After solving the French, the next step is to solve Edward's problem once and for all. Therefore, Henry VII ordered General Turnbull to lead half of the warships to blockade the Irish Sea and completely block Edward's back route back to the island of Ireland.

Well, it's time to completely solve Edward's forces on the island of Britain......

However, Henry VII was also concerned that Edward would flee to Scotland north of Hadrian's Wall after his defeat. Edward himself had 10,000 people, and Scotland also had more than 10,000 people, and if the two were combined, it would be difficult to deal with......

And as far as Henry VII knew, most of Edward's army consisted of French mercenaries. In order to trick Edward, Henry VII sent an envoy to France to demand a ransom for the prisoners of war, and at the same time, ordered the waiter to deliberately accidentally reveal that it was Edward's people who told Henry VII the secret of the French's troops......

In this way, the French, who had suffered great losses, would surely be furious. If France had sent small ships to the Irish Sea at that time, the English fleet would have pretended to turn a blind eye......

This was because the enraged French would send messengers to tell the thousands of French mercenaries who were working for Edward. Perhaps Edward's army was in chaos first......

Most of Edward's army were French, the so-called "mercenaries" sent by Louis XII. But they were actually regular French troops, and Edward's non-French soldiers numbered only two or three thousand. If there is information from the French side that Edward betrayed France and caused France to suffer heavy losses, then those French soldiers must have separated from Edward, and there may be infighting. With those two or three thousand non-French soldiers alone, Henry VII could think with his toes that the other party would definitely be finished.

Henry VII's strategy was not without insidiousness and viciousness, and if Edward had really relied heavily on French soldiers, he would have doomed Edward indeed.

However, Henry VII did not know that Edward had already taken Marin's line. Now, Edward had already gone to Marin with a large army......

After bloodbathing Lancashire, the Lancastrian nest, Edward led his army east and into Yorkshire......

Yorkshire, naturally, is the home base of the York family. When Edward's White Rose Banner entered Yorkshire, it was welcomed by many Yorkshire people who were still here.

Although Yorkshire suffered a severe famine due to the raids of the Scottish army, more than half of the people fled south. But since last year, many Yorkshires have returned to their homeland, using their savings to buy seeds and continue farming.

It's just that because this is the basic plate of the York family, King Henry VII even wants Yorkshire to collapse completely, so the British royal family didn't care about Yorkshire's life or death at all last year. Of course, it didn't care about the life and death of the other northern counties, except for Lancashire's basic base Lancashire and Chester County......

The people of Yorkshire naturally supported the Yorkshire dynasty, not the Lancastrian dynasty, and still less the Tudors. So, upon entering Yorkshire, Edward was warmly welcomed by the locals. Then, surrounded by local celebrities, Edward's army entered Yorktown, the heart of Yorkshire......

Later, Marin, who got the news, also personally led an army of 20,000 from the mountains and forests of southern Northumberland, along the Pennines Mountains, to the mountains and forests west of York Vale, where Yorktown is located. However, there were no public appearances......

The reason for this, Marin has his own considerations. In his opinion, although his own army was not weaker than the British. However, after the French were trapped, Edward's French army did not know if they would continue to help Edward fight. Therefore, his army of 20,000 men was to be ready to take on the task of countering the main force of the Great Army of England.

Of course, that army, which was mainly French, was still somewhat useful. For example, they could attract most of the attention of the English army......

Marin believed that Yorktown, the capital of Yorkshire, was the key to the war. Edward, as the heir to the House of York, had no problem staying in Yorktown. And Henry VII, after cleaning up the French army, will definitely wave his army north. And the York Vale, where York City is located, is a good battlefield.

If Edward's 10,000 troops, mainly French, were stationed in York, it would attract British troops to surround it. And his own army, taking advantage of the British siege of York, suddenly came out of the Pennines and attacked the back of the English army, and the probability of victory would be higher......

In addition, when the French were trapped, Marin was very worried about the safety of Edward and his family. Of course, the most important thing is the safety of Edward's daughter Margaret...... If Edward's French soldiers found out something and ended up in a mutiny, Edward and his family would be in danger......

You know, Edward himself was somewhat repulsive to the French. After landing with his army, Edward took only his wife Anna and daughter Margaret, as well as some of his own cronies. As for Anna's servants from France, Edward didn't bring any of them, leaving them all in Dublin......

It was difficult not to arouse the suspicion of Edward's French soldiers. Because, without those French servants, it became difficult for the French soldiers to obtain some private information about Edward.

If the news of the French army's defeat in the English Channel came again at this time, perhaps some French soldiers would react and suspect Edward. As a result, Edward and his family are now in danger......

Therefore, Marlin sent a letter to Edward, telling him that in order to prevent a rebellion after the French soldiers found out something, it was best for Edward and his family to come to Marin's army and accept the protection of the army of the Grand Duchy of Beihai......

After receiving Marin's letter, Edward was a little hesitant. Because, he didn't trust Marin very much. However, when he received a secret letter from his sister Margaret, he immediately changed his mind and took his wife Anna and daughter Margaret to hide in Marin's camp in the Pennines......

As for the city of York, Edward was handed over to the French commander François. Before leaving, Edward told François to continue to hold York in his name and attract British troops to attack. Edward, on the other hand, would lead a large army to attack the British army from the flank after the siege of the city, in order to achieve the goal of "deciding the outcome of the first war......

In order to fool François, Edward promised that if he won the battle, once he became King of England, he would canonize François as Earl of England and own the de facto fiefdom of a county in England......

The big cake painted by Edward really fooled the French commander and the knight François so much that he couldn't find the north. Even, I had the idea of leaving the Dharma King and following Edward. After all, the King promised nothing more than a baron. And Edward is more arrogant, and he gives it to the earl! Moreover, there is still a county fief with real power......

So, the Knight of François patted his chest and promised Edward that he would defend the city of York and wait for the British army to attack Edward from inside and outside......

After fooling the French, Edward took his wife and daughter and hid in the secret camp of Marin in the Pennines, waiting for the arrival of the English army......

In this way, Edward and Marin triumphantly reunited...... Belch...... No, Edward's family should have taken refuge in Marin's camp......
