Giovanni, who gained control of the banking sector in Florence. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici was so happy that he didn't know how to get better, and he called his brother Giuliano. Morality. The Medici, together with the brothers, gave Marin a grand banquet to express their gratitude.

Giuliano, who was now in charge of the woollen mills in Florence that had regained control, happened to be in Rome on an errand, so he was brought in by his brother to pay Marin for a drink.

Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici actually had a nephew, the son of his eldest brother Pierrot. His eldest brother, Pierrot, died in 1503, leaving only his son Pierrot and daughter Clarisse. And his brother Giuliano. Morality. The Medici, a year younger than Marin, has no children. It seems that there will be no in the future.

Wine table, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici sighed again and again, lamenting that his eldest niece, Clarice, was a little older and had just married this year. Otherwise, you can marry Caesar, the son of Marin.

Marin smiled in his heart, not to mention that Clarice is a little older and married, even if she is the right age, Marin will not be. After all, marrying Edward's daughter and annexing England was the best option. Of course, if Louis XII was willing to marry his only daughter, Princess Claude, to Caesar, Marin would gladly agree. After all, France has a thicker foundation than England. But Marin knew that this was impossible, and Maximilian I had historically proposed marriage to Louis XII for his grandson, Charles V. However, it was rejected by the French aristocracy. Because, the French aristocracy could not tolerate a German becoming king of France (France also pursued the Salic succession law, and Princess Claude could not become queen, only her husband could become king of France).

It is clear that Marin was also a German, the object of ostracism and boycott by the French aristocracy. Therefore, it is not necessary to think about marrying Princess Claude, and the possibility of annexing France is extremely small. Edward, on the other hand, was different, because Edward seized the throne of England through violence, and all the previous nobles were killed. Therefore, Edward's daughter, Princess Margaret, married Caesar, but no one objected. Because, no one is qualified to object, and those who are qualified are killed. Moreover, Marin is now considered an earl of England, not an outsider, and there is no reason for others to object. Of course, Edward didn't know that his eggs were bad, and he was still trying to give birth to a male heir. If you have a son and your daughter marries abroad, it doesn't matter......

After that, Giovanni who did not give up. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The Medici proposed another plan - his eldest nephew, Lorenzo II, to marry Mary, the daughter of Marin's eldest brother Adler. Although Mary is a little younger, she can get married in a few years. Because, in Europe in this era, it is normal for men to marry wives over the age of 30, while aristocratic girls often marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Mary is older than Caesar, and Lorenzo II can marry Mary in a few years......

But Marin rejected Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. Why is this proposal of the Medici? Because he knows that this thing will become the Pope in the future. If Lorenzo II had married little Mary, wouldn't little Mary have become the Pope's niece-in-law? In that way, Adler's status also rose. Moreover, it is said that sister-in-law Liv is pregnant again. If a boy had been born and little Marie had married Lorenzo II, the boy would have become the brother-in-law of the nephew of the future Pope...... In doing so, it could threaten Caesar...... After all, in terms of inheritance rules, Adler's family is the elder...... Marin doesn't mind giving Adler's family wealth, but this wealth can't exceed Marin's control...... Adler's family and the future Pope are married, which is not something Marin wants to see......

However, Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. After all, the Medici was the future pope, and Marin couldn't refuse to be too blunt to avoid being hated by him. So, he had to excuse himself and say that Little Mary had other arrangements. As for marriage, it's not impossible. Anyway, isn't his brother Giuliano still unmarried? And Marin himself, there will be children in the future. Therefore, Marin proposed that his younger brother Giuliano could marry him if he had a child in the future......

It's just that Marin clearly remembers that the main branch of the Medici family seems to have died later. Then, the one who became the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who seemed to be a branch. And this Giuliano, it seems, only one illegitimate child named Hippolito survived. However, this guy is also a short-lived ghost, and he has been put on the throne of the ruler of Florence by the Holy See, but unfortunately he only lived to be more than twenty years old before he hung up, and he didn't have time to leave offspring. Then, the control of the Medici family fell to the branches......

All in all, the men in the main vein of the Medici family are short-lived ghosts and cannot be provoked. If you marry your daughter to a short-lived ghost, won't you hurt your daughter? However, the women of the Medici family were not short-lived. It is not known how long Clarice lived, but Lorenzo II's daughter, Catherine, Marin did. Because, Catherine. Morality. The Medici was the queen of King Henry II of France. Moreover, the original historical French cuisine was developed in the hands of the Italian chefs she brought with her. French perfume is also her precedent.

Of course, the French feast has now been made out early by Marin, and the perfume Marin has also been made first. So, there was no Catherine in the future. Morality. What's wrong with the Medici.

However, even if Catherine. Morality. The Medici were famous, and Marin would not have chosen to let her son marry her. Because, it's a seniority......

Catherine. Morality. The Medici is Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The granddaughter of the Medici's eldest brother, Pierrot, and herself is Giovanni. Advance. Lorenzo. Morality. The sworn brother of the Medici. That is, she is Catherine. Morality. Medici's grandfather's generation, his own son was Catherine. Morality. Medici's uncle's generation, it's not a match. Moreover, Marin, who is familiar with history, knows that this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has made a mess of France, and she wants to be the Empress Dowager Cixi but has insufficient skills, but she has done a lot of stupid things. In addition, she is said to be a bit ugly......

Marin thought about it, but decided not to marry the Medici family. After all, a group of short-lived ghosts are not good partners for marriage. However, then again, it may be because of the lack of medical skills. After all, Florence was the territory of the Holy See, the most superstitious, and did not attach much importance to real medicine. If you provide some clever doctors, maybe they won't be so short-lived? Not to mention anything else, as the brother of the alliance, Leo X, Marin must hope that he will live a long time. In this way, their own interests can be guaranteed......

……

After the banquet was dismissed, Marin returned to the hotel where he was staying, surrounded by the guards. But as soon as he returned, he received a shocking piece of news - the Spaniards had made a move on Morocco......

Having accepted Marin's suggestion earlier this year, Juan III began lobbying the country's nobility and his father, Ferdinand II, to support his annexation of Morocco. At the same time, he also entrusted Queen Margaret of Austria to use her connections in Germany to recruit 20,000 mercenaries from Germany.

Just some time ago, 20,000 German mercenaries recruited with the help of Margaret of Austria finally arrived in Spain and completed the assembly. And Juan III also officially ordered to send troops to Morocco......

Marin is not surprised that the Spaniards made a move on Morocco, but he wonders how to choose such a time period. It's the beginning of October, and the autumn harvest begins. Generally speaking, don't wars always choose the leisure time between spring plowing and autumn harvest? What does it mean to choose a hands-on approach to the autumn harvest?

And Marin's intelligence officers in Spain quickly sent the answer - it turned out that the Spaniards were planning to take advantage of the autumn harvest to rob the Moroccans of the autumn harvest......

It turned out that the price of food in Spain was too expensive, and the cost of buying grain was a bit high. As a result, some Spanish nobles proposed that it would be better to take advantage of the Moroccans' autumn harvest season to send troops to rob the Moroccans of grain. As for the Moroccans starving to death because of the looting of food, what is their business? Anyway, Moroccans, whether Arabs or Berbers, are pagans and starve to death...... And this vicious suggestion was strongly supported by the fanatical and radical Spanish Inquisition......

In this way, taking advantage of the autumn harvest, Spain mobilized a large army across the sea and began an attack on Morocco, earlier than Marin......
