Not to mention how Edward sent someone to contact Maximilian I, nor to mention that Marin secretly drugged Louis XII, Marin was in England, but waited for the commander of the Fourth Legion stationed in Newcastle, and Sevag, the commander of the Fifth Legion stationed in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.

According to the agreement with Edward, Marin publicly took the two into the Tower of London Palace, and at a royal dinner that invited most of the London nobles, Sakala and Sivag made a statement in public, saying that the two legions would fully support Edward in suppressing the rebellion in the country.

The news spread quickly, and then many local forces in England that were ready to move were silenced. Only Wales and Lancashire were still insisting on rebellion because of their deep grudges with Edward and the entry of French troops.

But without any worries, Edward could concentrate his efforts to deal with the rebellion in Wales and Lancashire. Louis XII, who learned the news, did not say anything about it. Although he was angry that Marin stood up to support Edward again, he had no intention of taking the opportunity to overthrow Edward. He just hoped that England would calm down for a while and not affect his march into Italy. It would probably take a long time for Edward to quell the rebellion in Wales and Lancashire. Because Wales is mountainous, which makes it easier for the rebels to hide. Although Lancashire has more plains, there are also mountains in the Pennines in the east. By the time Edward clears the domestic rebellion, the French almost managed to deal with the matter in Italy.

In short, the rebellion in Wales and Lancashire was clearly used by Louis XII to waste England's time. Although it was definitely impossible to defeat Edward, it would definitely last for a long time by relying on hiding from the mountains.

After the banquet, Marin left behind Physician Ma, who was proficient in pediatrics under the name of "caring for possible future daughter-in-law's health", and also left Physician Ma, a translation that knew how to communicate with English people, and had learned Chinese with Sconda. But Marin emphasized from the beginning that this person was only proficient in pediatrics because he was afraid that Edward would ask him to treat infertility.

Doctor Ma was also happy to be idle and pretended to be stupid. Only when Princess Margaret was sick would she show all her skills to deal with it...

Subsequently, Marin took his family to Newcastle for inspection, and then went to Southampton opposite the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Wight for inspection. The Isle of Wight is also Marin's fief, while Southampton is the fief of Schwartz and others, which indirectly falls under the jurisdiction of Marin.

In view of the demand for great navigation, Marin ordered the construction of a shipyard in Southampton to hire English craftsmen to specialize in armed merchant ships and fishing boats.

In fact, from the perspective of cost, it seems more cost-effective to build ships in the Americas. But the problem is that the Americas have abundant wood resources, but lack skilled shipbuilders.

Although Marin dug up shipbuilders from the Ming Dynasty, it would take several batches to transport them to the Americas. Moreover, the habits of those shipbuilders in Ming Dynasty were different from those in Europe. Even if they came to the shipyard in New York, they would probably have to adapt for a long time before they could learn to build European ships.

Moreover, Marin originally planned to let the shipyards in New York make every effort to build 500-ton warships without wasting craftsmen to build any armed merchant ships and fishing boats.

Therefore, Marin planned to place the manufacturing of armed merchant ships and fishing boats in Europe. Mainly, Marin planned to use Europe's sufficient resources for shipbuilding craftsmen.

For example, as a traditional navigator, England has many ships, shipyards and shipbuilders. Marlinson said that the North Sea Kingdom also needs a large number of armed merchant ships and fishing boats, so it is better to manufacture and moor a large number of armed merchant ships and large and medium-sized fishing boats in Southampton, a very excellent freshwater estuary harbor.

At present, Marin has no shortage of money or wood, because he will send people to Norway and Sweden to purchase wood. Now, Marin’s most touching is that he is in urgent need of skilled boatmakers...

In the Beihai, almost all the craftsmen who knew how to build ships were recruited by Marin. Moreover, the experienced shipbuilders brought thousands of apprentices. But it took at least several years for one apprentice to become a master, and Marin couldn't wait. So he started poaching people in other countries.

For example, after using capital means to acquire more than a dozen shipyards in the Amsterdam region of the Netherlands, and deliberately transformed into furniture production and destroyed the shipbuilding industry in Amsterdam, he hired thousands of experienced shipbuilders from more than a dozen shipyards in Amsterdam.

However, Marin was afraid that these boatmakers from the Netherlands would rebel in the future. Therefore, these people were mainly responsible for the manufacturing of fishing boats in the shipyard he ran.

Just in time, Marin vigorously promoted the policy of lending to fishermen to purchase large and medium-sized fishing boats in Beihai Country, which made the demand for fishing boats in Beihai Country very high, and these people came in handy.

In fact, the fishermen of this era were very poor. Before, they did not dare to go deep into the ocean to fish because there were no large ships. At the same time, because there was not enough salt to pickle salted fish, they did not dare to fish too much. Because even if they caught a lot of fish, they did not have enough salt to pickle them into salted fish. For example, Swedish fishermen, because of their lack of salt, invented the extremely stinky "canned stinky herring" that smelled ten feet in the wind...

Marin not only promotes the system of buying fishing boats on official loans in Beihai Country, but also promotes the policy of purchasing salt on credit, making Beihai Country fishermen dare to catch many fish at once, not afraid of not having salt to pickle salted fish. For this reason, the production of salted fish in Beihai Country has soared by more than ten times and can already be used by Quanbei Province. As fishermen borrow more large and medium-sized fishing boats, the production of salted fish in Beihai Country will increase significantly in the future, and may become an important export commodity...

Of course, in addition to providing loans to buy fishing boats and buying salt on credit, Marin also vigorously promoted the "V"-shaped modern trawl and winch with pulleys, which greatly improved the efficiency of fishing.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Today, with the intentional support of Marin, fishermen have become high-income groups and live better than ordinary inland serfs. Because these fishermen can eat meat (fish meat) every meal. Unlike inland serfs, they can only eat Kohler bread with grass bran, and occasionally eat salted fish to improve their lives.

...

Just so happened that Marin planned to rule England in the future. So, he started to make arrangements in England now.

First, he decided to recruit thousands of skilled shipbuilders in England to build a large shipyard in Southampton and build four docks so that four ships can be built together.

Then, he would promote the system of purchasing fishing boats and purchasing salt from credit in the North Sea country within his territory in England. In this way, a large number of English fishermen would be willing to join him.

Of course, Marin's loan was not for nothing. In addition to paying normal interest, Marin also specifically stipulated that a male person in the family of a loan must be sent to serve his fleet, join the navy, or be a sailor on Marin's armed merchant ship...

In this way, Marin can obtain a large number of English sailors and serve himself. England and Germany are different. Only some areas in the northwest and northeast are coastal areas, and there are really not many fishermen.

England is very different. There are many fishermen surrounded by the sea and rely on the sea to eat. As long as Marin's loan-binding policy is implemented, it is no difficulty for Marin to recruit thousands of sailors in England.

When the warships on the Americas really start to explode, England will soon provide tens of thousands of sailors to dominate the ocean and block the English Channel.
