General Qi was dismissed, and the Qi army was scattered, but there were still many Qi family troops active in the Ming army, and the Qi family army could be seen in the encirclement and suppression of the people's army by the Ming army in Guangdong and the Ming court.

In the battle, compared with other Ming armies, the Qi family army is an elite army, but the outcome of the battle is not only a few Qi family army can decide, those generals who were born in the Qi family army have not yet brought the Qi family army model to more Ming troops.

If these generals from the Qi family army were given enough time to display their talents in various parts of the Ming army, the strength of the Ming army at that time would have increased a lot, and the "Qi family army" would have made great contributions in the three major expeditions of Wanli.

Now, it is precisely when the Qi family army is at its lowest point, and more importantly, the Qi family army has lost its soul, and the Qi family army led by others is far from being comparable to the Qi family army led by General Qi.

However, General Qi was lying on the sickbed and getting weaker and weaker, seeing the People's Army growing stronger, I wonder if the courtiers in the court who "did their best" for the Ming Dynasty would regret it?

Wanli can be called the last peak of the Ming Dynasty, but it was Lord Zhang and General Qi who laid the foundation for this peak, but neither of them had the opportunity to see how the latecomers made the Ming Dynasty from the last peak to weaken, maybe now General Qi can see it.

……

On the long border line, the firearms units and cavalry units of the three group armies of the People's Army are constantly active.

They traveled back and forth on both sides of the border, looking for targets that could be attacked, constantly launching attacks on the Ming army, retreating with each "blow", not giving the Ming army a chance to round up at all, and in more than a month, they brought thousands of dead and wounded to the Ming army.

Thousands of dead and wounded were less than one-fortieth of the 200,000 Ming troops gathered outside Guangdong, and the loss was very small, but the attack of the People's Army greatly reduced the morale of the Ming army, and most of the Ming army had to stay in the city after that, and did not dare to run around in the area outside the city, for fear of being attacked by the People's Army who did not know where to find out.

In the course of its development, the People's Army has often used guerrilla tactics, and the essence of the 16-character guerrilla warfare, "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and we disturb, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue" was firmly remembered by the officers.

The sneak attack of the People's Army was very happy, and the Ming troops who could only passively defend were uncomfortable, and in the face of the constantly harassing People's Army, Mei Yousong and other Ming generals had nothing to do.

Previously, the Ming army also formulated various plans to eliminate the incoming people's army, but the people's army was too cunning, and the Ming army could not catch the people's army at all.

In the face of the attack of the People's Army, the task of going out of the city became the last task that the Ming army wanted to perform, and the officer commanders with background and qualifications would try to avoid the task of going out of the city.

The low Ming soldiers were also afraid, but they were just small soldiers, and they couldn't be the masters at all, so they could only hope that their adults would give a little help and not be sent out to the city to carry out the task.

Regarding the attack and harassment of the People's Army, Mei Yousong and Song Yingchang were able to see the purpose of the People's Army, which was to blow the morale of the Ming army and consume the strength of the Ming army.

In the case of being unable to effectively deal with the attacking enemy, Mei Yousong could only give the Ming army an order to "hold on", and at the same time, Mei Yousong also told the Ming army that the people's army was afraid and would use this attack and harassment tactic, and when the Ming army in the rear arrived, the "500,000" army would definitely be able to wipe out the people's army in one battle.

Holding on and waiting for the Ming army in the rear is only the only way for Mei Yousong at present, there are not enough troops, Mei Yousong will not take the initiative to attack the people's army, the strength of the people's army in the front is not less than that of the Ming army, if the follow-up forces are not gathered to attack the people's army, it is very likely to be defeated by the people's army like the previous two wars.

It took more than a month for the People's Army to attack and harass him, and it took more than a month for the Ming army to be killed or wounded, and in another two or three months, the Ming army would be able to gather and launch an attack on the People's Army, and in two or three months, the People's Army would attack and harass again, and the number of casualties of the Ming Army would not exceed 10,000, and the Ming Army would be able to bear this casualty figure.

And under the order of "sticking to it", the Ming army will not give much chance to be attacked and disturbed by the people's army, and send recruits who do not have much combat effectiveness as much as possible to go out of the city to carry out tasks, and the elite troops are staying in the city, recuperating, and waiting for the next battle.

Under the attack of the People's Army, the morale of the Ming army was reduced, but Mei Yousong had a way to improve morale, which was nothing more than three types: promotion, wealth, and women.

There is no way to give the two Mei Yousong Fa Cai and women now, but the promotion is in Mei Yousong's power, and as long as he makes meritorious service in battle, he can be promoted.

And Fa Cai and women, these two are not available to Mei Yousong now, but after the Ming Army defeats the People's Army, Mei Yousong can give them.

According to the information obtained, the People's Army has won the support of the common people in Guangdong, and these ordinary people are no longer the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the people of the People's Army.

It is expected that after this war, there will be more than one million of the nearly 10 million people in Guangdong, anyway, they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, just die, the emperor will not care, the ministers in the court will not care, and the Ming soldiers and soldiers will not care.

In such a large place as Guangdong, with a population of nearly 10 million, the wealth can be imagined, land is the largest wealth, and the number of women is also very large, and all the Ming soldiers are divided into one more.

As long as the People's Army is exterminated, both wealth and women can be obtained, and before the war starts, Mei Yousong will be promoted, wealthy, and women will be rewarded, and it is a strange thing that the morale of the Ming army will not be improved, as long as you make meritorious service, you can get rewards, and you can have what you want.

This is war, a war, ten rooms and nine empty are considered good, maybe some of the people under the rule of the People's Army are not wrong, but they live under the rule of the People's Army, and they also get the benefits of the People's Army, which is a betrayal of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of many ministers of the Ming Court, they are no longer the people of the Ming Dynasty, and if they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, they should die.

Anyway, under the Ming Dynasty, there were so many people, and land began to be scarce, and millions of people died, so a large area of land was vacated, and the extra population from other places could be relocated, which could save a lot of trouble.

This situation is not only happening to the People's Army, but also to the anti-thieves who have appeared in the past, regardless of whether they have contact with the anti-thieves or not, as long as they live under the rule of the anti-thieves, after the anti-thieves are exterminated, less than one-tenth of the ordinary people can survive before the war.

It's very cruel, but there are very few of those big officials who can consider the life and death of the common people, even if they are poor students, after they become showmen, they are no longer in the same class as the people at the bottom, the higher their status, the farther away they will be from the common people.

The country of Daming has been completely broken from top to bottom.
