Chapter 139

From the Friesland incident, Marin saw the figure of the French. He could conclude that the French wanted to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of themselves. So, while rushing, Marin was much more careful.

Just going home, I brought 100 cavalry guards. Moreover, the horses were not stopping along the way. Even if I stayed, I chose a safe place to make it easier to get on the horse and escape.

After all, Marin could not guarantee whether the nobles along the way would be bribed by the Dharma King. If any nobleman gets angry and brings thousands of soldiers to surround him, he will be unable to fly.

Fortunately, Malin's team is equipped with one person and two horses, and it can be relatively unstoppable. Generally, even if his whereabouts are discovered, it is too late to gather troops to intercept him.

Moreover, Marin also brought Saul with him equipped with a telescope. When encountering complex terrain, as long as Saul climbs up to a height and uses the telescope, you can see if there is an ambush.

In fact, Marin was too careful. In fact, Charles VIII was not very interested in finding Marin at this time. Because he and Anne of Brittany, Francis, was born a few days ago (July 1497), but died a few hours after his birth.

In fact, Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany had five children, but they both died. The one who lived the longest was only 3 years old.

Charles VIII was hit hard, and even temporarily lost interest in expanding to Italy, and also temporarily lost interest in revenge on Marin.

Because, in the Valois dynasty in France, only Charles VIII was left as a male leader. If Charles VIII had no heir, then the throne would have to be passed on to the sidelines of the Valois dynasty.

Therefore, Charles VIII is currently focusing on making offspring. Not long after Queen Anne gave birth, Charles VIII savagely demanded to continue creating people, completely ignoring that Queen Anne's body has not recovered...

In fact, Charles VIII did not understand medicine. Queen Anne gave birth many times and did not receive good cultivation, and her body was already very weak. Therefore, the children of the eldest son were very weak when they were born and difficult to survive.

If Charles VIII had a little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, he would stop having sex with Anne in the future, first recuperate Queen Anne's body, and then plan to create offspring.

But Charles VIII was anxious at this time. Shortly after Queen Anne gave birth, the wound below had not completely healed, so he had sex with Queen Anne again. It seemed that as long as the number of times was too many, he would definitely give birth to offspring, and he did not consider Queen Anne's body at all.

In fact, this time Queen Anne was indeed pregnant again, but she still died after birth...

When his subordinates told Charles VIII that the Duke of Saxony had occupied Friesland, Charles VIII first made a fire for a while. But then, he forgot Friesland and even Marin for a moment. Because, in his opinion, giving birth to a surviving heir was the most important thing at the moment.

But Marin didn't know, just like a frightened bird. Every night when sleeping, he arranged more than a dozen secret whistles to take turns to stay at night to prevent him from being surrounded by night attacks.

In this way, two days later, Marin led the team back to Hoffman Manor on the banks of the Ruhr and met his family...

"Ha, Marin is back!" Adler, who had just finished his swordsmanship training, came to hug Marin despite his stinking sweat. Marin immediately dodged away and asked Kahn to take over. The barbarian bears were against the barbarian bears, and the two big barbarian bears hugged each other.

The two muscular men hugged each other very disgustedly, and immediately separated...

Then, the old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary, who pretended to be reserved, walked out...

Old Hoffman said to Marin with his hands behind his back, looking like "instructing the country":

"Well, boy, I'm doing a good job. Being able to defeat a vassal state with a baron is very good at my youth..."

"Puchi--" Adler couldn't help laughing, and Marin also held back.

Then, Adler got a harsh kick in the butt...

In fact, the whole family admired Marin's decision at the time. Because, at that time, Texel Island, which had only a thousand new recruits, was unlikely to beat the Friesian noble Republic. The best result was to surrender and seek peace and then pay a sum of money.

But Marin was very decisive. In a short period of time, he thought of a way to hire Swiss mercenaries, and brought a group of Swiss mercenaries to return to the rescue quickly, and defeated the main force of the Friesian Noble Republic in one battle. Then, he forced the Friesian Noble Republic to cede several islands, which more than doubled Marin's territory.

But what puzzled the outside world was that the Swiss mercenaries, who had always had good credit, suddenly withdrew their troops and no longer helped Marin fight. Otherwise, Marin could even destroy the small country of Friesland.

"Oh, it's a pity. If those Swiss guys didn't break the contract, maybe I'd already occupied the entire territory of Friesland by now. You know, that's a land of unlimitedness. If they occupy that place, maybe I could still be an earl..." Marin was also a little moved.

Little did he know that his feelings were extremely pretentious in the eyes of others. Although the actual situation was exactly what Marin said, in the eyes of others, it was God's blessing that Marin could defeat Friesland and obtain several islands. Even members of the Hoffman family did not dare to think that Marin could obtain the entire Friesland. In their opinion, if Marin could win, it was God's appearance.

When she heard that Marin was back, Simon and Albert two monkeys jumped over immediately. Then, Anne also came to join in the fun...

"Brother Marin is back? Where is the gift?" The three little ghosts all extended their hands...

Marin's head was full of black lines and was very depressed. In love, these three little ghosts did not welcome him home, but welcomed gifts...

But Ma Lin didn't expect to prepare a gift. In desperation, Ma Tuhao had to take out a handful of gold coins and stuff it to his younger brother and sister...

Then, Marin solemnly invited the whole family to go on vacation to Denburg Castle on his island of Texel...

It was midsummer, and the inland areas of Germany were still a little hot. Although it was not like China, the summer had a high temperature of more than 30 degrees, the highest temperature was 30 degrees.

As the island of Texel in Marin is an island, the highest temperature is only 26 or 7 degrees, and the sea breeze is blowing, which is very comfortable and is an ideal place to spend the summer.

Marin described the pleasant climate on Texel Island in summer to his family in detail, and then recommended various fresh seafood to his younger brothers and sisters...

Under Marin's description, the three little guys began to drool down. Usually, they had eaten seafood, but they were basically salty fish with a stinky smell. It was impossible for the family to taste fresh seafood.

So, for Marin's description, let alone the three little guys, even adults yearn for it. Think about the hot summer, on the beach of Texel Island, holding up parasols, blowing the sea breeze, and eating fresh seafood...

Well, the three little guys began to jump and strongly demanded to spend the summer at Marin's Castle. Adler and his newlywed wife Liv also nodded in agreement. Mrs. Mary also wanted to see where her second son lived, and then nodded in agreement. Only Old Hoffman, for the sake of face, pretended to think for a while, and then nodded in agreement "reluctantly" as if he agreed to give Marin a big face...

Then, the whole family began to clean up and prepared to set out to Texel Island.

However, Marin considered that among the family members, Marin, Adler and the Old Hoffman were fine, but Mrs. Mary and the three little guys were not suitable for riding horses. If you choose a carriage, the road of this era will be a big deal. For Mrs. Mary and the three little guys, it is really not a fun thing.

After thinking about it, Marin decided to send someone to the Wiggins Chamber of Commerce to hire a boat to take his family to Texel Island. He himself rode his horse back on the same road with his subordinates. In addition, Marin would also leave 30 guards with him to protect his family's safety.
