Marin was almost certain that once Edward successfully became the King of England, Princess Margaret, as her own sister, would definitely become a Quanxiong like Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping, like Princess Margaret, was resourceful, and Princess Taiping also made great efforts in the restoration of Li Tang and the execution of Queen Wei. Similarly, Princess Margaret also made great efforts in the process of Edward's fight for the throne.
It can be imagined that after Edward became the king, he would definitely rely on Princess Margaret's own sister, rather than an outsider Marlin. At that time, Princess Margaret would inevitably become Quan Xiong who infringes on the court and the country like Princess Taiping after Li Dan's restoration.
At that time, Princess Margaret is likely to interfere with the marriage of Edward's daughter Princess Margaret. Perhaps, her son will let her son marry Princess Margaret, because then, the throne will belong to her son.
Even if she doesn't do this, if something happens to her younger brother Edward, then the regent will definitely be Princess Margaret's aunt, who has the status and ability. Marlin may not be able to help her daughter-in-law regent...
Therefore, from the perspective of Marlin's control of England, a female ambitious man with status and ability, who is a identifiable person like Princess Margaret must be eliminated. Otherwise, Marlin would not have thought of seizing the regent in England. Even the marriage between Caesar and Princess Margaret might not be maintained.
Moreover, Marin was worried that Princess Margaret would murder Princess Margaret. Why? Because Edward is the only sister, Princess Margaret, is alive now. If Edward dies and Princess Margaret is also in an accident, then according to the inheritance law, Henry Boll, the eldest son of Princess Margaret, must have inherited the throne.
If Edward died, Princess Margaret was not dead, and Caesar and Princess Margaret were engaged, then for their own interests, Princess Margaret would likely murder her niece for her own son. After all, "Since ancient times, there has been no affection for the family"...
Therefore, no matter which aspect is considered, Marin seems to have the need to get rid of Princess Margaret. It seems that the best way to kill someone with a knife and then kill Princess Margaret by Henry VII...
Of course, for now, this woman is of value. So Marin decided to send someone to Henry VII to inform Princess Margaret later. For this reason, Marin sent his subordinates to ask Princess Margaret for the distribution map of the English army. Princess Margaret has been operating in England for many years, and this information can still be found. In addition to her ability and financial resources to inquire about the information, her husband Richard Poll, who is a general under Henry VII, is not difficult to get such information.
Moreover, Marin also hopes that Princess Margaret can find a group of warriors, who can help open the London gate when her army is at the city, including London...
Of course, Marin would not only count on her. When Princess Margaret was asked to prepare for manpower, Marin would also prepare for manpower of the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce under her command, preparing to open the city walls inside and outside.
Marin's plan was to send his subordinates from the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to sell Princess Margaret to Henry VII. Henry VII was furious and would definitely kill Princess Margaret. Moreover, it is very likely that the news that Princess Margaret was prepared to help open the city gate was also dug out. At that time, Henry VII captured the "insider", so naturally he would not have thought that there was another group of people planning to open the city gate. Without any precautions, the Beihai Chamber of Commerce would easily succeed...
In order to ensure success, Marin has ordered the people of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce to buy several yards near the London gate and dig the basement to hide the ambush and weapons and armor. When the army besieged the city, the people hiding in the basement will replace the plate armor and sword shields, rush to the inside of the city gate, and then open the city gate in the middle of the night...
...
This was a plan on land, and on the ocean, Marin's plan also worked. Just as Marin and Princess Margaret were communicating and planning to plan the food and grass for the British rear camp, in the five major ports in England (Hastings, New Romney, Hayes, Dover, and Sandwich (also known as Sandwich)), the spies sent by Marin had successfully built the so-called "chamber of Commerce Office" and placed some big orders to allow the big merchant ships of the Five Port Alliance (especially the big merchant ships that often serve as warships) to help transport some goods and pay a considerable reward...
As a result, the "Chroniccheological Branch" established by Marin at the terminal of the Five Port Alliance has been successfully established and has gained the trust of most ship owners.
Sometimes, trust is so simple. As long as you complete a business cooperation happily, the other party’s trust in you will be established. Of course, in later generations, this is also a common trick of scammers - first use perfect cooperation once or twice to deceive your trust. The last time, the next big order will deceive you into losing all the internal warehouse (harmoniously)...
However, in this era, this clever trick has not yet appeared. How could the simple British ship owners in the early 16th century have thought that there would be such a bad person? So, they didn't know that they had been plotted against...
Based on the very successful first cooperation, the so-called "people in charge" of the so-called "Italian Chamber of Commerce Branch" or "Dutch Chamber of Commerce Branch" on the port of the Five Ports have gained the trust of most ship owners of the Five Ports Alliance.
This time, these "chamber of commerce branches" placed a big order and asked most of the large merchant ships in the Five Port Alliance to help those chambers of commerce transport a batch of supplies to Italy or the Baltic region - they are all relatively far away places...
Moreover, the "people in charge" of these "chamber of commerce branches" were extremely happy. As soon as the ship owners agreed, they directly offered 30% of the deposit... Such a grand manner attracted great favor from the ship owners of the Five Port Alliance...
In this way, except for a few ships who needed to take turns to Ireland because they needed to take turns, most of the other large merchant ships that were called as warships during wartime received large orders given by the "good credit" "foreign chambers of commerce branches" - the freight costs were 20% higher than ordinary sailing...
However, the other party asked - to ensure safety, you must bring enough sailors to prevent robberies at sea...
As for why this request was made, it was naturally to remove the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron and take away all the sailors in England who could fight...
Those merchant ships are not fixed. Because of the developed shipping, the five ports of Hastings, New Romney, Hayes, Dover, and Sandwich (also known as Sandwich) gather a large number of merchant ships and sailors.
However, for cost considerations, those merchant ships do not usually have a large number of sailors. Because the expenses are too high. Therefore, those ship owners usually only have core figures such as captains, chief mates, navigators, and several close friends who can fight, and can be used as bodyguards sailors.
Most of the other sailors recruited temporarily in the port’s tavern before departure. Those sailors were like temporary hired workers, who usually drank some inferior beer in the port’s tavern and bragged. The port’s tavern seemed to have become a sailor labor market...
Whenever a ship sets off, the owner will come in person or ask the captain to come to the tavern to recruit sailors and boats. Of course, among these temporary hired sailors, there are high-priced veterans (that are those with good navigation skills and good combat) and cheap Xinneng. Those high-priced veterans are often excellent sailors recruited by the English Navy when conquests.
Therefore, Marin asked his men to offer high prices to ask the ship owners to take away the experienced and warlike sailors. In this way, his fleet would be less resistance when it raided the Irish Sea...
It is March now, and it will take about one or two months to go to Italy or the Baltic Sea. It will be just right, and I will come back in May. At that time, the French fleets crossing the strait will encounter these large ships that return with a large number of experienced and warlike sailors...
