The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, Edward's pacification of the rebels is a trivial matter, and Marin will not be troubled by it. What troubled Marin was the letter sent by Edward later. In the letter, Edward told Marin that he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the French army going south and the emptiness of the north to send troops to northern France...

The reason why I wrote to Marin was because Edward wanted to use one of Marin's two legions. After all, Edward has no confidence in the English Home Army in his hands. Moreover, he also needs the only elite local army to protect his safety. Therefore, the choice of sending troops is naturally the best to use Marin's corps.

Now Marin was in a dilemma, he was unwilling to send his legion to attack northern France. Although it is said that northern France is empty at this time, it is a good opportunity. However, the risk is also great...

First of all, if the legion under Marin's command is dispatched, Marin will offend the French to death. At this time, the French had nothing to lose in Italy. If they confessed to the Spaniards at this time and ran back to unite with the German princes to hate themselves, they would be miserable.

In addition, Marin tried his best to provoke a war between France and Spain, with the purpose of consuming France and Spain, not to help Spain defeat France. After all, in Marin's eyes, Spain, with its powerful sea power, is more dangerous.

At this time, sending troops to northern France is definitely helping Spain. If France loses miserably and Spain wins completely, that's not what Marin wants to see.

However, Edward was right. A rare opportunity, the main force of the French army has gone south to Italy. Stabbing France in the back at this time is the best opportunity. Before, Edward was unable to take action because of the domestic rebellion. Now that the rebellion has ended dramatically, he can free up his hands, so why not take the opportunity to attack France?

So, Marin didn't know how to reject Edward...

...

In fact, adding obstacles to France has always been England's basic national policy. Since the Hundred Years' War, after losing the continental territory such as the Principality of Aquitaine, England's monarchs have been unconvinced. Therefore, the subsequent monarchs of England all took it as their duty to find fault with France.

Originally in history, after Henry VIII became the king of England, the British army took the opportunity to loot the coastal areas of northern France because the then French king Francois I sent an army south to Italy to fight for hegemony.

However, it was only when Henry VII had the land base of Calais that he could land in northern France smoothly. And Edward did not have the stronghold of Calais, which made it more difficult to harass northern France. But if it is replaced by the North Sea Army to attack northern France, it will be different. After all, Marin's Beihai ** team began to practice wading and landing very early, and did not rely heavily on the pier. It is not impossible to attack northern France.

But Marin felt that the English Army was weak, and launching such an attack was purely thankless. It is impossible for you to really bite off a piece of meat from France. When France reacts, you will definitely be beaten away. So what's the point of such an attack? At most, it is cheap in Spain.

And England is like an ex-girlfriend abandoned by a scumbag, persevering, but there is no way to destroy the "heartbroker", so he can only disgust the other party.

Speaking of it, the reason why France has become strong is thanks to the Hundred Years War launched by England. Before the Hundred Years' War, France was actually similar to Germany, and it was also torn apart. At that time, the King of France only had the right to control Paris and the nearby "Ile de France", and the area under his control was only more than 10,000 square kilometers. Although the other French feudal states have not reached the level of open self-reliance of the German princes, they are really not very kings.

For example, the Principality of Aquitaine inherited by the King of England is larger than the Ile-de-France. Moreover, England had the help of Burgundy and other French youngsters at that time, and some of them had the confidence to fight against the French king.

Even, in the early days of the Hundred Years' War, the British army had the upper hand. Until the later period, the French continued to draw lessons from their failures. Moreover, artillery tactics were also developed to counter England's longbow tactics.

During the Hundred Years' War, the French royal family not only annexed the principality of Aquitaine, England's base, but also took the opportunity to annex the fiefdoms of many French nobles who died in battle. Then, by the end of the Hundred Years' War, the French royal family had already become the top royal family in Europe. And the nobles of France were also seized by the royal family because their strength was difficult to compete with the royal power...

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, England's attack on France is a bit "harmful to others"...

...

However, it is also difficult to get Edward to give up the idea of ​​​​invading northern France. Edward already had grievances against France, especially, this rebellion was provoked by France, which made Edward suffocate. It is really difficult to get it to give up attacking northern France...

For a moment, Marin had the idea of ​​"do I want to get rid of Edward?" But Marin thought about it, and it seems that now is not the time. Because Edward hasn't taken the island of Ireland yet.

This pot was reserved by Marin for Edward. After all, the unification of Ireland, although famous, is also very hateful. My son Caesar is still young, so it would be a little inappropriate for him to unify Ireland. What if the Irish hated Caesar and came to kill him?

Marin Aiko is eager, and feels that it is better to leave this risk to Edward to bear...

"Yes, Ireland!"

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly came up with inspiration...

If Edward wants to give up invading the northern coast of France, he can only divert his attention by asking him to do another important thing. And annexing Ireland is obviously a very good choice...

In fact, the monarchs of England have long had the idea of ​​​​annexing Ireland. Even during the Norman Conquest, England sent troops to the island of Ireland. Therefore, there were several small counties during the Norman Conquest, including the Counties of Kildare, Desmond and Ormond.

However, for England, it seems that seizing the fertile land of France and Scotland, which is also on the British Isle, is more important than conquering Ireland.

The territory of France was seized because France's territory was warmer and fertile, and it was still located in the mainstream of continental Europe (England was a backcountry at that time). Scotland, on the other hand, is more valued and hostile by England because it is also on the British Isle. After all, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

In the absence of Scotland being conquered, England would not seek to seize such "backcountry" as the island of Ireland. In the original history, it was also the Stuart dynasty of Scotland that united England, dispatched a large army, and completely conquered Ireland. It can be seen that for England, the unification of the whole island is the top priority. However, what I didn't expect was that the one who accomplished this in history was actually Scotland...

...

And now, with the help of Marin, Edward has completed the great cause of annexing Scotland. Over the past few years, Scotland has almost been digested. Now, the time is indeed ripe to annex the island of Ireland...

Moreover, now that the French are going south to compete for Italy, they have no time to take care of things in that corner of Ireland, and it is indeed England's opportunity. There is no obstacle to sending troops to Ireland at this time. Because France and Spain, which have the ability to intervene in the unification of England and Ireland, are busy working hard in Italy...

"Okay, just persuade Edward like this!" Marin made up his mind and decided to go to London himself to persuade Edward to annex Ireland. For this reason, he even planned to send troops from the mainland to help conquer the island of Ireland.

I believe that I will help Edward conquer England, and the French will be able to do things in Italy with peace of mind. Then, everything will go back to the track you set...
