The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, Magellan, like Schwartz, is a descendant of a declining knight family. Schwartz lost his father's chance to become a knight, and Magellan lost his generation's chance to become a knight.

Although he participated in the Indian naval battle, he did not make any outstanding military exploits, his performance was only satisfactory, and he had no chance of being knighted. Moreover, the most unfortunate thing is that the queen that Magellan entered the palace as a servant was not the queen of the current king, but the queen of the former King of Portugal, Joao II.

Of course, the problem is not here. The problem is that João II's son is dead. The succeeding Manuel I was not the son of Joao II, but the enemy of Joao II. Because Joao II personally ordered the execution of Manuel I's brother Diogo, Duke of Viseu. Moreover, after his legal son, Crown Prince Alfonso, fell to his horse and died in another hunting shortly after his marriage, King Joao II did not choose Manuel I as his heir, but tried to promote his illegitimate son to become the prince. In the end, Joao II was unsuccessful. It can be said that until his death, Joao II and Manuel I were hostile.

Therefore, Magellan, who once served as the servant of Queen Joao II, had experience not only as a help, but as a resistance. After all, who would have thought that the new king and the old king would be enemies?

Therefore, he later had to join the Indian Expeditionary Force in order to gain military exploits. In the end, I didn't get any military exploits, so I had no choice but to go back to China to find opportunities...

It can be said that Magellan's efforts to promote the great voyage plan, in addition to the adventurous spirit, are also to a large extent to obtain the title of nobility.

But now, Marin deliberately frightened him and told him the dangers of sailing around the world, so that he dispelled the idea of ​​risking his life. After all, why risk your life if you can lie down and win? Isn't this sick?

Marin personally promised that there will definitely be a noble title in the future. Even, possibly hereditary nobility, instantly ignited Magellan's ambitions.

Later, Marin made another big move—sending Magellan to the noble ball of the North Sea State, and asked him to find his wife...

Magellan is already 35 years old. Although it is normal for male aristocrats in their thirties to not get married in this era, they can't find a suitable one. It's not that they don't want to get married.

Magellan was disliked by the new king because of the wrong team before. Naturally, he didn't get the title, so he couldn't talk about his status. The possibility of finding a noble wife was very low. Unless, there is a fool who takes a fancy to him. Apparently, the Governor of Seville, Spain is that idiot...

This time, Marin doesn't want to let the governor of Seville, Spain cut his beard again. After all, Magellan's route to Egypt may also pass through Seville. If Magellan is allowed to see that old fool again, and let that old fool give his daughter to Magellan, Magellan is likely to be drawn away by Spain...

so,

Marin couldn't wait to send Magellan to the ball of the nobles of the North Sea State, and asked him to find a wife in the North Sea State. In this way, he was in no danger of being wooed away by Spanish fools. After all, in this era, the canon rule forbids divorce...

In addition, after the Beihai Kingdom annexed 8 vassal states, there are now hundreds of old nobles in Bremen Province, and there are a lot of barons. There is no shortage of daughters in these old noble families.

Now, they have all lost power, and they are eager to return to officialdom. Marriage with the newly promoted nobles and marriage with Marin's favorite ministers has also become an important means for them to return to officialdom. Just like the Gust family, where Miss Gust married to Albert, has turned around now and has become one of the few well-mixed families among the old nobles. After all, the daughter married Marin's younger brother.

And marrying the newly promoted nobleman that Marin valued was not as effective as marrying Marin's younger brother, but it was finally an opportunity to return to officialdom. Therefore, whenever Marin introduces his young talents to the balls of those veteran nobles, these people are also very popular. This means that Marin gave them a chance, and they must try their best to be creditors...

...

In order to make it easier for Magellan to find a wife, Marin asked the guard who led Magellan to the old aristocratic ball to try to reveal a piece of news when introducing Magellan - His Majesty values ​​Magellan very much...

In this way, everyone will understand in their hearts - marrying someone whom His Majesty values ​​is a good opportunity to return to the officialdom...

In this way, the ignorant old boy Magellan was sent to the gathering place of the old nobles in Bremen Province, where he lived a life of attending noble balls all day long, dancing with noble ladies with different characteristics every day, and going on blind dates at the same time.

And Marin, after obtaining Magellan's consent, sent people to Porto, Portugal, to pick up Magellan's family to Beihai. In this way, the connection between Magellan and Portugal can also be severed.

Marin believes that in the original history, Magellan could completely abandon Portugal and serve Spain wholeheartedly, and it is very likely that he will abandon Portugal and serve the North Sea country wholeheartedly.

However, Magellan, a son of a Portuguese aristocrat, still has the possibility of being wooed by Portugal. Therefore, Marin felt a little worried, so he ordered Kohler to let him place a spy next to Magellan to supervise him at any time. Once you find out that someone from Portugal is wooing him, and Magellan is also tempted, then get rid of him...

Of course, that was when Magellan betrayed or was about to betray. If people serve themselves with peace of mind and duty, there is no need to embarrass them.

Moreover, if Magellan marries the daughter-in-law of the North Sea country, he will settle down in the North Sea country with peace of mind in the future, and the possibility of betrayal will be even smaller...

...

Everyone does not reject Magellan, a new nautical talent. Even, many people are willing to make friends with it. After all, he was someone Marin valued.

You know, Marin is sincerely busy helping Magellan find a wife, which is a sign of deep wooing. Who is looking for trouble for nothing, and dares to fight against Marin's celebrity?

Really... This person is Columbus, the number one navigator in the world...

Columbus is old and doesn't sail anymore. At present, he has retired and stays at home, either to teach and educate people in the nautical school, or to go to Las Vegas to "talk" with Maomei. Moreover, this old thing doesn't look for mature hairy girls, he likes to look for girls around 10 years old...

In other words, Columbus has completely given up his plan to make progress, and has already settled down for the elderly. However, the recent sudden emergence of Magellan has made Columbus feel the pressure...

It's not that Columbus thought that Magellan could overwhelm him, but that he worried that his son Diego Columbus would be overwhelmed by Magellan.

Diego Columbus is about the same age as Magellan, and he is now the commander of the fleet. However, Diego's talent is not high, it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. If any genius jumps out, it may affect Diego's future.

The American Columbus was not worried, he was a man of his own age. By the time Diego grows up, Amerigo will be old. Moreover, Amerigo's child is still young, and he is not in the same group as Diego.

But as soon as Magellan appeared, Columbus was nervous. Because, Columbus remembered one thing-it seems that the strait at the southernmost tip of South America was named "Magellan Strait" by Marin many years ago... What the hell is going on? How can there be such a coincidence? It seems that this Magellan is a major competitor of his son Diego...

So, with dissatisfaction, Columbus ran to Marin to find fault. He hopes that Marin can give a clear attitude, support his son, or Magellan? Of course, Columbus definitely hoped it was the former...
