Chapter 1652 The Queen's Dark Illness

Compared with smallpox, which is terminally ill in humans, the asthma suffered by Maria Barbara is a very serious disease in the eyes of Ferdinand VI, but Ferdinand VI believes that if he can really get the support of Roy Smith, he may be able to cure Mary Barbara's disease.

They hadn't had a baby over the years since Maria Barbara's first baby died.

In fact, Ferdinand VI really wanted to have a new child with his queen at this time, but on the one hand, he was afraid of Maria Barbara's illness, fearing that she would not be able to survive the childbirth stage, which would cause irreparable sorrow. He had just succeeded, and both of them had their minds on the outside world.

Whether it's the war with the Iron Kingdom, or the struggle with the Queen Mother in the harem, they are devastated.

Ferdinand VI didn't dare to have children at this time, and if any unexpected mistakes happened, he would regret it too late.

Ferdinand VI gently patted Queen Maria Barbara's hand and said: "If you have time, I suggest you go to Buenos Aires, no, let Maria come back from the Iron Kingdom After staying for a while, you should teach her some things, after all, Maria is a child, and many things are not as careful as you."

Maria Barbara held Ferdinand VI's hand with her backhand and shook it solemnly. Ferdinand VI felt the warmth in his wife's hand and smiled.

Maria Barbara took her hand out of his palm, patted his hand, and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter, but I hope to put aside the strategy of the White Iron Kingdom for the time being, the first , We are too far away from them. Second, the Viceroyalty of Peru has suffered heavy losses. Now that they have just signed the peace treaty, they are already seriously injured. It is definitely not a good thing to launch an attack on the Baiti Kingdom at this time, and the Queen Mother has been They are forcing us with this matter."

"Now is not a good time to be tough on the White Iron Kingdom, and we need to continue to endure."

And now, with the control shown by the White Iron Kingdom in this fight against smallpox, Ferdinand VI has completely dispelled the plot against the White Iron Kingdom.

As allies in the War of Austrian Succession, Prussia, France, and Spain fought almost in alliance.

Portugal will not support his mother-in-law, Grand Duke Maria Anna at all, let alone Ferdinand VI.

But what Ferdinand VI hated the most recently was the betrayal of France. Facing the olive branch thrown by the White Iron Kingdom, the French King hesitated.

At least for a short period of time, they have no ability to launch a counterattack against the White Iron Kingdom.

On the one hand, his queen maintains the stability of the political situation in Spain, and on the other hand, she is also considering the Portuguese royal family.

Neither the weakness of Portugal nor the weakness of Spain is a good thing for them.

Ferdinand VI nodded. He actually did not expect that he would be so embarrassing after his succession. In the first year of his succession, he suffered a major blow from the White Iron Kingdom.

The two countries rely on each other politically, and also care for each other.

Today's Ferdinand VI actually hopes that Louis Ferdinand, the son of King Louis XV of France, can quickly succeed to the throne, because his wife is his sister.

His father-in-law also relied on these wealth to make Portugal rejuvenate.

It may be because of the dominance of the White Iron Kingdom in the Caribbean Sea that France wants to actively seek their participation in the development of the North American colony.

But as a king, he cannot easily support Spain, because Brazil is next to the Kingdom of White Iron.

A large amount of Brazil's gold flowed into Portugal, and the suzerain country greatly increased Portugal's property by relying on one out of five taxes.

It can be said that Portugal is going extremely steadily now, but before Ferdinand VI succeeded to the throne, his father-in-law was disabled due to a stroke, and now her mother-in-law, Grand Duke Maria Anna, is in charge of government affairs in the country.

So all of this is simply impossible. From what his wife said just now, Ferdinand VI has already detected his mother-in-law's mind.

If Brazil is lost, the foundation of Portugal's rule will be shaken, and because they rely on Brazil, they can reorganize and expand the navy and army, bringing Portugal's military back to the same level as Europe for the time being.

Once the Kingdom of Portugal expresses its position, there is no doubt that the evil hand of Royer Smith will reach out to Brazil.

But now, France is very ambiguous in terms of the attitude of the Iron Kingdom.

But fortunately, he still has this wife behind him, otherwise, he would feel that he would not be able to hold on. Fortunately, his wife is the daughter of King Joao of Portugal, and he can still seek support through his wife.

Obviously, he miscalculated his own influence. He thought that the French king would reject it decisively, but the ambiguous attitude shown by the French king now was something he had never expected.

As for such things as the peace treaty, it is a piece of waste paper, and it may be canceled anytime and anywhere. In Ferdinand VI's heart, this is not a special constraint, especially when the opposite party is still a bunch of unfaithful people. Not to mention pirates with no political roots.

Even though they failed in this war, they did not lose much.

After all, Brazil is right under the eyes of the Iron Kingdom. As long as Royer Smith moves his mouth, his fleet will sail to the port of Brazil.

The King of Portugal would never allow the gold to slip away from him.

Facing the White Iron Kingdom, which dominates the entire Caribbean region, Portugal's small fleet in Brazil is simply not enough.

As the source of gold for the Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil provided a large amount of gold to the Kingdom of Portugal.

His father-in-law firmly controlled the Portuguese monarchy as soon as he came to power, and was the first truly autocratic monarch in Portuguese history.

The loss of the colony, the trampling of the dignity of the kingdom, was almost intolerable to him.

For Ferdinand VI, they were not much of a deterrent in Europe.

But this incident made Ferdinand VI extremely annoyed, but the impact he could have on the French royal family was not as great as he imagined.

On the other hand, his father-in-law used a large amount of money transactions to win over the teaching staff and the Pope's special envoy, so that the Vatican recognized him as the legitimate monarch.

And his mother-in-law is even more unlikely to support him in launching a war against the White Iron Kingdom, which is not in line with Portugal's interests.

Once he takes office, the relationship between the two countries will soon enter the honeymoon period, and perhaps many things can be easily resolved.

On the other hand, Ferdinand VI was very worried about his little sister, Ma Maria Antonia. She was still in Bogotá, the Kingdom of Iron, but although she was not physically restricted or received cold reception, Luo, the consul of the Kingdom of Iron, Ye Smith has been delaying the marriage, which made him feel a kind of insult.

Although they were already humiliating, they didn't get the gentle attitude of the tough consul of the White Iron Kingdom. He had to be on guard against the White Iron Kingdom's turning against him at any time.
