When the Scottish Commission arrived in London, it was welcomed by many MPs and the people of London, which made them feel that they were not here to ask for compensation, but returned triumphantly...

This strange feeling made Leslie, the commander-in-chief of the Scottish Vow Army, laugh and cry. Those who don’t know thought it was the English army that won the Scottish army.

Negotiations with King Charles I were held in the palace, and the two sides compromised on the issues of armistice and compensation.

The Scottish Commission put forward three conditions: one is the armistice between England and Scotland, the second is to abolish the bishops that Charles I forcibly established in Scotland, respect the beliefs of the Scots, and the third is that Charles I need to compensate the Scots for the total losses of the war of £300,000.

Regarding these three conditions, Charles I, who was eager to get the pledge army to withdraw from England, obviously learned his lesson and agreed to them all. The only convenience to strive for was the compensation for the Scots. 300,000 pounds were not paid in one go, but were divided into equal payments for five years.

The Scottish Commission had expected Charles I to complain or be reluctant to pay £300,000 in compensation, but Charles I easily agreed to this clause, which made them even more weird.

What happened to the City of London?! When Leslie, who was in the Scottish Council, saw that the City of London was welcomed by them, the king was even more anxious to give him money. Is this really a scene that the loser should have?

"This is not compensation, it is brotherly aid. If £300,000 can make the Scots live a better life, then you can take it. I apologize to a million Scottish people for my previous barbarity." Charles I held the hands of the Scottish messengers and almost burst into tears.

The Scottish messengers were all at a loss. My God, is this the King Charles they knew?

"General Leslie, I plan to appoint you as the first Earl of Levin." Charles I extended an olive branch to Leslie, who was nearly 60 years old.

Leslie was completely shocked. He was not a nobleman, but an illegitimate son of a Scottish militia captain, an illiterate son. He had been in the Netherlands and the Swedish army for 30 years before he gradually became a great soldier, became a Swedish field marshal, and once served as the northern army King Gustav II.

After returning to Scotland, although he served as commander-in-chief in the Vowed Army, his origin was still an embarrassing thing for him, especially when a large number of officers were later served by nobles, his origin seemed quite humble.

The only person who has the power to make a nobleman is Charles I, who serves as the King of England and the King of Scotland.

Now King Charles wants to create a title of Count Levin for him, which makes him and his family stand out!

He will not be an illegitimate son, but the first Earl of Living in Scotland, and his eldest son will be able to inherit the throne and become the second Earl of Living in the future.

There are not many people who can allow Charles I to establish the throne of Earl himself!

Even Leslie, who had served as the Swedish Field Marshal, had to admit that his status as a noble was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.

"His Majesty the King, it is honored to be your appointment. After the two countries are peaceful and the bishop is abolished, Scotland will remain a subject under your rule. I hope that the two countries will be friendly forever." Seeing that Charles I seemed to have the determination to negotiate with Scotland, Leslie gave out such a valuable "gift", and of course he accepted it without hesitation.

Charles I seemed to be very satisfied with Leslie's response, and signed a final armistice treaty with members of the Scottish Council. He personally sent the members of the Scottish Council to leave the palace and asked about their well-being.

Count Straffor looked at the leaving Scottish Commission and said to Charles I: "His Majesty King, why don't you find a way to delay the peace talks? If the Scots were dragged out without a temper, they would reduce the compensation of the treaty by themselves. At that time, we can send them away without paying 300,000 pounds. And give Leslie a title of Count, who is your enemy of King..."

"If they are not sent out as soon as possible, their pledge army will pay them an extra 850 pounds of compensation for every one more day on the land of England, and those in the parliament do not know what demonstrations will be held during the negotiations. Send them away as soon as possible, and after my Royal Guards become trustworthy under the training of the Eastern officers, I will attack Scotland again and take back all my losses. As for the title of Earl, it is just to stabilize Leslie's false title. The Battle of Newcastle made me understand many things, and the most important thing is to have strength, and to learn to endure before they are not capable." Charles I also saw members of the Scottish Council return to their residence, feeling complicated.

If Newcastle was the lesson that Charlie learned at a cost, then the price was too great, so big that he needed to borrow £400,000 from his foreign allies.

The members of the Scottish Commission returned to their temporary residence in London, and they still couldn't believe that the negotiations had ended so easily.

Not only did King Charles not get furious, but instead signed a final armistice treaty with them "kindly and kindly", paying them 300,000 pounds in compensation, and also granting Leslie, who led the oath army, to become the earl.

This script is completely different from what they imagined. In their imagination, King Charles would be furious and condemned their vows to betray their king. As a result, the king was not only not angry, but was more enthusiastic.

"Lord, why do this city of London reveal strangeness and something wrong? I think we should return to Scotland as soon as possible."

"The king is so nice to us, but I think we are Scotland doing something wrong. This feeling is even more uncomfortable than losing in a battle."

The envoys from Scotland felt that something was wrong with London.

"It's really strange. What happened in the city of London... Earl Levin, I actually became an earl." Leslie, who was born as an ordinary soldier, could not react a little.

No matter how badly Charles I was not won by the people of Scotland, he was still the king of Scotland in name. His appointment would be recognized by the noble circle, and he would be able to join the ranks of Scottish nobles.

"Sir, former MP Pim, Hampton, came to visit," a Scottish escort guarding outside the door reported.
