Chapter 390 Golf

"Stop! The Spanish ship stopped!" Since the New Army soldiers saw that the Spanish fleet stopped moving forward, they immediately cheered in unison. Although they had made up their minds to fight to the death, the strength gap between the two sides was so great that it was best not to fight in this battle. Now that the other party stopped moving forward, it was equivalent to showing weakness on their own initiative, and naturally they would cheer for victory!

Guo Zhiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief in secret. If you observe carefully, you will find that his back is sweaty. Although he has always been full of confidence, he has no confidence in his heart. He does not want to go to war with the Spaniards now, but he cannot bet that he can only gamble that the Spaniards will not go to war. If he wins the bet, he can get the initiative. If he loses the bet, he may bring in the Dongfan Navy that he has finally formed and return to before liberation overnight. Fortunately, he won the bet!

The next thing was simple. After some negotiations, the Spaniards finally helped accept the proposal of Guo Zhiyuan to allow them to bring three warships into Dongfan, while the other warships continued to stay outside the Dongfan waters. Guo Zhiyuan would send someone to send them the necessary supplies and supplies.

Akunia and others took three warships to dock at the Beigang Pier, the capital of Dongbo. When Guo Zhiyuan saw Akunia, he immediately took the initiative to go forward and strode his chest, and smiled and said with a smile: "Dear Governor General Akunia, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Welcome to Dongbo. Your arrival makes Dongbo shining brightly, which makes me very honored!..."

As soon as he came to Dongfan, Akunia, who had always been arrogant, felt that the smile on Guo Zhiyuan's face was a mockery of him, and snorted coldly: "This is the first time I heard that I used cannons to welcome guests from afar. Don't you feel hypocritical?..."

Guo Zhiyuan shrugged and retorted: "I haven't heard of bringing fleets and cannons to other people's houses as guests. There is a saying in China that friends come and have good wine, and tigers and wolfs come and have muskets. My reception method for the Governor is completely determined by the Governor himself..."

As soon as the two met, they started to fight against each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Fei Lisa, who was beside her, quickly smoothed out the situation and chuckled: "It's all a misunderstanding. Guo, haven't you said that we will always be friends? Now I'm here to your territory. How do you, the master, prepare to entertain me!..."

Fei Lisa is more beautiful than when Guo Zhiyuan met her in Manila last time. Her mature charm is simply irresistible. Guo Zhiyuan dared not look at her directly, for fear that he could not resist the temptation and made mistakes. He actually didn't want to tear him off with Akuña now. After all, he was pointing to making money in the sea trade business with the Spaniards, and hurriedly said, "Miss Fei Lisa, of course you are my eternal friend. I will treat you with the highest courtesy..."

Guo Zhiyuan really gave the Spaniards enough face and personally took them to visit Dongba. The prosperity of Dongba really surprised Akunia and others. You must know that they have been operating in Manila for many years, but the prosperity is not as good as Dongba, which has only been built for a few years. They were even more wary of being surprised. Guo Zhiyuan is really terrible. Can a deserted island become so prosperous in just a few years? If he continues to develop, will the future East still have their foothold?

In particular, they noticed that Guo Zhiyuan had a very high prestige in Dongba and would be cheered by the people wherever he went. People who could do this were generally ambitious people, because as long as he had a word, countless people would be willing to fight for him. As long as he waved his hand, he could form an army that was not afraid of death. Who would be afraid of such a person?

Only Fei Lisa's focus is not on this. When she met Guo Zhiyuan in Manila, Guo Zhiyuan was just a small messenger, with only dozens of people under her. After a few years, Guo Zhiyuan has become the overlord of the powerful. He has tens of thousands of tigers under her, and he is eager to do so. He is polite and says that power is the best aphrodisiac for men. When she was in Manila, Fei Lisa only had a slight affection for Guo Zhiyuan, but at this moment he was a little fascinated. Most of the time he was tied to his body like silk.

Akunia originally wanted to negotiate with Guo Zhiyuan on the matter of sea trade, and forced Guo Zhiyuan to lower the monopoly price, but Guo Zhiyuan did not give him a chance to speak and arranged the itinerary. Finally, Guo Zhiyuan brought them to a wide green grassland, and asked his followers to bring a few iron rods with elbows, and took out a small white ball the size of an egg, and said with a smile: "Everyone is flying across the ocean to Dongfan. I believe that after sitting on the boat for a long time, he will feel a little sore in the waist and back. Why don't we play golf together and have some fun?"

Guo Zhiyuan made the golf ball not because the Dongfan developed it and began to lose his ambitions, but because he found that the generals from the new army were all rough, brave and delicate, while the civil servants under his command had a long time lacked exercise and were weak, so he thought about finding a way to exercise to make up for the shortcomings of his subordinates.

Golf was popular in the West in later generations and became synonymous with aristocratic sports. Almost all nobles will allow their children to receive golf training from an early age. It can be seen that the charm of this sport can not only achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, but also test your control of the strength of the ball and the accuracy of your vision, but also relax in a beautiful environment.

Most people may think that golf originated in Europe first, but in fact, in China, a game similar to golf appeared in the Yuan Dynasty. This sport is called "Chiwan". In the book "Zhiwan Jing", the book "Zhiwan" records in detail the hitting methods and game rules of "Chiwan".

Now the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team has fallen in love with this sport. Even Zhao Shizhen, who is obsessed with firearms, will play one game from time to time, because since they played golf, not only has their health improved, but their thinking has also become much more active. As for the generals of the new army at the beginning, they were more resistant to this sport. At the beginning, they were so excited that they had to play it. Under Guo Zhiyuan's forced request, they had to play. Now they are much more calm than before, and their considerations are more delicate than before.

Even the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team was fascinated by golf, not to mention the Spaniards. After Guo Zhiyuan explained the rules and demonstrated them a few times, they soon became addicted to playing. Akuña began to think about the negotiations, but after playing for a while, she felt unable to stop. She threw the negotiations behind her and discussed with Miguel that she would build such a golf course after returning to Manila, so that she could play every day.
