Chapter 8: Post-war summary

After discussing the issues exposed in the battle, Li Mingyuan set out to expand the army again. The Duraya mine rescued 3,200 Chinese workers. Among them, more than 200 people were weak and needed some time to recuperate. The remaining three Thousands can join the army.
除了 Except for the first few hundreds of Taiping Army family members, the South American Chinese laborers are all young and middle-aged men, and there are almost no Chinese women. So now Li Mingyuan does not have to worry about the drag of old, weak women and children, and can reorganize the army with ease.
Three thousand miners and the original one hundred and fifty Taiping Army. Even if there were two hundred casualties in this battle, there were four hundred three hundred troops in total, and four hundred three hundred men could be reorganized into two regiments, but Li Mingyuan did not intend to do so. do.
The Taiping Army will soon attack other mines and plantations, and the number of Chinese troops will also increase.
It is too troublesome to reorganize each time after joining the Chinese laborers, so Li Mingyuan plans to reorganize the troops after the army grows.
新 Now the newly joined Chinese laborers are mixed with the original Taiping Army to replace them with old ones and quickly increase their combat effectiveness.
混 Before mixing, Li Mingyuan's first thing to do was to expand the artillery, machine gun and other technical arms.
Because six heavy artillery pieces were seized by Peruvian defenders, Li Mingyuan planned to marshal a heavy artillery company with a total of 120 people, plus more than 70 artillery pieces of different specifications in the Duraya warehouse. Artillery battalion.
The newly established artillery battalion has one heavy artillery company, two three-pound artillery companies, two six-pound artillery companies, one nine-pound artillery company, and one twelve artillery companies. There were a total of 78 artillery pieces with a population of 570.
The Milo artillery failed to kill the enemy's heavy artillery due to insufficient artillery range during the siege, but it performed well when supporting the Taiping Army, so Li Mingyuan directly promoted him to the commander of the artillery battalion.
Machine guns have also been seized a lot this time, but Li Mingyuan does not plan to use them in a centralized manner like artillery. In addition to retaining an expanded machine gun company, the other machine guns are issued to four gun battalions, adding a machine gun platoon for each battalion. The number of muskets after the full deployment reached 610.
After the success of the first riot, Li Mingyuan planned to set up a special force in the way of later special forces.
However, because of the tight time and insufficient manpower, Li Mingyuan only explained the basic special operations to the fifty guards around him.
Now that there are sufficient staff, Li Mingyuan will not waste opportunities. In his plan, the original commander of the special forces was Wang Xiaoshan.
However, this time Wang Xiaoshan made a mistake and was ruled out by him. After thinking carefully for a while, Li Mingyuan was going to let the new guard lead Zhao Yongzeng as the chief of the special forces.
Zhao Yongzeng is calm and calm, bold and careful, so that he will not lead the special forces to make careless mistakes like Wang Xiaoshan.
Special forces are demanding. Li Mingyuan's expectations are not high. It is enough to select 50 out of more than 4,000 people.
After the matter was properly arranged, Li Mingyuan left the discussion hall and went to Wang Shanshan's tent to visit him.
"Shizi, why are you here?" Wang Xiaoshan lay on the bed and saw Li Mingyuan walking in, struggling to get up and salute.
不要 "Don't get up, I brought you gold wound medicine, lie down and I will help you apply medicine."
"Shizi, a little injury, it will be fine in a few days." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.
"Let you lie down and lie down, do you dare not obey my order?" Li Mingyuan pressed Wang Xiaoshan, who was about to get up, and took out a bottle of wounds to be painted on his back.
小山 "Small hill, negligence on the battlefield will not only hurt yourself, but also drag the entire army. The punishment for you today is to remind you not to make similar mistakes in the future. Can you understand my intention?"
明 Li Mingyuan said while applying wound medicine,
"Shizi, the subordinates lived up to the expectations of Shizi." Wang Mingshan was moved by Li Mingyuan's application of his medicine, and he could not help turning his eyes to the red road.
"Hehe, the manly husband bleeds without tears, don't you look down on me." Li Mingyuan chuckled.
"Yes, Xiaoshan will never let the world down again." Wang Xiaoshan earnestly said.
"The medicine is good, you can rest assured first, and then fight with me when the injury is healed." Li Mingyuan patted his body and said. ...
"Brother Luo, it's a good job to follow Shizi. When he first came to join, Shizi let you be the battalion commander. It seems that Shizi is very important."
On the way back, a member of Mount Luo Lin said.
"Well, Shizi treats his subordinates fairly and rigorously. His relatives also make punishments if they make mistakes, and following Shizi is a clear way." Luo Linshan nodded.
"I heard people say that the Son of Heaven was called by Heavenly Father two months ago. From then on, the Son of Son became different. Not only did he become more powerful, he was not even an opponent."
"Maybe." Although he joined the Taiping Army, Luo Linshan didn't believe in worshiping God, so he was ambiguous.
Two days later, in a large plantation in Peru,
华 A Chinese worker looked at the young man beside him, wondering, "Brother, are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Brother, come and talk." The young man pulled the Chinese laborer to a hidden place, and said in a small voice, "Brother, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, haven't you heard the wind?"
"What the wind?"
"His Royal Highness the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has arrived in South America and is now leading the Taiping Army to attack the Peruvian mines and rescue the Chinese workers."
"Do n’t talk nonsense, His Royal Highness has been dead for three years. I was the Taiping Army then."
"Brother is also the Taiping Army, then we are one family, we don't hide it. In the next Taiping Army squad leader Sun Qisheng, at the order of the son of the world, came to inquire about the news."
"Shizi? Which Shizi?" The man said in shock.
"Of course he is the only son of His Royal Highness." Sun Qisheng admired his face and told the man what had happened recently.
"The sky never stops my Taiping Army. I can't think of His Royal Highness who has succeeded someone to do a good job here." The man sighed.
"Brother, Shizi took a sneak attack on the plantation tonight. Would you like to play for Shizi?"
"That is to say, I have been waiting for this day."
At night, the Chinese workers who had been asleep gathered together to plan a major event.
"Zhang Song, Zhou Qiang, have the weapons been taken out?"
"Twenty muskets and thirty long knives have arrived."
"Okay, brothers, the Taiping Army brothers are waiting outside. As long as we take down the city gate and put the Taiping Army into the city, we will be free. Do you dare?"
听 "Listen to Brother Sun, we also have to fight with the world," said the Chinese workers agitated.
"This is the weapon we smuggled in, and our good brothers came forward to collect it." Sun Qisheng pointed at the stacked weapons.
Chinese workers swarmed up all around, but robbed them of their weapons in two minutes.
"Brothers with weapons walk in front, and now everyone will take the gate with me."
Sun Qisheng greeted him and took the lead to the city gate.
