Chapter 1236: Bed Diplomacy with Charles II

"I think we're going to have to send someone to meet with Charlie, King of America...... The situation in the Americas, I think it's the same as in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Kingdom of New Spain has a lot of people, and there are more than a hundred years of operation, that is, Cao Mengde, who occupies the knowledge of heaven. And our Xinzhou United States and Jiaqing Kingdom rely on high mountains and water risks, and have the help of our father and brother, so the soldiers are full of food, and they can be regarded as Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou. And these King Charles of England were originally lost dogs, sending people everywhere under the fence, and today they can actually get an American king, which is undoubtedly an Uncle Liuhuang. We can't afford to ignore it! ”

It was Jabs who was talking, he had been with the Manchus for a long time, and he had studied "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - it was the Manchu military book! So he also developed a habit of saying the Three Kingdoms as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Shaoyou is the ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the head of the ambassadors of the Ming Empire to European countries (excluding the Ottomans), when he heard Jabbs talk about the Three Kingdoms, he snorted and said: "Shopkeeper Jia, according to what you said, do we still have to get a Sun Shangxiang to marry Charles II as the queen?" ”

Jabbs actually slapped his face and said with a smile: "High! is still a wise man, Charles II is not married...... I didn't think of that! ”

"You didn't expect ......" Li Shaoyou just shook his head and said in his heart: It's useless to think about it! The Great Ming Dynasty and this Charles II are not people in the same circle, and it is impossible to marry!

Ren Zhen, the ambassador to the United Kingdom, is also the second generation of Kenan, and his father served as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and he also has the title of earl. He himself was a diplomat who graduated from Nanjing University, had been engaged in diplomacy in the Ottoman Empire earlier, and knew a little about the rules of marriage here in Europe. He shook his head and said, "It's not good, is it?" Charles II was a Catholic...... And Princess Daming's marriage is not something we can talk about! ”

"Princess Daming?" Jabbs was stunned, "Ambassador Ren, you misunderstood, where can I be a matchmaker for the princess?" I'm the sister of the Son of Heaven, Mary, who wants to be the Son of Heaven. Mancini as a matchmaker. ”

"Hourtens. Mancini? Ren Zhen hadn't heard much of this person, "Can Charles II marry her?" And is she close to us? ”

Huang Jiang interjected: "She is the niece of Bishop Mazarin, she just turned 20 years old this year, she is very beautiful, Charles II fell in love with her at first sight a few years ago, and proposed to her, but it was unsuccessful because of Mazarin's opposition. Because of her sister Mary's relationship, she has a good relationship with us...... You can also receive a large stipend from the Mancini Tea Shop every month!

In addition, her mother, Madame Mancini, wanted to marry her to the King of the United States as a concubine, and arranged for her to communicate with the King of the United States. But this thing didn't work out, and now this Houertansi is still Yunying unmarried, and Charles II is not married, so we just want to contribute to a good thing. ”

In fact, I want to promote Houertans. Mancini and the "local tyrant king" Zhu Hehao married the sister of Houertans, Mary. Mancini. For this Mary. Mancini didn't bother to do a lot of matchmaking between the two, and even let the two of them exchange portraits, and it seemed that good things were about to succeed.

But Zhu Cihong disagreed with Houertans. Mancini became the concubine of Zhu and Hao, and Mary didn't want her sister to be a "little" like herself, so this matter was yellow, but it was not yellow, and Emperor Zhu couldn't help Mary's pillow wind, and promised to match the good things of Houertansi and the "charter king......

And this has not worked out yet, but it has delayed Hourtens. The marriage of Mancini and the Duke of Ramérière, so Hourdens. Mancini is still unmarried.

However, these people in Europe didn't know that Houertans could become the princess of Fu, otherwise they wouldn't have disturbed the good deeds of the "charter king" - Houertans is a great beauty!

"Can this be done?" Ren Zhen was still a little skeptical, "Although Houertans is Mazarin's niece's daughter, she is not close to Charles II, right?" He was about to become the king of the United States. ”

"Not bad," said Jabbs, shaking his head, "she's a rich woman!" Most of Mazarin's inheritance was given to her, and she also had a stake in the Mancini Tea House. ”

Houertens's shares are not taken for nothing, she is a red and purple figure in the French celebrity circle, and she is the spokesperson of Mancini's milk tea! Mancini's milk tea swept the French court and high society, and she has a share of the credit.

The French court was the birthplace of European fashion in this era, and these dignitaries and nobles in France began to drink milk tea, and the powerful and rich men in other parts of Europe were allowed to follow suit...... Of course, the Mancini Tea House is not only a business that sells black tea, it also sells wine, selling French wines to China.

If there are contacts and contacts, it is a good deal!

So on the side of Daming, the name of the Mancini Tea Store is the Mancini Wine Shop, which is also a good deal with a lot of money!

"Does she have a knighthood?" Ren Zhen asked.

"Of course!" "She's the Countess of the United States of New Continent. ”

This countess was Mary. Mancini bought it for his sister, it's genuine and internationally recognized!

Jabbs laughed: "The countess of the United States of New Cyprus marries the king of the American kingdom and can bring a dowry of several million francs, Charles II has no reason to refuse, right?" ”

Ren Zhen asked, "But what good do we have?" ”

Li Shaoyou smiled, took the question and said, "Of course there are benefits...... It is a good thing to be able to reconcile the alliance between the Kingdom of America and the Kingdom of New Spain! But we can't push this matter alone, we have to let Louis XIV push it together. ”

"But how do you convince Louis XIV?"

Jabbs shook his head and said, "The key is not Louis XIV, but Houertans himself!" If she could say yes, she herself would be able to move Louis XIV.

As for Charles II, I'll go tell you! ”

Li Shaoyou glanced at Jabbs, "Shopkeeper Jia can still talk to Charles II?" ”

"Of course!" Jabbs smiled, "He's invested a lot of money in my Jale City Bank!" ”

Charles II actually threw his money into Gibbs...... There's no reason not to see each other.

The place where Charles II and Jabbs met was in Calais, France, where the city of Jabs had a branch and a dock.

According to the agreement reached between Charles II and the French, he and his royal party of England would pass through French territory and then go to the Florida peninsula in the New World on French-supplied ships such as Brittany.

In the Don. Huang. After some time on Jose's turf, they would head north to attack the ten British East Coast colonies.

Of course, Charles II, who was about to become king of the United States, was also thinking about his life's eventsβ€”he had a lot of mistresses and a lot of children, but they were all out of wedlock. As a king, he must have a formal marriage and a legitimate heir!

Otherwise, his throne would have to be given to his brother James and his descendants......

And the wife of the king of America is not easy to find, not only must she be a nobleman, but she also has to believe in Catholicism, and she can't be too crazy...... Those female aristocrats in Spain can't stand it!

In addition, the future queen of America must be rich enough to use her own money to cover her husband's shortfall. At the same time, there must be a backstage relationship, and this backstage and relationship can't be too big, otherwise he will become a puppet if he can't do it well as an American king.

And Hourtens. Mancini is quite suitable in every way, and the only thing that worries her is the relationship between her and the Celestial Empire.

Even the mediator is Jabs, a big businessman from the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty," said Gibbs, smiling and speaking fluent French, "your marriage to the Lady of Mancini is not only your marriage to France, but also to the United States of New Continent. To some extent, it can also allow you to get in touch with the big tomorrow! The sister of the Lady of Mancini was the royal mistress of the Son of Heaven...... I don't think you will refuse the friendship of the Ming Empire, the United States of New Continent, and the Kingdom of Jiaqing, right? ”
