The luncheon was a land and sea meal carefully prepared by Qiao Qiao.
Affected by the Kuroshio, the Ryukyu area is very rich in fishery resources. Several speedboats patrolling last night brought back a variety of seafood with trawl nets. The police officers selected the best ones and presented them to Mr. Zhao. Then, with Qiaoqiao's skillful cooking, it turned into tempting seafood delicacies such as fried conch in sauce, shrimp sashimi, steamed grouper, sea salt baked crab, and yellow croaker soup.
Together with the roasted rabbit and whole lamb made from the black rabbits and goats that the police caught in the mountains and forests, it was a sumptuous meal.
The father and son of the Zheng family had eaten it before, but they did not expect that Mr. Zhao¡¯s chef could cook common seafood and game to a delicious and amazing taste. I can¡¯t help but praise him repeatedly, Daming¡¯s chefs are extraordinary.
When Mr. Zhao told them that the person who cooked this table of delicacies was one of his fianc¨¦es, the father and son were even more flattered, and they felt more clearly that Mr. Zhao valued them.
" Moreover, Shang Hongde, who also came to work with the army, was not invited to the banquet, which made Mr. Zhao's closeness even more obvious.

During the dinner, in addition to winning over the father and son and giving them reassurance, Zhao Hao also told them some reasons, so that the father and son could view Ryukyu, Ryukyu, Ming Dynasty, and Japan from a higher perspective. relation.
Zhao Hao told them that Ryukyu is an important node of the Golden Route, but it is undefeable, so once Japan is unified, it will become a must-win for them.
Of course, with Jiangnan Group here, this kind of thing would not happen. But what if we look further out to a hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer? Does Jiangnan Group still exist? It's hard for anyone to say.
Therefore, the only way is to make Ryukyu stronger and become immune to Japanese poison so that they can never conquer Ryukyu. Therefore, the future responsibility of them and the Kumi clan is to protect this place for the Ming Dynasty. It took decades to turn Ryukyu upside down in every sense and truly integrate it with the Ming Dynasty.
"Ryukyu can only establish a real flesh-and-blood relationship with the Ming Dynasty. If something happens in the future, how can the court not save them? As it is now, if they just ask for it in different ways and just want to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty, something will really happen in the future. When rescue is needed, there will definitely be a lot of noise in the court." Mr. Zhao carefully handled the salt-baked crabs in front of him and said with a smile: "Perhaps Emperor Taizu sent your ancestors eastward just to have such a day. Bar."
The mission of blessing the halo of ancestors suddenly became sacred.
In fact, it¡¯s crazy to say that Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in overseas territories, but isn¡¯t history shaped by necessity? Mr. Zhao now needs Lao Zhu to be interested in overseas territories, and he will become more and more interested At least the overseas Ming people will think so.
"As for the court's reaction, you don't have to worry about it. I will take care of it myself." Mr. Zhao reassured them: "But to be sure, the tribute must be suspended for one year. After one year, that is, at this time next year, then If you help the Ryukyu natives, you will really make heaven and earth unavailable, and the earth and the earth will not respond."
"Don't worry, Sir, we are responsible for the tribute mission." Zheng Zhaozuo expressed his position hurriedly: "We will not let a grain of sand get in."
"Okay, I believe in you, father and son." Zhao Hao picked up the wine glass, toasted the two of them and said, "We will be going south soon, so we can only leave a few people to help you with the situation. In the future, we need to respect the father and son. My compatriots in Kume Village, let¡¯s work together!¡±
¡°How dare you not fight to the death!¡± Zheng Zhaozuo and Zheng Hao excitedly raised their heads and downed the drink in one gulp.

Being injected with chicken blood by Young Master Zhao Oh no, the ideal father and son were so motivated that they left the island that afternoon and went back to implement the 'Zhao Four'.
As for Shang Hongde, Zheng Zhaozuo revealed that he was the general backstage of the pro-Japanese faction, so Mr. Zhao stayed with his brother Wang.
The father and son of the Zheng family stood on the Ryukyu galley on the return journey, looking at the golden Amami Bay under the setting sun, both filled with ambition.
Zheng Tong was even more excited. He told his father that he had lived for thirty years and finally found his goal in life!
Zheng Zhaozuo laughed loudly and said, "Before you came here, you had some slander about being a father, right?"
"It's because the son has little knowledge that he misunderstood that his father wanted to betray the country for glory." Zheng Zhen said: "Who would have thought that Mr. Zhao actually sincerely wanted to do Ryukyu's good, instead of exploiting Ryukyu and enslaving Ryukyu!"
"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan." Zheng Zhaozuo looked at his eldest son who had high hopes for him with earnest eyes and said: "Mr. Zhao is so angry that although Ryukyu is important in the eyes of us people, in his eyes it is just a drop in the ocean. So. Son, you should go out when you have the chance, and you can¡¯t spend your whole life being a frog in a well, that would be a waste of the opportunity God has given to the Zheng family!"
???.
The thirty-six surnames were all excited. Can you not be excited? This was done, and they became the actual rulers of Ryukyu.
Of course, some people are worried, will those princes and nobles jump over the wall in a hurry? Don't be fooled by Boyi if you are counter-attacked.
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it on the way back." Zheng Zhaozuo said in a deep voice: "First of all, we have to arm ourselves and protect ourselves. Then I will ask the king to see and hear the king tomorrow morning. As long as she agrees to these four points, we will use her If we do it in name, there¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡±
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, the young master will lead the fleet to Naha Port soon and use this place as a permanent military port. Although he has made it clear that he will not interfere in Ryukyu's internal affairs. But hundreds of warships gathered at the city, It is our greatest reliance!¡±
After speaking, he swept the crowd with his majestic eyes and said: "But there is one thing, I must not let the young master look down on me! So we still have to rely on ourselves to handle things beautifully! If anyone holds me back, I guarantee that your family will be better in the future." You can¡¯t even eat scraps! Do you understand?!¡±
¡°Understood!¡± All the heads of the household cheered up and responded in unison.
At this time, the descendants of the Zheng family brought thirty-six wine bowls on trays, and each of the thirty-six heads of the family picked up one.
"For the Ming Dynasty, for Ryukyu, and for our descendants!" Zheng Zhaozuo held the wine bowl and shouted to everyone: "After this bowl, we will risk our lives!"
"Do it!" Everyone drank it all in one gulp, followed Zheng Zhaozuo's example and threw the wine bowl to the ground, and shouted with red faces:
"Give it your all!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
