Within a few days, the Crown Prince Zhu Hezhen of the Superintendent returned to Japan, and the news of the recapture of Xiaguan without a single shot shocked the entire Japan.

Without surprise, this incident brought unprecedented impact to the Qing Dynasty, the shogunate who had lost territory, or the semi-independent external daimyos.

Many people even believe that the shogunate has reached its most dangerous moment!

If there is no such thing as the shogunate, the shogunate will even die!

The shogunate has never been worried about the growth of the "Anti-Shog faction", because the power of the "Anti-Shog faction" is dispersed, compared with the "Anti-Shog faction", the threat of the barbarians is imminent.

But now, the arrival of the crown prince of the regent made the shogunate realize that the most dangerous moment has come.

Because the crown prince of the governor not only has great righteousness, but also has a large army!

The army...the army from the Ming Dynasty!

Just as the shogunate speculated, there were tens of thousands of Damingtian troops who arrived at Xiaguan with the crown prince of the regent. No, they are now the personal guards of the crown prince.

"The Han army is invincible!"

Over the past years, similar words have spread throughout Japan. The Japanese have long been looking forward to the army of the Celestial Empire. They are looking forward to the arrival of the Celestial Empire, looking forward to the Celestial Empire's army repelling the captives and saving the people from water and fire.

Now, the army of the Celestial Empire has finally arrived!

So the shogunate immediately sent Tadao Abe, the famous "Chongming Meiju" in Japan.

In recent years, the situation in Japan has changed again and again, and it has even become a bit shocking. After the Emperor married into China, the barbarians invaded and occupied a large area of ​​land, and internal chaos in Japan. The external vassal lord Daming and the shogunate were disunited. Daming competed for power and merged with each other, and the prestige of the shogunate was greatly reduced.

It was at this time that a new political group, "the big party" appeared in Japan. Because its members insisted on "the big party" and adopted a position of being close to and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain state, they were called "the big party".

Tadao Abe is the most prominent person among the "big party". In fact, many big parties insist on doing big things, but they hope to use the hands of the Celestial Empire to solve the "brutal captives". The Japanese themselves... they really can't do it.

Now, the long-awaited army of the Celestial Empire has finally arrived. For Abe Tadaoqiu and others, they only hope that the Daming Tianjun can deal with the Huhu as soon as possible and drive the Huhuhu into the sea with a destructive and destructive force.

Then...and then, then, then.

On May 16th, the old shogunate, Abe Tadaki and his party finally arrived at Xiaguan.

Zhu Hezhen naturally needs to make careful arrangements for the arrival of this leader of the "major party".

The place where Abe Tadaki Abe was entertained was not the mansion in the city, but the "Chunfan Tower" facing the Mamen Strait. Chunfan Tower is a restaurant famous for selling puffer fish. It is named after the crowds of thousands of merchants and the number of spring sails on the sea.

In fact, the reason why I chose this restaurant is simple, it is because of the puffer fish here.

The Chunfan Building is fully equipped with paper lanterns hanging above the hall, and it looks even more solemn under the dim light. Tadao Abe kneeled on the ground and said emotionally.

"Your Highness, I have been hoping that your Highness will return to Japan for many years. Today, your Highness will return to Japan, which is a blessing for all the people of Japan! When I set out from Edo, everyone in the world cheered. With Your Highness here, the barbarians will definitely escape when they see the wind and save the people from water and fire..."

Facing Abe Tadaki's flattery, Zhu Hezhen immediately replied with a tough attitude:

"Old Jung-Cheng, when I was in Nanjing a few years ago, I had already talked with you. At that time, you promised to reform the shogunate affairs and to do your best to promote the reform and repel the barbarians. But why, until now, the barbarians still occupy my land and serve my people."

The reprimand of the crown prince made Tadaki Abe feel embarrassed.

"My minister is humble and has little power. He is really unable to change his customs and cannot change with each passing day like the Celestial Empire. Now that your highness returns to Japan, Japan will definitely strive to cheer up under the guidance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhu Hezhen will naturally not scold him anymore. Besides, the other party is an important figure in the party, and Zhu Hezhen still needs such a "party" to establish his rule in Japan.

"Abe, I know your loyalty to the royal family. This time, when I returned to Japan and saw those people who were enslaved under the rule of Jiannu, I was really in a heavy mood!"

Then, Zhu Hezhen comforted him with kind words and then said.

"Abe, when I was in Nanjing, I heard people mention that Japanese people like to eat puffer fish the most, and this place is famous for its puffer fish dishes..."

Looking around the "Chunfan Tower", which is famous for making puffer fish, Zhu Hezhen suddenly had another thought in his heart. Why did his father know this place?

no way.

Who made this small "Chunfan Building" so famous in another world?

The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in this building. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Guoqiang has been obsessed with this "Chunfan Building".

It is precisely because of his grudges that Zhu Guoqiang reminded his son that there is a "Chunfan Tower" here, which is "famous for puffer fish cuisine" and you can try it.

No, you can ask the Japanese to try it.

Japanese people have always been famous for their love for puffer fish dishes?

The puffer fish meat is rich and beautiful, fresh and delicious. Japanese dignitaries all like to eat puffer fish. Although the fish is indeed highly toxic, Japan has formed a set of methods to cook puffer fish. After it is cooked, some people will try it first, which can basically ensure safety.

Most of the people who eat puffer fish to death are family and inexperienced taverns.

Pufferfish is a famous dish that has been popular in Xiaguan for hundreds of years. It is a normal operation to invite Abe to eat pufferfish now.

OK!

The Ming Dynasty has prepared a puffer fish meal for you.

Do you eat this dish?

A long-standing master like Tadao Abe, naturally could experience a lot of inner meaning from this pufferfish. He immediately understood why His Highness invited him to eat pufferfish.

Tadaosaki Sakai used "puffer fish" to describe the shogunate "respecting kings and expelling barbarians", which meant to remove the "poison" and eat the meat into his mouth.

Now your Highness invites him to eat puffer fish!

Why don’t the chef come here to try the puffer fish dishes today?

Doesn’t this mean that at this moment, various thoughts emerged in Abe’s mind. He even thought of death.

It seems that Your Highness has already mastered that matter, so he invited himself to eat puffer fish.

Thinking of this, a "legend" related to the Jinyiwei appeared in my mind.

Thinking that the fish was not tried by the chef, Abe Tadaki couldn't help but sweat amid the back, and he hurriedly leaned back and said, "I knelt down again."

"Your Highness, I will die!"

“Huh?”

Looking at Abe Tadaki who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Hezhen said with a smile.

"Why did you kneel down again?"

Japanese people are really used to being slaves, and they kneel down like this at any time. Alas, let's get there, since they like to kneel, then keep kneeling.

"I am guilty of death!"

"capital offense?"

Zhu Hezhen said with a smile.

"If Gu was really a petty person, I'm afraid you would have died long ago. Get up, it's all the past, so Gu will not mention it anymore. Just do your best to do your best in the future."

After asking him to get up, Zhu Hezhen said again.

"Come on, eat fish."

He personally picked up a piece of fish for Abe, Zhu Hezhen said.

"Although puffer fish is delicious, eating it always requires some courage. How many people in this world dare to risk their lives to eat puffer fish?"

Suddenly, Zhu Hezhen put away his smile, looked at Abe and said seriously.

"Do you have the courage to eat this fish?"

The words of the Crown Prince made a cold sweat appear on Abe's back. Now, there was only one thought left in his mind, which was to say to the Crown Prince.

"My loyalty to the crown prince can express the sun and the moon."

Unfortunately, now is not the time to say these words, because Abe knows that the Crown Prince asked him this.

In fact, I just want to ask how much loyalty he is, how to express this loyalty?

Looking at the fish on the plate, Abe's heart was very shadowy at this moment.

It was not until this time that he understood what it means to be a companion, and he was like a companion tiger.

But no matter what... this fish is worth eating!
