When Marin sent a request for a military visit and a joint military exercise to Spain, the kings Ferdinand II and Juan III happened to be at the Toledo Palace.

There was no way, recently the little prince of Spain Marin was unwell, and he was scared that Ferdinand II, the grandfather, rushed from Zaragoza to visit and take care of him.

Historically, Ferdinand II should have died on January 23, 1516. But in this plane, because Marin helped him keep his only son, Juan, his mood was very different from the original history. Therefore, he did not die as in the original history, but survived, and he was a pet grandson.

The Spanish crown prince Marin is 16 years old, two years older than Caesar, but he is definitely the number one celebrity in the Spanish royal family. Ferdinand II, though a cunning and ruthless man, was a man who pampered his children and grandchildren. On the contrary, he does not care about the life or death of his daughter. His eldest daughter died in childbirth, and he didn't feel anything, and his youngest daughter was wronged in England, and he didn't have any psychological fluctuations. But in history, he was so saddened by the death of his son Juan that he even felt discouraged. Because, the death of his son means the severance of the inheritance of the Trastamara dynasty. As for the children born to his daughter, they belonged to other families, and Ferdinand II did not care. Therefore, in the original history, Ferdinand II and his grandson Charles V competed for the right to speak in Spain, and it was not until his death that Charles V fully controlled Spain.

Unlike his grandson Charles V, Ferdinand II's affection for his grandson, Prince Marin, was boundless. After the death of his son born to his second wife, Ferdinand II pinned his hopes on his grandson Marin. Every year, Prince Marin lived for several months at the court of Zaragoza, where he was taught by Ferdinand II. Now, his grandson is sick in the royal palace of Toledo, and Ferdinand II has come to visit him despite his 64-year-old age.

And, coincidentally, Prince Marin was also infected with a cold, which was similar to that of Juan III, who had a cough caused by a cold or something.

There's nothing to say about this, just put it on the ginger brown sugar water, and it will be effective as soon as you drink it......

So, when Prince Marin drank ginger brown sugar water and his condition began to improve, it was precisely when Ferdinand II and Juan III were most grateful to Marin. Because, the three of them all understood that if it weren't for Ma Lin's treatment of ginger brown sugar water, let alone this grandson, the son's life would not have been saved.

It was against this background that requests for Marin's military visit and joint military exercises were sent to the Royal Palace of Toledo......

After reading Marin's request, Juan III did not dare to make a decision, but asked Ferdinand II, who was hugging his grandson and asking for warmth:

"Father, what do you think?"

Ferdinand II helped his grandson cover the quilt, turned his head and said:

"Since the other party is willing to let us earn tens of thousands of gold coins, why should we refuse? Moreover, you and Marlin Jr. survived, and you should be grateful to him. ”

"But...... Portugal side...... I'm afraid that Sister Maria will be unhappy......" Juan III hesitated. Although he was also grateful to Marin, he was also worried that his sister, Queen Maria of Portugal, would be unhappy, and he was in a dilemma.

Ferdinand II snorted heavily, then left his grandson's bedroom and went to the living room. When he saw Juan III and Queen Margaret coming with him, he rebuked:

"What does Maria think has to do with you? Even though he is your sister, he cannot affect the relations between Spain and Portugal. In the case of Spain and Portugal, both countries would like each other to die, and although they are currently cooperating to control the Indian spice trade, they both want to have this monopoly. ”

"Moreover, the Portuguese have always been unconvinced, believing that we have robbed them of their share of the Indian spice trade. Therefore, we are definitely not good at deteriorating relations with the Portuguese. Even if your sister and sister are both queens of Portugal, that won't change that. ”

"So, you don't have to think about your sister Maria's feelings, just think about how it can be good for Spain. As for the accusations of the Portuguese, when the time comes, you will use Marin as an excuse that you saved your life, saying that you cannot refuse. ”

After a pause, Ferdinand II said:

"In fact, I wish Marin's army had gone straight to the Portuguese through Spain. When the time comes, we will not only be able to annex Portugal, but also the other half of India's spice trade......"

"It's a pity that this so-called 'joint military exercise' is clearly a trick by Marin's cunning boy to scare Portugal. You know, the North Sea and Portugal are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the sea power of the North Sea Country is like Portugal, even if it annexes Portugal on land, it can't control it. In the end, isn't it cheap us? It's just that this is destined to be a show that threatens the other party, alas...... What a great opportunity......"

Margaret, the queen of Juan III, had a twinkle in her eyes and said:

"Or do we encourage Marin to really destroy Portugal?" She also hoped that her husband would annex Portugal. In this way, she would be able to become queen of the entire Iberian Peninsula.

Ferdinand II shook his head and said:

"Son, you're smarter than Juan, but you're still inexperienced. Marlin's cunning boy is much more cunning than you. I'm sure he's just bluffing this time, unless the Portuguese are really stupid enough to take the initiative to attack the North Sea Kingdom. Otherwise, this kid would not have sent troops to destroy Portugal. Because, the North Sea States did not want Spain to annex Portugal either......"

Queen Margaret thought for a moment before she said:

"You mean, the North Sea States are also afraid of the emergence of an Iberian Empire that dominates the seas?"

Ferdinand II approving:

"That's right, if Spain really annexes Portugal, then, on the seas, we will have no rivals and become the masters of the seas. And the North Sea State is precisely a country that operates the seas. Not to mention the development and utilization of the wild continent, the colonial management of Japan in the Far East, and the trade with the Ming Kingdom, he was reluctant to give up. ”

"But if we annex Portugal, the sea is our world, and if we want to cut off his Far Eastern trade routes, everything depends on our mood. You say that he would be happy to see such a maritime hegemon appear? ”

"So, this time it's just the North Sea Kingdom using us to scare Portugal?" Juan III said.

Ferdinand II nodded and said:

"That's right, that's it, Marin is using us. Therefore, he did not take advantage of it in vain and gave us benefits. Otherwise, I would agree to let him take advantage of us? ”

"In addition, Spain also needs the North Sea countries to attract Portugal's attention. Juan, you should know that Spain is currently fighting France for the Kingdom of Naples, and there is no time for anything else. I'm worried that Portugal will make a small move behind the scenes, so I'm very happy to have the North Sea and Portugal pit against each other. In this way, the Portuguese did not have the heart to calculate Spain. With Marin's little fox and the Portuguese up against them, the Portuguese should have a headache......" Ferdinand II laughed gloatingly.

After speaking, Ferdinand II waved his hand and said:

"Just do it, and afterwards you send someone to say to your sister Maria, that your life was saved by Marin, and that you can't refuse him. Also, that treatment saved your son back then. Alas, if only my grandson Marin could be as clever and cunning as Marin's boy......" With that, he ran into the bedroom to see his grandson......
