"Invite my whole family to visit London? Why is this?" Marin was a little confused.

You should know that in later generations, because it is convenient to take a plane, the head of state visited abroad was very simple. The so-called "state visits" were still very frequent.

But that was an era when transportation was extremely developed in later generations. But what about this era? Transportation was extremely backward! Especially when traveling to the sea, the safety factor was very low. Before, when Ma Lin sailed to the Ming Dynasty, he had to arrange his funeral because it was too dangerous to sail at sea.

Although there is no danger in traveling from the North Sea to England to the North Sea, few kings generally travel abroad to cross the sea. After all, when they go to the sea, the army guards on land will have no effect. Perhaps, a pirate fleet can easily kill a king by raiding. Because the knights who guard the king may not be able to beat pirates at sea.

Of course, this is not a problem for Marin. As long as 10 500-ton warships are dispatched and gunpowder and iron ball shells are prepared, they can definitely walk horizontally on the sea. As long as the Atlantic routes are not taken with high and high waves, the Pacific and Indian Oceans are safe. The existence of the British Isles naturally blocks the storms on the Atlantic Ocean. Only summer storms are stronger, but in spring, there is no danger. At least, there is no "force majeure" like typhoons or hurricanes. Therefore, Marin has no resistance to traveling to England by boat.

As for why Edward invited himself to visit England, Kohler soon received the information sent from England-

It turned out that there was a civil strife in England...

Speaking of which, France intends to conquer Italy, so naturally he is unwilling to catch a fire in the backyard. Therefore, before going to the expedition, France must ensure safety in the rear.

For France, there are three main threats - Spain, Austria and England. Among them, Spain is the strongest, Austria is second, and England is the weakest.

However, Spain is far southwest and has little threat to Paris in northern France. If you want to threaten Paris, Spain must first occupy the Aquitaine region and Roussillon region in southwest France. When the Spanish chewed the southwest, the French had already prepared and began to fight back. Therefore, although Spain is the strongest, the threat is the smallest.

Then, there is Austria, which has strong land strength. If there is only Austria, France will naturally not be afraid. However, if the Netherlands is added, it will be a great threat to France. Because from the southern part of the Netherlands (Belgium in later generations) to Paris, there is only more than 200 kilometers. As long as the army crosses the Ardennes Forest area on the border, it will be flat and can drive straight into and attack Paris directly.

Therefore, the Habsburg family poses too great a threat to France, which has forced France to fear. Previously, the reason why King Louis XI of France forced to annex the main areas of the Principality of Burgundy (the Burgundy region in later generations) was because the northwest of the Burgundy region was too close to Paris. If the Habsburg family concentrated their cavalry, they could attack Paris in one day. Therefore, King Louis XI of France would not allow the powerful Habsburg family to obtain the Burgundy region.

Even if the Burgundy region is lost, the southern border of the Condorian Netherlands is still too close to Paris. Therefore, the Habsburgs must be a hostile force that poses greater threat to France than Spain.

However, because the main force of the Habsburg family's army is now trapped in Switzerland, Louis XII is not worried that Paris will be threatened by the Habsburg family.

As for England, when Calais was retained as a European continent, the threat to France was no less than that of the Habsburg family. Because the distance from Calais to Paris was about the same as the distance from southern Netherlands to Paris.

If England took advantage of the French main force to go to Italy, landed from Calais, and headed straight to Paris, France would definitely be blind. Therefore, Louis XII would try every means to seize Calais. Without Calais, Britain's threat to France would be reduced by a large margin.

However, because Britain had an absolute naval advantage in the English Channel, Louis XII was also worried that Britain would use its powerful naval force to launch a landing war against France and threaten Paris.

Therefore, before sending troops, Louis XII tried every means to cause trouble for England so that England would really take the opportunity to send troops to attack Paris.

For this purpose, Louis XII allocated a batch of money and grain, and even elite French soldiers, who temporarily served the remnants of the Tudors in the name of mercenaries, and instructed them to return to England to cause trouble...

At present, because of the "birth" of Margaret, the only surviving daughter of Henry VII, the "born" of "Henry VIII", the remaining forces that made the Tudor dynasty escape to France seemed to have found their backbone at once, and they all came to Queen Margaret.

This time, with the generous help from France to pay, Queen Margaret was naturally full of energy and planned to make some congestion for her enemy Edward...

As a result, a group of elite French troops, together with a large amount of military supplies, were transported to the Wales region in the western part of the British Isle, including Lancaster County in northwest England - which was the basic system of the Tudor family...

What? You ask why you don't support the southern coast of England that is closer to France? Because it is the core area of ​​England, Edward's people are very close to it and it is difficult to start. Moreover, the French cannot do this in such a core area without knowing it.

In the west of England, and in the northwest Lancaster County, the British army's defense was much lower. Moreover, this was the main supporting area of ​​the Tudors.

There is no need to say that Lancaster County was the leader of the Lancaster Clan. He naturally supported the Tudor dynasty, the heir of the Lancaster Clan, and naturally opposed Edward's York dynasty. Although Edward later killed many of the Lancaster Clan, the public opinion still supported the Tudor dynasty of the Lancaster Clan. This time, Louis XII also supported the remnants of the Tudor dynasty with weapons and supplies landed along the coast of Lancaster Clan and mobilized the local people to raise an army to resist Edward.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Wales, there is the place where Henry VII landed in the battle for the throne. There were a group of nobles who supported the Tudor dynasty in the local area. Of course, after Edward seized the throne, he also killed the local noble families who supported the Tudor dynasty.

But in this era, local aristocrats were often benchmarks and leaders of the local people, as well as public opinion leaders. Therefore, Edward had a bad reputation in Wales. Louis XII also knew this, so he sent some remnants of the Tudor dynasty and brought a group of French warriors to incite the rebellion in the local area...

...

It just so happened that Edward and the nobles had a tense relationship with the aristocracy because of the abolition of the Magna Carta. Therefore, the French inciting the rebellion of the people of Lancaster County and Wales this time went very smoothly. Although many nobles in England who maintained the Magna Carta did not support the rebellion on the surface, they deliberately let the water and showed mercy, which led to the ineffective suppression of the two places in the early stages of the rebellion. Then, the scale of the rebellion expanded...

But unfortunately, because of the incident of winning over the Fourth and Fifth Legions of the Beihai Kingdom, Edward had a gap in his relationship with the two legions.

But at this critical moment, Edward needed the Fourth and Fifth Legions to support him in suppressing the rebellion in both places and intimidate the nobles in the country.

Therefore, at this time, Edward planned to ease the conflict between the two sides by inviting Marin to visit. The most important thing is to obtain unconditional support from the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion.

Also, once this visit is reached, all forces in England will realize that the Fourth and Fifth Legions still support Edward, and the York Dynasty cannot collapse... In this way, England can also stabilize quickly...

Moreover, Marin himself is a "powerful thug", a demon-level figure who can stop children from crying in Lancaster. Marin came to London to stand up for Edward, which is itself a deterrent.
