Chapter 714 The ship that will sink
After finishing his conversation with Edward, Marlin immediately sent someone to secretly summon the head of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce lurking in London and ordered him to start arranging the chef to sneak into Edward's palace.
After Marin helped Edward capture London this time, only a small number of people from the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were exposed, including those who seized West Gate and crew members of 10 merchant ships. Most of the rest chose to continue lurking until Marin controlled England.
The representatives of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce who were in charge of the lurking, immediately arranged personnel after returning from Marin to keep an eye on the officials sent by Edward to inquire about the famous chefs. At the same time, they sent personnel, disguised as civilians, and deliberately praised the chefs trained by the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in front of the officials sent by Edward to inquire about the famous chefs. Of course, they would also bribe some idle gangsters to help make the chefs famous.
At the same time, Marin also urgently sent real chefs to secretly train the chefs to improve their cooking skills. However, they did not teach them to make any Chinese and French meals. Why? Because they should be local chefs in England. According to principles, it is impossible to understand the way of Chinese and French meals. Otherwise, it will definitely arouse Edward's suspicion. Therefore, they do not know how to eat Chinese and French meals, but in the dark food industry in England, becoming the best dark food is the best choice. In fact, it is to incorporate a little frying technique and make dark foods less terrible, and strive to stand out among a group of dark foodists... and then, waiting to be selected to be an imperial chef...
In fact, Marin originally planned to go back immediately. After all, it was September and the autumn harvest was about to begin, and he had to go back to China to preside over the autumn harvest. But Edward had one more thing to do before he could keep him...
What is this? It is the matter of loading the children of Edward and his cousins into the sea...
Previously, Marin gave Edward the idea of using a glue bonding boat to carry Edward's cousin's children to sea, and then scattered on the English Channel and drowned them. Then, Edward handed over the errand to Marin and asked the shipyard under Marin to be responsible for building such a ship...
Fortunately, just as Marin was waiting anxiously, the beautiful ship finally arrived...
In Hastings Harbor, Marin's shipbuilders came to a secretly built dock here with shipbuilding materials and a lot of glue...
In fact, these shipbuilders had tried many times at Emden Shipyard and finally decided on a glued ship plan. After testing, the glued ship they made would not have any problems within half a day after they went out to sea. Of course, when it arrived in the center of the English Channel, where the wind and waves were strong, the accident rate was very high, and the disintegration rate was 100%.
However, such a ship could not drive to England. Therefore, those shipbuilders had to dismantle the ship, travel to England in a row, and then glue it back together...
Edward IV's three daughters - Princess Cecily of York, Princess Anne of York and Princess Catherine of York, their husbands, because they followed Henry VII, or were from Henry VII's clan, otherwise Henry VII would not have let them marry their sister-in-law... So, in that massacre, the husbands of the three princesses were all killed. The three princesses were also sent to the convent, and together with Princess Bridget of York, who had long been nuns...
But the handling of the children of the three princesses became a problem. After all, the three princesses were all from the York family, and their husbands did not directly participate in the Battle of Bosworth, which was a regicide. Therefore, they could not implicate their children.
However, the children of the three princesses are strictly qualified to inherit the throne and have a high ranking. After all, the three princesses are all daughters of former king Edward IV. If it were not for the current inheritance law that did not recognize the queen, the inheritance ranking of these three princesses may be higher than that of Edward.
In fact, the first queen of England was Jane Gray. Although she had not been queen for a few days and was executed by Mary I, she was indeed the first queen in England. However, that was also the case after the Protestant Reformation. It was still the Catholic era, and the English were not so open. Therefore, the inheritance rights of Edward IV's daughter were not as high as Edward. However, if Edward died, the inheritance of the men among their descendants would be relatively high.
Moreover, their children, especially men, are easily supported by Edward's opposition as hostile monarchs. Richard III and Henry VII are examples of being killed by hostile monarchs...
With these two precedents, how could Edward tolerate the existence of the three cousins' children? But he was not able to directly order the execution. Therefore, letting them die "accidentally" is the best choice...
A few days later, the glue on the glued boat was almost dry. So Edward called several nephews and nieces with affectionate expressions, gave them a lot of money, and allowed them to go into exile overseas and be a rich man...
In fact, the children were very young, after all, their mother was not big. I thought they would be killed by this cruel cousin, but being able to leave England alive would definitely be a good ending. So the children cheered and cheered.
Soon, Edward sent someone to send several children to the dock in Hastings Harbor. The servants of the family where these children were located were accompanied. However, in order to prevent accidents, Edward specially chose poor swimming skills or simply did not return useful servants to avoid these people from saviors at sea...
On the dock, Edward deliberately placed several ships. But except for the glue-bonded ship, several other ships deliberately arranged small and broken ships...
Edward pretended to let them choose themselves, and of course the children chose the new and good boat. Originally, Edward planned to arrange a few sailors for them. But among the children's servants, there were servants who knew a little about controlling the sails. In order to prevent the little masters from being Anhai, the servants refused Edward's arrangement and volunteered to ask themselves and others to escort the little masters to France on the other side. After all, King Louis XII of France was unhappy with Edward, and would definitely take care of several little masters to disgust Edward...
However, in fact, the best port to France is Dover. Because opposite the Port of Dover is the Port of Calais. Moreover, the Strait of Calais is only a few dozen kilometers wide, making it very convenient to cross.
But Edward personally sent them to Port Hastings, and they had no choice. However, it was nothing to cross from Port Hastings. At most, just spend some more time.
Finally, in Edward's deep eyes, the loyal servants brought the gold and silver gifts given by the little masters and Edward onto the beautiful ship made of glue, and began to set sail and sail towards France opposite...
"Oh-I don't want to... But for the sake of the stability of the English throne in the future..." Edward shook his head and left the port. But before leaving, he asked Marin to send a ship to follow from afar to see the effect.
