Chapter 449: The wind is low and the water is cold
In addition to this seemingly real fake information stuck between two pieces of parchment paper, the piece of parchment paper above also wrote a more fake information.
The main content is-I heard that Hamburg secretly gathered 10,000 mercenaries. When Hamburg and the enemy were confronted outside the city, the 10,000 "elite" army was driven behind the enemy to sneak attack ...
Obviously, according to the "true" information below, this is to convince the Bossa Allied Forces that Hamburg really has 10,000 troops. Then, when confronting Marin head-on, they had to divide their troops to the west to prepare for a possible raid by the Hamburg army. In this way, the Bossa Allied Forces will lose at least 10,000 troops on the frontal battlefield. In this way, the pressure of Mariin's 20,000 people will be much less, and there is a chance to fight hard. Otherwise, in the face of too many enemy forces, trying hard may not be effective.
Of course, this very fake information, in exchange for young impulsive Joakim I may believe. However, it must be unbelievable to replace Frederick III with the traitor.
Because, German mercenaries mainly gathered in southern Germany. The electorate of Saxony is located in the east-south region of southern Germany, very close to the southwest region rich in mercenaries. If Hamburg hired tens of thousands of mercenaries, the Saxons could not have known nothing at all.
Moreover, as the smartest of the seven electors, Frederick III must have sent spies to the two highly open commercial cities of Lübeck and Hamburg.
As for East Friesland, Frederick III sent people to join the cousin George Duke of Saxony and went to East Friesland. However, Marin's population management in East Friesland is very strict, and there are spies, so that they are exposed ...
However, because Lübeck and Hamburg have too many business contacts, it is difficult to guarantee the entry of foreign spies. Unless, the two cities do not open doors to do business.
Therefore, Frederick III, who sent a spy in advance, will doubt whether there is an army in Hamburg. When the time comes, Jim, who was deliberately caught, will be punished first, and then pretend that he can't bear the punishment, instructing them to tear open the double parchment and see the "real" information ...
...
It's just that before Jim set off, Marin sent someone to let Heisenberg Speaker call for ten thousand people ...
In order to make the acting realistic, according to Marin's suggestion, the Heisenberg Speaker sent the only 500 light cavalry in Hamburg to the city, blocking all roads to the east. Anyone who wants to ride horse to the east will be intercepted. Anyone who wants to break through will be intercepted.
The reason for this is to pose as "I want to keep it secret" and "I can't let the Bossa coalition know the truth".
Then, he sent another army to the village near Hamburg to catch the strong men. This is done to fight the grass and the snakes, and to disturb the scattered scouts outside Hamburg, to make them curious about what is happening in Hamburg, and to have the idea of going into the city to spy on secrets.
Although Hamburg City at this time was not allowed to ride out of the city, it was not forbidden to enter. For those spies who want to enter the city to inquire about intelligence, even if they know it, they will be welcome to enter the city. Anyway, there will be curfews to restrict them later.
At the same time, in the city of Hamburg, the Hamburg military will also order all the families to send soldiers to join the conscription. The reason is, of course, to assist in defending the city. This reason is very reasonable. In this era, no matter which city is under siege, it will force the strong men in the city to help defend the city. Unwilling, it may be killed directly. Moreover, this is a practice, not a tyranny. In embarrassing moments, those middle-aged women will even be pulled up to help defend the city. Even if women ca n’t fight, it ’s okay to throw bricks and stones from the top of the city ...
It is strange that the city recruits the strong people and the strong people outside the city. If such a big movement does not attract the scouts of the countries around Hamburg City. Especially the scouts of Brandenburg and Saxony, which are related to major events in the military, certainly cannot help but sneak into the city to find out news.
As soon as these people enter the city, Hamburg will immediately enforce the rules of not going in and out, in case those spies leave. Before that, people were not allowed to ride out of town. Those spies will definitely choose to put the horse outside the city and walk into the city to find out the news. Then, when I found out the news, I went out to the city to find the hidden horses and went back to report ... But the comprehensive rules of not getting in and out will trap those spies in Hamburg.
Moreover, at this time, while Hamburg was recruiting the Minzhuang and the Zhuangding, the scouts under Sauer had already traveled to the riverside village a few kilometers north of Hamburg. And began to strictly investigate foreigners ...
At the same time, the scouts will also drive the serfs in the manor, go to the Elbe River, and build the proposed pier to facilitate the landing of the army ...
Three days later, it was estimated that the scouts of the Bossa Allied Forces near Hamburg were almost drawn into Hamburg by the big action of Hamburg. Marin officially dispatched Jim and set off with fake letters of double parchment ...
Before leaving, Marin gave Jim a small bag full of make-up materials, such as foundation powder, eye pencils, various paints, fake beards, etc ...
The reason for giving Jim this set of things is to facilitate Jim's makeup when he runs away. Jim didn't have much beard himself, and this time he went to meet Frederick III and Chokem I, and he didn't plan to put on makeup. Because, if the makeup is too exaggerated, causing Frederick III's suspicion, it is not cost-effective.
After all, it was an old fox, and it would be very dangerous if it was seen through disguise. However, when he fled the barracks, Jim could completely disguise himself as another person ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ with a big beard, put on the military uniform of the enemy, and escaped.
Jim's skill is very good, as long as the makeup is good, and then steal a set of others' Bossa coalition military uniforms in the military camp, and then rely on randomness, may be able to get out.
Moreover, the most reassuring thing about Marin is that Jim's language talents burst into the table, and he can speak the dialects of Saxony and Brandenburg. As long as you wear makeup and steal military uniforms, the chance of getting out is high.
After receiving the cosmetic bag from Marin, Jim finally felt a lot better. After all, Marin still cares about his life and death. It's just that when he was captured, the cosmetic bag was easily searched. So Jim thought about it and split the materials in the cosmetic bag and hid them everywhere, even in the saddle, to avoid being searched by the enemy.
Then, Jim held the reins in his hands, caught his horses feet with his feet, and went west without turning back ...
"Ah, I hope you can come back alive ..." Looking at Jim's far back, Marin suddenly remembered a famous verse-"The wind is weak and the water is cold, the strong man is gone forever" ...
However, the curtain of the decisive battle also really opened with Jim's departure ...
