As soon as Guo Zhiyuan heard that Chen Zizhen and Yu Zhigao were coming, his eyes flashed, and he sneered: "When they fight, they all hide far away, and they come very quickly when they grab the merits of the war, but they came just in time, I was about to look for them, and some rules should be set in advance!" ……”

As soon as Chen Zizhen saw Guo Zhiyuan, he pretended to flatter with a smile on his face: "Lord Guo's departure is really extraordinary, he has leveled Hongyi so quickly, and this official will definitely be the court to ask for credit for Lord Guo!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan also laughed and said: "It all depends on the governor's strategy, and the subordinate officials can win by luck, how dare you take credit?" ……”

Chen Zizhen saw that Guo Zhiyuan was so good at doing things, and smiled even more brightly, and said a few polite words hypocritically, and then followed Guo Zhiyuan into the camp tent, and after entering the camp tent, they pushed each other for the seat, and the official position was naturally higher than Guo Zhiyuan, but the status of the deputy envoy of Haidao was more transcendent, and he was directly under the jurisdiction of the prosecutor, and was not under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Governor Yamen, and Guo Zhiyuan had just made such a great military exploit, it was reasonable to sit on the main seat, but Guo Zhiyuan insisted on humility, Chen Zizhen was also happy to push the boat and sit on the main seat.

After sitting down, Chen Zizhen talked about the old friendship (Guo Zhiyuan sent the silver and he received the money during the time when he still got along very well), and then said tentatively: "This time Guo Da defeated Hongyi, presumably he won a lot of money, this captured military capital Guo Daren will keep it to make up for the war damage this time, and there is really no need to draw up a list to the official, and the official can also hand over to the court, but I don't know how to deal with this Hongyi captive, how is Guo going to deal with it?" ……”

This is the real purpose of Chen Zizhen's coming, those captured Dutch warships and materials, Chen Zizhen knew that Guo Zhiyuan could not spit it out again since he swallowed it in his mouth, so he simply gave generous to others, so he was a favor, and turned a blind eye to help Guo Zhiyuan settle the account, what he really coveted was those Dutch prisoners, the military merits of the Ming Dynasty and Syria were recorded at the first level, so the soldiers would cut off the heads of the enemy army and hand them over to the officials sent by the imperial court to count, if they could capture the leaders of the enemy army, it would be a great achievement, especially if the defeat was a foreigner this time, The Ming Dynasty has not achieved this kind of big victory in the war with foreign countries for many years, if the leader of the Dutch can be escorted to the capital to offer prisoners, it will be a big face to the court, and the court will inevitably reward him, maybe he, the governor of Fujian, can go further!

Guo Zhiyuan's wishful thinking about Chen Zizhen is naturally very clear, but for the disposal of these Dutch prisoners, Guo Zhiyuan has long planned, killing these Dutch people will certainly relieve hatred, but it will make the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands completely deteriorate, and the future will be endless, and it will also have an adverse impact on the maritime trade along the coast of Fujian, he wants to beat the Dutch into fear, not to kill them all, and he knows that at this time, the national strength of the Netherlands is far greater than the Ming Dynasty, and he really thinks that if he wins this war, he can not put a maritime hegemon like the Netherlands in his eyes, that is Yelang arrogant!

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan plans to negotiate with the Dutch, take advantage of this big victory to sign a trade agreement with the Dutch that is more beneficial to China, and at the same time, it can also deter other Western maritime powers, so that they will no longer dare to covet China, so as to formulate a new maritime trade order and achieve the goal of long-term peace and stability on China's southern coast!

Guo Zhiyuan didn't mind sharing some credit to Chen Zizhen, after all, he had just been promoted to the deputy envoy of the sea channel, even if he made a great contribution, it was impossible for the court to give him another promotion, and Emperor Wanli's suspicion of him was not eliminated, it was completely out of desperation that he ordered him to "stay in the official system", and now that the threat of the Dutch has been eliminated, it is not bad if Emperor Wanli does not continue to suppress him, and it is impossible to give him greater power. Moreover, although he, the deputy envoy of the sea route, is not under the direct management of Chen Zizhen, the governor of Fujian, if he wants to formulate a new order of maritime trade, he cannot do without the cooperation of Chen Zizhen, the governor of Fujian, and can exchange military merits for Chen Zizhen's cooperation, which is still very cost-effective for Guo Zhiyuan.

However, Guo Zhiyuan could not make concessions on the issue of disposing of the Dutch prisoners, because it was related to his plan to formulate a new order of maritime trade, so Guo Zhiyuan replied expressionlessly: "Xiaguan has sent a letter to Hongyi in Java, asking them to send someone over to negotiate on the war between the two countries, and if the negotiation can reach an agreement, Xiaguan will release the captured Hongyi and hand it over to the negotiating envoy to bring back to Java......"

Chen Zizhen's face was not good-looking when he heard it, but he didn't know what to say, after all, the war was won by Guo Zhiyuan, how to deal with the prisoners, Guo Zhiyuan's voice was greater than that of him, the governor, so he glanced at Yu Zhigao on the side, Yu Zhigao, the "son of a famous general" with red roots, has always been not very cold to people like Guo Zhiyuan who rely on the wild road to take the position, don't look at this guy can't fight, but he is clear about the twists and turns in the officialdom, and immediately sneered: "Lord Guo, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate!" According to the practice of the imperial court, fighting with Fanyi, the captured soldiers should be beheaded to show the public, and the captive Yishou should be escorted to Beijing to offer prisoners to the imperial court, that is, to negotiate with Fanyi, and also ask the imperial court to appoint ministers to preside over the negotiations. ……”

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Yu Zhigao with disdain, but he was not angry, officialdom pays attention to the principle of reciprocity, if he goes to argue with Yu Zhigao, he loses his identity, so he also makes a look at Shen Yourong who is under his head, Shen Yourong agreed with Yu Zhigao last time to attack the Dutch fleet, but Yu Zhigao's army was defeated in a battle, leaving Shen Yourong's army to fight with the Dutch fleet and ran away first, Shen Yourong had already held back a lot of anger in his heart, if it wasn't for the face of Yu Zhigao's dead father Yu Dayou, he would definitely report to the court to impeach Yu Zhigao, At this time, seeing that Yu Zhigao was actually embarrassed to come and compete with Guo Zhiyuan for his merits, he immediately took the case and pointed at Yu Zhigao and scolded angrily: "What kind of face do you have to compete with Lord Guo?" On that day, you fought with Hongyi and collapsed in a battle, leaving me to fight Hongyi alone, is this how your father taught you to lead soldiers and be a man? ……”

Yu Zhigao was scolded by Shen Yourong so red-faced, but he didn't dare to refute it, one is that he is indeed at a loss, and the other is that the army is more particular about seniority than officialdom, Shen Yourong is a famous general of the same generation as his father Yu Dayou, if he contradicts Shen Yourong, it will be a big rebellion.

Guo Zhiyuan saw that Yu Zhigao was scolded by Shen Yourong and didn't dare to speak, so he turned his head to Chen Zizhen with a gloomy face and said: "Lord Chen, you listen to Xiaguan's explanation, Xiaguan has a last resort reason for such a disposition, although Xiaguan was lucky enough to defeat Hongyi who occupied my Penghu Island, but Hongyi still has a huge fleet entrenched in Java, if the captured Hongyi is killed, Hongyi entrenched in Java is angry and ashamed, what should I do if I make a big attack?" ……”
