Chapter 362: Good News and Bad News
In his office, Li Zhen, the head of the Military Intelligence Division, reported three important events to Fang Nan: the number of assassins entering the People's Army-ruled area had increased significantly compared to previous years, the surrender of Zheng Yuwen of the Zhejiang Ming Army, and the invasion of Goryeo by the Japanese State.
There are assassins who want to infiltrate the KPA-ruled area every year, but this year there are more, Fang Nan understands, and Li Zhen also understands that this is the Ming court in its dying struggle, pinning the hope of resisting the KPA on assassinating the KPA Governor, and they can no longer find any other way to resist the KPA.
However, it is almost impossible to assassinate Fang Nan, although there is no martial law in the KPA-ruled area, it is very difficult for the assassins to infiltrate the KPA-ruled area.
The assassins sent by the Ming court can be said that after so many years, the Ming court has also sent people to infiltrate the KPA-ruled area, and the border line of the KPA-ruled area is so long, it is impossible for the KPA to hold all the borders, and it is possible to enter the KPA-ruled area from a certain path.
The border guards are only the first line of defense in the areas ruled by the People's Army, and the second line of defense is the tens of millions of ordinary people in the areas ruled by the People's Army.
The reward is relatively generous for ordinary people, so much so that the people living in the nearby border area are very eager to have Ming court spies come and let them arrest them.
Most of the Ming court spies or assassins who successfully passed through the first line of defense fell on the second line of defense, and they did not even dare to bring a big knife when they entered the area ruled by the People's Army, at most they brought a small knife or dagger, once they were found by the common people, dozens of ordinary people could be caught together with farm tools.
Guangzhou City is in the southernmost part of the People's Army's ruling area, and Guangdong Province, where Guangzhou City is located, is surrounded by Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Guangxi provinces.
However, the last line of defense is Fang Nan himself, since the People's Army occupied Guangdong, Fang Nan has encountered dozens of assassinations, only a dozen assassinations from the Ming Court, and more of them are omissions when raiding the gentry and merchants, they already live in the area ruled by the People's Army, it is easier to obtain ID cards, and they come directly to Guangzhou City to find a way to assassinate Fang Nan.
It's just that these assassins all fell in front of Fang Nan, and there was no need for the People's Army soldiers as escorts to take action, Fang Nan could do it alone, it was considered an activity of hands and feet, in a world without so-called "martial arts", it was difficult to hurt Fang Nan without dozens of assassins using firearms together.
If Fang Nan was just an ordinary person, in order to prevent assassination, the number of times he went out would be greatly reduced, or every time he went out, the inner and outer three layers would be protected in the middle.
Interestingly, in the past two years, among the assassins who wanted to infiltrate the People's Army-ruled area, there were also literati scholars from the Ming Dynasty-ruled area, who were not sent by the Ming Court, but because they were loyal to the Ming Court, and saw that the "anti-thief" was powerful, and they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the country and personally go to the People's Army-ruled area to assassinate the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army.
Even if the Ming court falls, there will still be people loyal to the Ming court, and even future generations will be affected, and it will take decades or even hundreds of years to wear off.
Thanks to a number of military exercises at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, more and more landlord armed forces and Ming army forces in the Ming ruling areas have surrendered to the People's Army, especially seven days ago, the Zheng Yuewen Department of the Ming Army in Zhejiang finally made the decision to surrender to the People's Army.
Zheng Yuewen of the Zhejiang Ming Army, Tang Qi of the Yunnan Ming Army, and Li Zhengmao of the Ming Army of the North of the Huguang and Yangtze Rivers, these three Ming armies are the three strongest Ming army forces around the people's army's ruling area.
As long as the Zheng Yuewen Department of the Zhejiang Ming Army and the Tang Qi Department of the Yunnan Ming Army are dealt with, there will not be much obstacle for the People's Army to occupy the entire area south of the Yangtze River, and now Zheng Yuewen has surrendered, Tang Qi and Li Zhengmao are also on the verge of surrendering, and it is expected that it will take up to two months, and before the armistice agreement expires, both of them will make a decision.
Even such a powerful Ming army force of the Zhejiang Ming Army Zheng Yuewen surrendered to the People's Army, and the others did not have much loyalty to the Ming Court, and also saw the powerful forces of the People's Army, and made decisions one after another, the smaller the forces made the decision faster, they were very weak, and they were not qualified to wait until the end to surrender, if they waited until the end to surrender, I was afraid that they would be on the blacklist of the People's Army, and settle accounts after the autumn.
I didn't want to be settled by the People's Army, so I joined the People's Army as soon as possible, originally as a landlord, and luckily even an army gave birth to a little ambition, and now this ambition has all dissipated, and the army will be disbanded, even if there is no land, you can continue to be a rich man.
The Ming court vaguely knew that many landlord armed forces and Ming army forces had fallen to the People's Army, which was also one of the important reasons why the Ming court was eager to assassinate the People's Army.
Compared with the Assassins and the Ming Dynasty, the war between the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo was also the focus of Fang Nan's attention, and the People's Army could not send people to the Wa Kingdom overseas for the time being, but it could send people to Goryeo.
After the Japanese invaded Goryeo, agents of the Military Intelligence Department in Goryeo quickly spread the news, and it took more than a month to send it to the city of Guangzhou.
The king of Goryeo had sent an envoy to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming army in Liaodong had already learned from the Goryeo envoy that the Japanese had invaded Goryeo, but the Ming army general did not believe in the words of the Goryeo envoy, he did not believe that the situation in Goryeo had become so critical, and suspected that there was a falsehood.
If it was in the past, and it was confirmed that the invasion of Goryeo by the Japanese was true, because the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese State had always been hostile relations, and there were often Japanese invaders in the coastal areas of the Chinese land, and Goryeo was still a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would definitely send a large army to support Goryeo and drive away the Japanese State/army.
But now, the Ming court has no time to take care of itself, how can it have time to care about the invasion of Goryeo by the Japanese state, if Goryeo is destroyed by the Japanese state, it will think more, the Ming court has so many enemies now, if there is another Japanese state, it will really be fatal.
The generals of the Ming army did not believe that the Japanese invaded Goryeo, and planned to send people to Goryeo to check, and at the same time sent people to escort the Goryeo envoys to the capital.
It is good news that more forces have surrendered to the People's Army, and the invasion of Goryeo by the Japanese State is undoubtedly bad news, and after the People's Army destroys the Ming Dynasty, it may have to go to war directly with the Japanese State.
