Chapter 16 The Plan of "Flying in the Waves"
"Jia Zhong, did Wu Qi agree to come to the meeting?" "Lang Li Fei" asked.

Jia Zhong: "Wu Qi agreed to come to the meeting on the spot, and he even invited the younger one to visit their village."

"Flying in the Waves": "How strong is Wu Qi's Taihu Rebel Army?"

Jia Zhong: "There are at least 200 of them strong and strong. They are all rebels who fought against the Qing soldiers before, and they are quite powerful."

"In addition, they also have a team of firecrackers. The firearms are quite sharp. The villain saw them practice with his own eyes. They are very powerful at a distance of 50 steps. Moreover, their firecrackers do not explode. They are divided into three teams and shoot alternately. Extremely fast and uninterrupted fire."

At this moment, "Lang Li Fei" looked at Weng Zhiheng, and asked: "Second brother, you were also a striker general under General Huang's command back then, so you must be no stranger to firearms, are you really so sharp?"

(Weng Zhiheng, the brother of "Langlifei", the second head of the cottage, nicknamed "Liaodong Tiger", was once a striker general under Jingnan Bo Huang Degong. After Huang Degong was shot and killed by a rebel general in Wuhu, eight of his soldiers except Weng Zhiqi went to Jiangxi Except for the sinking, the remaining 8 people all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the commander-in-chief Tian Xiong and Ma Degong captured Zhu Yousong, the emperor of Hongguang. Weng Zhiheng was the younger brother of the commander-in-chief Weng Zhiqi. , after several twists and turns and ended up in Taihu Lake, "Langlifei" saw that he was so brave, and dozens of people under his command were all elite fighters, so he immediately befriended him)
Weng Zhiheng said: "The firearms of my Ming Dynasty are still very sharp, but the quality of the firearms is not good, and the tubes often burst, so that some inferior firearms and even the officers and soldiers dare not use them. If it is a well-made bird Gun, 50 steps is indeed extremely lethal."

"During the Hongwu period, Mu Ying, the Duke of Guizhou, invented the "three-stage attack" when he pacified Yunnan. He was divided into three teams and fired in sequence. We have seen our intentions and want to use this to show our strength."

Jia Zhong said: "Let's report to the head of the family, and the younger one saw that Xia Wanchun is also in Wu Qizhai!"

"You're talking about Xia Wanchun from Songjiang Mansion, hasn't he been captured by the Tartars?" Weng Zhiheng asked.

The so-called cherishing each other between heroes, even though Weng Zhiheng has now become a bandit and committed acts of burning, killing and looting, he still admires Xia Wanchun, a young hero, from the bottom of his heart.

Jia Zhong replied: "Which other Xia Wanchun is there? It is Xia Wanchun who commanded the Taihu Rebel Army with Chen Zilong before. I have seen him before, so I won't mistake him."

At this time, the third master said: "In this way, even if Wu Qi comes as promised, we can capture him smoothly, and it will be very difficult for the Taihu rebels on Shengui Island to submit. If my expectations are not bad, Xia Wanchun is the one At their core, Wu Qi is just the leader of the rebel army on the surface."

(The third master was originally a poor scholar who was taken captive to the village. "Lang Lifei" saw that he was quite knowledgeable, so he asked him to manage the accounts. In addition, he was good at flattering horses, so he quickly became the third master. He is a member of the village He even gave himself the nickname "Zhi Duo Xing".)
Three masters: "Before, the brothers found a large number of material ships traveling to and from Shengui Island, and many of them were very deep like silver ships. Jia Zhong, do you have a large number of silver taels in his village?"

Jia Zhong: "Reporting to the Three Leaders, Wu Qi told me that he has plenty of money and food. As long as we can unite with their rebels to fight against the Qing Dynasty, we must give our strong support to our village."

"Congratulations to the master, there is indeed a lot of money in Shengui Island. As long as we annex Wu Qi, if we want money and people, this Taihu Lake will be the world of the master. Even the officers and soldiers will have to detour when they see us . " The third master said with joy and flattery.

Weng Zhiheng said: "Brother, since Wu Qi and Xia Wanchun intend to support us, why not fight against the Qing Dynasty together with them? The Taihu rebel army on Shengui Island is not weak, we may not be able to eat them!"

Zhi Duoxing: "Second brother, don't panic. Although the plan to lure Wu Qi to the meeting and capture him to force Shenguidao to submit may not work, but third brother, I have my own plan."

"As long as it is like this, we will take God Turtle Island without breaking a sweat."

Lang Lifei said loudly: "Okay, the third brother is indeed the wise man of my cottage, the two virtuous brothers don't want to argue, let's meet Wu Qi first and then talk about it."

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

Seeing that Xia Wanchun didn't come together, "Zhi Duoxing" was still slightly disappointed.

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

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

"Zhi Duoxing" responded: "Now that the Qing government forces our Han people to shave their hair, the people everywhere have raised their troops to resist, and even the officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty have also raised their troops to fight against it. This is a good time for our rebel army to grow and grow. It’s just that the various Taihu rebels have been fighting on their own without a unified command. If things go on like this, they will be defeated by the Qing army one by one. The purpose of this special invitation to Mr. Wu is to elect a “chief of the Taihu rebels” to lead our Taihu rebels .”

"The entire Taihu Rebel Army, you and I are the strongest. Whoever will be the leader directly will definitely not accept it. It is not feasible to take turns as the leader. It is better to attack Wujiang County together after 3 days. 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 the banner of anti-Qing and Ming will be raised!"

Wu Qi also felt that this method was fair and feasible, so he agreed immediately.The two sides chatted very happily, and agreed on some details of attacking Wu Jiang, and then left after drinking for a long time!
