Chapter 1434: Stalling for Time

It is not a trivial matter to tie the future king of France, especially since the French side has already decided that Prince François will marry Princess Claude next year and become the next king of France. If it were exposed at this time, France would have to attack the North Sea States with all its might. Otherwise, you can't hang your face.

So, when it came time to select apprentices, Marin specifically asked Kohler to select a few orphaned teenagers to study. Why pick orphans? Because Marin has already planned to kill after a good thing. After all, the matter of ligation for the future king of France must not be leaked. Otherwise, the more than 80,000 French troops would now drive back and storm the North Sea Kingdom.

Although it is said that if Marin transfers the two legions of England back to China, he will not necessarily be unable to defeat the French army, at least, it can be defended. However, there are still German princes on the side! If the German princes took advantage of the fire to rob, Marin would have no choice but to run away. Therefore, Marin does not dare to gamble now, so he can only keep it as secret as possible.

When Ada taught those apprentices to do ligation, Malin specially instructed that the technique of ligation should not be allowed to leak out.

This is because, if the news gets out, the French may check it for Prince François. If you know how ligation works, you may be able to deal with it. Also, if the news of the ligation came from the North Sea Country, and then traces of the ligation were found on Prince François...... Needless to say, fools know who the murderer is......

Therefore, Marin only sent a dozen orphaned teenagers to Leonardo da Vinci as disciples. Moreover, after the orphans were learned, except for the one who remained to operate on Prince François, all the others would be sent to the island of Grenada, where they would permanently take root and perform sterilization operations on male slaves from Africa. As for Europe, there is no need for this technology to exist. Moreover, Marin asked Leonardo da Vinci to never divulge this matter. The reason is that this technique violates the principles of the Holy See and is easy to be targeted by the church......

The reason for this is very strong, and the influence of the Church on Europeans is still very strong. For example, the church does not allow premarital behavior, and people still observe it very well. Moreover, the church strictly forbids abortion because it is a murder of life and disobedience to God. In the same way, ligation hinders fertility and is a murder against life and disobedience to God...... This reason was so powerful that Leonardo da Vinci had to give in......

……

While the dozen orphaned teenagers were being trained, Marin and Kohler began plotting to tie Prince François. Kohler expressed strong opposition:

"My lord, according to you, the ligation needs to be slashed on the outside of Takamaru, and Prince François is not a fool, how can it not be clear that the outside of the egg was slashed? When the time comes, they will definitely be looking after this, how can we explain it? ”

Marin was stunned......

Indeed, he was thinking too simply. Although the ligation operation is very invasive, it still requires a small incision on the outside of the ball. Prince François is not a fool, how can he not know that the balls have been cut with a knife?

And, although the ligation surgery is small, it only takes 7 days to recover. However, within a week, Dandan's pain was still a little, and he couldn't have been unclear......

"How can Prince François ignore the pain in the balls? With anesthetics? This can have ......"

When he was working on smokeless gunpowder before, Marin had already made ether, and Leonardo da Vinci also figured out the anesthetic technique of ether. It's not as divine as being in a coma on TV, but if you are blinded for a long time, it still has an anesthetic effect.

When the time comes, before using the knife, use ether to numb Prince François, and he will not know that Dandan's passive knife will be used. As for feeling a little pain in the balls after waking up...... What to do......

"Then whip him so that his whole body hurts, and ignore the pain in the balls...... Besides, the whip was all over the body, and the little hole in the balls was not obvious......" Kohler said grimly.

"Great idea! Attention shifts! Marin immediately applauded the suggestion.

If Prince François is wounded first, he will naturally be in pain. When the time comes, the pain of a small infusion on the egg is naturally nothing. Besides, if Prince François was tied, he wouldn't be able to check his balls......

Afterwards, as long as the wound is camouflaged, it looks like a whip scar, and it can be fooled......

For this reason, Ma Lin specially found Imperial Doctor Liu who was sitting in the palace and asked for advice on how to fake the wound. After all, it was at the level of an imperial doctor, and Lao Liu quickly gave a method of falsifying the wound, making the surgical wound look like a whipping wound.

In addition, Lao Liu also gave a prescription for sweat medicine. This recipe, combined with spirits, allowed Prince François to sleep groggily for seven days. Even if you are awake for a while and give you food and drink, because there is a whiplash on your body, it will cover up the pain on the balls......

……

Marin then found a reliable spy and sent him with a barbed cowhide whip to the outside of Paris to be tasked with executing Prince François.

This spy had worked as a jailer and was extremely adept at whipping prisoners. As a veteran, he can control the technique precisely and make the prisoners ache, but it is not a big deal.

Marin's request for him was to add a batch of scars to Prince François's body, the kind that would be difficult to remove. In addition, it hurt Prince François, but it was not a big deal. In short, it was for Prince François to turn his attention to the scars of the whipping......

……

At the same time, Marin sent another group of spies to project secret letters into the city of Paris by means of archery, and put forward his own conditions - asking for the heads of Tudor's mother and son Marguerite to be exchanged for Prince François......

When the letter was received by Queen Anne, who remained in Paris, Queen Anne was relieved......

Why? Because this letter shows that the other party has no intention of harming Prince François, and his son-in-law is still safe......

As for the letter requesting the heads of Tudor's mother and son, Margaret's mother and son? Queen Anne is not a vegetarian either, and she has a trick up her sleeve - dragging ......

Then, at the appointed place of reply, Marin's spy received a reply from Queen Anne - His Majesty is far away in Italy, and I am not a woman who calls the shots. Therefore, you need to ask Your Majesty to ...... first You take care of Prince François first, and I will send someone to ask Your Majesty......

But then the woman sent another letter, which said, "Prince François is not my son-in-law yet, and his wife doesn't care so much." After all, Prince François is dead, and we will choose a new son-in-law for our daughter...... Of course, it would be nice if the child could be put back. For this, she is willing to pay a ransom of 10,000 gold coins......

……

When the news came back to Aurich, Marin sighed:

"Queen Anne isn't good either!"

This woman, although she can't decide who her husband is, is also more politically wise. Her two letters, while throwing the pot, deliberately said that Prince François was not irreplaceable. In this way, not only to save Marguerite's mother and son, but also to make the "kidnappers" who kidnapped Prince François helpless - no one cares about the life or death of this prospective son-in-law, and it is useless for you to tear up the ticket......

……

It's just that Queen Anne didn't expect it - her procrastination was exactly what Marlin wanted. Because, Marin also needs time to perform a ligation operation on Prince François!

Therefore, the two sides are dragging on like this, and no one is in a hurry......
