The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1708: The Death of Louis XII

France is a rare artillery power in Europe in this era. Before the emergence of Marin, a big bomber from later generations, France had always been the country with the largest number of artillery in Europe. Every time they go to battle, the main force of the French army will carry hundreds of artillery pieces, and there are as few as seventy or eighty pieces. At the beginning, the French relied on artillery bombardment to defeat the English longbowmen and win the Hundred Years' War.

However, Marin, the traverser, is even more ruthless. He came from China in later generations, a country that believed in superstitious firepower. During the war with Yuehou, Huaxia used millions of shells to wash the ground, beating Yuehou so hard that he couldn't hold his head up.

Accepting the baptism of explosive thinking since he was a child, Marin attaches great importance to artillery. Today, the total number of artillery pieces in the Beihai State has several hundred, which is several times that of France.

In fact, because of the iron mold casting method, as long as there is enough gunmetal, Marin can cast as many copper cannons as he wants. Even if it is difficult to cast large-caliber iron cannons, Beihai has cast a lot, mainly for naval guns on warships.

It's just that Marin is very low-key and never shows his cannon. Therefore, no one else knows that Beihai has so many cannons. However, France has always been high-profile and is the most powerful country in Europe. Therefore, the reputation of French artillery is even greater.

Of course, the relationship between the Swiss and the North Sea country is not good. If they want to borrow guns from Marin, Marin will not give it. Therefore, Chigurh could only seek to borrow artillery from the French to bombard those cement fortresses.

It's just that Zieg didn't know that Marin spent a lot of money this time to help the Habsburg family build the fortress, not only using cement, but also using asbestos fibers to make fiber concrete. Although it is not as strong as reinforced concrete, it is also very strong.

Of course, if the Swiss can get heavy artillery, asbestos fiber concrete is really not good enough. However, Chigurh borrowed guns from the French. The French artillery generally has a small caliber, and the largest is generally a three-pound gun. This kind of small cannon can't do anything with asbestos fiber concrete. Moreover, in the westward part of some important fortresses, Marin also provided a batch of steel bars. Reinforced concrete, even the cannons of later generations are difficult to deal with, let alone the smoothbore cannons of this era?

Moreover, when Marin helped the Habsburg family build the fortress, he deliberately built a bastion structure-this is the most shell-resistant structure.

Therefore, Zieg's plan fell through from the very beginning...

But Chieg didn't know, he went to Paris in person, begging to see Louis XII, hoping to borrow 40 cannons to pull down those cement fortresses. And, hopefully, France will provide professional artillery. After all, these days, artillery is a purely "skilled job" and cannot be trained in a few years.

Louis XII is busy making villains right now, so he has no time to pay attention to Chigurh. However, it was a consistent policy of France to support Switzerland against the Habsburgs. So, after thinking about it, he agreed to lend Zieg 25 artillery pieces, including the artillery and ammunition of these artillery pieces,

All provided. After all, Louis XII was absolutely happy to see the Habsburg family in trouble...

...

Chigurh happily returned with 25 small French cannons, while Louis XII continued to be busy making villains...

It was not that Louis XII was lustful, but that King Edward had sent a letter of credence to remind Louis XII that if there was no prince born in France in 1515, Princess Margaret would not consider marrying France. After all, Princess Margaret would not marry a boy more than 10 years younger than herself.

Therefore, Louis XII is very anxious at the moment, anxious to give birth to a prince within this year. In order to give birth to the prince, Louis XII has no time to deal with government affairs these days, and he has no time to find trouble with Marin, but is busy making villains in the backyard of the palace with Queen Anne all day long...

With the help of the fun-giving substances added to the fat brother's food, Louis XII looked quite "brave" and fought day and night. Unfortunately, Louis XII didn't know that Queen Anne under him had already lost her fertility. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't give birth to a prince. Not to mention the prince, the princess is impossible.

Moreover, even if Queen Anne is still fertile, it is unscientific to do it every day! According to the scientific theory of later generations, it is easier for women to conceive only in the 10 days before the birth of each month. The days after the incident were all the legendary "safety period". On days like this, no matter how hard you try, it's useless...

But Louis XII didn't understand. He worked hard day and night for the birth of the prince. Except for the few days when the queen came to take a break, he did business every day at other times. It was extremely hard work.

And Queen Anne is no longer the young and beautiful "niece and daughter-in-law" coveted by Louis XII (Charles VIII was the nephew of Louis XII, and Queen Anne was the queen of Charles VIII). Today, Queen Anne is 37 years old.

In later generations, with magical makeup, women may not look old. But this age...

Even if Anne is the queen, after the age of 30, she will inevitably start to age. In particular, white women age earlier than yellow women.

Today, Queen Anne is no longer youthful and beautiful, and signs of aging such as crow's feet have begun to appear on her face. The most frightening thing is that Queen Anne has become fat...

The once beautiful Queen Anne, nourished by the fat brother's food, began to develop horizontally. The original normal waistline directly turned into a bucket waist. And the face, also began to be covered with flesh...

Double chin or something, but normal operation. The most frightening thing is that when she was sleeping at night, Queen Anne began to snore...

Moreover, a 37-year-old woman is an extremely ferocious age. The so-called tiger wolf refers to women of this age...

However, Louis XII is just a 52-year-old thin old man. Although he was the king of France, Louis XII took care of state affairs and various troubles every day. Although the living conditions are good, the body has always been sub-healthy.

To be honest, Louis XII couldn't hold Queen Anne, who was fat enough to be Jialing, for a long time. But for the romance of the French, Louis XII endured nausea every day, had a candlelight dinner with the queen, and said some nasty love words...

At night, Louis XII was actually quite frightened. To say that Queen Anne is Jia Ling is a bit of a compliment. At least, although Jia Ling has a lot of flesh, his face does not look old. But Queen Anne is not only fat, but also looks old. If there is a reference, it is the Russian aunt...

Facing such an object of making a villain, it's no wonder that Louis XII can do it. Guo Da said it well, "A middle-aged couple kisses, and the nightmare can last for several nights."

Right now, Louis XII is in such a state that he dare not look at Queen Anne when he is doing business...

However, in order to give birth to the most orthodox heir to France, and to peacefully unite the Kingdom of England, the mortal enemy, without a single soldier, Louis XII fought...

Every time, before making a villain with Queen Anne, Louis XII has to cheer himself up:

"For France! For the Prince!"

Then, he could muster up the courage to die generously, and pounce on Queen Anne, who is like a fat aunt...

"Hurry up! Your Majesty!" Queen Anne's fleshy face was full of impatience. If it wasn't for the fact that her husband is a king, she would have already given her a big slap in the face—what the hell? So powerless!

Louis XII was suffering and couldn't tell. In the past two days of early spring cold, he suffered from a bit of cold and was a little weak. However, for the sake of the prince, he had to work hard...

Two minutes later, Louis XII surrendered...

Queen Anne was very dissatisfied. He pushed Louis XII and complained:

"Your Majesty, work hard, for the sake of the prince, for England..." She was embarrassed to say that she wanted to take care of people and geese, so she could only motivate Louis XII in this way...

Louis XII rested for a long time before he recovered. I wanted to end it, but after hearing the queen's encouragement, I rekindled my fighting spirit...

"For France!" Louis XII shouted the slogan and continued to work hard...

It's a pity that he was very weak at this time, and the result of the second shot was that Louis XII was foaming at the mouth of the queen...

But Queen Anne didn't notice the danger, because, in order to avoid seeing Queen Anne's aunt's face clearly, Louis XII deliberately turned off the lights before doing business. Then, he was foaming at the mouth, and Queen Anne didn't find out in time... Moreover, it was not the first time that Louis XII threw himself on her to rest for a while after being exhausted...

Queen Anne didn't realize something was wrong until Louis XII's body began to cool down...

"Your Majesty is dead—" Queen Anne's horrified scream came from the palace...
