Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a manor in the Spanish Empire, several young nobles gathered together and talked about everything.

    "Alfred, tell everyone what the Ming Empire is like."

    Villa looked at this friend in front of him. Alfred was one of the students sent by Spain to study in the Ming Empire. He had just returned from the Ming Empire not long ago.

    At present, it has been highly regarded by the Spanish Emperor Charles V, and the future is bright.

    "Yes, I heard that the cities of the Ming Empire are extremely prosperous and lively. I really want to go to the Ming Empire for a walk, but I can't speak the Ming dialect."

    Yin Geer on the side was also full of curiosity.

    They have heard too much about the Ming Empire, and they have seen too many products from the Ming Empire with their own eyes. They have also been lucky enough to attend some dinners and cocktail parties attended by Ming people.

    No matter from which aspect, the Ming Empire seems to far surpass the Spanish Empire.

    Alfred took a sip of tea and said, "The tea from the Ming Dynasty is better. It's hard to buy really good tea in Europe."

    He gently put down the teacup. The young Alfred was similar to the Ming Dynasty. He had short hair and a clean shaven beard. The clothes he wore were also the style of the Ming Dynasty. They were very simple and not popular in Europe.  The aristocratic costumes are not only unsightly, but also very inconvenient.

    "How should I put it? There are too many places in the Ming Empire that our Spanish Empire should learn from. I don't know which aspect to talk about."

    "Then tell me about the emperor of the Ming Empire."

    Villa thought for a while and said.

    ¡°The emperor of the Ming Empire was very different from us in Spain.¡±

    "The Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to inheritance, especially the inheritance of its own surname. It is impossible for the throne of the Ming Empire to be passed on to people with other surnames like we do here in Europe."

    Alfredo said.

    "But what if you don't have a son?"

    Yin Geer said quickly after hearing this.

    "It can be passed on to the descendants of brothers, but it is absolutely impossible to pass it on to grandsons, because grandsons have the same surname. Therefore, the emperors in the Ming Empire definitely have the same surname. It is impossible to pass it on to grandsons like we do in Europe.  matter."

    "In addition, the Ming Empire attaches great importance to offspring. The emperors and nobles of the Ming Empire often have many women. If there are enough women, there will naturally be enough offspring."

    "Just like the current crown prince of the Ming Empire, he has more than 200 sons and more than 200 daughters."

    Alfred replied.

    "Oh God, more than 200 sons, more than 200 daughters?"

    When Yingor and Villa heard this, they were dumbfounded. This adds up to more than 400 descendants, which is too huge.

    "This is too much, right? How many women does he have?"

    Yin Geer was dumbfounded. This is too fertile. The key is that even if it is fertile, it can still be fed. This is the key point.

    Some monarchs in Europe are also very fertile, but there are not many offspring that can be raised to adulthood. Marriages between European nobles are common, often between cousins. Various aristocratic diseases are very common. One of the characteristics is that  Descendants are rare. Some noble titles are passed down, but no one can inherit them. There are no descendants.

    "The Prince of Ming Dynasty had many women, perhaps hundreds or even thousands. This is also the reason why he has many descendants."

    "The Ming Dynasty is different from us in Europe. They don't pay attention to blood. Many of the descendants of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty are mixed. Among them are mixed descendants of various tribes in the Ming Dynasty, and even mixed descendants of Eastern European Slavs.  The two daughters of the Grand Duke of Ryazan in Eastern Europe gave birth to six or seven children for the Ming Prince."

    "People in the Ming Dynasty believed that if close relatives got married, the offspring would be born with many diseases and defects. Therefore, the royal family and nobles of the Ming Dynasty rarely married cousins. This is why their nobles and royal families rarely have the same relationship as our European counterparts.  Due to some genetic diseases common among nobles and royal families.¡±

    Alfred introduced in detail the royal system and aristocratic marriages in the Ming Dynasty.

    ¡°But if this is the case, wouldn¡¯t it lead to the blood of common people flowing into the upper class?¡±

    Yin Geer thought for a while and said.

    "Yes, now the mother of the emperor of the Ming Empire is an ordinary person, and the people of the Ming Dynasty don't care about it."

    "What they pay more attention to is the surname, which is the most important thing."

    &nbsHe also wrote a very long letter to Charles V, and put forward many suggestions similar to those of the Ming Empire.

    He believes that if the Spanish Empire wants to become stronger, it must learn from the Ming Empire and establish a powerful centralized dynasty, a truly unified empire, and use the advantages of unity to gradually carry out reforms and become stronger.

    This point is deeply in line with the ideals and ambitions of the young Charles V, and is also deeply valued by Charles V.

    After listening to Alfred's words, Yingor and Villa were also shocked and speechless. Although they knew that the Ming Empire was very powerful, from all aspects, they did not know that the Ming Empire was powerful.  The empire is truly strong in those places.

    Now after listening to Alfred¡¯s words, they finally understood where the strength of the Ming Empire lies.

    "If our Spanish Empire wants to be as powerful as the Ming Empire, we must learn from the Ming Empire!"
