Chapter 901 The Queen’s Wishes (First update, please subscribe)
With them, we can sleep soundly!
Every time, Queen Mary Charlotte felt a little more at ease when she saw those short mercenaries through the window.
It was with the help of those "southern warriors" that the royal family protected the precarious crown, and their arrival was entirely due to Queen Mary Charlotte. When she failed to seek help from European countries, Mary almost went insane.
, grasping the last life-saving straw in despair.
"The Ming Empire."
Staring at Mexico City outside the window, Mary said in a calm tone to Emperor Maximilian I who had just entered.
"Compared to Europe, they are our strongest ally. My dear, I think it is time to deepen the friendship between the two countries."
"Honey, what do you mean?"
Maximilian I looked at his wife in confusion.
"Supporting their declaration of war against Brazil? We have already supported it. Apart from that, I don't think we can make any other choice. After all, compared to foreign countries, the current affairs in Mexico are already very disturbing.
I have a headache."
As emperor, Maximilian I indeed had a lot of headaches. Even though the republican rebellion had been basically put down with the death of Juárez in 1872 and the attack by the imperial army, the matter was not over.
In the past ten years, he has offended many people by continuously promoting reforms, including the church and manor owners who supported him at the beginning. They are the base of the royalists. Unfortunately, he has not been able to stabilize his base - in order to please
Ordinary people, as an enlightened monarch, he confiscated church land and property, attacked large manor owners and big capitalist interest groups, and cared about the people at the bottom. However, this directly led to the royalist party becoming hostile to him now.
"Many of them do not support me. The policies I formulated are met with resistance in Congress. They always only have personal interests in their eyes and never care about the country. Even if we just confiscate the property of those Republicans and take away their
They do not support the distribution of land to ordinary people because they could have owned the land."
Looking at the emperor's helpless look, Mary said.
"It is precisely because they do not support that we need Daming."
The experience of going to Europe to ask for help ten years ago was a blow to Queen Mary Charlotte. Only she knew it. Faced with the rejection of all countries, she almost suffered a mental breakdown. From then on, South China and now
Daming became the only person she trusted.
"From the day you forced the church to hand over the land to the farmers, they have become your enemies, as have the large estate owners. Of course we need their support, but we cannot rely entirely on them. Daming is another one of ours
Option!"
The Queen's words made Maximilian I helpless.
"I know that you don't believe them, but you also know that now that Daming Capital has penetrated into all aspects of Mexico, many people think that we have given them too much,"
"too much?"
Queen Mary Charlotte sneered.
"When Juarez rebelled, what were they doing? They even colluded with those rebels! Without the warriors from the south, we would have lost the throne long ago. This is why we chose the Ming Dynasty. With the support from the Ming Dynasty, Sofia can
Inherit the throne."
Seven-year-old Sophia was their only daughter. When his wife mentioned Sophia, Maximilian I immediately realized what his wife was thinking.
"Dear, do you mean Sophia? Do you want to confirm her engagement with the Ming Dynasty royal family?"
"Yes, not only that, I also hope that Sophia can go to Daming to study and be with her future husband!"
"Sofia is only 7 years old!"
"I know!"
Walking to her husband's side, Queen Mary Charlotte said in an extremely emotional tone.
"I can't bear to let her go, but, dear, we all know that even if the republican rebellion is put down now, there will still be rebellions in the future. It is not safe for Sophia to stay here. If she leaves here, not only can she
It is safer, and she can also get more help from Daming from her husband. After all, Daming will never give up his investment in Mexico. Maybe you will not be accepted by most Mexicans, but Sofia was born here, we
What is needed is to find stronger support for her. With the support of the Ming Empire and her husband, no one will challenge her crown!"
As a woman, among the queens in Europe, no one is more tenacious than Mary Charlotte, and of course no one is more fragile than her. The betrayal of the royal families in Europe has broken her heart. This is what she hopes to do with the Ming Dynasty.
Reason for marriage.
Because Ming... is not only powerful, but also really willing to interfere.
"My dear, let me think about it."
Facing his wife's persuasion, Maximilian I frowned.
"You know, many people, including the Prime Minister, hope that Sofia's husband would be Mexican. In this case..."
Before her husband could finish his words, Mary refused directly.
"Mexicans? What can they bring to Sofia? Behind the Ming Dynasty's prince is a powerful empire. The Mexicans may not accept the emperor chosen by the Europeans, but the Ming Dynasty... that is also an American country!"
Ming Dynasty is also an American country!
If it was when the Ming Dynasty was first founded, many people thought it was a joke, but now, no one can laugh. After all, the Ming Dynasty has already carved its own sky in South America. Who dares to say that it is not the case? Ask the Ming Dynasty first.
Let’s talk about the fist.
"The Prime Minister and others will definitely not agree with this."
Many people have already turned their attention to Princess Sophia. How could Maximilian I, the emperor, not know about this?
"Your Majesty, there is no need to tell them at the beginning. I heard that Empress Sissi and Empress Eugenie seem to have plans to visit South America. I am going to invite them to visit Mexico. When they go to Ming Dynasty, I will go to Ming Dynasty with them.
.”
As a princess of Belgium, Marie Charlotte certainly knew that Empress Sissi and Empress Eugenie were planning to visit South America. After all, Empress Sissi was her sister-in-law and they were sisters-in-law.
"Maybe, for Sophia, this is the best choice!"
Maximilian I thought for a while and then said.
"However, if you invite them to visit, you must pay attention to the safety of the Queen Mother Eugénie. After all, France... once invaded Mexico!"
