The Rise of the European Emperor

Things did not go beyond Marin and Edward's expectations. After half a day, the ship sailed to the middle of the English Channel, and finally due to the beating of the wind and waves, the glued parts fell off and fell apart. Then, the whole ship started sinking...

For a while, desperate cries came from the ship. A few servants who can swim, carrying the little masters on their backs, swam hard towards the land. However, now the ship has been inland for dozens of kilometers, and the swimming skills of the few servants who can swim are not high, not to mention carrying children on their backs... Finally, under the gaze of the telescope of the scout on the fishing boat sent by Marin , a boat of people were swallowed up by the vast sea. During this period, no other ships appeared and rescued them...

"Your Majesty, it's done!" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Marin quickly reported to Edward.

Edward let out a long sigh of relief—there are no more contenders for the throne now...

After further questioning, I learned that when the ship sank, there were no other witnessing ships nearby. In this way, this thing is done without knowing it.

As for Marin as the executor, will it be revealed? Edward wasn't worried. After all, Marin was also an accomplice in the killing of the English royal family, and was the main executor. As long as you're not brainless, you'll never talk about it. Otherwise, it will definitely become a street rat.

From then on Edward would pretend not to know the whereabouts of several nephews and nieces. After all, Edward amicably sent those nephews and nieces to the boat under the onlookers of many people. However, it is a pity that those gold and silver jewelry have also sunk into the sea. But this is also a good thing. Edward publicly let people move a lot of jewelry onto the ship. Many people have seen this. If one day everyone finds out that those children are dead, Edward can shirk it completely - maybe someone killed them because of money...

You must know that the boat was not specially arranged by Edward, but was chosen by several children in public (actually, it was using the psychology of children who like new and beautiful things to induce them to choose the glued boat, and also specially used a few broken boats. to set off). This has been witnessed by many people, so it is hard to say that Edward deliberately gave the bad boat. Moreover, none of the people on the ship had been arranged by Edward, they were all servants of several children's families. So, no matter where you look, Edward has enough reasons to pick himself out...

After solving these confidants, Marin's mission was finally completed. So Marin said goodbye to Edward, saying that he should go back. Marin has been taking the army with him in England for a few months. If he doesn't go back, the two sons may forget him... In addition, his sister, Anne, seems to be getting married...

Moreover, there is a very important piece of information from Poland - Alexander I, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, died on August 19. The heir to the throne of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania was Marin's brother-in-law, Prince Sigismund.

That is to say, now that Anne married, she would be the queen directly. Hearing this news, Old Hoffman wrote a letter strongly requesting Marin to return to China as soon as possible, and when Anne got married in October, he sent a large number of troops to escort Anne to Krakow, the capital of Poland. Wedding in the capital of the kingdom...

Unlike Alexander I, who liked to stay in Vilnius, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Sigismund I preferred to stay in Poland. Because, in Poland, people called him His Majesty the King. And in Lithuania, everyone calls him the Grand Duke...

When Anne became the Queen of Poland, Marin didn't feel much, but the old Hoffmans were so excited - that was the queen, the mother of a nation!

Therefore, both old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary asked Marin to return home quickly. In addition, at least a few thousand elite troops must be dispatched to escort Anne to Poland.

The reason for this was that the old Hoffmans were worried that the Poles looked down on Anne's origin. After all, Annie's father used to be just an ordinary knight.

Therefore, Old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary both hope that Marin can send thousands of good-looking elite troops to escort Anne to Krakow all the way.

Make a name for Annie to keep those Poles down...

Even, in the eyes of old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary, the autumn harvest, which is about to begin, is not important...

Marin couldn't help laughing and laughing after reading the letter from home, but he somewhat understood the thoughts of old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary. After all, they are just the native ancient European aborigines, and they respect the kingship very much. When they learned that their daughter might become the queen, the old couple almost went crazy, and they almost revealed agricultural secrets to Sigismund I before. So, this time, asking yourself to help out is quite normal.

Coincidentally, Marin also intends to strengthen relations with Sigismund I. After all, a Polish kingdom and a Lithuanian grand duchy are definitely strong political allies.

However, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania are both countries with strong nobles, and the king cannot act arbitrarily. Therefore, Sigismund I actually needed strong allies to cheer him up in order to quell those nobles.

So, Marin planned to bring 10,000 troops to escort Anne to Krakow, Poland, to scare the Polish nobles. Not only for Anne, but also for Sigismund I. Only when Sigismund I had a stronger voice would it make sense to make contacts with Poland and Lithuania. If it's a puppet, it's boring.

Of course, Sigismund I was not mediocre. History has proven its ability to be good. After all, it was this man who originally bought the Crimean Khanate. Since the Crimean Khanate and the Grand Duchy of Moscow turned against each other, the situation in Poland and Lithuania has improved a lot immediately, from being beaten by hairs to having a slight upper hand. If it weren't for the large number of Maozi people, the more concentrated royal power, and the more resources that could be mobilized, it might be very useful...

But in any case, Sigismund I is capable, but he has only been on the throne for a month, and he has not yet been able to control the overall situation. At this time, Marin helped him through the wedding, which was definitely a great help to him.

Therefore, before returning home, Marin wrote to Sigismund I, asking him if he needed to bring thousands of horses to cheer him...

As a result, the other party replied quickly. When Marin had just landed at Emden Harbor with the army, Prince Sigismund's reply had already been delivered quickly through Marin's newly built post system.

Prince Sigismund very, very welcomes Marin to bring an army of 10,000 people to the wedding, and even, he said, is willing to provide most of the food for the army. Moreover, because Poland is a country where knights are respected, there are many knight nobles in the territory, so Prince Sigismund hopes that Malindo will bring some plate armor knights to show off to those Polish nobles...

In fact, whether it is Marin or Sigismund I, it is very clear-since the appearance of Marin's platoon of guns, the role of knights in war has been greatly reduced. However, the old-fashioned and powerful nobles of the Kingdom of Poland just eat this way. Show them the knights armed to better them.

But the problem is——the number of knights under Marin is really not many...

Most of Marin's soldiers were recruited from the mountains of southern Germany. The wandering knights from the knight family, Marin's subordinates only have more than a thousand people, they were specially recruited from the Teutonic Kingdom, and most of them were organized into lancers.

And what country is Poland? The country of lancers. In the war with Sweden, 20,000 knights...more than 1,000 lancers were directly used to demonstrate? Isn't Nima a classy axe?

However, Marin was quick-witted and quickly came up with a solution - he remembered that he still had 2,000 black-shirted knights. Although these goods are light cavalry, they are also cavalry...

Just in time, another batch of zinc ingots came back from the Americas, and Marin decided to cut out a batch of light horse armor and "plate armor" from galvanized tinplate. In this way, the two thousand black-shirted knights were barely able to put on the silvery "plate armor"...

Such a group of "knights" wearing shiny tin "plate armor" may be very bluffing to go to Poland...
