Chapter 309： Stealth

Shortly after Henry VII's order was issued, a court guard sent home an information quietly that night, and sent a message to a designated place and handed it to a shop owner who sold food.

And this shop actually belongs to the private property of the Countess of Salisbury, the Margaret Lord of the York family. It can be said that the existence of this grain store is not even known to the husband of Richard Margaret, the husband of Margaret.

Although, Richard Ball has been monitoring the flow of funds at home. However, after Marlin ’s North Sea Chamber of Commerce contacted the Margaret County Lord earlier, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce secretly funded the Margaret County Lord a large sum of money. Moreover, in the grain trade with the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, the Margaret County Master also made a move, withholding a lot of money and concealing the transaction volume. The Beihai Chamber of Commerce, as a food supplier, also actively cooperates with the Margaret County Master.

In this way, the Margaret County Master now has a private income of 100,000 gold coins each year in the grain trade. This money, the Margaret County Lord took most of it, used to buy some key department personnel, in order to obtain all kinds of intelligence of Henry VII's court.

The court guard who had been in rotation today and heard the result of the negotiation between Henry VII and the ministers was smashed down by the Margaret County Lord with 3,000 gold coins.

Moreover, the court guard did not know that the other party was the Margaret Lord and thought it was just an ordinary aristocrat who inquired about the movement of the court. After all, no matter in which country, there are many people who are keen to inquire about the secrets of the court. This is because it is very beneficial to be an official or to do business if you have such information. However, the brother of the guard did not know that the master of Margaret had the information to overthrow the court of Henry VII. Otherwise, he did not have the courage to cooperate with the Margaret Lord. Of course, he did not know that the target of the cooperation was the Margaret Lord.

After receiving the information, the grain shop owner quickly contacted a trusted maid of the Margaret Lord and quietly sent the information to the Margaret Lord

Speaking of it, because of the escape and rebellion of Count Edward, Margaret County Master is now also the key surveillance target of Henry VII. If not for the face of Richard Pol, Henry VII might have killed Margaret Lord.

Therefore, the Margaret County Master is acting very carefully now. At her residence, she really trusted her, that is, two maids and several old loyal servants. Others, whether they were Henry VII or Richard Boer, were monitoring the Margaret Lord.

Fortunately, Lord Margaret is a very scheming woman. Moreover, the contact of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce at the time also taught her a lot about underground work. This knowledge is actually the knowledge of the two knives learned by Marin in his life. But in this era, it is definitely an advanced concept.

Margaret County Master, who was directed by the intelligence personnel of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, is more and more like a qualified female spy. After receiving the information, she was taken aback. She knew very well that if her brother ’s army ran out of food, there was only one way to go. So, she hurriedly sent her maid out, in the name of purchase, in a shop on the street, quietly stuffed the intelligence to the spies of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce

After the Beihai Chamber of Commerce received this information, they also felt it mattered. So, he immediately sent someone to take the boat, headed for Denmark, then turned south, sent to East Friesland, and handed it to Marin

"His-what a vicious strategy!" Seeing the information, Marin sweated.

You know, Count Edward ’s area of ​​control, including the Kingdom of Kings, Kildare, and the McMurray dynasty, has a population of almost 78,000. Counting 10,000 troops, and the citizens of Dublin City, it is estimated to be close to 100,000. If the British destroy all the crops and kill all the livestock, the nearly 100,000 people will fall into a food crisis. Count Edward ’s army was okay, because Marin shipped him 6 million pounds of rye, which would keep Dublin for a long time. However, if 70,000 or 80,000 people outside the city have no food, the entire territory will be chaotic.

Now that the British have just destroyed crops and killed livestock, those honest Irish civilians still don't feel anything. When the British go away and they haven't eaten, they will have serious social problems.

In other words, even if the British left, before leaving, they dug a huge pit for Count Edward. If you do not handle it well, the 10,000-strong army of Earl Edward will be deeply trapped in the seven or eighty thousand hungry people, and there will be no energy to compete with Henry VII for hegemony. Because the hungry people will miss the food in Dublin city. At that time, civil unrest is easy to happen. When the civil strife is over, the British come to clean up the mess, it will be much easier

This doesn't count. The British left Ireland and landed in Liverpool. If the Scots didn't know, the British would move northward. If they were not careful, they could cut off the retreat of Scotland's 10,000 troops. If the Scottish army is cut back, there is only one way to die. After all, the British army has 180,000 troops left. In addition, more than 6,000 of them are powerful longbowmen. If the Scottish army is blocked, it is easy to eliminate the Scottish army.

If Scotland ’s 10,000 army is eliminated, the Kingdom of Scotland is over. As long as the British have eliminated the main force of this Scottish army, they can take advantage of the situation to go north, wipe out the Kingdom of Scotland, and unify Great Britain.

Marin immediately felt the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately dispatched the ship to report to King James IV of Scotland in the name of the "North Sea Chamber of Commerce" to prevent the Scottish army from being blocked by the British army.

Moreover, in the letter, Marin suggested that the Scottish army should abandon the siege of York and go to Liverpool to destroy all the docks in Liverpool port, making it difficult for the British army to land. Then, while turning around to retreat, learn Thomas Stanley's poison scheme, walk all the way, destroy the English crops, and kill the English cattle and sheep

In this way, when the Scots withdraw to their country, basically, the northern areas of England, such as Merseyside, Yorkshire, Durham, Cumbria and Northumberland, will be seriously affected. Famine. This move is definitely a heavy blow to England.

Moreover, in the letter, Marin strongly advised the Scottish army to turn south on the way to the north, scourge Thomas Stanley's feudal Derbyshire, and let this old obscene goods taste the bitter fruit of his own poison

As long as the port of Liverpool is destroyed, the landing of the British army will definitely be delayed. Moreover, now, the British army probably only received orders to start scouring Ireland ~ www.novelhall.com ~ After receiving the order, the Scottish army had enough time to scourge the north of England.

When the northern part of England was ransacked by the Scottish army and had no food to eat, a large number of migrants would appear, and then it would go south, becoming a factor of instability in British society. By that time, Henry VII had a headache.

However, in the scourge of Ireland, Count Edward had a headache. Suddenly, Marin remembered the intelligence details-Henry VII ordered people to monitor the Scottish coastal port, but did not say that the north side of the strait between Ireland and England was blocked. Can I send a boat around Northern Scotland and then quietly send some food to Earl Edward?

In addition, Marin also sent a letter to the intelligence personnel of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in London, instructing them to notify the Margaret Lord and let him kill the court guard who passed the news. Otherwise, it would be easy for someone to follow him and find the head of Margaret County. After all, using this information this time, in turn, to take the army of England, it is easy to cause Henry VII's anger. If the investigation is strictly conducted, the bodyguard must be exposed. If Margaret's intelligence network is exposed, the Margaret Lord will not want to live. It may even be implicated in the North Sea Chamber of Commerce's intelligence organization in London ("The Emperor of the Emperor") only represents the views of the author Taishang Lao Niu.
