.
However, the poisoning of the Spanish Princess Catherine was too significant. If the news leaked out, Marin would not be able to walk around. Why? Because Catherine is the sister of Juana, the daughter-in-law of Emperor Maximilian Shi. If the news leaks, it is not said that Spain will ruin himself, and he will be unlucky in front of Crown Prince Philip.
It's not that the Philip, the prince, can do anything with himself, but that if there is no such thing as this, there is no place for himself ...
After all, Marin is also nominally the earl of Spain. As a result, the poisoning and killing of the Spanish princess is definitely a typical example of a chaotic thief ...
Therefore, Marin emphasized that this operation must be kept secret. In order to keep it secret, he agreed to moore to kill. Even, Marin wants to secretly demand Moore-afterwards, the hands-on killer must be killed or sent out to the UK without leaving any traces.
In addition, if Henry VII really found something, he pushed it on the Scots and helped to create some fake evidence ... Anyway, Scotland and England are feuds, and there is nothing under the pit. Even, Marin believes that even if he didn't do it himself, Henry VII would choose to put the **** bowl on the head of Scotland or the French. Only in this way will the United Kingdom not completely turn against Spain.
Spain is different from France, the French are dry ducks, and Britain can guarantee that the country will not be attacked by France. But Spain is different, but that's the same maritime power as Britain. If it provokes the Spaniards, the British mainland is vulnerable. Because the strength of the Spanish fleet is higher than that of Britain.
Of course, Spain will not really go all out to attack Britain. After all, that was a stupid thing that pleased the French. Therefore, in the end, Britain may announce that the French did it or the Scot did it. Then the two countries reconciled on the surface. Of course, Britain must pay a price ... this is politics ...
The next day, on April 5, Marin finally raised the army and grain and planned to go out. To this end, he also organized an oath meeting before the expedition.
This time, Marin intends to lead 20,000 regular troops and .50 million people, leading some grains and ammunition. At the same time, artillery and ammunition, as well as most of the grain and grass, were sent by the navy to 250 class armed merchant ships and transported to Lübeck city.
Lubeck is a port city. Although it is no longer along the coast, it is also located near the estuary and close to the estuary. It is very convenient to use 0 warships to transport goods in the past.
Moreover, now that Denmark has completely lost its sea power, it is safer to take the sea route to Lübeck.
It stands to reason that the army of Marin is a reinforcement, and Lübeck should be responsible for the food. However, Marin considered that it was unrealistic for Lübeck to make them suddenly gather the food and grass needed by tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time because of insufficient preparation. Therefore, Marin simply let his own ship transport food in the past. Anyway, I have a lot of food.
After the oath meeting, Marin hadn't had time to open up, and Kohler sent a copy of the information:
"Master, intelligence agents found that suspicious people came in the military camp of the Principality of Saxony on the west bank of the Ames!"
"Suspicious?" Marin was puzzled.
"They were obviously sent by George, Duke of Saxony, but when they came to the barracks, they did not stay in the barracks, but ran outside the barracks all day. Some people also tried to run to Aurich, But it was stopped by our people. "
"Then, a few of them ran to the open place of Port Emden and frequented the tavern. When they saw people in soldiers' clothing, they invited people to drink alcohol, and when they drank too much, they inquired about the military ... so, I suspect They are spies sent by the electorate of Saxony ... "Kohler's analytical ability is very good. He believes that this should be the spy sent by the elector of Saxony Frederick III to investigate the military situation of East Friesland. After all, Frederick III was George's cousin, and it was okay to put a few spies to the temporary camp of the Principality of Saxony in East Friesland.
Marin nodded and agreed with Kohler's inference. Indeed, with the power of Frederick III, someone will definitely be sent to oversee the actions of the East Frisians. If not, Marin was surprised.
However, Frederick III underestimated the intelligence capabilities of East Friesland. Their people asked, and the spies under Kohler guessed their intentions. Because there is no military conflict between the people of the Principality of Saxony and Marin, it is impossible to inquire about East Frisian military secrets.
"How should we deal with it? Should we catch them all?" Kohler asked.
Malin thought about it and said:
"It's better to block than sparse, since they can send the first batch of spies, it's not uncommon to send the second batch. Anyway, this group of people has also noticed that if they are caught, the next group of people will be more concealed. So, I plan to send People mislead them and deliberately pass false information on to them! "Marin said confidently. In China, this method is called an anti-countermeasure ...
The anti-countermeasures were widely used in ancient China. The more famous anti-countermeasures were used by Qin and Zhao in the "Changping War". Qin Guo used anti-countermeasures to make Zhao Wang replace Lianpo, Zhao Kuo, and lose Changping Zhi. The battle also lost 400,000 young and strong ...
In addition, Zhou Yu's "Qunying will play with Jiang Qian" and deliberately let Jiang Qian steal fake letters is also a very famous case. And Huang Taiji's removal of Yuan Chonghuan with anti-countermeasures is also a well-known example of anti-countermeasures. In short, the ancient Chinese people had a lot of fun with this matter. Marin also read many similar history, so it is more clear ...
This time, he intends to study the ancient Chinese sages and use the counter-countermeasures to tease the spies of the electorate of Lower Saxony ...
"Right, Kohler, did the Saxon spies find out?"
"No, a few days ago, when the people of the Second Army were stationed in Emden, they shot a few times, but they contacted the bottom soldiers and did not know any secrets. Today, the army of the Second Army is gathered in Ori. Hopefully, Prince Simon and his militia have just arrived in Emden to take over the defense ... Those militiamen arrived in Emden today. It is estimated that they have n’t had time to go out and drink, and the spies ca n’t get in touch ... "
Marin ’s army is divided into three legions—the first legion, the second legion, and the third legion, each of which has ten thousand people. Among them, the Second Army is stationed in East Friesland, the Second Army is stationed in the Principality of Schleswig, and the Third Army is stationed in North Munster.
In order to defeat the enemy's coalition forces, Marin summoned the 2nd and 3rd Legions. The original defense areas of the two legions were handed over to the militias. Among them, the old Hoffman led 5,000 militiamen stationed in the city of Aurich, while Simon led three thousand people in Emden ...
After thinking about it, Marin ordered:
"In this way, you pass my order to Simon, so that he restrains the soldiers and prevents them from going out at will. During this time, try to martial law."
"At the same time, you sent a few spies with good acting skills and good alcohol, disguised as officers, went to get some pubs where Saxon spies often go. Then, pretend to be drunk and tell them false news ..."
"By the way, you let Simon play the banner of the Third Army. It is said that the Third Army took over the local defense. When your spies deliberately revealed false information, they also told them that the Third Army temporarily abandoned Mince. The defense in the special area took over the Second Army to defend the East Frisian natives. And I, with the Second Army and the militias, went to reinforce Lübeck ... "
After Kohler heard it ~ www.novelhall.com ~ nodded, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked:
"If they ask us why we sent troops, how do we respond?"
"Just tell them that our spies found 20,000 mercenaries in Switzerland and were hired by the Brandenburg constituency to attack Lübeck. I brought 10,000 veterans and 10,000 new recruits in the past and it was enough ..."
This reason is very reasonable, Lübeck is an ally of Marin, of course, to save. Obtaining information from Switzerland, only knowing 20,000 Swiss mercenaries, is also a very reasonable explanation. Moreover, 10,000 veterans and 10,000 recruits, together with Lübeck ’s own tall walls and thousands of defenders, are indeed enough to resist 20,000 Swiss mercenaries ...
To this end, Marin ordered the soldiers of the Third Army to withdraw the flag of the Third Army and to hang the flag of the "Fourth Army" that did not exist to confuse the enemy. The Ten Thousand Militia, which is responsible for guarding the homeland, hung the flag of the Third Army ...
After the arrangements were made, Marin stepped on the battle markt, and with the army officially went out ... () "The Rise of the Emperor" only represents the view of the author Taishang Lao Niu.
