Before Wang Yi came to this era, there were two Opium Wars, although only Britain declared war on the Qing Dynasty, and France later participated in the war, but in fact, there were many great powers that fell into the well at that time. It was at that time that Tsarist Russia used blackmail to occupy the Outer Northeast. For more than 20 years, they continued to occupy villages and towns in the vicinity of Macao, and at the same time imported a large amount of opium into the Qing Territory, nearly three of which were smuggled in.

For Portugal, Wang Yi did not make a big move, initially he had no strength and could not do anything. After 1880, the Northeast began to rise, but because Wang Yi was planning a colonial exchange with Portugal in Africa at that time, he always maintained a state of restraint and did not show excessive hostility towards Portugal. This was also a forced compromise, as Wang Yi had limited influence over the decision-making of the Qing court at that time, and it was impossible for him to give up his territory in Africa. Although Portugal only exchanged the position of the colony and changed the territory from the area around the Niger River on the west bank of Africa to the current east bank of Africa, this seemingly simple process saved nearly 50% of the cost of developing Africa in the northeast.

However, relations between the two sides began to deteriorate after that, mainly because Portugal encouraged the former Portuguese people who remained in the colonies of Northeast Africa to rebel against the rule of the Northeast here. The chaos was quickly quelled, but the relationship between the Northeast and Portugal also took a sharp turn for the worse, and now there is a Macau incident, and Wang has a cold light in his eyes.

Speaking of the Portuguese Empire, it is already yesterday's yellow flower, and it is no longer the domineering it was at the beginning. But then again, with a small country like Portugal, it can produce the rise of the city that changed the history of the world, and from this point of view, Wang Yi is also full of respect for the adventurous spirit of the Portuguese back then.

Portugal is located on the Iberian Peninsula and was invaded by the Romans BC as a province of the Roman Empire. In the 5th century, Germanic tribes invaded and were expelled by the Visigoths. In 711, the Muslim Moors of North Africa invaded and the Visigoths fell, leaving only Asturias in northern Portugal still in the hands of the Goths. Later, these Gothic nobles launched the Reconquista and fought with the Muslims for power. More than 400 years later, the Portuguese finally established the state, and the borders of Portugal in modern history were completed in 1270 by King Alfonso III.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Portuguese ushered in the glory of the empire. Some of the world's great geographical discoveries were made during this period, and the Portuguese established a large number of colonies in Asia, Africa and the United States, and far surpassed other European countries in terms of economy, politics and culture. The rise of Portugal spurred the rest of Europe to catch up, and by the end of the sixteenth century, Portugal's maritime supremacy was in decline.

The most unfortunate thing is that around 1580, the previous king Sebastian was indoctrinated in the idea of exterminating Muslims from a young age, and after a coup d'état in Morocco, he went on a personal expedition and never returned. And because the popular concept of knighthood at that time was that if your king died and you were still alive, you were shameful, so many people who returned from the expedition were reluctant to tell the truth that the king was dead. So there was a legend in Lisbon that the king would return on a foggy morning, which inexplicably became a ghost story.

Because Sebastian was not even married, so he had no heirs, so everyone elected Cardinal Enrique, who had been the overseer, to inherit the throne, but the problem was that the new king was already sixty-six years old, and he had followed the previous king for more than three years. Originally, he was a temporary top tank, and everyone wanted him to solve this problem during his tenure, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and the king, who was called "pure" or called the old virgin, did leave a suicide note, but did not designate an heir.

At that time, there were three big favorites to inherit the Portuguese throne, Catarina, the Duchess of Braganza, but unfortunately it was a woman. Antonio, abbot of the Monastery of Crato, this thing is not of good origin, illegitimate child. The remaining one is the current King Philip II of Spain, who is the most powerful, with the strongest navy at the time, the "Invincible Armada", and he is also the grandson of the former King Manuel Gen Hongmiaozheng.

The aristocracy favored the Spanish king, firstly because he was strong enough to be considered a solution to the growing domestic contradictions in Portugal. The second was that the spice trade, on which Portugal depended, was in trouble, at a time when Spain was constantly bringing back real money and silver from Central America.

Although the process of succession has experienced some minor twists and turns...... Well, it was the illegitimate abbot Antonio himself who ran back to Lisbon with his people to succeed him, while the five ruling ministers left by Enrique signed the throne to the king of Spain. The latter apparently disdained the former, especially when he had a large army in his hands, so the bastard was driven away, and the king of Spain became the king of Portugal. In general, this Philip II did a good job in domestic affairs, and even if there was such a thing as the defeat of the Armada by the British, there was not much turmoil in Portugal.

In this way, the name Portugal disappeared from history for sixty years, until the Spanish Empire's silver mines in the Americas dried up, the country's power flourished and declined, and the Portuguese aristocracy once again acted to overthrow Spanish rule. And this time the king's ...... Speaking of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Feng Shui takes turns, it is the first of the three previous heirs - the grandson of the Grand Duke of Bragança, a figure similar to Li Yuanhong in the Wuchang Uprising, his name is Joao, the current Duke of Bragança, who was inexplicably arched into a king by a group of Portuguese rebels.

Since then, the history of Portugal has been a history of decline, the colony was attacked by the Dutch and the British, the people lived in poverty, began to migrate to the colony of Brazil in large numbers, and the population of the country fell sharply. And the most unfortunate is the capital Lisbon. In 1755, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck, followed by a tsunami and then a fire that flattened Lisbon. Fifty years later, Napoleon conquered the area, which can be described as a series of natural and man-made disasters, probably for the evil deeds of the colony.

But the biggest blow to Portugal happened more than a decade later!

Previously, because of Napoleon's invasion, the whole of Lisbon, including the king and the nobility, all became immigrants, and at that time it was a bit far-fetched to say that Portugal was a European country, because the capital was moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Portuguese aristocracy, who were already happy, had a happy life, but in 1820 the Liberal Revolution took place in the country, and the first requirement of the new government was to allow King João VI and the nobles to return home.
