After this series of plays, Marin was also relieved:

"Now, the French should believe it, right?"

Marin expected that Louis XII believed in his evil. After all, Kohler's restlessness, as well as anger, and even threats came out...... This set of acting skills can completely take the little golden man. In this regard, can Louis XII, who has never seen a movie, not believe it?

Back then, the people in my mainland were also eager for the shoddy small-budget movies in Xiangjiang. Why? I've never seen the world. So, was bluffed. After 30 years, in the 21st century, the people of the mainland saw that Xiangjiang was still the same old thing, and they immediately stopped listening to them...... At the end of the day, you can't overcome the problem of knowledge......

In this era, it is extremely difficult to transmit information. Not to mention ordinary people, even the monarch of a big country like Louis XII has limited knowledge. Therefore, it is not uncommon to be fooled......

And, the most terrible thing is that Marinsa's panic is not all fake. For example, the French brought volcanic ash back to their country and scattered it in the ground, which can indeed fertilize the ground. This kind of lie that is seven points true and three points false is a high-level lie in later generations, not to mention people who have no knowledge in this era, even people in the 21st century are easy to be fooled.

As if fearing that the North Sea Kingdom would turn to Spain over the matter, Louis XII decided to take the initiative. So, he sent John. As an emissary, Lafite "visited" the North Sea countries on behalf of France. His task was to "pacify" Marin, lest he send troops to help Spain.

At the same time, Louis XII also sent another subordinate, Charles, the former Duke of Guedes, to send him to the German region to contact some powerful anti-Marin princes, and recently joined forces to carry out a wave of actions to scare Marin so that he would not dare to easily send troops to leave the Beihai country......

But what Louis XII didn't know was that one of the representatives he sent out was clearly Marin's men. The Earl of Charles sent to Germany to contact the princes to scare Marin's plan, John . Raffi reported directly to Marin......

Of course, even if Marin didn't know about it, he wouldn't care. Because, he didn't plan to send troops to help Spain.

……

As for Haidel, the trip to Denmark went well. Hans was surprised that Marin wanted to buy that remote and desolate island in Iceland, and hesitated for several days.

Historically, Hans was supposed to have died in early spring. But I don't know what's going on, because of Marin's intrusion, it's almost summer now, and Hans is still alive.

Hans then asked Haider about Marin's reason for buying the island, and Heider naturally fooled around according to the script, saying that Prince Caesar liked short Icelandic horses very much, and was going to equip an Icelandic pony with a dozen of his followers to practice equestrianism from an early age. After all, children are not suitable for riding tall horses.

Even, Heider fooled that Marlin, who doted on his son, planned to establish a dwarf pony breeding base in Iceland, specializing in selecting dwarf breeds to breed small breeds of horses as pets for noble children......

This lie is made up in a similar way, and there is no flaw. Because, Marin remembers that the ponies in later generations were indeed very popular with children. For example, what is the Farabella horse, which is especially popular with children in later generations. A cute baby rides an equally cute pony and can sprout a bloody face......

Heider described to Hans what Marin had described from memory, and Hans believed it......

Why did Hans believe it? Because his son had a pony when he was a child. The child and the pony stand together, and it's really cute. It's a pity that the pony that his son raised when he was a child was a tall breed, and it didn't take long for him to grow taller, and he threw his son away, and he was no longer cute. After all, horses grow much faster than people...... It would be tempting to have a kind of pony that could grow up with a child......

Then, dispelling his doubts, Hans agreed to sell Iceland. But the price, the price is increased by 8000 gold coins......

After some bargaining, in the end, the two sides traded for 25,000 gold coins......

At this point, John. Lafite also arrived in the North Sea Kingdom under the guise of a "French envoy". Hearing this, John. After reporting to Marin, Lafite sent the news to Italy in carrier pigeons, where Louis XII made aware of it.

"Iceland? I've heard, by the way, do you know if there are volcanoes in Iceland? Louis XII asked his courtiers.

A clerk named Elta replied:

"I have heard that, according to a traveler, there is indeed a volcano on that island to the northwest. Moreover, every tens or hundreds of years, there will be a big eruption. ”

"That's lucky...... Louis XII was a little upset. For Marin, he is not used to it, because he dares to compete with himself for England. He was of course unhappy that he had not been able to cut off his financial route.

Then Louis XII asked:

"Is it possible for us to snatch this Iceland down?" When it comes to volcanic ash soils, he naturally wants to have as much as possible.

The subordinate officials shook their heads - just kidding, an England directly and steadily suppressed the French maritime power, what did France do to occupy Iceland? Swim past? No kidding......

Elta thought for a moment and said:

"Unless England can be taken by us......"

"England...... Unified ...... Alas, I still lack a son......" Louis XII was suddenly infinitely melancholy. He decided that as soon as the decisive battle with the Spaniards was over, he would return to Paris and fiddle with the queen so fiercely that he would have a prince and annex England. As long as England, which has a strong navy, is annexed, it will not be a problem to take Iceland......

It's just that poor Louis XII didn't know that although he wasn't kicked or sterilized, his wife was drugged and sterilized......

If it was in ancient East Asia, the infertility of the eldest wife was not a problem, and it was a big deal to find a little wife to have an heir. Like the Ming Empire, several queens failed to give birth to a son-in-law. Then, you can only find a concubine to be the emperor. Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty was like this, so Emperor Hongzhi, who was born to a slave girl of Yaomin who was captured, inherited the throne. The same is true of Emperor Wanli, Wanli's mother Li Caifeng was originally just a maid in King Yu's mansion, and her father was just a mason, because she was born good-looking, and then she was given something by King Yu and gave birth to Wanli......

However, Europe is not allowed to find a little wife. Even if you secretly find a little wife and give birth to a son, it doesn't count, you don't have the right to inherit......

……

Just when Louis XII lamented the lack of a son, the Duke of Milan, Ludovico, who had been hiding in the Müsturt valley on the border with the Graubünden region of Switzerland, in northern Italy. Sforza, swaggering back to Milan with 8000 elites.

He was persuaded by the Spanish envoy to return to Milan with his troops, and he had planned to wait until the decisive battle between France and Spain was decided before deciding whether to leave the valley. However, Juan III's emissaries told him that Spain was not sure because of the strength of the French. If Spain were defeated, he would never have a chance to retake the city of Milan.

So, Spain needed him to stab the French. It is better to retake the city of Milan and force the French to divide their forces to the north to rescue. In this way, the chances of victory for the main Spanish army were greater......

At this time, there were only four or five thousand defenders in the city of Milan, and they were Italian mercenaries hired by the French temporarily, plus some French soldiers and civilians. The size of the garrison shows that the French did not intend to defend this place properly. After all, the most important thing for Louis XII now was to seize Naples, obtain a large source of volcanic ash soil, increase the grain production of the cultivated land of the royal family under his name, and then strengthen the French army and dominate Europe......

Ludovico. Although Sforza withdrew his troops in a bit of a hurry this time, he was not stupid, and he had planted nails in the city before. No, 8,000 soldiers and horses came to the outside of Milan and blew the horn as a code, someone opened the west gate of Milan for him......

Subsequently, Ludovico. Sforza successfully entered the city with the elite of 8,000 Italian mercenaries and defeated the enemy forces with low combat strength left behind......

A letter for help was then sent to the city of Naples in the south via a carrier pigeon system......

"Report! The city of Milan fell and fell back into the hands of Ludovico. In the hands of that tyrant in Sforza! The French officer in charge of reporting the military situation reported solemnly.

Louis XII thought for a moment, then sighed and said:

"If you fall, you will fall, it doesn't matter. When we've defeated the Spanish army, it's not too late to go back and clean up that clown......"

Then, Louis XII ignored this information and continued to wait for the arrival of the main force of the Spanish army with the main force......
