The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, looked at the partners proposed by his confidants.
These English nobles were not suitable. They did not have the appeal of King Charles in England.
France supported these nobles and could not compete with the commander-in-chief Oliver Cromwell introduced by the English Parliament.
Again France was unable to work directly with Oliver Cromwell.
This is a representative figure of English Protestantism. He is extremely hostile to Catholic France.
Although France is an alternative to Catholicism, as a Catholic, it has been implementing an anti-Habsburg strategy to help the Protestant German countries fight against the Holy Roman Empire, which is also Catholic.
France did this in order to become the European hegemon.
Bishop Mazarin was also seeking the Holy Roman Emperor for Louis XIV, which was inseparable from the support of many Catholic countries.
France was unable to gain the trust of Oliver Cromwell because of issues such as faith.
Their only choice is to choose among the many royal nobles.
The best candidate was actually King Charles I of England.
But after the tragic defeat of Charles I, he was on the run, and there is no trace of Charles I yet.
Mazarin considered all the candidates, but none of them were qualified. He finally set his sights on Henrietta Marie, wife of Charles I.
Henrietta Maria, the sister of the former King Louis XIII of France, is the aunt of the current King Louis XIV of France.
As a member of the Bourbon family, Henrietta Marie was such a suitable choice for cooperation.
As long as she and Charles I's child are raised to the position of King of England.
There is an important link between France and England.
European countries marry each other, which does not affect each other's attacks at all.
France and Spain were at war many times, and Mazarin was also preparing for Louis XIV to marry the Spanish royal princess.
The intermarriage between the German Federation and the German families had no impact at all on the chaotic war between the two forces.
Under normal circumstances, the relationship between England and France would not be so close due to different interests.
But now is an extraordinary period, and Han Chinese forces have arrived in Europe.
Their powerful navy will definitely make island countries like England nervous.
The British colonies in America are now unstable.
There is another Han Chinese force that is fighting for colonies in America and England, with casualties on both sides.
The situation in the colonies, if it were in peacetime, would have aroused England's alarm.
But now that England is in civil strife, even those with insight see the risks to the colonies.
They were also incapable of preserving the colony in the midst of chaos.
But the British nobles already knew the risks of Han influence in Europe.
The French Prime Minister, Bishop Mazarin, looked at everyone and stated his choice.
Everyone was stunned for a moment at first, then they immediately applauded.
“What the bishop did is really admirable.
Which force in England is close to our country? Princess Henrietta Marie, the sister of His Majesty Louis XIII, must be on the list. "
"After Oliver Cromwell defeated the royalists, he took control of the situation in England.
He was proud of his defeat of Charles I and would certainly not allow him to remain king.
Now we crown Princess Henrietta Marie's child as King of England.
This child is the first in line to the throne of England, and the resistance to his ascendancy will definitely be the lowest.
Even in the English parliamentary army, they only opposed Charles I, not the King of England.
For example, Thomas Fairfax, an important general of the English Parliamentary faction, publicly supported the king's existence many times. "
"The attitude shown by Oliver Cromwell was frightening, and many people in the English Parliament just wanted a constitutional monarchy.
Oliver Cromwell wanted to establish a republic and abolish the monarch.
Once Oliver Cromwell's idea was implemented, it would definitely cause a huge shock in Europe.
Even if it affects us in France, we must not let him succeed. "
"The bishop has a sharp vision and guides us on the confused road.
Let the child of Princess Henrietta Marie become the King of England. This is a condition acceptable to all forces in England, and it is also a condition acceptable to us in France.
Once all parties agree to this condition, the situation in England can quickly improve.
The British navy on standby in the port will also go out of the port and become an important part of the fight against the Han forces. "
When the French nobles heard about the method Mazaran came up with, they also believed that this method could indeed solve the current problem.
Prime Minister Mazaran saw that everyone supported this method, and he immediately issued an order: "The Marquis of Tyrindall will initiate England and convey our idea of mediating the civil war in England."
…………………………
London, England, in the Xiaohui Chamber of Parliament, the French Marquis Tyrion Doyle accepted questions from various forces in England.
As the commander-in-chief of the New Model Army, Oliver Cromwell had taken control of most of the English army after defeating the Royalists.
In this troubled world, only the generals who lead the army can control all the power.
Oliver Cromwell also had extraordinary means, and he had basically controlled the situation in Parliament.
As a commander-in-chief, Oliver Cromwell would never have been checked by Parliament.
If he finds out, he will also want to restrain himself and will dissolve the parliament without hesitation.
Of course, this was when he held the highest power in England, and he is now climbing up the ladder.
Oliver Cromwell was dissatisfied when he saw the attitude of the MPs beside him because they were afraid of France.
He took the initiative to stand up and asked: "This is our internal affairs in England, why does France want to get involved in things that we should encourage internally?"
I remember that Louis XIV had not yet been crowned Holy Roman Emperor.
Even if Louis XIV were crowned Holy Roman Emperor, he would not be able to govern us in England. "
Oliver Cromwell sneered that he had not thought of France meddling in English affairs.
Or when he had already won a great victory and only the finishing touches were left, he suddenly intervened.
Marquis Tyrindall smiled and said: "Commander Oliver Cromwell misunderstood, we France are only here to mediate the English Civil War.
Everyone is very aware of the current situation in Europe.
If internal consumption continues, there will be no place for countries like us in Europe.
You all know the situation in the British North American colonies very clearly.
The colonies can be lost, but you, England, still want to lose the British Isles.
King Louis XIV of France has decided that for the future of Europe, we in France will do our best to mediate the civil strife in England. "
When Oliver Cromwell heard the French envoy say this, he knew that France was paying homage first and then fighting.
France's strength has been demonstrated in the Thirty Years' War in Europe.
The New Model Army under his command did not perform satisfactorily during the civil strife.
In the early stage, they were defeated many times by the royalist army. If Charles I had not randomly intervened in the army's command, the battle would have been without rules.
Oliver Cromwell had no chance to train his troops at all, and finally trained an elite army to completely defeat the royalist army.
But compared with the elite troops trained by France after decades of combat, this elite is still slightly inferior.
Before the civil strife, what they feared most was the intervention of other forces.
Now that this happens, they must respond correctly.
Oliver Cromwell saw the emerging aristocracy beside him.
The main forces in the parliament now are all nobles who are invested in emerging things.
They are nobles, but more like businessmen.
As long as the price is sufficient, these people can sell anything.
The backbone of the emerging nobles is indeed not as strong as the old nobles.
When Oliver Cromwell saw this situation, he was really afraid that after he raised objections, these nobles would sell him out privately.
These nobles can definitely do this kind of thing.
After Oliver Cromwell thought for a moment, he asked: "What are your French mediation opinions?"
He must first understand what France wants to achieve, and then he can bargain.
Marquis Tyrindall said solemnly: "We hope that England will end the war as soon as possible and that European countries will unite to jointly deal with the crisis of Han forces invading Europe."
Oliver Cromwell could hear the firm attitude of France from the Marquis of Tyrindall.
If they do not agree to mediation, France will really choose to directly send troops to mediate regardless of the checks and balances of all parties.
As a soldier, Oliver Cromwell was already the toughest man here.
He took off his white gloves, threw them on the table, and said angrily: "After Charles I was defeated, he now doesn't know where he ended up.
Maybe they want to unite with the local forces in Scotland and continue fighting with us.
If France wants to mediate the civil war, it must show sincerity.
If you can persuade Charles I to accept a constitutional monarchy and all rights in England belong to Parliament, peace talks can continue. "
The root cause of the civil war in England was the conflict between Parliament and the King.
Parliament wanted to control the power of England, support the development of Britain's emerging nobility, and increase investment in the colonies.
King Charles I opposed Parliament taking power.
The conflict between the king and parliament gradually increased, eventually leading to the outbreak of civil war.
If Charles I could accept a constitutional monarchy.
A long-cherished wish came true.
There is no need for them to completely drive away the royal party without losing blood.
Tyrindall continued to have a fake smile on his face.
What he said was like a thunder that struck everyone in the council.
“We couldn’t find Charles I either, but Charles I was unimportant.
After this war in England, your grudges with Charles I deepened.
You can really rest assured that he will return to England as king.
Here I have a better idea for making a child of Charles I the King of England.
As for whether England implements a constitutional monarchy, that is your country's system, and I will no longer get involved. "
When Oliver Cromwell heard this advice, he accepted it easily.
If Charles I becomes king again, Oliver Cromwell will definitely obstruct it in every possible way.
As the person who had the deepest hatred against Charles I, he really didn't dare to let Charles I come back.
But a child, a child without power, that's totally fine.
Even the child of Charles I, a virtual king with no rights, would not have an impact on them.
Accepting France's mediation plan, they basically achieved the benefits they wanted to obtain before the war.
"France has this kind of request, and we can accept it."
"If France does not interfere with our implementation of a constitutional monarchy, we will accept mediation."
"As long as a constitutional monarchy can be established, I don't have a big problem with who should be the king."
Oliver Cromwell heard the people around him, and they all spoke in favor of this plan.
These people saw that the mediation plan had basically no impact on them, and there was pressure from France, a powerful European country.
After weighing the pros and cons, they all agreed to France's suggestion.
When Oliver Cromwell saw this situation, he could only agree to this mediation plan.
…………………………
Oliver Cromwell looked at the new king accepting the courtesy of his ministers.
The teenage king will be the first in England to embrace a constitutional monarchy.
The King of England officially became a virtual king and the first virtual king in European history, holding no power.
The King of England ascended the throne, which represented France's success in mediating the civil strife in England.
Charles I was indeed hiding in England. He wanted to use local forces in England to make a comeback, but he failed to reach a consensus with the local forces.
After the two forces of England and England reached an armistice, Charles I was directly expelled from the country by England and was never allowed to enter the country.
Oliver Cromwell also got his wish and became the most powerful Prime Minister in England.
England officially entered the era of constitutional monarchy.
This peculiar system made many people in the world realize that kings and emperors were not important at all.
The idea of constitutional monarchy also began to spread to the European continent.
The passing merchant ships also carried this news to all parts of the world.
Mazarin, the French Prime Minister, felt incredible when he heard about the constitutional monarchy implemented in England.
The constitutional monarchy of England was completely contrary to Mazarin's views.
The British Parliament implements a constitutional monarchy and believes that the monarch is of no use at all. Being a mascot is the greatest help to the country.
Mazarin was completely different. Together with his teacher Richelieu, he established France's centralized system.
He has been strengthening the power of Louis XIV, because only power can lead France further.
Mazarin did not want to consider England's constitutional monarchy.
His most important thing now is to unite European countries to deal with the threat posed by the invasion of Europe by Han forces.
During this time, Mazaran had established good contacts with various European countries.
Especially Spain, which suffered losses at the hands of the Great China Empire.
Even if the relationship between the two countries is not good, they can still unite for the common enemy.
Now coupled with the British Navy, Europe's large-scale naval powers have reached a consensus.
They are ready to unite and drive the Han forces completely out of Europe.
Mazaran knew that what he could do was the limit.
Next, it depends on whether the navies of various countries are stronger or the navy of the Han people is stronger.
If they cannot drive the Han forces out of Europe as soon as possible, then European countries will be in danger.
Let alone organize armies and go to various parts of the world to seize colonies.
It will be very difficult for them to even protect their homeland. (End of chapter)
