Chapter 2731: The Vision of a Black-hearted Merchant

Carlos II, King of Spain, King of Sicily (called Carlos II) and King of Naples (called Carlos V), Count of Burgundy and Count of Charolais.

Carlos II was the son of King Philip IV of Spain, and his mother was Maria Anna, princess of Austria and daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III. When he was born, his four eldest brothers had all died, making him the rightful heir to the Spanish throne. His birth has also become a great joy in Spain.

Since Spain and the Holy Roman Empire belonged to the Habsburg family, Carlos II suffered from multiple genetic diseases, mental retardation and epilepsy due to inbreeding, and was so weak that he might die at any time, unable to bear the education that a monarch should receive .

He was the most severe of the Habsburg familial lordosis, a jaw so large that he could not chew. His tongue was also so large that no one could understand what he said.

Carlos II was weaned at the age of 5 and did not learn to walk until the age of 10 due to lameness.

Due to his young age and frail health, his mother, Empress Maria Anna of Austria, is now in charge of the government, and he has always ignored the government.

But when he stood up, the golden mouth opened, it was the imperial decree!

All the ministers could not oppose him, and the only one who could oppose him, Queen Maria Anna, was silent, so she passed the alliance with France and united all the forces of Christ to oppose the Chinese court!

Cardinal Otto Princeton smiled, deeply pleased with the result.

This matter was his masterpiece. Before the court meeting, he secretly entered the palace and used both hard and soft tactics to convince His Majesty the king and his mother. Otherwise, he would not speak out to the ignorant king. Will not agree to war.

Spain is God's country after all!

In 1492 AD, Ferdinand II and Isabella I led the crowd to retake the land of Spain from the Moors. When they won, Spain had a choice in which direction to develop.

It was Ferdinand II and Isabella I—especially Isabella I's unwavering faith in God—that led Spain in the direction of uncompromising Catholic orthodoxy. Without her influence, it is entirely possible that Spain has always been a generally multi-religious society.

The religious prejudice held by the founding kings and his wife and the Inquisition they founded have had a profound impact on the entire future history of Spain. In Spain, religion only allows a completely orthodox Catholicism to exist, which is the foundation of the country!

In the 17th century, there were as many as 9,000 monasteries in Spain, and 1.2 million priests, nuns, and monks!

It is inevitable to oppose heretics. The strong religious atmosphere in Spain gave the cardinal sufficient confidence, prompting His Majesty the King, mother and son to agree with him.

Of course, there is also a timing. If the French do not live up to their expectations and suffer a defeat in the naval battle, the Queen Mother Maria Anna will have sufficient reasons to oppose the cardinal's proposal. After all, she can't seek death on her own.

To prepare for an alliance with France and a war against the Chinese requires the preparation of a treaty of alliance, which is the responsibility of the diplomats, while Foreign Minister Juan Joaquin Castro is sidelined due to his pro-Chinese stance, Queen Maria Ana It was announced that his powers were temporarily in the charge of Don Busquets Pedri, the deputy foreign minister who was in charge of the war, and asked him to go to Austria immediately to explain Spain's position, and added: "Without the royal family's will, he cannot return Madrid!"

It is not only his punishment, but also his protection. The queen mother is still humane.

Juan Joaquin Castro had no face, he shamefully left the palace in the eyes of all the ministers bs, and was intercepted outside the palace gate by the Deputy Minister of Finance, Bahamonde Saldova Ruy live.

The two are allies of the DPRK and China. They agreed to support the Chinese together, but the relationship is not good, and they cannot get along in other aspects.

Even as an ally, Juan Joaquin Castro looked down on the undersecretary of the treasury for his black-hearted money-making.

Compared with Juan Joaquin Castro's pale face and dejected look, Bahamund Salvatore Ruy's face was relaxed, and it seemed that the setbacks in court did not make him feel much disappointed .

Bahamund Saldova Ruy asked him, "How much money do you have left?"

Inexplicable, how much money do I have?

Seeing Juan Joaquin Castro's bewildered expression, Bahammond Saldova Ruy smiled and said: "I am going to collect a lot of funds. Once our country is defeated and the political situation is in turmoil, I will You can buy it at a low price and make a fortune!"

Juan Joaquin Castro was extremely shocked, he looked around subconsciously, and saw that he and Bahamund Salvatore Ruy's personal guards were guarding the surroundings, and there was no idler around to listen, so he let the He let out a sigh of relief.

He has just been deposed. Even if someone else said this kind of thing, I am afraid that he will also be **** and not be able to leave Madrid.

Bahamund Salvador Ruy shrugged: "Don't be surprised, this is not far from the fact that Spain and France will definitely lose!"

"How can you have such an idea!" Juan Joaquin Castro reprimanded him falsely.

"Because it is God himself who is fighting us!" Bahamund Salvador Ruy uttered nonsense, and he spread his hands: "The Ottomans are the 'God's whip', which was broken by the pagan emperor. Whip, then the one who can break the 'Whip of God' must be God himself!"

Juan Joaquin Castro rolled his eyes and said, "Your thinking is dangerous! I have to stay away from you!"

Yes, such rebellious words, even if they are nobles, they might all be burned at the stake!

Her Majesty Queen Isabella I founded the Inquisition to maintain the orthodoxy of Catholicism~www.wuxiaspot.com~ used cruel means to punish heresies, and tens of thousands of people were burned to death by the Inquisition!

Its reputation is feared, and their words must be heard, and nobility will not keep them.

Bahamund Saldova Ruy said impatiently: "Okay, can you pay?"

Juan Joaquin Castro gritted his teeth: "Come out, why not!"

Except for the mansion that has been passed down for generations, he did not sell, but sold all the shops, fields, and vineyards, and got more than one million Spanish silver dollars, all of which were handed over to Bahamund Salvador Ruy for operation.

The unscrupulous businessman gave the receipt and promised Juan Joaquin Castro that it would be one for two, that is, if Juan Joaquin Castro sold one vineyard, he would pay him two in the future. If you sell a piece of land, you will pay him back two yuan in the future, and so on.

Dare to give 100% profit, it can be seen how much Bahamund Salvador Ruy is not optimistic about Spain's participation in the war, and it is ridiculous that Cardinal Otto Princeton still wrote about defeating heretics, Christians killed all directions, and turned the tide sweet dreams!
