When Cromwell cleaned up the battlefield and sent men to continue the pursuit of the king, but this time the effect was very bad, and the royal family, who had discarded most of the miscellaneous things, marched lightly, and they could only barely chase halfway, but they had already lost their trace.

By the time the spoils of war were counted, they had obtained about five hundred rifles and countless rounds of ammunition, and in a hurry, the royal army, which lacked the ability to co-ordinate, naturally could not take away so many bullets, and if they had the organizational ability, they would directly overturn Cromwell.

"Now, immediately surround me with that Chinese pavilion, is this how they repay us, we are countless banquets, countless welcomes to entertain him, even our women in England are revolving around him, but is he trying to subvert us behind his back!"

It's simply that the speaker sheds tears and the hearer is sad, and the Chinese who Cromwell originally thought were foreign aid were so vicious! What kind of impact will such a large amount of support for the king have if it spreads!

Effect?

The carriage has arrived outside the manor, and the menacing cavalry is waiting for the final order, ready to rush in and arrest people, no way, the so-called consular protection system in this era has not yet appeared, Xu Hao, there is some danger.

But he just stood there, not daring to move again, and even trembled for a while, his expression was hideous, and an unknown soldier just wanted to get closer, asking why he hadn't given the order yet, Cromwell looked at the distance, in Xu Hao's manor, the three-story small building was brightly lit, and it seemed to be very lively, he gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat, everyone, retreat, don't make a big noise." ”

When Cromwell returned to his official residence, he gritted his teeth and said: "Can you arrest him, can you move him, for those old guys, this Chinese secretly supports the royal family in the war, although it damages his interests and also damages the interests of Parliament, but how will the overall public opinion in Britain go?" ”

Almost no one would condemn him, and Xu Hao could either deny it outright, die or die to strangle Sino-British relations, which had already made a good start, or flatly admit this act of assistance.

He admitted, is there any harm, even Cromwell has to admit that this kind of behavior is almost unscrupulous and can be played openly, after all, at this moment, the king is still the king, and when he has not been deposed, Xu Hao has a reason to do this.

Speaking of the sky, first of all, the British Empire cannot become a republic, he thinks about it, and there is only one way to put the king under house arrest, and secondly, Cromwell himself has no inheritance, so in the end, he found that the only solution is to be honest and let Xu Hao continue to wander around the city.

"Inform me and try my best to conceal that the Chinese sold these rifles to the king, and say that it was the evil smugglers who did it!"

During the Opium War, the British did business with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom openly, and the sense of powerlessness that the Qing Dynasty was powerless arose.

Xu Hao stood at the window, lowered the curtains, turned back to a table, and said, "Who should be the landlord?" ”

"Me!"

"Me!"

Christina and Eliza said in unison at the same time.

Xu Hao washed the poker in his hand, of course, there are already playing cards in the UK in this era, but these pokers are still more fundamental, that is, among all the cards, K is the largest, A is the smallest, and there is no big card like the king and the king, Xu Hao immediately spread his own way of playing, which is of course everyone's favorite way to play, fighting the landlord.

Xu Hao didn't think about promoting this set of games in the UK, this lack of interest chain is really uninteresting, but it also reminded him that the oil and water of this card game is also very abundant, of course, how can poor people have the heart to play this kind of game.

The guard company beside him naturally had a secret sentinel, and after discovering that the horse team in the distance was approaching, he was also very nervous, for fear that a big battle would occur, and it would be difficult for dozens of people to protect Xu Hao's safety, but fortunately, these enemies seemed to have stood for a long time, so they did not advance, but retreated directly.

Xu Hao slowly shuffled the cards, drew the cards, and said at the same time: "I don't know why Cromwell suddenly sent troops, it's really unexpected." ”

Christina sighed, "yes." ”

It was only in the afternoon that they received the news that Cromwell had urged his army to march in the morning while the whole city of London was still asleep.

Originally, as an army fed by a bloated parliament, the new model army let alone send troops, that is, how many barrels of wine are used in the celebration of Christmas, all of which have to be stared at by the thief eyes of the councilor, it can be said that this is also the reason why Charles I trained with peace of mind, before they sent the army, Charles I had already gotten the news.

But there are always surprises, and now there are accidents.

After Cromwell started, Christina happened to be here with Xu Hao, talking about chatting, but in fact, she was further discussing knowledge from China and arranging for a few noble children to study in China or something.

After the accident, she thought about it, and after sending a letter to her family first, she stayed and continued to wait for news.

It seems that there is no need to wait long, after all, as a sieve, London cannot be kept secret, and the people who are running around will bring the news back to London as soon as possible.

"What, the king is dead!" Christina couldn't believe it and said, "What's going on. ”

Xu Hao was also a little surprised, he muttered in his mind, shouldn't it be three years before he died, how could he die early, he was already a little uneasy in his mind, could it be his butterfly effect that gave him ......

Don't dare, he still has some wisdom in the end, he won't expose himself, at least he won't shout out what he thinks in his heart, if what he thinks is really the truth.

Christina's father obviously has a news channel, this night, the three of them simply began to fight the landlord, and the news kept coming, and the more they talked, the more cold they felt in their hearts.

Christina, of course, it was like the sky was falling, the king was dead, what should she do?

Xu Hao was beating a drum in his heart, at this time he was completely confirmed, that is, he killed Charlie alive, not to mention anything else, the person was killed by his rifle.

Due to the lack of sources, the news obtained from his father was that Cromwell's killer killed the king directly.

It was difficult for Xu Hao to judge the truth of this matter, because the things he had to think about were more important to the elders, how to deal with the following work?

In particular, why did some troops suddenly come at them and slowly withdraw? Xu Hao quickly understood the reason, he was in London, and it was normal for the news of the rifle to be discovered.

The reason why they dared to sell weapons to the British, the first point was that the so-called guns were easy to make, but bullets were difficult to imitate, and it was difficult for the British to have the ability to make bullets.

However, the side effects were discovered by the people in the city of London, but in fact, no one took it to heart, Xu Hao originally planned to leave for Europe after the New Year, and continue to fool the monarchs of Europe.

But now, it seems that he was discovered in advance, and Xu Hao has a feeling that he has stolen something and is seen by his master.

I don't know what to do with those people.

The imperial capital's reply woke him up like a dream.

"Where is the crown prince?"

As we said before, Cromwell and the parliament he represented, rich and soldiered, can be said to have gained great power in England, but they lack righteousness, and even they themselves know their own pounds, and the British can accept to fight with the king, but not to accept someone other than the Stuart dynasty as the king, which is embarrassing.

This is equivalent to, I hurt you, but I still love you as much, drive away my father, welcome the new king, there is no revolution, this is the rule of Europe.

This is not good news, but Xu Hao immediately understood what it meant, turned his head and asked: "Christina, can you ask your father, where is the crown prince, he must take the throne immediately, and ......"

As if thinking of something, he said: "You are not safe, and your father is not safe anymore, after all, since they have come to me to explain that the matter of the weapon I gave you to the king has been exposed, and I know only a limited number of people in London, it is normal for our relationship to be suspected, so our line will be completely exposed." ”

Xu Hao had completely understood this line at this time.

Xu Hao knew Christina, Christina's family was a royalist, and his weapons appeared in the king's army, so it made him feel very bad to think of such a possibility, although at this moment, the spaceship was ready to come to his aid at any time.

"Don't worry, the news that Dad just brought, he has already gone into hiding, he won't be caught, and naturally he won't bother you."

"I'm not afraid, because I'm already involved, I'm ready to leave here and go to live on the Liaoning, although it's very noisy there, but at least it can be safe, well, Christina, you can also call your dad and go to the ship with me to wait for news, the next focus is no longer in the City of London, but on the little prince."

Xu Hao confirmed that at this time, the whole side of the imperial capital was already boiling, and they must be having a crazy discussion, and as soon as possible, they grasped the key point, and the little prince was the core of the key.

Christina said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Xu Hao has been in London for many days, and he has received a lot of all kinds of messy gifts, at least he can fill the box, but at this time he can completely abandon it, for him, the things are here, as long as his own people are fine, he can let people come back and pick them up at any time, he only needs to bring more sensitive things, and he is ready to leave without asking anything else.

However, there are still people who stop it, at least there are people from the New Model Army who serve as outer guards.

"Sir, this is the time of chaos, for your safety, please do not go out."

No one paid attention to him.

Xu Hao himself knows that the so-called chaos is not made by himself.

He had a cold face and shouted directly: "Rush!" ”

No one cares about him at this juncture, for Cromwell, dealing with the parliament and the challenges below is the key, the crime of killing the monarch is not comfortable, the best choice is to find a way to plant this crime on other people's heads.

Fortunately, Cromwell had a lot of experience in the struggle, and after this war, although several little princes escaped, the king's body was eventually recovered, and after countless patiences, the "official" narrative finally came out, the king died of a gun, at least in this transitional period, people still want to live a comfortable life.

In the life of fools, soap operas are enough.

When all this was done, Cromwell was at ease, and his military power depended on the officers and his own prestige, but also from the people of the parliament who were willing to pay taxes and tried to expand their power, for whom it was a pleasant surprise to gradually discover the weakness of the king, and without money, the king could not move the army!

For the first time in history, in an era when gold power triumphed over royal power, loyalty to the king gave way to loyalty to money.

However, Cromwell himself knew that there might be some young people who had been promoted by him from the bottom who recklessly mentioned it and wanted to play a story of persuasion, but Cromwell himself knew that he could not be a king.

Also, it's the same to pay taxes, why don't I ignore the legitimate king, but I want to deal with you, the usurper?

The crisis had just begun, so when he heard that Xu Hao ran back to the Liaoning with his men, Cromwell could only grit his teeth, and then said with a reluctant smile: "Our friend is frightened, go and send someone to comfort you, the British matter, I think it can be over in the future." ”

His meaning is very clear, the king is dead, don't care what he died, now whether it is the corpse or the murderous Simon is in my hands, in the past, you bet on both sides and funded the king's behavior, I can also turn a blind eye, and we will work together in the future.

But what Cromwell didn't expect was that the few little princes who were far away in the north and couldn't get in touch with Xu Hao in his imagination had something special happening.

Among all the gifts Xu Hao gave to the royal family, the most cherished is naturally the tablet computer, although it has been passive, it can only play specific videos, and all kinds of functions are basically locked, but in fact, its back door is still enough.

At the time of the incident, the tablet was in the hands of Princess Celestia Mary, because she was too young to compete with her brother, so she could only play with it at night, and she had to consider the time to charge under the sun, and when it came to her hands, the power would definitely be insufficient.

Therefore, when her father died, and she and her brother were taken by the nanny, and rested in another room, no one was in the mood to play with the tablet anymore, and Princess Mary just held it in her hand.

And Cromwell's attack was simply too fast, after all, it was very close to the barracks, and at noon the next day, it had already been killed, and it was simply a well-coordinated offensive.

Mary fled far away with the tablet, and it was not until the two brothers were called to talk, as if it was a matter of succession, that she touched the tablet, which was the last meaning of her life.
