The Rise of the European Emperor

phone-reading

Of course, Henry VII was not one to sit still. He has secretly sent people to search the people, looking for a boy who died around 1483. He was about the same age and height as Edward V and Richard, Duke of York. Then, find their bones...

The next step is to bury it in a certain area and wait for "accidental discovery"...

However, he didn't know that Malin, who had read "The Great Song Dynasty Criminal" in his previous life, had long since passed His Majesty the Pope and had taught the Holy See's observer delegation from the East the method of "recognizing relatives by steaming bones and dripping blood". The principle is to steam the excavated bones, and then find the relatives to drip blood on the bones of the steamer. If it is a close relative, the drop of blood should melt into the bone...

As it happens, several of Edward V's sisters are still alive. Just pull a princess over, cut her fingers, and drip blood on the bones to identify.

Therefore, all the preparations of Henry VII were in vain. Even if a corpse with a similar body size is found, once it is verified by steaming the bone and dripping blood, it will be known whether it is true or false. Of course, the premise is that the princesses of Edward IV are not of type O blood...

It is based on this concern that the representatives from the Holy See did not speak out the methods and principles at the beginning. If the blood drips down and melts into the bones, then we need to change the wording... In this way, it can be considered as advancing or retreating...

Anyway, the Holy See appears to be fair, but it has actually stood on the opposite side of Henry VII. Coupled with the fanning of the French and Scots, Henry VII is very difficult to clean up this time...

As long as Henry VII is not clean, then Edward can publicly accuse Henry VII of murdering the monarch, and then he can launch an army to attack him.

Of course, there is also a premise that Marin needs to send a ship to clean up the English ships in the Irish Sea first. Otherwise, Edward and his army will not be able to get through...

The good news is that with the end of the autumn harvest, the Five-Port Alliance dispatched a large number of ships to transport food. There are now fewer English ships on duty in the Irish Sea, making it easier for Marin to eliminate them.

Also, Marin didn't want to actually wipe out the main English navy. why? Afraid of picking peaches in France...

If Marlin was willing to consume gunpowder, it would be no problem to annihilate the main force of the English navy. But the problem is that if the main force of the English fleet is annihilated, the English Channel will not be able to stop the French army from invading England...

And Marin could not send the fleet to block the French fleet, because if Marin sent the fleet to block the French, it would be declaring war on France.

One-on-one against France, although Marin may not win, he will not lose. The problem is that Marin itself has a bad relationship with the German princes. If the German princes also formed a coalition to take advantage of the opportunity of France's massive attack on Marin, then Marin would be over.

So, with no gunpowder in stock to deal with the gang fights all over Europe, Marin wasn't ready to rip off France. It would be the best to be able to sink 1.5 less ships of the Port Alliance.

After all, the Alliance of Five Harbors belongs to England. If Edward wins and kills Henry VII, then the Alliance of Five Harbors does not need to be buried for Henry VII. It's a big deal, turn to Edward...

As long as most of the ships of the Five-Port Alliance are intact, the French will never think of crossing the English Channel and invading England...

...

In addition to the fact that England has to start, Marin has not stopped for the plan of the Principality of Gede...

It is impossible to send someone to infiltrate the court of the Principality of Geddes and steal the correspondence between Charles II, Duke of Geddes and the French. Because Charles II was an old and cunning master, it would be difficult to find such evidence of "treason" from him. In particular, Emperor Maximilian I also announced that "if anyone finds evidence, anyone can beat the Duchy of Geddes", it is strange that Charles II did not hide the evidence to the deepest.

But the French side is different. In the eyes of the French Kingdom, the Principality of Gede is not a strategic partner. Therefore, the correspondence with Gede Corporation is definitely not a high level of confidentiality.

However, Marin did not know exactly where the letters from France and the Principality of Gerd were placed. Therefore, he needs to send someone to inquire.

It is certain that the correspondence with the duchy of Geddes must be kept somewhere in the palace, but it cannot be in the residence of King Louis XII of France. Because the rank of the Duchy of Geddes was not enough for Louis XII to personally keep correspondence with Charles II, Duke of Geddes.

Therefore, Marin conjectured that the correspondence between France and the Principality of Gerd was probably on the side of the Foreign Minister. The foreign minister also works in the forecourt of the palace. So, someone needs to be sent to find out where those letters are.

It just so happened that the fat brother of the Marinist at the Royal Palace in Paris was in the palace and had the opportunity to contact those officials. The foreign secretary may not be able to hook up, but those archivists can still hook up.

How to hook up? Naturally, it's a combination of good wine and good dishes...

The French have always pursued the quality of life, so France is rich in fine wine, and later developed French cuisine. Without demand, there would be no such food and wine. Therefore, good wine and good food can still impress the French.

As a chef that the king and queen of France valued very much, the fat brothers naturally looked down on them. Those big nobles might look down on Brother Fatty, but those palace staff would definitely not dare to look down on Brother Fatty. They are just ordinary errands. Where can there be a fat brother who is valued by the king and his wife?

Moreover, some civil servants of the palace are also very envious of the legendary palace feast. Many people often approach the Fatty Brothers, not to do business with them, but to eat and drink from the Fatty Brothers. After all, these two people are the chefs of the French king, and the food that the average person can't eat at all. Some people even want to get a big meal from the fat brother, so that they can go back and enjoy it or use it to open a restaurant...

Originally, the fat brothers didn't like to pay attention to these people. After all, the brothers also know that these people either want to eat or drink, or want the secret recipe for a big meal, and they are not good people. The fat brothers usually avoid the ordinary cooks in the palace when they cook. For fear of others stealing their lessons, how can they disclose the "secret recipe" to others?

However, after Marin ordered them to inquire about the whereabouts of the letter from the Principality of Gede Company, the fat brothers changed their attitude and began to be willing to entertain ordinary civilians who wanted to eat and drink with good wine and good food.

Because of the attention of the king and his wife, the fat brothers now have their own separate room in the royal kitchen of the palace. There are separate large tables for eating and placing, and do not eat with ordinary cooks.

The lunch at the Royal Palace is provided free of charge to those ministers and civilian staff. Of course, those ministers and civilian staff eat dishes made by ordinary cooks, which are naturally not very tasty. While the fat brothers cook for the king and his wife, the dishes they cook for themselves are also unambiguous. After all, the two are also delicious, otherwise they are not fat.

Therefore, every day at noon, the civil servants who came to the dining hall of the palace to watch the fat brothers eat the most delicious food, while they can only eat the bad food made by ordinary cooks. In this case, there are naturally a lot of people who want to come to the fat man's table to eat...

After accepting Marin's secret order, the fat brothers began to give some civil servants a good look, and invited them to come over to eat and drink. However, the Fatty Brothers are also thieves. The civilian staff they invite are all of the kind who know everything in the palace, and they belong to the "inquiry" type. Only from the mouth of such a person can it be easy to get the answer that the fat brother wants.

Of course, out of prudence, the fat brother would not ask casually, but planned to get the other party drunk before asking. In this way, not only is it easier for the other party to tell the truth, but they also won't remember what Fatty asked them when they wake up.

It's just that at noon, those civilian staff dare not drink too much alcohol. After all, the ministers had to be served in the afternoon. If you get drunk at noon, you have to be killed.

Therefore, the fat brothers deliberately got close to some "inquiring" civilian staff, and even asked them to drink together in the evening. In the evening, you can naturally drink more, and you can find a secluded place to drink together. And when you're drunk, it's convenient for the fat brothers to talk...

In order to support the Fat Brothers cliché, Marin sent them a lot of 40-degree rye Erguotou, so that the Fat Brothers could get those well-informed civil servants drunk. As for the fat brothers themselves, Marin knew that, just like their bodies, they were two barrels of wine. They could drink a lot of alcohol. They didn't worry about getting drunk before getting drunk on others...
