After discussing the problems exposed in the battle, Li Mingyuan began to prepare for the expansion of the army, and the Duraya mine rescued 3,200 Chinese laborers, of which more than 200 were weak and needed a certain period of recuperation, and the remaining 3,000 could join the army.

Except for the first few hundred Taiping Army family members, the Chinese laborers in South America are all young and middle-aged men, and there are almost no Chinese women, so the current Li Mingyuan does not have to worry about the drag of the old and weak, women and children, and can rest assured that he can reorganize the army.

With 3,000 miners and the original 1,500 Taiping Army, even if there were 200 casualties in this battle, there would be 4,300 troops, and 4,300 people could be reorganized into two regiments, but Li Mingyuan did not intend to do so.

Soon the Taiping army will attack other mines and plantations, and the number of Chinese troops will increase.

It is too troublesome to reorganize after each new Chinese worker, so Li Mingyuan plans to reorganize the army after the army grows in the future.

Now the newly joined Chinese laborers are mixed with the original Taiping Army, replacing the old with the new, and rapidly improving their combat effectiveness.

Before the reorganization, the first thing Li Mingyuan had to do was to expand the artillery, machine gunnery, and other technical arms.

Because of the capture of six heavy artillery pieces defended by the Peruvians, Li Mingyuan planned to organize a heavy artillery company alone, with a number of 120 people, plus more than 70 guns of different specifications in the Duraya warehouse, and expand it into an artillery battalion.

The newly formed artillery battalion had one heavy artillery company, two three-pounder batteries, two six-pounder batteries, one nine-pounder battery, and one company of 12 guns. A total of seventy-eight artillery pieces, numbering five hundred and seventy people.

Luo Cannon failed to kill the enemy's heavy artillery due to insufficient artillery range during the siege, but it performed very well when supporting the Taiping Army, so Li Mingyuan directly promoted him to artillery battalion commander.

In addition to retaining an expanded machine gun company, the other machine guns were distributed to the four musket battalions, and each battalion was increased by a machine gun platoon, and the number of musket battalions reached 610 after the full establishment was completed.

After the success of the first riot, Li Mingyuan planned to set up a special forces in the manner of the special forces of later generations.

However, because of the tight time and lack of manpower at that time, Li Mingyuan only gave a basic special operations explanation to the fifty guards around him.

Now that there are enough manpower, Li Mingyuan will naturally not waste the opportunity, in his plan, the original candidate for the commander of the special forces is Wang Xiaoshan,

However, this time Wang Xiaoshan made a mistake and was excluded by him, and after thinking about it carefully, Li Mingyuan prepared to let the new guard commander Zhao Yongzeng be the chief officer of the special forces.

Zhao Yongzeng is calm, bold and careful, so that he will not lead the special forces to make careless mistakes like Wang Xiaoshan.

The special forces are demanding, and Li Mingyuan does not have high expectations, and it is enough to select 50 people out of more than 4,000 people.

After the matter was arranged, Li Mingyuan left the council hall and went to Wang Xiaoshan's tent to visit him.

"Shizi, why are you here?" Wang Xiaoshan was lying on the bed, and when he saw Li Mingyuan walking in, he struggled to get up and salute.

"Don't get up, I brought you the golden medicine, lie down and I'll help you apply the medicine."

"Shizi, a little injury, it will be fine in a few days." Wang Xiaoshan said with a strong smile.

"Lie down if you want to lie down, do you dare not obey my orders?" Li Mingyuan pressed Wang Xiaoshan, who was about to get up, and took out a bottle of wound that he was going to apply on his back.

"Xiaoshan, negligence on the battlefield will not only harm yourself, but also drag down the entire army, punishing you today is to remind you not to make similar mistakes in the future, can you understand my intentions?"

Li Mingyuan said while applying trauma medicine,

"The son, it is his subordinates who have lived up to the expectations of the son." Li Mingyuan's behavior of smearing medicine on him made Wang Xiaoshan very moved, and he couldn't help but say red in the corners of his eyes.

"Hehe, a manly man bleeds without tears, don't let me look down on you." Li Mingyuan chuckled.

"Yes, Xiaoshan will definitely not disappoint Shizi in the future." Wang Xiaoshan said seriously.

"The medicine is ready, you can recuperate with peace of mind first, and then follow me to fight when the injury is healed." Li Mingyuan patted his body and said. ……

"Brother Luo, it's really good to follow the prince, the eldest brother just came to defect, and the prince made you the battalion commander, it seems that the prince thinks very highly of the big brother."

On the way back, one of Luo Linshan's subordinates spoke.

"Well, the prince treats his subordinates fairly and strictly, and his cronies will be punished if they make mistakes, and it is a clear way to follow the prince." Luo Linshan nodded.

"I have heard from others that the Son of the World was summoned by the Heavenly Father two months ago, and since then, the Son of the World has become different, not only has he become very powerful, but he is not even an opponent in the war."

"Maybe." Although he joined the Taiping Army, Luo Linshan did not believe in the worship of God, so he was ambiguous.

Two days later, in a large plantation in Peru,

A Chinese worker looked at the young man next to him and asked curiously, "Brother, are you new here?" How come I haven't seen you before,"

"Brother, come and talk." The young man pulled the Chinese worker to a hidden place and whispered, "Big brother, didn't you hear the wind?" ”

"What's the wind?"

"His Royal Highness the King of 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 laborers."

"Don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness has been dead for three years, and Lao Tzu was the Taiping Army back then."

"The eldest brother is also a Taiping Army, then we are a family, we can't hide it, Sun Qisheng, the squad leader of the Taiping Army, was ordered by the prince to come to inquire about the news."

"Shizi? Which son? The man was shocked.

"Of course, it's the only son of His Royal Highness the King." Sun Qisheng said with a look of adoration, and then told the man what had happened recently.

"The sky is endless, my Taiping Army, I can't imagine that there will be a successor to His Royal Highness the King, and he will make a big noise here." The man sighed.

"Brother, the prince of the world led people to attack the plantation tonight, are you willing to serve the prince."

"Needless to say, Lao Tzu has been waiting for this day for a long time."

At night, the Chinese workers, who had been asleep, gathered together to plan big things.

"Zhang Song, Zhou Qiang, have you taken out the weapon?"

"Twenty muskets, thirty long knives have arrived."

"Okay, brothers, the brothers of the Taiping Army are waiting outside, as long as we take the city gate and let the Taiping Army enter the city, we can be free, do you dare to do it?"

"Listen to Brother Sun, let's also follow the son of the world to fight the world." The Chinese workers on the side said emotionally.

"This is a weapon that we smuggled in, and our brother with good skills came forward to collect it." Sun Qisheng pointed to the weapons stacked together.

The surrounding Chinese workers rushed up, but they snatched up their weapons in just two minutes.

"The brother with the weapon is in front, and now everyone will follow me to take the city gate."

Sun Qisheng greeted and took the lead towards the city gate.
