There are no secrets in the doors of the mansion. When Chen Yu returned to his yard, his wife Wu Jun stepped forward and complained hatefully: "Master, you are also the biological son of your uncle, why do you just want to be angry with you?" You are really, why did you show up in front of your uncle if you had nothing to do? Knowing that he was born to his aunt, why not be honest? ”

Chen Yu's face changed slightly, no matter how you say it, she is talking about her biological mother. Although he has passed away a long time ago, he always feels harsh when he hears it. However, thinking of Wu Jun's strength since marriage, Chen Yu lowered his head and endured it. Wu Jun was born in the Hou Mansion, although he was a concubine like Chen Yu, he always felt that this marriage was a subordinate marriage, especially because he was not used to Chen Yu's cowardice.

"Dad, mother!" Just when Wu Jun wanted to continue to blame, a teenage girl came in at the door. Her name is Chen Lianshu, and she is the only daughter of Chen Yu and Wu Jun. The little girl is quiet and beautiful, but her eyes are smart. She quietly stood in the way between her parents, making it impossible for the quarrel to continue.

Chen Yu patted Chen Lianshu's little head dotingly, understanding that her daughter was doing her a favor. Wu Jun smiled helplessly and scolded: "Look at you, spoil your daughter like that?" I don't know who I can find in the future? You also have to be careful and prepare more dowry for Shu'er. If the dowry is less, the in-laws will look down on it. ”

Finally found an opportunity, Chen Yu could distinguish a few words: "Madam, isn't that what I think?" I wanted to go out early to do things, but I didn't expect to meet my uncle and eldest brother? Hey——! ”

Hearing this, Wu Jun was also very helpless: "It's true, it's all a family, why bother to be biased?" Uncle himself is difficult to protect, and I don't know when this family will be dispersed. ”

Since Sui Anbo and Chen Shu are still there, according to the rules of this era, the son and the unmarried daughter are not allowed to move out alone, and they will not move out until the son, that is, Chen Wei's eldest brother Chen Wei, becomes Sui Anbo, and the other brothers will move out of the family.

And Chen Yu's status in the mansion is very low, and he is not even as good as a few housekeepers with high positions. Therefore, Chen Yu has always been used as a high-ranking subordinate in the house, and he has not been able to arrange an errand outside like other brothers.

Chen Yu didn't care about it, he had been working hard and doing things very diligently, but he felt that he was very easy to use, so he was even more reluctant to release Chen Yu out of the Bofu. However, as a result, Chen Yu himself became very disadvantaged, and his monthly routine money was not much more, and he was called casually. To be honest, it's really better to split up, relying on Wu Jun's mother's family, you can always be well-off, right?

But as soon as he heard this, Chen Song hurriedly stopped: "Madam, don't talk nonsense, the wall has ears!" That's my father's eldest brother, good or bad as a family. ”

"Do we treat you like family? Forget it, you'll be a good person! ”

"Hey——!"

Holding his daughter, Chen Yu sighed in his heart. It's sad to think about these days. He suddenly remembered that when he was young, he was sent to Jiangnan by the government to do a few years as a steward and manage the industry there. At that time, I had a crush on outside, and I lived together secretly for several years, and I had three lovely sons.

But then he was called back to the capital, and he thought that he would take them back later, but he didn't expect that his family arranged this family affair for himself? Although he secretly sent someone to send money a few times, he was later noticed by Wu Jun. After some quibbles, he finally got through the tricks, but the money around him was all controlled by Wu Jun, so he could only let the mother and son fend for themselves......

Thinking of this, Chen Song couldn't help but shake his head again, his personality led to regrets again and again. However, when he lowered his head and saw his daughter's bright smiling face, he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Forget it! It's enough to have a good daughter! ”

……

Luzon, Manila named by Spanish colonists.

The sea is rippling, and a Carrak-type sailing ship is ready to set sail. On the dock walked side by side, an old man and a young man, the old one instructing: "Major Carlos, your mission this time is to prepare for the expedition, and it is the future of the kingdom. Your ship is to disguise itself as a merchant ship, scout the coast of the rich empire of the East, and choose a landing site for the upcoming expedition. And by the way, I went to Japan, hoping to recruit more mercenaries. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!"

The Spanish colonizers had long coveted China. Seven or eight years ago, Sander, then Governor of Manila, wrote to the king: "...... This undertaking (i.e., the conquest of China) was easy to carry out and inexpensive. He also began to actively investigate and analyze China's national conditions and people's conditions, and conducted reconnaissance along the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong, and other places, familiarized himself with waterways, and drew maps.

In his report, Sander also elaborated on his plan to invade China: "This expedition required 4,000 to 6,000 men, armed with spears, guns, boats, cannons, and the necessary ammunition"; "With 2,000 to 3,000 men, it is enough to occupy the province to be occupied, and with the ports and fleets there, it is very easy to form the largest power on the sea, and after conquering one province, it is enough to conquer the whole country."

At this time, Spain can be said to be in full swing. Under the reign of King Philip II, Portugal and its colonies were annexed to another European colonial power, covering an astonishing 12 million square kilometers. And the army and navy are as high as 400,000 in total, not only on the sea there is an invincible fleet, but also on land Gonzalo ?? Morality?? Founded by the Duke of Córdoba, a powerful army represented by the Spanish phalanx.

The Duke of Córdoba is quite famous in Western military history, known as the great Gonzalo, the first epoch-making commander of the Firearms Age. And the Spanish Army he founded has dominated the European continent for 200 years!

And it's not a whim, it's very well prepared.

The heads of the Spanish colonial government in Manila, church dignitaries, high-ranking military officers, and other prominent figures convened the Manila Assembly to discuss the conquest of China. The participants drafted a memorandum containing 97 articles in 11 paragraphs, led by the Governor and Bishop of the Philippines, and gathered 51 dignitaries to sign and report to the King of Spain.

In the plan, the expeditionary force was planned to consist of 10,000 to 12,000 Spanish soldiers, plus 5,000 Japanese. The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force is the governor of the Philippine Islands. The army consisted of gunners, armor soldiers, and smoothbore gunners, among others. The crew of four galleons was dispatched, along with three or four cannon forgers, as well as 12 craftsmen for weapons and firethrowers, a number of craftsmen who could make asphalt, and shipwrights who could build high-side galleons. And it was hoped that the Indian governor would send a few hundred slaves and contact the priests of Japan to recruit troops. Portuguese participation is required as the Portuguese have a lot of experience in the area. The Portuguese officers were entrusted with important tasks, and the two sides fought in concert and cooperated with each other.
