Guangzhou City was just captured by the Third Mixed Brigade of the People's Army, and He Yan was not in a hurry to carry out other tasks given to him by Teacher Fang Nan. On the one hand, the Third Mixed Brigade needed some rest after the war, and on the other hand, it was to clear Guangzhou City and remove various hidden dangers as much as possible. After all, for a long time to come, Guangzhou City will be the location of the People's Army's central government.

The main purpose of clearing Guangzhou City was to search for the powerful, wealthy, gentry and merchants who committed evil. After the initial determination of the list of evildoers, He Yan immediately sent several teams to start the house search.

Compared with Yong'an County, when Haifeng County was searching for wealthy families, the difficulty of raiding houses in Guangzhou City has not increased much. The guards of wealthy families have been recruited to defend the city, and each family has very few escorts, and there is no strength to resist the People's Army's search team.

The resistance is not strong, but the house search team encountered other troubles. Many people on the list were not at home at all and had already been hiding in ordinary residential areas. Guangzhou City is so big that it would not be impossible to find someone to hide.

The more appropriate method is to quickly support the people's hearts and gain the support of ordinary people in Guangzhou City, and then these ordinary people spontaneously report suspicious people to the People's Army.

A small number of wealthy families have never bullied the people. They learned that the People's Army would not search their houses, but when they saw other powerful families being searched one by one, these people were also scared. The door of the mansion was closed and hid in the room and shivered.

Only those who want to join the People's Army, such as Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, are open to welcome the People's Army.

After a brief rest in Guangzhou City, on December 25, the day after the New Year, a firearms unit was left in Guangzhou City with two and a half regiments of the Cold Weapons unit. He Yan led most of the Third Mixed Weapons to leave Guangzhou City.

After leaving Guangzhou City, the troops led by He Yan were immediately divided into two parts. One part had only more than 2,000 people, led by Deputy Brigade Commander Xu Gang, and went straight to the southwest to take the important town of Foshan; the other part had more than 13,000 people, led by He Yan himself, marched westward to Zhaoqing Prefecture.

After receiving news of Guangzhou City asking for help, several Ming troops from all over the eastern and western parts of Guangzhou rushed to rescue, but they did not expect that Guangzhou City was captured by the People's Army first.

Faced with the fallen Guangzhou City, the reinforcements did not know whether to continue to advance or retreat, but in the end, two Ming troops gathered in Zhaoqing Prefecture. In addition, some of the Ming troops in Zhaoqing Prefecture itself, the number of Ming troops in the entire Zhaoqing Prefecture was as high as 8,000, which was more than the previous Guangzhou City defenders.

Of course, the eight thousand Ming army in Zhaoqing Prefecture is incomparable to the six thousand Ming army in Guangzhou City. A considerable number of the six thousand Ming army are elite.

As for the troops of the third mixed brigade, the number of casualties exceeded 3,000 during the attack on Guangzhou City. However, some Ming troops surrendered and were mixed into the third mixed brigade after preliminary screening, which slightly restored the strength of the third mixed brigade.

There is no big problem with the 13,000 People's Army in Zhaoqing Prefecture. Even if these 8,000 Ming troops are defending Zhaoqing Prefecture City, as long as the city gate is not completely blocked, the Third Mixed Brigade does not need to pay a higher price than when attacking Guangzhou City, and can take over Zhaoqing Prefecture City.

As the People's Army continued to attack cities and land in Guangdong, Ming troops were destroyed. The Ming army, which originally had a force of about 100,000, is now only about 30,000. If these 30,000 Guangdong Ming troops gathered together, the People's Army must gather more than 20,000 troops to defeat them.

But now, the remaining 30,000 Guangdong Ming army are scattered, with 8,000 people in Zhaoqing Prefecture and more than 5,000 people in Qiongzhou Prefecture far away from the mainland. He Yan and the People's Army can eat the remaining Guangdong Ming army at a bite.

On the afternoon of the afternoon when most of the third mixed brigade left Guangzhou City, Xu Gang's troops arrived in Foshan Town, and captured Foshan Town almost effortlessly, gaining a large number of craftsmen.

With the importance of Foshan Town, it was originally protected by thousands of elite Ming troops, but because the Third Mixed Brigade of the People's Army was preparing to attack Guangzhou City, Wu Wenhua transferred most of Foshan's defenders to Guangzhou City.

On the morning of December 27, Fang Nan rushed to Guangzhou City first.

The People's Army Central Government is still on the road and has not followed the officials of the Third Mixed Brigade. The People's Military Government has not yet been established in Guangzhou City. It has been under military control for the past few days. The entire city is martial law, and everyone is staying at home and is not allowed to walk around the city.

Only when the People's Military Government appears in Guangzhou City will the military control state be gradually abolished and the people in Guangzhou City will return to normal life.

It is also because of the importance of Guangzhou City that Fang Nan rode a fast horse and came first.

"What a tall city wall!"

Fang Nan was not surprised when he saw Guangzhou City, which was larger than Yong'an County and Huizhou Prefecture City, but Fang Nan and his group were surprised by the height and vastness of Guangzhou City. This was the first time they saw such a big city, which was much larger than Huizhou Prefecture City that they had been to before.

During the day, the gates of Guangzhou City were not closed, and the People's Army soldiers guarded the city gate area. The People's Army soldiers on the city wall saw Fang Nan and his group riding horses from afar. Because the number of people was small, it was more likely that it was their own people. The People's Army soldiers on the city wall told the comrades in the city gate area about the matter and just let them be wary.

"It's the Grand Governor!"

Fang Nan and his group were getting closer and closer to the east gate of Guangzhou City. Any People's Army soldiers in the gate area had met Fang Nan and directly recognized Fang Nan.

"salute!"

At the command of the officer, the People's Army soldiers in the city gate area saluted Fang Nan together.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades."

Fang Nan dismounted and patted several soldiers on the shoulders. The soldiers who were patted by Fang Nan on the shoulders were full of fanaticism.

Most of them joined after the People's Army raised the flag. They did not have as long as the veterans when they came into contact with the People's Army, but they admired the great general like veterans very much.

The new soldiers knew the various legends of the Grand Commander from the veterans, and knew that it was the Grand Commander who founded the People's Army. Under the leadership of the Grand Commander, the People's Army has reached this point today, and many families are going to live a good life.

A soldier in Fangnan's team took out his way to guide him. Even if he was confirmed to be the Grand Commander, the soldiers guarding the gate still looked carefully at the Lupoint. This is the People's Army's rule. Even Fangnan, the Grand Commander, is no exception. Only with rules can the People's Army be the People's Army. Without rules, the People's Army may one day be wiped out by the Ming army.

"Let's go, let's go into the city!"
