Chapter 1462 Relying on Your Own Strength
"Hoo!" Sun Chuanting reined in the reins, and he could see the king's flag erected on the wall of Nottingham City from a distance.

Nottinghamshire is a county that supports the king. They support the king. Charles I successfully gained a foothold here and called on the nobles and gentry everywhere to serve the king.

"Mr. Sun, the king has been waiting for you for a long time!" A young man with several German knights waited for Li Jinde's arrival on the road outside the city.

Sun Chuanting recognized that person, King Charles' nephew, Prince Rupert after the election of the Holy Roman Empire.

After the establishment of the King's Army, the young Prince Rupert seems to have held an important position in the King's Army.

"Sorry for the late arrival at this time, how is His Majesty the King now?"

"His Majesty the King is fine now, but the number of soldiers coming from various places is not enough. More people who are willing to support the king are in the western and southwestern counties. The parliamentary army is preparing to march from London to Nottingham where the king is. It is reported that the parliamentary army The number has reached an astonishing 10000, and the number is still increasing. The king intends to move to Wales to gather more troops to fight." Prince Rupert took Sun Chuanting to the city and explained this to him. edge situation.

"The number of the parliamentary army has exceeded 1? How many troops has the king raised?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"There are only about 6000 people from the Royal Guards and the troops gathered from all over the world." Prince Rupert replied, "In addition to going to Wales to gather more militiamen, the king also wants to hire soldiers from the Netherlands and the German princes to go forward." Come to assist in the battle. Of course, if your troops stationed in Portsmouth Harbor can help us in the battle, we can say that we have a chance 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 against your people, it will not be good for our merchants to do business here."

"With His Majesty the King's endorsement for you, you will get the understanding of the people after the war. You don't need to worry about this." Prince Rupert still persuaded.

Sun Chuanting knew that a group of soldiers under him could rewrite the history of Britain, but now was not the time to act.The people who are most likely to be injured in the war are the civilians. If he leads soldiers from China to join the king's army now, it will cause resentment from the civilians during the war that lasts for several years, and it will be difficult to handle by then.

Charles I was in the city hall of Nottingham. He was overjoyed when he learned that Sun Chuanting had followed him as a military adviser, and he came out to meet them in person.

Now he can't wait to get as many chips as possible to overwhelm the parliament. The attitude of the Orientals is very important.

"I'm in London to handle some affairs, so I'm late, please forgive me, Your Majesty the King." Sun Chuanting clasped his fists and said.

King Charlie was already familiar with Eastern etiquette, so he just responded casually: "When can your troops join us?"

"I didn't bring any troops here..." Sun Chuanting saw Charles I, and the first thing Charles I said was his 1000 Far West Expeditionary Army soldiers.

Obviously Charles I knew that this small group of soldiers was the best of the best and could help him win the war with Parliament.

Charlie heard that Sun Chuanting didn't bring anyone here, so he couldn't help frowning slightly: "Mr. Sun, you said you were on our side. Now I am facing the betrayal of some nobles, and I urgently need a force to put down the rebellion. If I If I lose this war, all the treaties we signed before may be invalid, because after the defeat, I will lose a lot of power."

"Your Majesty the King, have you ever thought that if you use our eastern army instead of the king yourself to quell the rebellion in the parliament, will the councilors and nobles who were defeated by you be convinced after the war? Ordinary citizens and Will the peasants think that the king is using outsiders to quell domestic affairs and is suspected of colluding with foreign enemies? Please use your own strength to defeat the parliament to prove to us that you still have the ability to cooperate with us." Sun Chuanting asked Charles I Advise.

Charles I and many court ministers who followed him looked at each other in silence. Sun Chuanting's meaning was obvious, and the people on the other side also wanted to see if Charles I had the strength to suppress the parliament.If Charles I relied entirely on the Easterners and had no strength himself, it would be better for the Easterners to take over Britain, and the Easterners might not be willing to continue to play with him.

"Mr. Sun, what you said is not unreasonable. It is Pym, Hampton and others who have angered me, so that I am out of breath. At present, our king's army has 6000 people, and there is also a short-term training of the Royal Guards. Their combat effectiveness is stronger than the parliamentary army that relies on the militia and ordinary citizens as the main force, and I believe that we can also defeat the parliamentary army with our strength. I have already set up a banquet to welcome you, please come with me." Charlie thought. For such a reason, the parliament disgusted him, but he couldn't rely on the eastern army so quickly. If he couldn't put down the rebellion with his own strength, wouldn't there be groups of nobles and parliamentarians who would oppose him in the future?

Sun Chuanting followed Charles I into the city hall, and found that a grand banquet was indeed being prepared. The servants were putting all kinds of cooked birds and animals on the table, as well as wine from Spain and France.

Seeing their extravagant banquet, Sun Chuanting didn't look like it should have been before the war.

If the officers of the Kyushu Army were known by Chu Yun when they started the war, they would definitely be severely reprimanded, and they would definitely not hold a big banquet like Charlie.

"If my army is defeated, you will not stand by in the end? After all, we have signed a treaty, and I am your most loyal partner. As for the many demands of those people in the parliament, if they are in power, they will definitely make things difficult for you .” Charles I confirmed to Sun Chuanting worriedly 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 is really against you, the king, our army will definitely come forward."

"Then I'm relieved. Haha, it seems that my choice to cooperate with you is the right choice. After I put down the rebellion in the parliament, we will cooperate more extensively. You will also be my most loyal and reliable partner, Charlie. .To our victory and future, cheers!" Charles I clinked glasses with Sun Chuanting in a good mood.
