Marlin's counter-plot was very simple - it was to have Edward ask Richard to write a letter to Richard. Bol's brother-in-law promised to make him the Duke of Yorkshire as long as he was willing to lead a large army to join him.

It can be said that Edward's conditions are very generous. Because, Yorkshire is the largest county in England. Previously, during the York Dynasty, the Duke of York was only awarded to the king's own son. Being named the Duke of York is equivalent to giving Yorkshire to him as a hereditary territory, which is full of sincerity......

You know, although Henry VII married Lord Margaret to Richard. Bol, but the title of Lord Margaret is only the Countess of Salisbury. Later, when Lord Margaret died, Richard. The descendants of the lords of Pol and Margaret can also inherit the title of earl.

But here's the thing – Salisbury is just a small town in Wiltshire, a far cry from the earls of a county, let alone Yorkshire, England's largest county? Yorkshire was divided into five counties – West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Yombousedshire and Cleveland...... Combined, it has an area of about 15,000 square kilometers, which is much larger than the Electorate of Saxony. Ordinary principalities are not so big......

Compared with a small city and a super county of 15,000 square kilometers, a fool knows which one to choose. What's more, the lords of Yorkshire were dukes, far from being comparable to those of the earls of a small town in Salisbury.

Of course, Richard. Pol was a die-hard loyalist of Henry VII, and if he did send the letter to him, he might not accept it. Therefore, Marin did not intend to send the letter to him personally, but to send it to Henry VII through the hands of others.

So, Marlin's specific plan was to send someone to deliver the letter to Richard. Pol was in the barracks, but before sending the letter, he deliberately asked Lord Margaret to find a reason to call him home......

After all, Henry VII had not yet officially started the Northern Expedition, and was still in the trophies counting stage, as well as arguing with the French. As for Edward, according to the intelligence officers of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce in London, Henry VII was not in a hurry to encircle and suppress Edward after sending ships to control the Irish Sea. Anyway, cutting off Edward's retreat, Henry VII felt quite sure......

In other words, although the 20,000 British troops in London have not been disbanded, they have not yet completed the reward for the navy and have not placed any French prisoners, so they have not officially marched north for the time being. At this time, Lord Margaret could have found a reason to put Richard. Pol was tricked home from the barracks.

et Richard. Pol went home, and Edward sent someone to the barracks to deliver a letter to Richard. Bohr. Moreover, the "secret letter" was deliberately not sealed so that the officer who received the letter could see it. In order to enhance the curiosity of the officer who receives the letter on his behalf, the person who delivers the letter can act like a sneaky person to arouse the curiosity of the officer who receives the letter on his behalf...... When that brother saw the contents of the letter, he would probably be horrified...... After all, Edward was asking Richard to write a letter. Pol rebelled with his entire army and killed Henry VII's ......

This is too big a matter for the officers who see the letter to dare not make up their own minds, and will hand it in...... Then, just wait for Henry VII's reaction......

A calculating fox like Henry VII was the most suspicious. If he had seen the letter, even if he still believed Richard. Pol, it is estimated that he will not dare to continue to hand over the entire army to Richard. Pol too. After all, Edward was willing to pay for it—even the Duke of York, a title and fief that only a prince had to offer, and ordinary people must be tempted...... Henry VII certainly did not dare to bet on the loyalty of his men, and then he would have to change the manager......

……

A few days later, in the camp outside London, a sneaky guy came to the camp gate and confirmed that Richard. Pol had been tricked into returning home, so he approached the gatekeeper and asked to see Richard. Bohr. The guards didn't bird him, and as a result, this sneaky guy made a handful of gold coins as soon as he made a move......

The British guards guarding the gate suddenly lost their footing, so they called an officer to deal with it. This officer was just a middle-level officer passing by, and he was curious for a moment, so he rushed to deal with the matter. When the officer asked the sneaky messenger and Richard. Pol's relationship at the time, the sender just said that it was Richard. Pol's relatives are in a hurry to find Richard. Sir Bol ...... In a hurry, the messenger directly grabbed a large handful of gold coins and stuffed them into the officer, asking him to hand over the "family letter" to ...... Then, the messenger left in a panic......

This officer was only a middle- and lower-ranking officer, and his income was not high, and he was stunned by this handful of gold coins at once, which was not much different from the previous guards...... But after a while, the officer finally reacted - if it was really a letter from a relative, why was he sneaky and panicked? This is suspicious......

Seeing that the letter was not sealed, the officer couldn't hold back for a while, took out the letter and read it......

As soon as he read the letter, the officer was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand on his feet...... Shocking case, Lao Tzu can't hold it!

The officer immediately handed in the letter......

Then, his boss almost out......

The letter was then sent directly to the Tower of London Palace......

"What? Edward wants to buy Richard? When Henry VII first heard the report, he was unimpressed. Because, he can trust his cronies.

However, when Henry VII saw the letter with his own eyes, his face changed......

Without him, Edward's conditions are so generous that people can't help but be tempted when they see it......

O hereditary Duke of Yorkshire! In the Kingdom of England, this territory is second only to Wales of Wales, the Prince of Wales. But the Prince of Wales is the future king, and there is no comparison. Therefore, the Duke of York can be said to be the largest prince of England.

Richard. Although Pol served Henry VII for many years, Henry VII was eventually given only a low-ranking knighthood. Although he was given a count's wife, this benefit can only be enjoyed by the next generation. As for Richard. Pol himself is blessed. Moreover, Salisbury is only a small town, and Yorkshire is the largest county in England...... There's no comparison......

Edward was so generous that it brought out the incomparably stinginess of Henry VII...... You know, Richard. Bol was a diehard and a strong man of Henry VII......

Henry VII was a little unsure of his idea, so he took the scheming Earl of Derbyshire, Thomas. Stanley invited him into the palace to discuss the matter......

Thomas. After reading the letter, Stanley hesitated for a long time, and finally said:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the old minister doesn't believe Richard very much. Pol will betray you. However, I have to guard against it......"

"What do you mean?"

"The old minister believes in Richard. Pol's personality, the conditions for this guy to be cute Dehua are too rich, and they are so rich that they are greedy. So, we also have to guard against Richard. Pol he was tempted. Although, this odds are relatively small...... However, no matter how small the odds, we must also prohibit him from ......"

After a pause, Thomas. Stanley continued:

"Your Majesty, you give Richard. Bol's power is so great that handing over the entire country's army to the other side is tantamount to handing over his life. If he really had his heart, we would all die without a place to bury. After all, Richard. Pol is indeed Edward's legitimate brother-in-law! ”

Henry VII nodded, he was also worried about this. If it's Richard. Bol had nothing to do with Edward, and he could have taken the letter as a joke. But, as Thomas . . . Stanley said that Richard. Pol's wife was indeed Edward's own sister. Richard. Pol himself was Edward's undisputed brother-in-law...... Edward's promise may not necessarily be fulfilled for others, but it will certainly be fulfilled for his own brother-in-law...... Moreover, Henry VII did not dare to guarantee that Richard had been in charge of all these years. Pol was not influenced by his wife, Lord Margaret. If it is more affected, the letter is likely to impress Richard. Bohr......

"That'...... A change in commander-in-chief? ”

"Well, another one! Anyway, Edward's strength is not as strong as ours, as long as the commander does not fall to the other side, it should not be a big problem. "Thomas. Stanley nodded.

Then, the next day Richard. Pol finished his family affairs and before he returned to the barracks, he was told that he had been transferred from his post......

"Your Majesty, why?" Richard. Pol couldn't figure it out, so he went to Henry VII.

Henry VII was a little embarrassed, and in order not to chill his henchmen, he looked at Thomas. Stanley, turn to him for help......

Thomas. Stanley had no choice but to say:

"Richard, this is the result of discussions among several of our ministers...... They think it's too cruel for you to lead troops to kill your brother-in-law...... So, let someone else do it......"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Lord Stanley, I will not show favoritism and let Edward go of that guy!" Richard. Bol patted his chest and assured.

Can Henry VII and Thomas. Stanley glanced at each other, and a thought popped into his mind at the same time:

"It's a pity I can't believe you......"
