Chapter XIX The Jacobites

"Ba"

Charlie stared calmly at the performance of the leader who appeared honest but actually cunning inside, as if he was watching Shakespeare's play, with an indifferent expression.

The Marquis Angus, who was upright and responsible for restoring Stuart, seemed to have been killed by someone, and his hair exploded. He slapped the red table with his right hand, causing several cracks to appear.

"Barl McDonald, please don't forget that the original vows of you Highlanders, following His Highness the Prince's restoration is not only your responsibility, but also the responsibility of all Highlanders!"

The title of Chief MacDonald was Baron, which was awarded during the Kingdom of Scotland. At this time, Angus' official title made Chief MacDonald tremble.

The angry and angry Marquis Angus seemed particularly imposing at this time.

"Sorry, my respected Marquis, I have my own difficulties!"

How could Chief MacDonald be frightened by Marquis Angus? He has been the leader for decades. He still had a look of reluctance and shame on his face, but his eyes were straightforward and decisive.

As for Prince Charlie in front of him, he did not doubt that he had the possibility of restoring his country, but if this came at the cost of all the soldiers who had been killed or injured, he would rather not need such a kingdom.

Although Catholic Highlanders will be continuously suppressed by the London government, tribes will continue to reproduce rather than extinction.

So in the face of the future and reality, the Highlanders made their choice.

The O'Neill Knight, who was standing beside him, looked at Leader MacDonald coldly, with no emotional fluctuations in his eyes. Charlie believed that if he gave him an order, the two leaders of the Highland tribe would immediately land on their heads.

However, Charlie would not do that. Not to mention the prestige of these two people among the Highlanders, it is normal to say that these two people are loyal James people who have worked hard for so long for him to make such a choice in the face of the interests of the tribe's survival.

Knowing, but this only loyal force chose to leave, which dissipated the last thought of restoring the country in Charlie's mind.

The current situation is very obvious. The British Isles do not have the soil foundation for restoration. The binding between the Stuart family and the Catholic Church is the most wrong choice.

"I understand what you mean, Your Excellency Chief!" Charlie stopped the angry Marquis Angus, then leaned slightly, faced the two leaders and said in a deep voice:

"His Excellency Cameron, did you choose this too?"

"Yes, I feel sorry, my respected Highness!"

Chief Cameron has less beard than Chief MacDonald and is thinner in size, but compared to Charlie, it is still so large.

As a large tribe with many high grounds, although it has a weak sense of existence, it still makes its own voice.

"Then, as your lord, I agree with your request!" Charlie said calmly.

"Your Highness--" Marquis Angus lost his voice for it.

"But, given the breach of trust that the Highlanders have committed, the Highlanders need to be responsible for this, and I need a hundred Highlanders teenagers to serve me for ten years!"

Charlie stopped Marquis Angus' persuasion with his eyes, and then his brown eyes stared straight at Chief MacDonald.

"Yes..." Leader MacDonald thought for less than five seconds and agreed to this simple request. Although the teenager is also a power of the tribe, it will take at least ten years to become a real werewolf warrior. When you come back ten years later, you don't have much to pay.

"Secondly, given the Highlanders' withdrawal, you will be deducted half of the salary and bonuses!"

"Yes-" When he thought of Jin Cancan's pounds taking half of it from his hand, Chief MacDonald felt bleeding in his heart, and he reluctantly agreed to the request.

However, Charlie felt a little joy in his heart because of the agreement of this condition.

The salary and bonuses owed by the Highlanders this time were about 5,000 pounds, and only 13,000 pounds were seized. If half of them were deducted, they would be able to leave 10,500 pounds in the end, which was enough to pay off the debt.

For this, Charlie breathed a deep breath in his heart, calmed down, and took a deep breath again.

"Finally-" As soon as the word was released, MacDonald's heart suddenly shrank and his pupils shrank, for fear that the greedy prince would say something shameless, although they were the first to break their promise.

"In the end, I just hope, my dear leader, please stay in Edinburgh for a few more days!"

"No problem, your respected prince!" When MacDonald heard this extremely simple condition, he felt much more relaxed and agreed casually. After all, the injured soldiers need to recuperate for a while. Edinburgh is a good choice before the British army arrives.

Afterwards, with the end of the terms, there was no conflict of interest between Charlie and the Highlanders, and the relationship naturally returned to its original place. After chatting with laughter, the two barbaric and tall Highlanders took their leave.

"Your Highness, do you know what the decision just now means?" Even when Angus faced Prince Charlie, the anger on his face could not be suppressed, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames.

And in Charlie's sight, O'Neal's Cavaliers were also dissatisfied.

Charlie's face turned right. He knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, his small team would fall apart.

Faced with the anger of the two loyal vassals, Charlie calmly took out a newspaper from the drawer, "The Weekly Review of the British Nation", also referred to as "The Weekly Review", a newspaper with government allowances.

It can be said to be the throat of the government. The famous novelist Defoe once wrote articles at an annual salary of 400 pounds.

It's a long way to go, and I saw a brightly written in the "Weekly Review":

The imprisoned Earl of Worcester was recently appointed and removed from the Minister of Trade by His Majesty George II...

The Earl of Worcester has always been an important figure in the James Party in London, and it is also the reason why Charlie and others are confident to restore the rule of the Stuart family.

And such a supporter of the Stuart family, an important figure, surrendered to George II of Hannover and became a hot figure in London.

Seeing this news, Marquis Angus and Knight O'Neill couldn't help but shocked, their eyes were filled with unbelievable expressions, and their faces were extremely painful.

"It was only today that I discovered that the Earl of Worcester just wanted to wait for a price and sell himself at a good price!"

Charlie sneered several times and said to his two loyal subordinates.

"Don't doubt, the James people in London may have been beaten up in one go. I said that a while ago, the soldiers came to York City and there was no James people coming to support me, nor did there be any news in England?"

"Forgive, among the James people, a traitor appeared-"
