"Old Chen, it's all my fault that leads to the failure of resistance. It also kills so many people and implicates so many merchants in the city. I really don't want to die." When Manager Wang saw Old Chen, he regretted it.

Mr. Chen sat in the main seat, but no longer wanted to accuse Manager Wang. Instead, he said: "Although your behavior was reckless at that time, it might not be impossible. Unfortunately, we had a traitor in the middle and reported the uprising to the Governor's Office, which led to the failure of the uprising."

"Traitor...? Has it been found out who it is?" Manager Wang's eyes were ruthless and asked Old Chen.

"It has been found out that among the people who got up that night, only the broker Zhang Sanlu did not arrive, and he disappeared after that. Recently, some of us have seen him entering and leaving the Governor's Mansion. Although it was not clear at night, it can basically be confirmed that it was Zhang Sanlu." Old Chen said.

"Zhang Sanlu is my brother who traveled around the world. I thought he had already died that night, so it was impossible for him." Manager Wang was unwilling to believe this fact. "Will it be Zhang Sanlu who was caught and confessed our actions after being severely tortured?"

"If he had not betrayed us on his own initiative, it would be impossible for him to enter freely in the Governor's House without anyone following him. And we sent people to his home to steal the letters he had communicated with Governor Akunya of Manila, and it was beyond doubt that he had betrayed us." Chen Lao said, "And based on the letters we had reported, he not only betrayed us at this critical moment, but has long played the role of the Governor's House in our Chinese businessmen. They were afraid of the influence of our Chinese businessmen in Manila, so they needed to buy someone to monitor us."

"I didn't expect that Zhang Sanlu would become a minion in the Governor's Mansion. I'll kill him now." Manager Wang was shocked by the table and was furious.

"Don't worry, I'll lead you to meet someone." Mr. Chen said, "General Liu, I'll come here for you."

A burly man walked into the hall, and Manager Wang was vigilantly trying to stand up.

"Wang Si, you have caused a lot of hardships in our Jiuzhou Army. We have to make adjustments in the plan and alarm the military headquarters." Liu Wang found a seat and sat down.

"This is General Liu sent by the Jiuzhou Army from Annan Kingdom. He holds great power. If we want to seize Manila in the future, we still need General Liu's help." Old Chen said.

It turned out to be a member of the Jiuzhou Army. Manager Wang was sweating profusely. He did not act according to the orders of the Jiuzhou Army to wait for reinforcements. Instead, he started his own affairs in advance, resulting in many of the arrangements made by the Jiuzhou Army before. He could not bear such a crime.

"I'm all confused. I didn't obey your instructions and lost the muskets you helped." Manager Wang was ashamed and observed Liu Wang's attitude from the corner of his eyes.

"The lost musket can still be produced, but the dead warriors will never be able to return their lives." Liu Wang said.

"I...ah..." Wang Si was so angry that he shook his head, "Wait until I go and kill the traitor first, then commit suicide, and apologize to the dead brothers."

"You are even more confused about your behavior." Liu Wang shook his head, "It's like sacrificing the lives of himself and your companions in vain. If you can listen to the orders of our Jiuzhou Army next, you can relieve your sins."

Wang Si was slightly surprised after hearing this: "What do you want me to do?"

"I heard that you also led a hundred soldiers to escape into the jungle..." Liu Wang said.

"That's right, the remaining soldiers of the hundred people were among the few brothers who survived that day. However, we are facing many difficulties in the jungle now. On the one hand, some brothers have miasma in the forest and their lives are in danger." Wang Si told Liu Wang about their difficulties, "So this time I risked my life to return to Manila to ask Mr. Chen for a batch of herbs and food."

Mr. Chen heard Wang Si's words on the side and said, "We are about to look for you, no wonder you would come to you on your own initiative."

"After all, you are rebelling against the colonial army. We will find a way to provide you with food and herbs." Liu Wang made the decision for Mr. Chen.

"Can we provide us... 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 bow and arrow from the natives to fight against the colonial army, and were easily suppressed by the colonial army." Wang Si had originally sneaked into Manila City, and the most important thing was to find the firearms. Now seeing the Jiuzhou Army General with the most advanced firearms here, although he had disappointed the Jiuzhou Army once, he still gritted his teeth and asked Liu Wang for help.

Liu Wang and Chen Lao looked at each other and said, "What I said that you want to listen to the orders of our Jiuzhou Army is to secretly provide you with firearms, gunpowder, food, herbs, clothing, and even soldiers."

"Take it seriously?" Wang Si was overjoyed.

"Since I said that, it is the adjustment made by our Jiuzhou Army to respond to changes in the situation in Manila. At the cost, you need to do one thing." Liu Wang said.

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

"You must use the supplies we provide to you to add some trouble to our Jiuzhou Army to the Governor of Manila. At the critical moment in the future, attack Manila and drag down the defenders of Manila City." Liu Wang said.

"When should we hold the Manila defenders?" Wang Si asked anxiously.

"At least one year, at most three years, the specific time is related to military secrets, and I have nothing to tell you. You just need to choose to accept or not. If you accept it, you can get supplies, but you may be frequently wiped out by the Manila defenders, with heavy casualties." Liu Wang said.

"It is a dead end if there is no supplies or gunpowder in the jungle. It is better to fight with your life." Wang Si said when the conditions of the Jiuzhou Army were just right for him.

"You can also use the supplies we provide to pull up a force among the local indigenous people to supplement your casualties." Liu Wang suggested.

Wang Si thought about it and with his connections accumulated in the jungle in previous years, he could indeed bring up an indigenous unit. The operation of muskets is not difficult. Even people who have never used muskets can barely become a qualified musketman after two or three months of training.
