Chapter 667： Which is better

Marin was surprised that Edward's family moved to their own camp without too many guards. Although she also suggested Edward, but the other party really moved in, he was also a little puzzled. After all, Edward is not the chick who had just been rescued from the Tower of London. He would not believe others so easily.

So, while drinking at night, taking the opportunity of being half drunk and half awake, Marin asked tentatively:

"Your Majesty, why did you really come to my camp? York City is gone?"

Edward said bitterly:

"I do n’t want it either, **** Henry, after defeating the French, deliberately told the French that I disclosed the information of the French to them. If my gang of French soldiers knew it, I would n’t take it apart. ? "Edward Manchester United said bitterly.

"Is the information reliable?" Marin asked with a straight face.

"Of course reliable!" Edward said without hesitation.

Marin knows it-this must be the intelligence of Edward ’s sister Sister Margaret ...

However, after thinking about it, Marin became happy:

"Ha, if that's the case, my suspicions will be eluted! In this way, Louis XII will not doubt me!"

Edward immediately complained:

"You're not suspiced, but I'm miserable! As a result, Louis XII couldn't even think of eating me?"

Marin said indifferently:

"Your Majesty, you will become the king of England in the future. As a king of England, you are born and France is a rival, what are you worried about?"

Edward nodded, but soon shook his head again, saying:

"This is not false, but the timing is wrong. I now have seven or eight thousand French soldiers under their control. Originally, they were a powerful help for me to attack the tyrant of Henry. But if the French misunderstand me, then they will Be my rival. Even, it might help Henry to attack me. Since they are all rival rivals, Louis XII must have hated me as a possible 'traitor ...'

After listening, Marin nodded and agreed. It seems that Edward has indeed grown a lot over the years. Unlike when I first came out of the Tower of London, it was just a little white. After thinking about it, Marin said:

"Although I did this, I can never admit it. You know, Your Majesty, my Grand Duchy of the North Sea is on land. And France is the number one powerhouse in the European Army. If Louis XII angered me, my The Grand Duchy of the North Sea is over. Moreover, this was actually done for the sake of England. After all, if the French forces really came to the British Isles and wanted to drive them away, it would be difficult. Even, I It would be suspected that the French wanted to annex England. "

Edward sipped his red wine and nodded:

"Yes, I am sure that the French have the ambition to annex England. After all, for more than a hundred years, the King of England has claimed to be the King of France, and the King of France has also claimed to be the King of England. To be honest, I am not afraid to offend the French. But, The timing is wrong. If I had already occupied London, I would n’t even care about killing the seven or eight thousand French soldiers. But at this juncture, it was easy to make the French army our enemy! "

"Otherwise, my army entered York City, and then, at night, attacked the French and killed them all?" Marin suggested.

Edward shook his head and said:

"No, it would be nice if I could continue to use that French army against Henry now. So, in the dog-to-dog fight, I won't feel distressed if they lose!"

After listening, Marin held his chin and casually said:

"Well, I ’ll give you a solution ..."

...

Ten minutes later, Marin suddenly awakened and asked:

"Your Majesty, did your guards take leave to go home after logging in to England?"

"What do you mean?" Edward was puzzled.

Marin said confidently:

"You think about if you go home to see your family ..."

Most of Edward's men are French, and the other are German mercenaries. But many people who opposed Henry VII followed Edward. They were the remnants of the York family or the enemies of Henry VII. At the beginning, they were all in exile in France. When Edward was in exile in France, these people gathered around Edward. Of course, many are civilian officials, not all combatants. There are also many people who are guards of Edward. After all, Edward believes more in his compatriots than those who are apparently sent by Louis XII. There are dozens of people in exile in England who serve as guards for Edward.

After thinking about it, Edward said:

"When I was in Chester, I had no intention of going south to fight immediately. At that time, there were indeed several guards who asked me for leave and said they wanted to go home and see ...

"That's great!" Marin snapped the table and said excitedly.

"Why?" Edward was puzzled.

So, Marin told Edward a story--

The protagonist of the story is Cao Mengde. When this merchandise was sought for a prince named Yuan Shu, 170,000 troops were short of food ...

"What? 170,000 troops? Are you kidding?" Edward was startled.

"The 170,000 army is not fictitious. In that country in the East, you can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops at will."

Edward listened straight:

"The 170,000 army, the grain and grass alone can drag the great monarch like the French king ..."

"There is no shortage of food in the East!" Marin said, but did not tell the East why the grain output is higher than Europe-that is a technical topic and a secret.

Of course, this is not true. Ancient Chinese agricultural technology was indeed much more advanced than Europe, but grain output was also limited. During the war, the army's food was often forcibly taken from the people. As a result, people were looted even if they planted food during the war, and eventually the tragic death of starvation will inevitably end. Therefore, in times of chaos, the population will plummet.

Marin then described-

Seeing that because of the lack of food, the military heart floated, and a little carelessness, it would cause mutiny ... So, Cao Mengde came up with a poison plan-borrow the grain and use it for the head ... Then, the unlucky man named Wang Yao urged the food The Cangguan was killed by Cao Mengde ... Cao Mengde showed Wang Nao's head to the public, and deceived the soldiers to say-this greedy military food has been killed by me ... Then, the military heart stabilized ...

"However, after killing the quartermaster named" wanghou ", the 170,000 army is still short of food ..." Edward said puzzled.

"Whether he is right, you are right. But those soldiers don't understand. They thought that if Wang Yao was killed, there would be no shortage of food! And their grievances would disappear and they would not change again ... Injustice is the head, and debt is the main. As long as the responsible person is found and punished, everyone's resentment can be eliminated ... "

Edward nodded and said:

"Understood, are you saying that I would" borrow "a head of a bodyguard who came home to visit relatives to calm down the French anger?"

"That ’s right, that ’s what I meant. Especially when the relative ’s family blamed him in the south, he was said to be a spy sent by Henry VII, who leaked the plan and caused the French army to lose. In this way, the French Warriors will not resent you ... "

"Understood ..." Edward began to look down and remember ...

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said:

"I remembered that I had a guard called Allen, whose home was in Worcestershire to the south. Before, when our army was stationed in Chestershire, this guy went home to visit relatives. And, this person is not me 'S absolute closeness ... "

Marin nodded—very well, Beibeixia had already found it. Here is the moment to move the knife ...

The next day, Marin took 5,000 soldiers and accompanied Edward back to York City. After returning to York City, Edward immediately ordered the arrest of Allen, the bodyguard, and asked in front of many French officers:

"Allen, why do you betray me?" Edward's expression hated the iron and steel. Marin thumbs up in the dark-good acting ...

Originally, both Marin and Edward thought that Allen would be sullen, and then they would click on him while the Allen guard wasn't responding, causing the established facts. But what the two did not expect was that the guard Alan was actually scared and whispered:

"Your Majesty ... how do you know?"

"What?" This time it was Marin and Edward's face that were dumbfounded. I just wanted to find a scapegoat, but I didn't expect to catch a spy ...

But Marin reacted quickly—to find an Allen, although it must have betrayed Edward, but to confess so easily, he should still be a novice. Moreover, this kind of frustration will not really know Edward's real plan.

Marin was right. When Allen came home to visit relatives, he happened to be caught by the men of Henry VII who went to the countryside for food. Then, Alan ~ www.novelhall.com ~ who couldn't stand the severe torture told some secrets of Edward's army. However, because he is not a close friend of Edward, naturally he does not know the real secret. For example, he does not know the existence of Marin ’s army.

Later, the officers of Henry VII hijacked Allen's family and forced Allen to return to Edward to continue as a spy to provide intelligence for Henry VII's army. Unexpectedly, not long after I came back, I was pulled out by Edward ... and, unfortunately, it was purely an accident ...

Marin felt that it was enough. If they continue to interrogate, it may not be the result they want. So, after making a glance at Edward's beloved bodyguard Kayla, Kayla raised his knife angrily and cut it:

"You bastard, let you betray your majesty!"

Then Allen was hacked to death ...

In the end, Edward told the French officers who were not aware of it in a painful tone-they all blamed this fellow, and in the name of returning home to visit relatives, leaked our army plan to the false king Henry. Then Henry made preparations and transferred all the fleets on the Irish Sea to the English Channel, defeating the French fleet ...

The French officers saw Alan admitted that he had leaked information, so he had to believe it. Moreover, they do not know how much France lost in this naval battle. If they knew that the French army was almost wiped out, it is estimated that they would not be able to resist the whip corpse of Allen ...

Three days later, with the intentional omission of Henry VII, the French messenger landed from Liverpool, crossed the Benning Mountains, and came to York City to inform the French soldiers of this bad news. Originally, the messenger made the French soldiers and Edward flip their faces. Cute Edward found the guard Alan to bear the pot, but Alan admitted the betrayal on the spot ... So, in the end, the French soldiers did not blame Edward, and decided to help Edward defeat Henry VII, the evil monarch who slaughters the French ...) !!
