Chapter 1003： Queen Margaret's Decision (Part 1)

Full of anger, Saqqara came to the backyard of Edinburgh Castle to interrogate the ladies. It turned out that, before dawn, the queen took a dozen French knights from the residential area and retreated to the northwest corner of the city. Poor John Stewart didn't know about it. Because, he took someone to guard the backyard gate.

"What? She has been running for most of the day?" Saqqara was filled with despair. If you just ran, maybe you can still catch up. However, the other party has been running for most of the day and doesn't know the direction yet, so it's troublesome.

Seeing that Saqqara was annoyed there, the rifle battalion commander Isaac reminded:

"Head of the Legion, it is too late to pursue Margaret. Now, the most important thing is to hang the body of the false king John Stewart on the city square to extinguish the Scots' resistance! Without the king, their resistance Will be meaningless! "

"But Queen Margaret ran away, and with the Queen, the Scots may choose to take the lead and continue to resist!" Sakara said angrily.

After thinking about it, Isaac said:

"This is simple, look at me!" Then he asked the court ladies in the backyard of Edinburgh Castle with a kind face:

"Who of you looks like Queen Margaret the most? Especially the hair color."

After thinking for a while, the ladies pointed to a beautiful lady with beautiful chestnut hair.

"Since this ..." Isaac suddenly changed his face:

"Then borrow your body for use!"

Then, with a cruel face, Isaac ordered the maid, who looked like Queen Margaret, to be strangled.

"What are you doing? Why do you want to kill innocent women?" Sakara asked with dissatisfaction.

Isaac nodded heavily, and replied:

"I know she is innocent, but the most important thing at the moment is to destroy the Scots’ will to resist. You know, His Majesty Edward wants the entire Kingdom of Scotland. So, I plan to use the maid ’s body to pretend to be Margaret. queen……"

Saqqara suddenly realized that although he could not bear it, he still supported Isaac's approach. Because it helps to quickly settle the Scottish resistance.

"Hang out John Stewart and the maiden's corpse. Remember to put that maiden's daily dress on Queen Margaret! Also, it's best to let the maiden's body hang down, preferably with loose hair, Cover your face so that no one can see the flaws. Also, send guards to guard, don't let people come closer and identify carefully. "

"Yes, sir!" The guard led away.

At this time, Sakala ’s adjutant raised questions:

"Legion Commander, it's August now. The weather is hot, and the body is easy to rot. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause a plague!"

Sakala thought for a while:

"Well, the corpse only hangs for three days, and the mortal remains after three days! In addition, the city gate is opened to allow people to leave Edinburgh freely. I will use the mouth of those people to tell the whole of Scotland that their king and queen are dead!

...

Although a corpse was given to Queen Margaret, Saqqara would not give up the pursuit of the real Queen Margaret. All Scouts of the Fourth Army were scattered, in order to track Queen Margaret. You know, a princess in England is also a former queen of Scotland. Such an identity is too much a threat to Edward.

Sakala didn't know that Marin planned to let Edward "lead the box lunch" at the right time, but he knew that his young master Caesar was engaged to Edward's daughter Princess Margaret. Perhaps, in the future, the whole of England will be owned by his own family. Therefore, the hidden danger of Queen Margaret is better not to stay.

In addition, this time, he may have no chance to be promoted to Earl. Originally, Edward promised that if he could capture John Stewart and Queen Margaret, he would give him the title of hereditary earl. However, he only completed half of the tasks, and even half of the tasks were not reached. Because he let go of Queen Margaret, who threatened the Edwardian throne the most. Therefore, this time his credit has made such a big discount, I am afraid that he can only change the title of a Viscount.

...

At this time, Queen Margaret, who was so depressed in Saqqara, was riding a horse with a dozen French knights on the country road to Glasgow. Their horses were forcibly collected from villages outside Edinburgh, which were originally the horses of the villagers. But Queen Margaret and his party could not take care of it, because they had roped down from the mountain, they had no horses at all, and they could only **** the horses of the villagers.

"Queen, why should we go to Glasgow to take a boat? There are our ships in the Port of Edinburgh! There is no decent ship to carry us to Glasgow!" The leading French knight Renault asked in confusion.

Queen Margaret replied as she steered the horse:

"Knight Renault, on the Forth Bay north of Edinburgh, is full of enemy warships. We will definitely be intercepted if you take your ship. Even, it may not be easy to go to the North Sea. Because, the other party must have warships Patrol the North Sea. You know, England is a maritime power, and there are so many ships ... "

In fact, Queen Margaret was really right. Dozens of English warships were wandering outside of Forth Bay at this time. If Queen Margaret and his party really boarded the ships that had brought the French army to the sea, they would definitely be intercepted.

As a princess in England, Queen Margaret obviously knew the naval strength of England. Under the suppression of England, Scotland did not even have a decent navy. It's not that Scotland doesn't want to have it, but if it does, it will attract the siege of the English fleet. Because, once Scotland has a strong navy, it can take a powerful French army to Scotland to land. Then, a fatal threat to England from the north. Or, directly transport the French army to England ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Therefore, England does not allow Scotland to have a strong navy.

Therefore, Queen Margaret, who knows the mentality of the English people, never thought of escaping from the North Sea by boat. As for the Scottish Highlands who had retreated to the north to continue their resistance, Queen Margaret had not thought about it. Because she knew that there was no resistance in Scotland now. The population of Scotland is too small, and most of the strong men are detained in England. Therefore, even if you continue to resist, it is nothing more than lingering on. And if it fails, Edward will definitely not let her go.

It is with these considerations in mind that after getting down the rope from Edinburgh Castle, Queen Margaret thought about it and took the dozen French knights who were willing to run along with them to the nearby village to **** the farmer's farmland. The horse then galloped directly in the direction of Glasgow.

Glasgow is only 75 kilometers away from Edinburgh, and Queen Margaret and his party paid no attention to horsepower. In the afternoon when Saqqara discovered that Queen Margaret and her party were gone, they had arrived in the Port of Glasgow.

At this time, Glasgow was not a prosperous port like that of later generations, it was just an ordinary fishing port. When Queen Margaret arrived, she didn't even repair it. She directly forced the largest fishing boat on the pier, and ordered the fishermen and sailors who had planned to return home to sail to the sea overnight. Before boarding the ship, Queen Margaret also asked those French knights, from Glasgow city, to force a lot of food and fresh water for navigation.

Then, under the attention of many people in Glasgow ’s fishing port, the big fishing boat carrying Queen Margaret left Glasgow ’s port and then turned along the River Clyde towards the Southern Irish Sea ... ()
