    Chapter 507 Guests gather and good shows are staged frequently (second update)

    Before the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire and the ceremony of Xiao Mingqian¡¯s enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor, representatives from various countries who received invitations came to Taipei one after another.  []

    This is the first time Taipei has been officially displayed in front of the world.  Although there had been Xiao Mingqian's wedding before, Taiwan was still in a semi-blockade state at that time. The outside world was very unfamiliar with Taiwan, and Taipei seemed very mysterious to all countries in the world.

    But now, Taiwan, the Chinese Empire, has become the most powerful country in the world. Everyone knows that the political center of this country is Taipei, a city that was just established more than ten years ago.

    Among these guests, includes Spanish Princess Maria?  Anna was accompanied by her two younger brothers Carlos and Federico.

    The purpose of their coming to Taiwan was not to participate in the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China and Xiao Mingqian's enthronement ceremony, but to make peace and seek medical treatment.

    As members of the Spanish Habsburg royal family, Carlos and Federico have always been in poor health, probably due to the influence of incest marriages. If they are not careful, they will have a close conversation with the God of Death.

    Originally, they were all desperate, but since Taiwan¡¯s patent medicine became popular in Europe, they have benefited a lot from it.

    In order to sell medicines to Europe, Taiwan has put a lot of effort into the research of various diseases in Europe, and has basically conducted research on various diseases prevalent in Europe.

    While this kind of research has brought great progress to traditional Chinese medicine, it has also brought huge profits to Taiwan.  Because after various targeted patent medicines arrived in Europe, they became a huge boon to the European aristocracy, allowing many of them to get rid of the disease.  Carlos and Federico are the two beneficiaries.

    Although Taiwan defeated Spain in the East and completely blocked Spain's possibility of expansion in the East, this did not bring decline to Spain. Instead, it slowly restored Spain's national strength, which had been destroyed by Philip III.  .

    Especially after the Netherlands' complete defeat in the east, Spain's control over the lowlands has been greatly strengthened, and it has begun to show signs of counterattacking the Netherlands.

    At the same time, due to the improved financial situation and the strengthening of trade with Taiwan, Spain performed well in the ongoing war throughout Europe.

    All of these make Spain¡¯s perception of Taiwan not that bad. It can even be described as very good.

    Of course, Philip IV, who succeeded the king, could not ignore Taiwan¡¯s huge influence on Europe.  Taking advantage of the opportunity that Carlos and Federico need to come to the East for treatment, will their unmarried sister Maria be taken over?  Anna was also sent to the East.

    He had only one purpose, which was to form an alliance through marriage with the king in the East who was one year older than him. To this end, he even rejected the proposal of Ferdinand of the Holy Roman Empire when he first ascended the throne.

    The reason is the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that was just introduced to Europe. Inbreeding will lead to an increase in genetic diseases among offspring.

    But, after arriving in the East, Maria?  Anna felt that her brother's plan might completely fail.

    After arriving in the East, Maria?  Anna did feel the power and prosperity of this eastern country.  Even the original Dutch colony of Batavia, now Haicheng, is far more prosperous than any other city in Europe.

    With a population of more than 300,000, Haicheng is now the most prosperous city in the entire Nanyang region.  With the support of Taiwan's strong material and human resources, it is no longer the chaotic, dirty town it was during the Dutch rule.

    The huge port, clean and tidy streets, urban buildings with oriental charm and strict layout, and the happy and contented people inside make this city very beautiful and rich at a glance.

    ¡°How can such a city that was captured from the Dutch only six or seven years ago become like this, Maria?  Anna can't imagine how powerful Taiwan can be.

    The longer you stay in the East, Maria?  The more Anna admires Xiao Mingqian, the more she looks forward to her marriage.  Although it is unsatisfactory that Eastern monarchs can take multiple wives at the same time.  But Maria?  Anna also figured it out.  Although European monarchs only had one wife, they also had countless mistresses.

    But, in Maria?  When Anna was full of longing, a piece of bad news made her realize that her trip to the East might not achieve her goal.

    People throughout Nanyang know that theirThe master is not lustful, so far, he only has two wives at the beginning.  This is extremely unbelievable in the East, because one of his ministers named Chen Yuanyun now has eight wives.

    At the same time, Xiao Mingqian¡¯s words that he would never marry any force for political purposes also reached Maria?  Anna's ears.

    ¡°Honestly, Maria?  Anna very much agreed with Xiao Mingqian's idea. If it hadn't been the purpose of her trip, she might have applauded it.  But now this situation is giving colleagues throughout Spain a headache.

    However, no matter what, since we have arrived in the East and it happens to be the right time, we should go to Taiwan to watch the ceremony, otherwise we will be disrespectful to this big Eastern country.

    At the same time, representatives from the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan walked into the hotel where the Ming delegation was staying.

    "Doi Toshiki, a veteran of Japan's Tokugawa generals, pays homage to the Angel of Heaven!"

    After seeing Shi Kefa, Doi Toshiki immediately bowed his head and worshiped.

    Doi Toshi¡¯s attitude made Shi Kefa, who had been in a bad mood since arriving in Taiwan, feel slightly better.  At least not all small barbarian countries no longer respect the Ming Dynasty.

    "Ambassador of Japan, please get up quickly! In Taiwan, I am an envoy of other countries, and I don't need so many courtesy."

    Shi Kefa knew that he was now an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and now that the Ming Dynasty was facing internal and external troubles, it was the time for Duoduo to make allies.

    "What do angels think of Taiwan?"

    After sitting down, Doi Toshiki first opened the topic.

    "Hmph, resorting to military violence is a great danger to all countries!"

    Facing Doi Risheng, Shi Kefa naturally did not need to hide it and directly expressed his thoughts.

    "Then according to what the angel of Ming Dynasty has seen, can Ming Dynasty completely resist Taiwan's invasion?"

    Doi Toshi¡¯s words made Shi Kefa¡¯s expression change, and he immediately said sternly.

    "I think Japan has now become Taiwan's meal. Your envoy should worry more about Japan."
