Chapter 676 Supporting the Jungle Troops (Fourth Change)

"Mr. Chen, it's all my fault that led to the failure of the resistance, and also killed so many people and implicated so many businessmen in the city. I really can't say goodbye." Shopkeeper Wang saw Mr. Chen , I regret it.

Mr. Chen sat on the right seat, but he didn't mean to criticize shopkeeper Wang, but said: "Although your behavior was reckless at that time, it may not be impossible, but we have a traitor in the middle, and we will report the incident to the Governor's Mansion , which will lead to the failure of the uprising.”

"A traitor...? Have you found out who it is?" Shopkeeper Wang asked Mr. Chen with his eyes ruthless.

"It has been found out that among the people who rioted that night, only the broker Zhang Sanlu did not come, and he disappeared after that. Recently, some of us saw him coming in and out of the Governor's Mansion. Although it was not clear at night, but It can be basically confirmed that it is Zhang Sanlu." Chen Lao said.

"Zhang Sanlu is my brother who traveled all over the world with me. I thought he had already died that night. It couldn't be him." Shopkeeper Wang didn't want to believe this fact, "Could it be that Zhang Sanlu was caught and tortured?" It was only then that we confessed our actions."

"If he hadn't betrayed us on his own initiative, it would be impossible for him to freely enter the Governor's Mansion without anyone following him, and we sent someone to his home to steal the letters he had communicated with Manila Governor Acuña, so we can already confirm his betrayal There is no doubt about the fact that he betrayed us.” Chen Lao said, “And we speculate based on the letters we exchanged that he not only betrayed us at this juncture, but has long been playing the role of the Governor’s Mansion among our Chinese businessmen. They are afraid of the influence of our Chinese businessmen in Manila, so they need to buy someone to watch us."

"I didn't expect Zhang Sanlu to be a pawn of the governor's mansion. I'm going to kill him right away." Shopkeeper Wang shook the table, furious.

"Don't worry, I'll introduce you to someone." Old Chen said, "General Liu, please come here."

A burly man walked into the hall, and shopkeeper Wang tried to stand up vigilantly.

"Wang Si, you have caused our Kyushu Army to suffer a lot. We had to make adjustments to our good plan, and even alarmed the military department." Liu Wang found a seat and sat down.

"This is General Liu sent by the Kyushu Army from An Nanguo. He holds great power. If we want to capture Manila in the future, we still need General Liu's help." Chen Lao said.

It turned out to be a member of the Kyushu Army.Shopkeeper Wang was sweating profusely. Instead of following the order of the Kyushu Army to wait for the reinforcements, he started an incident ahead of time, which caused many of the previous arrangements made by the Kyushu Army to fall short. Such a crime was really unbearable for him.

"It's all my fault for being confused. I didn't follow your orders, and even lost the muskets you aided." Shopkeeper Wang felt ashamed, and observed Liu Wang's attitude from the corner of his eye.

"The lost muskets can still be produced, but the lives of the dead warriors will never come back." Liu Wang said.

"I... oh..." Wang Si blamed himself and shook his head, "I will kill the traitor first, and then commit suicide, and apologize to the dead brothers."

"Your approach is even more foolish." Liu Wang still shook his head, "It is tantamount to sacrificing the lives of yourself and your companions for nothing. If you can follow the orders of our Kyushu Army in the future, you will be able to alleviate some of your crimes. "

Wang Si was slightly surprised when he heard this: "What do you want me to do?"

"I heard that you also led a remnant army of one hundred soldiers to flee into the jungle..." Liu Wang said.

"That's right, the one hundred remnant soldiers were the few brothers who survived the incident that day, but we are now encountering many difficulties in the forest. The lack of food is one aspect. Some brothers got miasma in the forest and their lives are dying." Wang Si told Liu Wang about their plight, "So I risked my life and returned to Manila this time just to ask Mr. Chen for a batch of medicinal herbs and food."

Mr. Chen heard Wang Si's words from the side, and said: "We are looking for you, no wonder you will take the initiative to find you."

"After all, your uprising is to deal with the colonial army. We will find a way to supply you with food and herbs." Liu Wang made the decision for Mr. Chen.

"Can you provide us with... a batch of firearms and gunpowder. We lack gunpowder in the jungle. When the colonial army entered the jungle to encircle us, we could only borrow the bows and arrows from the natives to fight against the colonial army. We were easily defeated by the colonial army. Suppression." Wang Si originally sneaked into Manila, the most important thing was to find firearms, and now he saw the Kyushu Army general with the most advanced firearms here, although he had disappointed the Kyushu Army once, he still bit the bullet and asked Liu Wang help.

Liu Wang and Mr. Chen looked at each other with a smile, and said: "I said that you have to obey the orders of our Kyushu Army, and that is to secretly provide you with firearms, gunpowder, food, medicinal herbs, clothes, and even soldiers. you."

"Really?!" Wang Si was overjoyed.

"Since I said so, it is our Kyushu Army's adjustments to the changing situation in Manila. As a price, you need to do one thing." Liu Wang said.

"What's the matter?" Wang Si asked.

"You have to use the materials we provide to you to add some trouble to our Kyushu Army to the Governor of Manila. At a critical time in the future, we will attack Manila and hold down the defenders of Manila City." Liu Wang said.

"How long do we need to hold down the Manila defenders?" Wang Si asked eagerly.

"It can range from one year to as many as three years. The specific time is related to military secrets. I have no comment. You just need to choose to accept or not. If you accept it, you can get supplies, but you may be guarded by Manila. The army frequently suppressed them, causing heavy casualties." Liu Wang said.

"In the jungle without supplies and gunpowder, it is a dead end. It's better to fight with your life." Seeing that the conditions of the Kyushu Army were exactly what he wanted, Wang Si said.

"You can also use the materials we provide to raise a force among the local aborigines to supplement your casualties." Liu Wang suggested.

Wang Si thought about it, and with the contacts he had accumulated in the jungle in the past years, he could indeed pull together an indigenous army.The operation of a musket is not difficult. Even a person who has never used a musket can barely become a qualified musketeer after two or three months of training.

"I promise you, but before I leave, I want to kill the traitor Zhang Sanlu with my own hands, so as to cause panic in the city." Wang Si said.
