King Charles I of England was cut off by Cromwell, and his wife and children all went into exile.
In the middle school history textbook, it tells about the restoration of the Stuart Dynasty. Charles II, the protagonist of the restoration, was enjoying himself in the manor at this time, drinking and drinking until the dark in the daytime.
"Charles, you can't do this, you should cheer up." Mother Maria tried hard to persuade.
Since he is still only a prince in exile, he cannot be called Charles II. His real name is Charles James Stuart.
Charles, who was only in his early twenties, smiled drunkenly: "Mother, I know, I will regain the throne. But this does not affect my drinking. When I wake up tomorrow, I will practice riding."
This guy has been in exile since he was 12 years old, worked as a beggar, and slept on the streets. I have also learned crafts, worked as a craftsman, and have a lot of messy skills.
Over the years, his personality is precocious, cynical, and dissolute.
Once you get the money, you must enjoy it to your heart's content. Anyway, let's spend all the money first.
The mother, son, brother and sister first sought support from France. His mother, Maria, was the aunt of the King of France.
However, King Louis XIV of France has not yet been in power, and the relationship between the Queen Mother of France and Maria is not good, so the French government refuses to help them restore.
So they went to the Netherlands again, because the younger sister of Charles II was the wife of the Prince of Orange. It is a pity that the Prince of Orange, who is still wearing crotch pants at this time, has been abolished from the Dutch ruling position, and cannot provide effective help at all.
In desperation, the family ran to Spain for help.
On the way, Charles II's younger brother, James, chose to separate from his family and resolutely joined the French army (that is, James II).
Maria said in a serious tone: "Spain refuses to provide support, we have to go to Italy again. You are not allowed to squander the remaining money, otherwise we will not even have enough travel expenses."
Along the way, there were aristocratic relatives who gave money, and Charles II enjoyed it when he had money, and went into exile when he ran out of money.
The quality of life of this family is either noble or beggar.
Charles smiled eccentrically and said: "Mother, stop fantasizing. The Medici family and the Duke of Savoy are unlikely to give us any support. Of course, we can get some money. The last thing they need is money."
Maria's sister, married to the Duke of Savoy.
Maria's mother was from the Medici family.
"Mom, brother!"
The exiled princess Elizabeth suddenly rushed in and said pleasantly: "I heard from the nobles in the city that the Chinese envoys are in Portugal and have brought a lot of Chinese noble knights. If we can get help from China, maybe we can restore the country!"
Maria's eyes lit up: "It is said that the emperor of China was once an exiled prince. He had the same experience as us! Those who came to Europe are only Chinese envoys. I am afraid they dare not make their own claims. But we can go to China and persuade China Emperor, let him send an army to defeat the rebel Cromwell!"
Charles, who was drunk, also became excited: "China should be very interesting, and it must be interesting along the way. Maybe you can go to explore primitive islands."
Maria was very speechless to this son, heartless, and didn't care about restoration at all.
In fact, even if Charles became Charles II, he was still so heartless.
He has superb political means, can always resolve crises easily, and is humorous and tolerant. But as long as it doesn't interfere with his enjoyment of life, he doesn't care about anything.
As a king, his wife was infertile, and he didn't bother to divorce and remarry, but he had more than ten sons with his mistress. The legitimacy of the illegitimate child is too low, and he will definitely not be able to succeed, and he doesn't care about it. Anyway, enjoy yourself until you die, and let your younger brother return to the country to be the king after death.
The family soon left Spain by boat and went to Portugal to see the Chinese envoy.
Maria went to seek help, but Charles simply wanted to visit China. The prince, who has been in exile since he was 12 years old, is used to the world. He does not hope for anyone, and his philosophy of life is to enjoy life to the fullest
Lisbon.
The Chinese mission has been staying for more than half a month, attending banquets twice in three days, and also taking time to conduct consultations and negotiations during the period.
On behalf of the Chinese court, Zhang Ruifeng signed the Treaty of Lisbon with King Jo?o IV:
First, China recognizes Portugal as an independent country and recognizes Joao IV as the king of Portugal.
Second, Portugal recognizes Macau as Chinese territory, and there is no longer any dispute between the two countries regarding Macau.He said, "I heard that Ma'am used to be a French princess?"
Maria replied: "Louis XIV, King of France, is my own nephew."
Lu Tianxiang asked again: "The ruler of the Netherlands is the wife's grandson?"
Maria replied: "The current Prince of Orange is indeed my grandson, but he was illegally deprived of the honor of ruling the Netherlands by the damned Dutch businessman."
Lu Tianxiang asked again: "Madam is from the famous Medici family?"
Maria replied: "My mother's surname is Medici."
Lu Tianxiang looked at Zhang Ruifeng, Zhang Ruifeng already understood.
They have been in Portugal for more than half a month. Apart from attending banquets and negotiations, they are also frantically inquiring about things about Europe.
The British queen in exile in front of me can be taken in completely, and can be used in many places.
Lu Tianxiang stopped talking, Zhang Ruifeng said: "Her Royal Highness, we still have to visit various countries. If it is convenient, can Her Royal Highness accompany us?"
