"Even if we write to Sun Junmen to argue now, and the documents are sent back to Sun Junmen and then back to Wenmen, it will take at least a rainy day. The army recruited by Bi Ziyin has arrived long ago. I will still fight at that time. Why not capture Wuqiao County now and take the lead." Li Jiucheng seized the key point, that is, the army recruited by Bi Ziyin will come soon, and whether it is written to Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua or Shandong Governor Yu Dake, there is no time left.

Kong Youde looked at Li Jiucheng quietly. It seemed that he had already made such a premeditation, otherwise he would not have been so concerned about this matter, and he also tried his best to promote the mutiny.

Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard this. If they continued to go north or stay in Wuqiao, they would encounter a large army of rebels and fight. But if they didn't meet a large army of rebels, someone thought of returning to Dengzhou.

"General, the last general believes that he can return to Dengzhou, so that he can avoid contact with the rebel army. We will write to Sun Junmen to clarify the facts. Sun Junmen is a reasonable person and will definitely be able to argue for us. After our army returns to Dengzhou, this matter can naturally be resolved." Someone suggested

"The army has not had much food and grass. Last night's Yingxiao destroyed most of the food and grass. The existing food and grass are only enough for two days. If you return to Dengzhou, the prefectures and counties along the way will definitely not provide food and grass. How should I deal with it when I wait? Starve to death? Or plunder the people or even attack the county town to get food, confirming the name of rebellion? It is still a rebellion at that time. It is better to move now and seize the opportunity." Someone immediately refuted.

"Then we can wait for the rebel army to come and surrender, and wait for the court to investigate and return us to a clear innocence." At the beginning, Yan Yan suggested again that he still did not want to rebel. After all, he still wanted to rely on the Ming Dynasty tree and get promoted and wealth.

"There is not much food and grass now, and the four gates of Wuqiao County are closed. I'm just waiting for it. I'm afraid I'll starve to death. Even if I can survive until the rebellion is coming, I will surrender. That's because you don't have any troops in your hands. How can I bear the revenge of the Wang family? If there is an army in hand, they must be cautious in doing things, and we still have a way to live." This road was soon denied.

In the end, everyone was silent because there were so many roads left, and the only way left was the real rebellion, but no one took the initiative to raise it. After all, the risks of such things are very high.

Later, several other ways were proposed. The main suggestions were the hundreds of generals of the Firearms Battalion. Because they were the newly recruited soldiers from Sun Yuanhua in Dengzhou, they were promoted to the hundreds of generals because of their hard training and courage and strategy. However, they had never been to the battlefield and did not understand the rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. They were determined to go to Daling River to kill the enemy. The idea was very simple. They believed that as long as they could achieve success, they would definitely be promoted and wealth, be granted a wife and son, and live a life of superiority from then on.

Those who refute them were all officers of the cavalry battalion and the generals of the firearms battalion, because they knew very well how the Ming Dynasty official acted. If there was no one in the court, even if you made a contribution, you might not be able to get rewards. Maybe you would even be punished for the crime of civil servants. The example of the old boss Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng was there.

On the contrary, if someone in the court helps, he can be promoted even if he is helpless. Liu Xingzhi, who killed former deputy general of Dongjiang, Chen Jisheng, is the best example. Their brothers worked under Nurhaci for 23 years. Later, because of being excluded, they came to the Ming Dynasty and became a big tree. After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, he was promoted from a small Dusi to the position of managing half of Dongjiang Town.

Since Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng were killed one after another, these officers from Dongjiang have long lost their trust in the court. At present, the only civil servants worthy of their trust is Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, so they all tend to mutiny and return to Dengzhou. Although they were also excluded by Shandong soldiers and local officials and gentry, they were protected by Sun Yuanhua, so they would not be as excessive as the magistrate of Wuqiao.

Finally, Kong Youde stood up and said, "Everyone, I have discussed for so long, and I have thought about all kinds of solutions, but it won't work. Now there is only one way in front of us, that is, mutiny, and then return to Dengzhou to accept the recruitment. Sun Junmen treats me well and will definitely understand our difficulties. In the past, there were many mutinies in western Liaoning, but they all ended in fruitlessness. We will be safe and sound the most. Now the magistrate of Wuqiao, Bi Ziyin, we must not spare him personally. I decided to attack Wuqiao County, capture Bi Ziyin alive, and then return to Dengzhou to ask Sun Junmen to clear our grievances. What do you think?"

"The last general obeys the order" said the officers at all levels present. Although the hundreds of presidents were still unhappy, this was the best way to think of at present. They were still uneasy, but now they can only do so.

"Next, we need to discuss how to attack Wuqiao County. The four gates of Wuqiao County are closed. The fifteen Folang machine guns carried by our army cannot open the city wall, so we can only climb the city to fight. There are not many soldiers in the city, and there are some yamen runners. Bi Ziyin will definitely recruit young and strong men to defend the city wall. Our army will definitely be able to capture the county town, but how to capture it at the lowest cost? What do you think? Since it has been decided to rebel, Wuqiao County will definitely fight, and Bi Ziyin will not run out by himself.

Everyone kicked their opinions, and the final result was to send officers from all levels of the Infantry Battalion to be pioneers, giving them a chance to make meritorious service, and first attacking the city wall to pardon and get promoted.

After entering the city, open the city gate first, and the firearm soldiers enter the city to clear the remaining enemies. Although most of the few people will resist at this time, it is still necessary to let the new recruits from the firearm battalion see blood. The cavalry sent one hundred people to guard the four gates in each city gate, and then sent one hundred people to patrol around the city to prevent Bi Ziyin from escaping from the other gates or coming out of the city. After all, the attack was for the city's food and grass, the second was for the money of the big households in the city, and the third was to capture Bi Ziyin and take it back to Dengzhou. If he was let go, the mutiny would not be of great significance.

"Since the combat plan has been decided, you all go back to the camp to inform the soldiers about this matter to get up at the Mao time tomorrow morning and attack the city at the Chen time. We will try our best to take down Wuqiao in one go. Let's encourage each other." Then the officers went back to arrange the matter, and only Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan were left in the camp.
