The Rise of the European Emperor

The biggest problem with the assassination of Tudor's Margaret and her fake son Henry was the thousands of French soldiers guarding the "mother and son".

Margaret of Tudor was very cautious. In order to ensure her own safety, she actually lived directly in a military camp with thousands of people. Although he faces a bunch of big bosses all day long, living in the depths of the barracks, he is extremely safe. Even the master spies of the North Sea country have nothing to do with her.

After all, even the best assassin would not have the guts to go to a military camp with thousands of people to carry out assassinations. This is the world of normal people, not the world of martial arts. Not to mention facing thousands of soldiers, even the strongest assassin would have to kneel in the face of dozens of ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, Marin's only chance is to let John Lafite break into the French court and get the chance to mobilize those soldiers. Or, find a chance for Margaret of Tudor to go out, and send someone to intercept and kill him on the way.

In fact, when François I came to the throne, the spies of the North Sea State were ready to assassinate and ambushed halfway. It's a pity that this lady went to the palace to attend the enthronement ceremony together with three hundred French soldiers. Coincidentally, the military battalion wanted to send three hundred soldiers to the palace to maintain the order of the enthronement ceremony, and the woman simply went with the soldiers, which also made the assassins lose the chance to assassinate...

In desperation, Marin could only order John Rafi to please the newly enthroned Francois I in every possible way, so as to gain the right to speak in the French court.

Francois I did accept John Lafite, and planned to reuse him. But what makes Marin depressed is that because he is not sure whether Queen Anne is pregnant, what François I said is not very effective now. It was obvious that Francois I had given John Lafite a certain amount of authority, but those nobles who originally held real power did not allow John Lafite to fulfill the authority he had obtained in time.

Both John Lafite and Marin were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood - when Queen Anne was proved not to be pregnant and François I established his authority, the situation in Paris would have been relatively stable. At that time, there would not be such a good opportunity as now...

Today, John Lafite has been authorized by Francois I to assist in the management of the city defense and security of Paris. Originally, they should have a certain right to mobilize the city defense forces. Among them, the thousand city defense troops who mobilized Margaret's "mother and son" to protect Tudor.

But the problem is that Count Cesc, who is currently in charge of the city defense of Paris, is currently unwilling to hand over the safety of the city defense of Paris to the people of Francois I under the signal of Queen Anne. Obviously, Earl Cesc is also waiting for news from Queen Anne to see if Queen Anne is pregnant a month later...

Therefore, John Lafite currently has no title, but he can't really assist in the security of Paris' city defense, nor can he mobilize the group of city defense troops around Marguerite of Tudor.

Although in theory John Laffey got real power after more than a month,

There is also a chance to assassinate the "mother and son", but after the situation in Paris stabilizes, it will not be so easy to send a large number of assassins to sneak into Paris. After all, once the new king gains authority, the first thing to do is to get all the military power of the king's capital and run the king's capital into an iron bucket to ensure his own safety. So, if you want to do it, it's best to do it in the first two months...

Moreover, John Laffey heard that the woman Margaret of Tudor was very careful. During the period when the French monarchy was changing, she was extremely low-key and basically never went out, which made John Lafite and the spies of the North Sea State stationed in Paris feel very helpless.

Apparently, Margaret of Tudor was no fool and knew these were dangerous times. It's not just Marin who wants to do it, England actually wants to do it too. And Margaret of Tudor didn't know that Marin was going to attack her, but she knew that King Edward of England would definitely want her to die. Therefore, during this period of time, she kept a low profile and never went out unless necessary...

...

"What should I do? This woman is really difficult..." Marin frowned.

Assassins obviously dare not break into a barracks with thousands of people. This is not a nonsense martial arts movie, the assassin can fly around. Who dares to break into the thousand-man barracks?

If it was in the wild, Marin could send hundreds of assassins to take the forward soldiers in the barracks together. But this is in Paris!

There are at least a few thousand defenders in the city of Paris, and tens of thousands of people outside the city. Most of these were elites brought back from Louis XII's expedition to Italy, and ordinary assassins would not dare to mess around in front of them. Especially those knight lords, one-on-one, unless a sneak attack, those assassins basically can't fight head-on.

As for the thousands of people guarding the "mother and son" of Margaret in Tudor, it is said that there are 10 knight children serving as officers, which are very difficult to mess with. And the leading officer is said to be a baron...

"Baron... It seems that this point can be made into a fuss..."

So, Marin hurriedly asked someone to ask about the situation of the chief of the garrison in Paris.

Soon, the information came back - Baron Yogel, the leader of the city defense army, came from the countryside in western France, and was an ordinary baron with no background. However, a baron with no background can reach the level of a military formation leader in 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 get promoted.

If a big shot offered him an olive branch, as long as he wasn't a fool, he would generally choose to accept it. In particular, Marin intends to let John Lafite extend an olive branch to him in the name of François I...

Obviously, Francois I also needs support now. Because the throne is still uncertain, Francois I also urgently needs the support of the Paris City Defense Force. If there are enough city defense forces in the capital to support him, even if Queen Anne is pregnant, he can still control the overall situation. Even, the child conceived by Queen Anne can be eliminated.

Therefore, at this stage, Francois I needs the support of the military very much. And Baron Yogel, a middle-level officer of the Paris City Defense Army with thousands of troops, is obviously a good target to win over.

It would be reasonable if John Lafite approached François I in the name of helping him win over officers. Moreover, Baron Yogel did not dare to refuse. After all, Francis I was king. Although the throne is not yet stable, most people dare not offend. What if his throne is secured? While Queen Anne may or may not have been pregnant. Moreover, even if pregnant, it may be a girl. Even a boy may die...

In short, Francois I is very likely to win in the end, and most people dare not refuse his solicitation. Even if your position wavers and you don't want to accept it, you don't dare to refuse it directly. Before the results of Queen Anne's side come out, it is necessary for everyone to win over François I, even if they pretend to be false.

What Marin wants is Baron Yogel's promise, and then John Rafi can use his unique skills...

What trick? What is John Laffey most famous for? Château Lafite Bordeaux!

Once the wooing mode is activated, John Lafite can give Baron Jogail a large amount of Lafite wine as a gift in the name of a friend. Even, the thousand-man garrison under the baron...

Soldiers are very alcoholic. If John Lafite sends barrels of wine to this barracks to get the soldiers drunk... Then, the opportunity will come...

Ma Lin thought of Zhang Fei in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", who was quietly killed by his subordinates after he got drunk. If Marin asked John Lafite to drunk thousands of city defenders, including Baron Yogel, then it would be easier to send assassins to assassinate Tudor's Margaret "mother and son" ...
