The Rise of the European Emperor

Siwager's intuition was really accurate, and on the same night he 'exchanged' the recruit training method with the Francois knight, Edward and Marin discussed how to get rid of the Francois knight:

"Grand Duke Marin, I didn't know that you raised a new army before, I was afraid that the seven thousand French army would rebel, so in order to stabilize the French army, I casually promised an earl to the Francois knight. -79 Novel Network - But, I'm afraid again... It's not that I'm not keeping my word, but that he is French. If the French become a real count with a county in England, they will definitely collude with Louis XII to invade again. England's..."

After being silent for a while, Marin asked rhetorically:

"So, what does Your Majesty mean?"

"I know you have a lot of ideas, so I want to ask you, is there any way to go back? After all, it is too dangerous for a judge to be an earl in England..." In fact, Edward wanted to ask Ma How Lin killed Francois. However, for fear of scaring Marin, he used a more euphemism.

After thinking for a while, Marin lowered his head and replied:

"Why don't your Majesty assign him to the island of Ireland? You can abolish the original Earl of Kildare and confer this title to Francois."

"This...I'm also worried...François will collude with the French and annex the island of Ireland..." To put it bluntly, Edward wanted to completely default on his debt...

"Sure enough, it's not a good thing..." Marin snorted coldly in his heart. However, speaking of it, his Marin is not a good thing...

In fact, as the number one conspirator in Europe at present, Marin knew very well that Edward had the intention to kill the Francois knight. As someone who will split Northumberland and the Isle of Wight from Edward in the future, Marin also feels a little sad about this.

Marin, however, was not worried that Edward would murder him. Because, for now, Edward couldn't play without him. If he killed himself, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Beihai could chop Edward into 'meat' sauce at any time.

The only thing to worry about is Edward's black-bellied sister. The other party has 'obtained' a very powerful chronic 'sex' poison 'drug'. What Marin fears most is to die from that kind of chronic 'sex' poison 'drug'. Fortunately, Marin had long planned to strike first and 'kill' Princess Margaret. Therefore, he is not worried about his own safety, at least it is completely fine now.

Moreover, after helping Edward ascend the throne, Marin does not plan to stay in England for long, nor will he give Edward a chance to start.

However, the French are indeed the common enemy of both sides. So, Marin finally decided to help Edward come up with an idea:

"So,

Your Majesty, can this Francois knight swim? "

Edward thought for a while and said:

"No, the seven thousand French soldiers and high-ranking officers are all knights. The French knights are basically landlubbers, and very few can swim. Only the bottom French soldiers and fishermen are good at swimming... Why? , is there a way?"

"Well...I thought of a way, we can make a special boat..." Then, Marin began to describe in detail...

The method is very simple. It was learned by Marin from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Master Huang 'Yao' built a gorgeous 'flower' boat to bury himself in the sea so that he could go underground to accompany his dead wife. The ship looks fine on the outside, but it's actually very weak, and it will fall apart quickly when it encounters wind and waves.

That's because the boat was glued together, not nails. The wood is glued together, of course, it is fine in a static state, but once it encounters wind and 'waves', it will soon be a cup...

Edward also said that French knights are all landlubbers. Then, put those landlubber French knights on a wooden boat glued together with glue, and don't let the fishermen's children who can swim in it. Wait until the middle of the English Channel. ...at the level of wind 'waves' in the English Channel, sure to 'break' the boat to pieces. At that time, a boat of judges will have to feed the fish...

"What if a French soldier from a nearby boat that can swim comes to the rescue?"

"It's very simple, let our sailors drive the ship. When in the middle of the English Channel, let the sailors who drive the ship deliberately distance the ship from the other ships. When the other ships find something wrong and come over, those French knights The gentlemen have almost all sunk... As for our sailors, they are all able to swim, and they will definitely last until the arrival of the rescue boat..."

"This tactic...it's poisonous...but, it's pretty good..."

Edward suddenly found out that this Marin is really poisonous... He just wanted to renege on his debt and murder the Francois Knight, while Marin directly planned to kill the seven thousand French officers... But, okay Enjoyable...

Marin sneered in his heart—a ship of officers drowned, and Britain and France were even more at odds with each other. As for yourself, you can laugh at the British and French tearing apart the 'force'...

After the death of Louis XII, the limelight has passed, and Marin can take over England after cleaning up Edward...

Louis XII probably died in 1515, almost ten years later. With these ten years, Marin can definitely grow and develop. At that time, even in France, Marin will have the capital to confront it. At that time, when I took over England, I was not afraid of the pressure from France. As for Edward, Marin really didn't care. His balls have been kicked, and even if he is given 20 years, there will be no other children. As long as little Princess Margaret is safe, her son's joint rule of England will be secure...

...

However, Edward does not have a shipyard now, so naturally he cannot produce the kind of pure glue-bonded ship. Therefore, this task has to fall into the hands of Marin...

To this end, Marlin sent people to Newcastle, and asked them to send a ship back to the port of Emden to notify the shipyard to 'get' such a ship out. Of course, the structural wood is processed and ready for glue and paint. After Edward took London, the material was sent to England for temporary assembly and gluing. Otherwise, it will be useless even if it is glued in Emden. Once in the sea, it will fall apart. It can only be used when it is glued when it is delivered to the UK port. Moreover, temporary bonding, the probability of falling apart is even greater. If it is glued for a long time, it may be very strong... However, during this time, Emden Shipyard can test by itself how long this kind of ship can fall apart. It is best to stick to the middle of the sea and then fall apart, otherwise, it will fall too soon, and those French knights will fall into the sea before they leave the coast of England, and they are easy to be rescued...

After discussing the matter of using glued boat pit judges, Marin began to arrange night training for his troops. Edward asked curiously:

"Why do you train your soldiers at night?"

Marin answered frankly:

"Because I'm going to attack Henry Percy's army at night..."

"What?" Edward was taken aback...

"Your army is so strong? Why do you still attack the enemy at night? It's not necessary, right?"

In Edward's opinion, Marin's army was stronger than Henry Percy's 20,000 English army. You can win from the front, let alone a surprise attack from behind? But Marin was a little too shameless, he won all the time, and he even attacked at night shamelessly...

Marin knew that Edward must have despised him, but he said indifferently:

"Your Majesty, Henry Percy has six or seven thousand elite longbowmen in his hands. If they attack them during the day, their longbowmen will rain down a few rounds of arrows, and my men will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. And if they attack at night while the opponent is sleeping, then it will be difficult for their longbowmen to form a formation and 'shoot' a rain of arrows. In this way, my men can also reduce a lot of casualties..."

Edward nodded, but was still a little hard to let go:

"It's just that this will damage your reputation..."

"Reputation? I don't care, I just want victory!" Marin replied decisively. He is a believer in the "white cat and black cat theory", reputation and so on, count as a P...

Moreover, he himself made his fortune by attacking the French army of Charles VIII at night, and his reputation has already been stinky, so why is it worse?
