Chapter 1722 London Demonstration

The reason why Marin was so anxious was because the North Sea spy reported that not only some of the nobles in England had such ideas, but even Edward himself had such ideas.

Edward had discussed with Queen Anna in private that he considered marrying Princess Margaret to the son of Edward's dead sister, Princess Margaret, the eldest son of Princess Margaret and Richard Boer, and Edward's nephew.

Although he resented his brother-in-law Richard Pole to kill his sister, Edward was pretty good to the children left by his sister Princess Margaret. He married his daughter Margaret to his nephew Henry Pole, which was considered a kiss.

The only thing Edward is probably concerned about is the Treaty of Nantes that he signed. Although Louis XII was dead, Queen Mother Anne had the possibility of giving birth to a child. Moreover, Marin was also eyeing him.

If Marin was an ordinary foreign prince, Edward would probably have resigned. But the problem is that Marin had two 10,000 troops in England, and was very powerful. If he resigned, he would probably force Marin to rebel.

You know, there are only 40,000 regular army in England now, but 20,000 people are under Marin's men. The English nobles may not know that the two legions were subdued by themselves. But in fact, Edward knew very well that those two legions were still Marin's legions. As long as Marin was willing, these two legions would dare to turn against each other. And the two legions directly under Edward's combat effectiveness was not as good as those two legions of Marin's.

Therefore, Edward obviously wanted to marry his daughter to his nephew, but he did not dare to raise it in public, because he was afraid that the two legions would rebel.

...

In order to show off his military power, Marin rebelled against London this time and dispatched 20 500-ton warships and brought 3,000 extremely elite infantrymen. The clothes worn by these elite infantrymen were very interesting, just like they wore when they sent their sister Anne to their brides - most of them were eye-catching etiquette armor made of white iron sheets. However, they were very useful for fitting.

The price of this kind of white iron cut looks very similar to plate armor. However, the thickness is different. However, others only look at the appearance and cannot touch the thickness, so they naturally don’t know that this is a product. Therefore, the three thousand elite soldiers wore the white iron cut "plate armor" and took neat steps, which looked very intimidating. Moreover, the white iron cut has strong reflective ability, which makes the armor look very "obsight".

Marin took Angela and Caesar, and the family of three boarded the warship and began his second visit to London, leaving only his second son William, led by the old Hoffman and his wife, in charge of the palace.

The Beihai Kingdom now has 30 500-ton warships, which can be said to be a very powerful fleet in Western Europe. Most importantly, this fleet mainly uses artillery operations and has advanced tactical ideas. Moreover, the hull is much thicker than the popular Carac sailing ships in Europe now.

However, 10 500-ton warships were escorted by Marin to Japan, and there were only 20 warships at home. This time, in order to show off his strength, Marin also concentrated all warships (armed merchant ships are not warships) and took them to London to show off...

When the huge fleet sailed into the mouth of the Thames, the sails covered the sky and the dark muzzles on the ship were also shocking.

Of course, most of the warships only blocked the Thames estuary and did not dock at the London Pier. Only Marin's ships and several warships carrying 3,000 guards docked at the London Pier.

This time Marin was here to show off his military power, so he was not as kind as last time. Therefore, the dock where Marin's ships docked was not the royal pier beside the Tower of London, but the largest civilian pier in London.

The civilian wharf is wide enough to dock several warships. And that row of long bridge wharf also facilitates the landing of 3,000 guards under Malin.

In order to show enough pomp, the Marin family of three did not get off the ship first, but instead allowed 3,000 guards wearing etiquette armor (white iron tailoring armor) to land first, and sent neat formations on the dock...

Then, Marin took Angela and Caesar, and slowly got off the boat amid the neat cheers of the guards...

Howard, the foreign minister under Edward, looked bitter. He didn't know why Marin, who was approachable last time, suddenly became so particular about the show. How could he know that Marin came to demonstrate on purpose this time, so he naturally paid attention to these things.

So, after getting off the boat, Marin just nodded to Howard, and then boarded the golden four-wheeled carriage prepared by Edward for Marin.

After Marin got on the car, 3,000 North Sea guards surrounded the golden carriage at an extremely fast speed, squeezed away all the coachmen sent by the English and took over the control of the carriage.

Then, the 3,000 guards lined up in an extremely neat line with swords and guns, surrounded by the golden carriage that Marin and his family of three were riding in, and slowly moved towards the Tower of London Palace. Edward's Foreign Minister Howard was squeezed outside in depression...

...

That's not all. When I arrived in front of the Tower of London Palace, suddenly, the commander of the Fourth Legion, Sakala, who was supposed to be stationed in Newcastle, came to join Marin's team with a team of officers on horseback...

Obviously, Sakara also came to make a strong reputation for Marin. Since it was a demonstration, Marin didn't mind telling the English government and opposition a fact-The Fourth Legion was on our side. Anyone with other ideas, think about it first...

Only the Fifth Legion was stationed in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Sivague did not come to join in the fun...

Then Edward stood on the top floor of the palace with a black head, watching Saccarat joining Marin's golden carriage into the Tower of London Palace.

And beside Edward, the ministers' expressions became very unnatural. Because they realized that Sakala was still the same Sakala, and was not attracted by His Majesty Edward, but was still loyal to Marin...

This is absolutely awful news for the ministers who are unhappy with the foreign monarch marrying Princess Margaret…

...

Of course, Marin still gave Edward a face. In front of the gate of the Tower of London Palace, 3,000 North Sea Guards stopped and did not follow them into the palace. After all, they were visiting soldiers, so it would be good to enter London. If they entered the palace again, it would be a slap in the face. If it were in the East, it would be considered a treason. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, visiting soldiers were not allowed to enter the city...

Marin's 3,000 soldiers actually entered the city of London without Edward's approval.

Foreign Minister Howard once wanted to stop him, so he only let hundreds of people protect Marin into the city. Unfortunately, Howard was excluded from the crowd by Marin's guards and could not talk to Marin.

The English soldiers guarding the city gate were also frightened by the momentum of Marin's 3,000 guards, and they forgot to stop them from entering the city...

When Marin arrived at the Tower of London Palace with 3,000 people, Edward was even afraid that Marin would lead people to the palace directly...

Fortunately, Edward knew that Marin was a more law-abiding person, so he did not order to attack Marin's guards. Otherwise, things would be a big deal.
