Chapter 1503 Queen Sophia

"Let Princess Sophia be on the throne?!"

The nobles and squire of the King's Army were in a stir. They remembered that there was a princess who used to make trouble, but she had not made any noise since she went to study in the East a few years ago, which caused everyone to naturally ignore her.

Logically speaking, Princess Sofia is also qualified to participate in the inheritance of the throne.

only……

"We don't know what happened to the princess in the East over the years, nor do we know whether she has the ability to manage a country. She used to be a little expert who likes to cause trouble when she was in London." The nobles of the King's Army looked at me and me, and I looked at you. When they recalled the little daughter of the former king, they all had some bad memories.

Of course it's not bad, but Princess Sophia has always been playful, so it's hard to say that she can equate with the Queen.

"If Princess Sophia is the queen, our garrison in Portsmouth can join the British Civil War with justifiable power and defeat the parliamentary army very easily. You don't need to worry about being defeated by the parliament and then being savagely auctioned off your property."

At this time, Sun Chuanting certainly supported Princess Sofia, who had been baptized by Chinese culture!

Charles I, who spent a lot of money to bribe, was assassinated. Seeing that a large amount of investment was going to waste, the Chinese interest groups represented by Sun Chuanting must carefully consider cooperating with the next British ruler.

Who is more suitable to serve as the queen than Princess Sophia who has been in China for several years, still speaks Chinese, understands Chinese culture, and has seen new things, and is more in line with the interests of groups such as Sun Chuanting?

Not to mention anything else, it is enough to be attractive to communicate directly in Chinese when dealing with it.

Sun Chuanting stood up to support Princess Sophia, which caused an uproar in the King's Army.

They had to weigh the pros and cons.

If the Eastern army joins the battle, it seems that the end of the civil war can be accelerated, avoid the victory of the parliament, and avoid the French from intervening in England's affairs. But this means that the Eastern people will intervene in the civil war in England. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The nobles and gentry of the King's Army discussed fiercely all day long. They had to take care of Sun Chuanting's face and dared not express their concerns in front of him, but Sun Chuanting naturally knew their concerns.

After the meeting, the great men of the Kings Army still did not think of which candidate should be the king of England and Scotland.

The reason is very simple, the current situation in Britain is very complicated.

First of all, this candidate must make the parliamentary army, King's army, Scotland and Ireland willing to be regarded as kings. This is the king of the United Kingdom, not just a simple thing to select the king of England.

"Is Princess Sophia okay in the East? When we sorted out the king's relics, we found photos of Princess Sophia, which were all handed over to Queen Henrietta. It would be better to be glad that the princess is in the capital of the East at this moment, otherwise Princess Sophia would probably be killed in the attack..." Prince Rupert asked Sun Chuanting after the meeting.

"The princess should be living a good life at this moment, but I don't know how she would react when she learned that the king's family was attacked." Sun Chuanting was a little afraid that Princess Sophia would not accept this fact.

"If Princess Sophia was allowed to serve as the common queen of England and Scotland, would you interfere in the affairs here or change the faith here? This is probably what many nobles and squire are worried about. They are afraid of you, just like the French people affecting our England. Do you know why King Charles would arouse many dissatisfaction, while the former king is not that fierce? The former king married the Danish princess, and there is no faith difference with England. King Charles married the French princess, which is more inclined to the Roman Catholic Church, which is not much the same as ours. Many people suspect that King Charles would surrender to the Roman Catholic Church. You should know the reason... If the current queen is not the French princess, there is no problem with letting Princess Anne be the queen and then letting the queen rule." Chief Military Officer Astrali told Sun Chuanting their concerns.

"Princess Sophia is the daughter of your former king. She has the blood of the Stuart dynasty, and we have no right to interfere with her behavior. We just want the new England to retain a series of treaties we signed with King Charles. This is our demand and why we are willing to stand on your side to deal with the parliament together. If we send troops, we will still withdraw our station to Portsmouth after defeating the parliament and will not control the city of London." Sun Chuanting tried to dispel the other party's concerns.

Behind Astley are the nobles and squire of the King's Army. If Astley can be convinced, it will be easy to persuade the nobles and squire of the King's Army to support Princess Sophia.

"As expected, the question would be simple. Maybe Princess Sophia is a good candidate. But she is far away in the East now, and we cannot contact her. I don't know if she is willing to serve as the queen of the United Kingdom. Even if she is willing to come back, it will probably take two years. No one can take charge of the affairs during this period. I am afraid the entire kingdom will fall into chaos. Could it be that we have to spend two years waiting for Princess Sophia to come back?" Astley raised another question.

"Maybe your parliamentary tradition can be restored, but the parliament must obey Princess Sophia's leadership and recognize our previous treaty of King Charles. It is best to have a royalist serve as a member of the new parliament. In other words, our King's Army can also establish a parliament to temporarily decide on matters for Princess Sophia." Sun Chuanting put forward another idea that surprised everyone.

During this period, Sun Chuanting, based on his understanding of British traditions, parliament was definitely a hurdle that England could not overcome. If we want to completely stabilize the place, we need to let the king and parliament negotiate and reaffirm their respective powers and obligations. Otherwise, even if he supports Princess Sophia as the queen, it will be easy for a civil war to break out again.

As an outsider, Sun Chuanting did not hate the parliament as much as Charles I, and he did not oppose the existence of the parliament. If the parliament had little power, the parliament was just an institution to help the king do things. The most important thing was that they could recognize a series of treaties signed by the Jiuzhou Army and Charles I, and continue to provide convenience for Chinese merchants.

"Our King's Army also established a parliament?" Astrali and other royalists were surprised.

"What's wrong? But the king never acknowledges the legitimacy of the parliament in London. So what if you set up a parliament in Oxford?"
