After the meeting on the next combat plan, Fang Nan immediately sent cavalry to Yong'an County with his orders and delivered the order to Wang Shengrong, the commander of the First Mixed Brigade. The next morning, Hu Zhuang also set off for the Qianhu House in Haifeng. At the same time, the People's Army gathered outside Haifeng County also prepared materials.

For the People's Army, food, gunpowder, lead bullets, and artillery shells are the most important materials. After the People's Army searched many wealthy families, there was no shortage of food and grass. Gunpowder, lead bullets, and artillery shells. After the People's Army eliminated the Ming army in Jieshi, it also had sufficient reserves, which could at least support the firearm troops to fight a war.

If you consider it in the future, gunpowder will still be the most needed material for the People's Army. The Yong'an County People's Military Government and the Haifeng County People's Military Government have purchased saltpeter from all the people under their rule.

On September 24th, the Ming army mobilized by Ren Jianxiu was still carrying out logistics preparations. Fang Nan brought six companies of firearms (including an artillery company), two regiments of cold weapons troops, one first entered the battalion, and several female barracks and medical team personnel, totaling nearly 4,000 people. He left outside Haifeng County and marched west of Haifeng County.

According to the deployment of the Ming army in Guangdong, Fang Nan could easily conclude that the Ming army's main attack direction would be the west of Yong'an County and Haifeng County. For this reason, Fang Nan led the main force of the People's Army to personally lead the west to restrain the main force of the Ming army.

The neighbors to the west of Yong'an County and Haifeng County are Guishan County under the jurisdiction of Huizhou Prefecture. The population is less than 100,000 and there are no military troops in the territory. However, to the west of Guishan County is Huizhou Prefecture City, with Huizhou Headquarters here.

The People's Army of Fangnan Route departed from Haifeng County in the morning, and entered Guishan County after half of the afternoon. After another hour of march, they marched for another hour and camped for a rest. The scouts had already investigated the situation around dozens of miles.

According to the investigation by the scouts, the manors of all the landlords (west) in front of the People's Army in Fangnan Road were either empty or a few people were left to guard them, and there were no traces of wealth in the manor.

The scouts went to a village as the Ming army to inquire. They learned from the people that most people in Guishan County already knew about the troubled people in Haifeng County and Yong'an County.

There were rioters in Haifeng County and Yong'an County, and the rioters captured two county towns. Next, they would definitely march towards the surrounding areas and occupy more territory. Guishan County was one of the targets.

The landlords and big families know that once the rioters come, it doesn’t matter whether the poor people run away or not. The rioters are composed of a considerable number of poor people, but the landlords and big families must run away. If they don’t run away and wait for the rioters to come, they will definitely die.

The landlords and wealthy people knew very well that the so-called chaotic people were forced by them and the government. In other words, they were the enemies of the chaotic people. When facing the enemy, the chaotic people would rush over and bite them like crazy, and not let go of any of them.

Therefore, after knowing about the troubled people in Haifeng County and Yong'an County, regardless of whether the troubled people would come to Guishan County, the large landlords and households in Guishan County near Haifeng County and Yong'an County all moved to Guishan County with their wealth, or even to Huizhou Prefecture City.

The landlords and large households basically have real estate in the county town, and they are usually guarded and taken care of, so they can move in when they come to the county town.

The landlords and big landlords did not transfer all their wealth. They might bury some antiques that are not easy to damage and transfer them with food and part of their money. Once an accident occurs during the transfer process, the wealth is robbed by the government army and bandits, and there are buried wealth in the manor. When the rioters are wiped out by the government army, they can still come back to take out the buried wealth and continue to be their landlords.

Huizhou Prefecture is a district with frequent peasant uprisings in Guangdong, and the large landlords already have the experience of "dealing with" the chaotic people.

In fact, the big landlords do not want to see chaotic people appearing in their territory or surrounding areas, but this is a difficult thing to control.

People are greedy, and most landlords want to exploit more tenants to gain more wealth. Farmland is also an important wealth. Landlords want to obtain more farmland, so they can only find ways to seize them from farmers who still have farmland. Farmers become tenants without farmland.

The tax collection of government officials is very high for tenants, and they may also increase taxes privately, which is even more unbearable.

There are also landlords who rely on their power. Landlords will not bully the people themselves by themselves, but these candids will do it.

It can be said that the common people lived a miserable life under the bullying of government, landlords, and landlords. It was not strange that the people often had chaos, especially Guangdong was far away from the capital and the political center of the Ming Dynasty. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, and he acted without any scruples.

Even if a kind-hearted landlord is good to the people around you, it is a pity that once the rioters appear, no matter whether you are a good or a bad landlord, if you are a wealthy family, you will be the enemy of the rioters.

Fang Nan, He Yan and other senior leaders of the People's Army listened to the report of the scouts and understood that there were no major landlords to attack next. This didn't matter to Fang Nan's People's Army. Fang Nan led the army westward to restrain the main force of the Ming army.

It is only a matter of easy action against the landlords. The People's Army of Fangnan and the People's Army will not even unite the people in Guishan County. It takes time to unite the people. Guishan County may become the battlefield between the People's Army and the Ming Army. People who are united by the People's Army and unable to leave with the People's Army are easily implicated by the People's Army and dealt with by the Ming Army as enemies.

However, during the process of the People's Army of Fangnan Road, if you find a blacksmith and carpenter, you must take it away and send it to Hutou Village.

When the People's Army of Fangnan Road entered Guishan County west, most of the People's Army of Hu Zhuang Road also left the Qianhu House of Haifeng and entered Chaozhou Prefecture east.

The only one company of the Cold Weapons Units left at the Qianhu Station in Haifeng was the Cold Weapons Company, and two new battalions of recruits transferred from elsewhere.

The small town occupied by Qianhu is not as large as the county town, but the residents in the small town are all family members of the garrison army. In the battle, so many Ming troops were killed by the People's Army, and hatred has emerged. There are quite a few people in the small town who are hostile to the People's Army. No matter how the People's Army unites them, it is useless. If they have the chance, they will rush up and bite them.

Therefore, in the small city of Qianhu Institution, the People's Army must station enough troops. Jieshi Guard headquarters has other Qianhu Institutions with cold weapons troops stationed in one battalion, and the troops are enough to control the small city. There is only one company left in Qianhu Institution in Haifeng, and no other troops can call it. Then the recruits who have only been trained for several days will be transferred here. If the new recruits are not combat-effective, they will win by number.
