Chapter 206 The Glory of Spain

This is a queen in the era. There was a queen in the UK and a queen in Spain. Although the Qing Dynasty was not a queen, it was no different from a queen. In this era, women had their own glory.

In 1516, Queen Juana of Castilla and Charles I (Spanish name: Carlos), the son of Queen Juana of the King Philip I, inherited the throne of Castilla, Leon, Aragon, Wagner and other countries as the grandson of the Trastamara family. He established the earliest country in Europe to unify the central royal power of the Communist Confederacy. By the 16th century, Spain gradually became stronger and became a powerful maritime power, and then began to decline. [..com]

In 1837, after passing the Constitutional Monarchy Act, Isabel II formally merged it into a country and decided to name his own country with the word Spanish, Phoenician, meaning "hare". Since then, the state has ended the communist confederacy model that has lasted for more than 300 years.

Isabel II's origin was destined to be an ordinary woman.

Isabella II was able to inherit the throne because his father Ferdinand VII managed to convince the Spanish parliament to abolish the Salik inheritance law. However, his uncle, Prince Don Carlos, the younger brother of Ferdinand VII, immediately launched a rebellion because, in accordance with the Salik inheritance law, only men could inherit the Spanish throne. Moreover, Isabel II was only in single digits at this time, so the first Carlos War broke out.

Carlos' supporters later became so-called Carlos factions, including the old nobles and Catholic defenders, such as the Jesuits. Isabel II's supporters included liberals in the army and Congress; these people wanted to profit from the confiscation of the property of the Jesuits and the Knights' Orders and adopted a constitution in Spain that restricted the king's power. The Spanish bourgeoisie also supported the queen with the desire to weaken the feudal aristocrats.

Of course, Isabel II, who was still young at this time, actually relied on his mother - the support of Mary Christina, the Regent of the Bourbon Dynasty. Because of this woman's identity, Isabel II was supported by Portugal, Britain and France.

The entire First Carlos War lasted for seven years, during which Don Carlos attacked Madrid, the Spanish capital in 1837. The main force of the Carlos faction was shattered in 1839, and the prince was forced to flee to France. In July 1840, all the Carlos factions fighting in Spain were eliminated, and the throne of Isabella II was finally stabilized.

However, Isabel II's life was not smooth, especially for women, her marriage can only be described as tragedy. His husband was his cousin Francisco de Assisi de Bourbon, which was a political marriage. On the day the queen got married at the age of sixteen, she suddenly realized that there were much more lace on her husband than her. To put it bluntly, the husband of the king is actually sissy, and the rumors are even more homosexual.

So the marriage life of the two can be imagined. Not long after, the two began to separate. A year later, both parties gave each other the greatest freedom. In fact, there have been rumors that all the Queen's children were not born by Prince Francisco, because the Prince was a famous homosexual. For example, many people believe that the only surviving boy of Isabella II, the father of Alfonso XII, who eventually ascended the Spanish throne, was the Queen's lover, Enrique Puigo-Morto, the commander of the Guards.

Queen Isabel II, who grew up in the turbulent Spanish political situation, naturally would not be an ordinary woman, but she is definitely not wise, and it may be more appropriate to describe it as moody.

Wang Yi actually had no idea about European history, especially Spanish history. Even if he was the queen of a country, Isabel II was just that in the eyes of the king. However, because he had heard this gossip about Queen Isabel II, he knew that the existence of this queen was just a little impression.

However, he still made one mistake, that is, the current ruler of Spain is not the Queen Isabel II. She was forced to abdicate because of a coup as early as 1870 and now lives in Paris, France. Just last year, her son, King Alfonso XIII of Spain, died, and her grandson Alfonso XIII currently inherited the throne, but now it is Maria Christina who really controls the power of Spain. However, this Maria is not the mother of Queen Isabel II, but the second wife of Alfonso XIII, the mother of Alfonso XIII.

Speaking of which, the political situation in Spain is somewhat similar to that of the Qing Dynasty today. The empress is in power, and the emperor is still a little brat. As for who is more lucky in Guangxu or Alfonso Thirteenth generation? It is hard to say that Guangxu was a very ambitious and talented person. He lived under the shadow of Cixi and was depressed all his life. In the end, he died one day earlier than Cixi, who was much older. Alfonso Thirteenth generation was better in this regard. Of course, it is not fair to compare with a mother and a stepmother. But it is not entirely true that it is considered that Alfonso Thirteenth generation is happier.

When Alfonso XIII was nineteen, she visited Britain and met Victoria Ohengniya, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, the "European grandmother" Queen Victoria. Two young men fell in love at first sight and decided to live for life. Because they were afraid that Elfonso XIII might have the causative factors of hemophilia, the engagement was strongly opposed in Spain, but in the end, Alfonso XIII finally convinced his mother, Queen Mother Christina.

The wedding was held on May 31, 1906. When the wedding procession reached the narrow Mayor Street, a bouquet of flowers fell from a building. A bomb was hidden in the flowers and exploded in front of the groom and the bride's royal carriage. For a moment, smoke and dust rose and blood flew everywhere. The tragedy caused a total of 22 deaths and more than 70 injuries, but the king and queen were lucky enough to escape from the pile of flesh and blood. The assassin was named Moral, and he was extremely unruly.

The palaceist. This is a famous assassination in European history. It is said that the assassination was caused by the young queen Victoria Ouhengia who did not listen to the warning of her godmother and brought a string of unlucky pearl necklaces. This was just the beginning of the life of the new couple. What they were about to face was the most turbulent years in Spain. In fact, Alfonso XIII did lose his country in the end and died in exile.

Guangxu died before he succeeded in his army, and Alfonso had no power in his thirteenth life.

Wang Yi was thinking about it all, but the situation in front of him became more and more tense.

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

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

"And the insurance team captain Wang Yi is on the boat!" The adjutant finally put on his glasses again and finished speaking.

Chen Changqi was so angry that he slapped the table and pointed at his adjutant. He wanted to curse, but when he thought that at this critical moment, it was not the time to pursue the matter.

"I will withdraw you sooner or later!... Forget it, how much power is there in the military port now?"

The adjutant shrank his neck in fear, but knew that it was a critical moment, so he did not think about his tragic end and said, "According to the information we have obtained, this Spanish fleet has two warships, namely Caglia and Wentini (edited, I can't find relevant information about the Spanish Navy at that time). They are all central artillery ships with tonnage of more than 5,000 tons."

"Central Cannon Ship? How can such a ship still drive us here?" Chen Changqi is an expert in this field and knows that the Central Cannon Ship is not suitable for ocean-going navigation.

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

Spain has not had a good life recently, and Wang Yi is not very clear. However, there is a special diplomatic college in the Northeast, which focuses on the development trend of the great powers. The adjutant in front of him is Hao Yun. Although he is not good at looking at his appearance, he is definitely an expert in his major and is from the diplomatic college in charge of Zhao Liewen.

"Spain has now lost almost the entire Latin America, including Mexico, but they still have large and small overseas territories in the world, such as the Philippines, Cuba, etc. Therefore, the Spanish navy and merchant fleet still maintain a considerable scale, and are also one of the few naval powers that can start wars in various oceans. This is better than us."

In 1868, the Spanish Navy mutiny in the port of Gades, overthrowing the rule of Queen Isabel II (the 1870 officially announced its abdication in Paris), but the Spanish Navy, which experienced civil unrest, still retained considerable strength. In the 1970s, their cyclone frigate intercepted the American vi

The warship ginius was believed to be used to assist the Cubans in overthrowing the Spanish rule of guerrilla war, so the Spaniards were not polite and shot many vis

The British and American crew members of the warship ginius. At this time, the United States was unable to deal with Spain, but the fuse of the Spanish-American War was also buried at that time.

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

"Because the rebellion of the Dragon King Sect may occur in the south, the fleet has gone south to Nha Trang, Saigon and Kampson. Now there are only two famous Sage-class frigates in the military port, the same as the warships of our squadron. The air force is the same. Currently, there is only one viper at the air base."

"No matter what, let the shore defense forces take their place, the fleet in the port will be dispatched, and the viper will immediately take off to the confrontation waters. We must ensure the safety of the captain!"
