The Rise of the European Emperor

Magellan had a rich resume and was born in a declining knight family in Porto, northern Portugal. When he was 10 years old, his father tried to find a way to send him to the palace to serve in the palace. Later, he also served as page boy of the Queen of Portugal.

But it's a pity that in Europe, the identity of the queen's side is useless. Because in ancient Europe, blood was more important. Because of his low birth, Magellan did not flourish. It can only be said that I got a little more opportunities than others.

Later, Magellan was incorporated into the Portuguese National Navigation Office, and later accompanied Almeida, the first Portuguese governor of India, on his expedition to India. Later, he also took part in the Battle of Diu. However, as a low-level grassroots officer. Later, when returning to China, Magellan was promoted to captain because of a shipwreck and handled the matter properly...

That is to say, before that, Magellan didn't even take the position of captain, he was just an inconspicuous little person. It is precisely because of this that Magellan was not reconciled and tried every means to find opportunities to stand out. He asked Manuel I to lead a team to sail around the world, but it was actually just to gain fame. Of course, he also has a certain level of sailing and an adventurous spirit.

Today, Magellan is 35 years old, and he has not achieved anything so far, and he has not even been a knighthood. He still bears the title of "children of the nobles" and has not yet been able to be a nobleman.

Moreover, in this time and space, Magellan's mess is worse than in the original history. In the original history, when Magellan returned from India when he was 30 years old, his ship ran aground and the whole crew was stranded on a deserted island. Magellan stood up and directed everyone to tide over the difficulties because of his calmness in the face of danger, and was later promoted to captain.

Because of Marin's intervention, the history of this time and space has changed a lot. The original naval battle of Diu became the naval battle of Calicut. Moreover, from the command of Almeida, it became the command of the Spanish commander Da Costa.

Therefore, the contribution of Magellan in this time and space is much smaller than that in the original history. And when he returned to China, he didn't encounter the accident that caused him to run aground further. In the end, he didn't even get along with the captain. When he left the Portuguese Navy, he was only a second officer, and it was extremely miserable...

Fortunately, as a son of aristocrats, Magellan was sent to the palace as a servant when he was young. Magellan had a wide range of knowledge. He also read a lot of books when he served in the palace and knew a lot about navigation.

In order to get ahead, Magellan suddenly thought—since Columbus and Amerigo can get ahead, why can't I follow their example and engage in a great voyage?

Don't even think about exploring the Indian route, but, I can do a round-the-world voyage...

Magellan and his friends are all supporters of the theory of "the earth is spherical", hoping to verify this. And, if he can be the first to test this theory, it will bring him great prestige. Then, fame, titles... everything is there...

Then,

He sold the plan to Manuel I. It's a pity that Manuel I has already got the Indian route, and he doesn't want to make troubles, so he has to find another route. Because this route is enough for Portugal.

So, King Manuel I of Portugal had no interest in supporting Magellan's expedition...

Originally, Magellan planned to try his luck in Spain. However, he suddenly remembered that the two most famous navigators in Europe, Columbus and Amerigo, seemed to be in the North Sea State. Marin, the Grand Duke of the North Sea Kingdom, seems to attach great importance to great voyages... Maybe, you can fool around?

Moreover, Marin happened to be promoted to the king of America recently, and he must be in a good mood. Maybe, while he was in a good mood, he could fool him into investing?

Then, Magellan changed his plan to go to Seville, Spain, and instead went to the North Sea to try his luck...

He didn't know that his decision made him lose a marriage, and also lost the chance to win the honor of the first circumnavigation of the world...

...

Naturally, Marin would not support Magellan's voyage around the world, because it was unnecessary. You know, Amerigo has already set off from Panama, crossed the Pacific Ocean, and arrived at Taiwan Island. In other words, Magellan's expedition is meaningless.

However, Marin didn't want to let Magellan go. Because, if Magellan left the North Sea country, he would definitely go to Spain to seek sponsorship. If he gets sponsorship in Spain and completes the circumnavigation...

Among other things, the vastness of the American land will definitely be exposed to the Europeans!

After all, Marin remembered that Magellan's route followed Brazil, Argentina, all the way to the Strait of Magellan, before turning west to the Pacific Ocean.

At that time, needless to say, the situation along the coast of Brazil, the climate and terrain of Argentina will be fully exposed at once. If the Spaniards know the vastness of South America and the relatively mild climate in Argentina (compared to Brazil), they will definitely be tempted.

Especially the La Plata estuary is definitely a very suitable area for development...

Therefore, after thinking about it, Marin felt that Magellan must not be let go to the Spaniards. Otherwise, the situation in the Americas will definitely be exposed.

For a moment, Marin felt murderous, and decided to just kill Magellan. However, it would be a pity if a historical celebrity like Magellan was killed like this...

Therefore, Marin decided to test Magellan's attitude first. He decided to win over Magellan with generous treatment first. If the other party accepts the solicitation, then forget it. After all, I also need a lot of sailing talents.

However, if the other party insists on sailing around the world, then don't blame yourself for being cruel...

In history, after Magellan sailed around the world on behalf of Spain, he caused panic in King Manuel I of Portugal. Even Manuel I planned to send someone to assassinate Magellan to eliminate future troubles, but it was unsuccessful.

Thinking of what Manuel I did in the original history, Marin suddenly lost the burden in his heart-you see, other Portuguese monarchs do this, and I am not a special case, am I...

...

With complicated feelings, Marin, the master traveler, summoned Magellan, the original navigator in history...

Unlike the big boss in Marin's imagination, Magellan was very humble after seeing Marin, with a flattering look. This attitude made Marin very useful, and he was a little bit flustered. Then, he remembered—it seems that he is the big boss now, and Magellan is still a young man who has not made it...

...

When Magellan held up the globe, promoted his "circle of the earth" theory to Marin, and asked to lead a team to explore the route around the world, Marin frowned...

Magellan felt a "thump" in his heart, and said in his heart—won't he fail again?

He thought that Marin looked down on his plan, but he didn't know that at this moment, Marin was thinking about how to stop his great idea...

At this moment, Marin was organizing his words, thinking about how to prevent Magellan from sailing around the world. At the same time, he recruited the other party...
