The battle of Nanchang City was from morning to afternoon. For nearly half a day, the People's Army occupied Nanchang City at the cost of less than a thousand deaths. The 100,000 Ming troops defending Nanchang City killed 20,000 and captured 80,000.

After capturing Nanchang City, Wang Shengrong's army did not stop. Just after mid-February, most of the First Army led by Wang Shengrong occupied the entire Jiangxi.

Following Jiangxi, the second one was all occupied was Fujian. In the battle of Fuzhou City, more than 100,000 Ming troops led by Zheng Yuewen, the Second Army General of the People's Army led by Yan Han, were hit hard, and half of the troops were lost in Fuzhou City. They had to give up Fuzhou City and fled to Zhejiang under the advance of the People's Army.

The battle on the Huguang battlefield ended at the end of February, but the first part of the People's Army, led by Xiong Jian, did not complete the scheduled plan and occupied the entire Huguang.

Huguang is composed of two parts: North and South Yangtze River, and the south Yangtze River area is about twice the size of the north Yangtze River area.

After Xiong Jian's army occupied the southern part of the Yangtze River, it was preparing to cross the river to occupy the Yangtze River. However, when the Ming army Li Zhengmao's troops retreated from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, they took away or burned most of the ships. The People's Army was able to find that there were only small fishing boats on the crossing river, and there were not many larger ships.

How can a small fishing boat be able to quickly send tens of thousands of people's army to the north of the Yangtze River? The Yangtze River is a natural danger. Li Zhengmao's army guards the north bank of the Yangtze River. It is too difficult for the People's Army to cross the natural danger by taking a small fishing boat to enter the north of the Yangtze River.

Sui Xiong Jian gave up his march into the northern part of the Yangtze River.

In fact, when Fang Nan led a group of generals of the People's Army to formulate a combat plan, he thought of the issue of the northern part of the Yangtze River in Huguang and Changjiang. The plan formulated was determined that it would be best to occupy the northern part of the Yangtze River in Huguang and Changjiang. If it was not possible, he would only occupy the southern part of the Yangtze River.

Under the current circumstances, Xiong Jian's army occupied the southern part of the Yangtze River in Huguang and Guangxi, which is a pre-determined plan.

Guangxi was the last occupied by the People's Army among the four provinces. He Yan led the Third Army of the People's Army to advance west from eastern Guangxi, fought many times with the Ming army Tang Qi's army, and finally drove the Tang Qi's army, which had more than 50,000 troops left, to Yunnan.

However, compared with Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang and Guangxi, there are many problems. Even though the Ming army cleaned up many times in order to train troops and control the Ming army, there were still many bandits, bandits, and rebels hiding everywhere, waiting for the People's Army to clean up.

It is similar to Fang Nan's estimate. Just a few days after March, the People's Army completed its combat plan and occupied the four provinces of Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi and Huguang. At present, the People's Army was guarding against the Ming army while quickly rectifying the internal affairs. The officials of the People's Army have taken office and established a People's Army government in the newly occupied territory of the People's Army to govern the country.

With the magic weapon of dividing land, even if the Ming court officials and landlords used to negatively promote the People's Army, the people in the new territory quickly accepted the emergence of the People's Army and began to feel the goodness of the People's Army, which was not far from their support and support.

The war between the People's Army and the Ming court was not over in name. In essence, after the People's Army gave up on continuing to expand its territory, the Ming army did not dare to attack, and the war was over. The People's Army was busy digesting the newly occupied four provinces. Merchants from Guangdong began to negotiate and trade in the newly occupied areas, allowing the economy of the newly occupied areas to recover quickly.

The People's Army has temporarily stopped expanding. The next expansion will be a few years later, and it is preparing to overthrow the Ming court in one fell swoop. However, the Ming court did not know this and was still trying to mobilize the Ming army outside the People's Army's ruling region to resist the attack of the People's Army. It is also trying to contact the People's Army and want to negotiate peace with the People's Army.

Millions of Ming troops were defeated by the People's Army, and the Ming court lost more territory. It has already understood the strength of the People's Army. Now the Ming court is unable to continue the war with the People's Army. The only way is to negotiate peace with the People's Army.

The minister who presided over the Ming Dynasty was Wei Linhan, who was over fifty years old and was one of the important officials of the Ming Dynasty and was deeply trusted by Zhu Yijun.

On February 24th, Wei Linhan arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, but Jiangxi had been occupied by the People's Army at this time, so Wei Linhan could only continue to stay on the north bank of the Yangtze River and sent people to contact the People's Army, wanting people in the People's Army to meet and hold peace talks.

Currently, Jiangxi is under the military control of Wang Shengrong's First Army, and Wang Shengrong is temporarily responsible for the matter in Jiangxi. Faced with the Ming court's talks and requests, Wang Shengrong once again refused.

There are more and more bad news coming from the south. Wei Linhan couldn't sit still on the north bank of the Yangtze River. He sent people to contact the People's Army many times to negotiate peace, but they were rejected by Wang Shengrong. Wang Shengrong was still waiting for other battlefield situations. In addition, Cheng Xinyuan, the Minister of Rites who was responsible for negotiations between the People's Army and the Ming court, had left Guangzhou City and embarked on the road to Nanchang City, Jiangxi.

Before Cheng Xinyuan left Guangzhou City, Fang Nan and his teammates led by Cheng Xinyuan held a meeting. The content of the meeting was the armistice negotiations between the People's Army and the Ming court.

The last time the People's Army ceased to fight with the Ming court, the Ming court compensated the People's Army with materials worth millions of taels of silver, and this time it could not be let go so easily.

In fact, it is not very important whether the People's Army wants compensation from the Ming court. A few years later, the People's Army will go to war again and then the Ming court will be destroyed. Everything in the Ming court will belong to the People's Army.

The main reason for asking for compensation from the Ming court was to make the Ming court believe that the People's Army had a ceasefire due to these compensations from the Ming court, or one of the important factors for the ceasefire.

This time, Fang Nan set a lower limit for the compensation from the Ming court, and the materials worth five million taels of silver could be obtained, so the greater the contribution Cheng Xinyuan and his group were in charge of the negotiations.

In the compensation, Fang Nan also asked Cheng Xinyuan to list one, which is the northern part of the Yangtze River in Huguang. If possible, the Ming court would ced the northern part of the Yangtze River in Huguang to the People's Army.

The area of ​​the north part of the Yangtze River in Huguang is only one-half of the area of ​​the south part of the Yangtze River, but the area of ​​the north part of the Yangtze River is very important, and the People's Army does not have a foothold in the north part of the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River is a natural danger. If the Ming court sends hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to guard the Yangtze River and then transfers the navy to the sky, it will be difficult for the People's Army to cross the river to the north of the Yangtze River. Even if it succeeds, the People's Army will suffer heavy casualties.

The Ming court's navy was very strong. When the People's Army attacked Fujian, it was thinking of getting a Ming court navy stationed in Fujian. Unfortunately, it failed. The navy had already left Fujian and ran to Zhejiang.

If the Huguang Yangtze River North area can be obtained through a ceasefire negotiations, the People's Army will station heavy troops in the Huguang Yangtze River North and start wars in a few years. The People's Army will reduce a lot of trouble when entering the Yangtze River North.

However, Fang Nan felt that the possibility of letting the Ming court cede territory was too low, and it was already very difficult for the Ming court to talk. If the Ming court ceded the land, maybe the Ming court gave up the peace talks. The ministers of the Ming court would not be able to see the purpose of the People's Army's intention to the north of the Yangtze River in Huguang.
