Chapter 433: Huge Impact

The impact of Princess Catherine's death was enormous. Henry VII panicked, and at the moment, England was in turmoil. If you offend Spain, a maritime power, it is equivalent to building a strong enemy in vain.

Spain was different from France, which was capable of inflicting heavy damage on the British fleet. As long as Spain was ruthless and sent the main fleet to attack the English fleet, the victory rate was very high. Because, the Spanish carrac sailing ship is a very suitable type of ship for naval warfare. Moreover, the Spaniards also began to generally equip their ships with artillery.

The British, on the other hand, have not yet developed an English Galen, and are still using Kirk sailboats of the same style as those of the Hanseatic League, and are still in vogue for backward naval warfare tactics of jumping ships and slashing against each other.

The tactics of chopping each other with Kirk galleons and backward ship-jumping gangs might still have an advantage if they were used against France, which had a more rubbish navy. But against the Spanish warships, which had already used artillery, there was really no chance of victory.

Taking a step back, even if the English fleet could repel the Spanish fleet, it would certainly have suffered heavy losses. When the time comes, the French will strike again, and they may be able to destroy the English fleet.

Without the protection of the fleet, England would not be a match for France, the overlord of land. Perhaps, England is about to stage another "Norman conquest......

Thinking of this, Henry VII broke out in a cold sweat. For this reason, he didn't care about any face, and directly summoned the Spanish envoy in London, and swore an oath, indicating that Princess Catherine's death had nothing to do with England, and was completely a conspiracy of the French.

Then, Henry VII also sent the bronze button engraved in French found at Jason's house to the Spanish envoy as evidence to bring back to Spain.

At the same time, Henry VII wrote a very humble letter in Latin, expressing his apologies to Ferdinand II. However, Henry VII pointed out that as long as he was not crazy, he would definitely not choose to poison Princess Catherine. After all, he was counting on an alliance with the Spaniards.

Immediately after the letter was sent, Henry VII, with a different face, issued a statement in which he strongly condemned the vile and shameless French, condemning them for poisoning the Spanish princess Catherine......

Now, Henry VII didn't care whether the French did it or not. Now, the first thing he had to do was to force the pot on the head of the French, so that he could avoid the wrath of the Spaniards......

……

At the same time, Henry VII also searched the homes of foreigners in London, and if he found anything related to the assassination, such as daggers and poisons, he was arrested and tortured.

Fortunately, the people of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce did not place the killer in the Chamber of Commerce. Although the Chamber of Commerce was thoroughly searched, no items related to the assassination were found.

The French, on the other hand, were the focus of the English court. Moreover, in this day and age, isn't it normal to carry a dagger and a short knife for self-defense?

But now the English court is eager to clear its suspicions, so it treats foreigners very harshly. Anyone who carried a dagger or a dagger suitable for assassination, or who possessed poison, was brought to prison.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in the city of London. Fortunately, the killers of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce did not live in the London branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, but hid in a small courtyard outside the city. Moreover, tools such as daggers and poisons were well hidden, and were not found by the English soldiers in the whole city of Dasuo.

But those French people suffered, and they were doing business in enemy countries to earn a living, and naturally they had to guard against the malice of the people of the enemy countries at all times. Therefore, they are also accustomed to carrying daggers or short knives for self-defense.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, these daggers and short knives became their talismans......

At this time, Henry VII was like crazy, biting whoever he caught, and he didn't care whether you were wronged by the French merchant or not. Anyway, as long as it is French, it is very unlucky. Besides, Britain and France were mortal enemies......

Originally, the duel between the Bossa coalition and the Massa alliance (short for the alliance between Marin and the Hanseatic League) was the most important news of the European aristocracy.

But after the death of Princess Catherine, the news that Princess Catherine of Spain, who had been abused and eventually killed in England, immediately replaced the Great War and made headlines in European aristocratic circles.

In fact, this was deliberately spread by the Beihai Chamber of Commerce. Under Marin's instructions, except for England, other European countries had long been arranged by Marin's men. As soon as Princess Catherine hung up, she began to preach that the British not only imprisoned the Spanish princess Catherine, but after being accused by the Spaniards, they poisoned Catherine in a frenzy and framed the French......

At this time, King Louis XII of France also jumped out and swore that France had never thought about and had never done anything to poison Princess Catherine. He swore in the honor of the king that he would never send anyone to poison Princess Catherine. As for what happened in London, it was Henry VII who deliberately planted the blame for the innocent French......

Seeing that the kings of France had come forward to swear and swear, people in the European aristocratic circles even more believed that it was the British themselves who did it. Because, if the king of France is not sure, he will certainly not swear casually. In this way, the image of the British "thief shouting to catch the thief" is even more obvious......

At this time, in Spain, there was a lot of noise......

The Spanish aristocracy was divided into two factions, one believing that the British were to blame for the death of Princess Catherine, and that diplomatic relations with Britain should be severed and turned hostile. As for whether to take action, we'll see.

On the other hand, the other faction thinks that this matter is too strange, and the French are indeed very suspicious. Moreover, it is not in Spain's national interest to fall out with Britain. Therefore, it is in Spain's national interest to do this, whether it was done by the French or not, as if it was done by the French......

One of the two factions is the impulsive faction, which is dominated by the young and strong nobles. The other faction is the rational faction, which is dominated by elderly aristocrats. However, although the nobles of the Qingzhuang faction were not rational enough, in the name of honor, they made a lot of noise, which made the rational faction a little overwhelmed. After all, the princess of his own family was poisoned, and Spain's face was indeed gloomy.

As for Ferdinand II, he was more intellectual. After all, he's a veteran politician too. Moreover, Ferdinand II was patriarchal and did not value his daughters, but only Prince Juan. Therefore, for Catherine's death, it is more about the face of the can't hang up, rather than how angry he really is. Therefore, in this matter, he is more inclined to the intellectual. However, in the name of honor, the Young Zhuang faction forced Ferdinand II, who was Catherine's father, to step down and make a difficult decision. Therefore, this matter can only be dragged out first, and a lip lawsuit will be fought first......
