Chapter 22 Cutting the Flesh

"Damn it, it's going to bleed again!"

After such a feast with a slash, the mayor was no different from other nobles. Although he had guessed the result, he was still frightened when facing it.

In the palace, in front of Prince Charles' study, nobles or wealthy businessmen kept coming out of him. In the hall, many people were still sitting anxiously waiting for His Royal Highness to summon the prince.

The mayor of Edinburgh was born as a nobleman and was naturally familiar with some strategies, but he was still so angry that he shuddered in anger at the current open blackmail.

Once upon a time, the Scottish nobles were exploited. In order to win over them, the English were either sent money or tax cuts and forced to give money. This was the first time he had faced in his life.

"Mr. Mayor, you are here too!"

"Mr. Mayor, good morning"

"Hello--"

As the mayor, who was thin and feminine, came over, many nobles and wealthy businessmen did not look surprised at all, but instead greeted him friendly.

I found a seat awkwardly and sat down, quietly waiting for fate's blackmail, expressionless and hated in my heart.

He swore that he would report Charlie's bad behavior to the English, and that all the information and the Englishman who did not disclose at all were good-looking, so that Charlie, who had no aristocratic demeanor at all, would look good...

However, there was no sign of Charlie in the study. Instead, Marquis Angus, holding a pen and an account book, two servants serving each other kept drawing out letter papers that matched the patterns from the hill-like pile of letters.

"Vissue Dennis Hoy, thank you very much for your support for the royal family, 5,000 pounds, thank you!"

Marquis Angus's serious face squeezed out a smile with all his might, and said softly to the man with sparse hair but meticulously combed.

"It should, it should!" He uncontrollably wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk-patterned handkerchief, but he kept nodding, bent over slightly, and was very respectful to Marquis Angus.

It seemed as if I had given out five thousand pounds and I was very happy.

Of course, as the attendant on the side gently handed a letter with the Hoy family's emblem into his hands, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if the sweat on his forehead had disappeared.

"Hiss--" With a strong pull, Mr. Viscount confirmed it for a moment, he couldn't wait to put the envelope in his heart into his arms, nodded, and the respectful expression on his face passed in a flash. Before he could leave the room, he immediately turned gloomy.

It can be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied.

As he left, another nobleman was taken into the study by his servant, and then searched for letters again, thanking...

As for money, it was already taken to the warehouse by the servants when it arrived. Marquis Angus was ready. He sent a letter directly after the amount of money was reached. If he didn't reach it, he kept hinting.

This rogue method has indeed come into effect. In the morning, most of the letters disappeared.

But at the same time, although the nobles or merchants who came out breathed a sigh of relief, their hatred for His Highness became even stronger.

Regarding Marquis Angus' concerns, Charlie said easily:

Who     cares?

Although it is not clear, what can Marquis Angus have to do it? It is only possible to do it with all his heart and strength! Anyway, the pool of water in Scotland has been abandoned, so it is better to get more in the end.

And our Prince Charlie is not that leisurely. Before evacuating, he needs to see the army and arrange it before leaving.

The formation of his rebel army was very chaotic.

In addition to the thousands of highland soldiers, there were also some local Scottish soldiers, surrendered English soldiers, and prisoners.

In addition to the highland warriors with nearly 4,000 people, there were also two thousand miscellaneous soldiers and more than two thousand prisoners.

"Route-" A strong, light yellow short-haired officer began to command the troops while Charlie was patrolling.

Hulalala...

The gathering of thousands of troops took about ten minutes, and they stood up loosely. Not to mention that compared with later generations, but also that there was too much difference compared with those fighting Englishmen.

After taking a look, Charlie completely lost interest in this group of local troops, but there were three nails on the rotten ship, so talent still needed to have it.

"Mr. Norfos!"

"Yes, Your Highness—"

"You have followed me for many years, and I still believe your vision!" Charlie looked at the middle-aged officer, glanced at his white hair, and said seriously:

"From these soldiers, select some literate and more potential seedlings. Of course, young middle- and low-level officers also need some!"

Charlie trusted such an old man from Rome and followed him, so he also gave some tips on him.

"I understand!" Norfos's eyes narrowed, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly cheered up and replied in a low voice.

"I'll feel relieved with you here!"

“Is there a limit on the number of people?”

"About one hundred people!" Charlie looked at the group of slags with only five combat power, and shook his head helplessly.

Then he inspected the hundreds of captured artillery soldiers and the twenty-four bronze cannons.

Charlie cannot let go of these people anyway. These are scarce technical talents. Even if they go to Europe to be a nobleman, they will not be able to do it safe without the necessary talent protection.

Afterwards, Charlie went to inspect some of the purchased grains and returned to the Stirling Palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and most of the letters had disappeared, but what they had harvested were boxes of paper money and gold and silver coins.

"Your Highness, you have received 80,000 pounds of paper money, 50,000 pounds of gold and silver coins, and 10,000 francs! So far, a total of 165 nobles or wealthy merchants have come to collect the price, and more than 20 have returned to prepare!"

Scotland has maintained an allied relationship with France for hundreds of years, and it is normal to have a franc.

Charlie stared at these boxes of gold coins in a daze. He had never been so direct at so much money, even if it was fake money.

More than 100,000 pounds, you can buy an Earl's sized territory in Europe

"However, the expressions of those nobles after leaving were very ugly!" Angus said with some anxiety.

"It's okay, we are all leaving anyway. It's time to cut off the two-faced nobles!"

Charlie waved his hand quickly, not caring.

Seeing this, Marquis Angus had no choice but to leave.

"Ah-- so much money, all of these are Mary's, so don't snatch anyone away!"

When Charlie was feeling a lot of emotion, a young girl in a green group suddenly ran in and hugged the gold coin box, her face full of intoxication.
