Wei Malang's eyes trembled violently. He could not have imagined that Guo Zhiyuan was so tough in the face of such powerful force threats. However, after hearing Guo Zhiyuan's words, he calmed down. Yes, Guo Zhiyuan was able to apologize for the Manila massacre and make compensation. Although he didn't know how he did it, he probably used it to lead the fleet to the Manila waters. However, this is enough to show that this young diplomatic envoy is not simple. It is indeed necessary for him to re-recognize this young man.

Thinking of this, Wei Malang took a long breath, suppressed his anger, and smiled at Guo Zhiyuan without a smile: "Mr. Guo, I apologize for the threat I just threatened you. I am very willing to cooperate with you, but you must give me an accurate answer. It is impossible for me to wait indefinitely, right?!..."

This is what Guo Zhiyuan wanted, and raised his index finger and said, "One year! Give me a year, and I will fulfill my promise!"

Wei Malang stared at Guo Zhiyuan without saying anything. Guo Zhiyuan looked at him calmly and didn't say anything. Finally, Wei Malang looked away first and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will give you a year. If you still cannot fulfill your promise a year later, I will definitely let you know the price of teasing me!..." After that, he waved his hand to the Dutch soldiers behind him and turned around and left without looking back.

Guo Zhiyuan watched Wei Malang leave with the fleet, but found that Li Jin did not leave with Wei Malang. He glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Why don't you go with the Dutch?"

Li Jin said with a sad face: "Why am I leaving? Wei Malang will kill me! I have done a mess of the errand, and Lord Shen will not let me go, Lord Guo, I have nowhere to go now, please let me follow you!..."

"Follow me?" Guo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Jin again. Although Li Jin had no moral integrity, he still had the ability and had a little fame in the maritime business circle. Such a person is not trustworthy, but can be used. He smiled and said, "It's not impossible to follow me, but I don't raise waste. If you want to follow you, you have to prove that you are valuable to me first..."

Li Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded and bowed to Guo Zhiyuan, "Thank you for taking it in. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly. I am a dog beside you. I will bite whoever you want me to bite..."

Guo Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can follow me and be a close servant first. I will arrange an errand for you when you see your performance..."

It's true that Li Jin has a good eye. Since he was a close servant to Guo Zhiyuan, he has been greeting Guo Zhiyuan so comfortable. Guo Zhiyuan gets up every day. When this guy is waiting outside the door, all the wash water and other things are prepared for Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan is thirsty and doesn't even speak. After coughing, Li Jin brings the tea. The only thing that makes Guo Zhiyuan a little uncomfortable is that this guy loves flattery too much. He talks like a tide every day, and flatters open his mouth. Guo Zhiyuan talks about him several times, but this guy seems to be so kind of innate and can't change it. Gradually, Guo Zhiyuan has gotten used to it. He now understands a little why the emperor likes to favor eunuchs. There is a person around him who always focuses on you, tries his best to please you, and treats your daily life with a considerate feeling. This seems to be good.

The fleet sailed on the sea for more than ten days and was approaching the Fujian sea. After leaving for so long, he finally returned to his motherland. Everyone was very excited. However, Guo Zhiyuan was a little excited. After thinking for a long time, he found the knot in his heart. It was the resettlement problem of more than 500 surviving businessmen. These more than 500 surviving businessmen are Guo Zhiyuan's treasures. Guo Zhiyuan said that he would not let anyone take away anything, but once he got ashore, he would not have decided on the resettlement problem of these surviving businessmen.

Speaking of which, Guo Zhiyuan's current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing. He, the diplomatic envoy, was a bit unjust, but now that the mission was completed, this diplomatic envoy naturally could not be regarded as the diplomatic envoy. He still didn't know what new errands would be arranged for him by Emperor Wanli. If he could not become the chief official, he really didn't know where to place the more than 500 surviving merchants and civilians.

Although Gutian County is Guo Zhiyuan's base, with Guo Zhiyuan's growth, this base can no longer meet Guo Zhiyuan's development needs. Moreover, Gutian County is not based on the sea, Guo Zhiyuan's next development plan is to establish his own power at sea, so Guo Zhiyuan must establish another base to expand his maritime development plan.

However, this base is difficult to find. First of all, this base must be close to the inland China. Otherwise, it will be enough to deal with pirates to make Guo Zhiyuan a headache. If it is suitable for people to live in or in a homeless place, the most important thing is that Guo Zhiyuan has to find a suitable excuse, otherwise he will be sued for a lawsuit and said that he has a ill-treat intention.

Li Jin was the best at observing his expressions and soon discovered that Guo Zhiyuan had something to worry about. He asked carefully: "Sir, what are you worried about? Can you tell me about it? Maybe the villain can help you share your worries?..."

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Li Jin and his eyes lit up. Li Jin ran on the sea all year round and was naturally the most familiar with the sea area near Fujian. However, maybe he could really find a suitable base for him. He told Li Jin about his thoughts. When Li Jin heard this, he slapped his thigh hard and said, "You are asking the villain about this. You know a good place ready-made. You will be satisfied with it!"

"Where?!" Guo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked quickly.

Li Jin originally wanted to keep it in a hurry, but was stared at Guo Zhiyuan's sharp eyes and quickly lowered his voice: "Penghu Island! There is a natural safe haven there, but it is a Feng Shui treasure land!"

Guo Zhiyuan's eyes became brighter when he heard this. Although he had never been to Penghu Island, he had heard the famous song "Grandma's Penghu Bay" in later generations. You can feel the beauty of Penghu Island from the lyrics, which also shows that it is definitely suitable for people to live in. The Dutch had previously had the idea of ​​Penghu Island and occupied it. Later, Shen Yourong went to negotiate with the Dutch alone. Wei Malang was frightened by Shen Yourong's momentum and had to withdraw from Penghu Island. Now Penghu Island has become the best homeless place?

Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan is no better than the Dutch. As long as he occupied Penghu Island, he could turn Penghu Island into his own base in the name of resettling surviving merchants and civilians returning from Manila. As long as the established facts are formed, it will be easier to deal with. Penghu Island is an idle existence for the court, and soldiers must be sent to guard it. Guo Zhiyuan's occupation of Penghu Island is equivalent to saving troops for the court and adding a protective barrier. I believe the court will be happy to see it!
