The Rise of the European Emperor

After finishing the conversation with Edward, Marin immediately sent someone to secretly summon the head of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce who was lurking in London, and ordered him to start the issue of arranging the cook to sneak into Edward's palace.

This time, after Marin helped Edward capture London, only a small number of people from the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were exposed, including those who captured the West Gate and the crew of 10 merchant ships. Most of the others chose to keep lurking until Marin took control of England.

The representative of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of the lurking, after returning from Marin, immediately arranged for the manpower to stare at the officials that Edward sent out to inquire about the famous chef. At the same time, he dispatched people, disguised as civilians, to deliberately praise the chefs trained by the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in front of the officials sent by Edward to inquire about the famous chefs. Of course, he will also buy some idle gangsters to help the cooks to make a name for themselves.

At the same time, Marin also urgently dispatched real chefs to secretly give those chefs special training to improve their cooking skills. However, they were not taught to cook any Chinese and French food. Why? Because they should all be native cooks in England. Logically, it is impossible to understand the practice of Chinese food and French food. Otherwise, Edward's suspicions will surely arouse. Therefore, they don't know Chinese food and French food, but in the dark cooking world of England, it is the best choice to be the best dark cook. In fact, it is to incorporate a little frying technique, make dark cooking less scary, and strive to stand out among a bunch of dark cooks... Then, waiting to be selected into the palace as a royal chef...

In fact, Marin had planned to go back immediately. After all, it's already September, the autumn harvest is about to start, and he has to return to China to preside over the autumn harvest. But Edward had one more thing for him to do before he stayed...

What is this thing? It was the matter of sinking the children of Edward's cousins ​​into the sea...

Earlier, Marin gave Edward the idea of ​​gluing together a boat to carry the children of Edward's cousins ​​out to sea, and then falling apart on the English Channel, drowning them. Then, Edward handed the errand to Marin, and let Marin's shipyard be responsible for building this kind of ship...

Fortunately, just as Marin was anxiously waiting, the beautiful ship finally arrived...

In Port Hastings, Marin's subordinate shipbuilders, with shipbuilding materials and a large amount of glue, came to a secretly built dock...

In fact, this group of shipbuilders had already tried many times at the Emden shipyard, and finally determined a plan for the glued ship. After testing, the glued boat they made will not have an accident within half a day of going to sea. Of course, in the middle of the English Channel, where the wind and waves are strong, the accident rate is very high, and the fall rate is 100%...

However, such a ship is impossible to drive to the UK. So, those shipbuilders had to take the boat apart again, ship it loose across the UK, and glue it back together again...

Three daughters of Edward IV, Princess Cecily of York,

Princess Anne of York and Princess Catherine of York, their husbands, because they followed Henry VII, or they were all of Henry VII's faction, otherwise Henry VII would not let them marry his sister-in-law... So, there In the massacre, the husbands of the three princesses died. The three princesses were also sent to the convent, along with Princess Bridget of York, who had long been a nun...

But the disposal of the children of the three princesses has become a problem. After all, the three princesses are members of the York family, and their husbands did not directly participate in the battle of Bosworth that killed the king. Therefore, their children cannot be implicated.

However, the children of the three princesses, strictly speaking, are all qualified to inherit the throne, and their ranks are very high. After all, all three princesses are daughters of former King Edward IV. If it weren't for the fact that the current law of succession did not recognize the queen, the three princesses might have been higher in the line of succession than Edward.

In fact, the first Queen of England was Jane Grey. Although she didn't become queen for a few days and was executed by Mary I, she was indeed the first queen of England. However, that was also after the Protestant Reformation. It's still a Catholic era, and English people are not so open. Therefore, Edward IV's daughter, the inheritance is not as high as Edward. However, if Edward dies, the males of their descendants will have a higher order of succession.

Moreover, their children, especially males, were easily established as rival monarchs by Edward's opponents. Richard III and Henry VII are examples of being killed by hostile monarchs...

With such two precedents, how could Edward tolerate the existence of the children of three cousins? But he was not good at directly ordering the execution. So, letting them die "accidentally" is the best option...

After a few days, the glue that glued the boat was almost dry. So, Edward graciously called several nephews and nieces over, gave them a lot of money, and allowed them to go into exile and become a rich family...

In fact, several children are very small, after all, their mother is not very big. I thought I would be killed by this brutal cousin, but being able to leave England alive is definitely a good ending. So, several children cheered.

Before long, Edward sent the children to the pier in Hastings Harbour. Along with them were the servants of the families where these children belonged. However, in order to prevent accidents, Edward specially selected poor swimming ability, or simply did not return useful servants, so as to avoid these people being the savior at sea...

On the dock, Edward deliberately placed several boats. But apart from the glued boat, several other boats were deliberately arranged to be small and broken...

Edward pretended to let them choose, and of course the children chose the boat that looked new and good. Originally, Edward planned to arrange a few sailors for them. But among the children's servants, there are servants who know a little about sailing. In order to prevent the little masters from being Anhai arranged by Edward, these servants refused Edward's arrangement and volunteered to ask themselves and others to escort the little masters to France on the other side. After all, King Louis XII of France was not happy with Edward, and would definitely take care of several little masters to disgust Edward...

However, the best port to go to in France is Dover. Because, opposite the port of Dover is the port of Calais. Moreover, the Calais Strait is only a few tens of kilometers wide, making it easy to cross.

But Edward himself sent them to Port Hastings, and there was nothing they could do. Crossing from Port Hastings is fine, though. At most, it just takes a little more time.

In the end, in Edward's eyes full of deep meaning, the loyal servants put the gold and silver property presented by the little masters and Edward onto the beautiful boat made of glue, and began to set sail for the opposite side of France. ...

"Hey—I don't want to... But, for the future stability of the English throne..." Edward shook his head and left the port. But before leaving, he asked Marin to send a boat to follow from a distance to see the effect.

And Marin, of course, sent a small fishing boat to follow from afar, and also brought binoculars to observe whether the children really drowned and whether anyone rescued them. If someone rescues you, you have to find a way to hunt them down...
