Chapter 1712: Baron Yoguerre
The biggest problem with Marguerite, who assassinated Tudor, and her fake son Henry was the thousands of French soldiers guarding the "mother and son".
Margaret of Tudor was very cautious, and in order to ensure her own safety, she went directly to live in a military camp with a size of more than 1,000 people. Although he faces a bunch of big bosses all day long, he lives in the depths of the barracks and is a mess of safety. Even the spy masters of the Beihai Kingdom have nothing to do with her.
After all, even the most astute assassin did not have the courage to carry out assassinations in a military camp of thousands of people. This is the world of normal people, not the world of martial arts. Not to mention facing thousands of soldiers, facing dozens of ordinary soldiers, the strongest assassin master has to kneel.
So, Marlin's only chance is to let John. Raffi penetrated into the French court and was given the opportunity to mobilize that group of soldiers. Or, find an opportunity for Tudor's Margaret to go out and send someone to intercept her halfway.
In fact, when François I ascended the throne, the spies of the North Sea Kingdom were ready to assassinate and ambushed them halfway. It's a pity that this girl actually went to the palace with three hundred French soldiers to participate in the enthronement ceremony. As it happened, the barracks was going to send three hundred soldiers to the palace to maintain order for the enthronement ceremony, and the woman simply walked with the soldiers, which also deprived the Assassins of the opportunity to assassinate......
In desperation, Marlin could only order John. Lafite let him do everything possible to curry favor with the newly enthroned François I, in order to gain a voice in the French court.
François I did accept John. Raffi is still planning to reuse him. To Marin's dismay, because he was not sure whether Queen Anne was pregnant, what François I said now did not work. Obviously François I had already given it to John. Raffi had some authority, but the big nobles who originally held the real power did not let John in time. Rafi exercised the authority he had in his hands.
John. Both Raffi and Marin were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood – by the time Queen Anne was proven not pregnant, and François I had established his authority, the situation in Paris had been relatively stable. At that time, there was no such good opportunity as now......
Nowadays, John. Lafite had been authorized by François I to assist in the management of the city's defense and law and order. Originally, there should have been a certain right to mobilize urban defense troops. Among them was the mobilization of the 1,000 city defenders of Margaret's "mother and son" to guard Tudor.
But the problem is that the Count of Sesque, who is currently in charge of the defense of Paris, is not willing to hand over the security of the city to François I at the behest of Queen Anne. Apparently, Earl Sesk is also waiting for news from Queen Anne to see if Queen Anne will be pregnant in a month......
So, John. Raffi currently has no title, but he can't really help with the security of the city defense of Paris, nor can he mobilize the group of city defense troops around Marguerite of Tudor.
Although theoretically more than a month later, John. Raffi gained real power and had the opportunity to assassinate the "mother and son", but when the situation in Paris stabilized, it was not so easy to send a large number of assassins to infiltrate Paris. After all, once the new king gets the authority, the first thing he will do is definitely to get all the military power of the royal capital and run the royal capital into an iron bucket to ensure his own safety. So, if you want to get your hands dirty, it's best to do it in the first two months......
And, John. Raffi heard that the woman Margaret of Tudor was very careful. During the period of the change of the French monarchy, she was extremely low-key and basically did not go out. Rafi and a group of North Sea spies in Paris felt helpless.
Clearly, Margaret of Tudor was not a fool and knew that this time was a dangerous time. It's not just Marlin who wants to do it, but England actually wants to do it too. Margaret of Tudor didn't know that Marlin was going to do anything to her, but she knew that King Edward would love her death. Therefore, during this time, she is very low-key and never goes out if she does not have to......
……
"What to do? This woman is so difficult......" Marin frowned.
The military camp of thousands of people, the assassins obviously did not dare to break in. This is not a martial arts movie, assassins can fly around. Who dares to break into the thousand-person barracks?
If he was in the field, Marin could have sent a few hundred Assassins to bring the soldiers in the barracks along with them. But this is in Paris!
There were at least a few thousand defenders inside the city and tens of thousands outside the city. Most of these were the elites brought back by Louis XII's expedition to Italy, and the average Assassin would not dare to mess around with them. Especially those knights, one-on-one, unless they sneak attack, those assassins basically can't beat them head-on.
And the thousands of people guarding Margaret's "mother and son" in Tudor are said to have 10 knights' children serving as officers, which is very difficult to mess with. And the officer at the head is said to be a baron......
"Baron...... Looks like this can make a fuss......"
So, Marin hurriedly asked people to ask about the situation of the commander of this garrison in Paris.
Soon, the information was fed back - Baron Yoguerre, the leader of this city defense army, came from the countryside of western France, and was an ordinary baron with no background. But a baron with no background can achieve the rank of commander of the military formation of the city of Paris, which is obviously very capable and not easy to mess with.
But Marin interpreted another meaning from it - this guy has no backing, and it is difficult to be promoted.
If there is a big guy who extends an olive branch to him, as long as he is not a fool, he will generally choose to accept it. In particular, Marlin intends to make John. In the name of François I, Lafite extended an olive branch to him......
It is clear that François I is also in need of support now. Because of the uncertainty of the throne, François I also urgently needed the support of the city defense forces of Paris. If there are enough city defenses in the capital to support him, he will be able to control the situation even if Queen Anne is pregnant. Even, you can get rid of the child that Queen Anne is pregnant with.
So, at this stage, François I was in great need of the military's support. And Baron Yoguerre, a middle-level officer of the Paris City Defense Army with thousands of men, is obviously a good target to woo.
If John. It makes sense that Lafite approached François I in the name of helping him win over officers. Moreover, Baron Yoguel did not dare to refuse. After all, François I was king. Although the throne is not yet secure, ordinary people dare not offend. What if his throne was secured? While Queen Anne may be pregnant, she may not be pregnant. Moreover, even if you are pregnant, you may be pregnant with a girl. Even boys can die young......
In short, François I had a very good chance of winning in the end, and most people did not dare to refuse his wooing. Even if your position is wavering and you don't want to accept it, you don't dare to refuse it directly. Before the results came out on Queen Anne's side, for François I's wooing, even if everyone was vain, it was necessary.
Marlin wanted Baron Yoguer's false promise, and then, John . Rafi will be able to make a trick......
What's the trick? John. What is Rafite best known for? Bordeaux Lafite!
Once the wooing mode is turned on, John. In the name of a friend, Lafite could have given a large amount of Lafite wine to Baron Yoguerre. Even, the garrison of a thousand people under the command of the baron......
The soldiers were very alcoholics, and if John. Rafi poured barrels of wine into the barracks, intoxicating the soldiers there...... So, here's the opportunity......
Ma Lin remembered Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who was quietly killed by his subordinates after getting drunk. If Marin makes John. Raffi drunk thousands of city defenders, including Baron Yoguere, with wine, so it would have been easy to send Assassins to infiltrate Margaret's "mother and son" to assassinate Tudor......
