"Are you going? Are you sure you can complete the task I said!" Charles I kept looking at Prince Rupert.
Looking at the fiery expression on Prince Rupert's face, Charles I could certainly see the excitement in Prince Rupert's heart.
"Promise to complete the task that my uncle entrusted to me. If I can't complete it, I will apologize with death!" Prince Rupert patted his chest and vowed.
Charles I hesitated for a while, but seeing that Prince Rupert was so fiery, he agreed to Prince Rupert.
Prince Rupert was overwhelmed with excitement when he saw his uncle agreeing with him.
Prince Rupert wanted to scream up to the sky, but seeing his uncle here, he couldn't do such outrageous things.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and shouted at Charles I again: "Promise to complete the task that my uncle entrusted to me!"
"Okay, I came to you today mainly for this matter. I'll go back first, and I will leave this matter to you. I don't care what you do, I just want the result!" Charles I said, then turned and left.
After Charles I left, Prince Rupert gathered all the officers among the thousand soldiers.
On the large playground in the middle of the training ground, ten officers stood in front of Prince Rupert.
The thousand soldiers were divided into ten sections of 100 men each.
Prince Rupert kept walking back and forth in front of these ten people, the smile on his face never disappeared from beginning to end.
Seeing Prince Rupert like this, the ten officers were also puzzled.They didn't know why Prince Rupert was so happy.
"Tell you one thing!"
Prince Rupert finally stopped. Standing in front of the ten people, he shouted loudly towards the ten people:
"I know what you want to do most now. What you want to do most now is to fight wars and make meritorious service. Let me tell you, this matter is not far away!
Today, the parliament sent envoys to meet His Royal Highness the King.But the bastards of the parliament, when they meet His Royal Highness, there is nothing good at all.
They actually wanted to use the superior force in their hands to force His Royal Highness to surrender!
His Royal Highness is a king, how could he submit to these pariahs?You say, can His Royal Highness submit to these pariahs?Can we bear this matter? "
Prince Rupert's words were very provocative, and immediately incited the ten officers.
"Can't, can't, can't!"
The ten officers roared loudly.
To be selected as officers of these thousand soldiers is a testament to the loyalty of these officers to Charles I.
"Okay, what I want is your words!
His Royal Highness intends to take revenge on them severely..."
Prince Rupert repeated what Charles I had said to himself before.
Just as Prince Rupert's voice fell, ten officers fought fiercely.
These ten officers are not fools, and they all saw an opportunity to make meritorious service from this incident.
Before Charles I and the parliament had yet to go to war, there were very few opportunities to make meritorious deeds. If they were not seized this time, they might disappear in the future.
After a fierce competition, Prince Rupert finally selected one hundred people.
The next day, at dawn, Prince Rupert set out for Northampton with the hundred soldiers.
These one hundred soldiers are all on horses, and if they march at full strength, they can reach Northampton in a day.
Prince Rupert drove for a day and finally came to the south of Northampton.
Prince Rupert did not choose to enter the city now, and he left all the soldiers he led in the suburbs outside Northampton.
And Prince Rupert walked into the city of Northampton with a few personal guards to inquire about news.
When Prince Rupert walked into the city of Northampton, the envoys sent by the parliament also returned to Northampton.
In the city hall of Northampton, these guards stood in the hall with aggrieved faces, crying to the people in the hall.
"His Royal Highness is arrogant and domineering, he doesn't pay attention to the parliament at all, he has no intention of surrendering at all, and even wants to fight the parliament to the end!
Not only did he not listen to what I said, he even beat me, His Royal Highness is really too arrogant..."
In front of the guards, the Earl of Essex, the Earl of Manchester, Cromwell and the others silently watched the crying messenger.
Among them, the Earl of Essex had the most ugly face, because he was the one who came up with this idea.
The Earl of Essex originally wanted to force Charles I to surrender through the power of the parliament, but he did not expect that things would develop like this.
"It's too much, it's too much, I don't think we need to do this at all!
The parliamentary army has more than 5 people, just attack London directly, how can it cost so much? ! "
Cromwell stood up and said to the Earl of Essex with a dissatisfied expression.
"Now it seems that this is the only way!"
The Earl of Essex waved his hands at the messengers in front of him, telling them to go down.
After these envoys went down, the Earl of Essex gathered the main generals of the parliamentary army and began to discuss the plan to attack London.
The Earl of Essex has now changed his mind. He does not want to use the power of the parliament to force Charles I to surrender.
While they were discussing countermeasures, Rupert walked into the city of Northampton with his guards.
Prince Rupert dresses very much like a businessman, and there is nothing wrong with that attire.
When entering the city, Prince Rupert was closely interrogated and interrogated, and Prince Rupert almost said the wrong thing several times.
If Prince Rupert hadn't given these soldiers some benefits, I'm afraid Prince Rupert would not have been able to enter Northampton at all.
Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, this method will never become outdated.
When he came to Northampton, Prince Rupert found that the city was full of patrolling soldiers.
Among the patrolling soldiers, quite a few did not have military uniforms.
Due to time constraints, there was no time to produce so many uniforms.
The city of Northampton seems to be under martial law, and all the shops, factories, stores, etc. in the city have ceased operations.
The closer you go to the center of the city, the denser the patrolling soldiers become.
"It is estimated that those waiters are right, there are indeed more than 5 soldiers and horses in the city of Northampton!
A considerable number of soldiers did not wear military uniforms, and these soldiers who did not wear military uniforms probably had just joined the army. "
Prince Rupert muttered for a while, then walked towards the city center.
The guards following Prince Rupert looked around vigilantly, for fear that they would be recognized by others.
Prince Rupert was not afraid of this matter. In his opinion, except for the Earl of Essex and Cromwell, none of these soldiers would recognize them.
After walking for a short time, Prince Rupert finally saw a restaurant that was not closed.
Although the restaurant is not closed, there are few customers inside, only a few sporadic ones.
Moreover, these guests who ate were basically wearing military uniforms, and they seemed to be officers in the parliamentary army.
Prince Rupert took a deep breath, collected himself, and then walked towards the restaurant.
The guards following Prince Rupert were worried and stared intently at the officers in the restaurant.
As soon as Prince Rupert sat down, the officers who were eating in the restaurant turned their attention to Prince Rupert.

Chapter 905 Gunshots
It's not that the identity of Prince Rupert was immediately recognized by others, it's that Prince Rupert and his group are too eye-catching.
Prince Rupert is well maintained. Although he is wearing the clothes worn by ordinary businessmen, it still cannot conceal Prince Rupert's temperament. Coupled with the entourage behind Prince Rupert, it is impossible not to attract attention.
"Who are you?" An officer stood up and walked towards Prince Rupert.
Prince Rupert's face remained unchanged, and he sat quietly on the chair, without any worries.
Don't look at Prince Rupert's face didn't change in any way, in fact, his heart was already panicked to the extreme.
"We are just ordinary businessmen!"
Prince Rupert looked at the officer walking towards him, and said calmly.
"Ordinary businessman? Why don't I believe it?"
The officer stood in front of Prince Rupert, staring at Prince Rupert like an eagle.
"I don't believe that an ordinary businessman would have such a temperament, and also manage himself in an orderly manner?" The officer stood in front of Prince Rupert.
The officers who were with this officer also came to Prince Rupert, vaguely surrounding Prince Rupert.
The entourage around Prince Rupert suddenly became vigilant. They stared at the officer surrounding them, for fear that the officer would do something.
"An ordinary businessman can have such a good servant? I can't think of it!"
The officer who spoke turned his attention to the burly followers beside Prince Rupert.
"Ha ha!"
Prince Rupert smiled contemptuously, "What? Can't a businessman have temperament? Why do you think businessmen can't have temperament?
Although I am just a small businessman, I have done business with the earl before, so it is not surprising that I have a temperament.
As for my servants, I spent a lot of money to recruit them. Is there any problem? "
Prince Rupert sat there quietly. Although his heart was about to jump out of his chest, his expression was still calm.
"If I remember correctly, the parliamentary soldiers and horses have put Northampton under martial law these days. How did you, a small businessman, get in?"
The officer who spoke put his right hand on the waist knife and stared fixedly at Prince Rupert.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely cold, and the owner of the restaurant hid in the back kitchen, not daring to come out.
Now this scene is beyond the reach of a small restaurant owner.
"You are right, there is a reason why I can come in.
Do you know who I am?Let me tell you, the Earl of Essex and I are old acquaintances. I did business with him before. Why do you think I can enter Northampton?
Let me tell you, you'd better be polite to me, otherwise, this layer of skin on your body will be gone! "
Prince Rupert pulled the tiger's skin and kept bragging.
When the officers surrounding Prince Rupert heard what Prince Rupert said, they all hesitated.
"You said that you and the Earl of Essex are old acquaintances. Is there any proof? Why should we believe your words?" The leading officer asked solemnly.
"Ha ha!"
Prince Rupert sneered twice, and said, "It's really funny, the Earl of Essex and I are old acquaintances, do I need to lie to you?"
As Prince Rupert spoke, he mentioned some characteristics and habits of the Earl of Essex.
The Earl of Essex had worked under Charles I before, and Prince Rupert was Charles I's nephew, so Prince Rupert knew many characteristics and habits of the Earl of Essex.
Prince Rupert spoke plausibly, without any hesitation on his face.
These officers looked at the chattering Prince Rupert, and the shock on their faces became more and more intense.
Where have these officers come into contact with the Earl of Essex?
Even if there is something about the Earl of Essex, it is heard from others.
Prince Rupert had a panoramic view of the expressions of these officers, and the anxiety in his heart gradually disappeared.
"Where can these officers get in touch with the Earl of Essex? It is estimated that my words have frightened them into stupidity. Maybe I can still get something out of these officers today!"
Prince Rupert felt a lot more at ease.
After Prince Rupert finished speaking, he tapped the table in front of him with his right hand, and said lightly: "How is it? Is what I said right? I guess you don't even know what I said. That's right, you officers, know what?"
After Prince Rupert finished speaking, he looked at them with disgust.
The officers around Prince Rupert looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do for a while.
It is really that the words Prince Rupert said are too unbelievable, and each one is so well-founded that people can't fault it.
"Are you really an old acquaintance of the Earl of Essex?" The leading officer still didn't believe it. There was no conclusive evidence, and it was really not completely convincing to just rely on words.
"Look at what you said. I've said it all, but you still don't believe it. Since you don't believe it, then I have nothing to do!"
