Chapter 194: Qi Attention
The pace of the war is approaching day by day, and even the common people under the rule of the People's Army are affected by this upcoming war, and the battle between the People's Army and the Ming Army has become the most concerned thing for the common people.
The population of the KPA is less than 10 million, but now the total strength of the KPA has reached 300,000, and counting the KPA soldiers who have died in previous battles, it is even more.
It can be said that the common people under the rule of the People's Army can have a direct or indirect relationship with a soldier of the People's Army, either they have relatives in their families who have joined the People's Army, or they have relatives who have joined the People's Army.
Since they have such a deep connection with the People's Army, and they have all obtained their own land from the People's Army, they naturally hope that the People's Army can continue to win, the land will still belong to them, and the first autumn harvest will be approaching, and good days are coming.
"God willing, the People's Army must defeat those damned officers and soldiers."
"Don't worry, my second son joined the People's Army, and he sent a message saying that the People's Army is stronger than the official army, and the People's Army will definitely be able to defeat the official army, and no one can take away the land that the People's Army has given us."
"The previous days were too hard, I don't want to go back to the old days, the People's Army must defeat the official army, my kid has always wanted to join the People's Army, but I stopped him, so I will let him join the army."
……
Words of blessing came out of the mouths of the common people, although they could not read a single word, but they could know the good of the people's army, and also knew that the people's army was defeated and the government came back, and they would return to the hard days of the past, the farmland was confiscated, and they continued to be oppressed by the government landlords.
They don't want the government to come back, they hope that the People's Army can defeat the official army, and a better day is just around the corner, they don't want to lose it like this, but in this war between the People's Army and the official army, they can do too little and too little, and they can only keep praying for the People's Army.
Compared with ordinary people, the scholars of the wealthy gentry and merchants in Guangzhou knew more about the battles between the People's Army and the Ming Army, and many gossip rumors circulated everywhere.
In a small gathering of people loyal to the Ming court, someone said to everyone with joy on his face: "Lord Mei has mobilized a million troops outside Guangdong, as long as Lord Mei gives an order, the millions of officers and soldiers will be able to exterminate the thieves, and we can return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"An army of millions! The thieves have hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are so many recruits, they will definitely not be my opponents, everyone, we have waited too long. ”
"We should go and contact other people, if the official army comes to Guangzhou City, we can cooperate with the outside world, maybe we can be rewarded by the imperial court."
On the other side, more than a dozen wealthy gentry and businessmen were also sitting around discussing the new battle between the People's Army and the Ming Army, they were very concerned about the victory or defeat of the People's Army and the Ming Army, they didn't care who won and who lost, they just wanted to guess which side would win, and they could quickly take countermeasures.
"I heard that Mei Yousong transferred a million troops over, and the People's Army is only 200,000 or 300,000 horses, most of them are new soldiers, how is it the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, I think the People's Army is going to be defeated."
"No, I don't think the People's Army was defeated so easily, I don't believe that the Ming Dynasty can transfer a million troops over, how many Ming troops are there in the whole world, the border passes, all places do not need the Ming Army to guard, I think there can be 500,000 Ming troops are many, don't forget, in the previous war, the Ming Army was more than the People's Army, but they were all defeated by the People's Army, this time I am not optimistic about the Ming Army."
"I advise you to pray that the People's Army can defeat the Ming Army, you must know that we are now under the rule of the People's Army, if the Ming Army really exterminates the People's Army, then the whole of Guangdong may be in chaos, no one knows whether the Ming Army will kill the Red Eye, and even kill us at that time, so that the People's Army does not kill us, so that we can live in peace under the rule of the People's Army."
"Yes, yes, the Ming army must not win, the People's Army killed so many people when it occupied Guangdong, and the Ming army snatched Guangdong back, and killed a group of people, especially those of us who still have wealth in their hands, can the Ming army still go to grab mud legs?"
"Well, what's the use of us people having so much money in our hands? It's not like the fish and meat on the chopping board can be cut by others, the People's Army is robbing us of so much farmland, but we still have to hope that the People's Army can defeat the Ming Army, what's the matter. ”
Speaking of which, all the gentry and businessmen sighed, they are most afraid of the chaos of the army, the money is gone, they are afraid that when the life is gone, there is money and food, it is better to have soldiers in their hands, no matter how much they despise those martial artists in peacetime, they still have to rely on them when the war is chaotic.
Obviously, there were very few people in the entire city of Guangzhou who hoped that the People's Army would be defeated by the Ming Army, such as the newly formed small circle of Lu Xuan, Hao Xuan, Wang Mincai, and others, who were all discussing how long it would take for the People's Army to defeat the Ming Army this time.
"I think it's been enough for a day, the main battlefield is in Jiangxi, hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered there, if the Ming army has suffered heavy casualties in the last two battles, this war does not need to continue, I am very puzzled by one thing, why the People's Army did not stop after the last battle victory, if it continues to fight, the People's Army can occupy more territory." Wang Min said what he thought.
Hearing Wang Mincai's words, Lu Yu chuckled and replied:
"The People's Army is different from those anti-thieves in the past, and the People's Army is very stable in all parts of the country, but if you want to achieve this state, it is obvious that the People's Army has enough officials to govern all places, and the People's Army does not continue to expand its territory, it may be that the number of officials is not enough, so the People's Army is ready to open the imperial examination and absorb us people.
In addition, the People's Army was able to defeat the Ming Army, but it also suffered a lot of casualties, and it was not a good thing for the People's Army to continue fighting. ”
"Brother Lu is right, the People's Army is very disciplined, if those thieves in the past, even if they occupy a large territory, I will not think about joining, they will not last long after all.
However, this People's Army is different, they have won the hearts of the people, this time the People's Army defeats the Ming Army, then the People's Army will be stable, even if it cannot overthrow the Ming Dynasty, it can also hold this Guangdong.
Moreover, the People's Army defeated the Ming Army several times, and the Ming Army suffered heavy casualties, I am afraid that the Ming Army stationed in various places is insufficient, and when the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, the People's Army still has a chance to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Hao Xuan also said.
The next battle is too important for the People's Army and the people under the rule of the People's Army, once the People's Army is defeated, the people under the rule of the People's Army will encounter the vicious Ming Army, and if the People's Army wins, no matter how bad the People's Army will be, the status quo will be maintained.
In the eyes of all, the pace of war is getting closer and closer.
