After all, the Kingdom of Malacca is a backward country and its military combat effectiveness is also poor. Therefore, Marin does not think that the Kingdom of Malacca can withstand the Portuguese for too long. It may be able to withstand for a few years, but as long as the Portuguese are ruthless, Malacca will eventually fall.
Marin's move was just to delay Portugal's progress in the east. By the time the Portuguese took over the Kingdom of Malacca, Marin had already gained a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, the fall of the Kingdom of Malacca had a great impact on Portugal. In history, nine years after the Portuguese captured Malacca, Prince Bintang of Malacca sent envoys to the capital to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the warlike Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao, was just sick at that time and could not pay attention to this matter. The civil officials opposed sending troops across the ocean.
However, these civil servants made a decision, a decision that had a great impact on the Portuguese - not allowing the Portuguese to pay tribute, and seized the Portuguese envoy Pires, demanding that the Portuguese withdraw from the Kingdom of Malacca.
Although this decision is ridiculous, it has one consequence of the fact that the Portuguese cannot legally trade with the Ming Dynasty.
It was not until 1557 that the Portuguese thought of a secret trick - to deceive and bribe local officials to obtain the right to go to Macau to do business. However, this delay delayed the Portuguese for more than 20 years. During this period, the Portuguese could only obtain a small amount of silk and porcelain through smuggling. During this period, they also tried to attack the Ming Dynasty, but were repelled. After finding that the Ming Dynasty was not easy to mess with, they changed their methods in 1557, bribed local officials and obtained the small base in Macau.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Malacca not only has an important geographical location, but also had a huge impact on the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal.
Therefore, Marin planned to ask Columbus to remind the king of the Kingdom of Malacca - if there is anything, find the Ming Dynasty...
In history, the Kingdom of Malacca was destroyed for nine years before it remembered to go to the Ming Dynasty to seek help. It was stupid enough. As long as the Kingdom of Malacca (called Mantaga Kingdom on the Ming Dynasty) was destroyed by the Portuguese, the Ming Dynasty would definitely react in the spirit of being responsible for his younger brother. Whether it was declared war on Portugal or as in history, not allowing Portugal to pay tribute, it would deteriorate the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese. The Portuguese would definitely refuse to give up the fat he swallowed, so the demise of the Kingdom of Malacca would be the reason for the deterioration of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal.
The Ming Dynasty did not accept the Portuguese, and Marin stepped forward to compete again. Then, Marin would have the majority of the interests of the Ming trade. The Portuguese could only rely on smuggling to drink some soup at most. Who told them to dare to annex the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty?
In addition, Marin did not intend to take out the Red Barbarian cannons to the Ming Dynasty this time, but to offer the most popular rear-mounted Franco bronze cannons in Europe. It was not that Marin blocked the Ming Dynasty's technology, but because if Marin first used the cast iron cannon, the news was likely to be learned by the Portuguese. After all, the Portuguese also knew how to bribe and bribe the news.
Therefore, the first batch of tributes that Marin presented to the Ming Dynasty would be a batch of coercine guns and Franchise bronze cannons. Moreover, this is just a gadget to take the lead. The real killer is sweet potato. This made the so-called prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty, and Marin planned to use it to exchange for stable trade qualifications.
For an agricultural country, sweet potatoes are definitely a nuclear weapon-level killer. Can it not be shocking if the yield per mu is more than ten times more than wheat?
Moreover, sweet potatoes are delicious. Whether it is roasted sweet potatoes or sweet potato flour as vermicelli, they are delicious. Marin doesn’t mind sending trained chefs to show the deliciousness of roasted sweet potatoes, duck blood vermicelli, beef vermicelli to the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty...
...
In the Tower of London Palace, Henry VII stood in the yard with a gloomy face, watching a large group of farmers dig the land in the palace. Since Edward successfully filed a complaint in the Roman Catholic Church, Henry VII has become a suspect in regicide.
Although everyone in England knows that Richard III murdered Edward V and Richard Duke of York, the question is - what about the corpse?
Without the corpse, who can prove that Richard III killed Edward V and Richard, Duke of York? Perhaps, they were really missing?
Henry VII could not find fault with Pope Julius II's verdict. Indeed, if the bodies of Edward V and Richard Duke of York could not be found, it would be impossible to prove that Richard III was a regicide. If Richard III was a regicide, then Henry VII himself became a regicide. Even if he married Edward IV's daughter, it would be useless. As a regicide, it would be useless to marry anyone who was guilty. Besides, the York family and Edward, the male heir, were alive, and it was not the princess. After all, if Richard III could not prove that Richard III was a regicide, Edward was a legal heir. Because when Richard III was reigned, after his son died, he appointed Edward Earl Warwick as the crown prince...
Although Richard III later changed the Earl of Lincoln, the son of Elizabeth of my sister York, to the crown prince, but that was unreasonable. Because Earl of Lincoln was not a member of the York family. According to the law, Edward was the authentic heir. Therefore, Henry VII was very afraid of Edward and imprisoned him for more than ten years. In the end, he wanted to cut him down, but did not touch Earl of Lincoln. Because Richard III made Earl of Lincoln the crown prince, which was a chaos of politics and was also one of the reasons for his betrayal of his relatives...
However, it has been more than twenty years since Richard III murdered Edward V and Richard Duke of York. Henry VII had not been searching for it, but after searching through the Tower of London, he could not find Edward V's body.
Originally, this matter was over. After all, who was worried about a failed dead man? But now, Edward Earl of Warwick escaped and proclaimed himself Edward VI, which made Henry VII very angry.

However, Marin's poisonous plan made several northern counties and even the central counties in England chaos. Now, Sir Richard Pole's army still leaves 10,000 people to maintain public order in the central area and guard against those refugees.
After more than a year of recovery and this year's autumn harvest, all the rich counties in southern England achieved good harvests, Henry VII originally planned to send troops to regain control of the counties in the central and northern areas. However, the Pope's judgment disrupted his overall plan.
Now, Henry VII's biggest task is not to pacify the north, but to dig out the body of Edward V. It is best to find it in the Tower of London Palace. In this way, the rumors of his murder can be confirmed, and the crime of Richard III's regicide and the legal basis for Henry VII's rebellion.
Moreover, Henry VII cannot fool around. Because, the observer group that accompanied the Vatican, also represented by France and Scotland. The representatives of both countries stared at the farmers who were digging the land in the Tower of London Palace without blinking, for fear of missing any details...
Originally, Henry VII planned to find two teenage bodies to pretend. However, France and Scotland sent experts to identify corpses. Whether the corpses that had been dead for more than 20 years can be seen at a glance. What's more serious is that they demanded that the corpses dug out under supervision should be counted, and that they could not find two corpses to hand over. Moreover, they asked the old man in detail and determined the height and size of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, before they disappeared, so as to check in detail to avoid being fooled.
In this way, Henry VII was unable to do anything. With the French and Scottish eyes on him, it was really difficult to find a suitable substitute, and he could only dig three feet into the Tower of London.
However, even if Henry VII sent people to dig ten feet of the Tower of London, it would be useless. Because the bodies of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, were built into the wall... They had already found the wrong direction and were destined to have no results...
