"Charlie wants to buy artillery from us...What do you think about this?" Sun Chuanting looked at Zheng Zhibao.

"If we can sell artillery to Charlie, if we can help Charlie maintain his rule, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for us, and it depends on how we choose. The artillery sold can also be a more backward artillery. As long as it performs better than the artillery they use, Charlie will probably be satisfied, and we can also make a profit from it." Zheng Zhibao has nothing to do with it.

"Can you produce more inferior artillery?" Sun Chuanting looked at the experts who produced artillery they brought.

The artillery experts complained that others were trying to produce better quality artillery, but now his superiors wanted to make him produce worse artillery.

"If you really want to think about it, you just need to use worse steel when casting the cannon, or remove some parts...there are many methods." said the artillery expert.

"Then we can produce a batch of artillery specifically for Charlie that is of worse quality than ours but better than the artillery they use now to satisfy Charlie's vanity. I just hope that Charlie will not fall into the Civil War in Britain as the army leader foresaw, otherwise we will be ruined if we invest so much silver in him." Zheng Zhibao said.

"Charlie wants not only artillery, but also me to help train his Royal Guards. However, the backward mesh gun was eliminated by us a few years ago. I can only help them train military discipline and queues." Sun Chuanting said.

"Isn't this a good thing for us? At least Charlie has an infantry regiment loyal to him, which is conducive to maintaining his rule, and it is more at ease for us."

"Who knows whether he can settle the matter in Parliament? London City has been a little uneasy recently."

Chinese officers and businessmen in London all noticed the strange atmosphere in London.

The Scottish Commission had stayed in London longer than expected, and they later left London.

After receiving the promise of Charles I's armistice compensation, the 20,000 pledge army withdrew from the occupied English territory and returned to the Scottish border. However, the 1980s did not mean to disband. Leslie, who became the Earl of Levin, still served as the commander of the 1980s. It was obvious that he was not at ease with Charles.

Western companies' factories began to lay equipment and steam engines for producing artillery, which was the first time they produced artillery in Europe. They usually transported them directly to Europe from their homeland for resupply, and they could use the machines and talents they brought to make artillery here without restricting the provision of coal and iron ore.

Soon, the news that King Charlie ordered 7 6-pound field artillery from the Orientals reached the ears of opposition MPs, which further aroused the uneasiness of opposition MPs.

The king hired Orientals to train troops and produce artillery. No one knew who the king wanted to use to deal with after he had such an elite infantry regiment. Or King Charlie could use it against anyone who was against him.

The Scottish Vow Army secretly contacted the members of the English opposition. After learning that Charles I had spent a lot of money and hard work to build a royal guard regiment loyal to him, the Vow Army was even more worried and even regretted not restricting the king from establishing an army on the armistice treaty. However, even if they proposed such conditions, King Charles would not agree.

Some rumors began to appear in the city of London, some were saying that Charles I planned to launch the second Scottish War, and some were saying that Charles I was approaching the Roman Catholic Church and planned to establish the same system as France. The rumors were not only Charles I, but also affected the favorite Earl of Strafford.

Originally, Count Stratford was one of the leaders of the opposition's parliament ten years ago, but after Charles I tempted him, Count Stratford became a loyal royalist figure. He was obviously his own person, but was bought by the king ten years ago, which made a group of staunch opposition members such as Pim and Hampton particularly resentful to him.

It has begun to be circulated in the city of London that Count Stratford used iron fist to rule the local natives when he was Governor of Ireland, and his domineering taxation behavior has also been widely criticized.

In order to maintain the Royal Navy, Charlie needed to collect ship taxes. In order to raise the costs of the Royal Army, Charlie needed to collect national protection taxes. Earl of Stratford began to use forced means to collect them.

The royal family's finances are really not optimistic. Although the royal family earns hundreds of thousands of pounds every year, the maintenance of huge royal land and buildings also requires a large amount of expenses, and the cost of maintaining the royal navy is even greater. In fact, the ship tax collected by Charlie gave the bottomless navy to the bottomless pit.

Although Charlie never mentioned the resumption of parliament, petitions from all over the country were still spread to Charlie's desk.

Many members of the City of London who advocated the restoration of parliament began to lead citizens to demonstrate in front of the palace. However, Charles I still ignored them.

"There have been rumors in London that are not good for you recently. I think it may be Pim and his group of people who are doing something behind the scenes." Count Straffor asked.

"What else can they make? I am the king. When the Royal Guards' training is in place, I will definitely not let everyone who oppose me. From next month, I can give them a high salary to make them more loyal to me. Officers from the East are training them. I believe that soon I will have a group of loyal soldiers to help me defeat the Scottish pledge army." Charles I scoffed at the movements of the opposition MPs and was not worried.

"But His Majesty the King, the MPs are inciting the people of London City, which will affect your rule. According to my private investigation, most of the Counties in the north and west are supported by you. As for the Counties in the south and east, the majority of the MPs oppose you, including the City of London. If we are not careful of the every move of the MPs in London City, we may have to leave the important city of London City and go to local cities to find assistance." Earl Straffor reminded.

"There is nothing to worry about. The Royal Guards were trained by Astraley and Sun Chuanting outside London. They were able to protect us from leaving London safely when something happened." Charles I was still dissatisfied with the Earl of Stratage, but cared about taxes. "How are the ship tax and national protection tax collected?"
