Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 3: Occupy the mine

The hall of the Borja party is now changed to Li Mingyuan's temporary headquarters. Li Mingyuan carefully watched the map of southern Peru, frowning. Peru has a population of 10 million. The southern region is a Peruvian population area. It is very difficult to seize a piece of land in southern Peru.

明 Li Mingyuan knew from previous life that there are about 100,000 Chinese laborers in Peru. As long as they are all rescued, they can easily organize an army of tens of thousands.

The journey from the mainland to South America was difficult. Most of the poor Chinese workers died on the ship. Those who could come to South America alive were healthy young people. Among the more than 100,000 Chinese workers in Peru, there were probably more than 10,000 Pacific soldiers. All are young men. It is impossible to establish a country in Peru. Li Mingyuan set his sights elsewhere.

里奥 Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil is the southernmost province of Brazil.

The province of Rio Grande do Sul covers an area of ​​281,000 square kilometers. It faces the Atlantic Ocean in the east, Argentina in the west, and Uruguay in the south. East of the Uruguay River-vast land south of the Pelotas River. The north belongs to the Parana Plateau, with an average altitude of 600-900 meters; the south is gently rolling hills and plains; coastal sandy dunes and lagoons. The climate is mild and comfortable, with a good port, the most suitable place to build a country.

明 Li Mingyuan drew a circle on the map with a pen, and decided to use this place as the place of founding the country.

"Shizi, Uncle Chen and Uncle Li have arrived." Wang Xiaoshan came in and reported.

"Let them come in." Li Mingyuan put down his pen and turned around.

Shortly after Chen Guozhu and Li Sandou arrived, other important personnel of the Taiping Army also arrived.

After everyone arrived, Li Mingyuan said, "Liu Pu, let everyone know what you have tonight."

"Yes, Shizi" Liu Pu with a beautiful face came up with a list and said "Tonight we seized a total of 300 muskets, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, a heavy machine gun, 3,000 rounds. Two hundred long knives. Silver dollar 20,000. "

朴 Liu Pu finished putting away the list.

"My obedient, this old dog Borha is so rich." Chen Guozhu was surprised.

"What is the use of so much money, it is better to use a musket." Li Sandou has seen the power of muskets and machine guns, and touched a short gun on his waist.

呵 "Oh, money and muskets are good things." Li Mingyuan chuckled.

"Son, just now Anthony revealed that there will be a Prussian fleet here tomorrow." Wang Xiaoshan quietly told Li Mingyuan.

"Very good, some people will send pillows when they fall asleep." Li Mingyuan happy.

"Shizi, what is so happy?" Chen Guozhu curiously.

"" Tell everyone the good news. Tomorrow, a team of Prussian ships will arrive here. "Li Mingyuan said.

"Shizi, foreigners will not collude with Peruvians to besiege us." Li Sandou doubted.

"Oh, Uncle Li, don't worry. Prussians are preparing for war in Europe. They won't let the saltpeter in our hands. Don't hit us with the Peruvians."

Li Mingyuan knew in his heart that Prussia was preparing for the unification of Germany. In this connection, every material is important to them. Anyone can buy saltpeter. They will not give up a large number of saltpeter because of Li Mingyuan's status as a Chinese National People's Congress. .

"Liu Pu, how much saltpeter is there in the warehouse?" Li Mingyuan turned to ask.

有 A total of thirty thousand catties, Liu Pu replied.

"Three thousand pounds is enough," Li Mingyuan groaned.

"Shizi, the family members of Houying are arranged. What should we do next?" Liu Pu asked.

"How many brothers are there now?" Li Mingyuan looked up,

"In addition to the injured and sick, there are a total of 1,500 people." Liu Pu reported the number.

1,500 people in the later generations are on the scale of a regiment, but the shortcoming compared with the number is the serious lack of weapons. Peru has just independence from Spain for decades, and the domestic economy is very backward. All the weapons and equipment used by the army are imported from foreign countries. The muskets captured by Lun were all old equipment eliminated by European powers. Less than two hundred muskets can be used normally. Attacking the Peruvian army with these weapons will cost huge casualties even if they succeed. Li Wen regards 1,500 people as the foundation of South America. All the casualties feel pain, so he must be careful.

文 Li Wen considered it for more than ten minutes, and said, "Our weapons and equipment are not enough, and the brothers are exhausted. I decided to recuperate for a day and wait to receive new weapons before rescue other brothers."

The people in the hall heard that they didn't have to rush to attack other mines. They were relieved. They worked in the mines during the day and everyone was very tired. If they went to attack other mines now, many people would not be able to bear it.

各位 "Everyone, I am going to reorganize 1,500 people into a regiment according to the military establishment of foreigners. Do you have any comments?"

"I agree with Shizi's method. The kingdom of heaven has perished on the mainland. If we openly adopt the military establishment of the kingdom of heaven, it may attract the attention of the Manchu dynasty and bring us unnecessary trouble." Liu Pu first said,

"俺 Lao Chen has not read the book and does not understand the military establishment. As long as Shizi said, I support it." Chen Guozhu said loudly.

"Everything is arranged by the world." The first two Li Wen's close friends made a statement, and the Taiping Army officers and men in the back neatly joined together.

"Everyone agrees, so I will talk about the specific establishment," Li Wenli smoothed out his thoughts, and then said, "The new army is named the South American Chinese Independent Army. It currently has a regiment and I personally serve as the regiment leader. The new regiment includes One, two, three, three musket battalions, all musket battalions use muskets shipped tomorrow. There is also a teaching camp composed of elite soldiers, an investigation company, and a logistics supply company.

The whole regiment adopts a three-four system. There are twelve people in one group, thirty-six people in one row and three classes, 120 people in three platoons, and 550 people in four battalions. Except for the size of the teaching battalion, which is three hundred people, all other units are organized in this way. "

After sighing and finishing the compilation, Li Wen said, "There are different opinions, everyone can raise them."

"Shizi, according to your algorithm, 1,500 people make up a group." Li Sandou frowned.

"Let me explain to you that this kind of establishment is intended to be adopted in the future after we have established a foothold in South America. As for the problem of insufficient numbers, we are not dissatisfied with the compilation. The other auxiliary forces waited until the other brothers were rescued and added. "Li Wendao.

I solved the problem of establishment. Li Wen began to arrange everyone's position. The people standing in the hall were under the former servant of the king. There was no trouble to arrange it. Allen, the commander of the three musket battalions, planned to have Chen Guozhu, Li Sandou, and another Anping elderly Zhang Ansong. The teaching camp was run by Li Wen and the battalion commander. Li Wen was convinced that the gun was in the gun. All the soldiers had fought, and even Liu Bang, who was not so good in military affairs, spent most of his time in the battle.

The training camp is where Li Wen decided to train officers. As the battalion commander, he can not only teach soldiers to learn the military knowledge of his previous life, but also capture the soldier's loyalty. Once the soldiers from the training camp are devolved to ordinary troops to serve as junior officers Li Wen can then control grass-roots soldiers through them to ensure that the troops obey his command.

As for the important investigative company commander, Li Wen intends to let Wang Xiaoshan serve as a two-month military educator beside Li Wen and grow up in the Taiping Army Boys' Battalion from an early age. It was not difficult for Wang Xiaoshan to command a company.

In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company, Leven specially selected fifteen people from the fifty young guards trained to serve as grassroots squads and platoon leaders.

The other thirty-five people, Li Wen, were not retained, and all of them were sent to the musket camp to serve as officers. With the hands-on training of these grass-roots officers for two months, Li Wen believed that the newly established South American Chinese Independent Army would have stronger combat power.

Li Wen told his intentions to the people in the hall. Everyone agreed with Li Wen's suggestion that all officers were appointed and only waited for the arrival of the fleet tomorrow. After taking off the arms, they immediately formed the army.
