The death of Louis XII affected not only the form of the Principality of Milan, but also the Kingdom of Naples, and at this time there were subtle changes.

After learning about Louis XII's death, Gonzalo de Cordoba kept digging the ash from Mount Vesuvius and sent it back to the country, while trying to persuade the other party to surrender to Charles III, Duke of Bourbon who was guarding the city of Naples.

Upon hearing the bad news of Louis XII's death, Charles III was also a little broken, and was reluctant to fight, and wanted to surrender and retreat to the land. But his adviser, Charles, the former Duke of Geders and Charles, now Earl of Nantes, firmly opposed surrender.

Charlie believed that the Spaniards were not kind-hearted. Do you know whether the Spaniards would keep their promises and let them retreat safely. Moreover, the French troops in the city of Naples are still strong, and there is also a way to smuggle food along the coast, so there is no need to be afraid at all.

Besides, the volcanic ash in Naples is very important to the rise of France. If you surrender rashly without the permission of the new king, you will definitely be finished when you go back, and you may be jailed by the lord.

So, Charlie insisted on defending Naples, and then waited for the orders from Paris.

After François I ascended the throne, he was extremely imposing in the face of a chaotic ruling. Fortunately, a group of favorite ministers left by Louis XII before posted them in time, flattered them in every way, and tried hard to show their talents.

Just so happened that François I had no foundation in the court, so he accepted these former favorites who were flattering. At least, these favorites from the Louis XII period were still in high positions at this time, which was of great use to him. Before he found a new and reliable favorite, he had to rely on these people.

Then, John Lafite, who was once very popular during the Louis XII period, proposed that because of the importance of volcanic ash, France must guard the city of Naples. Then, after the autumn harvest, a Jedi counterattack...

The paste of François I's head - what kind of volcanic ash?

Obviously, he didn't know that volcanic ash could be used as fertilizer to increase grain production. Then, John Lafite introduced the role of volcanic ash in detail, which allowed the newly ascended François I to know this secret.

François I was not a fool, so he naturally did not allow this great opportunity to rise France to be lost. Therefore, he sent someone to pass a letter to Charles III, Duke of Bourbon, to order that the city of Naples must be kept and wait for the support of the local army.

John Raffie immediately smiled knowingly, because this was the task assigned by Marin to let France continue to fight against the Spanish. Moreover, the current war situation between the two countries is the most beneficial to Marin.

At present, the French only occupied Naples, but lost the most important Mount Vesuvius and cut off the source of the volcanic ash. Although the Spanish occupied the volcanic ash resources of Mount Vesuvius, there were many local mountains and few plains, and the help brought by volcanic ash was limited. If the French in turn gave control of the volcanic, it would be bad. Because France lacked everything, but it was not short of plain arable land. Volcanic ash only helped Spain, but it was like a tiger. Therefore, the current state was the best.

But Marin always feels something is wrong. It seems that if this continues, Spain will benefit too much, which is definitely not a good thing... So, he also needs to consider secretly helping France at the right time and appropriately suppressing Spain, so as not to be too strong.

However, that is the future. As for this year, what Marin needs to do is to take advantage of the French monarch to get enough benefits from France. However, it will not let France collapse.

...

In fact, François I's position as the king of France is not yet firmly in place. Because there is still a kind of expectation in France at this time, which is to expect Queen Anne to give birth to a prince.

Although Louis XII died, before his death, Louis XII made villains with Queen Anne every day. Maybe, although Louis XII died, Queen Anne became pregnant with a prince.

Therefore, at this time, the French nobles did not immediately support François I, but were observing whether Queen Anne was pregnant...

However, it will take some time to see, at least one or two months. So, in the first two months, the crown on François I was actually not reliable. Once Queen Anne showed signs of pregnancy, a large number of French nobles would wait for Queen Anne to give birth. If she gave birth to a boy, there would be fun.

Therefore, before Queen Anne was sure of whether she was pregnant, François I's throne was actually full of uncertainty. He had no foundation. If the great nobles in the court supported the child that Queen Anne might have conceived, his crown would be gone.

Based on this, during the period after ascending the throne, François I was actually full of anxiety, afraid that his mother-in-law would become pregnant and a posthumous child would come. In that way, his throne would be ruined.

Only Marin knew that Queen Anne was actually impossible to get pregnant. But the French didn't know, so the French court was not united at the moment. Because many people were watching, watching whether Queen Anne was pregnant...

Taking advantage of this, Marin arranged for people to start doing something very important - killing...

...

Who is Marin going to kill? Of course, Margaret, the former daughter of the former British King who fled to France, who was the former Scottish queen Tudor.

After the woman ran to France, she "bred" a child named Henry, known as the heir to the Scottish throne and the English throne, which made Marin very upset.

You know, Marin plans to make Caesar the monarch of England and Scotland in the future. The existence of this little boy named Henry is definitely a huge threat. In particular, this child has strong support from France.

Therefore, Marin had to kill the "mother and son" no matter what. However, he didn't know that this little boy named Henry was just a Sibet, and was faked by Margaret of Tudor. The purpose was to use this little boy as a banner and call on the remnants of the Tudor dynasty and the forces in exile in France in Scotland to fight against the current King Edward of England.

In fact, if Louis XII hadn't expected to give birth to a son to unite England by himself, France would have planned to build a large army and support Margaret to counterattack England and Scotland with his fake son.

Now that Louis XII has passed away, France has completely lost the opportunity to marry England. When François I reacted and took control of the situation in France, he would definitely make a big fuss about this "mother and son". After all, this is a good excuse to interfere in British affairs.

But now, the throne of François I has not yet been stabilized, and the government and the country are in chaos in Paris. It is a good opportunity for Marin to take action to kill Margaret of Tudor.

So, Marin asked John/Rafi to perform well and strive to gain the trust of the new king François I. Then, gain a certain amount of authority and transfer the soldiers who protected the "mother and son" to facilitate the assassin sent by Marin. If you miss this chaotic opportunity, when the situation in Paris stabilizes, the chance will be very slim...
