At the end of the meeting on the next battle plan, Fang Nan immediately sent cavalry to Yong'an County with his own orders, and sent the orders to Wang Shengrong, the commander of the First Mixed Brigade.

For the People's Army, grain and grass, gunpowder, lead bullets, and artillery shells are the most important materials, and grain and grass are not lacking at all after the People's Army has raided many large households, and gunpowder, lead bullets, and artillery shells also have sufficient reserves after the People's Army has eliminated the Jieshi Weiming Army, which can at least support the firearms troops to carry out a big war.

If you think about it in the future, gunpowder is still the most needed material for the People's Army, and the Yongan County People's Army Government and the Haifeng County People's Army Government have purchased saltpeter from all the ordinary people under their rule.

When the time came to 24 September, the Ming troops mobilized by Ren Jianxiu were still making logistical preparations, and Fang Nan took six companies of the firearms unit (including an artillery company), two regiments of the cold weapons unit, a first-arrival battalion, a female barracks, and a number of medical team personnel, totaling nearly 4,000 people, left the city outside Haifeng County and marched to the west of Haifeng County.

According to the deployment of the Ming army in Guangdong, Fang Nan easily came to the conclusion that the west of Yongan County and Haifeng County would be the main direction of attack of the Ming army.

The neighbors to the west of Yongan County and Haifeng County are Guishan County under the rule of Huizhou Prefecture, with a population of less than 100,000 and no garrison in the territory, but Guishan County is Huizhou Mansion City to the west, and there is Huizhou Wei Headquarters here.

The People's Army of Fangnan 1st Road set out from Haifeng County in the morning, and after half of the afternoon, it entered the territory of Guishan County, marched for another hour, camped and rested, and the scouts rode their horses to investigate the situation in the surrounding dozens of miles.

According to the investigation of the scouts, the manors of all the large landlords in the front (west) of the People's Army on Fangnan Road were either empty, or a few people were left to guard them, and there was not much trace of wealth in the manor at all.

The scouts went to a village as Ming soldiers to inquire, and learned from the common people that most of the people in Guishan County already knew about the rebellion in Haifeng County and Yongan County.

There are rebels in Haifeng County and Yongan County, and the rebels will also capture the two county seats, and the next step is definitely to move to the periphery and occupy more plates, and Guishan County is one of the targets.

The big landlords know that once the chaotic people come over, it doesn't matter whether the poor people run away or not, the chaotic people are composed of quite a lot of poor people, but they must run, and if they don't run and wait for the chaotic people to come, they will definitely die.

The big landlords know very well in their hearts that the so-called chaotic people are forced out by them and the government, in other words, they are the enemies of the chaotic people, and in the face of the enemy, the chaotic people will rush over and bite like crazy people, and they will not let go of any of them.

Therefore, after knowing the affairs of the rioters in Haifeng County and Yongan County, no matter whether the rioters will come to Guishan County or not, the big landlords in Guishan County close to Haifeng County and Yongan County will transfer their wealth to Guishan County for the first time, and even to Huizhou Fucheng.

The large landlords basically have real estate in the county, and they are usually guarded and taken care of, and they can move in when they come to the county.

Once there is an accident in the process of transfer, the wealth is robbed by the official army and bandits, and there is still buried wealth in the manor, and when the chaotic people are exterminated by the official army, they can come back and take out the buried wealth and continue to be their landlords.

Huizhou Prefecture was originally an area where peasant uprisings frequently occurred in Guangdong, and the big landlords already had experience in "dealing with" the rebellious people.

In fact, the big landlords don't want to see riots in or around their territory, but this is a difficult thing to control.

The people are greedy, and most of the landlords are eager to squeeze and exploit the tenants more, so as to gain more wealth, and farmland is also an important wealth, and the landlords want to get more farmland, so they can only try to seize it from the peasants who still have farmland, and the peasants become tenants if they have no farmland.

The government's collection of taxes is already very high for tenants, and there is a possibility that taxes will be raised privately, which is even more unbearable.

There are also the landlord's dogs, the dogs fight the human power, and the landlords will not bully the people with their own identity, but these dogs will do it.

It can be said that the common people are bullied by the government, landlords, and landlords, and their lives are miserable, and it is not a strange thing that there are often chaotic people, especially in Guangdong, which is far away from the capital and the political center of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if there are good-hearted landlords who are better for the surrounding people, it is a pity that once the chaotic people appear, it doesn't matter whether you are a good landlord or a bad landlord, if you are a big family, you are the enemy of the chaotic people.

Fang Nan, He Yan and other high-ranking members of the People's Army listened to the report of the scouts and understood that there were no big landlords to start with, which did not matter to the People's Army of Fang Nan Yi Road, originally Fang Nan led the army westward to contain the main force of the Ming army.

It is just a convenient thing to do it to the big landlords, and the Fangnan 1st Road People's Army will not even unite the people in Guishan County, it takes time to unite the people, and Guishan County may become a battlefield between the People's Army and the Ming Army, and the ordinary people who are united by the People's Army and cannot leave with the People's Army are easily implicated by the People's Army and treated as enemies by the Ming Army.

However, during the march of the People's Army on Fangnan Road, if a blacksmith or carpenter is found, he must be taken away and sent to Hutou Village.

When the Fangnan 1st Road People's Army marched west to Guishan County, most of the Hu Zhuang 1st Road People's Army also left Haifeng Qianhu and entered Chaozhou Mansion in the east.

The only people left behind in Haifeng Qianhu were a company of the Cold Weapons Unit and two battalions of recruits who had been transferred from elsewhere.

The scale of the small town occupied by the thousand households is not as large as the county seat, but the residents in the small town are all family members of the guards, so many Ming soldiers were killed by the people's army in the battle, hatred has been generated, there are quite a lot of people in the small city who are hostile to the people's army, no matter how the people's army unites them, it is useless, if there is a chance, they will rush up and bite it.

Therefore, in the small town of Qianhusuo, the People's Army must garrison enough troops, and the Jieshiwei headquarters and other Qianhu offices have a battalion of cold weapons troops stationed in them, and the strength is enough to control the small city, and there is only one company left in Haifeng Qianhusuo, and there are no other troops to call, so the recruits who have only trained for a few days will be transferred over, and the recruits will not have enough combat effectiveness, so they will win by numbers.

Recruits are armed with weapons and can deal with women and minors who have few weapons.
