The death of Louis XII affected not only the form of the Duchy of Milan, but also the Kingdom of Naples, which also underwent subtle changes at this time.

Gonzalo. Morality. After learning the news of Louis XII's death, Córdoba kept digging up the ash of Mount Vesuvius and sent it back to China, and at the same time tried to persuade Charles III, Duke of Bourbon, who was defending the city of Naples.

Hearing the bad news of Louis XII's death, Charles III was also a little devastated, and some had no intention of fighting, and wanted to surrender and retreat to his homeland. But his advisors, Charles, the former Duke of Guedes, and now Charles, Count of Nantes, were adamantly opposed to surrender.

Charlie believes that the Spaniards are not well-intentioned. Who knows if the Spaniards will keep their promise and let them retreat north safely. Moreover, the French army in the city of Naples is still strong, and there is a way to smuggle grain along the coast, so there is no need to be afraid at all.

Besides, the volcanic ash of Naples is very important for the rise of France. If you surrender rashly without the permission of the new king, you will definitely be doomed when you go back, and you may be robbed and imprisoned.

Therefore, Charles insisted on holding Naples to the death, and then, waiting for orders from the Parisian side.

After François I succeeded to the throne, he faced a chaotic court situation, and he was also very big. Fortunately, a group of favored servants left by Louis XII before posted it in time, flattering them in every possible way, and also tried to show their talents.

It just so happened that François I had no roots in the court, so he accepted these former favorites. At least, these favored ministers of the Louis XII period were still in high positions at this time, and they were still very useful to him. Until he finds a new reliable favorite, he must rely on this class.

Then, John Brown, who was once very popular during the time of Louis XII. Raffi proposed that because of the importance of volcanic ash, France must defend the city of Naples. Then, wait for the autumn harvest to be followed by a Jedi Strike Back......

François I's mush on the head - what volcanic ash?

Obviously, he didn't know that volcanic ash could be used as fertilizer to increase food production. Then, John. It was only after Lafite detailed the role of the ash that the newly enthroned François I learned the secret.

François I was not a fool, and naturally did not allow this great opportunity for the rise of France to be lost in his hands. Therefore, he sent a message to Charles III, Duke of Bourbon, with a flying pigeon to order that the city of Naples must be defended and wait for the support of the native army.

John. Lafite smiled knowingly, because this was the task given to him by Marin - to keep France at war with the Spaniards. Moreover, the current war situation between West France and France is the most favorable for Marin.

At present, the French occupy only the city of Naples, but they have lost the most important Mount Vesuvius, cutting off the source of ash. The Spaniards, on the other hand, occupy the ash resources of Mount Vesuvius, but there are many mountains and few plains, so the help brought by volcanic ash is limited. It would be bad if, on the other hand, the French were given control of the volcano. Because, France lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of plain arable land. Volcanic ash was only a good help for Spain, but it was a great help for France. Therefore, the current state is the best.

But Marin always felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that if it went on like this, Spain would benefit too much, and it would never be a good thing...... Therefore, he also has to consider secretly helping France at the right time and suppressing Spain appropriately, so as not to make Spain too strong.

However, that is a matter for the future, and as far as this year is concerned, what Marin has to do is to take advantage of the change of French monarchy to reap enough benefits from France. However, without allowing France to collapse.

In fact, François I is not yet firmly seated as King of France. Because, at this time, there is still an expectation in France, that is, it is expected that Queen Anne will give birth to a prince.

Although Louis XII died, before his death, Louis XII made villains with Queen Anne every day. Perhaps, although Louis XII died, Queen Anne was pregnant with a prince.

So, at this time, the great French nobility did not immediately support François I, but were observing whether Queen Anne was pregnant......

However, it will take some time to see it, at least a month or two. So, in the first two months, the crown on the head of François I was actually unreliable. Once Queen Anne showed signs of pregnancy, a large number of French nobles would wait for Queen Anne to give birth. If you give birth to a boy, then you will have fun.

Therefore, before Queen Anne was sure that she was pregnant, François I's throne was in fact full of uncertainty. He had no foundation, and if the nobles of the court supported the child that Queen Anne might be conceiving, his crown would be gone.

Based on this, during this period after ascending the throne, François I was actually full of anxiety in his heart, for fear that his mother-in-law would become pregnant and have a posthumous child or something. In that case, his throne will come to an end.

Only Marin knew that it was impossible for Queen Anne to be pregnant. But the French don't know, so at the moment, the French court is actually not united. Because, many people are waiting to see if Queen Anne is pregnant......

Taking advantage of this moment, Marin arranged for people to start doing a very important thing - killing people......

……

Who is Marlin going to kill? Naturally, it was Margaret, the daughter of the former King of England and the former Queen of Scotland, Tudor, who fled to France.

After this woman ran to France, she also "gave birth" to a child named Henry, who was known as the heir to the throne of Scotland and England, which made Marin very unhappy.

You know, Marin was planning to make Caesar the future monarch of England and Scotland. The existence of this little boy named Henry is definitely a huge threat. In particular, this child also has the support of strong France.

So, Marin is going to kill the "mother and son" no matter what. It's just that he didn't know that this little boy named Henry was just a Xibei goods, and it was simply a fake from Margaret of Tudor. The aim was to use the boy as a banner to rally the remnants of the Tudor dynasty and the Scottish exile in France against the current King of England, Edward.

In fact, if it weren't for Louis XII's expectation that he would be able to give birth to a son to unite England, France would have prepared a large army to support Marguerite to counterattack England and Scotland with that fake son.

Now, with the death of Louis XII, France has lost the opportunity to marry England. When François I reacted and took control of the situation in France, he would definitely make a big fuss about the "mother and son". After all, it's a good excuse to meddle in British affairs.

But now, with François I's throne not yet secured, and Paris in turmoil, Marin had a good chance to take out Marguerite of Tudor.

Therefore, Marin asked John/Raffi to behave well and try to gain the trust of the new king, François I. Then, with some authority, he transferred the soldiers who were protecting the "mother and son" to the Assassins sent by Marin. If this chaotic time is missed, the chances of stabilizing the situation in Paris will be slim......

As long as Marguerite of Tudor and her fake son Henry are killed, the French will have no bargaining chips to interfere in British affairs......
