After all, the Kingdom of Malacca is a backward country, and its army is also very poor. Therefore, Marin did not think that the Kingdom of Malacca would be able to withstand the Portuguese for too long. It may be able to resist for a few years, but as long as the Portuguese are ruthless, Malacca will eventually fall.

Marin's move was nothing more than a slowdown in Portugal's eastward advance. By the time the Portuguese took the Kingdom of Malacca, Marin had already gained a firm foothold in Daming.

In fact, the fall of the Kingdom of Malacca had a great impact on Portugal. Historically, 9 years after the Portuguese captured Malacca, the prince of Malacca, Bintang, sent an envoy to the capital to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that the belligerent Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao happened to be ill at that time and couldn't afford to pay attention to the matter. And those civil servants were opposed to sending troops across the ocean.

However, these ministers made a decision, one that had a great impact on the Portuguese - they did not allow the Portuguese to pay tribute, and seized the Portuguese envoy Pires and demanded that the Portuguese withdraw from the Kingdom of Malacca.

This decision was absurd, but it had the consequence that the Portuguese could not legally trade with the Ming.

It was not until 1557 that the Portuguese came up with a trick - by deceiving and bribing the magistrates, they obtained the right to land and do business in Macao. However, this delay delayed the Portuguese for more than 20 years. During this period, the Portuguese were able to obtain small quantities of silk and porcelain through smuggling. During this period, they also tried to attack the Ming Dynasty, but were repulsed. After discovering that the Ming Dynasty was not easy to mess with, he changed his methods in 1557 and bribed local officials to obtain the small stronghold of Macao.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Malacca was not only geographically important, but also had a huge impact on the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal.

Therefore, Marin planned to ask Columbus to remind the king of the Kingdom of Malacca - if there is anything, find Daming......

Historically, it took 9 years after the destruction of the Kingdom of Malacca to remember to go to the Ming Dynasty for help, which was stupid enough. As long as the Kingdom of Malacca (called the Kingdom of Manchu in the Ming Dynasty) was destroyed by the Portuguese, it asked the Ming Dynasty for help, in the spirit of being responsible for the younger brother, the Ming Dynasty would definitely react. Whether it was a declaration of war on Portugal or, as in the original history, the refusal of Portuguese tribute would worsen relations between the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese. And the Portuguese must not give up the fat they swallowed, so the fall of the Kingdom of Malacca will be the cause of the deterioration of relations between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal.

The Ming Dynasty did not accept the Portuguese, and Marin stepped forward to pat the horse, so the benefits of the Ming trade would be monopolized by Marin. And the Portuguese, at most, can only rely on smuggling to drink some soup, who told them to dare to annex the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty?

In addition, Marin does not plan to take out the Hongyi cannon this time and dedicate it to the Ming Dynasty, but plans to present the most popular rear-loading Furlong machine bronze cannon in Europe. It was not that Marin had blocked the technology of the Ming Dynasty, but because if Marin had cast iron cannons first, then the news was likely to be known by the Portuguese. After all, the Portuguese also know how to bribe and buy information.

Therefore, the first tribute that Marin gave to the Ming Dynasty would be a batch of arquebuses and Furlong bronze cannons. And, it's just a gizmo for the lead. The real killer is sweet potatoes. This was the so-called great killer of the Manchu dynasty, and Marin intended to exchange it for stable trade qualifications.

For an agricultural country, sweet potatoes are definitely a nuclear-weapon-level killer. Is it not shocking that the yield per mu is ten times that of wheat?

Also, sweet potatoes are delicious. Whether it's baked sweet potatoes or made with sweet potato flour, they are delicious. Ma Lin didn't mind sending trained cooks to show the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty the deliciousness of roasted sweet potatoes, duck blood vermicelli, beef vermicelli, or something......

……

In the Tower of London, Henry VII stood in the courtyard with a gloomy face, watching a large group of farmers digging up the land in the palace. Since Edward's successful appeal to the Holy See, Henry VII has become a suspect in the murder of kings.

Although it is known in England that Richard III murdered Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, the question is - what about the corpse?

Without a body, who can prove that Richard III killed Edward V and Richard, Duke of York? Perhaps, they are really missing?

Pope Julius II's verdict, Henry VII could not find fault with it. Indeed, the absence of the bodies of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, makes it impossible to prove that Richard III was a regocide. If it cannot be proved that Richard III was a regocide, then Henry VII himself became a regever. Even if he marries the daughter of Edward IV, it is useless, the murderer of kings, the guilty person, it is useless to marry anyone. Besides, the York family still has Edward, the male heir, alive, and it is not the turn of the princess. After all, if it could not be proved that Richard III was the killer of kings, Edward would be the rightful heir. Because, during the reign of Richard III, after the death of his son, he once appointed Edward, Earl of Warwick, as crown prince......

Although Richard III later changed the son of his sister Elizabeth of York to the Earl of Lincoln, it was unreasonable. Because, the Earl of Lincoln was not a member of the House of York. According to the law, Edward is the rightful heir. Because of this, Henry VII was very jealous of Edward, imprisoned him for more than ten years, and finally cut him down, but did not move the Earl of Lincoln. Because, Richard III made the Earl of Lincoln the crown prince, which was a chaotic government, and it was also one of the reasons for his rebellion......

It's just that it's been more than twenty years since Richard III murdered Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. At first, Henry VII did not fail to look for him, but after rummaging through the Tower of London, he did not find the body of Edward V.

Originally, this matter would have passed. After all, who has nothing to worry about a failed dead man? But now, Edward, Earl of Warwick, has escaped and established himself as Edward VI, making Henry VII furious.

It's just that Marin's poisonous plan has caused chaos in the northern counties of England and even the central counties. Now, Sir Richard Poer's army has 10,000 men left to keep law and order in the Midlands, and to guard against the outcasts.

After more than a year of recovery, and this year's autumn harvest in which the rich counties of southern England were harvested, Henry VII had intended to send troops to regain control of the central and northern counties. However, the Pope's verdict disrupted his entire plan.

Now, Henry VII's greatest task is not to pacify the north, but to dig up the body of Edward V. Preferably, find it inside the Tower of London's Royal Palace. In this way, the rumors of his murder could be confirmed, so as to establish the crime of Richard III's murder and find a legal basis for Henry VII's rebellion.

Moreover, Henry VII could not be fooled around. The Holy See was accompanied by representatives of France and Scotland. The representatives of the two countries stared unblinkingly at the farmers who were digging the land in the palace in the Tower of London, lest they miss a detail......

Originally, Henry VII had planned to find the corpses of two teenagers to impersonate. However, France and Scotland sent in experts who could identify the bones. Whether it is a corpse that has been dead for more than 20 years, people can tell it at a glance. What's worse is that they require that the bones must be dug up under supervision, and they can't just find two bones to intersect. Moreover, they questioned the old man in detail, and determined the height and size of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, before they disappeared, so that they could check in detail to avoid being fooled.

In this way, it was difficult for Henry VII to do anything if he wanted to. With the French and Scots staring at each other, it was really difficult to find a suitable replacement, so they had to dig three feet into the ground in the Tower of London.

However, even if Henry VII sent someone to dig ten feet in the Tower of London, it would be useless. Because, the bodies of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, were built inside the wall...... If you are looking in the wrong direction, you are destined to gain nothing......

So, Henry VII is in a hurry...... In the end, Henry VII even sent men to dive into the River Thames near the Tower of London to dig up the mud and the big guys in a desperate attempt to find two suitable bones. However, that is also in vain......
