There is no secret in the mansion. When Chen Yu returned to his yard, his wife Wu Jun came forward and complained with a grudge: "Master, you are the uncle's biological child at least, why do you just want to vent your anger? You are really, why did you appear in front of the uncle? You know that you were born by your aunt, so you are not honest?"

Chen Yu's face changed slightly. No matter how you say it, it was all about his biological mother. Although he had already passed away, he always felt harsh when he heard it. However, he remembered Wu Jun's strength since his marriage, Chen Yu lowered his head and endured it. Wu Jun was born in the Marquis's Mansion. Although he was a concubine like Chen Yu, he always felt that this marriage was a marriage, especially he couldn't stand Chen Yu's cowardice.

"Dad, mom!" Just as Wu Jun wanted to continue blaming, a little girl in her teens came in at the door. Her name was Chen Lianshu, the only daughter of Chen Yan and Wu Jun. The girl was quiet and beautiful, but her eyes looked smart. She kept blocking her parents silently, making the quarrel unable to continue.

Chen Yu patted Chen Lianshu's little head indulgently, knowing that his daughter was helping him. Wu Jun smiled helplessly: "Look at you, spoil her daughter like that? I don't know who she can find in the future? You should also be more careful and prepare more dowry for Shu'er. If the dowry is less, the in-laws will look down on her."

Finally found the opportunity, Chen Yu could tell a few words: "Madam, isn't that what I think? I want to go out to do things early, but I didn't expect to meet my uncle and elder brother? Alas!"

After hearing this, Wu Jun was helpless: "It's true that they are all family members, why bother to be biased? My uncle himself is hard to protect himself, and I don't know when this family will be disbanded."

Since Sui'an Bo and Chen Shu are still alive, according to the rules of this era, the son and unmarried daughter are not allowed to move out alone. They have to wait until the prince, that is, Chen Wei, the eldest brother of Chen Wei, became Sui'an Bo, that other brothers had to move out and split up.

Chen Yu's status in the mansion is very low, even worse than that of several butlers with high positions. Therefore, he has always regarded Chen Yu as a senior servant in the mansion, and has not been able to arrange an errand outside like other brothers.

Chen Yu didn't care. He worked hard and worked diligently. Instead, he felt that he was very easy to use, so he was even more reluctant to release Chen Yu out of the Bo Mansion. However, in this way, Chen Yu himself became very disadvantaged. He didn't have much more money per month, and he was ordered casually. To be honest, it was better to separate the family. Relying on Wu Jun's parents' home, you can always have a well-off life, right?

But as soon as he heard this, Chen Song quickly stopped him: "Madam, don't talk nonsense, there are ears to the wall! That's my father's elder brother, good or bad, it's a family."

"Do we treat you as a family? Forget it, you will be a good person!"

"Why--!"

With his daughter in his arms, Chen Yu sighed in his heart. It was so bad to think of these days. He suddenly remembered that when he was young, he was sent to Jiangnan to manage the business for several years and managed the industry there. At that time, he had a crush on someone outside, and lived together secretly for several years, and had three lovely sons.

But later she was called back to the capital. She thought she would take them back later, but she didn't expect that her family arranged this marriage for her? Although she secretly sent someone to send money several times, Wu Jun was still noticed. After some quibbling, she finally got away with it. However, all the money around her was controlled by Wu Jun, so she could only let the mother and son fend for themselves...

Thinking of this, Chen Song couldn't help but shake his head again and again. His personality caused regrets again and again. However, when he lowered his head and saw his daughter's bright smile, he couldn't help but let go: "Forget it! Having a good daughter is enough!"

...

Luzon, named Manila by Spanish colonists.

The sea waves were rippling, and a Carac sailboat was ready for its sailing. And the old man walked side by side on the pier, and the old man was instructing: "Major Carlos, your mission this time is to prepare for the expedition, and it is the future of the kingdom. Your ship should disguise as a merchant ship, investigate the coast of the rich Eastern empire, and select a landing location for the upcoming expedition. And by the way, we go to Japan, hoping to recruit more mercenaries."

"Yes, Governor!"

Spanish colonists have long been coveting China. Seven or eight years ago, the then Governor of Manila, Sander, wrote to the king: "...This cause (referring to conquering China) is easy to implement and has less cost." He also began to actively investigate, analyze China's national conditions and people's conditions, and conduct reconnaissance on the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong and other places, familiarize themselves with the waterways and draw maps.

In his report, Sander also elaborated on his plan to invade China: "This expedition requires 4,000 to 6,000 people, equipped with spears, guns, ships, cannons and the ammunition required." "As of 2,000 to 3,000 people, it is enough to occupy the provinces to be occupied, and to form the largest power at sea with the ports and fleets there. It is very easy. After conquering a province, it is enough to conquer the whole country."

Spain at this time can be said to be at its peak. Under the rule of King Philip II, it annexed another European colonial power, Portugal's native land and colonies, with an territory of an astonishing 12 million square kilometers. In addition, the total number of the army and navy is as high as 400,000. Not only are there invincible fleets on the sea, but there are also a powerful army founded by the Duke of Gonzalo de Cordoba on the land, and represented by the Spanish phalanx.

The Duke of Cordoba is quite famous in Western military history, known as the great Gonzalo, the first epoch-making commander in the Firearms Age. And the Spanish Army he founded has dominated the European continent for a full 200 years!

And this is not a whim, and it is very detailed.

The head of the Spanish colonial government in Manila, the prominent church, senior officers and other well-known figures once held a Manila conference to discuss the issue of conquering China. The participants drafted a memorandum containing eleven ninety-seven items, led by the Philippine Governor and Bishop, and gathered 51 distinguished dignitaries to sign and report to the Spanish king.
