Chapter 407: Assassination
When Marin gave orders to Saqqara in Newcastle, he asked Saqqara to transport the newly recruited 10,000 English mercenaries to the remote and undeveloped East Frisian Islands, and also asked Saqqara to leave a group of people. , Continue to recruit 5,000 people to guard Newcastle. Anyway, Marin is not short of food, but recruiting soldiers from the disaster area in England, just give food.
This 10,000 England mercenaries, Marin is intended to be used as a soldier. Therefore, Marin will not announce their existence to the outside world, but intends to hide it first.
Anyway, Marin felt that sooner or later he had to fight against people. It would be better to play a big game and fool the enemy first. After the real war starts, the enemy will find in horror that Marin has 10,000 more troops. As a result, the morale of the enemy will be hit. Coupled with misjudgments in strength and mistakes in layout, it is easy to fail.
Moreover, at the same time as the spring cultivation, Marin secretly ordered-ready to gather militia. For example, in the East Friesland region, the original 8,000 militiamen, in addition to the 3,000 people brought to Adler by the Adler, the remaining 5,000 people will also be gathered after the end of spring cultivation. Hoffman directed and defended the cities of Aurich and Emden, defending the homeland. Then, the local regular army will be freed up and can go out with Marin.
Of course, the militias recruited by Marin are not limited to these 5,000 people, but will reach 10,000. Only in this way can it be used to defend local security.
Marin's homeland refers to the East Frisian Lambert region. As for the Münster area, because of the separation between North and South with Bishop Conrad, Marin can actually transfer all the garrisons in the Münster area for war. Because, the southern border is bordered by the southern area controlled by Bishop Conrad. Bishop Conrad is now an ally of interest with Marin, and the relationship with the Holy See will not attack Marin's control area.
Therefore, Marin can safely transfer all the regular troops stationed in the northern area of Münster for war. As for the 10,000 troops stationed in the Principality of Schleswig, it cannot be easily used. Because they must guard against Danish attacks.
The local area, because it borders West Friesland, needs a certain amount of defense. The 10,000 militias that Marin intends to recruit are in fact to guard against the Gede Si army in West Friesland. After all, Marin ostensibly formed an alliance with Charles II, Duke of Geddes, but both of them were born with ghosts and could not trust each other. Therefore, Marin needs to stay in the army to guard against the army of the Duchy of Geddes. However, because it was a city defense, Marin did not need the regular army to guard against the enemy, leaving 10,000 militia, enough to defend. Even if the Gedesi army really sneaked into the back of Marin during the war, the 10,000 militia could defend the city and insist that the main force of Marin returned.
...
Marin is thinking that the Geddes Congress will not attack him from behind when the war starts. Charles II, the Duke of Geddes, sent someone to contact Marin ...
As for why? It turned out that Charles II was inquired through intelligence and learned that during the retreat, George the Duke of Saxony used two puppets from the former Principality of Geddes to rule West Friesland-Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Zweitel of Leeuwarden It was gone, and it was temporarily placed in East Friesland.
By this time, George had already rushed back to China to host spring cultivation with more than 10,000 people. At present, in the temporary military camp of the Principality of Saxony on the east bank of the Ems River, only 2,000 garrisons of the Principality of Saxony and the previous group of prisoners brought back from Groningen by George, including Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Zwitz Included.
Charles II, Duke of Geddes, was clearly aware of the important role of Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Zütel of Leeuwarden. If George were allowed to take them to the Imperial Parliament to accuse himself, Charles II would definitely be politically passive.
Therefore, Charles II, Duke of Geddes, intends to resolve these two men. If it is possible, Charles II naturally hopes to take back the two governors of Fyskefrijheid and Baron Zweitel of Leeuwarden to West Friesland and continue to act as puppets.
However, these two men, including the army of the 2,000 Principality of Saxony, are stationed in the territory of East Friesland. Even if Marin allowed him to send a large army into East Friesland, it would take a lot of troops to win the barracks of the Saxon army. What's more, Charles II felt that Marin would not allow him to send a large army into East Friesland to attack the temporary barracks of the Saxon army.
Therefore, Charles II's intention to send Marin to Marin was simple-to allow Marin to allow him to send a killer to assassinate Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Zütel, Leeuwarden. As long as the two of them died, George could not present his witnesses at the Imperial Parliament. Without witnesses, Charles II, the Duke of Geddes, could completely deny that he had captured West Friesland, making George want to accuse him of no conclusive evidence and method.
After thinking about this for a long time, Marin agreed to the request of Charles II, Duke of Geddes.
As for why he agreed to the request of Charles II? Obviously, Marin did not want George to go too well. If George went well and Marin wanted to buy West Friesland, it would not go well. Only when George was desperate would Marin have the opportunity to buy West Friesland.
To this end, Marin ordered that the domestic intelligence personnel began to pay attention to infiltrating the temporary camps of the Principality of Saxony, observing the movement of the Saxon army, and the laws of life of the governor fyskefrijheid and the Baron Züttel of Leeuwarden, to give Charles II The killer sent created opportunities.
Moreover, in the temporary military camp of the Principality of Saxony, since George brought more than ten thousand people back to the Principality of Saxony to participate in spring cultivation, there were only a few thousand captives and two thousand Saxon soldiers in the military camp. The captives obviously could not leave the barracks at will, and the soldiers did not know how to work. Therefore, they need to hire some local labor from East Friesland to deal with some life matters.
Therefore, in East Friesland, there is some workforce, employed by Saxons, who can enter and leave the Saxony barracks. Intelligence personnel under Ma Lin can enter the military barracks through this channel to search for news.
...
Soon, the two killers sent by Charles II, Duke of Geddes came. Both of them are martial arts assassins, and the appearance is very standard-the standard public face ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ ordinary body, no noticeable characteristics. But Malinte sent his men to try it out, and the martial arts of these two men are indeed high. They are good at assassinating with daggers, both of which hold daggers in two hands, and two daggers can play flowers in their hands.
In fact, most of the assassins of this era also used daggers. Because the dagger is well hidden and can be easily hidden in the sleeve. When the assassination is assassinated, the assassins easily remove the dagger from the sleeve and then pierce the target's heart.
As for assassination? Sorry, that stuff is not popular yet. Moreover, matchlock guns are not suitable for short shots. In addition, the matchlock is too obvious. You have a matchstick on your arm. Everyone knows that you are a musketeer ... And the clockwork musket that Marin made can be made into a short gun suitable for assassination, but people in other countries still Not really.
And the use of crossbows to assassinate anything seen in previous Marin movies is not reliable. Because there is no small steel wire crossbow in this era. The large crossbow is too easy to expose the target, it is not convenient to carry. Therefore, assassins of this era still believe in daggers.
When the two assassins came over, Marin ’s intelligence personnel had already investigated the situation of the Saxony barracks, and arranged for the two killers to enter the Saxony barracks as a hired coolie to help the Saxons. house. Then, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the Governor Fyskefrijheid and the Baron Zvtel of Leeuwarden ...
On a dark, dark night, the two assassins quietly touched the respective rooms of Governor Fyskefrijheid and Baron Zweitel of Leeuwarden, quietly cut the bolt with a sharp dagger, entered the room, and then pricked the two with a dagger. The human heart ...
After a successful blow, the two killers quickly left the room of the two, and then quietly left ...
