Tang Dynasty. Huang. José left Vienna with a heavy heart and continued on his way to Madrid.

The reason for his heavy heart was that the reform of the imperial examinations in the Holy Roman Empire was very incomplete - how could the crown prince not take the exam? All the king's sons, including illegitimate children, should be allowed to take the exam together, and then the person with the best grades should be the crown prince, so that the country can prosper!

The monarch of this monarchy must not be confused!

The Kingdom of Spain has learned a great lesson in this regard......

The major monarchies in Europe now, with the exception of Spain, have at least one monarch of normal intelligence. Louis XIV of France is said to be very intelligent; Karl X of Sweden was a brilliant military strategist; Ferdinand III of Austria did not have outstanding military prowess, but it was clear that his imperial reforms would strengthen the cohesion of the Holy Roman Empire, at least the uninherited heirs of disobedient lords, large and small lords, would love His Majesty. The energy of this group of people should not be underestimated! And it is not uncommon for heirs to die early for various reasons......

As for Cromwell, the usurper of England, he was even more wise to the point of making people tremble!

England, which was nothing to mention under the reign of James I and Charles I, has now been built by Cromwell into a hegemonic state on land and sea!

And Spain, thinking of his mission to revitalize Spain and his damned illegitimate status, Don. Huang. José was so sad that he wanted to cry, but he tried not to cry...... It wasn't until he arrived in Madrid on December 6, 1657, that he couldn't help but feel the wellspring.

As soon as he saw that Madrid, which had been in tatters, was beautifully decorated, and that the city was full of the brief joy that his father, Philip IV, had spent a lot of gold in exchange, he knew that something particularly bad had happened!

It must have been his father, Philip IV, and his cousin Maria. Anna gave birth to a son!

Because only when Spain has won a major victory, a king is crowned or a crown prince is born, will the dilapidated Madrid be dressed up as a city of joy.

Major victories are impossible, but major defeats are ...... And it looks like it's going to keep failing!

The coronation of the king is impossible, even if Philip IV has just died. Teresa was not so quick to be coronated.

After two impossibilities, there is only one possibility left! It's Don. Huang. Jose's father and Don. Huang. José's cousin finally produced a son - Don. Huang. José had heard about his cousin Maria a few months earlier. When Anna was pregnant, he prayed to God for a healthy and beautiful little sister.

It seems that God did not accede to his request...... It's over, Spain has a faint king again!

Actually, Don. Huang. José was worried too soon, because the man named Philip, who was born on November 28. Prosper's boy was not the next Emperor of Spain - although he was also a child with a stunted brain, he did not make it to the point and died of a seizure at the age of four.

Carlos II, the next emperor of Spain, would not be born until November 6, 1661...... He was also the last emperor of the Spanish Habsburgs.

But now Don. Huang. Neither José nor Philip IV knew about Philip. Prosper didn't live long, so when Don. Huang. By the time José and Garcia arrived at the palace, Philip IV was already dressed and preparing to ride through the streets of Madrid to receive the cheers and blessings of his subjects.

Seeing his most outstanding son appear with a somewhat familiar nobleman, Philip IV danced with joy, strode up and hugged his son and kissed him: "José, you are coming so fast...... The Courier only departed on November 28th, and today is only December 6th, how did you get there? Could it be that he passed from France on a fast horse? ”

Passed from France? Tang Dynasty. Huang. José thought to himself: Is this what a person of normal intelligence can say?

"Father," Don. Huang. "I didn't know about the birth of His Royal Highness the Prince when I left Brussels, I came to Madrid for something else. ”

"Okay!" King Philip nodded, then grabbed Garcia and kissed him, and then realized that something was wrong, so he asked, "Who are you?" How come I don't know you? ”

"Your Majesty, I am Garcia, Commander of the Eastern Armadada...... You should know me, I was your guard officer. ”

"Garcia ......" King Philip has a very poor memory, but he just thinks that he has seen this name somewhere the other day, and he just can't remember it.

One of his secretaries reminded him: "Your Majesty, you just signed the order three days ago to dismiss Garcia, the commander of the Eastern Armada, and arrest him!" ”

"Yes, yes, there is such a thing...... King Philip turned his head to look at his son, "Jose, you are really capable!" Catch this mediocre and incompetent Garcia so quickly! ”

Scratch? Tang Dynasty. Huang. José was sweating all over his head! Why is my father's getting more and more confused, not very old, only in his fifties, this brain is faint like this, is there any salvation in Spain?

"Father, Admiral Garcia is not my prisoner, but my friend!" Tang Dynasty. Huang. "And he also brought with him a letter from the Marquis de Spinola, the viceroy of New Spain...... The Marquis's letter stated that the defeat of the Eastern Armada was not the responsibility of the admiral, but that the Chinese navy had made great progress. They have an incredibly powerful wooden shell that can destroy our wooden warships. ”

"Really?" King Philip nodded, "Well, since it's your friend, I can revoke the order to arrest Garcia." As he spoke, the King of Spain waved at Garcia and motioned for him to disappear.

Knowing that he didn't have to go to jail, Garcia hurriedly bowed to the king and disappeared from Philip IV's eyes as if fleeing.

Tang Dynasty. Huang. José pulled out a letter from the Marquis de Spinola and handed it to the king with both hands.

"What was written?" Philip IV took the letter, but instead of reading it, he asked about his son.

"Said two things," Don. Huang. Jose said, "First, the Ming Empire in the East is entering the New World in a big way...... The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had raised the equivalent of 140 million pesos for the establishment of a joint-stock United States in the New World. ”

"What is a joint-stock United States?" The King of Spain asked.

"Father, that's not the point!" Tang Dynasty. Huang. José was too lazy to explain such a complex issue with Philip IV, "The crux of the matter is 140 million pesos!" The continent we have is under unprecedented threat...... If we don't adopt a-for-tat policy, in 20 years, we will lose the New World! ”

"for tat?" Philip shook his head, "But I don't have 140 million pesos!" ”

"Father, the point of the matter is not the peso."

Philip IV looked at his son, "But you just said that the key is peso!" ”

"This ......" actually went around for the stupid father, Don. Huang. Jose's face darkened slightly, "Father, for the Chinese, the key to fighting for the New World is money!" Because China has a population of more than 100 million, it now has a shipbuilding capacity no less than that of Spain. Sending immigrants to the New World is a matter of how much it costs!

And for us in Spain, the peso can still be figured out, but the population is ...... What should the population do? ”

The King of Spain was silent, and after a moment he smiled bitterly, as if self-deprecatingly: "I, the king of the earth, have neither money nor people...... What to do? ”

"We should seek peace in Europe as much as possible," Don said. Huang. "At the same time devote the main energy to New Spain!" If we can't keep New Spain, then Spain will lose its glory and wealth and become an insignificant country! ”

"What should I do?"

Tang Dynasty. Huang. José said: "The Emperor of China has set up a vassal state for the New World, and you can do the same way, you can upgrade New Spain to a kingdom, and you yourself will be the king, and I can go to Mexico City and be the prime minister of the Kingdom of New Spain." ”
