If you want others to believe in you, you must first give them a little sweetness. It's like those casinos that give people a set, and they always have to let the other party win for a while. In the end, it will be set up, so that the other party will lose back with interest and bankruptcy......

Therefore, if you want to convince the merchant shipowners of the Five Ports Alliance of England to believe in you, you must first let them eat something......

To this end, Marin decided to immediately have Kohler arrange personnel to set up offices in the five commercial docks of the Five Ports Alliance in the name of the Dutch and Italians. Then, place a few orders and let them do it, and build a good reputation for trustworthiness. Wait until the war starts, and then place a big order to trick them out. Moreover, only the deposit was given and not the follow-up, and the pot was thrown to the French to carry on their backs.

It just so happened that it was still December 1505, a few months before the end of spring ploughing in April. In the past few months, we have set up offices in the ports of the Five Ports Alliance, and placed several orders to establish the image of trustworthiness. When the big order is placed at the end, no one will believe it and take the bait.

According to the rules, the order must be placed and the deposit must be paid by the chamber of commerce office, and the balance payment will be settled at the office after the ship returns. Marin took advantage of this, and after paying the deposit, he estimated that the other party's ship should return, so he disappeared, leaving traces of the French, and letting those shipowners hate the French......

In fact, even if the full amount was given, it was nothing, but Marin was worried about the annexation of Britain by France. Therefore, it is estimated that the merchant shipowners will hate France. In this way, when the French wanted to invade England, these merchant ships would burst out with two hundred percent combat strength to intimidate the French. After all, the French "cheated their hard-earned money"......

Marin estimated that after he and Edward defeated Henry VII and captured London, if the French heard the news, they would definitely not be willing to be lonely and wanted to get a piece of the pie. So, the French will definitely find a way to send troops to England. Not to mention the seizure of England, but the idea of tearing a piece of flesh on England, there must be. After all, Edward had a lot of support from the French, and the other side wanted benefits, and that was inevitable.

But if the French had put their hand into England, it would have been complicated. There is a way that it is easier to please God than to send God, and the French may not leave, and even move the idea of annexing England. When Louis XII found out that he could not give birth to a son, he inevitably wanted to violently annex England.

Therefore, the best thing to do is to prevent the French from crossing the English Channel. And the main force blocking the French fleet is naturally the Five Ports Alliance.

After Marin's planting, the merchant ship owners of the Five Ports Alliance must have hated the French very much, and would never let the French successfully land in England. With them coming forward to fight hard, let alone crossing the English Channel, maybe the little possessions of the navy will be wiped out by the Five Ports Alliance...... And that's exactly what Marin wants to see......

To this end, Marin intends to fool the French. For example, the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain will be carried out without the French. Once he had eliminated any British ships on the Irish Sea and brought Edward's army to England, Marlin would instigate Edward to invite the French to besiege London.

Of course, it is necessary to calculate the time to ensure that the merchant ships of the Five Ports Alliance can only send troops after returning home. Otherwise, it is self-defeating.

To enhance his persuasiveness, Marin would also pull the Scots into the water. For example, when Edward's army arrived in the north of England, he could invite the Scots to join him. When sending a letter to invite the French, the Scots can also help to testify. After all, Edward's army was able to cross the Irish Sea, which must have proved that the British ships in the Irish Sea were cleared.

Without knowing that the ships of the Five Ports Alliance were deceived out, the French would definitely have thought that the Five Ports Alliance had annihilated the main force. The French would then take what little money they had in the navy and prepare to cross the sea to take part in the siege of London. Even, I plan to stay in London in the future...... After all, Louis XII must have had a keen interest in annexing the vast city of England. Otherwise, he wouldn't be busy making villains with the queen every day. It is said that this lord also died in the end of making a villain - he longed for a male heir too much......

Thinking of this, Marin not only thought proudly - hey, I am still strong, I gave birth to a son in the first child, and there is also an illegitimate son Robert......

It just so happened that little Caesar was wandering wild in the courtyard of the palace at this time, so Marin summoned little Caesar with a smile, touched his head, and said happily:

"Well, it's better for my son!"

Hearing his father praise himself, little Caesar Kaisen was so embarrassed that he begged for a hug. It's a pity that little Caesar was rolling on the ground just now, and he was covered in mud, which made Marin very unwelcome and even disgusted.

So, Marin instantly turned his face, kicked Little Caesar's little PP with his foot, and said with a straight face:

"Get out, you're covered in mud and want me to hug you! Go, get your mom to give you a bath! ”

Then, little Caesar walked away with a face full of grievances......

After the little guy was gone, Marin continued to think about how to the Frenchman......

Although the French have a long coastline, they do not have many merchant ships, mainly concentrated in Marseille in the south and Normandy in the north, and have a small number of commercial ports. Therefore, there are not many merchant ships in France.

And France, like Britain, relied on the conscription of civilian merchant ships. Unlike later, a specialized fleet was formed. At present, the navies of European countries are basically hiding troops from the people. When it comes to wartime, those merchant ships will be conscripted to fight in battle.

After all, building a ship and feeding those skilled sailors is a huge expense. And those merchant ships can be maintained because they can make a profit. If it's a professional battleship, it's net input and consumption.

However, the European countries of this era were very poor, and the annual financial income of a large European country like France was only more than one million gold coins. With such a small amount of money, it is necessary to feed tens of thousands of troops and so many officials, so naturally there is no money left over to feed the navy. Therefore, it can only be recruited from the people.

It was not until the late 17th century that European countries popularized the national taxation system, and the sources of tax revenue were widespread, and all countries had money, so they built up large-scale fleets belonging to the state. At the same time, the scale of wars on land has also expanded, from a small war of tens of thousands of people to a large war of tens of thousands of people and more than 100,000 people. By the time of the Seven Years' War in the 18th century, millions of people had been killed. And now, the whole of Europe has no more than a million troops......

At the moment, the French navy is just a little bit of a possessions. When they gather all the merchant ships, the merchant ships that were deceived by the Five Ports Alliance will definitely come back.

It just so happened that Marin planted it to the French. If the French sent the few possessions of the navy to attack England at this time, they would surely run into the guns of the angry merchant shipowners of the Five Ports Alliance.

At this time, even if Henry VII did not recruit the merchant ship owners, they would have joined forces to destroy all the merchant ships of the French in anger. Perhaps, a lot of French ships will be destroyed. If the French merchant ships were sunk, then the French troops who wanted to land in England with the ships would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

At that time, not only will the French navy be finished, but the army will also suffer a serious blow. It is estimated that it will not be able to slow down for many years......

"Hey......

"Ahhh......h Wowha......"

In Marin's office in the palace of Aurich, Marin's lewd laughter was heard. At this time, Louis XII, who was far away in Paris, suddenly shuddered. Little did he know that he had been ruthlessly calculated by some obscene traverser......
