Chapter 16 The plan of "Langli Fei"

"Jia Zhong, has Wu Qi agreed to come to the meeting?" "Langli Fei" asked.

Jia Zhong: "Wu Qi agreed to come to the meeting on the spot when he reported it to the head of the family. Not only that, he also invited the younger one to visit their village."

"Langli Fei": "How strong is Wu Qi's Taihu Rebel Army?"

Jia Zhong: "There are probably about 200 of them. They are all rebels who have fought against the Qing soldiers before, and they have quite a lot of fighting power."

"In addition, they also have a team of fire cannons. The firearms are quite sharp. I saw them practicing with my own eyes. They are extremely powerful from 50 steps away. Moreover, their fire cannons do not explode the tubes. They are divided into three teams and shoot alternately. The rate of fire is also very fast.

Extremely fast, with continuous firepower.”

At this time, "Lang Lifei" looked at Weng Zhiheng and asked: "Second brother, you were also a guerrilla general under General Huang back then. You must be no stranger to firearms. Are you really so sharp?"

(Weng Zhiheng, the brother of "Langli Fei" and the second master of the village, nicknamed "Liaodong Tiger", was once the guerrilla general under Huang Degong, the Bo of Jingnan. After Huang Degong was shot and killed by the rebel general in Wuhu, 8 of his soldiers except Weng Zhiqi went to Jiangsu

After sinking, all the other seven people surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, the commander-in-chief, even captured Zhu Yousong, the emperor of Hongguang. Weng Zhiheng was the younger brother of the commander-in-chief Weng Zhiqi. He broke out with his brothers and was later killed by the Qing army.

, after several wanderings, he ended up in Taihu Lake. "Langli Fei" saw that he was extremely brave and his dozens of men were also elites in hundreds of battles, so he immediately worshiped him.)

Weng Zhiheng said: "The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are still very sharp, but the quality of the firearms is poor due to the ink above and below, and the tubes often burst, so that some inferior firearms even the officers and soldiers dare not use. If it is a well-made bird

Gun, 50 steps is indeed extremely lethal."

"During the Hongwu period, Mu Ying, Duke of Guizhou, invented the "three-stage attack" when he was pacifying Yunnan. He divided into three teams and fired one after another. The firepower was continuous. It seems that Wu Qi must have people who are proficient in firearms. Wu Qi is like this.

They have seen our intentions and want to use this to show their strength."

Jia Zhong said: "Qi Qi, the head of the family, saw that Xia Wanchun was also in Wu Qizhai!"

"You are talking about Xia Wanchun from Songjiang Prefecture. Hasn't he been captured by the Tatars?" Weng Zhiheng asked.

The so-called heroes cherish each other. Although Weng Zhiheng has now turned into a bandit and committed crimes of burning, killing and looting, he still admires Xia Wanchun, a young hero, from the bottom of his heart.

Jia Zhong replied: "Who else can be Xia Wanchun? It is Xia Wanchun who previously commanded the Taihu Rebel Army with Chen Zilong. I have seen him before, so I will never mistake him for the wrong person."

At this time, the third boss said: "In this way, even if Wu Qi comes as promised and we can successfully capture him, it will be difficult for the Taihu Rebels on Turtle Island to submit. If my prediction is correct, Xia Wanchun is the one

At their core, Wu Qi is just the leader of the rebels on the surface."

(The third head of the family was originally a failed scholar who was kidnapped to the village. "Langli Fei" saw that he was quite knowledgeable, so he asked him to manage the accounts. In addition, he was good at flattering others, and he soon became the third head of the family. He was from the village.

Military advisor, he also gave himself the nickname "Zhi Duo Xing".)

The Third Master: "Before, brothers discovered that a large number of supply ships were plying the Divine Turtle Island. Many of them were very deep and looked like silver ships. Jia Zhong, is there a large amount of silver in his village?"

Jia Zhong: "The third master of Qizhen, Wu Qi, told me that he has plenty of money and food there. As long as we can join forces with their rebels to fight against the Qing Dynasty, they will definitely provide strong support to our village."

"Congratulations to the boss, there is indeed a lot of money in Shengui Island. As long as we annex Wu Qi, we will have money and people when the time comes. This Taihu Lake will be the world of the boss. Even the officers and soldiers will have to take a detour when they see us.

." The third master said with great joy and flattery.

Weng Zhiheng said: "Brother, since Wu Qi and Xia Wanchun intend to support us, why not fight with them against the Qing Dynasty? The strength of the Taihu Rebels on Turtle Island is not weak, and we may not be able to defeat them!"

Zhi Duoxing: "Second brother, don't panic. Although the plan of luring Wu Qi to the meeting and capturing him to force Turtle Island to submit may not work, third brother, I have a clever plan of my own."

"As long as we do this, we will take down Turtle Island without any effort."

Lang Lifei said loudly: "Okay, the third brother is indeed the Zhiduoxing of my village. The two wise brothers should not argue. Let's meet this Wu Qi first."

That night, Wu Qi went to the meeting as promised, bringing with him more than a dozen volunteers and some gifts.

Seeing that Xia Wanchun did not come with him, "Zhiduoxing" was still slightly disappointed.

After a while of pleasantries, the two sides got down to business.

Wu Qi first said: "I don't know why the boss invited Wu to come here this time?"

"Zhiduoxing" responded: "Now that the Qing government has forced us Han people to shave their heads, the people everywhere are miserable and have raised troops to resist. Even the officials who surrendered to the Qing have raised their troops anyway. This is a good time for our rebel army to develop and grow.

It’s just that the various Taihu Rebels have been fighting independently without unified command. If things go on like this, they will be defeated by the Qing army one by one. The purpose of inviting Mr. Wu here this time is to recommend a "general leader of the Taihu Rebels" to jointly lead our various Taihu Rebels.

."

"In the entire Taihu Rebel Army, your two families are the strongest. Whoever directly serves as the overall leader will definitely be dissatisfied by the other family. Taking turns to be the leader is not feasible. How about three days later, each family will send out elites to attack Wujiang County together and seize the

The autumn grain tax collected by the Qing army. Whoever invades the county and gains more will be elected as the general leader of the entire Taihu Rebel Army, and then they will raise the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty!"

Wu Qi also felt that this method was fair and feasible, and he immediately agreed. The two parties had a great conversation, and agreed on some details of the attack on Wujiang. They drank for a while before leaving!
