1653 12 16, London City Hall was crowded with leading figures in British society at that time. Right in the middle.
There is a man sitting in a chair. He is about 50 years old, red-faced, black-robed, and wearing a hat with a wide brim and Phnom Penh.
Solemn. The mayor of London stood up to speak, and the lively hall immediately fell into silence, only to hear him loudly say, "Sir!" "

Then, a general read out the "ruling document" of the new British constitution, stipulating that the protector of the country should be lifelong and the country.
All our principles and policies can take effect only by protecting the country.
Subsequently, officials at all levels led the following teams in lord protector, and ended the inauguration ceremony with the cheers of soldiers. Since then,
Cromwell became the supreme ruler of Britain.
Cromwell 1599 was born in a middle-class gentry family in Huntington County. He/kloc-entered Cambridge university at the age of 0/7, and later
Studying law in London again. 1628, he was elected to parliament.
When Charles I declared war on Parliament, Cromwell resolutely took part in the battle against the king. At the beginning of the war, the parliamentary army continued to flow.
After being defeated, Cromwell was very anxious. He decided to build a disciplined and efficient team at his own expense. He carefully separated it.
This paper analyzes the reasons for the defeat of the parliamentary army, and holds that if we want to take the initiative in the war, we must have a brave cavalry.
In Europe in the17th century, infantry began to use firearms-a short-barreled musket. However, this kind of gun is used to
It's inconvenient. It must be loaded from the muzzle, and it must be ignited with a fuse before it can be fired. When it comes to strong winds and heavy rain, it is equal to nothing.
Yes It is very troublesome to reload a bullet from the muzzle after it is finished. Moreover, the lethality of this bullet is not
Strong and strong, it is difficult to work when encountering cavalry in armor. The cavalry moves quickly and can charge.
Cromwell selected soldiers from farmers and craftsmen in Cambridgeshire and asked them to be revolutionary and brave.
Fear, and can consciously abide by discipline. At first, his team consisted of only 60 people, but they were brave and good at fighting, often winning more with less.
The stronger the combat power, the more people there are, and they are called "iron cavalry". Cromwell led the cavalry to reverse the situation on the battlefield, iron
Wherever the cavalry went, the enemy was frightened. Cromwell's popularity grew, and he became the commander of the parliamentary army. 164
At 7: 00 p.m. on July 2nd, 2004, on the grassland of meston in northern England, the parliamentary army and Wang Jiajun met. Wang Jiajun
Commander-in-chief Rupert and Newcastle led 1 0,000 infantry and 7000 cavalry in the depths of the grassland. Rupert stood on the high ground.
Looking into the distance, I saw the parliamentary army standing in the dark. Rupert turned to his entourage and asked, "Is Cromwell there?"
Are you online? The waiter replied, "Here it is." "Rupert's heart sank immediately. He knew Cromwell might be good at fighting.
Now I see that the other team is neat and morale is high. How can I not worry? He was silent for a while, then turned and went into the tent, ready for later use.
Rice.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Parliamentary artillery began to bombard. Then, 20 thousand infantry and 7000 cavalry launched a charge in three ways, which was very fast
Killed Wang Jiajun quickly.
Rupert didn't expect Cromwell to attack so soon, so he quickly ordered the battle. Although they defeated the left-wing proposal
Army, but the middle has been Cromwell personally led by iron cavalry breakthrough. Wang Jiajun's cavalry couldn't resist and turned around and fled the war.
Field. The parliamentary army became more and more brave and pursued it with great enthusiasm. Wang Jiajun's infantry lost the cover of cavalry and immediately dispersed.
Rupert saw that the tide was gone, and hurriedly led a small number of beaten soldiers to flee in panic. At that time, the sun had just set and the time was short.
Internally, the parliamentary army won a decisive victory.
Although the parliamentary army defeated Wang Jiajun on the grassland of meston, Charles I was still very strong. There are many contradictions within the parliament.
Heavy, someone talks with the king in private. Charles I took advantage of the disunity within the parliamentary army and defeated it twice.
Cromwell felt it necessary to reform the parliamentary army. When he met in parliament, he solemnly pointed out to conservatives: "If we don't reorganize the army,
Team, if you don't fight harder, the people won't be able to stand it any longer. "
1645 65438+ 10, Parliament passed the new army bill, authorizing Cromwell to build an army of 2 1 10,000 people.

Su Junji: Soldiers were punished for swearing 12 pence; If you drink, you have to take a club; Stealing and adultery are prohibited, otherwise they will be severely punished.
Punishment. Cromwell also broke the concept of family status and vigorously promoted the lower class civilians who were brave and good at fighting. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be stronger.
Much better. 1645 In the early morning of June 14, the village of Nasby in central England was shrouded in dense fog, and the parliamentary army and
Wang Jiajun started a bloody battle here. Charles I wanted to use the fog as a cover to attack the parliamentary army, when Wang Jiajun let out a cry and rushed into the enemy.
Position, only to find that the parliamentary army tent was empty, Charles I knew that he had been cheated, but it was too late. Good morning, Cromwell
Anticipating that Wang Jiajun would sneak attack, he prepared an ambush and personally led a team around the rear of Wang Jiajun. Both parties initiated at the same time
Attack Wang Jiajun. Charles I didn't care about each other from beginning to end, so he was so scared that he disguised himself as a servant and fled to Scotland.
Wang Jiajun was completely defeated.
1October 30th, Charles I was guillotined. Charles I was executed only a week ago, sweetheart.
Parliament declared charles ii, the son of Charles I, king, and stepped up preparations to send troops to crusade against England.

From this. 1651September 3, Cromwell wiped out the Scottish army, and charles ii fled to France. Cromwell
Occupied the whole of Scotland, from then on, he won the title of "winning general".
With the military victory, Cromwell's personal ambition also expanded, and he was not satisfied with just commanding the army. He thought
Monopolize power.

The next day, the parliament held a meeting to prepare a new election law and openly confront Cromwell.
