Two days later, in front of the city gate of Arequipa, Liu Pu and a group of senior generals of the Independent Army stood in front of the city gate to welcome Li Mingyuan's return.

"Chief of Staff Liu, did the prince really get a large sum of gold back?" Wu Feipeng, the captain of the broadsword, asked.

"Yes, you will see it when the prince comes back soon." Liu Pu said with a smile.

The news that Li Mingyuan found gold under the guidance of the Heavenly Father has been spread throughout the Chinese Independence Army in the past two days.

Because of the first message from the Father's dream, the soldiers of the Independence Army quickly believed it,

There is no doubt about the transfer to southern Brazil as directed by the Father, and now the soldiers of the Independence Army are anxious not to settle in Balangca, but when to transfer to southern Brazil.

From the soldiers who came back early, I learned that there were fewer people in southern Brazil and more land, and each Chinese soldier could share 1,000 acres of land after arriving there.

What is the concept of 1,000 acres of land, it is very clear to the Chinese workers who are mostly farmers.

In the continental plains, a small village adds up to only five or six hundred acres of land, and one thousand acres of land is the land area of two villages.

Hearing the words of the returning soldiers, all the soldiers of the Chinese Independent Army were boiling, and a thousand acres of land was enough for a Chinese to become a big landlord.

"Chief of Staff, is it true that the matter of dividing the land has the prince told you?" Wu Feipeng asked like a curious baby.

No way, land is of great significance to Chinese, whether it was before or now, once the Chinese have money, the first thing they think of is to buy land.

The Chinese are industrious farming people, and they are born with a sense of intimacy with the land, but because of 5,000 years of development and population reproduction, the land and soil on the mainland are more degraded, and even less land is allocated to everyone.

"The prince discussed this matter with me before he set off, the province of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil covers an area of 281,000 square kilometers, almost twice the size of Shandong Province, but the population is only 40,000, and when we get there, each person occupies a thousand acres of land and there is still a lot of land left?"

After the Battle of Arequipa, Li Mingyuan discussed with Liu Pu, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers to transfer to southern Brazil, before leaving Peru, the news that each ordinary soldier would get a thousand acres of land was distributed.

So Li Mingyuan found the treasure and went to southern Brazil without worries, and Li Mingyuan and Liu Pu spread the news together.

"Chief of Staff, ordinary soldiers can get a thousand acres of land, so how much can I, the captain of the broadsword, share?" Wu Feipeng looked at Liu Pu longingly.

"Captain Wu, of course it's a thousand acres of land." Liu Pu said with a smile.

Liu Pu smiled lightly, but Wu Feipeng couldn't laugh.

"Chief of Staff Liu, why is my land so small, ordinary soldiers are 1,000 acres of land, and I, the captain of the broadsword, are also 1,000 acres, so isn't my previous credit in vain?"

"Haha, Captain Wu, don't be in a hurry to get angry, listen to me finish speaking."

Liu Pu was in a good mood today, and he rarely teased Wu Feipeng, and when he saw that Wu Feipeng was really angry, he immediately stopped teasing him.

"It is true that officers and soldiers have a thousand acres of land each before they set out, and this thousand acres of land belongs entirely to the individual soldier and can be bought and sold freely, but in addition to the thousand acres of land, the prince will also reward the land according to the rank and meritorious service."

"That's pretty much it, by the way, what's the rank?" Wu Feipeng nodded and asked again.

"The military rank is the title set by the prince for officers, just like the official positions of hundreds of households and thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty."

Moving into southern Brazil required a long-distance march, and the current loose command system could hardly meet the operational requirements of the march, so Li Mingyuan decided to systematically reorganize the troops before the transfer. And this reorganization will be used as a model to lay down the country's main national defense force system in the future.

Liu Pu and Wu Feipeng asked and answered, and when they were chatting hotly, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

"The prince is back."

Excited soldiers shouted in front of the city gates.

In the middle of the desert ahead, Li Mingyuan and more than a dozen cavalry first appeared in everyone's sight, and then thousands of carriages gradually appeared. Li Mingyuan rode slowly in front of the convoy, and the fiery sunset reflected on him, adding a touch of mystery.

"Heavenly Father bless, long live the Son." Under the sunset, Li Mingyuan's posture was like a god of war coming out of the sun, and the soldiers who greeted him in shock knelt down on the mountain and shouted long live.

At this moment, Li Mingyuan was no longer a mortal in the eyes of the Chinese soldiers, but a god assigned by the Heavenly Father to save them.

Li Mingyuan looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, although he used his Heavenly Father to deceive the Chinese soldiers, but he did not regret it,

In the desperate situation where the South American Chinese are surrounded by enemies, there is no so-called Heavenly Father to save the people who believe in him, so Li Mingyuan is willing to pretend to be the god in the hearts of the South American Chinese and lead them out of the desperate situation to establish a new Chinese heavenly kingdom.

Liu Pu knelt on the ground like other soldiers, he didn't believe in the tricks of the Heavenly Father, but Li Mingyuan used the Heavenly Father to maintain people's hearts, and he was not easy to question.

Liu Pu's mood at this time was very contradictory, he didn't need to look up, he could imagine the expressions of the Chinese soldiers,

The soldiers' reverence for Li Mingyuan became indelible from this moment.

Li Mingyuan has completely mastered the Chinese troops, and if there are people who oppose Li Mingyuan's transfer to southern Brazil when he occupies Balangca, maybe a small half of the soldiers will follow,

But from now on, if anyone even says bad things about Li Mingyuan, they will be beaten to death by the soldiers around them, let alone inciting soldiers to rebel.

Li Mingyuan is young and kind, and when ordinary soldiers are injured, he will shush and ask for warmth, and when carrying the gold, Li Mingyuan personally carried the gold to the car.

Therefore, Li Mingyuan's image in the hearts of the soldiers is plump and alive.

Unlike the previous Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, who was as high as the two in contrast, the soldiers treated Li Mingyuan as the real Heavenly Father's chosen one, while Hong Xiuquan became a failure.

The soldiers' fanatical belief in Li Mingyuan was exactly what Liu Pu feared.

Liu Pu was worried that Li Mingyuan would become arrogant because of the soldiers' fanatical beliefs and would not listen to the advice of others.

The overconfident rulers never came to a good end, and although the Chinese Independence Army won successive battles, the Chinese were still rootless in South America, unable to withstand the blows, and a careless defeat in the process of transfer could lead to the destruction of the entire army.

Liu Pu knelt on the ground and thought about it again and again, and finally decided to talk to Li Mingyuan at night and tell him about his worries.

"Brothers, rise quickly, all brothers and sisters in heaven are equal. I declare that from now on, the kneeling ceremony will be abolished, "Li Mingyuan doesn't know what Liu Pu thinks in his heart, and he is still using the means to win people's hearts.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom called for equality for all, but in fact it was still a set of feudal rule, not only did the lower officials have to bow down when they saw the upper officials, but there were still many inequalities between ordinary Taiping soldiers and officers.

Absolute fairness is the greatest injustice, and Li Mingyuan has not thought of promoting outright egalitarianism, but insulting etiquette such as kneeling and bowing, Li Mingyuan still wants to abolish it.

Self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-improvement, what Li Mingyuan wants to build is a new country full of vigor and self-improvement. All the bad dregs of degrading and enslaving education must be abolished and changed.

There is still some time before the founding of the country, but according to the reaction of the soldiers today, Li Mingyuan can no longer wait to carry out his plan in southern Brazil, and he intends to carry out a new education for the soldiers for some time before he is transferred.
