Chapter 1504 The princess is ours

Because the King's Army needed to retrieve major noble officers from all over the country to discuss the heir to the throne, this delay made the parliament in London take the lead in announcing that it would support Princess Elizabeth, who now lives in The Hague in the Netherlands, as Queen of Britain, and temporarily rule in place of the young Princess Anne, and wait until Princess Anne becomes an adult and then crowned as king to deal with the turbulent situation in England and Scotland.

The parliament even sent ships to the Netherlands to welcome Princess Elizabeth in exile, preparing to bring Princess Elizabeth back to England to take office as queen.

At the same time, they announced that the assassination of King Charles was suspected to be the remnants of the "Gunpowder Conspiracy" organization more than 30 years ago. When the new queen ascended the throne, she would form a special team to investigate. The citizens of London were temporarily appeased, and some of them did believe the words of the parliament, because the gunpowder conspiracy was still fresh in memory of many old people at that time.

After learning that the Parliament had decided the heir to the throne in advance, the King's Army was in a panic. If the King's Army lost the king's flag, the King's Army might be accused of being a rebel by the Parliament!

"Damn it! Those guys in the parliament, the organizers of the gunpowder conspiracy, were already beaten by the king in one go. How could it be that they were plotting to murder the king!" Some royalists who supported King Charles were very angry.

They accused the Parliament of murdering the king, but they were transferred to a disappeared organization, and the Parliament also established a new king on its own.

"No one of our King's Army is qualified to coordinate the overall situation, so I suggest that our King's Army should also form its own parliament! We have nobles from various counties here, many of whom were also members of parliament before they went to parliament to dissolve. We can form a second parliament to confront the parliament in London. We can call them the parliament of London, and we are the parliament of Oxford." Prince Rupert proposed to everyone as a prince in this critical moment.

Once the proposal to establish a second parliament was proposed, it was immediately supported by the royalists!

They realized that the situation of the King's Army is very dangerous. The London Parliament has tried to compete for the king's flag, and they also need to compete for the identity of the Parliament.

Many of the nobles and gentry who originally supported the king turned out to be members of parliament, and they could have a different team. Without a king to lead them, they needed an institution to temporarily exercise the king's power.

Soon the Kings Army formed a temporary Oxford Parliament based on the counties they represented and declared to England and Scotland that the Oxford Parliament was the parliament recognized by the royal family!

They also need a nominal spiritual leader!

Because Princess Elizabeth had been stolen by the parliament in advance, the King's Army without the support of the navy could not compete with the parliament to welcome Princess Elizabeth, and the choices they faced were Princess Anne and Princess Sophia.

"As long as the Oxford Parliament recognizes the treaty we signed with King Charles and continues to maintain covenant relations with our East, we will have no additional conditions and generously support you in defeating the parliamentary army, making the Oxford Parliament a real parliament and Princess Sophia a real queen!"

Sun Chuanting took the initiative to support Princess Sophia in Oxford Parliament, so that almost all members of the parliament knew the determination of this officer from the East.

Many members of Oxford Parliament were moved when they heard Sun Chuanting say that they had no additional conditions and just wanted to maintain their cooperative relationship with Charles I before.

They supported Charles I and did not take the treaty signed by Charles I and the Orientals seriously. If the Eastern army represented by Sun Chuanting just wanted to maintain the previous treaty, then supporting Princess Sophia as the queen of the United Kingdom would not be unacceptable.

"To show our sincerity, our infantry and fleet stationed in Portsmouth will immediately launch an action, join forces with our King's Army to attack London City, disband the London Parliament, and arrest the opposition members. From then on, the Oxford Parliament will become a new parliament, and Princess Sophia will inherit the will of her brother and ascend the throne to the throne in London City," Sun Chuanting said coldly.

The statement that he could send troops immediately made all the members of Oxford Parliament even more unable to withstand the temptation.

If the Eastern Army stationed in Portsmouth were dispatched, the Civil War in Britain might end soon, and they would replace the London Parliament as the official Parliament, and then auction the property of the members of the London Parliament and replace it. They would be the biggest beneficiaries of the war - on the contrary, if defeated by the London Parliament, their property would be auctioned.

"But even if Princess Sophia was studying in the East, it was not yours. Your army suddenly joined our civil war, which was unjust, but would become a handle for the London Parliament. If they declare you as foreign enemies, then the people of England and Scotland would regard you as enemies. Even if our Oxford Parliament supports you to intervene in the war, we cannot bear the anger of so many people... You should understand the difference, right?" said an earl.

Sun Chuanting was silent for a moment. He knew that he could not easily intervene in the civil war in Britain, otherwise he would become a public enemy of 7 million residents of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. At that time, this bridgehead in Europe would be lost.

Unlike the indigenous kingdoms in the Pacific, national consciousness has been formed here, and it is difficult to use force to conquer here forcibly.

"What if I say... Princess Sophia has a deeper relationship with us?" Sun Chuanting said tentatively.

"Oh?" This time, the members of the Oxford Parliament couldn't help but be surprised. What is Princess Sophia's relationship with the East besides studying in the East?

Sun Chuanting glanced at Astley. After understanding, Astley stood up and said to many congressmen: "Our king once asked the consul of the Eastern Empire for marriage before his death, so...they are the princess's parents' home in the east, so it is natural to send troops for Princess Sophia's throne."

After this unknown news came out, it was in an uproar. All the members of the Oxford Parliament stood up in surprise, as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing.

The royal marriages were carried out between royal families and nobles in various countries. There was never a marriage between princesses and orientals without aristocratic status!

Although Chu Yun refused the marriage, in order to seek greater benefits in Britain, Sun Chuanting had to use this name to send troops to capture the city of London first, and then clarify the facts. Anyway, the situation was already done by then, and the London Parliament would not cause any storm.

He just announced this without authorization whether he would be punished by Chu Yun after returning to the local area... Sun Chuanting suddenly felt a little afraid that he might be over when he was going back to the local area.
