"What, did the Spanish army retreat to the north? It also demolished the city of Marrakech?" Marin was a little shocked when he saw the information sent by the spies sent to Spain sent by Kohler.

According to Marin's plan, Spain should play hide-and-seek with the remnants of the Vatas dynasty all day long, and then spend a lot of money and food. In this way, even if Spain occupied the huge profits in the Indian spice trade, it would be spent on the Moroccan battlefield in vain.

However, Gonzalo de Cordoba, half of Marin's disciple (Marin once taught him the "Malin square" and was half of his teacher), had such courage and was willing to give up southern Morocco and stabilize the northern region first, which surprised Marin. The most important thing is that Ferdinand II and Juan III both agreed...

"It seems that the Spaniards are not stupid either..."

Marin was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to use the Moroccan war to deplete Spain's national strength. As a result, the Spanish were willing to give up the South and concentrate on managing the North first. This was difficult because it would be much less difficult if they just focused on managing the northern part of Morocco, which was close to Spain.

Marin was a little anxious. If Spain could eat the whole of Morocco smoothly, then the Spaniards could free up some other things. If they turned their attention to the Americas again... Marin's current naval strength is not enough to dominate the Americas...

Fortunately, when he saw the last piece of information, Marin became happy...

The last piece of information is that the notorious Inquisition of Spain is eager to control religious affairs in northern Morocco, occupied by Spanish troops...

Who are the people in the Inquisition? That is a group of madmen who are keen on persecuting pagans. Letting them go to Morocco to make trouble will only force the Moroccan Allahs to resist. As long as these people go to northern Morocco, the Moroccan Allahs will definitely rise up and resist. At that time, it will definitely be enough for Spain to have a drink.

But Marin still felt that it was not enough and decided to take action secretly to let the madmen in the Inquisition make things bigger, stimulate the Moroccans to the greatest extent and arouse their resistance.

So Marin ordered Kohler:

"You send spies to bribe the priests of the Spanish Inquisition who took over the religious affairs of Morocco, and encourage them to confiscate the property of the Allahs in Morocco who do not want to convert to Catholicism, and expel those from Morocco or burn them to death!"

Marin's idea was very insidious, and there was no need to worry about the priests of the Inquisition not taking the bait. Why? Because one of them "confiscating the property of the pagans" would attract the priests of the Spanish Inquisition.

Moreover, it was not the first time that the Spanish Inquisition did this. For example, in Spain, the Spanish Inquisition had done the confiscation of wealthy Jews who were unwilling to convert to Catholicism. In 1492, 200,000 Jews with wealth and technology were expelled from the Spanish Inquisition. Of course, the property of those Jews was confiscated. In the end, many of the Jews were taken to Turkey by the Turkish Sultan Basayet II, which promoted the development of Turkish printing and other technologies and promoted cultural progress.

Therefore, they are absolutely familiar with letting the infamous Spanish Inquisition do such a destructive thing that seizes pagan property. Even if Marin does not push it secretly, they will do it. However, after Marin secretly push it, they may be more motivated.

However, it should be noted that the Arabs and Berbers in Morocco are not cowardly and timid Jews, but a group of fierce men who can ride horses and wield scimitars.

The Jews were bullied by Europeans for thousands of years and had long been oppressed and lost the courage to resist. Moreover, everyone in Europe shouted and beaten, and there were almost no supporters. If you want to resist, you will definitely lose.

The Arabs in Morocco are different from the Berbers. They are originally tough nomadic peoples, who can ride horses and use scimitars to chop people.

If they were forcibly robbed of all their property and were expelled from the country, they would definitely not give up. At that time, they would definitely rise up and fight the Spanish to the death. At that time, what Marin had to do was to send horses and scimitars to the unwilling Arabs and Berbers...

However, it seemed inappropriate for Marin to do this. So Marin asked Kohler to repeat the same trick, go to the Venetians and the French, and ask them to secretly support the Moroccans in resistance. Anyway, both countries and the Spanish have a grudge, and they are definitely willing to cause trouble for the Spanish.

Also, Marin would also remind the Venetians and the French to secretly fund the Vatas dynasty, for example, to provide money, food and weapons.

Because Marin heard that the Spaniards did not block the southern coast of Morocco. As long as the Venetians and the French secretly sent ships to the southern coast of Morocco and quietly provided money, food and weapons to the remnants of the Vatas dynasty, the Vatas dynasty would continue to persevere.

Moreover, the weapons needed by the Moroccan cavalry are very simple, and as long as they have scimitars and war horses, they can fight.

Even if the Spaniards want to block the southern coast of Morocco, it is difficult to do it. After all, Spain in this era cannot monitor the entire southern coast without satellites and radars.

Even in later generations with satellites and radars, smuggling in coastal areas is as rampant. After all, just sailing in the middle of the night can easily avoid the blockade of the Spanish fleet.

France is the easiest to secretly support the Vatas dynasty, because France can send ships to the southern coast of Morocco through ports along the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike Venice, if you want to send a ship to the southern coast of Morocco, you need to first pass through the Strait of Gibraltar controlled by the Spanish, and the possibility of being discovered is very high. French ships can travel on the wide Atlantic Ocean. As long as you are careful, the possibility of being discovered is smaller...

As long as the Vatas dynasty can obtain external support, it will not collapse due to the loss of its main financial source. In this way, they can persist for a longer time and continue to cause trouble for the Spaniards...

...

After arranging these things, the time has entered November. At this time, it is late autumn and early winter. There are basically no tropical storms on the oceans in the northern hemisphere. The biggest danger is probably a floating iceberg similar to the one encountered by the Titanic.

However, as long as you don’t recklessly sail at night and observe carefully, the probability of something happening is not high. After all, the floating iceberg is not as powerful as a tropical storm and can be avoided.

Marin now takes a boat and can arrive in Panama at the end of the year. Then, he will take a boat from Panama to cross the Pacific Ocean and arrive at the Ming Dynasty. From Panama to the west to the Ming Empire, it will be in three months. The time period is exactly in spring. Tropical storms such as typhoons in the Western Pacific are mainly from May to September. As long as you set out in time, you can avoid the typhoon season. As long as you don’t encounter a powerful storm like a typhoon, even if you encounter a bigger sea storm, Marin’s 10 warships will definitely not sink. As long as there are 10 warships left, even if the warships Marin are riding in sank, Marin can be rescued on other ships to escape the disaster...
