Chapter 1009 The Royal Family
At a very relaxed and exhausted moment in his life, Chen Jiujing really wanted to marry Margot home, but he snuffed it out with the cigarette in his hand in a blink of an eye.

There are too many force majeure.

Who are the Valois family of the French royal family?Although the scheming queen dowager looks like a famous salt-free girl in Europe, her behavior can be called a "mother's world" in chaotic France. For a queen or queen dowager, this is far more important than a stunning appearance important.

But the Queen Mother's children are really more problematic than the other. Although they all inherited the beauty from their father Henry II, the sons are all famous handsome men in Europe, and the two daughters are also well-known beauties, but they are all What character?

The elder sister married to Spain and the two older brothers who were kings of France in front of the third child, leaving aside the remaining three brothers and sisters. Lust is a common problem. The elder brother Henry will carry out the idea of ​​​​imprisoning his younger siblings to the end; his younger brother, the Duke of Anjou, and his younger sister Navarre The queen is always ready to escape and firmly believes that this is the last escape.

When the younger sister finds a lover, the elder brother will try to get rid of him; hum, the third brother's attitude towards the younger brother is also unique. In the early years when he was chatting with Navarra Henry, he talked about thinking that he must have committed a great crime, so that Ah Lancon, the younger brother, would rather pass the throne to Henry of Navarre than to Alençon in the future. Later, he was angry when he heard that Navarre had no right of succession.

The response from the younger siblings was not weak either. The former Duke of Alençon and the current Duke of Anjou would raise troops against his brother at every turn; the younger sister walked in a curve, always thinking about breaking his big vase to pieces.

Bad genes are something to be said later, when Chen Jiujing's little idea of ​​getting married finally appeared in his mind, he immediately thought of his father who was the left governor of the Nanyang Army Mansion. In order to avoid being beaten to death by his father, the next moment he Killed that thought.

The tiger's poison does not eat its children, and the deadly father Chen Lin was so infamous in a fit of anger, isn't he Chen Jiujing a great disobedience?

How could it be so!

Ma Ge was indeed annoyed by Chen Jiujing's words.

On the same day, he was so angry that he asked his servant to rent a house in the city and move in. While he was angry, he asked the guards and maids to inquire about Chen Jiujing's news day and night.

She can be self-deprecating and even self-deprecating and say that her noble background bores her. In fact, Margaret has 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 someone who is not alone. place to live.

It's like she can see her royal family background as a burden, but it's just a way 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 is good and what is bad. Margaret, who grew up in the court, knew how to take advantage of the situation since she was a child. Chen Jiujing does have a strong army. The ten earls combined don't have as many standing troops as he has alone... Where is it? Will nobles use all their income to support thousands of warriors?
But for Europe, the illustrious background of the Ming Empire was not much more influential in this land than the leaders of the mercenary regiments in Switzerland and Germany.

Considering this direction, he hopes that Chen Jiujing can strengthen his influence in France through the upcoming war, which will benefit both of them.

But Margo couldn't hold back after only three days—on the third morning, the maid who was supposed to go to the coast to buy oysters from the fishermen stumbled back into the house, and described everything she saw to the hostess in surprise. .

Two huge warships that she had never seen before sailed into the Bay of Biscay. The hulls under the tall red sails were painted in three colors of black, red and white, and countless thick cannons protruded from the three decks; With three warships and eight armed merchant ships, a total of 24 ships docked in the harbor of Bilbao in a row, and even the Spanish ships parked in the port sailed to the sea to make room for them.

The servant didn't know how to describe the warriors coming down from the ship to Margo. The maid said: "Thousands of infantry came down from the ship with muskets and cannons, and they wore armor that reflected the sun so that no one could see them clearly." In addition to the infantry, there were more cavalry, and the horses were pulled out from the ships in all directions to the knights waiting on the coast. Before she left, the porters urgently recruited by the dock were still carrying boxes of goods to and from the trestle.

One box fell open due to mishandling, revealing the satin and velvet inside, and was simply stacked on top of other boxes by the soldiers like a piece of ordinary linen.

Obviously, Chen Jiujing had more troops, which made Margaret think of a more far-reaching question-this is Spanish land, why did Philip II allow so many troops from other countries to stay on his land?

With this question in mind, Margaret boarded the carriage to the barracks, but on the way she had already received real news: the fleet from the New World transported [-] soldiers of the Ming Empire to Chen Jiujing, and it was only a short stop here Supplementary supplies, and among them is a king who was proclaimed by the emperor of the Ming Empire.

As if to welcome the king, Margaret found that Chen Jiujing did not make things difficult for her to enter the barracks this time. In the Chinese army camp they built like a wooden palace, Margaret got her wish. Chen Jiujing and the king from the Ming Empire got a seat behind several generals.

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

Moreover, in Margaret's understanding, Chen Jiujing and the generals of the Baishan Camp around him are very conscious of dignity, such as seating, sequence, language and posture, all have a set of rituals that no one can surpass.

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

Chen Jiujing did not expect that Margaret would come here at this time, but he must introduce him when he came, Wei Wei bowed behind him and introduced to the two: "My lord, this is the younger sister of King Henry of France, from the Kingdom of Narva. Queen Margaret is my friend, a very good friend."

"Margot, this is our King Alan. He has lived in the New World for several years and is going back to his country. I leased the port from the Duke of Guise to ensure that the king's fleet can dock there safely, otherwise His army is less safe for France."

"France, the princess of the Valois family?" Zhu Xiaoen's understanding of Europe is actually only this little, most of his knowledge stays in Ireland and Britain, he said with a smile: "It seems that the young General Chen really doesn't know How to describe the relationship between you to me, but I have already understood... France is really lucky to have such a good friend as General Chen."

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

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

"You are so well-informed. My father is Valois Henry, King of France, and my mother is Catherine of the Medici. My three older brothers are King François of France, King Charles, and the current King Henry. My sister is The former queen of Spain, her younger brother is the Duke of Anjou, and her husband is Henry of the Bourbon family."

When the nobles met, they began to flatter each other. Margot smiled and said flatteringly, "I think you are from a European royal family, maybe we are relatives."

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

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaoen shook his head with a smile, cupped his hands to Chen Jiujing, and said: "Thanks to the blessing of General Chen's adoptive father, I was proclaimed King Ailan by the Son of Heaven, and I have no blood relationship with the royal families of other countries. It is also a single branch, but it is counted according to the royal jade plate, and I am brothers with Zhu Laiman, the king of Luzon who also received the great favor of General Chen's foster father Chen Shuai, and he is the nephew of the current emperor."
