Chapter 1513 The End of the War and Negotiations

The negotiations between the King's Army and the Parliamentary Army were held at the Palace of Westminster, which is the House of Parliament in England, but now two parliaments are negotiating here.

The king's army has entered the city of London, the parliamentary army has given up resistance, and now the entire city is under the control of the king's army.

The main leaders of the parliamentary faction, such as Pym, Hampton, and the Earl of Essex, are not looking good. They are the defeated party. Next, they need to accept harsh terms to appease the victor's anger.

The knights of the King's Army were controlling the security of the meeting place. Prince Rupert, Astley, Sun Chuanting and others sat proudly opposite these opposition MPs.They are the victors, and of course they are entitled to pride.

"You made a request in the terms of the peace talks to merge the two parliaments, and we have agreed to your request for the peace of England. We now need to redefine the seats of the counties and major towns in the parliament. In war Towns that support our King's Army, who have done so well, deserve more seats in Parliament."

It was not military officers such as Prince Rupert who negotiated with the London Parliament, but members of the Oxford Parliament.

Members of the London Parliament such as Pym, Hampton, and the Earl of Essex all knew that their seats would be reduced if they surrendered, but they had no choice but to wait for the other party's trial after the defeat.

If the royalists occupy more seats in the parliament, it means that the sovereignty of the country falls into the hands of the royalists, and instead of declining, the status of the royal family will increase.

The only good news is that the king is not Charles I, known as the "tyrant", but Queen Sophia.

Charles I can even dissolve the parliament one after another. It is estimated that Queen Sophia will not continue to repeat the mistakes of her brother, but will respect the existence of the parliament, and even the parliament will gain legislative power again.

"This time, the main members of the London Parliament and some officers who caused harm to our king's army will be placed under house arrest, waiting for Queen Sophia to come back to decide their lives and deaths. You have betrayed the royal family and started a war, and someone must pay for it The price. You are on the list of people under house arrest, Pym, Hampton, Earl of Essex, Earl of Manchester, Cromwell, Fairfax..."

Members of the Oxford Assembly announced a list of persons who were either leading members of the opposition or leading officers of the Parliamentary Army.

Although the civil war in Britain has temporarily come to an end, in order to prevent the parliamentary army from being dissatisfied with the peace treaty and rekindling the war, these main leaders will be arrested, and no one will make trouble if no one takes the lead.

Whether it is Pym, Hampton, or noble officers such as the Earl of Essex, the Earl of Manchester, and Cromwell, they can only be forced to accept the sentence of the King's Army Oxford Parliament.They knew the consequences of doing so before they started.

Someone must be responsible for the more than 10000 young men who died in the British Civil War, and what awaited them might be the gallows.Of course, it depends on Queen Sophia's intentions. These people are against the king, and it is perfect for the king's heir to decide their life and death.

"What should Princess Elizabeth and Princess Anne do? We have sent people to the Netherlands to pick up Princess Elizabeth, and she is probably on her way back now. If you are sure that you want to support Princess Sophia as the Queen of the United Kingdom, then you need to send People should cancel the trip to bring Princess Elizabeth back, otherwise it will cause a rift between the sisters. There is also little princess Anne, I heard that the queen insists on taking her back to Paris, if little princess Anne falls into the hands of King Louis XIII of France, Maybe Louis XIII will send troops to England under the banner of fighting for the throne for Princess Anne, and then it will trigger a war between England and France." Pym was about to be arrested, but he still expressed his concerns.

Sun Chuanting couldn't help admiring these opposition MPs. They did have extraordinary abilities. Whether they took the initiative to resist the king or surrender at this time, they would even think about the kingdom if they were about to be arrested.

If it hadn't been for their Eastern Legion to intervene in this war, relying on Charles I and the young and vigorous Prince Rupert, maybe the King's Army would have failed in this war between the King and the Parliament.

"We will send someone to cancel Princess Elizabeth's trip, and at the same time we will expel Prince Carl from England to prevent any threats to Queen Sophia's throne." Members of the Oxford Parliament said.

"Expel Prince Carl? Then Prince Rupert...?" The members of the opposition couldn't help but look at Prince Rupert.

Both Prince Carl and Prince Rupert are the sons of Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth is the sister of Charles I. If England wants to expel Prince Carl, then in order to completely solve the problem of England's succession to the throne, Prince Rupert should also be expelled. yes.

"Prince Rupert took the initiative to support Queen Sofia. He showed extraordinary courage and loyalty to the royal family in battle. We believe that Prince Rupert will continue to serve the royal family and bring glory to England by staying in England." Oxford. said the member of parliament.

"What about Princess Anne? Are you really going to let Queen Henrietta bring Princess Anne back to Paris? That will bring endless troubles to England and France."

"We will ask Queen Henrietta to sign a treaty of succession to the throne before taking Princess Anne back to France. Unless Queen Sophia is childless, Princess Anne will give up her right to inherit the royal families of England and Scotland."

Obviously, in order to push Princess Sofia to the position of queen, the king's army has already thought of ways to deal with potential heirs to the throne in advance.

In order to ensure that the royal family will not have no heirs under the premise that Princess Sofia has no heirs, Princess Anne has limited inheritance rights.

However, Princess Anne is only 2 years old. It is hard to say whether she can grow up smoothly. After all, when medicine is underdeveloped, children are most likely to die young.Charles I had several brothers and sisters, half of whom died young.Sometimes it is a blessing to be able to grow up smoothly.

"What else do you think about our arrangement?" the member of the Oxford Parliament asked the key criminals about to be arrested for the last time.

"No, it's just that I'm worried about the future of England and Scotland. Princess Sophia has been in the East for so long, and she might be affected by them." said Hampton, who had not spoken.

"Mr. Hampton, maybe we should go to see the prosperity of Eastern civilization, so that we can dispel your worries." Earl Compton, who was once an envoy to China in the Oxford Parliament, said.

"Really? If I'm still alive, maybe I'll look somewhere," Hampton said.
