When Guo Zhiyuan heard that Chen Zizhen and Yu Zigao were coming, his eyes flashed with a gleam and he sneered: "We all hid far away when fighting, but we came very quickly when fighting for military achievements. But they came just in time. I was about to find them. Some rules should be set in advance!..."

When Chen Zizhen saw Guo Zhiyuan, she smiled and said in a false flattery: "Mr. Guo is really extraordinary. She will be wiped out so quickly. I will be the official to report to the court to ask for merit for Lord Guo!"

Guo Zhiyuan also laughed softly and said, "It's all up to the governor to plan and make strategists. Only by being lucky enough to win, how dare you take credit for it?"

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was so good at doing things, Chen Zizhen smiled even brighter, and then followed Guo Zhiyuan into the tent. After entering the tent, he gave in to each other for the seats. Of course, Chen Zizhen was higher than Guo Zhiyuan's official position, but the position of deputy envoy of the Haidao was relatively transcendent, and was directly under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Office of the Commissioner of the Criminal Department, and it was not under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Governor's Office. Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan had just made such great military achievements, and even if he sat in the main seat, it was reasonable. However, Guo Zhiyuan insisted on being humble, and Chen Zizhen was happy to go with the flow and sit in the main seat.

After sitting down, Chen Zizhen talked about the past friendship again (he got along well during the time when Guo Zhiyuan gave the money to collect the money before), and then he tentatively said: "This time, Lord Guo defeated the Red Barbarians, and I guess he won a lot of money. The seized military funds will be kept to make up for the damage to this battle. If there is no need to draw a list for me, I can also hand over to the court. I don't know what Lord Guo is going to deal with this Red Barbarian prisoner?..."

This is the real purpose of Chen Zizhen. Chen Zizhen knew that since Guo Zhiyuan swallowed it, it would be impossible for him to spit it out again. He simply gave up on others and made a favor. Turning a blind eye to help Guo Zhiyuan settle the account. What he really envied was the Dutch prisoners. The Ming Dynasty recorded his military merits with the heads, so the soldiers would cut down the enemy's heads and hand them over to the officials sent by the court to count them. If the enemy's leaders could be captured, it would be even more great. Especially this time the defeat was foreigners. The Ming Dynasty had not achieved such a great victory in fighting with foreign countries for many years. If the Dutch leader could be escorted to the capital to offer prisoners, it would be a great man to give the court a face, and the court would definitely give it a reward. At that time, maybe he, the governor of Fujian, could be further ahead!

Guo Zhiyuan was naturally very clear about Chen Zizhen's wishful thinking, but Guo Zhiyuan had long planned to deal with these Dutch prisoners. Although killing these Dutch people would relieve their hatred, it would completely deteriorate the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, and would have endless troubles, and would also have adverse effects on the maritime trade along the coast of Fujian. What he wanted was to beat the Dutch, not to kill them all. Moreover, he knew that the Netherlands' national strength was far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty at this time. If he really thought that if he won this battle, he would not take the maritime overlord like the Netherlands seriously, that would be Yelang's arrogant!

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan plans to negotiate with the Dutch, and use this victory to sign a trade agreement that is more conducive to China, and at the same time it can also intimidate 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 stability in the southern coast of China!

Guo Zhiyuan didn't mind sharing some credit for Chen Zizhen. After all, he had just been promoted to deputy envoy of the Haidao, and no matter how great the merit was, the court would not be able to promote him again. Moreover, Emperor Wanli's suspicion of him had not been eliminated. He was completely forced to give him the order to "main the official system". Now that the threat from the Dutch has been eliminated, it would be good that Emperor Wanli would not continue to suppress him, and he would never give him greater power. Moreover, although he, the deputy envoy of the Haidao, was not directly under the jurisdiction of Chen Zizhen, the governor of Fujian, if he wanted to formulate a new order of maritime trade, it was inseparable from the cooperation of Chen Zizhen, the governor of Fujian. It was still very cost-effective for Guo Zhiyuan.

However, Guo Zhiyuan could not make concessions in dealing with the Dutch prisoners, because this was related to his plan to formulate a new maritime trade order, so Guo Zhiyuan immediately replied expressionlessly: "The Xiaguan has sent a letter to the red barbarians in Java, asking them to send people to negotiate on the war between the two countries. If the negotiations can reach an agreement, the Xiaguan will release the red barbarians and hand them over to the negotiator to take them back to Java..."

Chen Zizhen looked bad when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Guo Zhiyuan won the battle. How to deal with the prisoners? Guo Zhiyuan's voice is greater than that of him, the governor, so he gave Yu Zigao a win. Yu Zigao, the "son of a famous general" with a strong and honest "son of a famous general, has never caught a cold for a person like Guo Zhiyuan who relies on a wild path. Although this guy can't fight, it is Men Qing who is in a sneer. He immediately sneered: "Mr. Guo, this is probably a bit inappropriate! According to the customs of the court, when fighting against foreigners, he should be beheaded and displayed for the public. The captive foreigners should be escorted to the capital to offer prisoners to the court. Even if he wants to negotiate with foreigners, he should also ask the court to ask the court to appoint ministers to preside over the negotiations. Isn't this the Lord Guo dealt with them privately?..."

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Yu Zigao disdainfully, but was not angry. The officialdom emphasizes the principle of equality. If he went to argue with Yu Zigao, he would lose his identity and wink at Shen Yourong, who was in charge. Shen Yourong agreed with Yu Zigao to attack the Dutch fleet last time, but Yu Zigao's army was defeated in the battle. He left Shen Yourong's army to fight with the Dutch fleet and ran away first. Shen Yourong had already felt a lot of heart.

Angry, if it weren't for Yu Zigao's dead father Yu Dayou, he would definitely report to the court to impeach Yu Zigao. Seeing that Yu Zigao was so embarrassed to come and compete with Guo Zhiyuan for military merits, he immediately slapped the table and pointed at Yu Zigao and scolded him angrily: "What's the face of competing with Lord Guo? You were defeated when you fought with the Red Barbarians that day, leaving me to fight with the Red Barbarians alone. Did your father teach you how to lead troops back then?..."

Yu Zigao was scolded by Shen Yourong and blushed, but he did not dare to refute it. One reason was that he was indeed in the wrong, and the other was that the military was more concerned about seniority than the officialdom. Shen Yourong was a famous general of the generation who was the same as his father Yu Dayou. If he contradicted Shen Yourong, he would be a traitor.
