Chapter 1308: I, Ma Hansan, am back again!
The next day, Admiral Kidd arranged for five armed merchant ships of the "250" class to leave Emden Harbor with great fanfare and go to sea to "find Marin".
And Marin, in fact, also went to sea with the ship. Of course, he did not reveal his identity, but wrapped in a black robe, quietly boarded the ship under the cover of his men. Quietly aboard the ship with him, there was Karn, the super guard.
And his guards who remained in Williamshaven had already received the news that they had boarded a ship from Williamshaven and headed for Newcastle Harbor.
When Marin's fleet arrives at Newcastle Harbour, it will join the escorts and Columbus Jr.'s fleet. Then, he returned to Emden again, pretending to be a "difficult" return.
In order to play realistically, as soon as he arrived in Newcastle, Marin ordered:
"Cut off the ship's mast for me, and pick it up again!"
Little Columbus looked confused - what are you doing with a good ship, what are you doing with cutting the mast?
Marin patiently explained - didn't we say that we had a storm? In the event of a storm, the mast can easily break. Otherwise, how to "drift with the wind"?
Sailboats, in the face of storms. Either the mast breaks and the ship drifts with the wind. If the mast is constantly resisting the storm, the ship may be blown over, and everyone will have to finish the game......
And Marin plays the person who "returns with difficulty after encountering a storm", rather than the undead, so naturally he can only choose the script of "the mast is broken......
As for where to drift, Marin's script has also been chosen - since Bodgor is drifting to the island of Mauritius, let's drift to Reunion Island......
Both islands are in the southern Indian Ocean in the southeast of Africa, which is not very far away, and logically makes sense. If anyone doubts...... Lao Tzu drew a map for you, don't believe you can find it yourself!
What Ma Lin did this time was a major matter of annexing 8 vassal states, so naturally he couldn't be sloppy and couldn't leave a handle for people. Even if you lie, you have to have a basis. Otherwise, if someone really goes to verify it afterwards, it will not be good if the stuffing is exposed. If it is really exposed, the Imperial Princes' Court can disown the result......
……
After cutting the mast and repairing it, Marin behaved again, causing people to destroy the side of the ship and make a lot of holes. Then, they were asked to fill the holes with wood. In order to make it decent, when filling the holes, I deliberately made it very uncompromising, and it looked very sloppy. In this way, it would also be better proof that the ship was indeed hit by a major storm......
Then, little Columbus watched Marin turn the originally good ship into a beggar's ship...... That's called a broken one......
Moreover, for the remaining 7 ships, Marin did not let all of them go back, and only allowed 4 to go back. As for the remaining 3 ships, Marin directly let them sail to the Americas. Then, directly prepare to declare to the outside world - those three ships were "shipwrecked......
……
While Marin was making various preparations in Newcastle Port, the camp of the allied army of the eight princes outside Oldenburg, and the eight princes also gathered together to discuss things......
"Well, have you heard? It is said that the 10 ships that the Marin guy had originally gone to the East have returned again. You say, will that Marlin guy come back? Antonios, Count of Ravensburg and Count of Schaumburg, said with some uneasiness.
Hearing this, the faces of the princes of the four weak vassal states of Bentheim-Tecklenburg, Simon V, Count of Lipper, Magnus I, Duke of Saxony-Lauenburg, and John I, Count of Rietberg, all changed.
Living by the side of the Beihai Kingdom is a huge pressure on these four small vassal states. They had feared that Marin would suddenly become interested in their territory and annex their land.
Ritterbergberg was originally better, and Bishop Conrad had reached a relatively friendly agreement with Marin, and the relationship between the two families was not bad.
But with the death of Bishop Conrad, John I knew that there was no longer a buffer between the Rietbergberg Kingdom and the North Sea State. Once the North Sea State recovered the South Münster region, the Ritberg kingdom, which was next to the South Münster region, was exposed to the North Sea State's troops......
As for the other three small vassal states, they are also trembling. After all, Marin's previous reputation was so great that he was simply invincible......
Even, even the two powerful Duke Henry on the throne had their faces changed......
Only Charlie, Earl of Geldon, smiled and said:
"Afraid of what? How can a storm at sea be easily avoided by man? Also, Marin didn't come back with the ship this time, and in fact, the hope of coming back is extremely slim. ”
After a pause, Charlie continued:
"As for the North Sea Nation sending a fleet to search for desert islands in the southern Indian Ocean this time, then there is no need to worry! I've heard that it takes nearly a year for a ship to travel from the North Sea country to India each way. And to the south of the Indian Ocean, at least half a year, right? ”
"They only sent a fleet to search now, and even if they did, they would find Marin, and it would take more than a year to come and go. And in more than a year, we have long since completely wiped out the Beihai State. Even if that guy Marin really comes back, he won't be able to do anything! ”
"But that guy can't be underestimated. You know, he was just a wandering knight at the beginning, and he was able to mix to this point, and his ability was amazing. Even if we rob the Beihai Kingdom, I don't guarantee that he will be able to pull up a team to fight against us and recapture the Beihai Kingdom! Count Antonios worried.
Charlie, Earl of Geldon, is going mad - what does this mean? Do you want to give up when you say frustrating words at this critical juncture? Moreover, it is very demoralizing......
However, he didn't quarrel with the other party directly, but after thinking about it, he said:
"After we take Aurich, we can control Lady Angela and Little Caesar. In this way, even if Marin can come back alive, his wife and children are in our hands, and he will not dare to act rashly! ”
"That's a good idea! Lady Angela was his only wife, and little Caesar was his only son. As long as Lady Angela is in our possession, he will not be able to marry and have children again (note: the great European nobles cannot easily divorce and remarry, unless the Pope approves it). And little Caesar is his only legitimate heir, and in our hands he must be a rat and a mouse. And without his wife and children, even if he struggles again, it is meaningless! It works! Henry, Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, was pleasantly surprised.
They were right, if Angela and Caesar really fell into their hands, Marin really wouldn't dare to act rashly. But the question is – is this possible?
However, as soon as he said this, the self-confidence of the eight princes returned, and they were no longer panicked.
"Now, then, we have to make up our minds to take Oldenburg as soon as possible. After all, Aurich, which is even more difficult to conquer than Oldenburg, is waiting for us! If you can't capture Aurich, the plan to control Lady Angela and Little Caesar is just empty words! Henry, Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, concluded.
"Okay, step up your attack!" Several other princes also unanimously expressed their position!
……
And they didn't know that when they were in a meeting, Marin had already finished tossing the ship, and then, with his people, boarded the four broken ships, and began to return to Emden......
On the vast North Sea, Marin stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the shadow of the southern German coastline, and suddenly full of pride. So, standing on the bow of the boat, he exclaimed excitedly:
"I'm Ma Hansan, I'm back again! 8 idiots, are you ready? ”
