Perry, the American admiral, spoke nonsense and was caught on the spot, but he calmly said something to turn the situation around:

"Steam ships cannot do it today, but they may not be able to do it tomorrow. Although the Pacific route is time-consuming, ships can actually do it. And how is Fuso better than the Tang people?"

Perry said, "It doesn't matter if the steamship can't come in eighteen days, but if it doesn't work today, it doesn't mean it will never work. Since you know that there is a Pacific route, it won't be long before a large number of warships take this route. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty has opened a country and a port. You Fusang

Can you escape?"

After hearing Perry's words, everyone in Fuso was shocked, but fortunately the two "big names" in front of them had been aloof and did not respond to Mi Ren's words, so it was very easy to deal with them - just continue to pretend to be dumb.

"Come to Nagasaki next April or May to wait for the report. The matter will never be settled." Anyway, they were already at odds, so Perry continued to threaten, "If we don't give an explanation next year, this matter will never end."

Because the two "big names" had been unwilling to speak out, and Perry didn't say too many harsh words because of his scruples, the meeting ended hastily - Toda and Ido watched Perry finish his harsh words for a long time.

Without saying a word, he signaled to Kayamazaemon to quickly announce the end of the meeting. After the interpreter translated, Perry expressed his approval. The two adults stood up, bowed and fled away. The movements were as smooth as flowing clouds.

The entire formal meeting, from the time Perry took his seat to the end, took less than thirty minutes.

Perry and Miren saw the broad-sleeved Fuso noble running so fast, and while being amused, they also secretly warned, "You must be careful in this land battle. Although the Fuso man is not tall, he moves quickly and doesn't look good."

Deal with it."

Originally, Fuso had arranged some other activities - the two adults were gone, but Xiangshan was still there.

But what happened just now made Xiangshan alert, "Don't be too troublesome," so don't bring melons, fruits, pears, peaches, etc., just pack them up for Mi Ren to take away, and don't even show off the return gifts that Mr. Jiangchuan reminds you.

Yes, let the Mi people take it away directly.

So amidst the music of the shamisen, Xiangshan seemed to be urging him to stay, and sent Perry and his party outside the battle. However, Perry and his party were in a good mood after completing the task of submitting their credentials, and actually hung out at the Yokosuka Pier - said

It seems that Miren is also a veteran, and he has estimated that founding the country will not be so easy. Besides, the first step is victory when the certificate of credence is delivered. Besides, before Fuso, didn't we force the Naha Kingdom to trade, so we can't talk about this trip.

Nothing was found, the days are long, let’s wait and see.

Moreover, the Fuso people gave some fruits and gifts. Fortunately, the fruits were a good thing during a long voyage, so everyone had to wait for the fruits to be shipped on the ship before they could leave.

Just now, only Admiral Perry and Adjutant Adams were sitting and had tea - but they did not dare to move the tea in order to prevent accidents. The rest of the people stood upright, which was very hard, so after the meeting, Perry did not stop.

After restraining his subordinates, all the people who were not involved in transporting goods dispersed and wandered around the dock. Some even picked up shells and small stones and threw them into the sea. For a moment, it seemed that the guests and hosts were very harmonious.

Xiangshanzaemon secretly complained, but he could only accompany him with a smile on his face, but it would be awkward to chat awkwardly. After a few words, he was speechless. When he was anxious, he saw Fuso Medical Officer holding a medicine box.

Come forward.

If ordinary people had come forward, Xiangshan would have started scolding him, but this medical officer was not a simple person. He was brought by Lord Hai Phongjiangchuan. Xiangshan was just a small and powerful person. How could he dare to provoke a noble person to approach casually, so he only

Neng Gan watched, hoping that nothing would happen.

After the medical officer came forward, he announced in Lan language

It turns out that he came to see Perry for medical treatment.

Translator Portman raised his hand and was about to shoo him away, but Perry felt a little uncomfortable due to his agitated emotions just now, so he asked the doctor to diagnose him, but he had an extra thought. If this person asked him to eat some inexplicable food,

Things were driven away immediately - the name of Tianzhu Holy Water was widely spread at this time.

The doctor who came forward was Mr. Genpu Ito. Mr. Tanan was not in good health recently. Now the two of them have a good relationship, so Xuanpu also came to Uraga. As for coming to Yokosuka, it was a coincidence - because Mr. Egawa insisted on meeting.

A doctor must be present at all times, so Mr. Xuanpu does not have this important responsibility.

Mr. Egawa insisted on having a medical officer because he was not afraid of a fight on the spot. All the iron cannon ashigaru in Fuso were not loaded with black powder, and those who used swords and guns were also required to follow Toda's order.

"The reason why we have a medical officer here is because we are afraid that someone will suffer from heat stroke or sudden illness at the scene. If Mi Ren really gets sick and falls on the scene, then there will be no excuse. It will be unjust if this causes war in the future.

Besides, even if Mi Ren is not sick, wouldn’t he be able to pretend?

When Jiangchuan said this, several other coastal defense officers clapped their hands and praised him. Jiang was still the old one. This kind of thing must be guarded against. Medical officers must be deployed so that Mi Ren can't find any excuses.

Mr. Genpo Ito had studied orchid all his life, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Mi Ren, so the old man volunteered to come to Yokosuka - other medical officers could not hide, so Mr. Xuanpu successfully got his wish.

When he was in the "formation", he found Perry covering his chest with his hands many times, but he didn't dare to do anything at that time. Perry was still lingering on the dock. Mr. Xuanpu couldn't hold it in anymore. When he was studying medicine, Xibo

Mr. De is in good health and has never been sick. Therefore, although he has cured thousands of people so far, he has never cured a single Westerner, so he will start one today.

After Mr. Xuanpu's diagnosis, Admiral Perry had erythema on his face and often had a low fever. He had rheumatic fever, and his condition was not serious. He had already entered the stage of heart failure and colic.

Perry believed most of it when the interpreter said "rheumatic fever". After that, Dr. Fusang explained the condition accurately, so he believed it. But this is amazing, isn't it? Can he meet a good doctor when he comes to Fusang?

Although Ito Xuanpu could speak Lan, he always used Fuso except for greetings in Lan at first. Interpreter Horanosuke looked at Perry's disbelief and felt a little aggrieved for Mr. Xuanpu. He said in Lan, "Mr. Xuanpu is Fuso San."

"Great Miracle Doctor" - he automatically gave Mr. Xuanpu a grade, and removed the Edo and Orchid doctors. Anyway, the modifiers were not important. He didn't know that in the future, a divine translator would come out of Fuso, which would actually trigger the rise of the English and the Orchid.

The battle between the Satsuma Shimazu family.

Admiral Ren Perry has traveled thousands of miles, but the patient is naturally dwarfed in front of the doctor. When he heard the Fusang Interpreter's boast, he also put down his arrogance and seriously sought medical treatment. As a result, Mr.

Pills - There is no good solution for late-stage rheumatic fever in later generations, so we can only rely on nourishment.

After Perry got the medicine, he didn't dare to take it on the spot, but later he fell ill at sea. It was really unbearable at the time, so he took a pill just in case. He didn't know whether it was the placebo that worked or the medicine was really good.

The crisis was finally averted, so Perry sent someone to Edo to buy it. From then on, Fuso Jiuxin Pills became famous in the United States.

But these are all things for later. After Mr. Xuanpu saw Perry's illness, the fruits, gifts, etc. were all shipped away, and the boat returned to the dock. Kayama Zaemon put Perry and his party on the boat with tears in his eyes.

, "The gods and Buddhas bless me, my ancestors are virtuous, and this hurdle has finally passed."

This time, Kagawa was happy too early.

On the morning of June 9, the sixth year of Jiayong (July 14, 1853), the letters of credence were submitted, but in the afternoon Perry dealt another heavy blow - the "Mississippi" continued to lead the boat all the way north to explore the waters.

In order to stay on alert, the Uraga navy had been following the American black ships with small boats. However, the Mississippi was a steam-sail hybrid ship. The wind direction was wrong at the time, and the small boat could not keep up despite its desperate efforts, so it had to send the news back quickly.

So all the coast guards in Uraga were dumbfounded. These people are really unfaithful. Although they didn’t explain it when they submitted their credentials, they had already submitted their credentials. It’s time for you to leave. No one dared to do so this time.

Let’s stop talking about the nonsense of “when the grain, grass, food and water are exhausted, the rice boat will retreat”.

Poor Kayamazaemon and translator Horanosuke set out again, but Perry avoided seeing him - in fact, Perry was not on the Saskatchewan. He personally changed to the Mississippi and continued to survey Edo Bay.

Early in the morning of June 10th the next day, the sky was dark and Xiangshan arrived at the anchorage of the black ships early in the morning. Except for the "Mississippi", the three black ships were still staying near Uraga. But Perry did not come back, so

Xiangshan fell short again.

But according to reports from the boats tracking the Mississippi, the Mississippi had reached as far as Kawasaki. In order to track down the black ships, the Uraga navy sent out all the 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, Kawasaki, and beyond Kawasaki is Edo's Shinagawa Port. This incident was so big that the eight coastal defense officers and two chief officers and officers were all shocked when they heard about it.

On June 11, Xiangshan negotiated again before meeting Perry. After the meeting, Xiangshan sternly condemned Perry's behavior. At this time, four black ships had arrived at Ape Island near the mouth of the bay - Perry named the island "Pei".

"Li Island", he met Xiangshan on Perry Island.

Perry turned a blind eye to Xiangshan's anger. He claimed that he had "no malice". At this time, Perry was already very sure that Edo was Fuso's "Achilles' heel". However, firstly, he was afraid of the cannon purchased by Fuso from Lan Guo.

The four black ships were a bit weak. In addition, there was great chaos in the Tang Dynasty. When Perry set out, he promised to go back in time to protect the rice merchants and expatriates, so it was not a good time to take action at this time.

Perry explained to Kyoyama Zaemon that this was just a "harmless game" to remind Fuso that "next year's reply to the credentials should be solemn and prudent." In the end, Kyoyama had no choice but to swallow his words and promise.

I will definitely report it to the shogunate again.

A lesson learned. This time Perry didn't believe anything Xiangshan said. He insisted on following Perry. When Perry was on Ape Island, he was on Ape Island. When Perry returned to the Saskatchewan at night, he

He also tried to board the Saskatchewan. Perry, the American admiral, refused to allow Xiangshan to board the ship, so Xiangshan stayed on the Fuso boat. Perry was amused and was also afraid that something might happen to the boat at night, so he had to let Xiangshan and his interpreter board.

Boat.

After a night, it finally arrived on June 12, the sixth year of Kaei in the Japanese calendar, and July 17, 1853 in the Western calendar. On this day, there was no strong wind in the inner sea of ​​Edo Bay. Two steamships escorted two sailing ships and slowly left Uraga.

waterway, heading all the way to the southeast.

Xiangshan was on the boat, and the coastal defense officials watched the four black ships leave with clairvoyance on the shore. At this point, the first black ship visit was completely completed, and everyone involved was exhausted and fascinated by the torment.
