Chapter 714: The Ship That Must Sink

Immediately after the conversation with Edward, Marin sent someone to secretly summon the head of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in London, and ordered him to start arranging for the cook to infiltrate Edward's palace.

After Marin helped Edward capture London, only a small number of people from the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were exposed, including the people who captured the West Gate, and the crews of 10 merchant ships. Most of the rest chose to continue to lurk until Marin took control of England.

The representative of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, who was in charge of the lurking, immediately arranged for people to be killed after returning from Marin, and kept an eye on the officials sent by Edward to spy on the celebrity chef. At the same time, he sent people, disguised as civilians, to deliberately praise the chefs trained by the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in front of the officials sent by Edward to spy on the famous chefs. Of course, they will also buy some gangsters who have nothing to do to help make a name for themselves in those cooks.

At the same time, Marin also urgently sent real chefs to secretly give special training to those cooks to improve their cooking skills. However, they were not taught to cook any Chinese or French food. Why? Because they are supposed to be native cooks in England, it stands to reason that it is impossible to understand the methods of Chinese and French cuisine. Otherwise, it will definitely arouse Edward's suspicions. So, they don't know Chinese and French food, but in the English dark cuisine world, being the best dark chef is the best choice. In fact, it is to incorporate a little frying technique, make the dark cuisine less terrible, and strive to stand out from the crowd of dark chefs...... Then, waiting to be selected into the palace as the imperial chef......

In fact, Marin had planned to go back immediately. After all, it's September, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, and he has to return to China to preside over the autumn harvest. But Edward had one more thing to do, so he left him behind......

What is this? It was the ship that sank the children of Edward's cousins......

Previously, Marin had given Edward the idea of carrying the children of several of his cousins out to sea in a glued-bonded boat, and then drown them in the English Channel. Edward then gave the errand to Marin, whose shipyard was responsible for building the ship......

Fortunately, while Marin was anxiously waiting, the good-looking ship finally arrived......

In Hastings Harbour, Marin's shipbuilders arrived at a secretly established dockyard with shipbuilding materials and a large amount of glue......

In fact, this group of shipbuilders had already tried many times at the Emden shipyard and finally decided on a scheme for a glued ship. After testing, the glued boat they made would not have an accident within half a day of going to sea. Of course, in the middle of the English Channel, where the wind and waves are strong, the accident rate is very high, and the breakup rate is 100 percent......

It's just that it is impossible for such a ship to sail to the UK. So, the shipbuilders had to re-disassemble the ship, ship it to England in bulk, and glue it back together......

Edward IV's three daughters, Princess Cecily of York, Princess Anne of York, and Princess Catherine of York, their husbands, because they followed Henry VII, or they were all members of Henry VII's faction, otherwise Henry VII would not have let them marry their sister-in-law...... So, in that massacre, the husbands of all three princesses died. And the three princesses were also sent to the convent, together with Princess Bridget of York, who had long been a nun......

But the disposition of the children of the three princesses has become a problem. After all, the three princesses were all members of the House of York, and their husbands did not directly participate in the Battle of Bosworth, which killed the king. As a result, it is not possible to connect their children.

However, the children of the three princesses, strictly speaking, are all qualified to inherit the throne, and they are very high. After all, all three princesses were daughters of former King Edward IV. If it weren't for the fact that the current inheritance law does not recognize the queen, these three princesses might have a higher line of succession than Edward.

In fact, the first Queen of England was Jane. Gray. Although she did not become queen for a few days and was executed by Mary I, she was indeed the first queen of England. However, that was also after the Protestant Reformation. It was still the age of Catholicism, and the English were not so open. Therefore, the daughter of Edward IV has not yet inherited as much as Edward. However, if Edward died, the male of their descendants would have a higher succession priority.

Moreover, their children, especially men, were easily embraced by Edward's opposition as hostile monarchs. And Richard III and Henry VII are exemplars of being killed by rival monarchs......

With these two precedents, how could Edward tolerate the existence of three cousins' children? But he couldn't just order the execution. Therefore, it is the best option to let them die "accidentally......

After a few days, the glue of the gluing boat was almost dry. So Edward kindly called several nephews and nieces over to him, gave them a lot of money, and allowed them to go into exile and become rich men......

In fact, several of the children are very small, after all, their mothers are not too big. I thought I would be killed by this cruel cousin, but being able to leave England alive is definitely a good ending. So, several children cheered.

Soon after, Edward sent the children to the docks in Port Hastings. He was accompanied by the servants of the families to which these children belonged. However, in order to prevent accidents, Edward specially selected people with poor swimming skills, or simply did not return useful minions, so as to avoid these people from being saviors at sea......

On the docks, Edward deliberately put several boats away. But with the exception of the glued-out ship, several other ships were deliberately arranged to be small and broken......

Edward pretended to let them choose, and of course the children chose the ship that looked new and good. Originally, Edward had planned to arrange a few sailors for them. But among the children's minions, there are servants who know a little bit about how to control the sails. In order to prevent the little masters from being arranged by Edward, these servants refused Edward's arrangement and volunteered to ask themselves and others to escort the little masters to France on the other side. After all, King Louis XII of France was unhappy with Edward, and would definitely take care of a few little masters to disgust Edward's ......

However, the best port to go to France is Dover. Because, opposite the port of Dover is the port of Calais. Moreover, the Calais Strait is only a few tens of kilometers wide, and it is easy to cross.

But Edward personally sent them to Port Hastings, and they couldn't help it. However, crossing from Port Hastings is nothing. At most, just take a little more time.

Eventually, under Edward's thoughtful eyes, the loyal servants loaded the little masters and the gold and silver possessions presented by Edward onto the beautiful ship made of glue, and set sail for the opposite France......

"Oh, I don't want to...... However, for the sake of the stability of the throne of England in the future......," Edward shook his head and left the port. But before leaving, he asked Marin to send a boat to follow from a distance to see the effect.

As for Marin, he naturally sent a small fishing boat to follow from afar, and also brought binoculars to observe whether several children were really drowned, and whether anyone rescued them. If someone rescues them, they have to find a way to hunt them down......
