At the beginning of the year, there were several military exercises, and seeing the strength of the People's Army, more landlord armed forces and Ming army forces in the Ming ruling area surrendered to the People's Army.

The strength of the People's Army is one thing, and more importantly, with the passage of time, there is only half a year left in September, and now all the forces in the Ming ruling area, except for the forces loyal to the Ming Court, other forces are looking for a way out, and there are not many people who believe that there will be a breakthrough in the strength of the Ming Court in the next half a year, and they have the strength to resist the People's Army.

Since the Ming Dynasty can't stop the People's Army, and can't sit back and wait for the People's Army to come and be killed, surrendering to the People's Army can survive, which is the best choice at present, and the second is to flee the land of China with people and wealth, and it is impossible to resist the People's Army by occupying a piece of land on the land of China.

As time passed, Zhu Yijun became more and more anxious.

At first, Zhu Yijun thought that with millions of Ming troops, he could resist the People's Army, and as long as everyone worked together, at worst, he could resist the People's Army with the Yangtze River.

However, most of the forces in the Ming ruling area did not even listen to the orders of the Ming court, how could they gather all their strength to confront the people's army.

After that, Zhu Yijun also wanted to train an elite army loyal to the Ming Court, or wanted to follow the model of the People's Army, equipped with muskets, artillery, earth-shattering thunder, and even better to create the kind of sharp muskets used by the People's Army.

But more than two years have passed, Zhu Yijun is very disappointed, Daming can be a lot of craftsmen, and he really created a musket that is slightly worse than the tiger head gun, but the output is very low, and now only a musketeer unit of less than 500 people has been formed, and the quality of the musket barrel equipped is relatively poor.

Not to mention this musket with better performance, even the number of ordinary muskets, artillery and earth-shattering equipment is not much, and it can't even catch up with the firearms unit of Li Chengliang's army a few years ago.

With such an army, even if the border army is added, no matter how you look at it, you can't stop the people's army.

Now Zhu Yijun and the ministers are pinning their hopes on one method, assassinating the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army, as long as the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army is dead, the People's Army will be in civil strife, and as long as the People's Army falls into civil strife, then it will be the Ming Dynasty to attack the People's Army.

It's just that the Ming court has been assassinating Fang Nan for several years, and has sent hundreds of batches of assassins into the area ruled by the People's Army, trying to find a way to go to Guangzhou City to assassinate Fang Nan, but most of the assassins have been stopped by the People's Army's various "defense lines", and only a very few assassins have good luck to enter Guangzhou City.

From the end of the last war to the present, Fang Nan has only experienced three assassinations, and the number of incoming assassins added to less than ten people has been easily subdued by Fang Nan himself.

Fang Nan was not angry at the assassins who had infiltrated the city of Guangzhou, and the People's Army-ruled area was not completely under martial law, so it was impossible to completely prevent the assassins, and it was already very good to have the results today.

In fact, Fang Nan could have tore up the armistice agreement and launched a final battle against the Ming court by virtue of the fact that the Ming court sent assassins to assassinate him, but Fang Nan gave up this idea, last year and the year before last because the People's Army did not have enough troops and officials, and this year it was mainly because of the low-level people in the Ming ruling area.

Once the war broke out, the cultivation of the people at the bottom would be affected, and many people would definitely starve to death because of the war, so Fang Nan was ready to wait until the armistice agreement expired, that is, after the autumn harvest, before going to war.

The assassination of Fang Nan has been unsuccessful, Zhu Yijun and the ministers are anxiously waiting, and the assassins have sent batch after batch, but there is no news that most of the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army has been injured.

Sometimes Zhu Yijun wonders if most of the governors of the People's Army have died or been seriously injured, but the news has been concealed by the People's Army, and perhaps the People's Army will soon have civil strife.

However, without seeing the exact situation of the People's Army's civil strife, the Ming Court did not dare to make other moves, for fear that the war would break out in advance, and the current Ming Court would not be able to resist the People's Army at all.

Zhu Yijun probably couldn't imagine that even if Fang Nan died unexpectedly, it would be difficult for the People's Army to fall into civil strife, and the top leaders of the People's Army were all students of Fang Nan or students of students, and when educating students, Fang Nan attached the most importance to unity.

Secondly, Fang Nan also prepared a "will", once he died unexpectedly, the Secretary-General Zhou Lei would take over as the governor, and eight years later, the People's Army would vote internally to elect a new governor or president to ensure that the People's Army or the country established by the People's Army would continue to function.

In the palace, Zhu Yijun inexplicably thought of Zhu Yaojiang, is Zhu Yaojiang still alive? Is Zhu Yaojiang alive or dead? Did Zhu Yaojiang get the new post of Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army? Did Zhu Yaojiang assassinate the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army?

If Zhu Yaojiang can be favored by the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army because of his identity and appearance, he will definitely have the opportunity to assassinate the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army.

Zhu Yijun once pinned a little hope on this sister, Zhu Yijun now very much wants to know about Zhu Yaojiang's situation, but now not to mention Zhu Yaojiang's situation, the Ming court doesn't even know the situation of the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army.

Seeing no hope of resisting the People's Army, Zhu Yijun's temper became more and more irritable, and more than a dozen ministers had been imprisoned or even given death because of their anger at Zhu Yijun, there was no chaos within the People's Army, but people in the Ming Court were panicked, and the ministers were afraid that when they would anger the emperor and be given death.

There are ministers who can understand the emperor's anger, Daming has reached this point today, as the ruler of Daming, how can Zhu Yijun not be angry.

I have understood and understood, everyone is afraid that they will accidentally anger Zhu Yijun, and the Ming army inside and outside the capital is basically loyal to Zhu Yijun, if it is not so, I am afraid that some ministers will have the idea of offering the emperor to surrender to the people's army.

Dedicating the Ming Emperor to the People's Army is a great achievement, no matter how big a mistake has been made before, it is impossible for the People's Army to kill them.

In the court, there are ministers who are loyal to Zhu Yijun, and there are ministers who are very little or even no loyalty to Zhu Yijun.

When the Ming court is still strong, the ministers will not have a little rebellion, at most they will carry the emperor behind their backs to suck a little more blood on the big tree of the Ming Dynasty, once the big tree is about to fall, there are loyal ministers who are willing to die with the Ming court, and there are ministers who want to surrender to the enemy.

In the capital, literati and scholars who were still loyal to the Ming court gathered here.

In the restaurant and teahouse, the literati scholars talked about the situation and the government, and the most talked about by the literati and scholars was the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Most literati and scholars believe that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is so critical, it is all the fault of these ministers, these ministers are not capable enough, as long as they change the minister they think is capable, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to regroup and destroy the People's Army.
