The first thousand four hundred and sixty-one chapters rely on their own strength
"Wow!" Sun Chuanting tied the reins, and he could see the king's flag erected on the walls of Nottingham.
Nottingham County was a county that supported the king. They supported the king. Charles I successfully gained a firm foothold here and called on the nobles and squire in various places to serve the king.
"Mr. Sun, the king has been waiting for you for a long time!" A young man and several German knights were waiting for Li Jinde's arrival on the road outside the city.
Sun Chuanting recognized that man, King Charles' nephew, Prince Rupert after the election of the Holy Roman Empire.
After the founding of the King's Army, the young Prince Rupert seemed to hold an important position in the King's Army.
"I'm sorry that I'm late at this time. How is His Majesty the King now?"
"His Majesty the King is now very good, but the number of soldiers coming from all over the country is not enough. More people willing to support the king are in the counties in the west and southwest. The parliamentary army is preparing to march from London to Nottingham, where the king is located. It is reported that the number of parliamentary army has reached an astonishing 10,000 people, and the number is still increasing. The king intends to move to Wales to summon more troops to fight." Prince Rupert walked into the city and explained the situation to him.
"The number of the parliamentary army has exceeded 10,000? How many troops has the king raised now?" asked Sun Chuanting.
"The Royal Guards and people gathered from all over the country, only about 6,000 people." Prince Rupert replied. "In addition to going to Wales to summon more militias, the king also wanted to hire soldiers to assist in the war in the Netherlands and the German princes. Of course, if your troops stationed in Portsmouth can help us fight, we can say that we are sure to win." Prince Rupert said.
Sun Chuanting shook his head: "We try to maintain a neutral attitude in your civil war. If we use force with your people, this will not help our businessmen to do business here."
"Your Majesty the King endorses you, and you will also receive the understanding of your people after the war, and you do not need to worry about this." Prince Rupert still persuaded.
Sun Chuanting knew that a group of soldiers under his command could rewrite the history of Britain, but it was not a chance to take action now. The most vulnerable person to the war was civilians. If he led soldiers from China to the king's army now, it would have aroused resentment from civilians during the war that lasted for several years, and it would be difficult to deal with.
Charles I was in the Town Hall in Nottingham. He was overjoyed when he knew that Sun Chuanting had followed him as a military adviser and came out to greet them in person.
He now wants to get as many chips as possible to overwhelm the parliament, and the attitude of the Orientals is very important.
"I am handling some affairs in London City, so I am late. Please forgive me, Your Majesty the King." Sun Chuanting said with his fists.
King Charlie was already familiar with the etiquette of the East, and just responded casually: "When will your troops meet with us?"
"I didn't bring my troops here..." When Sun Chuanting saw Charles I, the first thing Charles I did was his 1,000 soldiers from the Far West Senders.
Obviously, Charles I knew that this small number of soldiers was the elite of the elite and could help him win the war with the parliament.
When Charlie heard that Sun Chuanting did not bring anyone to him, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "Mr. Sun, you said that you were on our side. Now I am facing the betrayal of some nobles against me. I urgently need a force to quell the rebellion. If I lose in this war, all the treaties we signed before may be invalid, because after the defeat, I will lose a lot of power."
"His Majesty, your Majesty, have you ever thought that if you use our Eastern army now, instead of your own power, you will pacify the rebellion of the Parliament, will the members and nobles who were defeated by you after the war be convinced? Will ordinary citizens and peasants think that you are using outsiders to calm down domestic affairs and are suspected of colluding with foreign enemies? Please, your Majesty, you will defeat the Parliament with your own power to prove to us that you still have the ability to cooperate with us." Sun Chuanting advised Charles I.
Charles I was silent with many court ministers who followed him. Sun Chuanting's meaning was very obvious. The other party also wanted to see if Charles I had the strength to suppress the parliament. If Charles I relied entirely on the Orientals and had no strength, it would be better for the Orientals to accept Britain, and the Orientals might not be willing to continue to take him to play with him.
"Mr. Sun, what you said is true. Pim, Hampton and others have angered me so much that I was so angry. At present, our King's Army has 6,000 people, and the Royal Guards Regiment, which has been trained for a short time. Their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Parliamentary Army, which relies on militia and ordinary citizens as the main force. I believe that with our strength, we can defeat the Parliamentary Army. I have set up a banquet to welcome you, please come in with me." Charlie thought that this is the reason. The Parliament made him disgusted, but he could not rely on the Eastern army so quickly. If he could not suppress the rebellion with his own strength, wouldn't there be a group of nobles and MPs oppose him in the future?
Sun Chuanting followed Charles I to the town hall and found that it was indeed preparing a grand banquet inside. The servants were placing all kinds of cooked birds and animals on the dining table, as well as wine from Spain and France.
When Sun Chuanting saw their luxurious banquet, he didn't seem to be like before the war.
If Chu Yun knew about this when the officers of the Jiuzhou Army were starting a war, they would definitely be scolded and would never hold a big banquet like Charlie.
"If my army was defeated, you wouldn't stand by in the end, right? After all, we signed a treaty, and I am your most loyal partner. As for the many demands of those people in the parliament, if they were put in power, they would definitely make things more difficult for you." Charles I still confirmed to Sun Chuanting after the banquet.
This time he asked Sun Chuanting alone in a low voice. Seeing that there was no one around, Sun Chuanting replied: "When the situation really does not benefit you from the king, our army will definitely stand up."
"Then I'm relieved. Haha, it seems that my choice to cooperate with you is the right choice. After I quell the rebellion of the parliament, we will cooperate more extensively. You will also be my most loyal and reliable partner. Cheers for our victory and future!" Charles I was in a good mood and clinked glasses with Sun Chuanting.
