Marin quickly asked the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to contact the United Kingdom to sell 60 million pounds of rye. According to reports, the British side ate the rye chamber of commerce and belonged to the Countess of Salisbury Margaret.

何 Who is Margaret, Count Salisbury? With a brief introduction, Marin remembered who she was ...

Speaking of which, the Countess Margaret came from a great deal. Her father, George, was the brother of King Edward IV and the brother of King Richard III, and was an important member of the Royal Family of York.

Of course, because it is an important member of the "front" royal family, it is unlucky. Margaret's younger brother, Earl of Warwick, has been locked in the Tower of London by Henry VII for threatening the legitimacy of the throne of Henry VII. This is not to say, by the end of November this year, three days after the death of the fake Duke of York, Edward will also be executed by Henry VII.

As for Margaret, Count Salisbury, she did not end well. Both are 70 years old, and were opposed to Henry VIII. He was also ordered to be executed in the Tower of London. Because of the strong resistance, Margaret, Count Salisbury, was the only one executed in the Tower of London who did not bow her head and pleaded guilty, but stood up and ran away. One place. Later, the countess also became the famous grievance of the Tower of London, leaving many haunted legends ...

He Marin sympathized with the unlucky sisters and brothers. He made no mistakes but was killed one after another. No wonder, they gave birth to the wrong family and became the nails of Henry and his son.

Of course, Marin actually has other plans in mind. According to the historical knowledge of Marin's previous life, it was after the killing of Count Edward Warwick that Henry VII's throne was truly stabilized. Then Britain entered a stage of rapid development. By the time of Henry VIII, Britain had begun to create a powerful navy. By the time of Henry VIII's daughter Elizabeth I, Britain had become a naval power ...

And this is exactly what Marin didn't want to see. Because if the British navy becomes strong, it will have a great restraint on Marin's great navigation. As long as the British navy becomes strong and blocks the English Channel casually, it will become difficult for Marin to contact the colonies. Later, the "coachman" of the Netherlands, was so destroyed by the British. Therefore, the strength of Britain is more terrible than the strength of France.

Although the French have great national strength, they have always devoted themselves to continental hegemony and always set their sights on the torn apart Italy. The Italian war is still decades away, and the French are still busy. They have no time to sail. Therefore, the French are not likely to engage in great sailing and have no tradition.

But the British are not the same. Britain itself is an island country, and the foundation of great navigation is very strong. As long as the country stabilizes and saves enough money, it can explode warship artillery. And sailors, there are more in the UK. Therefore, Britain could later compete with the Spaniards and eventually prevail.

French side, it ’s not that you have n’t tried big sailing. However, within France, the aristocracy of the European landlords has always been very strong, and the nautical factions have almost no one. Therefore, when the French engaged in great voyages, the country was first suppressed. In contrast to Britain, because the land is small, the landlords are not strong, and many aristocrats also support great navigation, so it is easy to develop into a maritime power.

Marlin deeply felt the threat from Britain, so he naturally did not want Britain to settle down. If Britain settles down, it won't take many years, if you want, you can develop into a maritime power.

So Marin decided—to find a way to help Edward Count Warwick. As long as Edward is alive, Henry VII and Henry VIII are enough to be intimidated, even if he does not rebel. And the opposition of the Tudor dynasty in Britain will also have the backbone, and will not stop small actions ...

However, it is now October and Edward will be executed by the end of next month. Therefore, Marin felt that a good way was needed, and the cooperation of Margaret, Count Salisbury. Of course, Margaret is definitely willing to cooperate. The second half of her life opposed Henry and her son because his brother was killed unjustly.

However, according to his reports, Henry VII married Margaret to his general, Sir Richard Powell. In fact, Henry VII was so arranged that it meant to raise the identity of his offspring (the Count of Salisbury must be inherited by his descendants), and it also meant that Richard Poll monitored the movement of Margaret. Included.

So, to do this, Count Margaret had to hide her husband ...

For this reason, Marin asked Kohler to secretly recruit a group of strangers and strangers to help the Countess Margaret. These people were selected from the Frisian region. They spoke Frisian and English, and it was also convenient for Count Margaret to direct the transfer.

Of course, this offends Henry VII to death. To this end, Marin requested that the background of East Frisian must not be exposed. Even these strange people were selected from West Frisian ...

Alas, Marin doesn't think that forcible jail is a good choice. The Tower of London is one of Britain's current royal palaces, and its guards are extremely strict. Imagine sending someone forcibly to jail like in a TV series, unless you send all the heroes who can fly to the sky ...

Therefore, if you want to get Edward Earl of Warwick, you can only do it intelligently ...

For this reason, Marin thought for a long time, and finally thought of a way ...

This method is to replace the Lord with a similar look for the dead ghost while visiting the prison ...

However, there are three necessary conditions for this method-the first is the opportunity to bring in the dead ghost to visit the prison, which is the first condition; the second is that the dead ghost must look like the Lord; the third is that the dead ghost must die with peace of mind and cannot betray Lord.

These three conditions are difficult to achieve. Of course, if everything is done, it is not difficult to change the Lord. As for the first condition, Marin thought about it and found it really not difficult. Because there is a force in London that can easily do ...

Margaret wanted to visit the prisoner by herself, and Henry VII had a hard time allowing it. Even if it was allowed, she would send someone to monitor it. However, when others visited the prison, Henry VII would not be so nervous. For example, people in the church send people to visit ...

Of course, church priests do not pay visits to prison, but "redeem" those criminals ...

Moreover, Britain is still a Catholic country, and the church is still under the leadership of the Pope. Even Henry VII had to respect the church. Otherwise, with his current unstable position, the Pope casually called for him to become an illegal puppet master. Even if he can't be overthrown, it can make him troublesome from now on.

So priests in London have a way to talk about Henry VII, go to the Tower of London, tell the criminals the Bible, and redeem their souls ...

More than that, the priests usually wear broad gowns and hoods. The priest wore a hood, and the soldiers did not dare to ask them to take off the hood.

As long as Margaret buys a greedy priest, let the dead to enter the Tower of London as his followers. Then replaced Edward, and it happened. These days, many priests are greedy. If they are willing to give money, what are these things? Moreover, Europeans of this era have never thought of going to death for themselves, and there is no similar defense mechanism ...

As for the second and third conditions ~ www.novelhall.com ~ naturally, it was for the Countess Margaret to get it. What count Count Edward knew was only known to her sister. Looking for a substitute, she is the best ...

Marin wrote these suggestions in a secret letter, and told her to bring her to Count Margaret. Because the Countess Margaret was under surveillance by her husband and used her family, she might leak it. Even, Marin planned to directly subsidize Countess Margaret and let her spend money to buy church people. Because if she spends a lot of money at home, her husband will definitely be alert.

As for funding, it is actually very simple. Marin provided the food, which Count Margaret was supposed to pay. Marin can stop the payment and let the countess rescue her brother ...

Of course, although people took the secret letter, Marin would never reveal his identity. Because once it was revealed, it was going to be revenge with Henry VII, and it might be attacked by the British.

Fortunately, even the people of the "North Sea Chamber of Commerce" did not know that Marin was their chief boss. Because the North Sea Chamber of Commerce was established by Kohler. This relationship, despite its twists and turns, is still easy to detect if it is left behind. However, in the fifteenth century when information exchange was not smooth, it was too difficult to find out. You know, in this era, there are no professional spies and professional detectives in various countries. It is really difficult to investigate something ...

后 After this secret letter was sent to Britain, Marin continued to prepare himself. However, Marin hoped that Count Margaret could succeed. Because as long as Edward, the legal son-in-law of the York family, is alive and escapes, France and Scotland will automatically support him against Henry VII without Marin. After all, France and Scotland have been in love with Britain for many years ...
