The Rise of the European Emperor

It was already dark when the fishing boat sailed out of the Firth of Clyde. After sailing south for a further distance, Queen Margaret suddenly said to Knight Renault:

"Tell the sailors to turn around, let's go to the Atlantic instead of the Irish Sea!"

Knight Renault was a little confused, and Queen Margaret explained:

"Just now we went south, deliberately to let the people on the shore see. When the enemy chases us, they will definitely chase towards the Irish Sea. I will take advantage of the darkness to detour to the Atlantic Ocean. If the enemy chases in the wrong direction, it will be difficult for them to chase us."

After a pause, she said again:

"In addition, I heard that you all came from the Atlantic Ocean. The English Channel should be controlled by English warships, right?"

"Yes, British ships have controlled the English Channel. There are even British ships near the port of Nantes."

"Well, let's make a big circle and land in Bordeaux in the Aquitaine region on the southwestern coast of France!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!" Knight Reynolds called his deputy and asked them to command the kidnapped fishermen and sailors.

...

In the middle of the night, under the light of the stars, the fishing boat sailed into the Atlantic Ocean...

The next morning, the scouts of the Fourth Army followed the clues and also chased Glasgow. However, the news I got was that last night, Queen Margaret forcibly confiscated a fishing boat and went to sea. When I asked for the direction, it seemed to be the direction of the Irish Sea.

After getting the news, the scouts hurriedly sent someone back to report. After Saqqara received the news, he also sent an urgent speedboat back to Newcastle to notify the English fleet to intercept the fishing boat in the Irish Sea. But they didn't know that they were cheated by Queen Margaret...

...

In fact, Queen Margaret is only 19 years old now, and she is a very young woman. But at a young age, she is already a second-married woman who has lost her husband.

Originally, she was just a carefree princess who grew up in the Tower of London Palace. However, in 1503, her father, King Henry VII, married her, who was only 14 years old, to King James IV of Scotland for the sake of the peace of the northern border. However, this did little to improve the tense relationship between England and Scotland. Moreover, because Henry VII gave too little dowry, she was also disgusted by her husband James IV.

Faced with all kinds of setbacks, this carefree girl princess gradually grew up. Among them, her fastest growth period was about after James IV was captured by England the year before last. At that time, because the king was captured and the king's younger brothers died early, in desperation, the leaderless Scottish ministers had no choice but to follow Queen Margaret as their leader.

Against this background, Queen Margaret, who had little contact with government affairs, grew up rapidly. In just over a year, she grew from a little girl who didn't understand government affairs to a strong woman who was proficient in government affairs.

People are different. Some people will lose confidence and even lose the courage to live in the face of a huge disaster. And some people, in the face of disasters, will face the difficulties and grow up quickly.

Apparently, Queen Margaret was the latter. Facing adversity, she grew up quickly and became a qualified strong woman and politician.

Therefore, after her husband James IV was killed, she was able to quickly make the right decision to marry John Stewart and help him ascend the throne.

And after the Fourth Army attacked Edinburgh and broke through the gate of Edinburgh Castle, they quickly made a second decision—abandoning John Stewart, and quietly fleeing the city with a dozen or so French knights with high martial arts skills...

As for why give up John Stewart? Queen Marguerite answered the Knight of Renault thus:

"If both John and I escape, do you think the soldiers guarding the palace will continue to resist? They will surrender immediately. And we were quickly caught up because the enemy discovered the trace in time. Then, John and I They will all be killed!"

"So, I persuaded John to go to the gate of the backyard, encourage the guards, and fight the enemy desperately,

Buy enough time for our escape..." And the stupid John Stewart was really fooled by her. Of course, this is also because John Stewart is not as good as Margot who has lived here for 5 years in Edinburgh Castle Queen Ritter is familiar with it, and she can escape by rope if she doesn't know it.

...

In fact, Queen Margaret originally wanted to escape alone. But considering that she is only a woman, it is difficult to protect herself by running away alone. Therefore, he fooled a dozen or so French knights, including the Renault knight guarding the backyard, and escorted her to escape together. With the escort of these French knights all the way, she could safely arrive in Glasgow port and escape by boat.

In addition, she knew very well that fleeing to France was the most correct choice for her. Because, her identity is very useful to France.

As for what's the use? Quite simply, France can use Queen Margaret's status as the only surviving royal blood of the Tudor dynasty to encourage the remnants of the Tudor dynasty in England to rebel and weaken England.

Edward had played a trick on the French before and wiped out the entire French fleet. Therefore, the French hated Edward very much. King Louis XII of France is absolutely happy to do things that can make Edward unhappy. If it weren't for Louis XII who was still looking forward to giving birth to a son and marrying Edward's only daughter Margaret to realize his dream of annexing England, France would have turned against England long ago.

In fact, the unlucky Louis XII didn't know that Queen Anne had been drugged by Marin and lost her fertility...

Although for this reason, France will not openly break up with England yet. However, Queen Marguerite fled to France, and Louis XII would definitely welcome it. Because, he is not sure whether he can give birth to a son. Therefore, Queen Margaret will inevitably be kept by him as a trump card against England.

Therefore, Queen Margaret can safely seduce those French knights and escort her to France. What? You said that Louis XII gave birth to a son and then married Edward's daughter to complete the annexation of England? Queen Margaret didn't believe it at all...

why? Because the relationship between Britain and France is there! Not to mention whether Louis XII could give birth to a son, even if he did, Edward would probably regret it. Because Britain and France are feuds. Even if Edward is willing, England will not. The two countries have fought a century-old national war and accumulated too many blood debts. At the beginning, the French chose Philip VI as their new monarch because they did not want King Edward III to become their monarch, which triggered a century-long brutal war - the "Hundred Years' War between England and France".

Therefore, Queen Margaret also concluded that even if Louis XII gave birth to a son, England would probably regret it. Therefore, she is safe in exile in France, and will not be given to Edward as a gift by the French. What's more, she also has the title of Queen of Scotland.

Although she abandoned the current Scottish King John Stewart and ran away, who knows except those who ran away with her? At that time, just say that John Stewart took the initiative to let her escape. Anyway, John Stewart is almost dead right now, and there is no proof of his death. As for these French knights, as long as Louis XII issued a gag order, he would never dare to speak nonsense...

Besides, Queen Margaret didn't even feel guilty about abandoning John Stewart. After all, they are a half-way couple with no feelings at all. Moreover, Queen Margaret, who is not yet 19 years old, already has a cold heart that belongs to a politician...
