Chapter 1708: Louis XII dies

France is one of the few major artillery powers in Europe in this era, and France has always been the country with the largest number of artillery in Europe before the appearance of Marin, a big bomb from later generations. Every time they went into battle, the main force of the French army would carry hundreds of artillery pieces, and the few were seventy or eighty. In the beginning, the French relied on artillery bombardment to defeat the English longbowmen and win the Hundred Years' War.

However, Marin, the traverser, is even more ruthless. He came from the later generations of China, which was a country of superstitious firepower. In the war with the Yue monkeys, Huaxia washed the ground with millions of shells and beat the Yue monkeys so that they couldn't raise their heads.

Since he was a child, he has been baptized by the idea of bombing, and Marin attaches great importance to artillery. Today, the total number of artillery pieces in the North Sea State is several hundred, which is several times that of France.

In fact, because of the iron mold casting cannon method, as long as there is enough cannon copper, Marin can cast as many copper cannons as he wants. Even if large-caliber iron cannons are difficult to cast, the Beihai Kingdom also casts a lot, mainly for naval guns on battleships.

It's just that Marin is very low-key and never shows off cannons. So, no one else knows that there are so many cannons in the North Sea country. France has always been high-profile and is the first power in Europe, so the fame of French artillery is greater.

Of course, the relationship between the Swiss and the North Sea Country is not good, and if they want to borrow a cannon from Marin, Marin will not give it. Therefore, Ziggy could only seek to borrow artillery from the French to bombard the concrete fortresses.

It's just that Ziggy didn't know that Marin had built the fortress for the Habsburg family this time, and not only used cement, but also asbestos fibers to make fiber concrete. Although the strength is not as strong as that of reinforced concrete, it is also very strong.

Of course, if the Swiss can get heavy artillery, asbestos fiber reinforced concrete is indeed a bit unsightly. However, Ziggy borrowed a cannon from the French. The caliber of the French artillery is generally not large, and the largest is generally a three-pounder gun. This kind of small cannon, there is nothing to do with asbestos fiber reinforced concrete. Moreover, in the west-facing part of some important forts, Marin also provided a batch of reinforcement. Reinforced concrete, even the cannons of later generations are difficult to deal with, let alone the smoothbore cannons of this era?

Moreover, when Marin helped the Habsburgs build the fortress, he deliberately built the bastion structure - this is the most resistant structure to shelling.

Therefore, Ziggy's plan fell through at the beginning......

But Ziggy didn't know it, and he went to Paris to see Louis XII, hoping to borrow 40 cannons to uproot the cement fortresses. Moreover, it is hoped that France will provide professional artillery. After all, in these years, artillery is a purely "technical job", and it cannot be trained in a few years.

Louis XII was busy making villains at the moment, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Ziggy. However, it was a consistent policy of France to support Switzerland against the Habsburgs. So, after thinking about it, he promised to lend Zieg 25 guns, including artillery and ammunition for these guns, which were supplied. After all, Louis XII was absolutely happy to see the Habsburgs unlucky......

……

Zieg happily returned with 25 French cannons, while Louis XII continued to be busy building villains......

It's not that Louis XII was lustful, but King Edward of England had sent a letter of state, reminding Louis XII that if France had not produced a prince in 1515, Princess Marguerite would not consider marrying France. After all, Princess Margaret would not marry a little boy who is more than 10 years younger than herself.

Therefore, Louis XII was very anxious at this time, anxious to give birth to a prince within this year. In order to give birth to a prince, Louis XII didn't have time to deal with court politics these days, nor did he have time to trouble Marin, but was busy making villains in the backyard of the palace with Queen Anne all day long......

With the help of the substances added to the food of the fat brothers, Louis XII looked quite "brave", fighting day and night. Unfortunately, Louis XII did not know that Queen Anne under him had already lost her fertility. No matter how hard he tries, he can't give birth to a prince. Not to mention the prince, the princess can't be.

Moreover, even if Queen Anne is still fertile, every day is not scientific! According to the scientific profit of later generations, it is easier for a woman to conceive only about 10 days before the month comes. The days after that were all the legendary "safe periods". On days like this, no matter how hard you try, it's useless......

But Louis XII didn't understand, he worked day and night for the birth of the prince, except for a few days when the queen took a rest, and the rest of the time he did business every day, which was extremely hard.

And Queen Anne is no longer the young and beautiful "nephew" that Louis XII coveted (Louis XII's cousin at the time of Charles VIII, Queen Anne was the queen of Charles VIII). Today, Queen Anne is 37 years old.

In later generations, with the cover of evil magic-like makeup, women may not look old. But this era......

Even if Anne is the queen, after the age of 30, it is inevitable that she will begin to age. In particular, Caucasian women age earlier than yellow women.

Today, Queen Anne is no longer youthful and beautiful, and signs of aging such as crow's feet begin to appear on her face. The most terrible thing is that Queen Anne has gained weight......

The once beautiful Queen Anne, nourished by the delicacies of the fat brothers, began to develop horizontally. The original ordinary waist circumference has directly become a bucket waist. And his face began to be full of flesh......

Double chin or something, but normal operation. The most terrible thing is that at night, while sleeping, Queen Anne begins to snore......

Moreover, a 37-year-old woman is at the age of ferocity. The so-called tiger wolf also refers to a woman of this age......

On the other hand, Louis XII was just a thin old man of 52 years old. Although he was the king of France, Louis XII was responsible for state affairs and all kinds of worries every day. Although the living conditions are good, the body has always been sub-healthy.

To be honest, Louis XII would have long since been able to hold Queen Anne, who had become fat and became Jaling. But for the sake of the romance of the French, Louis XII had to endure nausea every day, accompany the queen to candlelight dinners, and say some sensual love words......

At night, Louis XII was actually quite frightened. said that Queen Anne was Jia Ling, and they all praised her a little. At least, although Jia Ling has a lot of meat, his face does not look old. But Queen Anne is not only fat, but also old. If you give a reference, it's Russian aunt......

In the face of such a villain-making object, it is no wonder that Louis XII can do it. Guo Da said well, "A middle-aged couple kisses, and nightmares can be made for a few nights."

At the moment, Louis XII was in such a state that he did not dare to look at Queen Anne when he was doing things......

However, in order to give birth to the most orthodox heir to France, and in order to peacefully unite the kingdom of England, the sworn enemy, without spending a single soldier, Louis XII fought hard......

Every time, before making a villain with Queen Anne, Louis XII had to cheer himself up:

"For France! For the prince! ”

Then he could summon the courage to die generously and pounce on Queen Anne, who was like a fat aunt......

"Hurry up! Your Majesty! Queen Anne's fleshy face was full of impatience. If it weren't for the fact that her husband was a king, she would have pulled a big-eared scraper over a long time ago—what the hell? So powerless!

Louis XII can't say how hard he is, these two days have been cold in the early spring, and he has suffered a little cold, a little weak. However, for the sake of the prince, he had to work hard......

Two minutes later, Louis XII surrendered......

Dissatisfied, Queen Anne pushed Louis XII and complained:

"Your Majesty, work hard, for the prince, for England......" she was embarrassed to say that she still needed to manage the goose, so she could only motivate Louis XII in this way......

Louis XII rested for a long time before he regained his breath. I wanted it to be over, but when I heard the queen's encouragement, I rekindled my fighting spirit......

"For France!" After Louis XII shouted the slogan, he continued to work hard......

Unfortunately, he was very weak at this time, and the consequence of barely making a second shot was that Louis XII foamed at the mouth on the queen's belly......

But Queen Anne did not notice the danger, because, in order to avoid seeing Queen Anne's aunt's face clearly, Louis XII deliberately turned off the lights before doing his errand. Then, his foaming at the mouth was not detected by Queen Anne in time...... Moreover, it was not the first time that Louis XII had taken a break from her after exhaustion......

It wasn't until Louis XII's body began to cool down that Queen Anne noticed that something was wrong......

"Your Majesty is dead—" came Queen Anne's terrified screams from the palace......
