The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1715: Preferential rewards and purchase restrictions

The assassination of the English this time is considered a desperate fight. After all, Edward hopes that the English rebel organization will collapse, so that England can have a stable domestic environment. And if the "mother and son" of Margaret of Tudor were killed, whether it was England or Scotland, the domestic resistance forces would have no spiritual support and lost the need to resist.

This time, England sent a full 100 people, all masters of fighting, and all dead fighters. They all use the sailor's scimitar, and they are also very good at using the scimitar to fight in a small space. To put it bluntly, they are the masters of the sailors, and they are also a specialty of England, where there are many pirates.

These people came to Paris with the determination to die. In order to let them have no worries, Edward promised that if they died in battle, their sons would be canonized as knights of the fief. Moreover, as long as the heir is not extinct, the title will not be withdrawn. Of course, the premise is that they successfully kill Margaret and her son.

However, they don't really want to die. It would be best if he could escape successfully while completing the mission. Therefore, when the spies from Beihai State contacted them, they agreed to cooperate. In addition to having a chance of survival, Beihai's promise to use poisoned wine to bring down the city guards in the barracks was also the main reason why they agreed to cooperate. After all, if they storm the thousand-man barracks, there is a high chance of failure and all of them being killed.

It's just that they mistook the mysterious North Sea spy organization for the Spaniards. Because the English feel that only the Spaniards have the ability to have such a strong underground force in France. However, Memphis is unwilling to reveal his identity, and Shaw, the leader of the English assassins, doesn't care. Anyway, as long as the task is completed.

However, Shaw and his fellow English Assassins were skeptical that Memphis would be able to bring down all the city guards with the drugged drink. Because, this is thousands of people, it is impossible to drink a family's drinks at the same time, right? Moreover, even if thousands of city guards drink the wine in this tavern, the drugged wine will only be provided on the day of the operation, and not everyone will drink it. What if someone bought the drink the day before?

For this question, Memphis smiled, very confident, just let Xiaoer wait and see...

About ten days later, because he often went in and out of the city guard headquarters, John Lafite finally took down the city guard night watch duty list calmly, and sent a message to Memphis.

Memphis acted immediately, and then, the tavern on the side of the barracks, which was renamed the "God of War Tavern", grandly reopened...

...

The new tavern owner Bardles publicly stated that the God of War Tavern is dedicated to serving the soldiers of the nearby City Guard barracks. As long as you have a military number plate, you can enjoy the benefits of selling alcohol at the God of War Tavern within ten days before the opening of the tavern. The discount is 30% off, but it is limited, one pound per person per day...

Not a pound or a catty,

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to get drunk with such a little beer or wine. However, the wine at the Ares Tavern is obviously different...

The tavern directly adopts the blending method. Every time before selling wine, no matter whether it is beer or wine, it is always mixed with Erguotou. It's definitely not durable for storage like this, but it's okay, because the soldiers of the City Guards drink it after buying it, and it won't be kept for a long time.

And the measure of limiting purchases to one pound at a time is to prevent city guard soldiers from buying a lot at a time and drinking them slowly. And the amount of a pound of wine is calculated. If Erguotou is not mixed in, this beer or wine can basically be drunk as a drink and will not be kept until the next day. In this way, when the poison is poisoned the next day, there is no need to worry that these guys will not drink the poisoned wine of the day...

...

Of course, there are problems with doing so. For example, those city guard soldiers who drank a lot, because they were dissatisfied with the tavern's limited behavior, caused trouble in the tavern, and even beat people...

In this regard, Memphis strictly ordered the employees in the tavern to be beaten if they were beaten, but never increased! As for the reason? In other words, the purchase channel of new wine has not yet been negotiated, and the stock is not much, and it can only be limited for the time being. When the new purchase channel is negotiated, the supply will be open for three days, and the same 30% discount...

Relying on this gimmick, the officers and soldiers of the city guards in the nearby barracks calmed down after making a few noises. Moreover, they are very satisfied with the beer and wine that the new tavern offers with the addition of Erguotou.

This greatly enhanced mixed wine may not meet the tastes of those nobles and priests, but it definitely meets the tastes of these bold soldiers.

This group of big soldiers, can't wait to drink strong wine! However, because the salary is limited, and the price of spirits is often very expensive. Therefore, they usually can only drink some watery beer or poor wine.

But cheap wine is really bad. For example, the cheapest 1 gallon of Denier beer is almost all rancid beer, which is very bad. Wine is more expensive and cheap ones cost 3 Deniers a gallon. Generally only military officers of noble origin would drink wine. Ordinary soldiers generally only drink low-quality beer. Without him, without money...

This time the God of War Tavern is quite conscientious. You can buy a gallon of beer mixed with Erguotou for only 0.75 Denier. And, a good beer without rancidity. It's just that the tavern has a daily limit, and only allows one pound (about one-tenth of a gallon) to be purchased at a time, which makes everyone very upset.

But what these big soldiers didn't expect was that this kind of mixed wine tastes good to drink, but it has a lot of stamina. Most of the people who are not good at drinking, after drinking this kind of beer and white wine mixture, there is no problem at first, but they will soon get drunk and pass out...

But what this group of reckless soldiers love most is this state of drunken death. After all, living in the military camp, without the company of a wife and children, being drunk is very happy...

For five days in a row, the entire barracks was full of drunks, and only a small number of people who could drink well could stay sober. At first, the leader of the city guard, Baron Yogel, was a little nervous, feeling a little wrong. So, he wasn't drunk. But after 5 days, nothing happened, so he relaxed...

...

On the sixth day, the God of War Tavern suddenly announced that it would be closed for one day. The reason was that the stock was exhausted, and it would take the next day to bring in wine from other places.

Now the soldiers in the barracks quit. They kicked open the door of the tavern and entered the wine cellar to search. As a result, there was indeed no wine.

The owner of the tavern, Bardles, said with a smile - once the new wine arrives tomorrow, it will be open for three days, with no purchase limit!

This time, the group of big soldiers left with full expectation. But they don't know that death is coming...

...

The night of the seventh day was the day when there was no night duty in this barracks. All the means in the past few days were to wait for this day!

Moreover, the intentional closing of the door on the sixth day was also for the action on the night of the seventh day. Because Marin needs to let the soldiers in the barracks drink up the wine in stock first. Otherwise, they wouldn't immediately drink the poisoned wine of the day...

Moreover, there is only one day apart, and the preferential supply will be opened the next day. In this way, the soldiers in the barracks will wait patiently for a day instead of going to other places to buy wine. Because, a few days ago, their mouths were sloppy, and it was hard to get used to drinking ordinary wine for a while...

At about five o'clock in the afternoon the next day, a few carriages brought a lot of wine barrels from outside the city, which alarmed all the soldiers in the barracks...

"Haha, the wine is finally here! The supply is open today, and the price is still the same, and now it's released!" Many old alcoholics couldn't help but licked their lips...

Soldiers then swarmed in, scrambling to buy the new wine, buying more than a gallon each. In order to wait for today, many soldiers borrowed money from their well-off comrades yesterday.

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Come one by one, please show the soldier's number plate!"

The guys in the tavern were sweating profusely serving these soldiers, in a hurry. Even the commander, Baron Yogel, bought two gallons of wine. Of course, he took a special passage, and ordinary soldiers didn't dare to say anything.

After working for two or three hours, the tavern staff rested. At this time, the tavern owner asked in a low voice to a person who supervised the bookkeeping all the way:

"Have you counted them? How many people? Did they all come to buy?"

The bookkeeper nodded:

"About 1,000 people, only 35 people did not come to buy. I think, probably not in the barracks!" Because, usually there will always be soldiers who will ask for leave to go out to do errands or go home to visit relatives or something. In particular, the military discipline of this era is not as strict as that of later generations, and it is completely normal for some people to be absent.

And it doesn't matter if all 35 people are there and not drinking. Hundreds of English assassins, will chop them to pieces...

The tavern owner Bardles let out a long sigh of relief, and said:

"Okay, the mission is complete, let's withdraw!"
