In just three days, the People's Army Central Government was officially established. After another three days, all the officials selected from the six counties took office, and the central government began to perform its functions.

The newly established central government is actually very simple. Fang Nan did not divide many departments such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, and Taxation in a modern way. It only established six departments: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Industry.

The most important reason is that the People's Army is too young and few people are able to serve as the head of a ministry. Everyone is growing rapidly. When the People's Army occupy a province, Fangnan will expand the six ministries to more than a dozen ministries and subdivide their responsibilities.

In the current Central Government of the People's Army, Zhao Hong is the Minister of Personnel, Ding Wei is the Minister of Revenue, Cheng Xinyuan is the Minister of Rites, Hu Zhuang is the Minister of War, Shen Minghui is the Minister of Punishment, and Wang Mu is the Minister of Works. As Fang Nan's deputy, Zhou Lei's position is the Secretary-General.

Six ministers and one secretary-general, seven are all students of Fang Nan, and eight people form the core of the People's Army.

At present, Hu Zhuang led troops outside to fight, and Fang Nan was mainly responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War. For the current People's Army, the importance of the Ministry of War is almost equal to that of the other five departments. Without an army, the People's Army would not be able to gain a foothold in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The Secretary-General is for the prime minister, prime minister, cabinet chief minister, etc. Generally, the matters reported below are sent to various departments according to the category, and the small matters are solved directly, and the big matters are given solutions and then sent to Fang Nan for approval. When encountering matters that need to be resolved together, they are handed over to the Secretary-General, and the Secretary-General coordinates various departments to solve them.

It can be said that the Secretary-General and six ministers can form a small cabinet, but the People's Army is still relatively weak and is still early to the founding of the country, so the cabinet is still unreasonable.

The People's Army Central Government has begun to operate, and the territory of the six counties is also rapidly integrating into a whole, indirectly increasing the strength of the People's Army.

In the territory of the People's Army, many troops have begun to be mobilized, especially in Longchuan County and the former location of the Qianhu District of Haifeng. The First Mixed Brigade and the Second Mixed Brigade are gathering quickly and will go to war at the date of departure.

Just as the People's Army was about to expand, the memorial of Guangdong Governor Wu Wenhua was almost sent to the capital.

When he learned that there was a rioter in Guangdong, he defeated the 20,000 Ming troops who surrounded and suppressed the rioters. Such information only caused little noise in the court.

The People's Army currently has a small scope of activities, only in most parts of Huizhou Prefecture and small parts of Chaozhou Prefecture. Simply put, it is to plunder a place of a prefecture. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many riots in plunder a place of a prefecture, which is not enough to shock the court.

If the People's Army swept across a province and had a huge impact on the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible.

In the memorial, Wu Wenhua described the strength of the People's Army only as "more than 10,000 troops and equipped with many firearms". Such rioters looked down on the adults in the capital at all, and at most they were surprised by the death of tens of thousands of Ming troops.

However, there were several officials who were hostile to Wu Wenhua and asked Emperor Zhu Yijun (22 years old) to punish Wu Wenhua, but some officials in the same camp or better than Wu Wenhua were opposed.

In the end, Zhu Yijun decided to put the punishment of Wu Wenhua aside and make a decision after the rioters were wiped out. However, Ren Jianxiu, who had defeated the war, was not let go and was removed from his post as general of Ren Jianxiu.

Zhu Yijun directly approved the report for Wu Wenhua's request to transfer 10,000 troops from Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian.

Huguang, Jiangxi and Fujian each had 10,000 troops. Guangdong itself mobilized another 2,000 troops and 30,000 troops. The Ming army would dispatch 5,000 or 60,000 troops to launch a second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army.

Soon, Zhu Yijun's approval and orders to leave the capital and send it to the three governors in Guangdong and surrounding areas.

Guangzhou is four thousand miles in a straight line from Beijing. This time, it will take at least half a month to go away. It is expected that the People's Army will launch an attack on the target by then.

Here the first mixed brigade and the second mixed brigade are preparing to go on the expedition, while on the other hand, He Yan's third mixed brigade has already made moves.

When Wu Wenhua learned that Ren Jianxiu had suffered a defeat in Huizhou Prefecture City, he immediately dropped a battalion of three thousand soldiers and rushed to Huizhou Prefecture City for support.

Without much baggage, the Ming army in this battalion had arrived at Huizhou Prefecture City for five days. With the addition of these 3,000 soldiers and horses, more than 8,000 Ming troops gathered in Huizhou Prefecture City area. Among them, the previous defeated soldiers had recovered some morale after a few days.

With eight thousand soldiers in his hand, Ren Jianxiu still stayed honestly in the Huizhou Prefecture area. At most, he sent spies to investigate the situation of the People's Army in Guishan County and did not dare to march to Guishan County again.

In Ren Jianxiu's view, the previous 15,000 troops were defeated by the People's Army, and now there are only 8,000 people left, so it is even less likely to be the opponent of the People's Army. The key is to defend Huizhou Prefecture.

The Ming army in the Huizhou Fucheng area remained unmoved, but the Third Mixed Brigade of the People's Army stationed in Guishan County took action. Taking advantage of the night, He Yan led three infantry companies of the firearms and two battalions of the cold weapon troops to leave Guishan County and headed west into the mountains and forests.

It is difficult to be discovered by Ming spies in the mountains and forests. He Yan led his troops to explore Huizhou Prefecture City.

This time, He Yan had two purposes. One was to find an opportunity to destroy the Ming cavalry troops in the Huizhou Fucheng area, and the other was to find an opportunity to eliminate more Ming troops.

He Yan's third mixed brigade has transferred two companies of the firearms and two battalions of the cold weapons troops to Hu Zhuang's second mixed brigade, and its strength has dropped a lot. If tens of thousands of Ming troops attack, the third mixed brigade may not be able to fight.

This time, He Yan led his troops to attack. In fact, the most fundamental purpose was to deter the Ming army in Huizhou Fucheng area, so that they would not dare to act rashly, and just stay in Huizhou Fucheng area honestly.

Obviously, killing is a deterrence.

After leaving Guishan County at night, the Ming army spies didn't know that there was a missing group of the People's Army in Guishan County, just thinking that the People's Army did not move.

For most Ming troops in the Huizhou Fucheng area, this is equivalent to good news. At least they don’t have to fight with the People’s Army. The last battle was afraid of them. Many people no longer want to fight with the People’s Army. In the last battle, too many colleagues died. The last time they did not die, and the next time it might be their turn.

Morale is a very important thing for the army. If the morale of the army is weak, it may only be one-tenth of the casualties, which will cause deserters or even defeats the army.
