Actually, Edward's pacification of the rebels or something is a small matter, and Marin will not be bothered by it. What bothered Marin was a letter from Edward, in which Edward told Marin that he planned to take advantage of the French army's march south and the emptiness in the north, and send troops to the northern part of France......

The reason for the letter to Marlin was because Edward wanted to use one of Marin's two legions. After all, Edward had little confidence in his home army of England. Moreover, he also needs the only elite native legion to protect his safety. Therefore, the choice of sending troops is naturally the best to use Marin's corps.

Marin was now in a dilemma, and he was unwilling to send his own army to attack northern France. Although it is said that the north of France is empty at this time, it is a good opportunity. However, the risks are also high......

First of all, if you send out the legions under Marin, Marin will offend the French to death. At this time, the French had nothing to lose in Italy. If they confessed to the Spaniards at this time and ran back to unite with the German princes to attack themselves, they would have suffered miserably.

In addition, Marin went to great lengths to provoke a war between France and Spain, in order to consume France and Spain, not to help Spain defeat France. After all, in the eyes of Marin, Spain, which has a strong sea power, is more dangerous.

At this time, the troops sent to northern France must be to help Spain. If France loses badly and Spain wins, that's not what Marin wants.

However, Edward was right. The opportunity is rare, the main force of the French army has gone south to Italy. At this time, stabbing France in the back is the best opportunity. Previously, Edward was unable to spare his hands due to domestic rebellion. Now that the rebellion is over dramatically, can he free his hands and not take the opportunity to scare France?

So, Marlin didn't know how to refuse Edward......

……

In fact, adding to France's blockade has always been England's basic national policy. Since the Hundred Years' War and the loss of continental territories such as the Duchy of Aquitaine, successive monarchs of England have not been convinced. Therefore, the successive monarchs of England took it as their mission to find the ballast of France.

Originally, after Henry VIII became the king of England, the British army took the opportunity to sack the northern coastal areas of France because the then French king François I sent a large army south to Italy to compete for hegemony.

However, it was only when Henry VII had Calais as a land stronghold that he was able to land in northern France. And Edward did not have Calais as a stronghold, and it was much more difficult to attack northern France. But if it is replaced by the North Sea ** team to attack the north of France, it will be different. After all, Marin's Beihai ** team has been practicing wading and landing for a long time, and its dependence on the dock is not strong. If you want to attack the north of France, it is not impossible.

But Marin felt that the strength of the English Army was weak, and it was purely thankless to launch such an attack. You can't really bite a piece of meat on France, and when France reacts, it will definitely be beaten away. So, what's the point of such an attack? At most, it's cheap Spain.

And England is like an ex-girlfriend abandoned by a scumbag, unrelenting, but there is no way to kill the "negative man", so he can only disgust the other party.

Speaking of which, France was able to become strong thanks to the Hundred Years' War launched by England. Before the Hundred Years' War, France was about the same as Germany, and it was also divided. At that time, the king of France only had control of Paris and the nearby "Île-de-France", and the area under his control was just over 10,000 square kilometers. The other French feudal states, although not up to the level of the German princes' blatant self-reliance, were really not much of a bird king.

For example, the Duchy of Aquitaine, inherited by the British king, is larger than Île-de-France. Moreover, England also had Burgundy and other French second-five boys to help at that time, and some of them had the confidence to confront the French king.

Even, in the early years of the Hundred Years' War, the British army had the upper hand. Until the later period, the French continued to learn from their failures. Moreover, artillery tactics were developed to counter the longbow tactics of England.

In this hundred years of war, the French royal family not only annexed the Duchy of Aquitaine, the basic plate of England, but also took the opportunity to annex the fiefs of many French nobles who died in battle. Then, by the end of the Hundred Years' War, the French royal family had become the top royal family in Europe. And the French aristocracy was also seized by the royal family because it was difficult to compete with the royal power in strength......

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, England's attack on France is a bit "harmful to others and not to itself"......

……

However, it was difficult to discourage Edward from invading northern France. Edward already had a grudge against France, especially the rebellion, which was provoked by France, which made Edward hold back the fire. It's really hard to get them to give up attacking northern France......

For a moment, Marin had the idea of "whether to kill Edward". But Marin thought about it, and now seemed like the time was not the time. Because, Edward hasn't taken the island of Ireland yet.

This pot was reserved by Marin for Edward, after all, the unification of Ireland, although the name is famous, it is also very hateful. His own son Caesar is still young, and it is always inappropriate to let him go to unify the island of Ireland. What if the Irish hated Caesar and came to assassinate him?

Marin Aiko was very anxious and felt that it would be better to leave this risk to Edward......

"That's right, Ireland!"

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly had inspiration......

The only way to get Edward to abandon his invasion of the northern coast of France was to distract him from another important task. And the annexation of Ireland is obviously a very good option......

In fact, the monarchs of England had long had the idea of annexing Ireland. Even, during the Norman Conquest, England sent troops to the island of Ireland. Therefore, there were later the kingdoms of Kildelbeb, Desmond and Ormond, which were small states during the Norman conquest.

However, for England it seemed that the conquest of the fertile lands of France and the conquest of Scotland, also on the island of Britain, was more important than the conquest of Ireland.

The reason for the seizure of French territory was that it was warmer, more fertile, and located on the mainstream European continent (England was a backcountry at the time). Scotland, on the other hand, was more valued and hostile to England because it was on the same British island. After all, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

In the absence of the conquest of Scotland, England would not seek to seize such a "backwood" as the island of Ireland. Originally, in history, the Stuart dynasty, which was also Scotland, unified England and sent a large army to completely conquer Ireland. It can be seen that for England, the unification of the whole island was the first priority. It's just that what I didn't expect was that it was Scotland who completed this in history......

……

And now, with the help of Marin, Edward has completed the great cause of annexing Scotland. After a few years, it has almost digested Scotland. Now, the time is ripe for the annexation of the island of Ireland......

Moreover, now that the French are heading south to fight for Italy, and have no time to take care of the troubles of Ireland, it is indeed an opportunity for England. At this time, there is no obstacle to sending troops to Ireland. Because, France and Spain, which were able to intervene in England to unify Ireland, were busy desperately trying in Italy......

"Okay, just convince Edward like that!" Marin made up his mind and decided to make a trip to London to persuade Edward to annex Ireland. To this end, he even planned to send troops from his homeland to help conquer the island of Ireland.

I believed that if I went to help Edward conquer England, the French would be able to do things in Italy with peace of mind. Then, everything will go back to the track it set for itself......
