Chapter 645: Half-truth information (2018, I wish you all ...

Unsurprisingly, after hearing the news from the garrison in Birmingham, the silk purse was found in the gap of the fence where the bandits entered and exited. . шщш.㈦㈨ⅹS.сом is updated fast.

After all, the wallet was left near the exit, and the silk was so dazzling. Once the garrison entered the ‘door’, it was easy to spot.

Baron Jorgen, the chief of the Birmingham Defense Forces, intended to hack the purse, but after opening the purse, he found two French letters and immediately dismissed the idea.

According to the information obtained, a group of horse thieves should have attacked the camp. However, there were two French letters in the wallet where the horse thief dropped, and some French coins-Baron Jorgen knew the big things. He was one of Henry VII's cronies. He hurriedly handed this money bag to Henry VII. Moreover, he added his own judgment-this group of horse thieves is probably secretly supported by the French, in order to make trouble for England ...

Baron Jurgen did not understand French, but Henry VII did. Before the rebellion, Henry VII had been wandering for a long time in the Principality of Brittany in France and was no stranger to French.

After opening the two letters, Henry VII discovered that-these two letters, one is a family letter, was a French 'women' woman 'named Jeanna wrote to her husband Henry, mainly some care words, and to The other party reports-everything is fine at home ...

The second letter is very important-this letter was written by the Earl of Duert, the French in charge of intelligence, to a knight named Henry Spaio. The contents of the letter shocked Henry VII and saw it ...

In this letter, the Earl of Durt stated that the intelligence was obtained from London, and the British army built a base camp in Warwickshire, which may be used to deal with the thieves in several central counties. Therefore, the Earl of Durte ordered this knight named Henry Spayo to lead the horse bandits of his Robin Hood band, while the British soldiers were busy cultivating in the spring and had not yet assembled. Grain, to undermine its actions ...

This paragraph clearly explains why the British military camp was attacked. Of course, this is not the point, nor is it where Henry VII was afraid. The next part only scared Henry VII ...

The letter went on to say that His Majesty Louis, the great Lord of France, decided to use England ’s internal “chaos” to seize the opportunity to conquer the Kingdom of England and end the centuries-old grievances between France and Britain ...

The specific plan is to send a fleet to raid the British fleet on the Irish Sea and help Edward land in England ...

Of course, this is just a strategy of bludgeoning — the real intention of the French is to use the conflict on the Irish Sea to attract most of the ships in England and weaken the defense of the English Channel ...

When the British fleet is attracted by the Irish maritime conflict, the French will suddenly launch a large-scale login operation, breaking London in one fell swoop ...

As for Edward, his life and death have nothing to do with the French, but it can fully attract the attention and main strength of the British ...

And this knight named Henry Spayo, his task is to take the bandits, find faults for the British army, and attack the supply line with a special "gate", to a certain extent weaken the British army's combat power ... wait until the British army all After paying attention to Edward and the thieves in the middle, the French launched a large-scale landing battle and won England in one fell swoop ...

Even, in the letter, "Count Durt" proudly stated that they had used several fake chambers of commerce to defraud most of the big merchant ships and a large number of experienced sailors from the Five Ports Alliance that could be used as warships. Too. As long as the French army attacked before those big ships had returned, the British could not escape and die ...

...

See here, Henry VII cold sweat DC ...

If there was only this letter, Henry VII might doubt it. But Marin is too ‘chicken’ thief, he specially used the wallet prop, and also added some French silver coins and a family letter, making everything look so reasonable ...

If it was just the second letter, Henry VII might suspect that the enemy was trying to send the wrong information to himself and deliberately mislead himself. But with that family letter, it seemed more reasonable. Because no one would send his family letter to the enemy. Marin took advantage of the fixed mindset of Europeans in this era and set up a bureau. Using a wallet containing family letters and French silver coins, Henry VII initially dispelled doubts ...

Henry VII has already filled out the complete storyline-a French knight named Henry Spayo, under the direction of the French intelligence chief Count Duarte, while taking advantage of the Northern and Central Britain's "confusion" When the time came, the song of Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire used to be the place where Robin Hood had been active. The pseudonym Robinson, from the wandering victims, pulled up the robber team, specializing in the "gate" to destroy, so that England could not live in peace ... and, it looks like they succeeded ...

However, this band of thieves does not pose a fatal threat to England. The real threat is the use of the conflict in the Irish sea and Edward's power to attract the main force of the English navy to facilitate the French team to cross the sea. Of course, there are also things that the French hired the big merchant ships of the five-port alliance at high prices-these are the deadliest ...

After all, in the eyes of Henry VII, Edward's army seems to have a lot, but the combat effectiveness is also the same. Even if they cross the sea, they can't beat the English army. The biggest threat to Britain is still the French ...

The French army was very powerful. After the late Hundred Years' War, the British army was no longer an opponent of the French army. Otherwise, the King of England will not lose all French territories except Calais.

Moreover, there are enough French troops to be able to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to fight the country. Unlike Edward, there is no more than 10,000 people and it is not a climate. If the French army successfully landed in England, the British army will be miserable, and the destruction of the country is not impossible ...

Previously, the British relied on private merchant ships and experienced sailors to successfully repel the French invasions time and time again, but also mainly against the guests, invading the northern coast of France (the French navy is not strong, in addition to not paying attention to it, and the British The sweeping of "swing" is related) ...

Now, if the British navy ’s main force is attracted to the Irish Sea, the big ships of the Five Ports Alliance are still led away ... It seems that the English Channel really ca n’t stop the French from landing ...

Henry VII quickly sent people to the port of the Five Ports Alliance to verify. At this time, the so-called branches of the Dutch and Italian Chambers of Commerce had already left the building under Marin's notice. The people sent by Henry VII only found some French supplies and paper with French ...

After hearing that most of the merchant ships of the Five Ports League were really hired out of the sea at high prices, Henry VII had to believe the letter-the French were really going to England ...

As a result, Henry VII immediately dispatched a large number of speedboats to pursue the direction of Italy and the Baltic Sea, and ordered the merchant ships of the five-port alliance to quickly return to the country to prepare for war to prevent the French from invading the sea.

In addition, Henry VII specially called boats and experienced sailors from various ports to let them join the war ...

However, Henry VII is also a 'smart' person. After knowing that the French might cross the English Channel, he guessed that the French would inevitably send ships to scout. So instead of ordering all the boats to the English Channel immediately, he ordered them to wait for orders on the ports on the southeast coast and southwest coast of England ...

Then, Henry VII sent many small fishing boats to scout on the English Channel. Once the French reconnaissance ship is found, it will report to the British court. If the reconnaissance ship sent by the French looks back, Henry VII will immediately order all ships of all sizes to gather on the south coast of England, waiting for the arrival of the French fleet ... This time, Henry VII decided to destroy the French fleet. A fatal lesson for the French ...

As everyone knows, all this falls into Marin's calculation ...

The reason why Marin came up with this letter was for the purpose of pitting France. England wants to annex, but the French threat is even greater. If the French were to get to England, a war would be inevitable. The French may not have much to do with England across the sea, but there are ways to deal with the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, which is also on the European continent. This point is proved by the tragic ending of the Netherlands in history ...

In the Anglo-Dutch War, the United Kingdom relied on United France to put the Dutch home on the land, and finally won the Dutch ...

Therefore, it is best to drive the British to engage the French ...

Originally, Marin intended to pass the news through the English spy in the French King's Palace. However, since Koster went ahead and attacked the British military camp in advance, it would be better to 'hand over' to Koster. After all, the more the British prepare in advance, the more fully prepared, and the higher the success rate of defeating the French fleet ...

Moreover, when England knows that "the battle on the Irish sea is only attracting the attention of the main force of the English navy", it will not desperately send ships to stop Edward ...

After all, in the letter, the French thought Edward was just a pawn, a **** that attracted the English army of Henry VII ...

Moreover, Henry VII also had an idea-since Edward had no way to hide him on the island of Ireland, why not put Edward on the mainland of England and wipe it out in one fell swoop? You know, that fake Richard is so finished ...

Henry VII believes that as long as he resists the landing of the French, then, looking back to clean up Edward's family, don't you smile? He just hid on the island of Ireland. He dared to go back to England. He was looking for his own way ...

Marlin's half-truth is to let Henry VII focus his attention on the French. Then, while blocking Edward's landing, the water was deliberately released ...

In this way, when the French want to land, they will hit the iron plate directly-the fully mobilized English navy is still very powerful ...

It is precisely because the content of this intelligence is half-truth ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and the real part can be verified. Therefore, Henry VII believed the true 'sex' of this information. Otherwise, the wise Henry VII is not so cheating ...

It is true that the French wanted to invade England (this can also be verified by British spies in France). It is also true that the big ship of the Five-Port Alliance was deceived overseas (Marin just threw the deceiver's pot to the French) ...

Even, in order to pit the French, Marin did not hesitate to give Henry VII the news that he was about to launch a "falcon" on the Irish Sea. Based on Marin's understanding of Henry VII, an old fox, the other party is likely to "calculate" and let Edward land in England. That is because Henry VII did not know that he had quietly landed 20,000 troops in Newcastle on this side ...

In the previous life, Marin had heard such a saying that a "seven points true, three points false" lie is the easiest to deceive. Although Malin provided the false intelligence to Henry VII, although it did not reach the level of "seven points true", half of it was true. In 16th-century Europe where strategy is not prevalent, this kind of half-truth intelligence is enough to ignore people, even those who have a strategy like Henry VII ... because of his limited time background, he has never seen a smart Fraud ... a piece of semi-truthful information is enough to get Henry VII into the pit ...
