Rebirth of South America as King

The next morning, Li Mingyuan was sleeping in the room originally belonging to Bohar, and suddenly a shout awakened him.

"Shizi, there is a fleet of ships on the sea." A new guard assigned to Li Wen shouted.

"I see," Li Mingyuan agitated from the bed, put on his coat and quickly walked towards the beach.

"Everyone put away their guns first, I'll talk to them." Li Mingyuan had just arrived at the beach and saw a team of Prussian soldiers coming down from the fleet, confronting the Taiping Army, and hurriedly stopped them.

"Shizi, it is too dangerous for you to go alone." Chen Guozhu protested loudly.

明 Li Mingyuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't want to negotiate with the Prussians, but most of his men didn't even know a few Chinese characters. How could they let them communicate with the Prussians.

"It doesn't matter, what they want is saltpeter. As long as you keep the mine, they won't take me." Li Mingyuan comforted everyone.

"Son son, isn't Anthony Prussian? Don't go, let me take him to negotiate with foreigners." Liu Pu thought of a Prussian in the captive, and said.

"I almost forgot Anthony." Li Mingyuan patted his head. When mercenaries were accustomed to the danger of going up, but now their status is different. The safety of Li Mingyuan alone has a bearing on the lives and deaths of more than 100,000 Chinese in South America. They can no longer take risks easily.

"Brother Liu Pu was right. I didn't think about it carefully. I had trouble with Brother Liu Pu to negotiate with foreigners on my behalf. Dashan, you take two brothers to protect Liu Pu's safety, and don't let Anthony think carefully." Li Mingyuan I honestly admit that I didn't think about it comprehensively, and arranged for manpower to go with Liu Pu.

朴 Liu Pu took Anthony on board and negotiated with the Prussians, while Li Mingyuan and his soldiers stood close to the sea to prevent foreigners from making bad moves.

After half an hour, Liu Pu and Wang Dashan walked out of the boat with a missionary beside them.

"Shizi, the Prussians basically agreed to trade with us, but specific details, you need to discuss with the missionary of Paul." Liu Pu came to Li Mingyuan and said,

"Hello, first student, I will discuss the details of the transaction with you on behalf of Colonel West." Pastor said.

"Thank you for your kind cooperation," Li Mingyuan said.

"Sir, do you even speak German?"

"Of course, I learned it with a German missionary when I was a kid." Li Mingyuan casually made an excuse.

Because Li Mingyuan speaks German, the following negotiations went smoothly. Li Mingyuan signed a contract with the missionary and began to unload the weapons on the ship and the saltpeter in the mine under the supervision of the soldiers on both sides.

"Please tell Colonel West that we are just a group of good Chinese workers who are seeking freedom, not cruel thugs. We sincerely hope to find a piece of land belonging to the Chinese and hope that when we have a foothold, we can also cooperate with the colonel." Seeing that the soldiers were unloading weapons, the Prussians had no tricks, Li Mingyuan said to the missionary.

当然 "Of course, God wish you good luck," said the missionary, drawing a cross on his chest. The missionary said this in his mouth. Actually, he did not take Li Mingyuan's words seriously. His task was only to help complete this transaction. As for the future, he should not worry about it.

明 Li Mingyuan took all the saltpeter and silver dollars out and traded with the Prussians, sweeping away more than half of the Prussian stockpiles of arms. Li Mingyuan originally wanted to buy the remaining arms, but the Prussians did not sell them.

The Prussians are not stupid. They sold all their arms to you. What should the fleet do when they encounter pirates at sea?

Send away the Prussian fleet, Li Mingyuan began to calculate the materials for this transaction.

A total of 2,000 shotguns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, ten machine guns, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and relatively few cannons, Li Mingyuan also bought three.

There are more weapons than Li Mingyuan expected. After arming the current 1,500 people, there will be a large surplus of muskets. Looking at the mountains of weapons piled up in front of him, Li Mingyuan laughed happily, with so many weapons With the Taiping Army under his command, it was not difficult to rescue other Chinese miners.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Li, and Uncle Zhang, you first lead the muskets of the musket camp."

"Observe, son," the three answered, and they couldn't wait to arrange for their soldiers to remove the weapons belonging to their respective battalions.

"Liu Pu, you carry the excess weapons into the warehouse,"

"Yes," Liu Pu said, and took a few soldiers to manage the musket to prevent other soldiers from taking more money.

Ten muskets and three cannons Li Mingyuan has not been assigned to three musket battalions. Machine guns and cannons are now strategic weapons. Li Mingyuan's baby is incredible. He intends to set up a machine gun platoon and an artillery platoon respectively, which are directly under the command of the regiment. The machine gun platoon is larger than the ordinary artillery corps. Three machine guns form a machine gun squad, each machine gun has a main shooter and two vice The shooter, plus a loader, requires a total of four people. In addition to the forty fighters, ten machine guns are also equipped with a squad of security personnel. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com adds up to sixty people, almost They are two platoons of ordinary troops. The main officer of the machine gun platoon is at the same level as the commander of the musket company. Feng Erhu, who is from the Li Mingyuan Guard, is the platoon leader.

The Ping Taiping Army is no stranger to artillery. The prince has been fighting in the Jiangnan area for more than ten years. He often fights foreigners. There are also many people using guns and cannons in the army.

明 Li Mingyuan knows that a Taiping veteran Luo Zhongguo, nicknamed Luo Cannon, has a good set of manipulation artillery, which makes him an artillery platoon leader.

After the soldiers at the three musket battalions received their respective weapons, Li Mingyuan asked someone to find Luo Zhongguo.

"Cannon, can you control this kind of cannon?" In the warehouse, Li Mingyuan pointed at the three new cannon lanes.

The eyes of Miluo Cannon immediately lightened, and he stroked the body with both hands, as if he saw a beautiful woman.

"Shizi, this is a Prussian six-pound cannon, the weight of the shell is five pounds, and the total weight of the cannon is 1,400 kilograms." Luo Cannon said, like several treasures.

"Very good, I am going to let you be the artillery platoon leader. Can you be confident?"

Miluo Cannon has not touched the cannon in three years. Seeing the newly produced cannon can quickly tell the performance of the cannon, Li Mingyuan is very satisfied.

"Saizi rest assured, give the cannon to Lao Luo, and promise to hit that."

"Very good, these three cannons are yours. Pick some brothers who can understand the artillery. After dinner, go to rescue the other brothers."

"Yes," Luo Cannon crooked a Taiping Army salute and trot out.

交易 Li Mingyuan and the Prussian trade not only bought arms, but also bought some meat. Tonight, they will attack other mining areas. Li Mingyuan is going to let the Taiping soldiers eat a big meal, eat a good meal, and the soldiers have a strong fight at night.
