Chapter 1651 The troubles of the royal family

On the other side, Madrid, Spain.

After a storm of smallpox, the whole of Europe looked a bit sluggish.

The source of smallpox cannot be traced, but the impact it caused was very bad.

As the climate and weather changed, the number of people infected with smallpox gradually decreased. Almost all the people God chose to be damned died, and the rest escaped.

Ferdinand VI looked at his foreign minister, his eyes full of sadness, "You said that Smith and their iron kingdom survived this smallpox disaster?"

"According to the information sent back by the envoys stationed in Bogota, this is indeed the case."

Ferdinand VI shook his head in disbelief, "How did they do it?"

"Your Majesty, this is also the place where I am very puzzled. Even if the medical methods and doctors of the White Iron Kingdom are of high standard, they cannot fight against smallpox, so I think there must be something we don't know about it."

"Then hurry up and investigate, I want to know why."

This kind of thing is both helpless and frustrating.

The succession of Ferdinand VI was assisted by Maria Barbara. The queen had secretly formed an alliance with three Spanish party members to consolidate the regime of Ferdinand VI.

His queen was actually sent by the king of Portugal to strengthen the political alliance between Portugal and Spain.

The queen had suffered misfortune with him, and almost shared the same sorrow, so she was trustworthy.

But this queen is also very considerate. For Ferdinand VI who has just succeeded to the throne, there is no doubt that she is a very ideal queen.

Ferdinand VI rubbed his brows again. Things were complicated and had to be unraveled bit by bit. The war and political disputes between the European royal families could not be resolved in a short period of time by his new king.

The contradictions standing among the royal families of various countries in Europe were not formed in a day.

Ferdinand VI shook his head, "Maria is my sister after all. As the princess of the royal family, she must make her efforts for the royal family. Spain cannot suffer any more serious losses."

Marriages between the entire European royal families are very frequent, and the blood relationship is also very complicated, but this does not mean that they are allies. For example, the current Russian Crown Prince Peter and his Crown Prince Ye Katerina, two people, one admired the king of Prussia, and the other was originally a Prussian, but the current Russian Empress Elizabeth did not support Prussia, nor did they imagine an alliance with Prussia. There has been flirtation between Britain and Prussia recently.

Ferdinand VI squinted his eyes, "Wait, let's accumulate strength. Spain was able to dominate the world a few centuries ago. It might be possible to rise again. He will look good at that time."

"Don't worry too much about the colony. After all, there is an Atlantic Ocean, and we may not be able to reach that far."

The queen hesitated to speak, but when Ferdinand VI turned his head to look at the quiet queen, he said to himself, "I know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than the nobles and the queen mother in the country."

It's not that he is powerless, but that all the children of the European royal family are powerless. On the one hand, they have to rely on the nobles in their own country to consolidate their rule, and on the other hand, they are restrained by these noble relations, binding their hands and feet.

For Ferdinand VI, the queen was almost his good wife.

Now, they are also actively fighting against the Queen Mother.

The queen put the coffee cup in her hand in front of Ferdinand VI, "Hasn't Maria already married?"

The recent actions have already made the Russian Emperor Elizabeth very disgusted.

"Thank you, but I don't need this for the time being!" Ferdinand VI refused without a doubt, asking him a new king of Spain to beg Portugal.

After Ferdinand VI took office, he also relied on Maria Barbara's advice and help. Today, Maria Barbara is almost an assistant to Ferdinand VI's government affairs.

This is not only the case in Spain, but also in other countries. Perhaps only those kings with great power and great prestige may be better, but they are not much better.

"Recently, news came back!" Ferdinand VI snorted coldly, "This Royer Smith started flirting with the French royal family again, but he was on a few boats, having a great time. King George , Frederick for a while, King Louis of France for a while, and even me, the king of Spain, was played and applauded by him, it seems that this person is really a serious trouble!"

Maria Barbara was not a beautiful woman, and her appearance was ordinary, but Ferdinand VI fell in love with Maria Barbara deeply because they both loved music.

"You don't have to worry too much."

The minister nodded and went out, and after a while, Ferdinand VI's queen came to him.

Ferdinand VI clenched his fists and slammed the table hard, and said with some annoyance: "How can you not be anxious? Although the loss of the colony did not start from me, the colonies that the Iron Kingdom has now captured in the Americas , Most of them used to belong to us in Spain, seeing their arrogance, I feel angry in my heart."

Listening to the queen's soft words, Ferdinand VI felt a little better, "But the news from the envoys is not ideal. After all, Maria is a child, playing like crazy, and she doesn't even know how to help us. Take this annoying Royer Smith."

As he said that, Ferdinand VI sighed, "Royer Smith is like a wild horse that has run wild. No one can control him now, and now even King George of England can't do anything about him."

Maria Barbara was well educated. In addition to her talent in music, she was proficient in various languages ​​and was keen to read a variety of books.

He sneered, "Now they have been fattened up. They don't care about the royal family at all. They only know about extravagance all day long, and they don't know what kind of crisis the kingdom is in."

The queen also frowned. She knew what King Ferdinand VI of Spain said. Nowadays, European countries are very embarrassed when facing this kind of problem.

"Write a letter to Portugal, my mother may be able to help us!"

But the queen doesn't like to show off her influence on her spouse and government policy. She left a very positive influence on the ministers.

The queen covered her mouth and chuckled, "Maria is too young, and she doesn't know much about the political schemes in the harem, so I can't blame her."

It's a pity that no child was born between them, it would be nice if there was a child.

Today, his queen Maria Barbara is still in love with him.

Now, Ferdinand VI will not be too worried.

But Maria Barbara had a fatal illness that almost became a shadow in Ferdinand VI's heart, that is, Maria Barbara suffered from severe asthma, and he was very worried that his wife would not be able to accompany him one day.

Reminiscent of the White Iron Kingdom's fight against smallpox this time, Ferdinand VI has already had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
