This time, Guo Zhiyuan did not make things difficult for Cohen, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Of course, Your Excellency the Governor can rest assured, our China is a country of etiquette, and we treat prisoners very humanely, and we will never abuse them......

Cohen was so angry that he didn't want to talk to Guo Zhiyuan anymore, so he brushed his sleeves away angrily, and when he saw Frans and the others who were captured with a depressed face, his anger could no longer be suppressed, and he grabbed Frans by the collar and roared: "Frans, you bastard!" Are you worthy of the trust I place in you? I handed over half of the company's warships to you, and you actually lost them all for me! And as a prisoner! ……”

Frans knew that he was wrong, and let Cohen grab his collar in frustration, and said ashamedly: "Lord Cohen, I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust, you punish me, I'm willing to die to apologize!" ……”

Cohen knew that no matter how much he punished France at this time, it would be useless, and he still needed to learn about Guo Zhiyuan's situation from France, so he let go of the hand that grabbed France's collar and said in a slow tone: "France, I really can't figure out how our powerful Dutch fleet can lose to the backward Chinese?" Is it that you bastard was careless, fell for the Chinese's scheme, and then lost so badly?! ……”

France first nodded and then shook his head, Cohen was completely confused by him, and the anger came up again, and roared: "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Are you trying to shirk your responsibilities? Or are you so stupid that you can't even make a judgment?! ……”

Franz looked at the angry Cohen and smiled bitterly: "Lord Cohen, I never thought of shirking my responsibility, I did fall for Chinese's scheme, but if I do it all over again, I will still lose......"

"You mean that although the Chinese have used stratagem, they do have the strength to defeat us head-on? It's impossible! No one can defeat our formidable Dutch battleship in a head-to-head battle! You tell me about your war with the Chinese, don't miss a single detail! ......," Cohen yelled in disbelief.

Frans told the story of the battle with Guo Zhiyuan as it was, and Cohen frowned when he heard it, and said to himself: "An iron-hulled ship that was hit by a cannonball and was unharmed? A 'submarine' capable of moving underwater? When did the backward Chinese invent such an advanced sea vessel? ……”

Cohen stared at Frans's eyes, trying to find traces of lying in order to shirk responsibility from his face, Frans saw that Cohen refused to believe him, and said with a red face: "Lord Cohen, I swear to God, I will never make excuses for myself to shirk responsibility, everything I say is true!" You can ask other people to see if I'm panicking! ……”

Cohen turned his head to look at the other captured Dutchmen, who did not want to bear the shame of being prisoners of incompetence, and quickly nodded one after another: "What Commander Frans said is true, those Chinese are indeed very strong, even if we fight them head-on, we will lose!" ……”

Now Cohen is silent, if Guo Zhiyuan has the strength to defeat the Dutch fleet head-on, then he is really in a dilemma, even if he is desperate, all the remaining Dutch battleships will be transferred to fight with Guo Zhiyuan and Guo Zhiyuan will not win, but it will affect the layout of the Dutch East India Company in Java, giving the Spaniards and the Portuguese an opportunity, as for asking for help in the Netherlands, don't even think about it, if he asks for help in the Netherlands, I am afraid that his governor will be removed immediately, and even if the Netherlands is willing to send a fleet to support, The Netherlands had traveled thousands of miles to China, and the battleships and troops he could send were quite limited enough to give him an overwhelming advantage.

But Guo Zhiyuan's unequal treaties were also difficult for him to accept, and accepting such harsh unequal treaties would also disappoint the shareholders of the Dutch East India Company in China, and he still could not serve long as a governor, so Cohen was in a dilemma.

At this time, Guo Zhiyuan sent someone to invite Cohen, Cohen became more and more annoyed, and said in his heart that this damn Chinese is too aggressive, do you really think you will eat me? Unexpectedly, Guo Zhiyuan's entourage took him to a green area, Guo Zhiyuan was playing golf, and when he saw Cohen coming, he handed over a club, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor, why don't we play a little game, you win me, and everything is up to you!" ……”

Cohen was also aroused to be aggressive, and angrily took the club and said, "Good! How do you say to play?! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan briefly told Cohen about the rules of playing golf, Cohen was originally playing with a belly of anger, but while playing, he was fascinated by this game called "golf", forgot his anger, forgot his troubles, and played with Guo Zhiyuan seriously, not to mention, this guy is really a little talented in playing golf, if it weren't for Guo Zhiyuan being more familiar with the rules than him, he would really lose to him.

At the end of the first game, Cohen swung his club hard and said, "One more game!" Guo Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you know why you lost?" Because you want to win so badly! In fact, the important thing in this game is not to win or lose, but to process, we can achieve a win-win situation, just like our current relationship, we are opponents, but we don't have to be enemies, the silver in this world is not endless, why don't we cooperate to make silver together? ……”

Cohen was also touched, but he was not so easy to fool, and snorted coldly: "You said well, cooperation is based on equality, and the conditions you put forward are completely unequal treaties, and I can't agree to them!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, what you said is right, but don't forget, you have to pay the price for doing something wrong, this time it was your fleet that forcibly occupied my Penghu Islands and plundered the coastal merchants of Fujian......

Cohen knew that he was in the wrong, but he still refused to let go, Guo Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, I know that you also have difficulties, and you need to explain to the shareholders of your Dutch East India Company, so let's take a step back, reduce the war reparations and protection fees by half, and you don't have to pay cash, just deduct from the trade payments between us, I have shown my greatest sincerity, is war or peace, you can do it!" ……”

Cohen actually knew that he had no choice but to agree to Guo Zhiyuan's request, Guo Zhiyuan was able to make concessions to save the face of the Dutch, and he was able to explain to the shareholders of the Dutch East India Company, and finally the two sides signed a new trade agreement, which was greatly famous in the later history of the New Ming Dynasty and even in the history of the New World, known as the "Treaty of Eastern Tibet"!
