Beginning with the battle between Song Yingchang's army and Wang Shengrong's army, in the next few days, the People's Army and the Ming army fought four large-scale battles and dozens of skirmishes in the border area of Guangdong.

The large-scale battles were four battles between the People's Army and the Song Yingchang Army, the Guangxi Ming Army, the Huguang Ming Army, and the Fujian Ming Army, while the small-scale battles were the attacks launched by the small Ming Army against the People's Army.

Without exception, these battles were stopped by the KPA.

Among the various units of the Ming army, the Guangxi Ming army led by Liao Yangzhou suffered the heaviest casualties, and the other three Ming armies performed better than the Guangxi Ming army, at least not to the point of being chased by the people's army.

In the four large-scale battles, the battle situation of the People's Army and the Ming Army was unexpectedly about the same, the Ming Army was under the cover of the chariot to fight with the People's Army in close combat, and in the end they were all repelled by the People's Army with the cooperation of the first troops and grenadier troops, and the ratio of casualties between the People's Army and the Ming Army was as low as 1 to 3 and the maximum was more than 1 to 4.

In skirmishes, the number of KPA casualties increased, and the ratio of casualties reached as high as 1 to 2, knowing that each KPA had a grenadier squad, and there were so many casualties.

In any case, in the face of the Ming court's third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, the People's Army won the first game, and then both sides will have a certain period of rest, the Ming Army is waiting for more reinforcements to arrive, and the People's Army is waiting for tiger head guns and grenades to be replenished, and it will not be long before a new battle breaks out.

With the victory of the People's Army in one battle after another, in order to let the people under his rule live with peace of mind, and also let the gentry and businessmen under his rule die and return to the heart of the Ming court, the People's Army vigorously publicized the victory, and even showed the detailed strength of the Ming army one by one.

In Guangzhou City, Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin sat together again, because of the betrayal of the three earlier, the People's Army captured Guangzhou City faster, and the three of them were already under the rule of the People's Army after making up for their past mistakes, and were protected by the People's Army.

Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin were the few people who were most worried about the Ming army defeating the People's Army, and once the People's Army was over, the three of them and their families did not want to be killed by the Ming army, so they could only flee overseas.

If the People's Army wins, even if the three are unable to become officials in the People's Army, they can continue to become rich, the three are the first few in Guangzhou to carry out commercial activities, and the other wealthy gentry and businessmen are hesitating, and the three have been associated with the People's Army and begin to act without hesitation.

It is also because many large households have been raided, and there are large blanks in many markets, and now these three have easily occupied a large market, as long as the People's Army can reach the Ming Army, with the expansion of the People's Army's territory, the business of these three will become bigger and bigger.

Of course, because Fang Nan had a poor sense of Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, the People's Army kept a close eye on the three families, and if these three families dared to do something illegal, they would definitely be severely punished by the People's Army.

"Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops surrounded Guangdong, I didn't expect the People's Army to be able to achieve victory, killing tens of thousands of Ming troops, as long as there are no problems within the People's Army, it is very difficult for the Ming Army to exterminate the People's Army." Xia Jingshan said with a smile.

Hearing Xia Jingshan's words, Liang Xin agreed: "Yes, yes, fortunately, we chose to join the People's Army, if we follow them to defend Guangzhou City, we are afraid that we will all have to see our ancestors and ancestors." ”

"We have no choice now, we just hope that the People's Army can hold on, and it is best to overthrow the Ming Court, even if it is just business, the three of us can be rich." Jiang Ci also said.

Not only Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, but also the gentry and businessmen left behind in Guangzhou are all discussing the victory of the People's Army.

"The thieves have won again, wait a minute, if the thieves continue to win, let's act, alas, those three lucky guys."

"I feel that the Ming army can't exterminate the thieves, I still have a family to support, but I can't continue to work and eat, there are too many places to make money under the rule of thieves."

"I won't wait, this People's Army is not ordinary, every battle will be won, maybe the Ming Dynasty will be overthrown by the People's Army, whoever keeps up with the People's Army first, who will be able to make money."

The businessmen who like speculation are the first to change their minds, they are not loyal to the Ming court, they want to make money to develop their own family, they don't care whether they are ruled by the Ming court or the people's army, as long as they and their families can continue to live.

If they can earn a lot of money, they can work hard for the People's Army, not to mention that the People's Army has always been victorious against the Ming Army, which also makes some businessmen have confidence in the People's Army.

Some merchants were the first to change their minds, but in the city of Guangzhou, there was another group of people who were "loyal" to the Ming court, this group was literati and scholars, and one of the important ideas of Confucianism was to serve the country with loyalty.

Hearing the news that the People's Army had defeated the Ming Army again, many literati and scholars in Guangzhou looked sad.

"Why did the Ming army lose again? Could it be that the thieves really want to take away the Ming Dynasty? ”

"God, quickly punish this group of damned thieves, and let the Ming army exterminate these thieves."

"Impossible, my Ming Dynasty is so strong, how can I not even exterminate this little thief, it must be that the Ming army is underestimating the enemy, as long as the Ming army pays attention to it, it will definitely be able to defeat the thief!"

However, the merchants who were said to be copper-smelling by the literati and scholars laughed at this situation, but they knew that soon after the destruction of the city of Guangzhou, some literati and scholars who were really loyal to the Ming court committed suicide at home, or rushed to the People's Army with swords to express their loyalty to the Ming court.

But there are too few such people, and the literati and scholars who are still alive now, they dare not express their loyalty to the Ming court with death, and can only curse the people's army in corners that the people's army cannot see.

They did not even dare to sit with their friends and curse the People's Army, because they did not know if any of their friends would betray them, and if they were betrayed, they would be punished with whipping or raids.

Among the literati scholars, there are also people like the Qiao family, Qiao Rong and Qiao Hui are loyal to the Ming Court, but they are not loyal to the point where they are willing to die for the Ming Court, they prefer to write poems and write articles, and through the articles, their names are circulated in the literary world, rather than mixing in political affairs.

The Qiao family doesn't need to do business, Qiao Rong and Qiao Jue sell any word and painting at a high price.

Of course, as literati, they disdained to sell calligraphy and paintings directly for money, but others exchanged various treasures for calligraphy and paintings, and then the Qiao family found a channel to sell the treasures for silver.

By selling calligraphy and paintings, Qiao's family is a wealthy family in Guangzhou.
