Chapter 1834 - Waiting for the other party to come to the door
"Hurry up and find out how many of the more than 60,000 disaster victims have served as soldiers!" François I gave the order solemnly. Although he has no grudge against the Beihai Kingdom, he is also very wary of this big mercenary leader who once made the previous king of France disgraced. It would not be wise to send such a good source of troops to such a person who might become an enemy.
Baron Bogur quickly sent someone to investigate, and there would be no data for a while and a half. And John. As a spy of the North Sea Kingdom, he actually knew the data - more than 3,600 of the more than 60,000 people who were killed by the disaster had been mercenaries or conscripts from noble territories.
Although after he reminded him, these more than 3,000 people with military experience would definitely be left behind, but Beihai Guo would not feel pity. Because, when Beihai Country recruits soldiers, it will actually deliberately not select those who have experience as soldiers. Because, after these people are infected with the habits of the old army, it is difficult to reform, it is better to choose peasants with no experience in the army to train.
Moreover, Marin only wants labor for farming, not soldiers, and does not need to select soldiers from the more than 60,000 French strong men. Besides, Marin doesn't worry that these French people have force, after all, they are not my race.
So, this time deliberately let John. By raising this question, Rafite can not only reassure the French side, but also reassure Marin. After all, if these strong men with experience as soldiers have ideas that they shouldn't have in the colony and take the lead in taking the lead in righteousness, then the fun will be great......
……
In the afternoon, the minister in charge of civil affairs came with the data - among the more than 60,000 disaster victims, 3,651 people had participated in mercenaries or aristocratic territory armies and had war experience.
François I immediately ordered that these men be eliminated and simply incorporated into the servant corps of the French infantry, that is, the transport brigade responsible for escorting grain and grass or serving the knights.
Then, the next ones are the ones who are willing to give it to Marin. But on how to contact Marin, everyone also debated for a long time.
In the end, François I made the decision - first designed to bankrupt the famous Parisian loser Baron Adair, and then sent someone to remind him to find connections and seek official positions. Then, the post of head of the temporary government office in charge of the victims of the disaster will fall to him.
When the time comes, he will send someone to contact him secretly, and he will send someone to contact Marin, agreeing to him to solicit the victims and ask for benefits......
Of course, François I would not have intervened in this matter, and a trusted minister would be responsible for contacting Baron Adair to make him handle the matter. Even if the money was taken, it was the minister who took it and quietly gave it to François I.
In short, François I must have taken it out of this matter. Even if someone later talked about it, it would not affect François I......
With this arranging for this, today's meeting is dismissed. And John. Rafi was also given the task of having the three "merchants" of "Giroud", "Trezeguet" and "Griezmann" receive a boxed lunch......
As he walked out of the palace room, Baron Bogur was a little gloomy at John. Rafi Dao:
"Lord John, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of that little guy 'Griezmann'? Don't you think he's like you back then? I'm looking forward to him growing up to be a second you......"
These words are blaming John, both openly and secretly. Raffi has no room for it. A few other people also looked at it, but most of them were looking at John. Raffi jokes. After all, John. Raffi was a very late fortunate minister, and they were not all the way. Even the Count of Durt, who is also a fortunate minister, is also an old French nobleman. Lafite, an "outsider" from Germany, is different.
John. Raffi is a highly trained spy, so how can he be easily influenced? He looked at Baron Bogur with "clear" eyes and said:
"What are you talking about? Lord Bogur, we are all loyal subordinates of His Majesty, and everything is for His Majesty's sake. Would you like to see His Majesty's reputation ruined because of a leak? ”
With that all said and done, Baron Bogur could only walk away in a huff. After all, he was a diehard loyalist of the king, and the last thing he could see was the king's reputation damaged. Just stabbed John. Rafi's sentence is purely from the heart of John. Raffi was a little unhappy, and lamented that a clever lad was about to die......
……
That night, John. Raffi suddenly "caught fire" in a remote courtyard in Paris. Then, the next day, when the scorched rubble was cleared, eight charred bodies, including five maids, were found. Three of the charred corpses resembled those of John. Three guests of the Viscount of Rafite. Moreover, it is also found in the guest room where they are......
Baron Bogur, as a close confidant of the king, sent his own capable men to investigate, mainly to confirm whether the three men were really dead.
And the man sent by Baron Bogur was the same escort who had gone with him to the banquet last night, and although he was not at the table, he had seen the three of them.
On his return, he reported to Baron Bogur:
"The corpses are all charred black, but according to their size and height, they are all compatible......"
But how did they know that from the very beginning, the spy department of the North Sea State was fully prepared. Even, the "stand-ins" of the three spies were found in the slums of Paris.
At this time, there were more than 100,000 people in Paris. The slums in the city also have a large number of poor people and beggars. The spies of the North Sea Kingdom have long found three "stand-ins" of the same height and size as the spies.
On the night of the move, the three "stand-ins" were drunk and sent to the guest room where the three of them were. Moreover, they specially applied grease to their faces. In this way, after the fire, because the grease is flammable, the bottom of their faces is first burned, and the ghosts cannot recognize it...... This is because of the firefighting carried out later, otherwise they would have burned all their bones......
Therefore, when Baron Bogur's people came to identify him the next day, they could definitely not see their appearance, and they could only distinguish their body size and height based on the charred corpse. And these, the spies have thought of for a long time, and they are naturally quite the same size, and there are no flaws at all.
……
After the matter of extinguishing the mouth is done, the next step is to guide Baron Adair into the game. To this end, François I specially sent people to collect a few gambling masters, and trained them intensively for a period of time, specifically training them to cooperate with the pit people.
When they have practiced their cooperation, they will be sent to the gambling houses where Baron Adair often hangs out, and set up each other, so that they will go bankrupt and have no way out. Then, a special lobbyist will come to the door and point him to seek official positions...... Then, we will deal with the sale of the victims......
"Next, all we have to do is wait for the other party to come to the door......" Marin said to Kohler with a smile. Once Baron Adair becomes the official in charge of the disaster as planned, he will definitely send someone to the North Sea Kingdom to contact him. When the time comes, Marin is still going to take Joe......
