As the strange sailless ship sailed out of sight, the Cohen steered to Malacca with trepidation, and they soon began to grow more and more frightened.

As we get closer to Malacca, there are more and more boats flying the White Tiger flag.

The first things I saw were small boats used in melee combat, and Cohen looked them up, and there were at least twenty of them. There are net shuttle boats, eagle boats, sub-mother boats, red dragon boats, and so on. Cohen didn't know the ships, but the keen Cohen could see that they were powerful in close combat.

However, the situation ahead shocked Cohen even more. Because more than thirty large sailing warships appeared in front of them.

"Stop the boat! Stop the boat! Cohen was taken aback and immediately ordered the ship's flag-bearers to wave their flags and halt the entire Dutch fleet.

Cohen's face was pale, and he regretted that he had brought all the ships in the stronghold. Cohen and the company's executives looked at Lee's ship and felt a great deal of pressure and crisis.

The warships in front of him were all large sailing ships and ships, and judging from the size and style of these warships and the number and scale of sails, any of the warships that Li Guo had ever fought were not inferior to the Dutch ships.

If Cohen's fleet and Li Guo's warships were engaged on the sea at this time, at least the Dutch would have no chance of winning and would be extremely likely to be defeated. And now, with a large number of small ships cruising around the Dutch fleet, Cohen could only seek death if he ordered his own fleet to fight with Lee's fleet.

Therefore, without entering the range of Li Guo's battleship, far away, Cohen gave the order to stop the fleet advancing early on. Cohen didn't dare to take risks! Cohen and the company's executives no longer have the slightest idea of taking Malacca. That would be unwise and stupid.

I hope this is not a trap, and I hope that Li Guo doesn't have the idea of killing them all. I hope so, Cohen thought.

Seeing Cohen's fleet stop. Wang Tiekou, who was leading the way in front, also stopped, and asked Cohen curiously in the language of the flag, why did he stop? Why don't you go? Flag language was common at the time, especially at sea. In Li Guo's water army, this is a specialized discipline. Moreover, many of Li Guo's sailors were Portuguese sailors who defected to Li Guo after being captured, and their flag language was the same as that of the Dutch.

Seeing Wang Tiekou's question, Cohen ordered the flag soldiers to answer. It's okay, I'll start the boat right away.

At this point, the East India Company executives quit their work, "Governor Cohen, are we going to move forward?" I don't think it would be wise for us to drive our own ships into their encirclement. ”

Cohen nodded, "Yes, I don't want to put our fleet in danger, so I'll leave my lieutenant in charge of the fleet here." I will lead this ship to Malacca alone. If any of you will not go, let him stay. ”

Most people thought about it and decided to go with Cohen to see Li Guo, with only one boat!

Before you go. Cohen had ordered that all the ships in the fleet should not only not move forward, but also turn their bows. Always be ready to escape. So, the Dutch fleet put on a posture of escape. Stopped there. Fortunately, Li Guo is only showing his strength. He didn't really want to fight the Dutch, so Lee's ships didn't move forward.

With Malacca just around the corner, Cohen felt more and more right about his idea of not going to fight with Li Guo. On the shore of Malacca, a large number of artillery pieces are densely covered, and now, the whole of Malacca is a strong fortress. The Dutch wanted to capture such a fortress, which was tantamount to a dream. Cohen and many of the company's executives began to clean up their mess and begin to leave the ship with a sense of humility.

As soon as they landed on the shore, Cohen and the others felt an incomparably huge pressure.

On the dock, the neatly arranged Tiger Army soldiers were densely packed, they hung their swords on their waists, and their hands held the fire guns in front of their chests, and all the Tiger Army soldiers were expressionless, neat and solemn.

Looking at the soldiers of the Tiger Army, Cohen unconsciously praised in his heart, this is a well-trained and strong army, Cohen's feet are a little weak.

But fortunately, surrounded by the soldiers of the Tiger Army, a white-robed and bright-armored general was looking at them with a smile.

Wang Tiekou, who was on the side, introduced Cohen that the smiling general was Li Guo.

Cohen immediately walked over to Li Guo quickly, and shook Li Guo's hand in an extremely affectionate and enthusiastic manner, "General Li Guo, I have long admired you very much, and it is really an honor to meet Your Excellency today." ”

Li Guo smiled and nodded, and replied calmly, "Governor Cohen, I'm glad you can come, I think your coming represents your sincerity." ”

"Yes, yes, I came with a sincere heart and a warm friendship." Cohen said emotionally.

Li Guo thought to himself, what sincerity and friendship, let his fucking stinky fart! Lao Tzu still doesn't know these things of you, each of them is a master who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's strength, you dogs wouldn't be upside down!

Li Guo continued to smile.

"General Li Guo, I know your nickname, your closest people call you Tiger Master, this is a very nice name! I wish we could call you that. Cohen said with some shamelessness.

Li Guo laughed, "Okay! Governor Cohen, yes! You can call me Tiger! ”

"Oh my goodness! It's a real delight. Tiger Master! That's what I'll call you, so I'm the closest person to you, aren't I? Cohen said exaggeratedly.

"Well, we're the closest people!" Li Guo said.

Li Guo and Cohen both laughed out loud, like two old foxes with different hearts.

The executives of the East India Company on the side frowned when they saw Cohen's obscene behavior and were ashamed of Cohen's behavior, but they immediately realized how correct Cohen's actions were.

Because at this time, Ma Shiyao, who was standing on the side, was stationed in Malacca, raised the order flag and ordered loudly, "Beat gongs and drums, fire guns and cannons!" ”

But after listening to the sound of gongs and drums, the whole pier roared. The soldiers raised their firearms and lit them and released them towards the sky. With the sound of firecrackers, a large number of shore fire cannons around the pier also thundered.

The ground shook with a bang, and Cohen and the others became more and more unsteady.

Finally, the sound of gunfire and drums stopped.

Li Guo took Cohen's hand and said, "Governor Cohen, welcome to Malacca, I will entertain you well!" ”

Cohen wiped the sweat from his forehead with his other hand, forced himself to smile calmly, and said humbly, "Thank you, thank you, I am very grateful for this, my General Li, my Tiger Master, my friend!" (To be continued......)
