Chapter 666: Hiding into the Marin camp
After solving the French, the next step is to completely solve Edward's problem. Therefore, Henry VII ordered General Jean Turnbull to lead half of the warships to blockade the Irish Sea and completely block Edward's return to Ireland.
Then, it is to completely solve Edward's forces on the British island ...
However, Henry VII also worried that Edward had fled to Scotland north of Hadrian's Wall after his defeat. Edward itself is 10,000 people, and there are more than 10,000 people in Scotland. If the two are combined, it will be difficult to deal with ...
According to Henry VII, most of Edward's army was French mercenaries. In order to pit Edward, Henry VII sent a messenger to France to request the prisoner of war ransom, and ordered the waiter to deliberately accidentally reveal that it was Edward who told the French secret of Henry VII's military secret ...
As a result, the French who suffered huge losses will be furious. If France sent a boat to the Irish sea at that time, the English fleet would pretend to turn a blind eye ...
This is because the furious French will send messengers to tell the thousands of French mercenaries named Edward. Sure, Edward ’s army messed up first ...
Most of Edward's army is French, which is the so-called "mercenary" sent by Louis XII. But they are actually the regular French army. Edward has two or three thousand illegal soldiers. If information came from France saying that Edward had betrayed France and caused heavy losses to France, then those French soldiers must have separated themselves from Edward, and there might be infighting. With only two or three thousand illegal soldiers, Henry VII can think of the other party with his toes.
Henry VII's strategy is not insidious. If Edward really relies heavily on French soldiers, he will use this strategy and Edward will definitely be finished.
However, Henry VII didn't know that Edward had already caught the line of Marin. Nowadays, Edward has already led a large army and went to Marin ...
After blood-washing Lancaster's old nest, Lancashire, Edward continued to lead the army eastward and entered Yorkshire ...
Yorkshire is naturally the home of the York family. When Edward's white rose flag entered Yorkshire, he was welcomed by many Yorkshires who were still here.
Although originally plundered by the Scottish army, Yorkshire suffered a severe famine, and more than half of them went south to flee. But since last year, many Yorkshires have returned to their homeland and used their savings to buy seeds and continue to plant land.
However, because this is the basic dish of the York family, King Henry VII even hoped that Yorkshire would completely collapse. Therefore, the British royal family had no control over the life and death of Yorkshire last year. Of course, I can't control the life and death of other northern counties, except for the basic Lancastrian and Lancaster counties of Chester County ...
People in Yorkshire naturally support the York dynasty, not the Lancaster dynasty, nor the Tudor dynasty. Therefore, after entering Yorkshire, Edward was warmly welcomed by the locals. Then, surrounded by local celebrities, Edward's army entered York City, the center of Yorkshire ...
Later, Marin, who got the news, also led a 20,000 army. From the mountain forest in southern Northumberland, he went south along the Benning Mountain Range to the mountain forest in the west of the York Valley where York City is located. However, no public appearances ...
This is why Marin has his own considerations. He believes that although the local army is not weaker than the British army. However, after the French were pitted, Edward's French army did not know whether he would continue to help Edward fight. Therefore, his 20,000 army should be prepared to take on the task of fighting against the main force of the English army.
Of course, the army dominated by the French is still somewhat useful. For example, they can attract most of the attention of the English army ...
Marin believes that York City, the capital of Yorkshire, is the key to this war. As the heir to the York dynasty, Edward stayed in York City without any problems. Henry VII will definitely go north after finishing the French army. The York Valley where York City is located is a good battlefield.
If Edward's 10,000-strong army, mainly French, was stationed in York City, attracting British troops to surround him. And his own army, while taking advantage of the British army to surround York City, suddenly came out of the Benning Mountains, hitting the English army behind, the probability of victory will be higher ...
In addition, when the French were pitted, Marin was very worried about the safety of Edward and his family. Of course, the main thing is the safety of Edward ’s daughter Margaret ... If Edward ’s French soldiers discover something, and finally make a mutiny, Edward and his family are very dangerous ...
You know, Edward himself is a bit repulsive to the French. After leading the army to land, Edward only brought his wife Anna and daughter Margaret, as well as some of his cronies. As for Anna ’s servants from France that had accompanied her, Edward did n’t bring them, leaving them all in Dublin ...
This move is hard to arouse the suspicion of Edward's French soldiers. Because, without those French servants, the French generals became difficult to get some private information about Edward.
If news of the French tragedy in the English Channel is heard at this time, some French soldiers will probably react ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ suspect Edward. Therefore, Edward and his family are now in danger ...
So, Marin sent someone to quietly send a letter to Edward, telling him-in order to prevent the French soldiers from discovering something, and the situation of rebellion, Edward and his family, it is best to come to the Marin army and receive the protection of the army of the Grand Duchy of Beihai ... …
After receiving Marin's letter, Edward was hesitant. Because, he didn't believe Marin. However, when he received a secret letter from his sister Margaret County Master, he immediately changed his mind and took his wife Anna and daughter Margaret to hide in the Marin camp in the Benning Mountains ...
As for York City, Edward was handed over to French commander Francois. Before leaving, Edward told Francois to continue to keep York City in his name and attract British troops to attack. And Edward, after the British army besieged the city, led the army to attack behind the British army from the side to achieve the purpose of "determining the world through World War I ..."
In order to fool François, Edward promised that if this battle is won, once he becomes the King of England, he will enclose François as the Earl of England and own the actual territory of a county in England ...
Edward's painting of this pie really gave the French commander, Francois Knight, a little bit too far to find. Even the idea of leaving the French king and following Edward was born. After all, the pharaoh promised nothing but a baron. And Edward is more courageous and gives the count! Moreover, there is still a real count of county closures ...
So, Francois Knight patted Edward's chest and promised Edward-must guard York City, waiting for the British army to attack with Edward inside and outside ...
After fooling the French, Edward took his wife and daughter and hid in the secret camp of Marin in the Benning Mountains, waiting for the arrival of the English army ...) !!
