A fleet arrived in Portsmouth, and to reduce costs, the fleet had warships, merchant ships and troop ships.

Their arrival triggered panic among the Royal Fleet, also stationed in Portsmouth Harbor. The reason was that this time the fleet carried 1,000 regular soldiers and 4,000 Indian soldiers.

Originally, Chu Yun was worried that the Far West Expeditionary Army would not have enough troops, so he temporarily drew cheap vassals from Kolkata to support the troops stationed in the West. He did not expect that the British Civil War would end early. Sun Chuanting and others joined forces with the King's Army to solve the problem of insufficient troops and restore order to England in advance.

This made the problem serious. England sent 5,000 soldiers to peacetime England, plus the original one thousand infantry and several thousand naval soldiers, the number of the Eastern Legion reached an astonishing tens of thousands.

This scale is even greater than that of England's army. Just as many countries in the continent questioned England's control, the increase in the port garrison at Portsmouth undoubtedly made these kingdoms confirm such a "fact".

"Who are these people? You sent so many soldiers without telling us, which will cause us a lot of trouble."

Sir Pennington, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Fleet, saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers wrapped in headscarves on the ship. Their appearance was different from those from the soldiers from China. They looked thin and looked at this strange land with curious eyes.

"I don't know why we sent so many people to the local area. But please rest assured, we have absolutely no malice." Zheng Zhibao, the acting commander of the Fourth Fleet, was also frightened by the formation in front of us.

The local people suddenly came here to support 5,000 people, which was not as expected!

When a troop transport ship carrying 5,000 soldiers arrived in Portsmouth, almost everyone knew how to deal with such an army.

"Is there really no malice?" Sir Pennington suspected that such an army could conquer the city of London at any time.

"When they get off the boat, I will ask them for their purpose." Zheng Zhibao said.

Several officers who led 5,000 troops to come took the lead and reported to Zheng Zhibao.

They were originally organized by the Far West Expeditionary Army and should have reported to Sun Chuanting, but now Sun Chuanting is in London, so they had to communicate with Zheng Zhibao first.

Zheng Zhibao heard that Chu Yun was worried that they could not handle the British civil war, so he asked Kolkata to send reinforcements, and then he understood what was going on.

However, Chu Yun was able to foresee a war here in advance, and such a skill was already very powerful. Although Chu Yun still underestimated the strength of his subordinates, the Civil War in Britain ended early.

"Our military commander, I had a premonition that King Charles would have a catastrophe, so I traveled thousands of miles to send an army to help King Charles. Unexpectedly, something happened to King Charles, and the war was over when the reinforcements arrived. So please don't worry, if you are worried, we can send this army back in batches." Zheng Zhibao was afraid that the English officers including Sir Pennington thought it was the army that invaded England, and had to explain to them patiently.

"Can your army leader have the same foresight ability as the Lord, and can predict that there will be a civil strife in England?" Sir Pennington and others were still surprised.

Without being notified, the east, thousands of miles away, could have predicted a catastrophe, and then sent troops to come in advance?

Unless Chu Yun is a god, how could he make a judgment in advance?

"Maybe we adults got clues from the oral narratives of the returned merchants and soldiers, so we made a similar judgment." Zheng Zhibao was not able to explain, so he had to say vaguely.

With the arrival of 5,000 people, how to deal with them is a difficult problem. After consultation with the Royal Fleet, the 5,000 new people stayed in Portsmouth for the time being.

Now Portsmouth has 20,000 soldiers and sailors, and together with the craftsmen of the shipyard, people from various industries serving the army have evolved into large towns with a population of more than 50,000.

As the garrison increased, the food supplied to these soldiers also increased. Fortunately, the cost of these vassal troops recruited from India was very low, and there was almost no need to pay military salaries. The monthly military salaries of 4,000 vassal troops were only equivalent to 400 to 500 regular imperial soldiers.

The English were very upset about these Indians who spoke strange languages. Compared with the carefully trained soldiers of the Chinese Empire, the Indian minions seemed to be a semi-finished product, and they did not pay attention to hygiene, which made the English not very well-known to them.

The English Parliament in the City of London also learned that another army was sent to the east, thousands of miles away, and they were also panicked about the continuous increase in troops from their former allies to England. In addition, the European countries began to circulate that England was controlled by the Orientals, and the English Parliament took the initiative to find Sun Chuanting, who was in charge of London, and asked him to ensure that the new army would not interfere in England's affairs.

"The purpose of our local 5,000 new people is to support King Charles. However, when this army arrived, the war between the King's Army and the Parliamentary Army had ended. We promised that this army would not leave the base voluntarily, and would not be used to deal with the English." Sun Chuanting assured them in the face of the hundreds of MPs in the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The members of the House of Lords and House of Commons looked at each other. They received Sun Chuanting's guarantee and could not let the 5,000 soldiers who had just arrived back immediately, for fear of arousing their dissatisfaction.

"If there is nothing wrong in the West, we will send the soldiers back to East India in batches. At the same time, if England has other enemies in Europe, our army can also be hired by you to join the war. My suggestion is to wait until Princess Sophia returns to the city of London before deciding whether this army will stay or stay. After all, the King of France may send troops to intervene in the throne and may be able to use our army."

"Our legion is stationed in Portsmouth, not only does not cause trouble, nor does it leave the station, but also promotes the development of local towns, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of tens of thousands of people, drives the local economy and promotes employment. In addition to the possible pressure on other European kingdoms, it is not harmful to England. Please believe our sincerity." Sun Chuanting continued to persuade the English Parliament.

Currently, two-thirds of the members of the English Parliament are royalists. Many members work with Sun Chuanting during the British Civil War. They negotiated with each other privately, intending to allow the 5,000 new people to be temporarily stationed in Portsmouth, and wait until Princess Sophia returns to England before deciding whether they will stay or not.

"Where is the ship that we sent East to greet Princess Sophia now?" The congressmen thought of a question.

"It should be in the Arabian Sea."
