Chapter 802： Start outpost

According to the previous negotiations between the North Sea, the Principality of Cliff and the Habsburg family, although John II, Duke of Cliff, agreed to send troops nominally, he apparently refused to carry the "stolen letter from the Royal Palace of France" Black pot. And Marin's Beihai State did not dare, so the "provider" of the final letter could only be the Habsburg family. After all, the Habsburg family is not afraid of France. Moreover, they and France have already torn their faces because of problems in Burgundy.

However, Maximilian I was also reluctant to bear the notoriety of "sending someone to steal letters from the French royal palace". It was not that he was afraid of France, but that he was unwilling to bear the notoriety of "instructing people to steal in France." This reputation is very disgraceful to a monarch.

Therefore, Maximilian I finally came up with a solution-he claimed that a grand thief named "Pedro" was willing to provide him with a batch of evidence that could prove that the Principality of Geddes colluded with France, and offered a price of 10,000 gold coins . If someone is willing to take over the work of helping the Parson concentration camp, he will pay for the evidence and authorize the princes who are willing to take the soldiers ...

The name Pedro has a very strong Spanish style, and Maximilian I is also a chicken thief. He said this, obviously throwing the black pot at the Spaniard. Spain and France are also rivals. Before that, they also fought in Italy. Therefore, it is reasonable to throw the black pot of such theft to the Spaniards. However, the Spaniards can't refute. Because Maximilian I only pointed out that there is a batch of evidence in the hands of a grand thief named "Pedro", but he did not declare that Pedro was sent from Spain ... He just made a hint, and did not Clearly ...

As a result, things get complicated. Because, Maximilian I clearly hinted that Spain and the Habsburg family are looking for the trouble of the French ...

If there is only the Habsburg family, in this form, there may be German princes standing in line to the French. However, now that the Spanish seem to be involved, things get complicated ...

You know, the Spaniards are not easy to mess with. Previously in Italy, they beat the French. Moreover, the Spanish army is now on the Italian peninsula, not far from the German region. If you stand in a hurry, the Spanish army goes north ... then it's over ...

So, Maximilian I did bluff a lot of people, even Louis XII was so scared that he almost forgot-he almost forgot, to the south, there is a Spain that has beaten France ...

But in fact, at this time, Spain's internal struggle is also endless, and there is no time to manage foreign countries ...

What is fighting in Spain? The main problem is the Kingdom of Castile ...

After the death of Isabella I, Prince Juan rightfully inherited the Castile throne of Isabela I. However, Ferdinand II, king of Aragon, wanted to unite the kingdom of Castile. Therefore, on the grounds that Prince Juan was too young, he asked Prince Juan to accept his "guidance" and the father and son to "co-rule" the Kingdom of Castilla.

Prince Juan listened more to his father, but it didn't matter. However, the great nobles of the Kingdom of Castile were not happy. After all, the prince Juan who has no idea is king, they have a greater right to speak. And if the old fox of Ferdinand II also ruled Castile, they would be suppressed. Therefore, the ministers of the Kingdom of Castile opposed the co-governance of Ferdinand II. Moreover, their reason is very good-co-governance with Queen Isabella I, this is consistent with practice and law. After all, co-governance by husband and wife is indeed reasonable. However, your sons are all grown-up and have inherited the throne. You have to "co-governance", shameless? Moreover, there is no precedent in history ...

Therefore, for the right of "co-governance" of the Kingdom of Castile, Ferdinand II and Castile's nobles and ministers engaged in a fierce internal struggle, which caused Spain to not focus its energy abroad.

However, Ferdinand II did not come out to clarify that outsiders suspected that Spain was involved in a conspiracy against the Habsburg family against France. Because Ferdinand II thinks-it's good to misunderstand, just to scare the French ...

Ferdinand II's acquiescence indeed helped the Habsburgs. Some German princes who originally wanted to take advantage of the Habsburgs' family and planned to stab them in the back. After seeing the powerful Spaniards involved, they flinched back and let the Habsburgs escape. …

You know, the Habsburg family currently puts the main force into the Swiss battlefield. If there were powerful princes stabbing behind the Habsburg family at this time, the Habsburg family really couldn't help it ...

Although it had been negotiated in private for a long time, the Principality of Cliff finally came forward to organize the army to go to the Parson Concentration Camp. However, John II, Duke of Cliff, did not intend to announce the news too early. Because, he planned to give the Principality of Geddes a sudden attack, lest the other party be prepared.

And when everything had not been announced, the 500 Scout cavalry under Sauer's command was dispatched early ...

Under Schwarz's arrangement, the 500 elite scout cavalry under Schall's regiment changed into other countries' clothes and entered the Principality of Brabant quietly. Then, these people will be responsible for finding out the guards scattered outside the Principality of Geddes and quietly pulling out these guards ...

The army of the Principality of Geddes is not a fool, they are naturally prepared for the Habsburg family to really send reinforcements ~ www.novelhall.com ~ So, the other party will inevitably send out whistle and put it on the periphery, so as not to be used by others .

Of course, because I was worried that the Habsburgs would send reinforcements. Therefore, Schwartz concluded that the main direction of the opponent's whistle and defense must be the west direction ...

Therefore, this time Sauer's 500 reconnaissance cavalry is also the first to clean up the guards of the Duchy of Geddes from the west ...

Are you worried that these scout cavalry will be discovered by enemy scouts first? That's impossible ... because Sauer's scout cavalrymen were equipped with telescopes, and the enemy didn't ... Even if the scouts who intercepted the enemy failed, it was difficult to be discovered by the enemy first ... After all, the scouts under Sauer's group The cavalry is more regular than the opponent, and it is also equipped with a reconnaissance weapon like a telescope ...

Therefore, the scouts of the North Sea country generally find the enemy first. Even if there is a mistake, you can rely on the first enemy to find the advantage of the opponent and retreat in advance ...

The reason why Schwartz sent people to clean up the enemy ’s sentry from the west side, in addition to avoiding the enemy ’s discovery of the enemy ’s army, also meant to mislead the enemy against the west side. After all, the enemy sentinel has a limited number of people, and if something goes wrong on the west side, it will definitely give priority to the west direction. In this way, the east and northeast are empty, which is convenient for the attack of the North Sea army ...
