Chapter 326: The Imperial Family

At an extremely relaxed and exhausting moment in his life, Chen Jiujing did think about marrying Margo home, but in a blink of an eye, he let him snuff out the cigarette in his hand.

There are too many force majeures.

Who are the Valois family of France? Although the scheming queen mother looks like a famous saltless woman in Europe, her actions can be called "the mother of the world" in the chaotic France, which is far more important to the queen or queen mother than stunning appearance.

But the children of the Queen Mother are really more problematic than the other, although they all inherited the beauty from their father Henry II, their sons are all famous beautiful men in Europe, and their two daughters are also famous beauties, but what kind of characters are they?

The sister who married to Spain and the two older brothers who were the king of France before the third hum are not mentioned for the time being, leaving the brothers and sisters, lust is a common disease, and the elder brother Henry will carry out the idea of imprisoning his younger brothers and sisters to the end; The younger brother, the Duke of Anjou, and his sister, the Queen of Navarre, were ready to escape from prison, convinced that it would be the last.

The younger sister finds a lover, and the elder brother has to find a way to kill him; In the early years, when he chatted with Henry Navarre, he talked about thinking that he must have done a great sin, so that with Alençon, his younger brother, he would rather pass the throne to Henry Navarre than to Alençon in the future, and later heard that Navarre had no inheritance and was angry.

The response of the younger brothers and sisters is not weak, the former Duke of Alençon, now the Duke of Anjou, is ready to raise troops to kill his brother at every turn; My sister walked in a curve, always thinking about breaking his brother's big vase apart.

Bad genes are a later story, when Chen Jiujing's little idea of eventually becoming a family appeared in his mind, in a blink of an eye, he thought of his father, who was the governor of the Nanyang Military Mansion, in order to avoid being beaten to death by his father, he extinguished this idea the next moment.

Tiger poison doesn't eat children, the vital father Chen Xuan fell into such an infamy in anger, isn't he Chen Jiujing a big unfilial piety?

How can it be!

Margo was indeed angry by Chen Jiujing's words.

On the same day, he was so angry that he asked the servants to rent a house in the city and move in, and while he was angry, he asked the guards and maids to keep inquiring about the news of Chen Jiujing day and night.

She can say that she is disgusted and even self-deprecating that her noble background bores her, in fact, Marguerite has indeed expressed to Chen Jiujing more than once that if she has the opportunity, she hopes to stay away from Paris and France for the rest of her life, and find a place where no one lives.

It's like she can see her royal background as a burden, but that's actually just a word to make herself appear more noble, and others can't look down on her.

What's more, she thinks that Chen Jiujing doesn't know what to do, Margaret, who grew up in the court, knows how to take advantage of the situation since she was a child, Chen Jiujing does have a strong army, and the ten counts together are not as many as the standing troops he has mastered...... Where would any nobleman use all his income to feed thousands of warriors?

But for Europe, the illustrious origins of the distant Ming Empire were not much more influential in this land than the leaders of the mercenary groups in Switzerland and Germany.

In this direction, he hoped that Chen Jiujing would strengthen his influence in France through the coming war, so that it would be beneficial to both of them.

But Margot was not able to hold back for only three days—and in the early morning of the third day, the maid, who was supposed to go to the shore to buy oysters from the fishermen, stumbled back into the house, and described to the hostess in astonishment what she had seen.

Two huge warships she had never seen before sailed into the Bay of Biscay, their hulls painted in black, red, and white under the tall red sails, and countless thick guns sticking out of the three decks; The two flagships, each with three warships and eight armed merchant ships, a total of twenty-four ships docked in a row into the harbor of Bilbao, and even the Spanish ships stationed in the harbor sailed offshore to make way for them.

The servant did not know exactly how to describe the warriors who had stepped down from the ship to Margot, and the maid said: thousands of infantry came down from the ship with muskets and cannons, they were wearing armor that reflected the sunlight so that it was impossible to see their appearances, there were more cavalry besides the infantry, and the horses were brought out of the ships in all directions to the knights waiting on the shore, and before she left, the porters urgently recruited by the docks were still carrying boxes of goods to and from the pier.

One of the boxes had been broken open by a mistake in handling, revealing the silk and velvet inside, and the soldiers had simply stacked them on top of other boxes like ordinary linen.

Obviously, Chen Jiujing had more troops, which could not help but make Margaret think of a more far-reaching question - this is Spanish land, why did Philip II allow so many foreign troops to stay on his land?

With this question, Margaret got into the carriage to the barracks, but on the way she had already received tangible news: the fleet from the New World had transported 1,600 soldiers of the Ming Empire to Chen Jiujing, and it was only a short time to replenish supplies, and among them was a king who was proclaimed by the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

As if for the reason of welcoming the king, Margaret found that Chen Jiujing did not make it difficult for her to enter the barracks this time, and in the Chinese army camp that they had built like a wooden palace, Margaret met Chen Jiujing and the king from the Ming Empire as she wished, and was given a seat behind several generals.

But why did the king, with his red hair, white face, and coarse arms, look so European?

Moreover, in Margaret's understanding, Chen Jiujing and the generals of the Baishan Battalion around him have a great sense of dignity and inferiority, such as seats, sequences, language and posture, all have a set of rituals, and no one can surpass them.

So why did Chen Jiujing sit on it with the king in red silk at the banquet, and it seemed that Chen Jiujing was more noble than that king.

Chen Jiujing didn't expect Marguerite to come over at this time, but when he came, he had to be introduced, and he bowed slightly to introduce the two of them: "Great King, this is Margaret, the sister of Henry, King of France, and the queen of the Kingdom of Narva, is my friend, a very good friend." ”

"Margot, this is our King of Alan, he has lived in the New World for a few years, and is returning to his country, and I have leased the port from the Duke of Guise so that the king's fleet can be safely docked there, otherwise his army will not be safe for France."

"France, princess of House Valois?" Zhu Xiaoen's understanding of Europe is actually just that, most of his knowledge is stuck in Ireland and Britain, he smiled: "It seems that the young General Chen really doesn't know how to describe the relationship between you to me, but I already understand...... It is really a blessing for France to have a good friend like General Chen. ”

In Zhu Xiaoen's view, with Chen Jiujing, the country of France can be regarded as preserved.

But these words made the two young people feel fiercely embarrassed in their hearts...... Just two months ago, Margo was still moving Chen Jiujing to lead the army to Paris to beat his brother.

"You are really well-informed, my father is King Henry of France, my mother is Catherine of Medici, my three elder brothers are King François of France, King Charles and now King Henry, my sister is a former queen of Spain, my younger brother is the Duke of Anjou, and my husband is Henry of the Bourbon family."

The nobles began to praise each other as soon as they met, and Margo smiled flatteringly: "I think, looking at you, you are from a royal family from Europe, maybe we are relatives." ”

Not maybe, but the royal families of Europe must be relatives.

But he didn't expect Zhu Xiaoen to smile and shake his head, arched his hand to Chen Jiujing, and said: "Thanks to the blessing of General Chen's father-in-law, I was personally named the king of Ailan by the Son of Heaven, and I have no blood relationship with the royal families, even if I am the only one in my royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but according to the royal jade plate, I am a brother with Zhu Laiman, the king of Luzon, who also received the great favor of General Chen's father-in-law, Chen Shuai, and I am the nephew of today's son." ”
