Chapter 1506 The Scotsman's decision
If the descendants of this era were allowed to choose the most magnificent period of Britain in the 17th century, then the British Civil War would definitely be on the list.
In just a few years, too many things happened, breaking the tranquility of Britain. The first Eastern captain broke into the Thames, the king broke with the parliament, the king was killed, the throne inherited the war, and the Eastern people who maintained the principle of neutrality inadvertently changed the original historical changes of Britain beyond recognition.
When the Scottish Presbyterian Church knew that two parliaments emerged in England, each supporting different heirs of the throne, they could not relieve themselves for a long time.
Yes, it was Charles I who wanted to force the unification of England and Scotland and provoked a war with Scotland, but Charles I was the orthodox heir to the Stuart dynasty.
The history of the Stuart dynasty ruled Scotland is much older than that of England!
As early as three hundred years ago, the Stuart royal family began to rule Scotland. First, Charles I was the king of the Scots, and second, he was the king of the English and Irish more than thirty years ago!
If the English conspired to murder the king, it would be equivalent to slapping the Scottish in the face.
Edinburgh, the Scottish Presbyterian Church, is urgently discussing the murder of the king and the heir to the throne.
Ireland was a colony for England and Scotland and had no say in the United Kingdom. England simply sent an Irish governor to manage it locally.
But the Scots also have the right to decide their king, rather than letting the English have the final say.
Because England and Scotland are ruled by the Stuart dynasty, basically only one person can serve as the king of two kingdoms at the same time.
"The parliament in England said that the remnants of the gunpowder plot thirty years ago assassinated the king, which is simply nonsense! From who the final beneficiary can be seen, this must be a conspiracy planned by some MPs, and we must let them hand over the murderer!"
"It is a sure thing to let the English Parliament hand over the murderer to explain to us the Scottish people, but now it is time to make a decision on the heir to the throne as soon as possible. The parliament in London now chooses to support Princess Elizabeth, while the parliament in Oxford chooses Princess Sophia. King Charlie is not here, and if the parliament in Oxford is willing to negotiate with us, should we redefine our position?"
The Scottish Presbyterian Church was in a dispute. What they opposed was King Charlie's policy towards Scotland. Now that King Charlie is gone, whether Elizabeth or Sophia comes to power, they will definitely adjust their policy towards Scotland, and they seem to have to re-position.
"There will be someone in the city of London who murdered the king. It is really hard to believe whether they are really loyal to the royal family. I think it is better to send someone to contact the parliament in Oxford. If Queen Sophia comes to power, they can guarantee our Scotland's freedom of belief and no longer interfere, and we can choose to withdraw from the war in England." An elder of the lord and sect expressed the voice of some elders.
The murder of Charles I made them feel distrustful of the parliament in London, and the Oxford parliament of the Kings Army showed a compromise side, which gave the Scots new ideas.
"But we have joined forces with the parliamentary army in the Marston wasteland, causing considerable casualties to the King's army. Is the Oxford parliament willing to forgive us?"
"They defeated us in the Marston wasteland, and the Earl of Levin and the Parliamentary Army could not win. Our participation in the war was just a joke. If we had won a big victory before, they might not have forgiven us, but if we failed, they would rather be willing to forgive our actions."
"How do we explain to the Council of London? We have signed a sacred oath with them. According to the treaty, we should stand on the same front with them."
"The council in London has conspired to murder the king, and wants us to stand on the same front with them? Besides, if we cannot defeat the King's army, the divine oath is useless."
"It's better to temporarily let the pledge army stop continuing to intervene in the war in England. We wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision. How about?"
The discussion in Edinburgh was soon fed back to the pledge army located on the border between England and Scotland.
Earl Living, who led the oath army, received the advice of the Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian Church changed its position because of the murder of the king, which was nothing to be surprised about for Earl Levin.
War was originally for political service, and the Presbyterian Church just wanted to get what it wanted from the war. As a mercenary who complied with the Presbyterian Church, when the master behind him asked for a temporary truce, he could only obey unconditionally.
The situation in England is not clear now, with three heirs in the throne appearing at the same time, and two parliaments.
Without Charles I, the main contradiction is equivalent to the disappearance of the main contradiction, and the current contradiction has become the issue of inheritance of the throne.
Obviously, both the London Parliament and the Oxford Parliament want each other to be defeated and become the winner of the war.
"From today, our Scottish Vow Army will temporarily stop intervening in the war between you and the Kings Army and stand by at the border."
Earl of Levin found the officers of the parliamentary army such as Cromwell and Fairfax who were joining forces with him and announced the news that was against them.
When Cromwell, Fairfax and other officers from the parliamentary army heard the news, they seemed to be suffocating.
The King's Army had the help of the Irish Legion and the Orientals, and the Scots, the only relied on, actually declared neutrality at this time? This was simply a detriment of the fall!
"Earl Levin, you need to understand what you are doing. We regret the matter of King Charles, but although King Charles is not here, the royalists who support them most often hold the same view as King Charles, and they must be defeated in order to limit the king's power." Cromwell tried to convince Earl Levin.
"If they win, their parliament will manage England, you Scotland will also be affected, because the king has always appointed ministers to manage your affairs, and there are many king's confidants among your MPs!" Fairfax did not want the Scots to withdraw from the war.
