The Rise of the European Emperor

This time on land, Marin actually wanted to tell those arrogant Portuguese a fact-no matter how awesome you are at sea, you always have the flaw of your hometown. In this world, the only one who is not afraid of his hometown being stolen is England, which is lonely overseas.

For other nautical powers, the hometown is often a weakness. For example, Venice, whose hometown is exposed to the threat of Austria. In later generations, Venice was really annexed by Austria for a long time.

The same is true for the Netherlands, don't look at the "sea coachman" who is so good at sea, he is so disgusting. However, the "landlubber" Frenchman sent troops directly to his homeland, and the Dutch immediately GG.

Portugal, like the Netherlands, looks bullish at sea, and its homeland is also a weakness. The Spaniards sent troops to their homeland in 1580 and finally annexed Portugal. Had it not been for Spain's subsequent death, participation in the "Thirty Years War" and defeat, Portugal would have no chance to become independent again.

In fact, in the Atlantic Ocean, the power of Portugal is to surpass that of Spain. After all, the center of gravity of Spanish navigation was in the western Mediterranean Sea, which was the territory of the Kingdom of Aragon. The navigation industry of the Kingdom of Castile was not very developed, and there was only one colony of the Canary Islands.

In the early days, when Portugal faced Spain, they were coquettish during the negotiations and looked down on Spain. But at that time, Marin gave Spain an idea-siege Lisbon if he refused to accept it!

Now Portugal is intimidated. Although they can fight against the sea in the Atlantic Ocean, but facing the threat of Spain on land... they really have nothing to do... So, the Portuguese were forced to agree to Spain to share their India. of interest to the spice trade.

But for other countries that don't border Portugal, the Portuguese still have a psychological advantage-you can't easily besiege Lisbon, I'm afraid of your hammer...

And Marin sent people to make trouble in Silva's territory this time because he wanted to tell the Portuguese-I don't need to send troops to besiege Lisbon, I just want to attack a certain noble's territory. As long as you are not afraid of the territory being destroyed into a mess, then let's hurt each other...

In fact, the destruction of Baron Silva this time is a warning measure. Therefore, Marin did not intend to kill. However, after the destruction is complete, he will have someone send a note to Baron Silva's castle—be careful I touch your son...

This is very scary. You know, because of the backward medical conditions, many European nobles have difficult children. Just like Rui Silva, who has been married for many years and only has a 5-year-old son, staying in the castle of Barony Silva. If the only son is killed, the Silva family will have no future...

It stands to reason that this approach is very unruly and will be collectively rejected by European nobles. But the problem is that Rui Silva's own behavior is also very bad - pretending to be a pirate and robbing other people's ships is also cast aside by the world. Therefore, even if threatened, the Silva family did not dare to make it public, and could only be frightened by themselves.

Of course, Marin would not really touch other people's sons. After all, if he really did this, if the news spread, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to his reputation. Threatening the other party like this is actually mostly scaring the other party.

However, the Silva family did not dare to bet on whether this was a bluff. Because, if they lose the bet, they cannot afford the consequences...

As for the Silva family's revenge after losing the heir... Caesar usually goes out, surrounded by dozens of knights, and there is no way to assassinate him. And the Silva family... Although there are several fief knights under their command,

But they can't appear a few times a year, and Silva Castle will only appear when major events happen. Usually, it is only a few soldiers and servants in the castle who protect the safety of the little master. In the face of assassination, the protection capabilities of the two are not at the same level...

Therefore, when a king competes with a small nobleman, the strength of the two is not at the same level at all, and there is no way to compare them.

Moreover, this is also a principle of doing things that Marin learned in later generations-to minimize the opponent's target range and avoid expanding the strike range.

The reason is very simple, the Huaxia of later generations will definitely be powerless to deal with the old beauty. Don't look at the bullshit when bragging on the news, but usually they are passive counterattacks, rather than daring to provoke Laomei. Because, that's not wise either.

However, if it is aimed at a certain company or individual in Laomei, it will be easy to handle. As long as the power of the country is there, even those leading companies in the United States will bow their heads.

For example, the two giants, Rotten Apple and Little Ruan, must immediately admit defeat in the face of China's dissatisfaction. After all, they still have business.

Even if it's Lockheed Martin, which only deals in weapons, it's not difficult for Huaxia to deal with them—you're awesome, aren't you? But you always have to get your weapon accessories from other companies, so if I limit your suppliers, it's over? I can't fine you, and I can't fine your parts supplier? For example, a little soft is a system supplier, and GE Boeing is also a hardware supplier. As long as you hold up the big stick of fines and target those parts suppliers who sell to Wanwan's weapons, you can actually get your opponent's neck stuck...

In this way, it is still very easy to only target a certain unit or individual in Laomei, as long as the country can pull this off. But if you are not clear-headed and want to confront the whole old beauty, then you are stupid. Because, I can't beat it...

Just like Marin now, it's not that Portugal has no strength, but that he dare not be distracted. After all, the matter with France has not yet come to fruition, so you can't provoke powerful enemies indiscriminately.

However, if I don’t hate the entire Kingdom of Portugal, why not hate you, a fat baron? You are a Portuguese baron, how can you be as powerful as the Grand Duchy of the North Sea? With the power of a country, I will beat you, a baron, and I will win for sure! Moreover, the cost is still low...

In a word-I can't kill the country you are in, but it is quite easy for me to kill you, a person who encourages your country to deal with our country. If you are not afraid of death, just try it...

Of course, if the other party is the sitting prime minister or something bigwig, doing so may anger the country. However, if it is just a magistrate like Rui Silva, then there is no need to be so careful. Moreover, Marin didn't really kill, but frightened the other party.

In addition, in addition to scaring the Silva family, Marin also intends to warn other Portuguese nobles. So, he wrote a note in Latin with his own hand, and there was only one sentence on the note——

"I can't tender your country to death, but I can tender you to death!"

This sentence is full of murderous intent, and the meaning of threat is vivid on the paper. Everyone can feel the deep chill from this sentence. When facing a boss with no bottom line, everyone will feel scared.

However, Marin did not sign it, and Portugal could not use this as evidence to find fault, nor could it attack the mainland of Beihai. Because the Portuguese Army can't beat...

If the two countries are really torn apart, and Marin is willing to be shameless, this sentence is a sword hanging over the head of Portugal's main fighting style. Because the meaning of this sentence is very clear-whoever dares to encourage Portugal to attack the North Sea country may be assassinated!

Usually everyone may be quite disciplined, because everyone is the beneficiary of the rules. It's really going to be a fight, and there are many people with bad rules in history. Just like the many civil strife in England, they are all breaking the rules. If the two countries turn their backs, they may not send someone to assassinate Manuel I, but it is not a problem to kill a few Portuguese ministers...

In this way, those Portuguese ministers will be wary when they express their opinions and intend to attack the North Sea country. As long as they hear about this, they will have scruples. Unless, this head is not afraid of death...
