The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

On September 29, 1833, King Fernando VII of Spain passed away. After hearing the news, Carlos Maria Isidro, who was in Portugal at the time, declared himself King of Spain on October 1, 1833 and changed his name to Charles V. World.

But as early as the day Ferdinand VII died. Queen Maria Christina declared Isabel II to be the king of Spain, and she herself was the queen regent of Isabel II.

On October 4, 1833, the Carlos faction launched an uprising. On October 17, Queen Regent Christina announced that Carlos would be deprived of his title of prince and all powers, and his property would be confiscated.

The First Carlos War broke out.

In fact, in 1830, Fernando VII promulgated a bill similar to the "State Decree", abolishing the Salic inheritance law and allowing women to inherit the Spanish throne.

The Edict of State met with widespread opposition, and most of the great nobles and high-ranking Catholics sided with Carlos.

But Carlos himself lacked political wisdom and political skills.

The Queen Regent is essentially the same kind of person as Carlos, they both hate liberalism and don't treat people other than nobles as human beings. She herself loves court intrigue and strife, and likes the supreme authority of the monarch under an autocratic system.

But the first thing she did when she came to power was to gain the support of the liberals and make a false impression of being close to the people.

Although she loathed liberals and commoners so much, she appointed a liberal leader of commoner origin as Prime Minister of Spain.

Then the queen regent made unrealistic promises to the great nobles and Catholic priests, claiming that not only would they safeguard their due rights, but they would even set up an annuity to reward those who were loyal to Spanish orthodoxy.

After some operations by Queen Regent Christina, the balance of power between the two sides was directly reversed.

Carlos, on the other hand, publicly condemned the treachery of the great nobles and high-level Catholics, and said that after he took the throne, he would remove the liberals from the country.

In fact, in the history of continental Europe, such situations of hedging bets are not uncommon, but Carlos did not understand the rules of the game, and naively thought that he was the party of justice, but pushed many potential supporters to Queen Regent Christie. Na Fang.

His threats had no effect, and instead left him alone.

At this time, Carlos can only rely on the peasants in Navarre, Vasconia, and Aragon, as well as the Saints Party (Ultra Conservative Party), which has always supported him, and the separatists in Baskonia and Catalonia ( similar to the Hungarian municipalities).

But Carlos' supporters, except for those honest farmers, neither noble priests nor separatists regarded Carlos as a king.

What the nobles and the church valued about Carlos was his conservatism and his weakness of will.

Carlos, who believed in religion, seemed to be a plaything in the hands of those priests by nature. Similarly, the nobles did not think that Carlos, who was weak-willed, dared to fight against the noble class.

Catholics and nobles all hope that Carlos can become the best puppet in their hands.

The separatists also feel that Carlos is in power and can better maintain their "freedom".

Because of the huge disparity in the comparison of strength, General Suramar, the leader of the Carlos faction, adopted a guerrilla warfare strategy.

From 1833 to 1835, the Carlos' guerrillas were not only not defeated by the government forces, but they fought more and more, with a maximum of 70,000 people. Under the command of General Suramar, they completed several beautiful battles. The vitality of the Spanish government army was greatly injured.

At this time Carlos also swelled up, forgetting the days when he had to be carried around the mountains on his back, and ordered to gather a large army to attack Bilbaja.

Under the personal command of Carlos in this battle, 20,000 troops were lost, General Suramar was killed, and Carlos had to go into exile overseas.

Carlos received assistance from the Legitimists in France, but not as much as he had imagined.

In fact, King Louis-Philippe of France sympathized with Carlos emotionally.

With the acquiescence of Louis-Philippe, France's extreme royalists can enter and leave the country at will, provide money, supplies and weapons to the Carlists, and even directly hire foreign soldiers to join the war.

The French territory can also be used as a hideout for the Carlists, and the Spanish government forces will be ruthlessly rejected by the French army if they want to cross the border.

Louis-Philippe and the ultra-Royalists have done a lot, but it's not enough.

This has a lot to do with Carlos' reluctance to part with his money. Because he is extremely religious, he has not even made a promise to the French.

That is to say, everything the French did before was completely unrequited, and they were simply "good guys" in the 19th century.

And Carlos is a complete iron cock, and now Franz is going to pluck this iron cock.

Carlos will never sell the land of Spain, so he thinks he has no chips, but in fact he has a lot of chips, such as his three sons.

If Carlos uses his youngest son to marry France, it will definitely get twice as much support as it is now, and even France will publicly support Carlos.

If Carlos uses his heir to marry France, then the French will definitely support Carlos with all their strength, and even send troops directly if possible.

Of course, our Mr. Carlos can't write.

Carlos will never use his sons as leverage, but Franz will help him.

A letter, addressed to Louis-Philippe, which will be received by Guizot or Thiers.

France, Tuileries Palace.

Thiers clutched a letter, feeling overwhelmed with emotion, thinking that the time had come for Lancey to return to its former glory.

Carlos will let his eldest son marry the Orléans dynasty, which is enough to change the pattern of Europe.

It is not difficult to imagine how powerful a united kingdom of France and Spain will be someday in the future. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Spain, which is now weak, has a glorious resume. France will take back everything it lost for Spain and integrate it into the glory of France.

At that time, France will leap to become a powerful force on par with Britain, and will eventually surpass it over time and replace Britain as the hegemony of the world.

It's just that Thiers' enthusiasm was poured cold water by the kingdom Louis-Philippe.

"Married with Carlos? The queen of Spain has abolished Carlos' title of prince, and he is no longer the heir to the Spanish throne."

"Your Majesty, we can support Carlos to the throne, so that the future king of Spain will have the blood of the Orleans Dynasty."

"Thiers, I don't think it is in France's own interest to get involved in the Spanish Civil War. Forget it."

Since the king objected, Thiers had no choice but to leave resentfully, but Louis-Philippe's cowardice still made him very angry.

But before Thiers left, he saw Guizot approaching from the opposite side very excitedly.

"Mr. Guizot, why are your steps so light?"

Guizot and Thiers had different ideas, but at this time Guizot greeted Thiers with a smile.

"Oh, Monsieur Thiers, I am sure you will be glad for France when you know this news."

"What good news?" asked Thiers.

"Spain is marrying us, France," replied Guizot.

Thiers lowered his face and thought, "This idiot is actually more caring than our King."

But Thiers remained calm on the surface, but made a gesture of invitation, letting Guizot go ahead of him. He wanted to see Guizot's disappointment when he learned that the king opposed the marriage with Spain.
