Yes, he did- it was the army of the Parliamentarian side during the English Civil War. Extremely highly trained, they were the most disciplined military force England had seen since the Romans, and they were equipped with the latest in weaponry, armour and equipment.
The standard uniform of a Parliamentarian trooper, consisting of a long leather jacket, black trousers with knee-length boots, leather gauntlets and steel helmet with face-grille, looks quite modern even by today's standards!
The name of his army was the New Model Army.

The New Model Army, organised by Oliver Cromwell, was a part of the Parliamentarian rebellion against the Royalists. The "old army", as you put it, did not answer to a Parliament - they were the Royalist army.

Oliver Cromwell created the New Model Army in 1645 to improve the effectiveness and discipline of the Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War. He aimed to establish a professional, well-trained army that could stand up against the Royalists. The New Model Army emphasized meritocracy and promoted soldiers based on ability rather than social class, which contributed to its success in battles. This reorganization ultimately helped secure a Parliamentary victory and laid the groundwork for Cromwell's later political power.

The Royalists did not like Oliver Cromwell because he was the leader of the enemy: the Parliamentarian (or Roundhead) Army.
