As an official of the Ming Dynasty, it is most appropriate that William Adams directly intervened in the United Court to become one of them. However, as for Fernando, he still holds the nobility of Portugal and can become the representative of Portugal in the United Court. Zhu Yicheng was not worried at all about diplomatic officials of the two countries. Although the establishment of a United Court was of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty, Portugal and Britain, which are cooperative relations, could also gain huge benefits.

As long as someone with some brains is naturally not going to refuse this request. As for others, it is even easier. Then, through relationships, I will find some missionaries or merchants from France, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries to become participants. As long as the Ming Dynasty firmly controls the decision-making power of the joint court, these are just a way to establish the authority of the court.

When the news quickly reached George Churchill, the guy immediately understood Zhu Yicheng's intention to establish a joint court.

"So, this time you will be one of the judges of the United Court?" George Churchill asked with a smile when facing William Adams sitting in front of him.

"Of course." William Adams did not go north, but stayed in Nanjing. As soon as he received the order sent from Beijing, he immediately found George Churchill and told him about the matter.

Personally, William Adams was very happy with this appointment. Although he has now become an official of the Ming Dynasty and has directly entered the Ming Dynasty nationality, because of his special status, he did not hold a real position in the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yicheng was only concerned about William Adams because of his ability in science. After all, as an outstanding student at a prestigious university in the UK, William Adams was still very good at mathematics, physics and even chemistry. In addition, the Ming Dynasty needed such talents at that time. After Huang Luzhuang's recommendation and "interview" with William Adams, Zhu Yicheng used him.

Later, with the continuous development of the Royal Academy, the Ming Dynasty's technology also made rapid progress. In addition, William Adams did not belong to a real scientific researcher in terms of personality, so his official position began to be appropriately adjusted, and gradually changed from a technical official to a foreign affairs official.

Just like now William Adams's official position as a senator in the Associate Department, this position is really not low, and it is a fourth-rank. However, the main job of the Associate Department is to deal with external affairs. In other words, William Adams's work is equivalent to the second-in-command of the foreign economic department in later generations and the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

With a high position but not heavy power, this is the current situation of William Adams. This time, Zhu Yicheng made William Adams a judge in the United Court, which gave him the opportunity to make a fortune.

William Adams was an extremely smart man. He immediately understood the importance of this joint court. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was about to become the true ruler of Luzon next, and this joint court might also become a permanent national court. If he could turn from a foreign official to a real official, it would be a great temptation for William Adams.

George Churchill could see clearly what William Adams could understand. Even compared to the former, George Churchill could see the Ming Dynasty's ambitions better from this incident.

He cannot admit that Zhu Yicheng's move was really beautiful. Not only did he use the Manila incident to pull countries to the Ming Dynasty, but he also used the move of establishing a joint court to completely lose legal notices to Luzon in terms of law, and even caused Spain to plummet its international reputation.

As a great British nobleman, George Churchill looked down on these Spanish methods very much. Although the Spanish made a fortune much earlier than the United Kingdom, the rise of Britain also relied on pirates to prosper the country. But no matter what, the British still had some demeanor on the surface. The so-called British gentlemen and robbers were not casually said. When it was profitable, the British could show a righteous side than the whole world, and when they needed to tear off their faces, they could transform into showing their fierce minions.

George Churchill believed that when the joint court trial result came out, the Spanish forces were destined to be completely expelled from the Far East. Of course, the Spanish forces in the Far East have collapsed, but these are two fundamentally different concepts. The former means that the Spanish are isolated by the whole world. Even with the support of France, Spain cannot refute in the face of righteousness and correct judgment.

For George Churchill, the stupid Spaniards are self-reliant, and their current situation is self-inflicted. Although he admires Zhu Yicheng's method of doing this, he is also a little upset about why he did not think of this move first, but it does not mean that he will give up this opportunity.

"My friend, I think the proposal of the United Court is a pioneering move, which is a great progress in promoting world peace and human civilization." George Churchill said righteously: "For the allies of the Ming Dynasty, we Britain support the establishment of the court and are willing to be one of the pioneers of the establishment of this court. In my opinion, the establishment of the United Court will stabilize the order of the entire Far East and even promote this model to the whole world. If there are such institutions in other regions, the world will become more civilized and peaceful."

Facing George Churchill's remarks, William Adams was secretly amused, but he agreed on it on the surface, and asked who the other party would send to participate in the establishment of the court.

"My friend, if it's convenient, let's go together, so that it will facilitate communication on the road." William Adams was a little surprised. He originally thought that George Churchill would send an ordinary person, and now the British fleet commander in Luzon, to participate, who would have thought that George Churchill actually planned to go there in person.

It's normal to think about it carefully. After all, the one who sent troops this time was not the British Royal Fleet, but the British East India Company's fleet. The East India Company is only a semi-official nature and cannot truly represent the United Kingdom. And he, George Churchill, is completely different. As the highest diplomatic official in the Far East formally appointed by Queen Anne of the United Kingdom, he can truly represent the will of Britain and the king.

"Of course there is no problem. Because time is tight, I will board the ship and leave Nanjing the next day, first go to Shanghai and then take a warship to Manila."

"Then let's say that, my friend, come! Let's have a drink for this epoch-making journey." George Churchill smiled and raised the tea cup in front of him and said with tea instead of wine.
