After the Treaty of Nantes was signed, Louis XII felt uncomfortable watching Marin and Edward leave shoulder to shoulder. After all, in Louis XII's view, Edward was mainly supported by himself to get to where he is today. But now, Edward is shoulder-to-shoulder with Marin, and hires Marin's army to fight. Obviously, this is somewhat out of French control.

"Hmph, this kid really doesn't know what to do!"

After saying this, Louis XII called the guards and commanded:

"Inform the Earl of Durt to send Emmett to Dublin as soon as possible. Before I send out in early May, I want to hear from him that he has succeeded! ”

"Yes!" The guard turned and left, and went to inform Count Durt.

This Emmett is the master of kicking eggs that Louis XII found from the people. After a period of training, it was found that this person's footwork was indeed excellent. Many male dogs that have been kicked by him have indeed lost their fertility, but their mating ability has not been lost......

For no reason, Edward, who was talking to Marin, felt a chill in his crotch......

There is a reason why Edward is close to Marin, because his life is actually saved by Marin. If Marin hadn't helped Lord Margaret in the name of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce and replaced him with a boy with a similar appearance, Edward would have been executed by Henry VII long ago.

After knowing that Marin was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, Edward was naturally extremely close to Marin. Moreover, Marin's identity has no basis for competing with him for the throne of England. Unlike France, which had long ambitions to annex England.

Of course, poor Edward didn't know that Marlin had saved him in the first place. Moreover, the reason was only to add to the obstruction of Henry VII's England, and the purpose was no different from that of France and Scotland. However, as events unfolded, Marin discovered that he could gain control of England by marrying Edward's daughter, Edward was doomed to tragedy......

However, if you think about it seriously, Marin is also worthy of Edward. Because, if Marin didn't make a move, Edward would have been beheaded by Henry VII as early as 1497, how could he have a chance to become the king of England? Leaving Margaret such a daughter? was able to live for many more years, and lived the addiction of being a king, leaving behind a daughter...... Edward didn't lose this wave......

After sending Edward back to Limerick at the mouth of the River Shannon in the southwest of the island of Ireland, Marin returned with his fleet. He still has a lot to do when he returns home.

The previously prescribed army of 20,000 must have been transported to England, so as soon as Marin returned, he began to arrange this matter.

After all, 20,000 troops is not a small number. The key is to be secretive. So, it would take several months for Marin to slowly transport the 20,000 troops. Even, they will choose to land in Newcastle at night.

Now, Newcastle City and the surrounding area are completely under Marin's control. However, along the coast, sometimes there are also reconnaissance ships from London. Because, according to the plan, Henry VII originally planned to send troops north after the spring ploughing to recover the central and northern regions of England. So, recently reconnaissance ships began to operate and reconnoiter along the coast of northern England.

The best way to avoid these scout ships is to land at night. After all, in the absence of binoculars, the English reconnaissance ship could not see far even during the day, let alone at night. At night, the reconnaissance ships from London will certainly not be haunted.

However, for safety reasons, boats are certainly not allowed on cloudy nights. Because, there is no light at night on a cloudy day, and it is impossible to determine the course according to the constellation, it is easy to get lost. Therefore, if you want to transport troops at night, you can only choose a night with a moon. In this way, it was possible to avoid the reconnaissance ships in London and sail safely.

To this end, Marin specially recruited a group of captains from the captain's school who were familiar with the astrological art invented by the Arabs for night sailing, and directed the ships to sail at night and landed in Newcastle.

Of course, in addition to transporting soldiers, the fleet also had to transport a large number of supplies. After all, the north of England has been badly damaged in the past two years, and there is a lack of food. If you want to maintain the consumption of 20,000 troops, you must have to transport supplies by Marin himself.

In addition, it is also necessary to bring a large number of artillery, stone throwers and other heavy siege weapons to cooperate with the attack on the southern cities.

Fortunately, there were still three or four months to go until May, and Marin still had enough time to quietly transport 20,000 troops and enough baggage to Newcastle in batches.

However, the reconnaissance ships that Henry VII discharged from London were too much of a hindrance. As soon as a reconnaissance ship discovers the fact of transporting troops from Marin, then the whole plan will be in vain.

It's not that Marlin can't defeat the English navy, but once it is discovered by Henry VII, Marin needs to dispatch all its sea forces to fight Henry VII's English navy.

If you lose, it goes without saying that everything will be over. If it wins, the English navy will be completely destroyed, but it is not a good thing. Because, this is tantamount to making a wedding dress for the French. After all, if the English navy is finished, the French, who are the feud of England, will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will inevitably send troops across the Channel to destroy England.

Therefore, Marin felt that it was better not to alarm Henry VII. However, the reconnaissance ships that appeared from time to time on the coast of the north of England were so annoying that they had to find a way to solve them......

"How do I fix it......" Marin pondered......

Suddenly, Marin remembered that when he sent people to take over Jutland in Denmark, he had accepted a group of Danish pirates who had defected.

The pirates were the children of Danish fishermen, who usually fished, but when they encountered a lone merchant ship, they sometimes made a cameo appearance as a pirate. However, the roots of this group of pirates are in the fishing villages on the west coast of Jutland, and they are not willing to leave their homeland. So, after Marin took control of Jutland and sent warships on patrol, the pirates were forced to surrender......

Originally, the deeds of this group of fishermen and pirates who were forced to surrender were only viewed as an interesting story. After all, these pirates fought by jumping ship gangs, and they didn't have any skills, and Marlin didn't think they were talents, and they didn't have the heart to recruit. As long as they obey their own laws, Marin doesn't intend to care about them.

But now, Marlin feels like he can use them......

The pirates were divided into several parts, totaling about two or three hundred people, all of whom were Danish fishermen who were familiar with life at sea, but were also proficient in ship combat and were good at using scimitars.

With such a small number of people, it may not be enough to fight a naval battle. However, it was enough to fight the reconnaissance ships of England......

According to information from Newcastle, England's reconnaissance ships were all small boats, and the crew on board generally did not exceed 20 people. It would be fitting for a group of Danish pirates to intercept them in a clipper.

Marin, of course, did not intend to make a move on the coast of the north of England. For that would alarm Henry VII and make him look to the northern coast of England. In this way, his troop transport activities are more easily exposed.

Marin's plan was to instruct the Danish pirates to intercept and destroy the reconnaissance ships sent by Henry VII off the coast of Suffolk and Norfolk in southeastern England.

The home port of the scout ships was London, and Marin could send Danish pirates to sail the clippers to surround and sink them while they headed north. At the same time, harassing the coasts of Norfolk and Suffolk counties.

In this way, Henry VII's reconnaissance ship could not safely go north. But even if Henry VII wanted to hunt down the pirates, he would have chosen to pursue them along the coasts of Suffolk and Norfolk in southeastern England rather than north.

In this way, before chasing this group of pirates, Henry VII would definitely not choose to send another reconnaissance ship north. Marlin would let the pirates play hide-and-seek with the English fleet in the southeast of England in the clippers, taking them around in circles, but not north...... In this way, the attention of the English navy could be drawn to the southeastern coast, and there was no time to look north......

At this point, Marin's fleet could have circled the North Sea and reached Newcastle from the north. In this way, it will be very difficult for Henry VII to detect Marin's small movements...... In this way, Marin can safely transport troops in batches and complete the original plan......
