Chapter 595： Depressed Henry 7

phone-reading

After all, the Kingdom of Malacca is a backward country, and the army's combat effectiveness is also very poor. Therefore, Malin does not think that the Kingdom of Malacca can resist the Portuguese for too long. It may be able to withstand a few years, but as long as the Portuguese are ruthless, Malacca will eventually fall.

Marin's move is only to delay the pace of Portugal's eastward advance. By the time the Portuguese won the Kingdom of Malacca, Marin had already established a foothold in Daming.

In fact, the fall of the Malacca Kingdom has had a great impact on Portugal. Historically, nine years after the Portuguese captured Malacca, Prince Malacca Prince Bintang sent envoys to Beijing to seek help from Daming. It's a pity that the militant Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was just sick at the time, unable to ignore the matter. Those literary ministers opposed to sending troops across the ocean.

However, these ministers made a decision, a decision that had a great influence on the Portuguese-the Portuguese were not allowed to pay tribute, and the Portuguese envoy Pires was detained, demanding that the Portuguese withdraw from the Malacca kingdom.

Although this decision is absurd, it has the consequence that the Portuguese cannot legally trade with Daming.

Until 1557, Portuguese talents thought of a vicious trick-by deceiving and bribing local officials, they obtained the right to do business in Macau. However, this delay has delayed the Portuguese for more than two decades. During this period, the Portuguese could only obtain a small amount of silk and porcelain by smuggling. During this period, they also tried to attack Daming, but were repelled. After discovering that Daming was not easy to provoke, he changed his way in 1557 and bribed local officials to obtain the small stronghold of Macau.

Therefore, the Malacca Kingdom not only has an important geographical location, but also has a huge influence on the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal.

Therefore, Marin intends to ask Columbus to remind the King of Malacca Kingdom-if anything, find Daming ...

Historically, 9 years after the kingdom of Malacca was destroyed, it was stupid enough to think of going to the Ming Dynasty for help. As long as the Malacca Kingdom (known as the Manchurian Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty) was destroyed by the Portuguese, they asked Daming for help. In the spirit of being responsible for the younger brother, the Ming Dynasty must have responded. Whether declaring war on Portugal or not allowing Portugal to tribute, as in the original history, will deteriorate the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese. The Portuguese certainly refused to give up the fat they swallowed. Therefore, the demise of the Malacca Kingdom will be the cause of the deterioration of relations between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal.

The Ming Dynasty did not accept the Portuguese, and Marin stepped forward to shoot horses. Then, the interests of Daming's trade will be dominated by Marin. The Portuguese can only rely on smuggling to drink some soup. Who told them to dare to annex the Ming dynasty?

In addition, Marin did not intend to present the Hongyi cannon to the Ming dynasty this time, but intended to present the most popular rear-mounted Franconian copper gun currently in Europe. It is not that Marin blocked the Ming Dynasty's technology, but because if Marin first cast iron guns, then the news is likely to be learned by the Portuguese. After all, the Portuguese know how to bribe and buy news.

Therefore, Marin's first tribute to Daming will be a group of matchlock guns and Fron machine guns. Moreover, this is just the first bauble. The real killer is sweet potatoes. This achievement was the killer of the so-called prosperous age of Manchu, and Malin planned to use it in exchange for stable trade qualifications.

For an agricultural country, sweet potatoes are definitely a nuclear weapon-level killer. Is it shocking that the yield per mu is more than ten times that of wheat?

Moreover, sweet potatoes are also delicious. Whether it is roasted sweet potatoes or fans of sweet potato flour, they are delicious. Marin does not mind sending the trained chefs to the emperors and ministers of Daming, to show what delicious roasted sweet potatoes and duck blood fans, beef fans ...

In the Royal Palace of the Tower of London, Henry VII stood in the courtyard with a somber face, watching a large group of farmers digging the land in the Royal Palace. Since Edward's successful appeal to the Holy See, Henry VII has become a suspect of the prince.

Although everyone in England knew that Richard III had murdered Edward V and Duke of York, the question was-what about the body?

Without a body, who can prove that Richard III killed Edward V and Duke of York? Maybe, they are really missing?

The judgment of Pope Julius II, Henry VII can not fault. Indeed, without the bodies of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, it is impossible to prove that Richard III was a prince. It is impossible to prove that Richard III was a monarch killer, then Henry VII himself became a monarch killer. Even if he married Edward IV ’s daughter, it ’s useless. The king ’s killer, the guilty one, marries anyone. Besides, the York family and Edward, the male heir, are still alive, and it is not yet the Princess ’turn. After all, if it is not possible to prove that Richard III was a prince, Edward is a legitimate heir. Because when Richard III reigned, after the death of his son, he once appointed Prince Edward, the Earl of Warwick ...

Although Richard III later replaced Count Lincoln, the son of Elizabeth, the elder sister of York, as the crown prince, that was unreasonable. Because Earl Lincoln is not a member of the York family. According to the law, Edward is the authentic heir. As a result, Henry VII was very afraid of Edward, shut him for more than ten years, and finally cut him, but he did not move the Earl Lincoln. Because Richard III made Count Lincoln the crown prince, belonging to chaos, and one of the reasons for his betrayal ...

It's just that Richard III had murdered Edward V and Duke of York more than twenty years ago. At the beginning, Henry VII was not found, but after traversing the Tower of London, he did not find the body of Edward V.

Originally, this matter has passed. After all, who is okay with a failed dead man? But now, Edward, the Earl of Warwick, escaped and became independent of Edward VI, making Henry VII in flames.

It's just that Malin's poison plan has messed up counties in northern England and even counties in central England. Now, Sir Richard Ball ’s army has left 10,000 people in the central region to maintain law and order and to guard against the refugees.

After more than a year of recovery, and this year ’s autumn harvest, the rich counties in southern England have achieved a bumper harvest. Henry VII originally planned to send troops to regain control of the central and northern counties. The verdict disrupted his overall plan.

Now, Henry VII ’s biggest task is not to calm the north, but to dig out the body of Edward V. It is best found in the Tower of London. In this way, it can also confirm the rumors of its killing, so as to determine the crime of killing Richard III, and also find a legal basis for the rebellion of Henry VII.

Moreover, Henry VII cannot be fooled casually. Because, accompanied by the Observer Mission of the Holy See, there are also representatives of France and Scotland. The representatives of the two countries stared at the farmers who were digging the land in the Tower of London palace without blinking, for fear of missing details ...

Originally, Henry VII planned to find the bodies of two teenagers to pretend to be. However, France and Scotland sent experts to screen the bones. Whether the dead bones have been dead for more than 20 years can be seen at a glance. What's more terrible is that they require that the bones dug up under supervision be counted, and they can't just find two bones to make a mess. Moreover, they questioned the old man in detail and determined the height and size of Edward V and Duke of York before disappearance, so they could check in detail to avoid being confused.

As a result, Henry VII was difficult to handle. With the French and the Scots staring to death, it was really difficult to find a suitable substitute, and people could only dig three feet in the Tower of London.

But even if Henry VII sent people to dig in the Tower of London, it would be useless. Because the bodies of Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, were built into the wall ... they were originally looking in the wrong direction and were destined to be fruitless ...

So, Henry VII was anxious ... In the end, Henry VII even sent someone to dive into the Thames near the Tower of London to desperately dig up the mud and the big brother, trying to find two qualified bones. But that is futile ...
