Chapter 1505 The Princess Is Our Person

Because the king's army needed to retrieve the main noble officers from various places to discuss the successor to the throne, such a delay made the London City Council take the lead in announcing that it would support Princess Elizabeth, who is now living in The Hague, Netherlands, as the Queen of Britain, replacing the young Anne The princess is temporarily in power, and she will be crowned king when Princess Anne becomes an adult, in response to the current turbulent situation in England and Scotland.

The parliament even sent a ship to the Netherlands to meet the exiled Princess Elizabeth, preparing to bring Princess Elizabeth back to England to become queen.

At the same time, they announced that the assassination of King Charles was suspected to be planned by the remnants of the "Gunpowder Conspiracy" organization more than 30 years ago, and a special team will be formed to investigate when the new queen ascends the throne.The citizens of the City of London were temporarily appeased, and some of them did believe the words of the Parliament, because the Gunpowder Plot was still fresh in the memory of many old people at that time.

After the king's army learned that the parliament had decided on the heir to the throne, it immediately exploded. If the king's army lost the king's banner, the king's army might be accused by the parliament of being a traitor!
"Damn it! Those guys in the parliament, the organizers of the gunpowder conspiracy were caught by the king back then, how could it be that they murdered the king!" Some royalists who supported King Charles were furious.

They accused the parliament of murdering the king, but they were transferred to a dead organization by the parliament, and the parliament installed a new king on its own.

"No one in our king's army is qualified to coordinate the overall situation, so I propose that our king's army should also form its own parliament! We have nobles from various counties here, and many of them were members of the council before the dissolution of the council. We can completely form the first Two councils, against the council of the City of London. We can call them the London council, and we are the Oxford council." Prince Rupert proposed to everyone as a prince at this critical moment.

As soon as the proposal to establish a second parliament was put forward, it was immediately supported by the royalists!
They realized that the king's army is in a very dangerous situation now. The London Parliament has tried to compete for the banner of the king, and they also need to compete for the identity of the parliament.

Many of the nobles and squires who originally supported the king were originally members of parliament, and they could have formed another team. In the absence of the king to lead them, they needed an institution to temporarily exercise the power of the king.

Soon the King's Army formed a temporary Oxford Parliament based on the counties and status levels represented by each other, and declared to England and Scotland that the Oxford Parliament is the parliament recognized by the royal family!
They also need a nominal spiritual leader!
Because Princess Elizabeth has been snatched away by the parliament in advance, the king's army without the support of the navy cannot compete with the parliament to welcome Princess Elizabeth. The only choices they face are Princess Anne and Princess Sophia.

"As long as the Oxford Parliament recognizes the treaty we signed with King Charles and continues to maintain a covenant relationship with us in the East, we will generously support you to defeat the parliamentary army without additional conditions, so that the Oxford Parliament will become a real parliament and Princess Sophia will become a real queen! "

Sun Chuanting took the initiative to support Princess Sophia at the Oxford Parliament, letting almost all members know the determination of this military officer from the East.

Hearing that Sun Chuanting said that they had no additional conditions, but only wanted to maintain the cooperative relationship with Charles I, many members of the Oxford Parliament couldn't help being moved.

They supported Charles I and did not take the treaty signed between Charles I and the Orientals seriously.If the Eastern Army represented by Sun Chuanting just wants to maintain the previous treaty, then it is not unacceptable to support Princess Sophia as the queen of the United Kingdom.

"In order to show our sincerity, our infantry and fleet stationed in Portsmouth will immediately start operations, and join forces with our king's army to attack the city of London, dissolve the London Parliament, and arrest members of the opposition. From then on, the Oxford Parliament will It will become the new parliament, and Princess Sophia will inherit her brother's will and become the new king in London." Sun Chuanting said coldly.

The statement that he could send troops immediately made all the members of the Oxford Parliament even more unable to withstand the temptation.

If the Eastern Army stationed in Portsmouth is dispatched, the British Civil War may end soon. They will replace the London Parliament as the official Parliament, and then auction off the property of the members of the London Parliament to replace it.They will be the biggest beneficiaries of this war - instead, if defeated by the London Parliament, their property will be auctioned off.

"However, even if Princess Sophia is studying in the East, it is true that you are not from the East. Your army suddenly joins our civil war. It is not justified, but it will become the handle of the London Parliament. If they declare you as foreign enemies, Then the people of England and Scotland will regard you as enemies. Even if our Oxford Parliament supports your involvement in the war, we cannot bear the anger of so many people... You should understand the difference, right?" said an earl.

Sun Chuanting was silent for a while. He knew that he could not easily intervene in the British civil war, otherwise he would become the public enemy of the 700 million residents of the three kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland.At that time, this bridgehead in Europe will be lost.

Unlike the indigenous kingdoms in the Pacific Ocean, a national consciousness has been formed here, and it is difficult to use force to conquer here.

"What if I say...Princess Sophia has a deeper relationship with us?" Sun Chuanting said tentatively.

"Oh?" Members of the Oxford Parliament couldn't help being surprised this time. Apart from studying in the East, what else does Princess Sophia have to do with the East?
Sun Chuanting glanced at Astley, and Astley stood up after understanding, and said to many members: "Our king once asked the consul of the Eastern Empire to marry him, so...their Eastern is the princess's husband's family. , it is a matter of course to send troops to fight for the throne of Princess Sophia."

After this unknown news came out, there was an uproar, and all the MPs in the Oxford Parliament stood up in surprise, as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing.

Royal marriages are all carried out among the royal families and nobles of various countries. There has never been a marriage between a princess and an oriental person without noble status!
Although Chu Yun rejected the marriage, in order to seek greater benefits in Britain, Sun Chuanting had to use this name to send troops to capture the city of London first, and then clarify the facts at that time.Anyway, it will be done by then, and the London Parliament will not be able to turn around any troubles.

He just announced this without authorization, whether he will be punished by Chu Yun after returning to the mainland... Suddenly, Sun Chuanting was a little afraid that he might be doomed if he behaved like this and waited until he returned to the mainland.
