Chapter 620

"My dear, they actually want you to be king! It's really unimaginable!" Countess Helen said in surprise, but her tone was full of joy.

For a long time, she was a female nobleman with no status. She had an unsuccessful marriage, was poor and was molested by others, and no one cared about her, but now she is very likely to accompany her new husband, sit on the The throne of England.

Zhu Yongrong shook his head, his new wife did not have the slightest political sensitivity, although she was an aristocrat, she did not have any real political experience.Although Zhu Yongrong himself is not involved in politics, he is a businessman through and through, but he is considered the clan of the Ming Dynasty after all, he understands the politics of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter whether it is the clan or the meritorious ranks of the Ming Dynasty, Da Ming is not allowed to interfere in politics randomly.

Zhu Yongrong was very alarmed by the request of this group of British MPs. He didn't say anything, he didn't even give a positive response, and he didn't say whether he agreed or not. After changing the topic, he asked these MPs to go back .

Sidney and the others were not surprised, nor were they unclear. The so-called Prince of Ming was more of a ceremonial role, which only represented the history of Daming and their kinship with the emperor.They are not allowed to get involved in politics, and are not even allowed to make political comments at will.

At this point, both parties in the British Parliament actually think it is a wonderful thing.Politics should be handled by dedicated politicians, and those nobles or kings should be given full respect by ministers and parliamentarians.

Zhu Yongrong must have no way to decide these things, so Zhu Yongrong will definitely ask the Ming officials for instructions, and this is what Sidney and others want to see. They need such a king who is very critical to the huge empire, and And maintain a certain degree of independence.At this time, it is obviously even more unrealistic to invite the restored emperor to be the king of England, and Britain does not want to become the body of Ming Dynasty.Italy looks very fierce, but the outside world generally believes that they are just Daming's dogs, without any real autonomy and diplomacy.

These politicians of the parliamentary faction believed that if things develop according to the route they imagined, and Zhu Yongrong, as the Prince of Ming Dynasty, can become the king of England, then there is a certain relationship between Britain and Ming Dynasty, and the cooperation between the two parties will be closer. It will also assume the responsibility of guarding England's security.On the other hand, Zhu Yongrong, the monarch, is more of a ceremonial role, and the political affairs of the UK will be handed over to their parliament and the cabinet ministers elected from the parliament.

Britain can continue to safeguard its own national interests, such as having colonies that belong to Britain.At the same time, they also achieved the two most critical goals. The first is to overthrow the Catholic King James II and let the country continue to maintain the state of Anglicanism; The power of self-preservation has been surpassed by France, and more security commitments have been made.

It can be said that the idea that Sidney and others came up with is really a chicken thief.Members of the British Parliament, through this operation, the emerging capitalist class replaced a pagan monarch they did not like with a Protestant monarch (Countess Helen), maintained their Anglican tradition, and at the same time received the protection of Ming Dynasty, and Relatively independent from Daming.

"It's a 'genius' idea."

Bai Mingxiu jokingly said to Sister Lion that Bai Mingxiu, who had already returned to the capital, received the news an hour after Zhu Yongrong was visited.Zhu Yongrong did not dare to be negligent, and immediately called the embassy and consulate to report the situation, and the diplomatic office and Jin Yiwei immediately passed the information to him.

Sister Lion pointed out bluntly: "All of this is based on fantasy, and things will never develop completely according to their fantasy."

That's right, the British don't know whether Zhu Yongrong will agree, or whether the Emperor Ming Guangfu and the Council behind him will agree; the British also don't know whether Daming will just follow the British series It is not known whether Ming is willing to provide various security promises just because of a prince.

Sister Lion sat opposite Bai Mingxiu, she still had the stunning appearance of Yujie, making people intoxicated by her beauty and figure.And when she talks about these things, she can make people feel a heart-wrenching temperament.

"If you want to overthrow James II, then Ming Dynasty will definitely need to send troops to support the coup. In fact, the British army is still in a wait-and-see state. Most of the British army will not take the initiative to provoke the leader. The main force, they count on external forces to become the fuse to change the situation. Daming has a marine corps of more than 1000 people in Plymouth, and it is still mechanized. If a coup is to be launched, it will be easy. One of the key reasons why members of the parliament chose His Royal Highness King Min."

Bai Mingxiu seemed to be talking about something irrelevant, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen Zhu Yongrong for seven or eight years."

Sister Lion still analyzed in her own way: "I am going to set up military bases in different countries, and if we directly participate in this coup, it must be a warning to some countries. But we have troops stationed in other countries, in fact, there are also Indirect or direct interference in the other party's politics is at least in line with our Ming's interests. It would be too stupid if we don't do anything at all. I'm afraid we need our cabinet and think tanks to do some analysis. If we realize this kind of blood relationship with the UK, How can it help Daming?"

Bai Mingxiu spoke at this time: "How Zhu Yongrong chooses is his business. If he is willing to be the king of England, then he will be the king. Anyway, he is the king of Min, and his son is still in the country. He was the one who gave birth to his ex-wife. I have the impression that my father mentioned to me several times that the young man is very smart and studied geology. If Zhu Yongrong succeeds the king of England, I will let him step down as king of Min and let his son succeed him. .As for Ming’s commitment to Britain’s security, it’s nothing to talk about.”

Sister Lion looked at Bai Mingxiu's plain expression of "keep his ears off the window", and knew that this guy had already had an idea in his head, so she asked: "Zhu Yongrong can really be the king of England, and it will be helpful to Ming's interests." Yes, but the British want to rely on a ceremonial throne to extract so many things, and we are at a disadvantage, so what does Your Majesty want in exchange?"

Bai Mingxiu laughed, and said: "The sovereignty of the British North American colonies is open to Daming, and they are jointly managed by Ming and Ying. How about the situation being guided by the overseas leaders of Daming North America? Open the border and accept the law. Zero tariffs, give us the right to control and flow of personnel, Taxes are split in half."
