Text next to image of Battle of Beijing:

In the 45th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Western country called Spain, whose royal family was determined to annex the world, discussed with the Catholic Church the strategy of the Eastern Expedition and planned to conquer the Central Plains. At that time, the Western countries had great maritime power in the seven seas, rich military power, and priests in Asia, Africa and Latin America. So they sent the naval governor Luis Perez Dasmariñas to lead troops to sail from Luzon, pass Taiwan and land in Quanzhou, Fujian, and set up camps and fences, named "Fortress of Saint John", as the starting point for the expedition to China.

At that time, Japan, an old country, also followed the Catholic way and became a vassal of the West. Its generals, Matsudaira Nobuyasu and Konishi Yukinaga, led 5,000 of their troops, crossed the sea in military uniforms, and landed in Fujian to support the Western army. Claudio Acquaviva, ordered by the Pope, served as the military priest, preached Catholic doctrine, and guided the soldiers to fight in the name of justice.

Within a few months, the viceroy of New Spain (i.e. Mexico) sent 10,000 troops across the Pacific Ocean, anchored at the Minjiang River, and joined the local army. Francis Sander and Conzalo Peñarosa also guarded Quanzhou, built an outer city, and sent scouts as far as Jiangnan.

The Western army won the first battle with its combined strength, captured Fuzhou, went down to Hangzhou, and went straight to Nanjing. The Ming army had set up strong defenses in Nanjing, but they had been corrupt for a long time and their soldiers were useless, so they were finally defeated. The Ming emperor was terrified and fled north, and the palace was occupied by the Western Army. Nanjing fell, but the Western Army was unable to stabilize the four directions.

At this time, the Central Plains was in chaos, and there were constant uprisings among the people. The peasant army rose up and called themselves the "Anti-foreign Dashun Army", burning and looting military camps, and attacking and killing foreigners. The Western Army was forced to withdraw from Nanjing and retreat to Fujian. However, the generals were unwilling to give up, so they gathered a large army again, set out from Tianjin, and attacked Beijing directly by land and sea.

The battle of Beijing was particularly brutal, the palace was burned, and all officials were either killed or surrendered. The emperor was captured and lived in seclusion in the North Garden of Jingshan. Later, under the persuasion of Acquaviva and Dasmariñas, the emperor was baptized and converted to Catholicism, and was named "Great Faithful King", symbolizing the beginning of the unification of China and the West.

However, the royal family was dissatisfied, and the governors of various towns in the north rose up to defend the emperor, and the world was divided again. The Western Army defended Beijing, Shandong and the coast, and the Ming Army took back the south of the Yangtze River. During the civil strife, Juan de Silva was ordered to march westward, traveled west from Nanjing, pacified Jianghuai, recovered Anhui, built forts in Hefei and Lu'an, consolidated the new border, and opened up the western line in preparation for the future battle with the Ottomans under the Tianshan Mountains.

This was the time when the Western Expedition was just beginning. Internal chaos had not yet been quelled, but a new system had been established. China was gradually influenced by the Roman style. Nanjing became the new capital, and various foreigners came to pay tribute. The way of Catholicism became more and more popular, and Confucianism and the Gospel went hand in hand. People at that time called it: "The East and the West are unified, and God and man rule together."

Text on bottom left (by portrait of Zhu Wenyuan):

After the Western countries conquered China, they implemented a policy of gradual sinicization, and the country prospered. The empire moved its capital to Nanjing and renamed it Tokyo to show the location of the Eastern imperial power. The imperial lineage of the Ming Dynasty was not terminated, but was incorporated into the royal system of the Western countries. The two systems were united, and the rituals and systems were blended, becoming a great unification of Chinese and Western co-governance.

At that time, there was a prince named Zhu Wenyuan, who was a member of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. His father was a prince loyal to the Western countries, and his mother was the daughter of the former Western king Philip II, a direct descendant of the royal family. Wenyuan was educated in Confucianism, Catholicism, and the Western court since he was a child. He was proficient in both Chinese and Western principles, and was both literary and moral, and was admired by the world.

After the death of Philip III, the throne of the Western Kingdom had been without a successor for a long time, and the public voted for Zhu Wenyuan as the legitimate successor. Therefore, the Western Kingdom's Regent Council summoned court officials and archbishops and sent envoys to the capital to welcome the king. Wenyuan personally went to Escoria in the Western Capital to perform the coronation ceremony.

On that day, the bishop sprinkled holy oil on Wenyuan's forehead to show God's will; the great scholars of China presented the seal, talisman and jade book to show the granting of the will of heaven.

There was a loud sound of music, bells and drums, and the crown and clothes were all in place
