Chapter 1739 England sends troops
It should be pointed out that four English guards chased into the alley. Although they did not catch anyone, they brought back a broken wooden nameplate, which looked like the identity nameplate of French soldiers. In addition, there was a discarded French soldier's standard one-handed sword on the ground. However, the guards were busy sending Robinson to medical treatment, but they did not take it out immediately. It was not until Robinson died and took it out for General Moreno to see.
General Moreno was stunned at first sight - he did not send anyone to assassinate Robinson, what's going on? He sent someone to compare the number on the one-handed sword and found that it was a weapon used by the soldiers in the city. He sent someone to ask the relevant military camp according to the number and found the real master - a small team leader, but he said that the sword was lost three days ago...
Moreno believed what his people said, but the English didn't believe it - how could such a coincidence be? But the assassin assassin assassinated the English envoy with his stolen weapons?
In fact, this was Marin's spy, who came from the French captain who was drunk in the tavern three days ago, specifically for this frame-up. Otherwise, how could Edward find an excuse to send troops?
As for the identity nameplate, it was stolen by a spy in Paris. However, because it was not in line with the identity of the soldiers in the city, the handwriting on the wooden sign was deliberately damaged, making it difficult to see the details. But the wooden sign, whether in terms of workmanship or materials, was indeed a French military identity nameplate.
The members of the British mission who accompanied him were immediately excited - what's going on? Is this a provocation or a provocation to openly send troops to kill the English envoys?
Robinson's deputy Hahn was not in high status, he was just an ordinary assistant in the official residence of the Foreign Minister, but he was also the British King Edward responsible for monitoring the eyes and eyes of the Foreign Minister. This time, the envoy to Calais was nominally led by Robinson, but in fact the mission was secretly in the hands of Hahn. Including those guards, they all acted upon Hahn's orders.
As for why the four guards happened to be on the other side of the carriage during the assassination, Hahn had actually ordered them in advance. Moreover, they also received a hint that if Robinson was in trouble, he had to pretend to be stunned for a while and deliberately delay the time...
After chasing into the alley, the escaped assassins did push down many obstacles, but with the martial arts of the four guards, they could actually jump over. However, these four guards were all secret spies trained in England and obeyed the orders above. After pretending to chase after them for a while, they went back and hurried to take Robinson to treat them.
In fact, they also checked Robinson's wounds on the way to escort Robinson to find a clinic. Their task is to make up for it if the wound is not fatal...
But those who were sent to assassinate were obviously veterans. If they didn't make any mistakes, they would have no need to finish the attack...
...
Faced with this severe situation, General Moreno, the commander of the Calais garrison, was almost exploded. If it were normal, the French might not take England seriously. However, France is now fighting against Spain! Moreover, the new king François I has not yet fully controlled the Kingdom of France. If he offended England at this time...
In desperation, General Moreno had to order a large-scale search for the suspects throughout the process. All young and strong men were taken to interrogate. If no one could prove that they were indeed not present on the night of the incident, they would be taken to prison as suspects to be tried...
However, how could those assassins be arrested? They hid in the underground secret room provided by the North Sea spies, which were very hidden and had sufficient supplies. The French did not have professional detectives and even had police dogs, so how could they find those assassins?
As for the spies in Beihai Kingdom, they were smarter. On the night of the incident, they all went to the tavern to drink and even fought with people...
Taverns are public places, so many witnesses can naturally save them from all suspicion. In this way, the French's investigation fell into a dead end...
Moreover, in that alley, the spy gate of Beihai Kingdom was also tampered with. They deliberately made some traces and pointed to a nearby military camp. The stolen standard sword was the leader of the French army in the military camp... and the wound on Robinson's body was exactly the same as the blade of the French army's standard one-handed sword...
For a moment, General Moreno planned to push the team leader out as a scapegoat. At that time, he would say that the team leader was extremely hating England, and assassinating the English envoy was his spontaneous act...
But before Moreno could take action, Hahn left with Baron Robinson's body. Hahn's reason was that if he didn't take it back, Robinson's body would smell bad. Obviously, a baron's body should not be ruined like this. He must return to the country to be buried as soon as possible and arrange for the priest to do rituals...
General Moreno had no reason to stop him. After all, there are no anticorrosion needles these days, and the corpse cannot be left outside for a long time. It is indeed reasonable to be buried as soon as possible.
But he did not expect that the Englishman would not plan to reason with him again next. Because, when the Baron Robinson died, the reason for the Englishman to take action was sufficient...
...
Hahn and his party returned quickly. After all, the Strait of Calais is less than 30 kilometers wide and can cross it in half a day. After Hahn returned to London, he immediately rushed to the Tower of London Palace and reported the "bad news" to Edward in public...
Edward's acting skills also exploded at this time. He first pretended to be extremely surprised, and then suddenly felt extremely sad for Robinson, a "loyal minister" who "worked hard" and "saded" at work, and almost cried out.
Then Edward's mood changed from sadness to rage, shouting, "The blood of the English nobles cannot be in vain."
After a burst of anger, Edward ordered a large army to surround the Calais Fortress and planned to send a large army into the city to take over the investigation of the case...
Of course, as a "rules-abiding" monarch, Edward sent someone to submit a letter of state to France and notified the French - hey, we are going to send troops to the Calais Fortress to investigate the case! Well, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not, anyway, I will definitely send troops to Calais...
...
The British army was ready, so they acted very quickly. The next day, the British army collected a large number of ships for landing across the sea. When the British army had already initiated the landing, the letter of the country was passed to Paris.
After receiving the letter from the English, the government and the country were in chaos in Paris. They had just received the news that the English envoy was assassinated in Calais, and were still discussing how to explain to the English. As a result, the English were so good that they sent troops directly and asked to send troops into Calais...
Is this possible? It's absolutely not possible! Everyone knows that the Calais Fortress was originally from England and was taken back by France a few years ago. If the English are willing, there will be a ghost. If the English army is allowed to enter the city, will they still return Calais to France? Obviously not...
