Chapter 550 Secret Letter

After obtaining such an inference, Princess Margaret herself was also shocked. She could not imagine why a German prince would interfere in the affairs of England. Moreover, this guy's military strength was so strong.
So Princess Margaret of the York family began to collect information about Marin, including the situation related to the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, including the "Morgan Chamber of Commerce".
After summarizing it up, Princess Margaret discovered an important situation, that is, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce has a lot of food, while the Morgan Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to the coal mines in Newcastle. In addition, after helping his younger brother Edward, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce asked for a place - Mount Tara, Ireland. However, after sending people to dig deep into the ground, the excavation stopped due to large-scale seepage...
If the bosses behind the North Sea Chamber of Commerce and the Morgan Chamber of Commerce were Marin Hoffman, then Princess Margaret came to an important conclusion that this person has abundant food but is very interested in coal resources. Even the younger brother who helped the Ireland Islands was for the unknown mineral underground...
Moreover, Princess Margaret concluded that even if Marin Hoffmann was not the master behind the North Sea Chamber of Commerce and the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, he had a very different relationship with him. Because in the battle of Lubeck, the 10,000 English mercenaries who appeared were clearly recruited by the Morgan Chamber of Commerce in Newcastle.
The 10,000 English mercenaries were said to have good combat power and successfully attacked and defeated the side of the Bossa coalition, which had Swiss mercenaries. If the 10,000 mercenaries could be hired to help his younger brother, he would have a great chance of defeating Henry VII...
You know, the total number of troops that Henry VII could gather was only 10,000 or 20,000. Edward's men now have more than 10,000 troops in web games. If those 10,000 English mercenaries were added, it would be very likely to defeat Henry VII.
Besides, that Marin Hoffman seemed to have started his career by mercenaries and made his fortune after gaining military achievements in the war for the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. Before that, it was said that he was just a wandering knight without inheritance, not even a nobleman...
If... if this person can be hired to fight for his younger brother, wouldn't it be easy to defeat Henry VII with his strength of 40,000 troops?
Once the younger brother becomes king, her sister will immediately become noble and will become the eldest princess. Unlike now, she is just an embarrassing princess, and she is also under the surveillance of Henry VII...
Although the status of Princess Margaret only went one step further when her younger brother became the king - the princess became the princess. However, the treatment was very different. Because now, she is basically half the prisoner that Henry VII monitored and suspected.
Even Henry VII's designated husband Richard Pole was monitoring her...
Princess Margaret doesn't like her husband Richard Pole, Henry VII's loyal dog. Because the other party "loves" Henry VII better than himself. How can such a husband help outsiders monitor him?
Therefore, Princess Margaret didn't like her current life very much. However, she couldn't resist before. Because, her title as the Countess of Salisbury was basically empty. The real power of the fief was in the hands of her husband Richard Pohl. She was a princess with limited money in her hands. It was inconvenient to do something. Until... the people of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce found themselves and asked themselves to represent the sales of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's grain in England...
Then, Princess Margaret took advantage of the opportunity to represent the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to intercept a large amount of money by falsely reporting the import prices and sales of grains, and began to buy all kinds of useful people. First, she helped her brother escape from the Tower of London and escaped the death penalty...
Then, Princess Margaret, who had money and someone in her hands, turned into a spy and secretly helped her brother collect useful information in London, hoping to help her brother as much as possible.
She was already desperate for her husband Richard Pole. Before the last time she sent troops, she begged her husband not to kill her younger brother. However, her husband Richard Pole didn't care much about her begging, but obeyed her master Henry VII's words and strongly wanted to kill Edward...
...
In fact, before drawing this inference, Princess Margaret did not have much ambition. Although she had thought about her younger brother's successful overthrow of Henry VII to become the king of England, Princess Margaret did not think that would become a reality. Because Henry VII's rule was very stable and her strength was much stronger than her younger brother. It was already very good that her younger brother Edward could gain a foothold on the Ireland Island and compete with Henry VII. It seemed unlikely to do better...
But after obtaining this amazing inference, Princess Margaret's idea changed. She began to feel that it seemed not too difficult for her younger brother to become the King of England...
As long as you can win over this very good-for-fighter Marin Hoffman, it seems that it is not a problem to defeat Henry VII...
You know, Marin Hoffman was able to mobilize an army of 40,000 and defeated 50,000 elite enemy troops including 20,000 Swiss mercenaries. If he was willing to help his younger brother attack Henry VII, the victory would be almost certain.
If Henry VII dies, he can mobilize more than 20,000 troops, at least half of which are local troops without combat effectiveness. The true elite troops can be at most more than 10,000. As long as Marin Hoffmann sends troops to help his younger brother, there are too many. With only 20,000 elite troops, he can defeat Henry VII and regain the throne.
According to the information, this person was born in a mercenary and was not those reserved nobles. As long as his younger brother was willing to pay the price, such as giving him Newcastle, he was still very confident to convince him to send troops.
Moreover, it is a killing of Newcastle to this person. Why? Because Newcastle is located in the northeast of England and is a border area with Scotland. If Newcastle is sealed to this person, it will also have the effect of blocking Scottish invasion.
On the contrary, because of the threat from Scotland, even if he canonize this person as the lord of Newcastle, the threat from Scotland in the north made him lose the energy to take into account the affairs of the south and would not affect his brother's control of the overall situation.
As for worrying about his growth and rebellion, Europeans seem to have no worries about this. Princess Margaret doesn't think that the other party who became the Earl of Newcastle would rebel. Why? Because the other party does not have the blood of the English royal family...
Although England often competes for the throne, and deposed the king, everyone involved in the throne has royal blood. People without royal blood are not qualified to participate in the throne struggle. At most, choose to support a certain royal member.
Therefore, Princess Margaret of the York family believes that it is feasible to win over Marin Hoffman and help his younger brother compete for the throne in England. Moreover, it is the only feasible way to get his younger brother to ascend the throne...
As a smart woman, Princess Margaret deeply understands that although France and Scotland support their younger brother, they do not mean to help their younger brother seize the throne, but they only hope that their younger brother will cause trouble for Henry VII and not let Britain be stable. If you want your younger brother to seize the throne, you have to rely on a powerful general like Marin. As long as you pay for the fief of a county, you will not be able to tempt the other party without believing it...
Through previous cases, Princess Margaret discovered that after defeating the other party in war, she always asked the other party to ced a large area of ​​land. Therefore, Princess Margaret determined that Margaret was a man who valued land very much. As long as he enthroned Northumberland, including Newcastle, he would not be moved. As for the original Earl of Northumberland? This guy is Henry VII's man, at least he could kill or abolish the title...
After thinking about all this, Princess Margaret wrote a secret letter, telling her brother her plan, and strongly suggesting her brother to implement the plan.
Before his brother could rebel successfully, Princess Margaret began to "guise" her brother. It can be seen that if Edward really seized the throne of England, the princess (who should have been called the princess at that time) would definitely stir up the storm and control the English government...
This secret letter Margaret selected the most trusted subordinates, chose the right time, and after arriving in Wales, he took a boat crossing the sea in the middle of the night to Ireland...
Now there are much fewer British ships on the Irish sea, because most of these warships were recruited by the royal family from the Five Harbor Alliance, and they were originally merchant ships.
As for merchant ships, they naturally have to get goods to make money. It is okay to fight for the king in a short period of time, but they cannot stay on the battlefield all the time. Therefore, most merchant ships from the Five Port Alliance have returned to get goods to make money, leaving only a small number of ships to continue patrolling the Irish Sea and the English Channel, guarding against the movements in Ireland and France.
