin's framing, the merchant ship owners of the Five-Port Alliance must have hated the French very much, and they would never let the French successfully land in England. With their desperate efforts, let alone the French crossing the English Channel, maybe the navy's possessions will be wiped out by the Five-Port Alliance... And this is exactly what Marin wants to see...

To this end, Marin intends to fool the French. For example, the trick of turning the tiger away from the mountain will be carried out without the knowledge of the French. Once the British ships in the Irish Sea had been wiped out and Edward's army had been transported to England, Marin would instigate Edward to invite the French to siege London with them.

Of course, it is necessary to calculate the time and ensure that the French can send troops after the merchant ships of the Five-Port Alliance have returned home. Otherwise, it is self-defeating.

In order to enhance persuasion, Marin will also pull the Scots into the water. For example, when Edward's army arrived in the north of England, the Scots could be invited with them. When sending letters to invite the French, the Scots can also help prove it. After all, the fact that Edward's army was able to cross the Irish Sea would certainly prove that the British ships in the Irish Sea were cleared.

Without knowing that the ships of the Five-Port Alliance were tricked out, the French would definitely think that the Five-Port Alliance had annihilated the main force. Then the French would take out what little wealth they had in the navy and eagerly prepare to cross the sea to join the siege of London. Even, he plans to stay in London in the future... After all, Louis XII must be very interested in annexing the huge England. Otherwise, he wouldn't be busy making villains with the queen every day.

It is said that this grandfather also died in making a villain in the end - he is too eager for a male heir...

Thinking of this, Marin not only thought triumphantly - hey, I am stronger, I gave birth to a son in the first child, and there is an illegitimate son Robert...

Coincidentally, Little Caesar was running wild in the courtyard of the palace at this time, so Marin called Little Caesar over with a smile, touched his head, and said happily:

"Well, it's still my son!"

Hearing his father complimenting him, little Caesar Kaisen was very good, so he begged for a hug. It's a pity that little Caesar rolled on the ground just now, making him covered in mud, which made Marin very disliked and even disgusted.

So, Marin turned his face instantly, kicked the little PP who kicked little Caesar, and said with a stern face:

"Go away, you're covered in mud and still want me to hug you! Go, find your mother to give you a bath!"

Then, little Caesar walked away with a face full of grievances...

After the little guy left, Marin continued to think about how to fuck the French...

Although the French have a long coastline, there are not many merchant ships. They are mainly concentrated in Marseilles in the south and Normandy in the north with a small number of commercial ports. Therefore, there are not many merchant ships in France.

The French and British navy also relies on the recruitment of civilian merchant ships. Unlike later, a professional fleet was formed. At present, the navies of European countries basically hide their soldiers from the people. When the war comes, those merchant ships will be recruited to participate in the war.

After all, building ships and feeding those skilled sailors is a huge expense. And those merchant ships can be maintained because they are profitable. If it is a professional warship, it is a net investment and consumption.

But the European countries in this era are very poor, and the annual financial income of a European country like France is only more than one million gold coins. With such a small amount of money, tens of thousands of troops and so many officials have to be supported, so naturally there is no money left to support the navy. Therefore, it can only be recruited from the people.

After the late 17th century, European countries promoted the national taxation system, the sources of tax revenue were wide, and all countries had money, so they established large-scale fleets belonging to their countries. At the same time, the scale of wars on land has also expanded, from small tens of thousands of wars to large tens of thousands or more than 100,000 people. By the time of the "Seven Years' War" in the 18th century, millions of people had been killed in various countries. And now, there are no million troops in all of Europe combined...

Right now, the French navy is just that. When they gather all the merchant ships, the merchant ships that were cheated out of the Five Harbors Alliance will definitely come back.

As it happens, Marin framed it to the French. At this time, the French would go to hell and send the only thing the Navy had to cross the sea to attack England, and they would surely hit the guns of the angry merchant ship owners of the Five-Port Alliance.

At this time, even if Henry VII did not recruit those merchant ship owners, they would join hands to get rid of all the merchant ships of the French under their anger. Chances are, a lot of French ships will be lost. If the French merchant ships were sunk, then the French troops who wanted to land in England with the ship would surely suffer heavy casualties.

At that time, not only will the French navy be destroyed, but the army will also suffer a serious blow. It is estimated that it will not be slowed down for many years...

"hey-hey……"

"Ah hehe... wow hahaha..."

In Marin's office in the Aurich Palace, Marin's wretched laughter came. At this time, Louis XII, who was far away in Paris, suddenly shuddered. He didn't know, he was ruthlessly calculated by some wretched transmigrator...
