The Ming army was reluctant to fight, and the People's Army was even more reluctant to fight, especially in the previous two rounds of fighting, when the barrels of the tiger head guns equipped by the firearms units of the three group armies were about to be scrapped.

Taking advantage of the armistice between the two sides, the three group armies were sending the tiger head guns with serious barrel wear and tear to the rear in batches for repair, but fortunately, the time taken to repair the barrel was far less than rebuilding a barrel, and the three group armies were able to quickly restore their combat effectiveness.

At present, the tiger head guns, artillery, and grenades manufactured by the three armies of the People's Army will be divided into four parts according to their quantity, two copies will be sent to Wang Shengrong's First Group Army, and the remaining two copies will be sent to the Second Group Army and the Third Group Army respectively.

On the contrary, the navy was established at the latest, and only a few civilian ships were added to the warships.

For the development of the Navy, Fang Nan's idea is very simple, at present the Navy has only two tasks, one is to defend the coastal areas of Guangdong, and the other is training.

The former is easy to say, the latter is to conduct surface combat training, and the sailing ships currently used on a large scale really can't get into Fang Nan's eyes, Fang Nan wants to wait for the steam engine to be researched and equip the navy with steam ships.

It takes time to study a steam engine, it takes time to work out a steam engine that can be used on a steamship, and it takes more time to build a steamship.

However, the People's Army can afford to wait for these times, after all, the People's Army is now only occupying most of Guangdong, and the main opponent of the People's Army is the Ming Army on land, and it has not yet reached the time for the People's Army to open up in the direction of the sea.

According to Fang Nan's plan, after the occupation of Guangdong, it would take at least three years to develop itself, increase its military strength, and train more officials, after which the People's Army could continue to expand and occupy more territory, and the People's Army also had the strength to hold these territories, and there were enough officials to manage these territories.

If Fang Nan thinks about it, with the current strength of the People's Army, it will almost be able to break through the encirclement of the Ming Army, for which the People's Army will also suffer heavy losses, and there are not enough officials to govern the newly occupied territory, which is a bit more than worth the loss for the People's Army, it is better to concentrate on the development of Guangdong in a few years, and sweep the world in a few years.

Three years and three years, the better situation is that the People's Army can overthrow the Ming Dynasty after six years, and at this time the People's Army can allocate part of its energy to develop the navy, and in six years, the People's Army can also study the steam engine.

When the time comes, it will be a very speechless thing for the navy to have steam warships but no crews, so the people's navy, which is currently very weak, must continue to conduct surface combat training to lay the foundation for the future navy.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the "anti-thieves" are not only the people's army, there are anti-thieves all over the country, the strong have tens of thousands of soldiers, the weak have hundreds of troops, and only a few dozen anti-thieves are not counted at all.

Some of these anti-thieves are operating as mountain bandits, some are hiding in the countryside, and some are hiding in remote areas, and there are a large number of anti-thieves in Guangxi and Yunnan, so that the Guangxi Ming army can only transfer half of its troops to the border areas at most.

The greater the number of thieves and the greater their fame, the more they will attract the attention of the Ming court, and the anti-thieves who occupy most of Guangdong like the People's Army are simply the great enemies of the Ming court, and they will do whatever it takes to exterminate the People's Army.

As for the small group of anti-thieves hiding in the mountains and forests, the Ming army did not have the energy to carry out a dragnet search, and could only station a certain number of Ming troops in various places to prevent the anti-thieves from causing chaos.

Nowadays, the name of the People's Army is so loud that even the small group of anti-thieves hiding in the mountains and forests of Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian know about the People's Army.

As a thief, he was chased by the Ming army and fled into the mountains, living a difficult life, which thief doesn't want to live a normal life, but because his identity has been unable to change, unless he has laid a large territory like the People's Army, he can resist the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops.

Seeing the rise of the People's Army, many anti-thieves had ideas, and a small group of anti-thieves wanted to join the People's Army, and they would eat and drink spicy food in the future, and they didn't need to worry about being chased and suppressed by the Ming Army, while the large group of anti-thieves who had more troops had the idea of learning like the People's Army.

"The People's Army is able to lay such a large territory, and the Ming army is attracted to the People's Army, why can't we also lay a large territory like the People's Army and establish ourselves as kings?"

There are many ambitious people, and there are also many people who are unwilling to be subservient to others, and the anti-thieves hiding in the surrounding areas of Guangdong are active.

There are a small group of thieves who quietly want to enter Guangdong to join the People's Army, but they are discovered and intercepted by a certain unit of the People's Army.

It is really a bandit and bandit, and those who directly find out those who have done a lot of evil will be executed, those who have done little evil will be reduced to coolies, and those who have done very little evil and those who have not done evil can join the People's Army to advance to the troops.

There are also anti-thieves who sent people to Guangdong to contact the People's Army, saying that they want to form an alliance with the People's Army.

"We want to form an alliance with your People's Army, there are tens of thousands of heroes in the Zhuming League, we can fight Huguang together, and then destroy the Ming Dynasty together, and we will divide the world equally!"

An inexplicable Zhuming League has emerged, suspected of being an alliance formed by multiple anti-thieves, as for whether the Zhuming League really has tens of thousands of heroes, the People's Army's Military Intelligence Department analyzed, the Zhuming League has more than 10,000 people, there are really tens of thousands of people, and the Zhuming League does not need to form an alliance with the People's Army, and in the case of the People's Army containing many Ming troops, he can take down a state capital.

The words of dividing the world equally are even more speechless, for this kind of people who come to form an alliance, after contacting a few, the People's Army will not be very reasonable, maybe there are really rebel armies like the People's Army who want to let the people live a good life, but more people still want to be kings and hegemons.

It is impossible for the People's Army to cooperate with such a force, and it does not need to cooperate, and at this point today, as long as there are no accidents, the People's Army can go on step by step, unless the Ming Court now mobilizes millions of troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army.

The People's Army doesn't care about those anti-thieves, and those anti-thieves themselves can't help it, anyway, now that most of the Ming army is contained by the People's Army, they can take down the county seat by concentrating thousands of people, and if they take down one county seat, they can take down more county seats, and they will develop and grow rapidly.

The idea is very good, and there are real anti-thieves who take action, Guangxi, Fujian, Huguang, Jiangxi have given birth to a lot of chaos, the Ming army left in various places hurriedly suppressed, most of the anti-thieves have been suppressed, but there are also a small group of anti-thieves successfully occupy a county town.

Chaos is gradually emerging in various places, but I don't know how long this chaos will last, and soon more Ming troops will gather in Guangdong on three sides, and it will not be a problem to successfully exterminate these anti-thieves.
