Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1497
"Thanks to your heroic fighting, we can turn defeat into victory and reverse the situation in one fell swoop. You will be the pillars of the kingdom!"

Shortly after the end of the battle at Marston Moor, Charles I personally brought a group of guards to York City to inspect the victorious king's army.

The morale of the current king's army is high, each of them holds their heads up high, and the victory of the battle has greatly boosted their confidence, which is completely different from before!

"The knights and soldiers are willing to fight desperately for you, the king!" Prince Rupert and a group of noble officers attributed the credit to Charles I.

Charles I was very satisfied with this result, and he was in high spirits. His previous worries about losing his life because he was worried about being defeated by the parliament disappeared.

It seems that the future of the King's Army is bright. Some neutral towns have already defected to the King's Army. Perhaps in a few months, the King's Army will be able to organize a stronger army to attack the city of London.Once the City of London surrendered, the king was almost certain to win.

"Mr. Sun, if you can help me capture the city of London, I can conduct more extensive trade and cooperation with you in the east, and auction some of the land of opposition members to you. You can use it as factories, grow crops, or mine on it. .” Charles I was in a good mood, and he generously made many promises.

How lucky that Sun Chuanting helped him win, and he didn't need to pay for additional mercenary troops, but only had to pay one more person's salary.

"The war is not over yet. The parliament still has a large number of territories and troops. The king must be vigilant and be careful not to capsize in the gutter." Sun Chuanting said.

"Now that we have the absolute advantage, all are rumored that a wizard from the East has used Eastern witchcraft to give knights and infantry victory. And of course our brave Rupert, whose cavalry Let the parliament be frightened, no one can resist the sharpness of the cavalry he leads." Charles I praised them.

Because of the Battle of Marston Wasteland and the series of battles that followed, Sun Chuanting and Rupert, who mainly commanded the battle, became notorious and shocked the enemy.

In fact, Irish Governor Leicester and another cavalry officer Wilmot performed well in the battle, but people with special identities are more likely to become the focus of discussion, especially Sun Chuanting, who is the first king from the far east. Serving officers, and as the king's nephew, Prince Rupert's notoriety naturally spread in the parliamentary camp. The king's army became stronger and stronger, and no one in northern England was their opponent.

In order to protect the city of London, the main force of the parliamentary army was unable to divide their forces to go north, and they were in a very passive situation.

This is why Charles I is full of confidence now, and the space for the parliament to maneuver is getting smaller and smaller. As the general trend goes, they will gradually be defeated one by one.

"It is my honor to serve His Majesty the King!" Prince Rupert said respectfully.

Charles I took a few knights to inspect the barracks in York City, and there was another burst of cheers. He was honored in front of the soldiers with high morale. This is what he has always dreamed of!
"Mr. Sun, with the current situation, I think we can end the fighting this year." Prince Rupert maintained an optimistic attitude like Charles I, and said to Sun Chuanting when he accompanied Charles I to inspect the army.

"If there are no accidents, the battle should be over this year." Sun Chuanting also made a similar judgment.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no problem in ending the war within a year.

The king has the banner of Charles I on his side, and he has an advantage in military strength. His confidence has doubled. Towns and gentry nobles who hold a neutral position have joined the king's army, and the income of the king's army has also increased.

Unless something unexpected happens, there is no reason why Parliament can turn the tables.Continental countries are busy fighting, and it is unlikely that many soldiers will be sent to participate in the civil war in Britain.What's more, if France and other countries support the parliament, it will definitely cause unanimous xenophobia among the English, and it will only speed up the process of the king's army unifying England.

What other surprises could bring Parliament back?Sun Chuanting couldn't think of it for the time being.

"In two days, I will return to Oxford to pacify some counties in the southwest that support the parliament. Then in July, we will divide into two groups to form a siege to the city of London from the west and north, and wipe out the rebellion in the parliament in one fell swoop." Charlie I made a plan for the next action of the king's army.

"We have almost no opponents in the north. The Scots and the Eastern Union Army have been defeated by us several times. More and more people have joined our King's Army. Our strength has reached 2.3. I am willing to follow the King and return Oxford, help to pacify the forces in the southwestern counties, and the north will be handed over to Mr. Sun and the Governor of Ireland." Prince Rupert said.

"Your Majesty the King, you lack a strong general. Prince Rupert should be able to assist you in attacking the southwestern counties." Sun Chuanting agreed to let Prince Rupert go south to assist Charles I in attacking some towns in the south that support the parliament.

If all the southwestern counties were controlled by the king's army, only a quarter of the territory controlled by the parliament would remain.

At that time, with three-quarters of the land and population of the king's army attacking a town with only a quarter of the land and population, they can be completely defeated no matter what.

"Rupert, then you can go south with me." Charles I said.

"I will definitely destroy all the towns that support the parliament and betray you!" Prince Rupert replied.

"Keep being brave tactically, but be cautious tactically, remember." Sun Chuanting urged Prince Rupert before leaving.

With his experience, he can indeed serve as Prince Rupert's teacher, and he also attaches great importance to Prince Rupert who dares to fight and rush.

"I will follow your teachings all the time." Prince Rupert said respectfully.

"And bring 3000 cavalry to the south to quickly level the southwestern counties and resolve the battle." Sun Chuanting readily handed over the 3000 cavalry to Prince Rupert.

In the battle of the Marston Wasteland, they captured many cavalry from the parliamentary army, and more militiamen joined the king's army, so he had sufficient troops.

The King and Prince Rupert left York City with 3000 cavalry from the Northern Army, and their Southern Army also needed to defeat the local troops in the southwestern counties as soon as possible.

"There shouldn't be any accidents..." For some reason, when the victory was almost at hand, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt worried, "No, I must have thought too much. With the current situation, it is impossible for the parliament to come back."
