Sivag's instincts were correct, and on the same night that he and the Knight François exchanged training methods for recruits, Edward and Marin discussed how to get rid of the Knight François:

"Grand Duke Marin, I didn't know before that you had raised another army of recruits, and I was afraid that the seven thousand French troops would rebel, so in order to stabilize the French army, I casually promised a count to the knights of François. But I'm scared...... It's not that I don't keep my promises, it's that he's French. If the French had become a county in England, they would have colluded with Louis XII to invade England again......"

Marin was silent for a while, then asked rhetorically:

"So, what does Your Majesty mean?"

"I know you have a lot of ideas, so I want to ask you, is there a way to reverse it? After all, it was too dangerous for a French officer to be an earl of land in England......" In fact, Edward was tempted to ask Marin how to kill François. However, for fear of scaring Marin, he used a more euphemistic expression.

Marin looked down and thought for a while, then replied:

"Or will Your Majesty send him to the island of Ireland? You can depose the former Earl of Kildare and give it to François. ”

"This ...... I'm worried...... François will collude with the French and annex the island of Ireland...... "To put it bluntly, Edward wants to completely repay the debt......

"It's really not a good thing......" Marin snorted coldly in his heart. However, speaking of which, he Marin is not a good thing......

In fact, as the current number one conspirator in Europe, Marin knew very well that Edward had murderous intent against the Knight François. As the one who wanted to divide Northumberland and the Isle of Wight from Edward in the future, Marin also felt a little sad about it.

However, Marin was not worried that Edward would murder him. Because, for now, Edward can't play without him at all. If he was killed, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Beihai could chop Edward into meat sauce at any time.

The only thing to worry about is Edward's black-bellied sister. The other party got a very powerful chronic poison, and what Marin was most afraid of was that kind of chronic poison and died. Fortunately, Marlin had long planned to strike first and kill Lord Margaret. Therefore, he is not worried about his safety, at least for now.

Moreover, after helping Edward ascend to the throne, Marin does not plan to stay in England for a long time, nor does he give Edward a chance to attack.

However, at present, the French are indeed the common enemy of both sides. So, Marin finally decided to help Edward come up with an idea:

"So, Your Majesty, can this François knight swim?"

Edward thought for a moment and said:

"No, those 7,000 French soldiers and high-ranking officers are all knights. The French knights, on the other hand, are basically landlubbers, and few of them can swim. Only the French soldiers at the bottom, those who were born as fishermen, were good at swimming...... What, there's a way? ”

"Hmm...... I thought of a way we could make a special boat......" and then Marin began to describe it in detail......

The method is very simple, it was learned by Marin from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Huang Yaoshi made a gorgeous flower boat, which was used to bury himself in the sea, so that he could go underground to accompany his dead wife. The ship looks fine on the outside, but it is actually very unstable, and when it encounters wind and waves, it will quickly fall apart.

This is because the ship was glued together, not nailed. Glue the wood together, of course, in a stationary state, of course, it is no problem, but once it encounters wind and waves, it will soon be a cup......

Edward also said that the French knights were all landlubbers, so the French knights of the landlubbers were specially gathered on wooden boats glued together, so that the children of fishermen who could swim would not be mixed in, and they would reach the middle of the English Channel...... With the level of wind and waves in the English Channel, it is sure to break the ship apart. When the time comes, a boatload of French officers will have to feed the fish......

"What if a French soldier who can swim in a nearby boat comes to the rescue?"

"It's simple, let our sailors drive the boats. In the middle of the English Channel, let the sailors who sail the ship deliberately distance that ship from the other ships. By the time the other ships realized that something was wrong and rushed over, the French knights had almost sunk...... As for our sailors, they are all swimmers and will definitely hold out until the rescue ship arrives......"

"This ploy...... Good poison...... Pretty good, though......"

Edward suddenly found out that this Marlin was really poisonous...... He only wanted to kill the Knight François alone, and Marin directly planned to kill all the 7,000 French officers...... But it's so enjoyable......

Marin sneered in his heart - a shipload of officers drowned, and then Britain and France were even more incompatible. And himself, you can laugh at the Anglo-French tearing ......

After the death of Louis XII, the limelight passed, and Marin picked up Edward and could take over England......

Louis XII died probably in 1515, almost ten years later. In the past ten years, Marin has definitely been able to grow and develop. When the time comes, even France, Marin will have the capital to confront it. At that time, when he took over England, he was not afraid of French pressure. As for Edward, Marin really didn't care. His balls were all kicked out, and even if he was given twenty years, he would not give birth to another child. As long as little Princess Margaret is fine, her sons will rule England together......

……

However, Edward did not have a shipyard in his hands now, so naturally he could not make a ship that was purely glued together. Therefore, this task has to fall into the hands of Marin......

To this end, Marin sent men to Newcastle and asked them to send a ship back to the port of Emden and inform the shipyard to get one of these ships out. Of course, the structural timber is processed and the glue and paint are ready. After Edward took London, he sent the materials to England to be assembled and glued together temporarily. Otherwise, even if the gluing is done in Emden, it will be useless. As soon as you enter the sea, you still have to fall apart. It can only be used if it is glued when it is sent to the UK port. Moreover, the chance of falling apart is even greater if it is temporarily bonded. If the bond is bonded for a long time, it may be very strong...... However, during this time, Emden Shipyard could test for itself how long it would take for such a ship to fall apart. It is better to hold on to the middle of the sea and then fall apart, otherwise, it will fall too early, and those French knights will fall into the sea before they have left the coast of England, and they will be easily rescued......

After discussing the matter of pit the French officers with glued boats, Marin began to arrange for his troops to adapt to the training at night. Edward asked curiously:

"Why are you training your men at night?"

Marin replied calmly:

"Because I'm going to attack Henry at night. Percy's army......"

"What?" Edward was taken aback......

"Your army is so strong? Why attack the enemy at night? There's no need, right? ”

In Edward's opinion, Marlin's army was better than Henry's. Percy's 20,000 British troops were to be strong. You can win just head-on, let alone attack from behind? But Marin is too shameless, he has won steadily, and he is particularly shameless in his night attack......

Marin knew that Edward must have despised him a little, but he said indifferently:

"Your Majesty, Henry. Percy had six or seven thousand elite longbowmen in his hands. If they were to attack them during the day, and their longbowmen would rain down a few rounds of arrows, there would certainly be many casualties among my men. And if they take advantage of the opponent's sleep to attack at night, then it will be difficult for their longbowmen to form a formation and fire a rain of arrows. In this way, my people will also be able to reduce a lot of casualties......"

Edward nodded, but still a little embarrassed:

"It's just that this will damage the reputation of ......"

"Reputation? I don't care, I just want to win! Marin replied categorically. He is a believer in the "white cat and black cat theory", reputation or something, count as a P......

Moreover, he himself made his fortune by attacking Charles VIII's French army at night, and his reputation has long been stinky, so why not stink a little more?
