This is the era of queens, England has queens, Spain has queens, although the Qing Dynasty is not a queen, but it is no different from a queen. In this era, women have their own glory.

In 1516, Queen Juanna of Castile and Charles I (Spanish name: Carlos), the son of Philip I, succeeded to the throne of Castile, León, Aragon, Wagner and other countries as the grandson of the Trastamara family. By the 16th century, Spain had grown in power and become a sea power, and then began to decline.

In 1837, Isabel II formally united the country into a single country after the act of the constitutional monarchy of Guò, deciding to name her country after the Spanish word, Phoenician for "hare", thus ending the confederation model that had lasted for more than 300 years.

Isabel II's background doomed her to not be an ordinary woman.

Isabella II's succession to the throne was possible thanks to her father, Ferdinand VII, who managed to persuade the Spanish Congress to repeal the Salic succession law. However, his uncle, Prince Don Carlos, the younger brother of Ferdinand VII, immediately launched a rebellion, because according to Salic succession law, only men could inherit the Spanish throne, and Isabel II was only a single digit age at this time, so the First Carlos War broke out.

Carlos' supporters later became the so-called Carlos, including the old aristocracy and Catholic conservative forces, such as the Jesuits. And Isabel II's supporters included liberals in the army and in Congress; These people hoped to profit from the confiscation of the property of the Jesuits and the Religious Order, and to pass Guò in Spain with a constitution that limited the power of the king. The Spanish bourgeoisie also supported the queen with a desire to weaken the power of the feudal aristocracy.

Of course, the young Isabel II relied on the support of her mother, the Bourbon regent Maria Christina, and because of this woman's status, Isabel II was supported by Portugal, England and France.

The First Carlos War lasted for seven years, during which Don Carlos attacked Madrid, the capital of Spain, in 1837. It was only in 1839 that the main force of the Carlos faction was crushed, and the prince was forced to flee to France. In July 1840, the Carlos factions fighting in Spain were completely eliminated, and Isabella II's throne was secured.

However, Isabel II's life was not smooth for her, especially for women, whose marriage could only be described as tragic. His husband was his cousin Francisco de Assisi de Bourbon, and it was a political marriage. On the day of the Queen's wedding at the age of sixteen, she suddenly discovered that her husband had much more lace on his body than on herself, and to put it more bluntly, ...... Wang Fu is actually a sissy, and it is rumored that he is gay.

So the married life of the two can be imagined, and it didn't take long for the two to start separating, and a year later both parties gave each other the greatest freedom. In fact, there have been rumours that all of the Queen's children were not born to Prince Francisco, who was a well-known homosexual. For example, many believe that the only surviving boy of Isabella II, the father of Alfonso XII, who eventually ascended to the Spanish throne, was one of the queen's mistresses, the commander of the Guard, Enrique Puigo-Morto.

Queen Isabel II, who grew up in the turbulent Spanish political situation, is naturally not an ordinary woman, but she is definitely not wise, and perhaps it is more appropriate to describe her moodiness.

Wang Yi actually didn't know much about European history, especially Spanish history, even if she was the queen of a country, Isabel II was just like that in the eyes of the king. However, because he had heard this lace news about Queen Isabel II, he knew that the queen's existence was only a little impression.

However, he was still mistaken about one thing, that is, the current ruler of Spain is not Queen Isabel II, who was forced to abdicate due to a coup d'état in 1870 and now lives in Paris, France. Just last year, her son, King Alfonso XII of Spain, died, and her grandson, Alfonso XIII, is currently on the throne, but it is Maria Cristina who is now in charge of Spain. However, this Maria was not the mother of Queen Isabel II, but the mother of Alfonso XII's second wife and Alfonso XIII.

Speaking of which, the current political situation in Spain is somewhat similar to that of the Qing Dynasty today, the queen is in charge, and the emperor is still a child. As for Guangxu or Alfonso XIII, who was luckier? It's really hard to say about this, Guangxu is ambitious and talented, living in the shadow of Cixi, aggrieved all his life, and finally died a day earlier than the much older Cixi. Alfonso XIII was better in this regard. Of course, a mother and a stepmother are not fair in comparison. However, if this is to say that Alfonso XIII was happier, it is not necessarily true.

When Alfonso XIII was nineteen years old, he visited England and met Victoria Eugenia, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, the "grandmother of Europe". Fearing that Eugenia might be the causative agent of hemophilia, a family disease of the British royal family, their marriage was strongly opposed in Spain, but in the end, Alfonso XIII finally convinced his mother, the Queen Mother, Cristina.

The wedding took place on May 31, 1906, and as the procession reached the narrow Avenue Mayor, a bouquet of flowers with a bomb hidden in the flower fell from a building and exploded in front of the royal carriage of the bride and groom. In total, 22 people were killed and more than 70 wounded, but the king and queen were lucky enough to escape from the pile of flesh. The assassin was named Moral, and he was an extreme anarchist. This is a famous assassination in European history. Legend has it that the assassination was made possible by the fact that the young queen Victoria Eugenia did not heed the godmother's warning and brought an unlucky pearl necklace. This is just the beginning of the doom of a lifetime for the couple, who are about to face the most turbulent years in Spain. In fact, Alfonso XIII did lose his country in the end, and finally died in exile.

Guangxu died before leaving the school, and Alfonso XIII was powerless and difficult to return to the sky.

Wang Yi, who was on the warship, was thinking wildly, but the situation in front of him became more and more tense.

The sound of the siren at the Da Nang military port stimulated everyone's nerves, and the commander-in-chief of the Da Nang base, Chen Changqi, also frowned when he heard the siren, and the adjutant with a pair of thick eyes ran in at this time and said: "Commander-in-chief, when my third squadron entered the port, it was obstructed by the Spanish fleet, and the two sides are currently facing each other, and ......" Because of excitement, the adjutant's glasses fell off.

"And what?" Chen Changqi's fingers unconsciously flicked the tabletop, his face sinking like water.

"And Wang Yi, the captain of the insurance team, is on the boat!" The lieutenant finally put his glasses back on and finished speaking.

Chen Changqi was so angry that he slapped the table and pointed at his adjutant, originally wanting to scold, but when he thought about it, it was not the time to pursue this matter at all.

"I'll withdraw you sooner or later! …… Forget it, how many forces are there in the military port now? ”

The adjutant shrank in fright, but he also knew that it was a critical juncture, so he didn't think about his sad end, and said: "According to the information we have obtained, this Spanish fleet has two warships, namely the Caria and the Wendini (compilation, I really can't find the relevant information of the Spanish Navy at that time), both of which are central gunboats, with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons. ”

"Central gunboat? How can such a ship still drive us? Chen Changqi is an expert in this area and knows that the central gunboat is not suitable for ocean voyages.

"It is said that I was going to go to the Americas, but the rise of our Northeast Autonomous Region in recent years has put a lot of pressure on the Spaniards, so they were sent to our side. Of course, the process of coming is more complicated. ”

Spain has not had a good time recently, and Wang Yi is not very clear, but there is now a special diplomatic academy in the northeast, which focuses on the development trend of various powers. And the adjutant in front of him, called Hao Yun, don't look at the appearance of a person who is not good-looking, but professionally he is definitely an expert, and he was born in the Foreign Affairs Academy that Zhao Liewen is in charge of.

"Spain has now lost almost all of Latin America, including Mexico, but they still have large and small overseas territories in the world, such as the Philippines, Cuba and so on. Therefore, the Spanish navy and merchant fleet still maintain a considerable size, and it is also one of the few naval powers that can fight in the oceans, which is stronger than us in this regard. ”

In 1868, the Spanish Navy mutinied in the port of Cádiz and overthrew Queen Isabel II (officially abdicated in Paris in 1870), but the Spanish Navy still retained considerable strength after civil strife, and in the seventies, their frigate Whirlwind intercepted the American battleship Virginius, because it was believed that this battleship was used to assist the Cubans in the guerrilla war to overthrow Spanish rule, so the Spaniards were not polite. Shot many of the British and American crew members of the battleship Virginius. At this time, the United States was powerless to deal with Spain, but the fuse of the Spanish-American War was also planted at that time.

Chen Changqi waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Don't tell me that these are useless, how much power can we use right now?" ”

"Because of the possible rebellion of the Dragon King Sect in the south, the fleet has gone south to Nha Trang, Saigon and Kampong Son, and now there are only two Thorn-class frigates in the military port, the same as the warships of our detachment. The same is true for the Air Force, where only one Pit Viper is currently at the airbase. ”

"No matter, let the shore defense troops be in place, the fleet in the harbor will be dispatched, and the pit vipers will immediately rise into the air and rush to the confrontation area. Be sure to keep the captain safe! ”
