The Rise of the European Emperor

In addition to this false information that looked very real, stuck between two pieces of parchment, on the parchment, a more false information was also written.

The main content is - I heard that Hamburg secretly gathered 10,000 mercenaries. Please ask the Hamburg side to drive the 10,000 "elite" troops to the enemy's rear and sneak attack on the enemy when our army confronts the enemy outside the city. ...

Obviously, according to the "true" information below, this is to make the Bursa coalition believe that Hamburg really hides 10,000 troops. Then, when confronting Marin head-on, he had to divide his troops to the west to prepare for a possible raid by the Hamburg army. In this way, on the frontal battlefield, the Bursa coalition will lose at least 10,000 troops. In this way, the pressure on Marin's 20,000 people will be much less, and they will have a chance to fight to the death. Otherwise, in the face of too many enemy troops, trying desperately may not be effective.

Of course, the young and impulsive Joachim I might believe this very false information. However, if it were the cunning and cunning Frederick III, he would definitely not believe it.

Because, German mercenaries are mainly concentrated in southern Germany. The electorate of Saxony is located in the south-easterly region of Germany, very close to the southwest region where mercenaries are abundant. If Hamburg employs tens of thousands of mercenaries, it is impossible for the Saxons to not know at all.

Moreover, as the smartest of the seven emperors, Frederick III must have sent spies to Lübeck and Hamburg, two highly open commercial cities.

As for East Friesland, Frederick III sent people to go to East Friesland with his cousin George, Duke of Saxony. However, Marin is very strict with the population management of East Frisian, and has also been densely populated by spies, exposing them...

However, because there are too many businessmen from various places in Lubeck and Hamburg, it is difficult to guarantee the mixing of foreign spies. Unless, the two cities are closed to do business.

Therefore, as to whether there is an army in Hamburg, Frederick III, who sent spies in advance, will definitely doubt. At that time, Jim, who is caught on purpose, will be punished first, and then pretend to be unbearable, instructing them to tear the double-layer parchment and see the "real" information...

...

It's just that, before Jim set off, Marin sent someone to let the Grand Chancellor Heisenberg begin to recruit 10,000 strong people...

In order to act realistically, according to Marin's suggestion, Chancellor Heisenberg sent all the 500 light cavalry in Hamburg out of the city and blocked all roads leading to the east. Anyone who wants to ride eastward will be intercepted. Those who want to force their way through will always be intercepted.

The reason for this is to put on a posture of "I want to keep it a secret" and "I can't let the Bursa coalition know the truth".

Then, send another army,

Go to the villages near Hamburg City and hunt for the strong men. This was done in order to scare the snakes and the scattered scouts outside Hamburg, so that they became curious about what happened in Hamburg, and had the idea of ​​​​going into the city to spy on the secrets.

At this time in Hamburg, although it was not allowed to go out of the city on horseback, it still did not prohibit people from entering. For those spies from various countries who want to enter the city to seek information, even if they know, they will be welcomed into the city. Anyway, there will be a curfew to restrict them afterwards.

At the same time, in the city of Hamburg, the Hamburg military will also order each family to send strong men to join the ranks of conscripts. The reason, of course, is to help defend 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. If you don't want to, you may kill them directly. Moreover, this is convention, not tyranny. In times of embarrassment, those middle-aged women will even be pulled up to the city wall to assist in defending the city. Even if the women can't fight, it's okay to throw bricks and stones from the city head...

It would be strange if such a big movement did not attract scouts from various countries around Hamburg. In particular, the scouts from Brandenburg and Saxony are related to important matters in the army, and they will definitely sneak into the city to inquire about news.

As long as these people enter the city, Hamburg will immediately fully implement the rule of only entering, preventing those spies from leaving. Before that, only people were not allowed to go out of the city on horseback. Those spies will definitely choose to put their horses outside the city and walk into the city to inquire about news. Then, after finding out the news, go out of the city to find the hidden horses and go back to report the news... But the comprehensive rule of only entry and no entry will trap those spies in Hamburg.

Moreover, at this time, when Hamburg was recruiting the strong people and recruiting strong men, the scouts under Sauer had already gone to the village along the river a few kilometers north of Hamburg. They used the banner of Hamburg and began to temporarily take over all the horses in the village. And began to scrutinize foreigners...

At the same time, those scouts will drive the serfs in the manor to the Elbe River to build the proposed dock so that the army can land easily...

Three days later, it is estimated that almost all the scouts of the Allied Forces of Bursa near Hamburg were attracted into Hamburg by the big action of Hamburg. Marin officially dispatched Jim with a fake letter of double parchment.

Before leaving, Marin gave Jim a small bag. The bag was full of makeup materials, such as foundation powder, eye pencils, various paints, and fake beards...

The reason why I gave Jim this set is to make it easier for Jim to use makeup when he escapes. Jim himself doesn't have much beard, and this time he went to see Frederick III and Joachim I, and he didn't plan to make up. Because, if the makeup is too exaggerated, it will cause the suspicion of Frederick III, it will not be worth it.

After all, it was an old fox, and it would be very dangerous to be seen through the disguise. However, when escaping from the barracks, Jim could completely disguise himself as another person, glue on a beard, put on the uniform of the enemy army, and take the opportunity to escape.

Jim's skills are very good, as long as he wears makeup, and then steals a set of other people's Bursa coalition military uniforms in the military camp, and then relies on adaptability, maybe he can get out.

Moreover, what reassured Marin most was that Jim had an incredible talent for language, and could speak the dialect of Saxony and the dialect of Brandenburg. As long as you put on makeup and steal the military uniform, the chances of getting out are very high.

Jim felt a lot better after taking the cosmetic bag that Marin handed over. After all, Marin still cares about his life and death. However, when he was captured, the cosmetic bag was easily found. So, Jim thought for a while, separated the materials in the cosmetic bag, and hid them in various places on his body, even in the saddle, to avoid being searched by the enemy.

Then, with the reins in his hand, his feet tucked into the horse's belly, Jim headed west without hesitation...

"Hey, I hope you can come back alive..." Looking at Jim's back, Marin suddenly remembered a famous verse - "The wind is bleak, and Yi Shuihan is cold, and the strong man will never return when he goes away"...

However, the curtain of this decisive battle really opened with Jim's departure...
