Chapter 364

In June, the Tang Qi's troops of the Ming army in Yunnan and Li Zhengmao's troops of the Ming army in Huguang and Changjiangbei, Huguang, and Changjiang, Jiangbei, surrendered to the People's Army. Seeing that the Ming court could not provide enough power to resist the People's Army, they also learned from the People's Army that many forces had surrendered, and more forces gave up their struggles and turned to the People's Army.

In mid-July, Fang Nan held the last high-level meeting of the plenary before the war in the People's Army Central Government, confirming that all preparations have been completed or are about to be completed. After the meeting, various departments of the People's Army gathered in the border areas at a faster speed. When the armistice agreement expires, they will march into the Ming-ruled area.

The Ming army and landlord armed forces in the Ming Dynasty ruling region were also mobilized and gathered to the north bank of the Yangtze River, hoping to form a line of defense with the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist the People's Army.

These Ming army forces and landlord armed forces who obeyed the orders of the Ming court were still loyal to the Ming court, and did not turn to the People's Army like other forces just because they heard that the People's Army was powerful.

However, the forces that remain loyal to the Ming court have too few troops. Now the total strength of all forces in the Ming Dynasty ruling region exceeds three million, and the troops mobilized by the Ming court are less than 800,000, and nearly half of the troops are armed forces of landlords, so there is no need to think about their combat effectiveness.

Some Ming army needed to be stationed at the border, and some Ming army needed to be stationed in the capital and the entire southern Zhili area. There were only a few hundred thousand Ming army that could converge to the north bank of the Yangtze River, including some Ming Navy.

Most of the other Ming army forces and landlord armed forces that did not obey the orders of the Ming court followed the instructions of the People's Army and stayed within their own sphere of influence, waiting for the arrival of the People's Army after the war began. After the jurisdiction of the territory was handed over, most of the troops would be disbanded directly on the spot and go home to farm.

Only a part of the army, such as the Navy, will be selected by the People's Army to leave some people behind and join the People's Army.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the forces that were loyal to the Ming court and surrendered to the People's Army, the leaders of the forces were also very ambitious and arrogant, believing that the People's Army could not defeat it, or that they could resist the People's Army and dreamed of unifying the world and becoming the emperor.

As time went by, the important officials of the Ming court turned pale. Instead, Zhu Yijun calmed down. Every time the court meeting, he looked at the ministers coldly and saw what bad ideas they came up with. Part of the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell to this point today was due to these important officials of the Ming Dynasty.

In August, officials from Guangdong Province set off first. Half a month later, officials from other four provinces set off and gathered towards border cities. Officials from the people's military governments left behind in various places were enough to maintain normal operation. The People's Army participated in the war had already assembled in the border areas, and the People's Navy participated in the war had arrived outside Fujian.

On the sixth day of September, the People's Army and the Ming court had an armistice agreement. In the early morning of the same day, the People's Army divided into multiple routes and rushed out of the People's Army ruling area and headed towards the Ming-ruling area. The People's Navy also marched northward.

On the morning of that day, the People's Army's commandments on the Ming Dynasty were posted in all cities in the five provinces of the People's Army's ruled region.

The proclamation was not many, but there were many descriptions. It said that the Ming Dynasty rescued the people of China from the rule of aliens, and that the early Ming Dynasty allowed many ordinary people to live a good life. However, as time passed, the Ming Dynasty fell into depravity, corrupt officials were rampant, officials and businessmen colluded, and the landlord class oppressed the people. Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the people were suffering.

Under this situation, the People's Army has emerged with the hope of hundreds of millions of poor people all over the world. The People's Army will allow all poor people all over the world to live a good life and no longer be bullied, so that every child can read and read...

In fact, the main purpose of this manifesto is to tell everyone in the People's Army's ruling region that the People's Army launched this war against the Ming court was a just war, and it was to allow poor people all over the world to live a good life, rather than simply for more territory or to destroy the Ming court. Obtaining territory and destroying the Ming court are just two stations on this road. After passing these two stations, the People's Army will continue to move forward.

Knowing the content of the manifesto, ordinary people in the People's Army-ruled areas cheered. A few years ago, they were busy from morning to night every day for a full meal, and often had to go hungry. They even saw many people starving to death. When the People's Army came, the People's Army drove away the government and landlords who oppressed them. The People's Army distributed land to them, and the People's Army allowed them to live a good life.

Everything the People's Army has done for the people can support the People's Army wholeheartedly and support it from the bottom of their hearts.

China is very large, and there are more common people struggling on the brink of life and death outside the People's Army ruling region. Now the People's Army is going to go and rescue them. As long as the Ming court is destroyed, the people will no longer need to worry about being bullied by the government and landlords, and their good days will continue.

Compared with the common people, the gentry and merchants of the old era who were lucky enough to survive were extremely moved when they looked at the manifesto.

The most emotional ones were the gentry and merchants in Guangdong Province. The People's Army that had just occupied Guangdong Province had only tens of thousands of troops. Compared with the powerful Ming Dynasty, they looked so weak. They were afraid that the People's Army would attack them. They hoped that the Ming court would send a large army to wipe out the People's Army and rescue them. They were also worried that the Ming army would come and kill them together.

In a state of anxiety, the People's Army continued to defeat the Ming army that came to encircle and suppress, and gradually became stronger, so powerful that it had the strength to destroy the Ming court. All of this seemed too incredible. From the emergence of the People's Army, even ten years have not passed, and the powerful Ming Dynasty was about to be destroyed.

This is a miracle that makes the gentry and merchants constantly sigh that they were once dissatisfied with the life of the People's Army ruling areas. After a few years, they have gradually gotten used to it. Compared with the life under the rule of the Ming court, their current life has a different feeling.

Especially for merchants who are getting bigger and bigger, they feel that the rules of the People's Army-ruled areas are more suitable for business, but the time is still relatively short. They don't know if these rules have changed, and the People's Army will even attack merchants who are "rich enough to compete with the country".

The gentry and merchants from the other four provinces outside Guangdong have been ruled by the People's Army for more than three years. From the day the People's Army came, many people felt that the People's Army would destroy the Ming court sooner or later, and perhaps in a few months, this day would come, too soon.

Many gentry and merchants secretly cursed the people at the bottom, believing that the people at the bottom are really lucky. There are traitors like the People's Army treating the people very well. Although they have not reached the point of turning over and becoming the masters, everyone is equal in the rule of the People's Army. The timid people at the bottom can now stare at the former gentry and merchants.
