Chapter 365: After the War

After the first battle, Bao Chao returned to the army with a smile.

"King Dong, his subordinates have returned victoriously, and they have brought you the head of the white Peruvian officer, and according to the captive, he is still the mayor of the city of Aya." Bao Chao led a captured reed horse, with the head of Mayor Oro still hanging on the stirrup, and walked to Yang Xiaoshan to report.

"How's it going? It's pretty hearty, isn't it? Yang Xiaoshan smiled, although there were some small twists and turns, but the first battle in this Peruvian country was a big victory, which was still very exciting.

"It's not bad, five carts of military rations and forty-six military horses were captured, but unfortunately half of them were injured and couldn't be used, so they could only be killed and eaten meat." Bao Chao said and pointed to the reed-haired horse next to him, "This Peruvian horse is really tall, much more than our domestic horses, how much food do you have to eat." ”

"There are no horses on the American continent, these horses are brought by the Spaniards from Europe and bred last, looking at this color and appearance, it is estimated that they are the descendants of the Andalusian horse in Spain, and it is an excellent horse breed crossed between the native horse of the Iliban Peninsula and the Arabian horse of North Africa." Yang Xiaoshan knew a little about this, and the most important thing that European medieval knights wanted to own was an Andalusian horse.

"King Dong, what are you talking about, I don't understand a word, what Anda and what West Asia?" Bao Chao was dazed when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Lao Wu, even if Lao Wu was a very knowledgeable person in everyone's opinion, he didn't understand at all, just like him. However, Lao Wu and the others are not surprised, in their opinion, Yang Xiaoshan has the ability to understand the sky, and it is normal to say some incomprehensible heavenly words.

Yang Xiaoshan smiled awkwardly, he sometimes forgot that he was a traverser, since he had been in this world for so many days, he had completely integrated with this era.

"Not to mention horses, how many muskets and bullets have been captured?" Yang Xiaoshan changed the subject.

"It's a lot, it's full of several large boxes, and I haven't counted them yet, but it's 。。。。。。" Bao Chao paused.

"But what?" Yang Xiaoshan asked.

Bao Chao frowned, turned around and made a gesture with his right hand, and a guard handed over the musket that had just been captured.

"The muskets of the Peruvian army are really old, and the butts are almost rotten when you look at them, I'm afraid they have been for more than ten years. The style is old, I just tried it, and it's hard to pinpoint. Bao Chao shook his head and sighed.

Yang Xiaoshan nodded, in the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, both the Taiping army and the Qing soldiers used the most advanced firearms in this era. A musket of 10 taels of silver on the market could be sold for 100 taels on the Tianjing black market, and arms dealers from Britain, France, and other countries went crazy to sell the latest firearms from all over the world to China.

So a small country like Peru, which has been in peacetime for a long time, has too backward gun models. Originally, Yang Xiaoshan thought that the equipment of the Peruvian military would be better, but he didn't expect it to be worse than the security team of the mine.

"Old Wu, you follow Marshal Bao to count the supplies, enrich the holy treasury, and give Marshal Bao another two hundred muskets." Although Yang Xiaoshan didn't plan to equip Bao Chao with a musket so early, he should be rewarded for his meritorious service, and he couldn't let the meritorious man be wronged.

"Thank you, King Dong." Bao Chaoxi smiled, and he was able to get a musket, which is why Yang Xiaoshan doesn't treat them as outsiders.

Bao Chao and Wu Ruxiao went down to count the seized materials.

"Meet the King of the East." Wang Dabang was both ashamed and a little scared in his voice, he didn't fight the battle, and he knew it himself.

Yang Xiaoshan sat on the chair and looked at Wang Dabang silently, his face was heavy, and there was no trace of a smile.

"The battle was not fought well, and several brothers died, and the king of the east was asked to punish him." Seeing Yang Xiaoshan's expression, Wang Dabang was even more frightened in his heart, and pleaded guilty in his mouth, but actually wanted Dongwang to let him go.

Yang Xiaoshan frowned, and said in a reproachful tone: "Although it is the first time you go to the battlefield, as a general, you can't lead your brothers to charge and enter the enemy formation, and you can't calmly observe the enemy's dynamics and enter the enemy's encirclement. The casualties of our army are basically caused by your improper command. ”

"Wang is guilty of living up to the earnest teachings of the king of the east. Let the king of the east dispose of it, if he wants to kill or chop, his subordinates dare not have any complaints. Before the war, Yang Xiaoshan told Wang Dabang and several other Fujianese heads about some battlefield experience and arranged some tactics. It's a pity that these people forgot about it as soon as they went to the battlefield, and Wang Dabang's posture was very low, which was actually a kind of retreat as advance.

Yang Xiaoshan's expression was solemn, and he stood up abruptly and walked in front of Wang Dabang. Frightened, Wang Dabang instinctively retreated again and again, thinking that Yang Xiaoshan really wanted to kill him.

Although Yang Xiaoshan hated iron and steel, it was impossible to kill Wang Dabang because of this, but he was quite disappointed and said: "Forget it, people will always make mistakes, I hope you will learn a lesson in the future, train your troops diligently, and you go back to the rear army." ”

After listening to this, Wang Dabang looked relieved, and quickly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you King Dong, my subordinates will go back to train the army." ”

After Wang Dabang went out, Li Shixian on the side couldn't help but interject: "King Dong, this guy is not the material to lead troops at all, how can such a person be a military commander, how can he serve the public, I am afraid that the more he practices, the worse he will be." His subordinates volunteered to help him train his troops, can the East King agree? ”

Yang Xiaoshan nodded and shook his head and said: "His soldiers really have to be trained well, but you have such a hot temper, and you don't have a serious mouth, I'm afraid that the soldiers will have to fight if they don't practice." ”

"Gu Wang Lao Wu is okay, his soldiers are too bad to fight at all." Li Shixian said anxiously.

"No, King Gu is in charge of the Holy Treasury, he also takes care of the Chinese army for me, and he is still teaching me Spanish, how can he have time." Yang Xiaoshan relies on Wu Ruxiao very much, although he is old and not as brave as a young man, but he is old, meticulous, cultured, clear thinking, loyal to himself, and Yang Xiaoshan is really inseparable from him in logistics.

"What then? If this continues, sooner or later, Wang Dabang's rear army will drag us back. Li Shixian muttered in his mouth, looking angry.

"Let Feng Zicai go, you can pass on a message to him for me, and let him help Wang Dabang train his troops." Yang Xiaoshan thought of Feng Zicai, he was like a tiger on the battlefield, but he was usually a stuffy gourd, and he rarely spoke like a big girl. But Yang Xiaoshan is very relieved of him, this person is very stable and a trustworthy person.

"Order." Li Shixian was slightly disappointed and prepared to give the order.

"Shixian, wait a minute, I have something important for you to do." Yang Xiaoshan called back Li Shixian and said in an extremely deep voice.

Li Shixian immediately turned around with a smile on his face.

"After this war, we will inevitably attract the attention of the Peruvian government, and I expect that our purge will come soon. We can't be careless, now we only have a stronghold of the mine is very dangerous, I have observed the terrain these days, and picked a few places that are both hidden and suitable for us to live in, and you take some old brothers who are tight to build a temporary camp in case of emergency. Yang Xiaoshan took out a simple topographic map and clicked on the upper circles.

"Okay!" Li Shixian was a little excited, which showed that Dongwang still attached great importance to himself, and he still left confidential matters to himself.

"Remember, you must keep it secret, and you must pick a trusted brother." Yang Xiaoshan emphasized again.

"No problem, it's all on me." Li Shixian took the map in Yang Xiaoshan's hand and smiled happily.
