Chapter 715: Anne Wants to Be Queen?

Marin and Edward did not expect it, and the ship reached the middle of the English Channel half a day later, and finally the glued parts fell apart due to the lapping of the wind and waves. Then the whole ship began to sink......

For a moment, desperate cries were heard from the ship. A few servants who could swim, carrying the little masters on their backs, swam hard in the direction of land. However, now the ship is dozens of kilometers on land, and a few servants who can swim are not very good at swimming, not to mention carrying children on their backs...... Eventually, under the watchful eye of the scouts on the fishing boats sent out by Marin, a boatload of people was swallowed up by the vast sea. During this time, no other ship appeared to rescue them......

"Your Majesty, it's done!" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Marin hurriedly reported to Edward.

Edward let out a long sigh of relief - there were no contenders for the throne now......

Upon closer inspection, I learned that when the ship sank, there were no other sightings nearby. In this way, it can be regarded as a matter of unnoticed.

As for whether Marin, who is the executor, will it be revealed? Edward wasn't worried. After all, Marin was also an accomplice in the killing of members of the English royal family, and was the main executor. As long as you don't have a brain, you will never talk about it. Otherwise, you will definitely become a street rat.

From then on, Edward would pretend not to know the whereabouts of several nephews and nieces. After all, Edward was the one who kindly sent those nephews and nieces on board the ship in the presence of many people. It's just a pity that those gold, silver and jewels have also sunk into the sea. But this is also a good thing, Edward openly let a large number of jewels be carried on the ship, which many people have seen. If one day everyone found out that the children were dead, Edward could have excused himself - perhaps someone had killed them out of the sight of wealth......

You must know that the boat was not specially arranged by Edward, but was chosen by a few children in public (in fact, it was to use the psychology of children to like new and beautiful things to induce them to choose the glued boat, and specially used a few broken boats to set off). Many people can witness this, so it is difficult to say that Edward deliberately gave the ship a bad ship. Moreover, there were no people arranged by Edward on the ship, all of them were servants of a few children's families. So, no matter where you look at it, Edward has plenty of reasons to pluck himself out......

After solving these few henchmen's problems, Marin's task was finally completed. Marin said goodbye to Edward, saying that it was time for him to go back. Marin had been in England with his army for several months, and if he didn't return, his two sons might have forgotten about him...... In addition, his sister Anne seems to be getting married......

Moreover, there was important information coming from Poland - the death of Alexander I, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, on August 19. And the successor to the throne of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania was none other than Marin's quasi-brother-in-law, Prince Sigmunt.

In other words, now that Anne marries the past, she will be the queen directly. Upon hearing the news, Hoffman Sr. sent a letter urging Marin to return home as soon as possible, and when Anne got married in October, he sent a large number of troops to escort Anne to Krakow, the capital of Poland, where the newly enthroned Zygmunt I planned to hold a wedding......

Unlike Alexander I, who preferred to stay in Vilnius, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Zygmunt I preferred to stay in Poland. Because, in Poland, people call him His Majesty. And in Lithuania, everyone calls him Grand Duke......

Marin didn't feel much about Anne becoming Queen of Poland, but the old Hoffmanns were thrilled - that was the queen, the mother of a nation!

Therefore, both old Hoffman and Lady Mary asked Marin to return home quickly. In addition, at least a few thousand elite troops were to be sent to escort Anne to Poland.

The reason for this was that the old Hoffmanns feared that the Poles would look down on Anne's origins. After all, Anne's Lao Tzu used to be just an ordinary knight.

Therefore, the elder Hoffman and Lady Mary both hoped that Marin would send thousands of good-looking elite troops to escort Anne all the way to Krakow, so as to give Anne a strong reputation and suppress those Poles......

Even, in the eyes of old Hoffman and Lady Mary, the autumn harvest that was about to begin was not so important......

Marin couldn't help but laugh when he read the letter, but he understood the thoughts of old Hoffman and Lady Mary. After all, they were only native ancient European natives who held kingship in high esteem. When they learned that their daughter might become queen, the old couple almost went crazy with joy, and almost revealed all the agricultural secrets to Zygmunt I. So, it's so normal to let yourself help cheer this time.

It just so happened that Marin also intended to strengthen relations with Zygmunt I. After all, a Kingdom of Poland and a Grand Duchy of Lithuania are definitely strong political allies.

However, both the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were countries with strong aristocratic strength, and the king could not act arbitrarily. Therefore, Zygmunt I actually needed strong allies to cheer him down.

So, Marin planned to directly take 10,000 troops to escort Anne to Krakow, Poland, to scare and scare those Polish nobles. Not only for Anne, but also for Zygmunt I. Only if Zygmunt I had a stronger voice would it make sense to make friends with Poland and Lithuania. If it's a puppet, it's not interesting.

Of course, Zygmunt I was not a philistine. History has proven that its capabilities are good, after all, it was this person who originally bought the Crimean Khanate. Since the Crimean Khanate and the Grand Duchy of Moscow turned around, the situation in Poland and Lithuania has immediately improved a lot, from being pressed and beaten by Maozi to having a slight upper hand. If it weren't for the fact that there were more Maozi people, the royal power was more concentrated, and there were more resources that could be mobilized, it might be very powerful......

But in any case, Zygmunt I is capable, but he has only been on the throne for a month, and he has not yet been able to control the overall situation. At this time, Marin helped him with the wedding, which was definitely a great help to him.

Therefore, before returning home, Marin wrote to Zygmunt I, asking him if he needed to bring 10,000 horses himself to cheer him on......

As a result, the other party replied quickly. By the time Marlin had just landed at Emden with his army, Prince Zygmunt's reply had already arrived through Marin's newly built post system.

Prince Zygmunt welcomed Marin to the wedding with 10,000 troops, and even offered to provide most of the food and grass for the army. Moreover, because Poland is a knightly country, and there are many knights and nobles in the territory, Prince Sigismunt wants Marindo to bring some plate knights over and show off to those Polish nobles......

In fact, both Marin and Zygmunt I knew very well - since the appearance of Marin's gun array, the role of knights in war has been greatly reduced. However, the old-fashioned and powerful aristocracy of the Kingdom of Poland ate this way. Show them the knightly armament to better bless them.

But here's the problem - the number of knights under Marin is really not much......

Most of Marin's men were mountain people recruited from the mountains of southern Germany. The wandering knights from the knight family, there are only more than 1,000 people under Marin, and they are specially recruited in the Teutonic country, and most of them are organized into lancers.

And what country is Poland? A great country of lancers. The war with Sweden directly involved 20,000 knights...... More than a thousand lancers went to demonstrate? Isn't Nima the hatchet of Banmen?

However, Marin had a nimble mind and quickly came up with a solution—he remembered that he seemed to have two thousand black-shirted knights. Although these goods are light cavalry, they are also cavalry......

It just so happened that another batch of zinc ingots was shipped back from the Americas, and Marin decided to cut out a batch of light horse armor and "plate armor" with galvanized white iron sheets. In this way, the two thousand black-shirted knights can barely wear the silver shining "plate armor......

Such a group of "knights" wearing shiny white tin "plate armor" may be able to bluff people when they go to Poland......
