Marin was almost certain that once Edward succeeded in becoming King of England, Margaret, as his own sister, would definitely become a powerful man like Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping, like Lord Margaret, was resourceful, and in Li Tang's restoration and the killing of Empress Wei, Princess Taiping also contributed a lot. Similarly, Lord Margaret played a major role in Edward's struggle for the throne.

It is conceivable that after Edward became king, he would definitely rely on Margaret's sister, the lord of Margaret, rather than Marin, an outsider. At that time, Lord Margaret will inevitably become a powerful man who invades the government and the opposition like Princess Taiping after Li Dan's reinstatement.

When the time comes, it is very likely that Lord Margaret will intervene in the marriage of Edward's daughter, Princess Margaret. Perhaps, he will let his son marry Princess Margaret. Because, then, the throne will belong to her son.

Even if she doesn't do this, if something happens to her younger brother Edward, at that time, the regent will definitely be the aunt of Princess Margaret, the princess who has the status and ability. Marin wants to help his daughter-in-law regent, but I'm afraid he can't do it......

Therefore, from the point of view of Marin's control of England, a female careerist with status and ability like the Lord of Margaret County must be eliminated. Otherwise, Marin would not have tried to take over the regency of England. Even Caesar and Princess Margaret's marriage may not be maintained.

Moreover, Marlin is also worried that Lord Margaret will plot to murder Princess Margaret. Why? Because Edward now only has Margaret's own sister alive. Once Edward dies and Princess Margaret has an accident, then, according to the law of inheritance, it must be Henry, the eldest son of Lord Margaret. Bol inherited the throne.

If Edward died, Lord Margaret did not die, and little Caesar and little Princess Margaret were engaged, then, out of self-interest, for the sake of his son, Lord Margaret would most likely murder the little niece.

Therefore, no matter what aspect is considered, it seems that Marlin has the need to get rid of Lord Margaret. And it seems that the best thing to do is to kill people with a knife, and then kill the Lord Margaret with the hand of Henry VII......

Of course, for now, this woman still has value to use. Therefore, Marin decided to send someone to Henry VII to report to the Lord Margaret at a later stage. To this end, Marin sent his men and began to ask the Lord of Margaret for a map of the English army. Lord Margaret has been operating in England for many years, and this bit of information can still be found. In addition to his ability and financial resources to find out information, her husband Richard . Pol, who was himself a general under Henry VII, was not difficult to obtain this kind of information.

Moreover, Marlin also hoped that the Lord Margaret would be able to find a group of warriors who could help open the gates of London when his army approached the city, including London......

Of course, Marin wouldn't just count on her. When asking the Lord Margaret to prepare manpower, Marin will also let the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce under his command also prepare manpower, ready to open the city wall with the inside and outside.

Marin's plan was to send his subordinates of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to sell the Lord of Margaret to Henry VII before the siege. Henry VII, in a fit of rage, would surely kill Lord Margaret. Moreover, it is very likely that the news that the Lord of Margaret County is preparing people to help open the city gate is also dug up. When the time comes, Henry VII captures the "inner ghost", and naturally he would not have thought that there is another group of people who also plan to open the city gates. Under the negligence of precautions, the manpower of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce is easy to get ......

In order to ensure success, Marin had ordered the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to buy a few courtyards near the London City Gate and dig a basement to hide the ambush soldiers and weapons and armor. When the army besieged the city, the men hidden in the basement would change into plate armor and swords and shields, storm the inside of the city gate, and then open the city gate in the middle of the night......

……

It was a plan on land, and on the sea, Marin's plan worked out. Just when Marlin and Margaret County were communicating and planning to calculate the grain and grass of the British army's rear camp, in the five major ports of England (Hastings, New Romney, Hayes, Dover, and Sandwich (also called Sandwich City)), the spies sent by Marin had successfully set up the so-called "Chamber of Commerce Office" and placed some large orders, so that the big merchant ships of the Five Ports Alliance (especially the big merchant ships that often served as war ships) helped transport some goods and paid a lot of money......

As a result, the "Chamber of Commerce Branch" set up by Marin at the wharf of the Five Ports Alliance has been established successfully and has won the trust of most ship owners.

Sometimes, trust is as simple as that. As long as you happily complete a business cooperation, the other party's trust in you will be established. Of course, in later generations, this is also the usual trick of scammers - to use one or two perfect cooperation to deceive your trust. The last time, the next big order will trick you into losing all the inner library (harmony......

It's just that in this era, this kind of clever deception has not yet appeared, and where did the simple English shipowners of the early 16th century think that there would be such bad people? So, they don't know that they have been calculated......

On the basis of the very success of the first cooperation, the so-called "heads of the Italian Chamber of Commerce" or the "Dutch Chamber of Commerce" on the docks of the Five Ports Alliance have already gained the trust of most of the shipowners of the Five Ports Alliance.

This time, these "chamber of commerce branches" placed a large order, asking most of the big merchant ships of the Five Ports Alliance to help those chambers of commerce transport a batch of supplies to Italy or the Baltic Sea region - all of them are relatively far away......

Moreover, the "heads" of these "chamber of commerce branches" are extremely cool. As soon as the owners agreed, the deposit of 30% was directly offered...... Such an atmospheric style has aroused great favor among the shipowners of the Five Ports Alliance......

As a result, with the exception of a few ships that needed to go to the Irish Sea for duty, most of the other large merchant ships that would be called up as warships in wartime received large orders from the "branches of foreign chambers of commerce" that were "creditworthy" - the freight rate was 20% higher than that of ordinary voyages......

It's just that the other party asked - in order to ensure safety, be sure to bring enough sailors to prevent pirates from robbing at sea......

As for why this request was made, it was naturally to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and take away all the sailors who could fight in England......

For those merchant ships, the sailors were not fixed. Because of the development of shipping, the five ports of Hastings, New Romney, Hayes, Dover, and Sandwich (also known as Sandwich City) gathered a large number of merchant ships and sailors.

However, due to cost considerations, those merchant ships do not usually have a large number of sailors. Because, that would be too expensive. Therefore, those ship owners are generally just core figures such as captains, first mates, navigators, etc., as well as a few close cronies who can fight and serve as bodyguards.

Most of the rest of the sailors were recruited improvisedly in the taverns of the harbor before departure. The sailors, like temporary hire-workers, usually drank some inferior beer in the taverns of the port, and bragged about it by the way. The taverns in the port also seem to have become a labor market for sailors......

Whenever a ship was about to depart, the owner would come to the tavern himself or have the captain come to the tavern to recruit sailors to accompany the ship. Of course, among these temporary hired sailors, there are veterans with high prices (that is, those who have good sailing skills and are more able to fight), and there are also cheap newcomers. And those veterans with high prices are often the excellent sailors that the English Navy gives priority to recruiting when they are in war.

Therefore, Marin asked his men to pay a high price, in order to get the owners of the ships to take the experienced sailors away. In this way, when his fleet raided the Irish Sea, it would be less resistant......

It's March, and a trip to Italy or the Baltic Sea takes about a month or two. It just so happens that it will be back in May. At that time, the French fleet crossing the Channel will encounter these returning ships with a large number of experienced and warlike sailors......

Under the trend of money, most of the big merchant ships of the Five Ports Alliance took orders, took many experienced sailors, and went to sea. And the "responsible persons" of the so-called "branches of foreign chambers of commerce" also sent back information to the local headquarters one after another - "Tiger, has left the mountain......
