Chapter 363: Officially Establishing the Army

The hottest summer is almost over, and these days the Juan mine has taken on a new look, and Yang Xiaoshan considers that he is not familiar with the place where he lives in Peru, so it is not suitable to move to other areas for the time being. In addition, there are many resources in the mine, some daily necessities, tools, machines, houses, etc., and it is most suitable to use this place as a temporary base at present.

Notices of the Taiping Army were posted everywhere in the mine.

1. We must abide by the decree of heaven.

2. There is no crime with the locals, and there is no forgiveness for anyone who steals, kills, burns, takes drugs, or commits adultery.

3. Work together and retreat from the battle.

4. No property shall be concealed privately, and all proceeds shall be used by the Holy Treasury for public use.

Yang Xiaoshan basically followed the previous practice of the Taiping Army. The only difference is that he didn't live in a better room alone, but still ate and lived with everyone, and didn't engage in specialization.

The best house in the mine, Di Mali's room, was converted into a conference room of the military department, which was used for studying military intelligence and assigning tasks.

All the brothers changed into clothes that were in a hurry and neat, because the conditions were limited, they were all changed from the original work clothes, but the word "Taiping" was embroidered on the back, and the ordinary soldiers were replaced with brand new red turbans, and the officers wore yellow turbans.

After some cleaning, the original black mine was cleaned, and the Spanish words that were originally incomprehensible were replaced with Chinese character prompts.

Yang Xiaoshan considered that most of the original miners did not know how to use muskets, and now the bullets and guns at hand are not enough, so if you want to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, you still have to use knives, guns and sticks. Therefore, he ordered some of his soldiers who could work as blacksmiths to use the machines in the mining area to build cold weapons for combat day and night.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry about resources in the mine, and soon the first batch of Taiping knives and Taiping spears were manufactured and delivered to the hands of the soldiers.

In addition to weapons, the banners of the Taiping army were also rushed out, and the golden Dongwang flag on the red side of the tooth was planted all over the mine, crackling and whirring in the autumn wind on the mountain.

Yang Xiaoshan was determined to rest his troops here first, and to reorganize and train the newly established Taiping Army. According to the structure of the Taiping Army, he named Bao Chao and Wang Dabang as military commanders, each leading an army, which was the front army and the rear army; He also led an army himself, which was the Chinese army. He also promulgated the "Taiping Regulations" to strictly enforce the military discipline and military discipline of the Taiping Army.

Today is the day when the Taiping Army officially became an army, and everyone in the square lined up to attend, and the momentum was huge.

The sun shines on the eastern horizon, and the bright red turbans merge into a sea of red like a jumping torch. The spears, broadswords, and muskets in their hands were all tightly held in the hands of the warriors, waiting for the presence of Yang Xiaoshan, the king of the east.

The war drums were beating, the trombone was loud, and a golden flag had arrived in the square, with a red background with gold edges, embroidered with a dragon, and its claws raised in anger. On the banner, there is a line of small golden letters: "Yang of the East King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”

All the military commanders and division commanders stepped forward to greet them, and Yang Xiaoshan, surrounded by everyone, climbed onto the temporary high platform. With a smile on his face, he said in a firm tone: "Brothers, today is the day when we officially rebuild the Taiping Army. We reorganized the team, and it didn't matter if the new brothers were not used to the names of army commanders, division commanders, and brigade commanders. The important thing is that our Taiping Army should play the prestige of our Chinese in this Peruvian country, whether it was an old brother, a Qing army, or a flat-headed common people, here we are all Chinese, and by no means cheap coolies in their eyes! ”

The square was filled with cheers, echoing in the sky. From Yang Xiaoshan's broad forehead and blazing eyes, everyone has regained their national self-esteem, and they can no longer be enslaved coolies, and they must hold their heads high and be human beings from now on.

"All armies lead the flag!"

The drums of war rose again, and Yang Xiaoshan awarded the front, middle and rear armies to Bao Chao, Wu Ruxiao, and Wang Dabang in the audience. The three of them waved the flags in their hands to the audience, and suddenly all kinds of flags in the square were waving in the wind, covering the sky and the sun, and the majestic wind of heaven came back.

As soon as the flag awarding ceremony ended, Li Shixian led people back from the bottom of the mountain. He muttered a few words in Yang Xiaoshan's ear.

Yang Xiaoshan sneered, and whispered in his mouth: "They are only here now, this action is really slow enough, we have just finished the ceremony here." Now I will lead the troops down the mountain with you to meet the Peruvian government army. ”

=============

Although Di Mali went to the mayor of Oro to report the Chinese coolie riot at the mine the day after the accident, the Peruvian government was surprisingly slow in its efficiency.

On the one hand, Di Mari was in a hurry, while Mayor Oro was not surprised, there were many vendettas of indigenous Indian tribes in the mountains these years, and the government did not care about it at all. As long as there is no accident in the city, the government should not know.

However, after all, the mining factory is the property of the big boss Juan, who is a heavyweight member of the parliament in the capital Lima, and his energy is very large. Mayor Oro decided to make a move when he learned about this relationship, not to mention that Di Mari usually has a lot of filial piety, and if he changes to someone else, our Mayor Oro will not pay attention to it at all.

Aya is a small town with a small government staff, and Oro is both the mayor and the local sheriff. He first transferred 300 men from the local garrison to go to the mine to arrest people.

Di Mali felt that there were too few people, and he was deeply impressed by Yang Xiaoshan and others, and learned from the employees who had fled back that these new Chinese coolies had been soldiers in China before. At Di Mali's pleading, Mayor Oro sent another 300 men from the police force, a total of 600, to the Juan mine with muskets.

"Lord Mayor, can you gather a few hundred more people, these Chinese miners are not simple. We can't afford to underestimate the enemy. Di Mari accompanied Oro out of Aya City, and when he saw that there were only six hundred people, he felt a little uneasy.

"Manager Di, you are stupid by those Chinese coolies, think that when I followed my father and brothers to attack Aya City, there were only more than a thousand people, to catch the sheep-like Chinese in your factory, these six hundred people are enough. I was fully prepared, and you can see that there are more than 2,000 hands of handcuffs in the cart behind me. "Mayor Oro's impression of the Chinese is that they are weak and deceitful, and he thinks that Di Mari is making a big fuss.

Di Mali looked at the old mayor in his sixties, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to think about the appearance of a battlefield hero back then. But forty years have passed since the battle to overthrow the Spanish colonists, and his soldiers are all peace soldiers, and their lazy posture is even inferior to his own security team. Di Marie couldn't help but shake his confidence in this operation.

As we got closer to Juan's mine, Di Maari's mind became more and more uneasy. There was no movement of the Chinese on the road, and what they were doing was not known on their side.

"Chinese, Chinese!" Suddenly there was a commotion in the early part.
