In addition to this fake information that looks very real, glued between the two pieces of parchment, the parchment on top also has an even more false piece of information.

The main content of the book is that I heard that Hamburg has secretly gathered 10,000 mercenaries, and asked Hamburg to drive the 10,000 "elite" troops to the rear of the enemy when our army and the enemy army are facing outside the city, and attack the enemy secretly......

Obviously, according to the "true" information below, this is to convince the Bossa coalition that Hamburg is really hiding 10,000 troops. Then, in a head-on duel with Marin, he had to divide his forces to the west to guard against a possible surprise attack by the Hamburg army. In this way, on the frontal battlefield, the Bossa coalition army will lose at least 10,000 troops. In this way, the pressure on Marin's 20,000 people will be much less, and he will have a chance to fight to the death. Otherwise, in the face of too many enemy troops, it may not be effective to try desperately.

Of course, this very false information might have been believed by the young and impulsive Joakim I. However, Frederick III, who was a cunning and cunning man, must not have believed it.

Because, German mercenaries mainly gathered in the southern regions of Germany. The Electorate of Saxony was located in the east-east of southern Germany, close to the mercenary-rich southwest. If Hamburg had hired tens of thousands of mercenaries, the Saxons would not have known anything about it.

Moreover, Frederick III, the smartest of the seven electors, must have sent spies to the two highly open commercial cities of Lübeck and Hamburg.

As for East Friesland, Frederick III sent men to East Friesland with his cousin, George, Duke of Saxony. However, Marin was very strict with the population of East Friesland, and he also densely packed spies, so that they were exposed......

However, Lübeck and Hamburg were too many merchants to come and go, and it was difficult to ensure the infiltration of foreign spies. Unless, the two cities are not open for business.

Therefore, Frederick III, who sent spies in advance, would definitely be suspicious of whether Hamburg had an army. When the time comes, Jim, who was deliberately caught, will first be punished, and then pretend that he can't stand the punishment, and instruct them to tear open the double layer of parchment and see the "real" information......

……

However, before Jim left, Marin sent someone to ask Speaker Heisenberg to start recruiting 10,000 people......

In order to act realistically, according to Marin's suggestion, Speaker Heisenberg sent all the only 500 hussars in Hamburg to 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 in will be intercepted and killed.

The reason for this is to put on a posture of "I want to keep it a secret" and "I can't let the Bossa coalition know the truth."

Then, another army was sent to the villages near the city of Hamburg to arrest the strong men. The purpose of this is to alarm the scattered scouts outside Hamburg, so that they will be curious about what is happening in Hamburg and want to go into the city to spy on the secrets.

At this time, although it was forbidden to go out of the city on horseback, people were still not allowed to enter. For those spies from various countries who want to go into the city to find out information, even if they know about it, they will be welcome into the city. Anyway, there will be a curfew to restrict them after that.

At the same time, in the city of Hamburg, the Hamburg military will also order each family to send strong men to join the ranks of conscripts. The reason, of course, is to help defend the city. This reason is very reasonable. In this era, no matter which city, when it is besieged, the strong men in the city will be forced to help defend the city. If you don't want to, you may kill it directly. Moreover, this is customary, not tyranny. In times of distress, those women in the prime of life will even be pulled up the city wall to help defend the city. Even if the women couldn't fight, they could still throw bricks and stones from the top of the city......

It would be strange if such a big movement did not attract scouts from all over the city of Hamburg if it did not attract the people of the city. In particular, the scouts of Brandenburg and Saxony were concerned with military affairs, and they would certainly not be able to resist sneaking into the city to find out the news.

As soon as these people entered the city, Hamburg would immediately enforce the rule of only entering and not leaving, in case the spies left. Before that, people were only not allowed to ride out of the city. Those spies will definitely choose to leave their horses outside the city and walk into the city to find out the news. Then, when the news is found, I will go out of the city to find the hidden horses and report the news...... But the total rule of entry and no-exit will trap those spies in the city of Hamburg.

Moreover, at this time, when Hamburg was recruiting the people and catching the strong men, the scouts under Sauer had already gone to the riverside village a few kilometers north of Hamburg, and began to temporarily take over all the horses in the village, and began to strictly check the outsiders......

At the same time, the scouts would drive the serfs from the estates to the Elbe and build the proposed docks to facilitate the landing of the army......

Three days later, after estimating that the scouts of the Bossa coalition near Hamburg were almost all attracted to Hamburg's big moves, Marin officially dispatched Jim to set off with a fake letter on double parchment......

Before leaving, Marlin gave Jim a small bag, which was full of makeup materials, such as foundation, eyepencil, various paints, and fake beards......

The reason why Jim was given this set of things was to make it easier for Jim to use makeup when he escaped. Jim himself did not have much beard, and this time he went to see Frederick III and Joakim I, and did not plan to wear makeup. Because, if the makeup is too exaggerated, it will arouse Frederick III's suspicion, it will not be cost-effective.

After all, it was an old fox, and it would be very dangerous if the disguise was seen through. However, when escaping the barracks, Jim could have disguised himself as another person, glued a beard, changed into an enemy uniform, and escaped.

Jim's skills are very good, as long as he puts on makeup, then steals a set of other people's Bossa army uniforms in the barracks, and then relies on improvisation, he may be able to get out.

And, the most reassuring thing for Marin was that Jim was extremely talented in the language, able to speak the dialects of Saxony and Brandenburg. As long as you put on makeup and steal a military uniform, the chance of getting out is very high.

Taking the makeup bag handed over by Marlin, Jim finally felt a lot better. After all, Marin still cares a lot about his life and death. It's just that when I was caught, my makeup bag was easy to find. So, Jim thought about it, and took apart all the materials in his makeup bag and hid them all over his body, even in the saddle, to avoid being searched by the enemy.

Then, with the reins in his hand and the horse's belly between his feet, Jim headed west without hesitation......

"Alas, I hope you can come back alive......" Looking at Jim's distant back, Marin suddenly remembered a famous poem - "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone"......

However, the curtain of this decisive battle also really opened with Jim's departure......
