The People's Army should take a vacation, reorganize and reorganize, and should not worry about the Ming army launching an attack, but the Ming troops opposite the People's Army are scared to death.

After several successive battles, the Ming court suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, and now the number of Ming troops outside Guangdong is less than 200,000, and the morale is very low.

It can be shown that the army has been frightened by the People's Army, and if the war continues in a short period of time, a Ming army encounters the People's Army with fewer lives, and may directly flee in fear or even surrender to the People's Army.

Li Chengliang came to Jiangxi to see the Ming army with such low morale, and he was also very helpless, the importance of morale Li Chengliang knew very well that the current low morale of the Ming army could not be changed in a short period of time, and it would take time to restore morale little by little.

The morale of the Ming army led by Mei Yousong was not high before, and at the beginning of the battle, the Ming soldiers rushed forward without fear of life and death, mainly because of the incentives of promotion, wealth, and women.

Li Chengliang will not lead the army to war with the People's Army in a short period of time, and it is not feasible to use incentives to boost morale, but in order to guard against the People's Army that may tear up the armistice agreement at any time, Li Chengliang can only send the Ming army with low morale to defend it strictly, even if he cannot resist the People's Army, he will drag the People's Army for a period of time and give Li Chengliang time to mobilize other Ming troops.

Strictly guarding against the People's Army was Li Chengliang's first important task when he came to Jiangxi, and secondly, he said that he would train the army, either recruit or catch strong men, and form a Ming army, these are all new soldiers, and they are all cannon fodder on the battlefield, and Li Chengliang needs to spend time training these new troops, at least to be able to obey the command in battle, rather than directly mixing together.

Training new recruits is not a simple matter, it is the same for both the People's Army and the Ming Army.

When the People's Army went to war with the Ming Army led by Song Yingchang, the People's Army was filled with a large number of recruits who had a training time of at most three months and at least one month.

Indeed, the combat effectiveness of these recruits is not high, and during the one-month recruit training, the instructors mainly conduct training in three aspects, namely platoon training, marching training, and combat training.

Platoon training is the most important, as long as the recruits complete the platoon training, they will be able to follow the command on the battlefield and will not cause chaos after the outbreak of battle.

The training on the march is secondary, and the recruits are tired when they can't walk, so they have to keep up with the main forces, even if they don't directly participate in the battle, they have to assist the main forces.

Combat training is the least, mainly to use spears or broadswords back and forth to stab, slash and other move training, very simple, even if you train again in a month, the recruit's combat awareness will not improve much, a few moves are enough.

In addition, after one month of military training, although the combat effectiveness of the recruits is far inferior to that of the veterans, they are already qualified as a combat assistant, and they can put enough pressure on the enemy by lining up and rushing together.

After many major wars, there are fewer and fewer new recruits in the KPA, and the KPA's combat effectiveness has also increased rapidly.

Compared with the training of recruits of the People's Army, the training efficiency of recruits in the Ming Army is very poor, and the Ming Army will also conduct queue training, but the training is more about the fighting ability of the soldiers.

The training method of recruits in the Ming army will only improve if it is carried out for half a year or even longer, and if it is only trained for a few months, the combat effectiveness of the recruits will not be improved much at all, and they will still be cannon fodder.

Li Chengliang was very aware of the current situation of the New Army, and he did not think of starting a war against the People's Army in a short period of time.

Because he was going to fight against the People's Army, Li Chengliang attached great importance to firearms, and on the second day after coming to Ganzhou Fucheng, he asked the Earthquake Battalion to conduct a combat drill.

At that time, Li Chengliang imagined in his mind a scene of thousands of earth-shaking thunders exploding together, and when he encountered the People's Army equipped with a large number of earth-shaking thunders, Li Chengliang felt that only by charging the people's army with a large number of cavalry could the People's Army defeat the people's army, but it was a pity that the terrain of Guangdong and Jiangxi was not suitable for the cavalry to fight.

If you can't defeat the People's Army with cavalry, you can only equip a large number of sky-shaking thunderbolts to fight against the People's Army, Li Chengliang has not forgotten the very powerful firecrackers equipped by the People's Army, and a large number of spies have entered Guangdong through various channels, trying to get a few firecrackers back, but for the time being, not a single spy has succeeded, but a large number of spies have been caught by the People's Army.

For the captured Ming army spies, the People's Army will first interrogate them, if there have been serious evil deeds, directly kill the matter, there are no evil deeds, you can try to make them submit to the People's Army, other prisoners are all sent to be coolies, the People's Army to build roads, build hydraulic facilities, mining all need coolies, the more the merrier.

Guarding against the People's Army and training the new army were the two things that Li Chengliang attached most importance to after coming to Jiangxi, but Li Chengliang soon diverted his attention.

Because of the success of the People's Army, anti-Ming forces in Guangxi, Huguang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and other places, as well as bandits and bandits, became active, and even anti-Ming forces attacked the county seat and successfully captured it.

There are very few cases of the fall of the county town, and the anti-Ming forces that have been hiding and hiding before are not very strong even if they form an alliance, and they are not even opponents of the guards of large families with the same number of people, let alone officers and soldiers who have undergone a certain amount of training.

However, the anti-Ming forces became active, causing trouble to local governments and even affecting the recruitment and expansion of troops.

The Ming army spies kept an eye on the People's Army, and seeing that the People's Army was honestly staying at home, Li Chengliang ordered a part of the Ming Army to be dispatched to encircle and suppress the thieves who were making trouble, and there was also the idea of training soldiers.

Li Chengliang thought very simply, the training time of recruits is too long, and only by honing them in battle will they grow up quickly, Li Chengliang does not want a group of recruits who can only be used as cannon fodder, he wants hundreds of thousands of Ming troops who cannot be inferior to the Weisuo army.

Equipping a large number of firearms is the way Li Chengliang thought of dealing with the People's Army, but there is another problem in it, the earth-shaking thunder is simple to build and can be mass-produced, but the production efficiency of firearms and artillery is relatively low.

In particular, Foshan, the largest firearms production base in the Ming Dynasty, was taken away by the People's Army, and the number of artillery equipped by Li Chengliang's army would not exceed that of Mei Yousong's army before.

Using firearms and chariots to resist the might of the People's Army's firearms, and finally defeating the People's Army through close combat, this is all Li Chengliang's idea, and the most important thing to complete this idea is to train the recruits.

When it came to the battlefield, all the Ming troops rushed to the People's Army without fear of death, even if the People's Army firearms were powerful, they could kill tens of thousands or even 100,000 Ming troops at once, and the remaining Ming troops could fight with the People's Army.
