Commander Perry of the Rice people opened his mouth and was caught on the spot, but he unhurriedly said something to turn the situation around:

"Steam ships can't do it today, and they can't do it tomorrow. Although the Pacific route is time-consuming, the ship can reach it. And how is Fusang better than the Tang people? ”

Perry said, "It doesn't matter if the steam ship doesn't come for eighteen days, but if it doesn't work today, it doesn't mean it won't work forever." Now that you know that there is a Pacific route, it will not be long before a large number of warships take this route. And the Tang people have opened up the country and opened the port, can you Fusang escape? ”

Hearing Perry's words, Fuso's hearts shook, but fortunately, the first two "daimyos" had been cold and did not answer Mi Ren's words, so it was very simple to deal with - just continue to pretend to be dumb.

"If you come to Nagasaki in April or May next year, you will not be able to get along." Anyway, he has already torn his face, and Perry continued to threaten, "If you don't give an explanation next year, this thing is not played." ”

Because the two "daimyos" have been reluctant to speak out, and Perry didn't say too many cruel words because of some scruples, this meeting ended hastily - Toda and Ido saw that Perry was silent for a long time after saying cruel words, so they signaled Kayama Saemon to quickly announce the end of the meeting, and after the translation and translation, Perry expressed his approval, and the two adults stood up, bowed and slipped away, a set of ~ actions like a cloud of peers.

The entire official meeting lasted less than thirty minutes from the time Perry was seated to the time it ended.

Perry and Mi Ren saw the Fusang nobleman with wide sleeves running so fast, and they were amused and secretly vigilant, "You must be cautious in this land battle, although the Fuso people are not tall, they move quickly, and they don't look easy to deal with." ”

Originally, Fusang also arranged some other activities here - the two adults are gone, and Xiangshan is still there.

But what happened just now made Xiangshan also vigilant, "Don't be too troublesome", so don't bring any melons, fruits, pears and peaches, etc., and pack them all for the rice people to take away, and even the return gift reminded by Lord Jiang Chuan should not be demonstrated, and let the rice people take it away directly.

So in the music of the shamisen, Xiangshan seemed to be urging to send Perry and his party to the outside of the battle, but Perry and his party were in a good mood after completing the task of submitting the credentials, and they actually lingered at the Yokosuka Pier - speaking of which, the rice people are also veterans, and they also have some estimates that the founding of the country is not so easy, and besides, the delivery of the credentials is even the first victory. Besides, before Fuso, didn't we force the Naha Kingdom to trade, so we can't say that we have gained nothing from this trip, and the days are long, let's see.

Moreover, the people of Fuso gave some fruits and gifts, and the gifts were good for the voyage, so everyone had to wait for the fruits to be transported on the ship before leaving.

Just now, only Admiral Perry and Adjutant Adams were sitting and had tea - but the two did not dare to move in order to prevent accidents, and the rest of the rice people stood upright, which was very hard, so after the meeting, Perry no longer restrained his subordinates, and the rice people who were not involved in the transportation of goods were scattered and wandered around the dock, and some even picked up shells and small stones and threw them to the sea, which seemed to be very harmonious for a while.

Kayama Saemon secretly complained in his heart, but he could only accompany him with a smile on his face, but the awkward chat must be embarrassing, and he had nothing to say after saying a few words, and when he was in a hurry, he saw the Fuso medical officer come forward with a medicine box.

If ordinary people had moved forward, Xiangshan would have started to scold him a long time ago, but this medical officer is not simple, he was brought by Lord Jiangchuan in Haiphong, Xiangshan is just a small force, where dare to provoke the nobles' side at will, so he can only watch dryly, hoping that something will happen.

After the medical officer stepped forward, he reported it in Lan

It turns out that he came to see Perry.

Interpreter Portman raised his hand to drive him away, but Perry did feel a little uncomfortable with his emotions just now, so he asked the doctor to come in and diagnose him, but he had an extra mind, if this person asked him to eat something inexplicable, he would immediately drive him away - the name of Tianzhu Holy Water was widely spread at this time.

The doctor who came forward was Mr. Ito Genpo, Mr. Tanan has been in poor health recently, and now the two of them have a good relationship, so Hyun Pu also came to Uraga with him, and as for Yokosuka, it was a coincidence - because Mr. Egawa insisted that a doctor must be present at the meeting, so Mr. Genpo had this important responsibility.

Mr. Egawa's insistence on equipping a medical officer is not for fear of fighting on the spot, all the iron cannons on Fuso's side are not loaded with black medicine, and the knives and guns are also required to "scold and fight back" without Uraga following Toda's order, and this medical officer is afraid that someone at the scene will suffer from heat stroke or sudden illness - Mi Ren really fell ill and fell on the scene, that is a hundred words, and it will be even more unjust to cause a war because of this in the future.

Besides, even if the rice people are not sick, won't they pretend?

Jiang Chuan said this, and several other coastal defense hangers all applauded, Jiang is still old and spicy, this kind of thing is really unguarded, it must be equipped with medical officers, and it is necessary to make it impossible for the rice people to find any excuses.

Mr. Ito Xuanpu has studied Lanxue all his life, and he also wants to take this opportunity to meet the rice people, so the old man volunteered to come to Yokosuka - other medical officers can't hide yet, and Mr. Xuanpu successfully gets his wish.

He found Perry covering his chest with his hands many times in the "array", but he didn't dare to do much at that time, at this time Perry was still staying on the dock, and Mr. Xuanpu couldn't hold it anymore - when he was studying medicine, Mr. Siebold was in good health and had never been sick, so although he had healed thousands of people so far, he had not cured a Westerner, and he opened it today.

After Mr. Hyun Pu's diagnosis, Admiral Perry had erythema on his face and often had a low-grade fever, which was rheumatic fever, and his condition was not mild, and he had begun to enter the stage of heart failure and colic.

Perry believed most of the "rheumatic fever" when he heard the translation, and then Dr. Fusang said that the condition was not bad, and he believed it, but this is too magical, right, can you meet a good doctor when you come to Fuso?

Although Ito Genpu knows Lan, he always uses Fuso dialect except for the beginning of greeting in Lan, and the interpreter Tatsunosuke sees that Perry doesn't believe it and is a little unhappy for Mr. Xuanpu, and he says in Lan, "Mr. Xuanpu is the three great divine doctors of Fuso" - he automatically gave birth to Mr. Xuanpu, and removed Edo and Lanyi, anyway, the modifier is not important. He didn't know that in the future, Fuso had a divine translator, which actually caused a big war between the English and the Satsuma Shimazu family.

Admiral Ren Perry traveled thousands of miles, but the patient was naturally short in front of the doctor, and then heard Fusang Tongyi boast like this, he also put down his shelf and seriously sought medical treatment, and the result was that Mr. Xuan Pu gave him a bottle of heart-saving pills that treated the symptoms but not the root cause - there was no good way for late rheumatic fever to the future generations, so he could only rely on nourishment.

Perry didn't dare to take it on the spot after getting the medicine, but then he fell ill at sea, and it was really unbearable at the time, so he took a pill with the idea of just in case, and he didn't know if the placebo worked or the medicine was really good, so Perry specially asked someone to buy it in Edo, and since then Fuso Heart Pill has been famous in the United States.

But these are all afterwords, after Mr. Xuan Pu saw Perry's illness, the fruits, gifts and other things were transported away, and the boat returned to the dock, and Kayama Saemon sent Perry and his party onto the boat with tears in his eyes, "The gods and Buddhas bless, the ancestors are virtuous, this pass has finally passed." ”

This time Kagawa was happy too soon.

On the morning of June 9, 1853 (July 14, 1853), Perry delivered another blow in the afternoon - the "Mississippi" continued to survey the waters with the boat all the way north.

In order to maintain vigilance, the Uraga Navy has always had small boats to follow the black ship of the United States, but the "Mississippi" is a steam sail hybrid ship, and the wind direction was not right at that time, and the boat was desperate and couldn't keep up, so it had to send the news back quickly.

So all the coastal defenses in Uraga are stupid, this rice man is really not trustworthy, although he did not explain it when he submitted the credentials, but the credentials were submitted, shouldn't you go. This time, no one dared to say anything more about "the grain, grass, diet, and water are exhausted, and the rice boat will retreat by itself".

Poor Kayama Saemon and the translator Tatsunosuke Hori set off again, but Perry avoided it - in fact, Perry was not on the Saskana, and he personally changed to the "Mississippi" to continue measuring Edo Bay.

Early in the morning of the next day, June 10, the sky was overcast, and Xiangshan arrived at the anchorage of the black ship early in the morning—except for the "Mississippi", the three black ships were still staying near Uraga. But Perry didn't come back, so Fragrant Hill pounced again.

However, according to the reports of the small ships tracking the "Mississippi", the "Mississippi" had reached as far as Kawasaki - the Uraga Navy sent all the ships out to track the black ships, so the information was much smoother.

Uraga is at the gate of Edo Bay, and the west coast of the Inland Sea is Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Kawasaki, and Kawasaki is Shinagawa Port in Edo before that.

On June 11, Xiangshan negotiated again and met Perry. After the meeting, Xiangshan sternly condemned Perry's actions, and by this time the four black ships had arrived at Sarushima Island near the mouth of the bay, which Perry named "Perry Island", and he met Xiangshan on Perry Island.

Perry turned a blind eye to Xiangshan's anger, he claimed to have "no malice", at this time Perry was already very sure that Edo was Fuso's "Achilles Heel", but first, he was afraid of the cannons that Fuso purchased from the Lan Kingdom, second, the four black ships were a little weak, and the Tang country was in turmoil at this time, and Perry promised to go back in time to protect the rice merchants and expatriates when he set out, so this was not a good time to do it.

Perry explained to Kayama Saemon that this was just a "harmless game", in order to remind Fuso to "be solemn and cautious in his reply to the letter of state next year", and that Kayama had no choice but to swallow his anger and promise to solemnly report to the shogunate.

Eat a trench and grow wise, this time Perry said that Xiangshan didn't believe anything, he had to follow Perry to act, Perry was on Ape Island, he was on Ape Island, Perry returned to the Saskana at night, and he also tried to board the Saskana. The Mi Admiral Perry refused to board the ship, and Xiangshan stayed on the Fusang boat and did not leave, and Perry was amused but also afraid that the boat would have an accident at night, so he had to let Xiangshan and the interpreter board the ship.

After one night, it was finally the 12th day of the sixth month of the 6th year of Kaei in the Japanese calendar, and on July 17, 1853 in the Western calendar, there was no strong wind in the inland sea of Edo Bay, and two steam ships escorted the two sailboats slowly left the Uraga waterway and sailed all the way to the southeast.

Xiangshan sent the four black boats away with clairvoyance on the shore on the small boat, and the first black boat visit was completely over, and everyone involved was exhausted and fascinated by the toss.

But like a stone being thrown into the water, the black ship was gone, but the ripples it caused continued to spread, from Edo to all parts of Fuso, and eventually caused a huge storm!
