In the New Year of the 14th year of Wanli (1586), the People's Army spent the busy life. The time had just arrived at the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Most of Guangdong had been occupied, leaving only Lianzhou Prefecture, which was almost wrapped in Guangxi and the sea, and Qiongzhou Prefecture, which was far away from the mainland.

Lianzhou Prefecture, the People's Army does not intend to capture it for the time being, but Qiongzhou Prefecture, the People's Army needs to find time to occupy it, and Qiongzhou Prefecture has a lot of effect on the People's Army.

Currently, under the rule of the People's Army, Guangzhou Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Chaozhou Prefecture, Shaozhou Prefecture, Nanxiong Prefecture, Zhaoqing Prefecture, Luoding Prefecture, Gaozhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture, as well as the four counties of Dingnan, Longnan, Anyuan, and Changning in southern Jiangxi, and Huaiji County, which is almost wrapped in Guangdong in eastern Guangxi.

The territory under the People's Army exceeds 150,000 square kilometers, and the population under the rule is estimated to exceed 9 million.

From occupying Yong'an County and Haifeng County to occupying most of Huizhou Prefecture, the People's Army has now occupied most of Guangdong, and has taken steps step by step. The most important thing for the People's Army at present is to digest all the newly occupied territory.

The first step to digest the territory is naturally to establish the People's Military Government, the County People's Military Government, the Municipal People's Military Government, and finally the People's Army Central Government.

There is a municipal government here, which was decided by Fang Nan, that is, Guangzhou Prefecture was changed to Guangzhou City, Huizhou Prefecture was changed to Huizhou City, etc. This was changed by Fang Nan according to the customs of his previous life.

If there is a county magistrate and a city mayor, the name is much simpler, but the administrative districts of each county and city may change in the future.

The Guangdong Provincial Administration Office, under the title of Ming Dynasty, was also changed to Guangdong Province in the People's Army.

In addition to the newly captured Gaozhou Prefecture and Leizhou Prefecture, the people's military governments in various places have either been established or are under construction.

The established and completed People's Military Government began to play its role, and the military control status was gradually in contact. In the New Year, the People's Army gave many people a New Year gift - farmland.

The specific statistics of the proportion of farmers and tenants in Guangdong are not clear, but according to the situation in Yong'an County, Fang Nan knew that the proportion of tenants was very large, and there were very few farmers who had their own farmland, and even fewer farmers who could rely on planting their own farmland for a full meal.

Now that the People's Army has given such a big gift, the tenants are excited to shed tears of joy. Their dream is actually done by a force suspected to be a "rebel".

No matter whether the People's Army is a rebel, a rioter or a bandit, or a bandit, and the bandits get farmland, the people support the People's Army in their hearts. As the landlords who bullied them, the bandits and bandits were wiped out by the People's Army, and the people's hearts rose!

This is the best time for recruitment. The People's Army did not do anything to deceive the people, and told the truth about recruitment.

"The goal of our People's Army is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and let all the poor and poor people in the world live a good life."

"The Ming Dynasty was not strong. When the People's Army first started, it only occupied two counties. A few months later, we have defeated the Ming army many times and occupied it in Guangdong."

"If you join the People's Army, you can get more farmland, make meritorious and get promoted, and if you are killed accidentally, the farmland will not be recovered."

"There are so many poor people waiting for our People's Army to rescue him. Let's work together to make the people all over the world live a good life."

...

Under all kinds of discourses, the previous efforts of the People's Army were also carried out in an orderly manner.

The people also know that although the People's Army has been winning battles, people will eventually die in battle. A family with only one male will never join the army. The main ones who join the army are those who have other brothers in their families and have not yet gotten married and had children.

Some were attracted by the great ambitions of the People's Army and participated in the People's Army to contribute to the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty. Some were joined by the People's Army to obtain more farmland. Some were joined by the People's Army to make achievements and glorify their ancestors.

They gathered together, and the People's Army's recruits expanded rapidly. The People's Army selected outstanding soldiers from various departments to serve as instructors, and trained the recruits as soon as possible.

The People's Army has just occupied most of Guangdong, but a new war may not be sure when it will break out.

Faced with the People's Army that had occupied most of Guangdong, the Ming Army in Guangxi to the west, the Ming Army in Huguang to the north, and the Ming Army in Fujian to the east, all gathered towards Guangdong.

The Ming army that was constantly gathering did not have the idea of ​​invading Guangdong to wipe out the People's Army, but simply wanted to stop the People's Army's continued expansion.

Especially in Jiangxi and Huguang, there were only tens of thousands of Ming troops in both places. The 100,000 Ming troops in Guangdong did not wipe out the People's Army, but were occupied by the People's Army. If the People's Army marched into Jiangxi and Huguang, no official would have the confidence to block the People's Army.

The Ming army everywhere was waiting, waiting for Song Yingchang's order.

No matter what the Ming army gathered in various places, the People's Army could not ignore it. After simply cleaning up the landlords, bandits and bandits in the territory, the Ming army scattered in various places quickly gathered in the border areas to guard against the Ming army's attack.

Most of the People's Army were transferred to the border areas, and the troops left in each county were basically only one battalion, and each city had an additional regiment to guard the army, and the troops garrisoned here in Guangzhou City were more.

The troops stationed in various places are relatively small. Fortunately, with a large number of new recruits joining, there will be no chaos in various places because of people with ulterior motives.

The army was the foundation for the People's Army to resist the Ming army's overthrow of the Ming Dynasty. The joining of a large number of new recruits was only to increase the quantity, but not to improve the quality.

As Foshan Town was occupied by the People's Army, a large number of craftsmen were acquired, and a large number of artillery guns were even seized in Foshan Town.

All the captured cannons meet the People's Army's standards for use will be taken away, and all the muskets will be given up.

Before the Hutouzhai people arrived, Foshan Town mainly built Folang machine cannons with a range of at least one thousand meters. After the Hutouzhai people arrived, Foshan Town will establish the third arsenal of the People's Army to build tiger-headed guns, tiger-headed cannons, and Folang machine cannons.

There are various artillery seized from the Ming army. The People's Army currently does not lack artillery, but what is lacking is still tiger-headed rifles. In each battle, musketeers bring huge damage to the enemy, which is often the key to determining the outcome of the battle. However, the number of infantry companies in the People's Arms' firearms troops is still too small, and tiger-headed rifles are needed to be expanded.

In addition, Fang Nan placed the grenade in the second only to the tiger-headed spear. After reading the letter written by He Yan, Fang Nan understood that the huge role of grenades on the battlefield, especially in melee combat, is a very powerful weapon for the People's Army, which lacks melee combat strength, and can effectively improve melee combat strength.
