Chapter 1500 Who will be the King of Britain
"The king and the two little princes were both killed. Is this a disaster that God has sent to our Britain?"

In the headquarters of the King's Army, all the ministers, nobles, and squires mourned for the royal family's disaster. The sky over the King's Army, which was originally in good shape, was clouded.They couldn't imagine that the parliament used such despicable means to win, and almost wiped out the royal family.In their tradition of consecrating their kings, such a practice would cause all England and Scots to rage!
This is undoubtedly a heavy and huge blow to the king's army. Now only Queen Henrietta and the two-year-old little Princess Anne are left in the royal family.

"We also have Princess Anne, according to the principles of succession in England and Scotland, Princess Anne can be king, she can be queen of England and Scotland, just like Queen Elizabeth. She can still lead us to defeat Parliament and bring Britain to gold era."

Prince Rupert almost held back his anger, and said the above words in a calm tone as much as possible.

But all the ministers, noble officers, squires, and knights present could hear the anger in Prince Rupert's words.

If a parliamentary army appeared now, he would lead the knights to kill the opponent without hesitation, regardless of whether the opponent had set a trap!

"Yes, we still have our little princess. She can inherit the will of the king and become the queen of our England and Scotland, and lead us to defeat the parliament!" Almost all the ministers, nobles, and squires looked at each other. Support the new king or queen to stabilize the morale of the army.

The only remaining blood of Charles I is the two-year-old Princess Anne, who will be the only legal heir of the two kingdoms and the only hope of the king's army.

"I will not allow you to make her the Queen of England! You Englishmen are as despicable as pirates, and you are ruthless in order to win the war! I will bring her back to France and raise her safely!" After being hit, she remained silent The vociferous Queen Henrietta burst into a yelp when she heard the nobleman intending to make her only daughter Queen of England.

"Your Majesty, now is the time of life and death for our England. Fifty thousand soldiers are waiting for a new king to lead us to defeat the parliament and severely punish the murderer who assassinated the king. Please don't refuse. Before the little princess becomes the queen, it is up to you for the time being." Lead us, we can definitely defeat the parliament, and the situation is very good for us now..." the ministers persuaded.

If Queen Henrietta brought the only blood of Charles I back to France, then things would be more than bad!

First of all, the king's army has no spiritual support, and can no longer attack the parliament in the name of the king. Secondly, the sole heir of the British king is protected by France. In the future, France may also participate in the British civil war, making the situation in Britain even more complicated!

"I don't care what's going on with you Britannia! I've had enough of this place!"

No matter how good the ministers and nobles tried to persuade, the stimulated queen insisted on bringing Princess Anne back to France, and never wanted to stay in England again.

"We can't convince the queen, and Princess Anne can't do without her. What should we do? Are we going to use coercive means to keep Princess Anne?"

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to let Princess Anne and the queen be separated. Maybe Princess Anne's personality will become weird in the future. If the current responsibility is pursued at that time, none of us will be able to get away from it."

The ministers and nobles were all tangled and panicked.

They had to place their hopes on a few people who could barely manage the overall situation—Prince Rupert, chief military and political officer Astley, and several earls who were deeply trusted by the king.

"It is estimated that the news of the accident with the king and the royal family has been widely circulated. Before the heir is determined, the queen and Princess Anne must not be allowed to leave Oxford." Astley advocated.

"Second." Other ministers and nobles said one after another.

They also know that the current crisis facing the king's army is the issue of heirs. The congressmen who organized the assassination must want to take this opportunity to disturb the king's army's morale and then fight back.

If the king's army does not determine the heir as soon as possible, then the purpose of the murderer behind the scenes will be achieved!
"Immediately summon the major nobles and military officers from all over the world to return to Oxford to jointly decide on this important event!"

The matter is critical, and before solving the issue of succession to the throne, they don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool with the parliamentary army.

The King's Army everywhere received this unbelievable and depressing news, and they began to shrink their defenses. Their officers and soldiers retreated to strong towns and fortresses, and then rushed to Oxford, the headquarters of the King's Army.

The assassination of the king and the royal family quickly spread throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland, causing shocks in the three kingdoms.Although some people did not like what the king had done, when they learned that the king had been assassinated in such a despicable way, almost all the people cursed the murderer angrily, but many people began to sympathize with Charles I.

Those who were most affected were the royalists who supported Charles I, including Sun Chuanting who was fighting against Cromwell, Earl of Living, and Fairfax in the north.

He thought that he was just assassinated by a member of parliament, but he didn't expect that these people went crazy and even dared to attack the king and prince, and they succeeded!

"King Charlie..." Sun Chuanting was in a complicated mood after hearing the news, and was a little lonely.

For their Kyushu Army, Charles I was just an object to be used. From him, they obtained port and trade privileges where they could garrison troops. It stands to reason that Charles I's life or death has nothing to do with him.

However, having served as Charles I's military advisor for such a long time, no one can be ruthless than grass and trees, not to mention that Charlie is not such a brutal king, and even a little pitiful.Sun Chuanting and Charlie were not friends, but they were acquaintances. In addition, the murderer behind the scenes also bought someone to assassinate him, which really angered him.

Just such a person who was still high-spirited not long ago was assassinated as soon as he said he was assassinated, which made Sun Chuanting sigh.

"Shrink the troops to Yorkshire. If the parliamentary army takes the opportunity to counterattack, they will stick to the town and not go to battle. I will go to Oxford. When I come back here again, I will avenge the king and myself, and completely defeat the parliament."

When a man is angry, maybe the eastern army he himself leads has to participate in the civil war in Britain.
