MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 950 2 The Best Way (Medium)

"Your Majesty, I think this method is good. > The method of netting is actually good. I think this method can effectively resolve the conflict between the two sides, and I think it can be accepted by both parties! Moreover, this method is also good for Princess Angelina." Zheng Hong said.

"Yes, I think it's good, this way you can avoid a violent solution! Well, we think so too!"…

Everyone began to agree with an opinion, and this opinion seemed to be agreed by everyone. However, Wang Guorui's face was dark, obviously very dissatisfied with this opinion.

Just now Wilhelmina proposed a plan to deal with Macau, that is, the Portuguese hope to return this Macau to China and let China have sovereignty, so that the Portuguese can agree. However, they suggested that China take this Macao as the fiefdom of Angelina, the daughter of Wang Guorui and Queen Wilhelmina, and then reward him as the fiefdom of that princess. In this way, in fact, Macau is also the fiefdom of Wang Guorui's daughter, and in fact it is still in the hands of China. This kind of fiefdom is actually not uncommon. From ancient times to the present, many royal families in the East and the West have fiefdoms. The so-called "feudalism" means that the system of enfeoffment is adopted, and then pieces of land are entrusted for construction.

This kind of fief existed even in some European monarchy countries in later generations. This time the Portuguese proposed to return the sovereignty of Macau to China, but the condition was to make this Macau the fief of Angelina. In this way, it was actually Wang Guorui. Giving Macau to my daughter will not be a loss.

And this plan has actually been approved by many Chinese officials, especially Zheng Hong. As Wang Guorui's woman, Zheng Hong naturally had no objection. She was afraid that if she objected, it would leave an image of a "jealous woman". Anyway, this Angelina is also Wang Guorui's daughter. According to Chinese tradition, Zheng Hong can be regarded as her "aunt". Hong also chose to agree, anyway, the sovereignty has been taken back.

Moreover, Zheng Hong is also concerned about her own image, especially when it comes to her husband and children born to other women, they often follow traditional Chinese customs to show a "magnanimous" style, so Zheng Hong not only It is not good to oppose, but should support. If you oppose your husband's benefits to children born to other women, then it is easy to be considered by some traditional thinking people as jealousy. In traditional thinking, a jealous woman would be scolded miserably, especially if the emperor's woman was labeled as a "jealous woman", it would be even more miserable.

This new era has just entered, and many old ideas still exist, and it won't be able to be completely eliminated in a short while. So Zheng Hong is still worried about her reputation, so when the sovereignty returns to China, she has to act "magnanimous" and agree to give this Macau to Wang Guorui's daughter as Angelina's fief. All good. In this way, others will think that Zheng Hong is still relatively generous, and his reputation can still be improved a lot.

And other officials also think that this is good, so that the conflict between the two parties can be effectively resolved. And in this way, it can also avoid excessive and obvious policies, and can ensure that local customs will not undergo huge changes to the greatest extent. And after all, the Dutch ruled for hundreds of years, it is impossible to completely erase the local Western cultural influence. Habits built up over hundreds of years are not so easy to undo. So giving this fief to Wang Guorui and Wilhelmina's daughter can greatly ease local conflicts.

But Wang Guorui shook his head and said: "You only saw this point, you didn't see other places! The problem is, you have to remember that although Angelina is my daughter, her surname is not Wang, but Nassau ,do you understand?"

"This..." No one knew what kind of medicine Wang Guorui sold in his gourd.

Wang Guorui then explained: "It seems that you still don't understand that Angelina is not our Chinese princess, do you understand? Although Angelina is my daughter, it does not mean that she is a Chinese princess. She is The first heir of the Netherlands, she is only a princess of the Netherlands, not our Chinese princess. If we canonize her as a Chinese princess, then what will it be? You must know that even in the West, whether it is between the royal family Marrying into a family will inevitably give up the royal status of the country in the past. Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, also entered the United Kingdom. You must know that I married Wilhelmina in my personal capacity. It's not a marriage between two countries, understand?"

"Maybe in your hearts, as long as the daughter of our king is considered a princess, no matter whether she has a title or not, or she was born publicly or illegitimately. But if we admit that she is our Chinese princess, what will be the consequences? Then Inevitably, Angelina is required to give up her Dutch nationality and become a Chinese citizen. Angelina's status as the first heir to the Dutch throne will be revoked at that time, what kind of thing is this!"

"So, this means that the thinking of the East and the West is different. In our China, it is absolutely measured by blood, but the West requires that the name be justified, and illegitimate children will not be recognized, absolutely not. We also have legitimate sons and **** in China. The difference, but in the West there is absolutely no such concept, and illegitimate children will never be recognized. Even if they are extinct, they will not be recognized, understand? You may not be clear about the complexity of royal marriages in European countries. It just takes you by surprise.”

"If we give Angelina this Macao as a fiefdom today, then what will she be entrusted with? A Chinese princess, she must become a Chinese citizen, otherwise it is not suitable for our Chinese laws. Otherwise, if the princess of the country is Isn’t it a big joke if you are not a native of the country? Although you may think that all the daughters born to a monarch are princesses, folks and traditional thinking think so, but it is legally unacceptable. If you don’t join China Nationality also rewards this fief to a 'foreigner', so this problem is even more troublesome. Maybe she is my daughter and can get the reward today, and tomorrow more bad things will follow. If we He casually granted his territory to foreigners, so what is this? Ceding the land?"

"So, although it is theoretically possible to grant a fiefdom, it is based on our Chinese tradition, but it cannot be passed in terms of the future rule of law. How will we define this fiefdom at that time, and give it to a foreigner? Doesn’t that count as cutting land?”

"But the solution is to allow Angelina to become a Chinese citizen, which is also impossible. Because Angelina will be the first heir of the Netherlands in the future, her surname is Nassau, not Wang. So once she becomes a Chinese citizen , that means that the Netherlands must give up. Because it is impossible for the Netherlands to allow a foreigner to inherit the position of their monarch? You should also know that even if European countries marry each other, if they inherit the status of a foreign monarch , then you must give up your original nationality, this is inevitable. I have never heard of letting a foreigner, who does not even have a nationality, inherit the status of the king of his country, this is simply a joke."

"So, this one definitely won't pass. I think Queen Wilhelmina and Angelina are also unlikely to lose the Netherlands for the sake of Macau, right?"

Wang Guorui's meaning was very obvious. In fact, he was telling them that although he could bestow this Macao on his daughter, the future legal status of his daughter would be very embarrassing. Perhaps ordinary Chinese people and even most Chinese officials will think that "she" is a Chinese princess because she has the blood of the Chinese royal family. But this kind of bloodline cannot be used as a legal basis, and it is impossible to use it as a legal basis for defining things. If Angelina is to be rewarded, she must be a Chinese. But if she is a "Chinese", that means giving up her status as the number one heir of the Netherlands, which would be a bigger loss for her. Wouldn't it be so stupid for a Macau?

But even if China wants to give a prince or princess a feudal title~www.novelbuddy.com~, it can't give it to a "foreigner"! She has the blood of the Chinese royal family, so what? But if you give a feudal title to a person who does not have the nationality of your own country, what is it? Is it ceding land? This is also unworkable. After all, enfeoffing land to foreigners is simply nonsense, and there has been no such reason since ancient times.

So maybe Wang Guorui can suppress these things at present, maybe the common people in this era are not wise enough to be fooled easily. But in a few decades, the consequences of this will be unimaginable. At that time, the legal status of the land of Macau and more problems will be highlighted, and the consequences will be even more troublesome. At that time, there will be a lot of bad things left, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

How will the legal circles define this fiefdom? Decades later, it is really enough to cause a lot of disputes, and maybe even more troubles. At that time, it will definitely not be under a territorial dispute in Macau. Wang Guorui would not do such a stupid thing that leaves such a huge loophole in the domestic judicial system. Decades later, the legal status of this fiefdom is definitely a huge time bomb, who knows when it will suddenly explode? Wang Guorui could hold back when he was alive, but what if Wang Guorui is gone? I'm afraid it won't be able to be suppressed at all. After all, ruling the country by law is the recognized path in the future, regardless of whether it is the East or the West. Such a huge legal loophole, and it still involves territory, cannot be underestimated. (To be continued.) 8
