Chapter 9: Strength enhancement

Outside the plantation, Li Mingyuan took five hundred people outside the gate.
After pulling out the Duraya mine, there was no large-scale Peruvian armed forces around the Patibirka Valley. After discussing with the senior peace forces such as Chen Guozhu, Li Mingyuan decided to split the troops and conquer the Patibir Valley. Before the Peruvians did not respond, Rescue as many Chinese workers as possible and strengthen your strength.
"Shizi, the brothers in the plantation have signaled," Zhao Yongzeng, who just took over the investigation company, whispered.
In the future, the special forces will be under unified management with the scouts, so Li Mingyuan first arranged Zhao Yongzeng at the position of the reconnaissance company commander to facilitate his familiarity with the situation in advance.
A torch swayed to the left and right of the city gate, and Li Mingyuan faintly saw the figure of Sun Qisheng holding the torch.
"Sun Qisheng is a good seed to be a special forces officer. Yong Zeng, when the whole army competed in a few days, recruited him to the special forces."
大 Comparing the entire army is an activity that Li Mingyuan has conducted in order to select talents of various services. At that time, not only the newly established special forces will select soldiers, but other troops will also take this opportunity to recruit soldiers.
"I understand," Zhao Yongzeng said
"You must not miss this opportunity, Yongzeng will lead your subordinates to win the plantation." ...
Since the Peruvians in the mine were all captured by captives, the other plantations in the surrounding mines have not been informed of the Chinese labor riots.
In less than ten days, Li Mingyuan took advantage of the asymmetry of information to wipe out the Peruvian forces in the Patipirka Valley, occupying 19 mines, 28 plantations, and rescuing 57,000 Chinese workers. Forty-one people, countless materials seized.
For more than ten days, Li Mingyuan led the Taiping Army to grow from 2,000 people to snowballs to 60,000 people. The speed of growth was amazing.
The rapid expansion of the army led to various problems.
First of all, the newly joined Chinese workers have no combat experience, and the individual combat capability of the expanded Taiping Army has declined.
Secondly, the daily food and drink costs of more than 60,000 people are also astronomical. Although relying on seizures, the Taiping Army can still maintain supplies for three months. However, the areas occupied by the Taiping Army are desert areas, except for scattered walks in plantations and saltpeter mines Market, the supply of living materials also depends on the support of the Peruvian mainland,
When the Peruvians responded, as long as they surrounded the Patipilka Valley, they could trap the Taiping Army. It was because of the geographical shortcomings of Patipilka that Li Mingyuan gave up establishing a base here.
If he wants to solve the dilemma he faces now, Li Mingyuan intends to fight a few battles in Peru to beat the Peruvians so that the Peruvians will not dare to chase them when the Taiping Army moves in.
Occupied the mines and plantations, the Taiping Army killed 800 Peruvian troops and captured 5,000 in captivity.
In addition to the Peruvian army and armed militia, the captives also have 47 large mine owners and large manor owners. These people can open mines and plantations. They are related people in Peru. Forty-seven people add up. When Li Mingyuan was planning to move to Brazil, they used them to negotiate with Peru, returning captives, mines, and plantations in exchange for more Chinese workers.
Of the 261,000 people, except for more than 3,000 who are physically weak, others are eligible to serve as soldiers.
He was in a foreign country and was on all sides. Li Mingyuan didn't dare to take the slightest care. At present, the enemy, Li Mingyuan, has no mood for farming development, and 58,000 people who meet the conditions for serving in the army.
If time is sufficient, Li Mingyuan will take the time to train them, but he will soon face a counterattack by the Peruvian army. Li Mingyuan can only take them to the battlefield and rely directly on actual combat training.
"Shizi, even officers above the commander are here." Zhou Daniu, who succeeded Zhao Yongzeng's guard, reported.
When the officer of Taiping Ping arrived, Li Mingyuan temporarily put down his thoughts and came to the hall with Zhou Da Niu.
Although the number of Ping Taiping troops has expanded rapidly, the positions of the various Taiping officers have not changed since a new round of reorganization has not yet taken place.
"Today I will tell you the good news. The Taiping Army will reorganize. You may be promoted to two levels or even higher."
I glanced at the more than thirty people below, and found that everyone had an earnest look in his eyes. Li Mingyuan knew what they thought. The army expanded, but the position was the same as before, and of course it was uncomfortable.
"Wait for the son of the son early, 俺 Lao Chen has 10,000 people, and is also holding the post of battalion commander, 咋 seeing 让人 is not comfortable." Chen Guozhu grinned.
"Lao Chen, you are really an official fan. As soon as Shizi talks, you can't help it." Li Sandou laughed.
"Li Sandou, don't say me, don't you want to be promoted?" Chen Guozhu asked.
After listening to the conversation between the two
The Taiping officer below laughed out loud.
"Well, let's get back to business. According to the original establishment, the four musket battalions were directly expanded into divisions. Each division had four main regiments, one artillery battalion, one reconnaissance company, and one logistics battalion. The number was 10,000."
明 Li Mingyuan's voice dropped, and the officers below talked to each other to discuss what positions they might get.
明 Li Mingyuan only talked about the establishment of four divisions, but only four divisions required hundreds of officers. The officers below, the South American Pacific Army was shortly established, and there was a large gap in officers, so the officers in the process did not have to worry about losing themselves.
"Everyone be quiet," Li Mingyuan reminded, the officers below calmed down.
"In addition to the four divisions, the remaining 18,000 people are temporarily placed under the direct command of the headquarters. There will also be a military competition starting tomorrow. The winning troops will be given priority in selecting soldiers."
"Saizi rest assured, 俺 Lao Chen's troops must be first." Chen Guozhu said.
"Who wouldn't know how to brag, Lao Chen lost too badly tomorrow, but don't blame me for not giving you face." Li Sandou opposed him.
国 Chen Guozhu and Li Sandou have been fighting for more than ten years, and it is not surprising that the military officers at UU Reading www.uukannsu.com are doing it.
"I want to remind you that we will not be able to conceal the occupation of the Patipirka Valley. Once the Peruvians get the news, they will definitely send troops to siege. So there is not much time for everyone. While these days the Peruvian army Before it comes, all the troops must speed up their training and try to let the newly recruited soldiers run through and form a combat effectiveness. "
"Shizi, there is nothing terrible to the Peruvians, and the Peruvians in Patipirka have not easily made us obliterate." A young peace officer said.
"What's your name?" Li Mingyuan stared at him.
"Qian Jianyu, deputy company commander of three companies in a humble camp"
"Have you participated in the Battle of Duraya?"
"No" Qian Jianyu said honestly.
Qian Jianyu joined the Taiping Army after the Duraya battle. I haven't played against the Peruvian regular army, so I don't know about the Peruvian army's combat power, weapons and equipment. I just think that the Peruvian army is as vulnerable as ordinary mine supervisors.
Li Mingyuan asked an officer next to Qian Jianyu to participate in the siege of Duraya and told him about the equipment of the Peruvian army. Qian Jianyu suddenly lost his confidence in speaking, and said, "Humble duty underestimates the strength of the Peruvian army. Punishment. "
"You can rise to the deputy company commander within a few days after joining the Taiping Army. You are also a capable person. Given that you do not understand the enemy's strength, you will not be punished this time, but you must not despise the enemy in the future."
I successfully captured Patipirka Valley and gave some Taiping Army an understatement. Qian Jianyu was just one of these people. Li Mingyuan beat him today to make the Taiping soldiers face the enemy and avoid military losses due to underpricing.
At the end of the meeting, Li Mingyuan reminded officers of all company levels and above to face the enemy correctly before meeting.
