Chapter 1227 Planning to abolish
"Damn, this guy wants to poach me?" Marling was shocked.
Moreover, Edward has a very big hand, and he actually wants to poach two major legions of his command in one go, and wants to pack them up and take them away... This... this appetite is a bit too big...
"Hmph, it seems that I'm too polite to you..." Marin thought with a gloomy face.
Fortunately, I had already secretly sent someone to inform Sakara and Sivag. Otherwise, if the two of them mistakenly thought that something happened to Marin, they might have really been shaken.
After all, if something happened to Marin, the Beihai Kingdom would be difficult to have influence on the British Isles within a few years. Because before Caesar became an adult, the Beihai Kingdom's first task was to protect itself.
In this case, the Fourth and Fifth Legion were half abandoned in England and Scotland. If Marin was not aware that Marin was still alive, Edward might have succeeded in poaching people.
Once Edward successfully poached people, Marin's foundation that he worked hard to build in England and Scotland would be instantly eaten by Edward, including the powerful Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion.
In addition, Marin also heard from the eyeliner who was placed in the London Palace that Edward actually had the idea of remorse about his marriage...
What kind of marriage do you regret? Of course it was Princess Margaret's engagement with Caesar...
Edward didn't know that he had no fertility anymore, and he thought that he might be able to give birth to a prince when he worked hard. Therefore, Edward planned to use his daughter Princess Margaret to marry a powerful monarch to jointly deal with France.
Moreover, the spy from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce found out that Edward chose the new marriage partner, Charlie, the grandson of Maximilian I...
Why choose Charlie? Because Edward had a lot of ideas about France. After all, Britain and France have been a feud for hundreds of years. The reason why Edward wanted to annex the Fourth and Fifth Legions was also planned to attack France.
而眼下,哈布斯堡家族的军队跟法国支持的瑞士打得不可开交.所以,爱德华认为,哈布斯堡家族是一个很合适的一起揍法国的盟友.而把女儿嫁给查理,是加深两国关系的最佳手段.
Of course, Edward just had this intention at the moment. Because he had not left his son yet. If he gave birth to a son, Princess Margaret would be sold as a bargaining chip by him without hesitation. But he didn't know that he didn't have this opportunity...
Moreover, his thoughts angered Marin - numb, dare to retire my son's marriage? You just want to die like this? It seems that you have to find a way to kill you earlier so as not to cause trouble...
"Ah...wait, dead dad, being dismissed... This seems to be the protagonist's template routine again... Should Caesar be really dismissed... Maybe it can accelerate growth..."
Marin finally shook his head and rejected this strange idea. Because, if he was really resigned from the engagement, the idea of unifying England would be bankrupt. It would be impossible to conquer England violently, but in the future, he would face the dilemma of fighting on both sides. After all, without legal support, he would rashly annex England, and he would definitely resist in the future. He would have to fight Germany again, and England would be considered a big rear, so he should not be in chaos.
Moreover, Edward was just an idea. Besides, he was kicked a bad guy and couldn't give birth to a son. That idea was just an idea after all.
Marin suddenly remembered that it seemed that England had a Magna Carta that had a great restriction on the monarch. Especially the "recognition of freedom of self-built cities" was the one that Marin disliked the most. These self-built cities were completely like countries in the country and were not under the official jurisdiction of the royal power. In Marin's view, this was just a division. As a time traveler with the soul of China, the idea of unification had long been deeply engraved into the soul. He would rather slaughter all the citizens of the autonomous municipality than tolerate urban autonomy. In fact, North America's independence later was deeply influenced by this idea of autonomy. He did not want his son to be held back when he ruled England in the future. Therefore, he began to plan to abolish the Magna Carta.
It just so happened that after Edward's massacre, the nobles in England who can currently fight against the kings were at their weakest time. If the Magna Carta was proposed to abolish the Magna Carta at this time, the resistance would be minimal.
Moreover, Edward has been carrying enough blood debts. As the saying goes, "If there are too many lice, you won't be afraid of itchy." Marin plans to encourage Edward to abolish the Magna Carta after this incident. After all, the appearance of the Magna Carta is a shame for the king. If he is willing to support him with all his strength, he has no reason not to do it. When Edward finishes all the offensive things, Marin can find a way to give him a "complete rest"...
...
Thinking of this, Marin called Kohler and ordered:
"You go and arrange for spies to secretly spread news in England, and say that the king wants to abolish the Magna Carta."
After thinking about it, Marin added:
"After distributing this false news, you will arrange for someone to inform the remnants of the Tudor dynasty in France to know."
Kohler was a little stunned when he heard this:
"Young Master, what you mean..."
"I said don't call me a young master, I'm 33 now! Have you ever seen a 33-year-old young master?"
"Okay, Master! So, what's the master calling? Master?"
After hearing this, Malin thought it was a little strange, but he also thought it was good. So he nodded:
"Well, this is a good name!" Old Hoffman is not in charge of business anyway, mainly at home, which is very consistent with the character of "old man"...
"Then what do you mean by asking me to inform the remnants of the Tudor dynasty?"
"You have also read the information. Edward has been dishonest recently and wants to annex my army. So, let us find something for him to give him a headache. I inform the remnants of the Tudor dynasty, so I naturally hope that they will work hard to add fire and make Edward more headache."
But Marin changed his tone and said:
"However, I hope Edward really abolished the Magna Carta. In this way, when Caesar unites England, he will not be held back. So, you send someone to inform Sakara and Sivag that they are ambiguous about Edward's solicitation, but they all clearly support the abolition of the Magna Carta and say that it is a shame for the king!"
Kohler thought for a while and finally realized:
"Young Master... Ah, Master, what you mean is to use public opinion to hype this topic first, and then let the two legion commanders deliberately express their support for the abolition of the Magna Carta. In this way, His Majesty Edward will be moved and will really abolish the Magna Carta?"
Marin nodded:
"This is just the first step. When I show up in a few months, I will make a statement myself and be willing to send troops to support him in abolishing the Magna Carta. In this way, I don't worry that he will not be moved."
Kohler thought about it and it was true. If Marin had fully supported it, Edward would have enough confidence to abolish the Magna Carta. Moreover, for a king, the Magna Carta is really not a good thing. At the beginning, the reason why John I accepted the Magna Carta was because Britain had just paid a ransom of 150,000 mark of silver to Emperor Henry VI of the Sunrose because of Richard I being captured. This money was all collected from all over the UK, which consumed British finances and caused resentment from the British. Richard I even went to France to rob and died in the process of robbery. After John I ascended the throne, the royal family owed a lot of debts and was unable to fight against the nobles, so he had to sign a humiliating treaty. But after John I gained a foothold, he tore up the Magna Carta.
But after Henry III succeeded to the throne, because Henry III was the young master who succeeded to the throne at the age of 9, he was bullied by the nobles, and then the Magna Carta was restored.
In short, the Magna Carta is the product of the king's surrender to the nobles, and no king is willing to accept it. In particular, the Magna Carta separates the judicial power and deprives the king of the right to pronounce the verdict. Although this seems to be very progressive to later generations, in the 16th century, England was the only one, which was a shame for the king. Because, in this way, even if the king hates someone to death, if there is no court judgment controlled by the nobles, the king will have no way to deal with his enemies and will not be able to throw him into prison. Such a king is indeed cowardly.
Now, due to the civil war, the aristocratic class has been bloodbathed and its strength has fallen to a low point. If Marincoln sent troops to help, Edward could definitely successfully tear up the Magna Carta. Therefore, Marin did not worry that Edward would not take the bait.
