The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

But Philip II, after annexing the Kingdom of Ying, basically unified Europe's maritime hegemony, and no one can check and balance his decision anymore.

He decided to send a fleet to block the Maritime Silk Road transactions between Europeans and Daming, which dealt a big blow to Ming's foreign trade.

Elizabeth also sighed and said, "I've also heard that Philip II hates you and me to the core. This time, he will not hesitate to lose a thousand dollars to break with Daming. I'm afraid that he will send an envoy to openly ask the Emperor of Ming for money." I, then...｀"·"

Having said that, Elizabeth's expression was sad.

She is now the king of subjugation, and Philip II is the overlord of the sea, whose strength is comparable to that of the overlord Ming on land.

If Philip II blatantly sent someone to ask for her, it is estimated that Jiajing would not hesitate to ask Yan Song to hand over Elizabeth because of Jiajing's timid nature.

Elizabeth thought about it herself. If she sat in Jiajing's position, she would also hand over the useless king of subjugation, in exchange for some benefits at most.

Yan Song saw the frightened Elizabeth, smiled, pinched the queen's delicate dimple and said, "Don't worry. Daming has me, and I will never hand you over."

Tears welled up in Elizabeth's eyes, and she really wanted to throw herself into Yan Song's arms, but bit her lower lip stubbornly and held back.

I don't want to be a bird under the protection of men, I am the queen of the kingdom of Ying, I want to be an eagle!

but····

It's nice to have a man who loves and protects me.

But in fact, Murphy's Law tells us that what we are afraid of will come.

At this time, Madrid is covered in silver.

Christmas is coming soon, and there is a joyful atmosphere everywhere.

At the Royal Palace in Madrid, Philip II looked dark.

A few months ago, at Westminster Abbey in the UK, a coronation ceremony was held (pretentious) but was mercilessly ridiculed and slapped in the face by the fathers and fellow villagers of the country of Ying. Elizabeth and Yan Song co-delivered the "Human Head Gift Package" courier, made her face disheartened, and came back in a daze.

But Philip II was not satisfied.

He will be the emperor of the world!

How can you easily bow your head and admit cowardice?

Don't bow your head, the crown will fall!

In front of him was one of his most trusted courtiers.

Francis Deco.

This is the executioner he sent to suppress the revolution in the Netherlands. The Governor Francis sent 8 old and weak women and children to the gallows in the Netherlands, killing the country to death, and firmly controlled the country for Philip II. The Low Countries, known as "Francis the Executioner".

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Francis was tall and murderous.

"Very good." Philip II said indifferently: "I think you also know that Elizabeth, the emperor's old enemy, fled to Daming, and got the protection of Yan Song, the first assistant of Ming Dynasty. Yan Song also killed the German who I sent to beg for Elizabeth. Lake!"

".々Is there such a thing?" Francis said fiercely in his eyes: "Maybe only the Armada and the Spanish Conquistadors can let those weak and backward Ming monkeys know who this world belongs to?"

"No!" Philip II waved his hand, with a cunning look in his eyes: "I sent a lot of traitors, disguised as missionaries and businessmen, to Daming. The news they gave me was that Yan Song didn't report to Daming at all. Emperor Jiajing, about Elizabeth's escape!"

Francis' eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

Philip II sneered and said: "I doubt very much that Emperor Jiajing will start a full-scale war with our Spanish Empire for a mere subjugated woman. The emperor has ordered a trade blockade and embargo against Ming! Ming's trade will be greatly affected. Yan Song can't hide it. In addition, I need (Li Wang Zhao) to send you to Daming, as the envoy of the Spanish Empire, to publicly ask Jiajing for Elizabeth. The emperor heard that although Yan Song is the chief assistant, but in the empire He has many political enemies, including the only prince. Once Yan Song can be overthrown and Elizabeth captured, I don't mind if you use any means to coerce and lure."

"You tell Jiajing that if you don't hand over Elizabeth, you will go to war with my Spanish Empire all over the world! We will ruthlessly massacre and plunder Daming's merchant fleet, and bankrupt Daming!"

"Yes!" Francis licked his lips greedily like a bloodthirsty wolf, and turned to leave.

After a month of sailing day and night, Francis' fleet has arrived in the Indian Ocean, with Malacca in front of it, and is about to enter the South China Sea of ​​Ming Dynasty.

The crisis is slowly hitting Yan Song and Elizabeth.

Chapter 1523 Hai Rui committed suicide and scolded Jiajing! 【9】

In the past month, Yan Song has been busy.

There are too many state affairs that need him to deal with.

Jiajing approved the construction of a palace on Mount Tai, which is the top priority at the moment. Ouyang Bijin has already set off with a team from the Ministry of Industry for a month and started construction.

Unexpectedly, the prince also invited the emperor, because the Taishan Conferring Ceremony is a big matter, so Feng Bao, the Duke of Xichang, was invited to supervise the construction, and Jiajing agreed without thinking about it.

The construction of the palace, the construction of roads, and the altar for the ceremony of enshrining the Zen is a huge amount of work. Yan Song and the cabinet elders have been working overtime, and finally raised millions of taels of silver to allow the project to start smoothly.

And Yan Song's affairs in China are also very busy.

Yan Song sent the Daming Imperial Academy of Sciences in Hangzhou to form a team of experts to conduct detailed research on the construction of a new city in Shanghai and the preparations for the opening of Fu.

This team is composed of geologist Xu Xiake, economist, mathematician Descartes, Cheng Dawei, and experienced former Guizhou chief envoy Hai Rui.

This unlucky guy, Hai Rui, has been working in Guizhou for 20 months, eating loess and turning his back to the sky. He finally succeeded in reclaiming wasteland and stabilizing the mess after the rebellion in Guizhou. When he was young, he received the emperor's order, and he was urgently mobilized to serve as the chief political envoy of Zhejiang. 650

Ordinarily, being transferred from the governor of Guizhou to the governor of Zhejiang, although it was a transfer at the same level, it was also a transfer from hell to heaven, but Hai Rui was not satisfied with Yan Song.

Especially when I heard that Yan Song actually agreed with Jiajing Taishan to enshrine Zen, "Pao Zhanzi" and Ming Dynasty official Hai Rui became popular!

Fire up!

It is said that after hearing the news, he locked himself in a small dark room for three days and three nights, concocted a memorial and a letter, and then sent the memorial to the emperor and Yan Song, and then asked someone to buy a coffin, Just put it in the living room.

In the entire history of Ming Dynasty, the most jaw-dropping scene happened!
