In addition to the fact that this seemingly real fake information was stuck between two pieces of parchment paper, the parchment paper on it was also written with a more fake information.
The main content is - I heard that Hamburg secretly gathered 10,000 mercenaries, and asked Hamburg to drive the 10,000 "elite" troops to the rear of the enemy and attack the enemy...
It is obvious that according to the "true" information below, this is to make the Bossa coalition believe that Hamburg really hides 10,000 troops. Then, when confronting Marin on the front, he had to divide his troops to the west to guard against the possible raids of the Hamburg army. In this way, the Bossa coalition will lose at least 10,000 troops on the front battlefield. In this way, the pressure on Marin's 20,000 people will be much smaller, and he will have the opportunity to fight to the death. Otherwise, facing too many enemy troops, it may not be effective.
Of course, if it were the young and impulsive Jokeem I, he might believe this very fake information. However, if it were the cunning Frederick III, he would definitely not believe it.
Because the German mercenaries mainly gathered in southern Germany. The Saxony Electoral State is located in the easterly region of southern Germany, very close to the southwest region where mercenaries are abundant. If Hamburg hired tens of thousands of mercenaries, the Saxony people would not have known at all.
Moreover, as the smartest among the seven electoral emperors, Frederick III must have sent spies to two highly open commercial cities, Lübeck and Hamburg.
As for East Friesland, Frederick III sent people to East Friesland in the team of his cousin George Duke of Saxony. However, Marin was very strict in the population management of East Friesland and also had spies, which exposed them...
However, because Lübeck and Hamburg had too many merchants from all over the country, it was difficult to ensure that foreign spies were infiltrated unless the two cities did not open their doors to do business.
Therefore, Frederick III, who sent spies in advance, would definitely doubt whether Hamburg had an army. At that time, Jim, who was deliberately caught, would be punished first, and then pretend that he could not bear the punishment, and guided them to tear open the double-layer parchment and see the "real" intelligence...
...
However, before Jim set off, Marin sent someone to ask Speaker Heisenberg to start calling out 10,000 people to be strong...
In order to act realistically, according to Marin's suggestion, Speaker Heisenberg sent all the only 500 light cavalrymen in Hamburg out of the city and blocked all roads to the east. Anyone who wants to ride a horse to the east will be intercepted. Those who want to break through will be intercepted.
The reason for doing this is to act like "I want to keep it confidential" and "I can't let the Bossa coalition know the truth."
Then, another army was sent to the villages near Hamburg City to catch the strong men. This was done to alarm the scattered scouts outside Hamburg City, so that they would be curious about what was happening in Hamburg City, and to have the idea of ​​going into the city to peek into the secrets.
At this time, although people who ride horses are not allowed to leave the city, people are still not allowed to enter. For those spies from various countries who want to go to the city to inquire about information, even if they know, they will be welcomed into the city. Anyway, there will be a curfew to restrict them later.
At the same time, in Hamburg City, the Hamburg military will also order all families to send strong men to join the ranks of recruiting troops. The reason is naturally to assist in defending the city. This reason is very reasonable. In this era, no matter which city is siege, it will force the strong men in the city to help defend the city. Those who are unwilling may be killed directly. Moreover, this is a convention, not tyranny. In the moment of embarrassment, those young women will even be pulled up to the city wall to help defend the city. Even if the women cannot fight, it is still OK to throw bricks and stones from the top of the city...
It would be strange if such a big news would not attract scouts from all countries around Hamburg City. Especially the scouts in Brandenburg and Saxony were involved in major military affairs, and they would definitely be insidious in the city to inquire about the news.
As long as these people enter the city, Hamburg will immediately implement the rules of entering and not leaving, preventing the spies from leaving. Before that, people are just not allowed to ride out of the city. Those spies will definitely choose to put their horses outside the city and walk into the city to find out the news. Then, when they find out the news, they will go out to find the hidden horses to go back to report the news... But the rules of entering and not leaving will trap the spies in Hamburg.
Moreover, at this time, just when Hamburg was recruiting Minzhuang and arresting Zhuangren, the scouts under Saul had already gone to Yanhe Village, a few kilometers north of Hamburg, and took the banner of Hamburg, and began to temporarily take over all the horses in the village, and began to strictly investigate foreigners...
At the same time, the scouts would drive away the serfs in the manor to go to the Elbe River to build the suggested docks so that the army could land...
Three days later, the scouts of the Bossa coalition near Hamburg were almost attracted to Hamburg by Hamburg's big moves. Marin officially dispatched Jim and set off with fake letters from double parchment...
Before leaving, Marin gave Jim a small bag, which was full of makeup materials, such as foundation powder, eye pencils, various pigments, and fake beards...
The reason why Jim gave this set of things was to facilitate Jim to wear makeup when he ran away. Jim himself did not have much beard. This time he went to see Frederick III and Jockim I, and he did not plan to put on makeup. Because if the makeup was too exaggerated and caused Frederick III's suspicion, it would be no good.
After all, it was an old fox, and it would be very dangerous if it was discovered through the disguise. However, when escaping from the military camp, Jim could completely disguise himself as another person, stick a beard, change into an enemy uniform, and take the opportunity to escape.
Jim is very good at putting on makeup, then steal a set of other people's Bossa coalition uniforms from the military camp, and then rely on adapting to the situation, maybe he can get out.
Moreover, what reassuring Marin was that Jim had a great language talent and could speak the dialect of Saxony and Brandenburg. As long as he put on makeup and then steals military uniforms, the chance of getting out is very high.
After taking the makeup bag handed over by Marin, Jim felt much better. After all, Marin was still very concerned about his life and death. However, when he was captured, the makeup bag was easily found. So Jim thought about it and split the materials in the makeup bag and hid them everywhere on his body, even in the saddle to avoid being searched by the enemy.
Then, Jim held the reins in his hand, grabbed the horse's belly with both feet, and headed west without hesitation...
"Oh, I hope you can come back alive..." Looking at Jim's back as he left, Marin suddenly remembered a famous poem - "The wind whistles and the water is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves"...
