Baguio Palace is actually a castle, a city within the city of Baguio City.
The exterior wall is entirely white and has several semicircular domes. It is said that it was designed to imitate the Persian royal palace.
The guards and servants who live in Baguio Palace for a long time are responsible for guarding and cleaning the palace. They are all strictly selected Han citizens. This building has been completed for two years. Every summer, Wang Ce comes here to spend one month in Yanzhou (Manila).
The place is too hot.
After all, it was built by his own son. Song Ling'er was satisfied with it when looking at it horizontally and vertically. She even wanted to live in Baguio Palace for the rest of her life.
Huang E was particularly envious and wished his son could also build a palace.
Unfortunately, Huang E's eldest son became a prince-in-law, and he only knew how to spread dog food and study physics all day long. The second son was a talented man who only knew how to recite poems and write lyrics. Fortunately, he won the lottery during the lottery and obediently accompanied his father to Tianzhu.
"It's so beautiful here." Anna was wandering in the garden.
Kong Fu sighed: "Yes, it reminds me of the palace in my hometown."
Kongfu used to be a princess of the Ananda Kingdom. Although the Ananda Kingdom is the only remaining Hindu country in India, its architecture is seriously influenced by Green Christianity, and even the palace has an Arabic style.
As soon as Kong Fu saw Baguio Palace, he recalled the place where he lived when he was a child.
Anna didn't have so many ideas. She grew up in Yinzhou. Her father was an adventurer and her mother was just a native. Even if she became a plantation owner, she could only live in a very simple house and eat the simplest and most primitive food.
Being given to Wang Yuan as his concubine, Anna was very happy because the house was so big and she ate so richly every day.
"Afu, Anna, come over and play mahjong!" Qiyun shouted over there.
Although there are different opinions on the origin of Mahjong, it can be roughly determined that it took shape in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Wang Yuan saw that his concubines were bored, so he had a pair of mahjong tiles made and personally taught them how to play mahjong for fun. Gradually, the news spread to the ladies in the capital, and then to the people, especially the crew members on ocean voyages.
Like it very much.
Four foreign concubines were sitting at a table.
Xiangxiang and Qiyun are both in their thirties. The former has an obvious Central Asian appearance, and the latter has some Persian ancestry. Kongfu is a high-caste Indian woman with fair skin and beautiful appearance; Anna is a Latina mixed-race beauty with a slightly darker complexion.
Black, wild and charming.
Four girls sit together and play mahjong, which is like a world war.
They originally had dissatisfaction with each other, but as time went by, there was nothing to argue about.
Xiangxiang's eldest son, Wang Ji, had a brain attack and traveled all over the world. The remaining children were all under ten years old. Qiyun gave birth to all daughters, and there was no chance of inheriting the family business. She only hoped to find a good family.
The children born to Confucius and Anna are now under ten years old, and it is not their turn to inherit.
Only Xia Chan was very upset and scolded her son Wang Qi, blaming him for not choosing to stay in the Ming Dynasty and should take the initiative to go to Tianzhu to become the heir apparent.
Wang Qi let his mother scold him, and his left ear went in and his right ear came out. This boy had a good chance of passing the Jinshi examination. With the connections left by his father, he could definitely be selected as a Shujishi. As long as he didn't make political mistakes, he could do well no matter how bad he was.
Go to the right servant.
Being a minister in the Ming Dynasty is not a hundred times better than being the prince in Tianzhu?
Xia Chan could only place her hope in trumpet. Her second son was eleven years old this year. Even on the way south, she forced her son to study, trying to cultivate him into a versatile person in both civil and military affairs.
Wang Zheng, who won the lottery, only likes to recite poems and compose poems. What if he gives up his position as the heir apparent one day?
At that time, Xia Chan's second son will be qualified. From now on, his son will be the king of Tianzhu, and Xia Chan will be the queen mother of Tianzhu. When she thinks of this, Xia Chan is so excited that she can't sleep.
"Mom, I... I want to go play with my brothers," Wang Hao said weakly, "I heard that the city of Baguio is very fun, and the scenery outside the city is also very beautiful."
Xia Chan pounded the table and said, "Don't go, just study hard for me. If you are young and don't work hard, you will be miserable. The most important thing for you now is to grow up!"
Wang Hao curled his lips and cursed in his heart, but he could only lower his head and read.
As for Song Ling'er and Huang E, they took the children out of the city. There were dozens of war horses garrisoned in the city, and they borrowed them for fun. Song Ling'er even brought bows, arrows and fire guns and personally taught the children to hunt in the wild.
Wang Hao also wanted to go, but felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his head.
…
After staying in Baguio City for a few days, Wang Ce and Wang Ji finally arrived.
Wang Ce stayed in Yanzhou City with his wife Luo Shi, three sons and one daughter, and two concubines.
Wang Ji also brought two women with him, one was the Danish princess Margaret, and the other was the daughter of the pirate leader. This guy drove a broken ship and dared to go to Australia where there were swarms of pirates, even though he gave his father's name.
, the pirates did not make things difficult for him anymore, but he was forcibly recruited as his son-in-law by the largest pirate leader.
It was obvious what the plan was. After marrying Wang Yuan, the Ming navy had a life-saving talisman when it wiped out pirates.
The family reunion and reminiscing about old times was certainly lively, but there were also some embarrassing incidents.
Catherine was Wang Ji's first love, so it was natural to feel sad to see her again. When Wang Ji saw Catherine's son, he was completely stunned. Why did he look so similar to me when I was a child?
"Is this the Danish princess?" Prince Henry asked.
Margaret held up the hem of her skirt to greet her: "Nice to meet you, Your Highness."
Henry and Mary looked at each other and said, "I think we can have a chat."
Prince Henry of France, Princess Mary of England, Princess Margaret of Denmark, and the great navigator Mr. Wang Ji came to a secret room in the Baguio Palace.
Prince Henry got straight to the point: "Does the princess want to return to Denmark?"
Margaret replied: "I have no intention of returning to Denmark. Wherever my husband goes, I will follow him."
Princess Mary said: "When I left England, your father was imprisoned. Don't you want to go back to Denmark to rescue him?"
Margaret was silent.
Prince Henry smiled and said: "I have already negotiated with the Grand Master. Within two years, he will lend me thousands of troops to help me seize the French throne. I also promised Mary that I will help her become the Queen of England. Britain and France
The countries will form an alliance in the future, why not have one more Denmark? Spain is too powerful, we must unite."
By the way, the novel app I’m using recently, [app] is supported by Android and Apple phones!
Wang Ji thought for a while: "Denmark is too cold and there is little arable land. I hope to get German land."
Prince Henry said: "Of course. As long as I become the king of France, I will send troops to help you expand in Germany, and you will help me expand to Switzerland."
Princess Mary said: "I hope to unify the three islands."
The three of them suddenly laughed.
Wang Ji said: "As far as I know, Switzerland is mountainous and it is difficult to fight there."
Prince Henry said: "But it must be defeated. The Protestant Pope is in Geneva, and I must occupy it in order to become a great monarch in the Catholic world."
Wang Ji pouted: "I don't care about the old or new religions."
Princess Mary said: "The Danish king believed in Protestantism, and the religious reform aroused dissatisfaction among the lords. If you want to quickly seize the Danish throne, you must unite with the Catholic lords and hold high the temperament of suppressing Protestantism, so as to gain the support of the Danish lords."
"That's the truth." Wang Ji didn't say what was in his heart.
He hates Christianity, but he hates Catholicism even more than Protestantism.
This is not the enlightened Catholicism hundreds of years later, but the decadent Catholicism that has continued from the Middle Ages. The church only knows how to sell indulgences and burn heretics. Moreover, Wang Ji also wants to expand to Germany, where the religious reform is in full swing. Once he flags
Declared to support Catholicism, the German Protestant lords must have strongly resisted.
Of course, as Wang Yuan's good son, Wang Ji is not a stubborn person.
First, use the excuse of opposing Protestantism to attract the local lords of Denmark and seize the throne of Denmark. As long as you have a strong army, you can unite with the Protestant lords and kill the Catholic lords. Attack both sides at the same time, and take advantage of the trend to centralize power. Organize it well
Denmark then reorganized Norway, then annexed Sweden, and then invaded Germany.
Moreover, no matter where Wang Ji attacks, he has very reasonable reasons for declaring war. His wife, Princess Margaret, has inheritance rights throughout Northern Europe and Germany!
The three made an alliance, and Britain, France, and Northern Europe declared an alliance.
Mary's development direction was to unify the British Isles, Henry's development direction was to expand to Milan, and Wang Ji wanted to unify Northern Europe before entering Germany.
The role of Spain is the ultimate big wave of SS, and we must work together to hold it back.
