In Kaohsiung Harbor, warships are waiting in formation, like a giant beast entrenched on the water.

On the shore, the flags are unfurled, and the soldiers are arrayed, which is also majestic.

Li Zhen came to the port under the escort of Zheng Zaoru, Su Lei and others. Zheng Zaoru and Su Lei looked at Li Zhen with reluctant expressions, both of them marched and fought with Li Zhen's side, but now they want to stay. Although both of them have been given important responsibilities, they are really reluctant to part when they are really facing parting.

Li Zhen patted Su Lei on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"Yes!"

Su Lei raised his head and chest, straightened his body and saluted.

Li Zhen looked at Zheng Zaoru again and said, "Mr. Zheng, the heavy responsibility of governing Taiwan falls on your shoulders. I hope you will work diligently and govern Taiwan well. I also hope that the next time you see me, you will pat your chest and say that you have built Taiwan well. ”

Zheng Zaoru said: "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission!" ”

Li Zhen turned to leave and headed for the warship.

"Stand upright!"

When Li Zhen strode forward, Su Lei shouted. He stared at Li Zhen with a serious expression, raised his head and chest, and his body seemed to be standing upright with ease.

"Bang! Cha! Cha!! ”

Behind Su Lei, the sound of footsteps moving instantly sounded.

The soldiers all stood in line, their heads held high, their eyes shining with perseverance. The faces full of vigor and firepower made Li Zhen, who heard the voice and turned around, feel very pleased. This army, indeed, is a team with vitality and even combat effectiveness, and it will not let him down.

"Salute!"

Su Lei raised his hand and saluted and shouted.

"Brush! Brush!! ”

A neat voice came, and the soldiers raised their hands and saluted.

Li Zhen looked at the neat procession, as well as the piety and reverence that appeared in the eyes of the soldiers, and his heart was even more moved, and he felt sour in his eyes. He straightened up, gave a standard military salute to all the soldiers, then turned his head and strode onto the warship, never glancing at the soldiers under the battleship again.

Looking at these lovely soldiers again, he can't hold back his tears and can't calmly face the soldiers stationed in Taiwan.

"Toot! Honk!! ”

Above the battleship, a voice sounded.

A moment later, one by one, the battleships began to set sail, and the huge shadow came into Zheng Zaoru's eyes, making Zheng Zaoru unable to calm down for a long time. At this moment, Zheng Zaoru was extremely excited, reluctant, and longing for the future. Zheng Zaoru looked at the direction in which Li Zhen's warship was going, and secretly vowed that he would definitely develop Taiwan well and live up to Li Zhen's expectations.

……

Kyoto, Japan.

In the palace, inside a large and empty room. A middle-aged man in his early thirties sits on his knees, with his hands on his knees, sitting upright. This middle-aged man is the current Emperor of Japan, Emperor Komei, and opposite Emperor Komei, there is still an old man sitting. This old man is the minister of the clan An Ren who once went to Nanjing.

Xiaoming said: "Uncle Huang, what is the result of this trip? ”

An Ren nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "This trip has successfully completed the task, and in a few days, Li Zhen will arrive in Japan." However, the premise of befriending Li Zhen is to be able to encircle Li Zhen. The old minister dared to ask the emperor to marry the eldest princess of the imperial family to Li Zhen, form a good marriage, and help each other. ”

"Ahh

Emperor Xiaoming exclaimed in surprise and said, "How did you become our married woman?" ”

An Ren took a deep breath and said unhurriedly: "Emperor, things are difficult, and we have to do this. Once we are married to Li Zhen, even if Li Zhen does not send troops to help us, we can still use Li Zhen's name to do things. It is believed that the emperor had already received a letter from Li Zhen to the Nation. Li Zhen is so strong, and we, as Li Zhen's in-laws, believe that many other countries will not dare to infringe on us, and this is what I want to achieve. ”

After a pause, An Ren continued: "We have the opportunity to recuperate, and then with the help of foreigners' technology, we can learn from Li Zhen the way to strengthen the country, enhance our strength as soon as possible, and defend the country." It is not surprising that a woman has been given the long-term peace and stability of the country in exchange for it, but it is not long either. Think about it, in the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang's descendants relied on the stability brought by women and relatives, and then waited for the national strength to be strong, and then counterattacked in one fell swoop. This was the case not only in the Han Dynasty, but also in the Tang Dynasty and other dynasties. Now, we let the eldest princess marry for the sake of the country and the future development of the country. Therefore, please do not neglect the important affairs of the state out of the way of family affection. Everything must be for the sake of the country. ”

After Emperor Xiaoming heard this, the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

These words made him unable to object. However, Emperor Xiaomei did not want his sister to marry. Emperor Xiaoming rolled his eyes, and said with a little apprehension: "Uncle Huang, there is only one sister, I am really reluctant." I remember that the royal family also has a princess 'and palace', she has not been married so far, how about letting him marry? ”

"Wanomiya!"

After hearing this, An Ren thought about it carefully.

Immediately, An Ren shook his head and said: "Emperor, the appearance of the palace is mediocre, and the height is very short, Li Zhen will definitely not look down on him." If you let the palace go, things will definitely be messed up.

Historically, Wanomiya was the posthumous son of Emperor Hyomei's father, Emperor Hitotaka, before his death. When he was 15 years old (1861), Emperor Komei married Tokugawa Ieshige, the shogunate at the time, and wanted to entrap Tokugawa Ieshige. Unfortunately, in a short period of time, Tokugawa Ieshige died, and Emperor Komei also died one after another, and the palace was widowed young.

In later generations, the bones of Hegong have been excavated by archaeology, and it is inferred from the bones of Hegong that the height of Hegong before his death was 143 cm, and the physical muscles were restored, etc., the weight was about 34 kilograms, and the pelvis of Hegong was much narrower than that of normal women.

With such a woman's participation, An Ren would definitely not agree.

An Ren wants to please Li Zhen, so he must be able to enter Li Zhen's eyes, and she is by no means a very ordinary woman. Emperor Xiaoming touched his mustache and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Huang, I am reluctant to be kind to the 'Heart Palace', he is my only sister. If he marries Li Zhen, won't he send the imperial sister into the tiger's mouth? ”

Shinnomiya is the sister of the Emperor of Japan.

"Emperor, is the imperial family more important or the eldest princess? You'll see. ”

An Ren sighed, feeling helpless. After a pause, An Ren continued: "The recent actions of the Fallen Curtain Sect are busy fanning the flames, and our situation is unfavorable! In addition, Takasugi Shinsaku, a disciple of Yoshida Shoin, also contacted Li Zhen and wanted to invite Li Zhen to teach their people. Emperor, the matter is urgent, and we cannot delay it any longer. ”

When Emperor Xiaoming heard the intervention of the people from the Fallen Curtain Sect, his heart suddenly became anxious.

He didn't even think about it, so he directly agreed. In the face of the country's interests, Emperor Xiaomei could not refuse, and it was impossible to refuse. In particular, the country is facing internal and external troubles, which make Emperor Xiaoming feel helpless. He felt extremely tired all of a sudden, so he directly abandoned An Ren and walked towards the backyard of the palace to convey the news.
