Huizhou and Guangzhou are separated by 240 miles, and the news of the "Ming army's defeat" was sent to Wu Wenhua on the second day of the Ming army's defeat.

"What? Mr. Ren was defeated? Receiving the news of the Ming army's fiasco, Wu Wenhua was shocked and angry.

That's an army of 15,000, in the north and east, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in each of them, except for the rebels, with a total strength of more than 20,000, how can they be defeated so quickly, or in the hands of a group of rebels.

Staying in the city of Guangzhou, Wu Wenhua could only be anxious, unable to understand the specific situation ahead, until Ren Jianxiu's letter was delivered to Wu Wenhua half a day later, Wu Wenhua learned the specific situation of the army's fiasco.

"This group of rebels is so strong? There are also sharp firearms, no, we must mobilize a large army as soon as possible to exterminate these chaotic people! ”

Looking at Ren Jianxiu's letter, Wu Wenhua did not have much doubt about the content of the letter, Wu Wenhua was still very clear about Ren Jianxiu's personality, and knew that Ren Jianxiu would not do anything that exaggerated the enemy.

The strength of the rebels is really strong, 15,000 troops have been defeated by the rebels, and there are no enough troops in Huizhou Prefecture and the surrounding areas to resist the rebels, and this group of rebels will bring the chaos to more places.

"I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses in Guangdong alone will not be enough to exterminate the rebellious people, and it seems that it is necessary to mobilize troops and horses from other political departments (provinces)."

Wu Wenhua quickly thought of the problem.

Under normal circumstances, when there was a group of rebellious people in Guangdong, Wu Wenhua ordered people to lead the army to exterminate them, and after exterminating the rebellious people, he directly reported to the court to explain that the matter was over, and this was only for ordinary rebellious people whose influence was not more than one county.

And for a traitor like the People's Army, who had already swept through the six counties and killed 17,000 Ming troops and had a huge impact in Guangdong, Wu Wenhua had to report the matter to the imperial court after the first encirclement and suppression failed.

The emergence of the People's Army and the failure of the Ming Army to encircle and suppress the People's Army also had a huge impact on Wu Wenhua, the governor of Guangdong, and he would lose his official position if he was not careful.

If you lose your official position, you will lose your official position, Wu Wenhua doesn't care about this, he just wants to exterminate the rebels as soon as possible and restore peace to Huizhou Mansion.

After thinking about the matter, Wu Wenhua immediately wrote a recital, and quickly sent the recital to the capital, and then Wu Wenhua began to transfer troops, first mobilizing a battalion of 3,000 soldiers and horses to Huizhou Mansion to resist the rebels, and then more soldiers and horses will march eastward.

Just when Wu Wenhua was dispatching troops, Fang Nan, who had been sitting in Guishan County, left Guishan County with a team of soldiers and horses, and headed northeast, preparing to go to Hutou Village first, and finally arrived at Yong'an County, where the People's Army in Guishan County was commanded by He Yan.

Before leaving Guishan County, Fang Nan told He Yan to allow He Yan to lead the troops to move between Guishan County and Huizhou Prefecture, so that he could find an opportunity to carry out a sneak attack on the Ming army, and it was best to kill the Ming cavalry.

When Fang Nan left Guishan County, two small groups of cavalry set off first, and they would take Fang Nan's letters to Longchuan County and the western part of Chaozhou Prefecture respectively, and hand over the letters to Wang Shengrong and Hu Zhuang.

The content of the letter is very simple, the letter to Wang Shengrong is to ask Wang Shengrong to return to Yong'an County, and the letter to Hu Zhuang is to ask Hu Zhuang to lead the troops to withdraw to Haifeng County, and then go to Yong'an County.

From Guishan County to Hutou Village, I walked a section of official road, and then walked a section of mountain road, and it took more than two days to arrive at Hutou Village.

Seeing the return of her husband, Hu Xiaoya cried with joy, it was the first time that Hu Xiaoya had been separated from Fang Nan for such a long time, and Fang Nan still carried out such a dangerous thing as leading the army to fight.

Every night, Hu Xiaoya would cry silently and keep praying to God to bless Fang Nan for his safe return.

Finally, Fang Nan is back!

Fang Nan waved his subordinates back, hugged his crying wife in his arms, and comforted him softly.

"Don't cry, don't cry, others don't know my strength, don't you know, little girl?"

Hu Xiaoya didn't speak, crying non-stop, as if she wanted to vent all the emotions in her heart.

……

Fang Nan will only stay in Hutou Village for less than a day, and will leave for Yong'an County early tomorrow morning, Hu Xiaoya knows that Fang Nan is very busy, just stay with Fang Nan for a while and leave Fang Nan's arms and let Fang Nan deal with affairs.

"Little girl, soon, soon we won't be separated for so long."

Hu Xiaoya nodded, keeping this sentence in her heart, hoping that this day would come soon.

As the only arsenal of the People's Army, the importance of Hutou Village can be imagined, Hu Xiaoya is here to watch on weekdays, and Fang Nan finally found time to take a trip to Hutou Village.

With the blacksmiths and carpenters from six counties gathered in Hutou Village, and some people who were punished with hard labor were also sent, the population of the entire Hutou Village has exceeded 5,000, which is a relatively large town.

However, Hutou Village is in the mountains, and it will be more difficult to continue to expand, Fang Nan is also worried about an accident on the Hutou Zhai side, and plans to build a second arsenal in other places, as the People's Army next captures more territory, there will be more carpenters and blacksmiths to be recruited.

Wang Dazhui is one of the main persons in charge of Hutou Village, after Fang Nan returned to Hutou Village, Wang Da Hammer rushed to Fang Nan after learning the news, and has been waiting outside the house.

Seeing Fang Nan walk out of the house, Wang Dazhui, Chen Kang and the others took a few steps forward and shouted together: "Metropolitan Governor." ”

"You've worked hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's hard work when most of the governors lead the troops to fight." Wang Dazhui said with a grin.

Listening to Wang Dazhui's words, Fang Nan shook his head helplessly.

Returning to business, Fang Nan asked Wang Dazhui, Chen Kang and others about the current situation of Hutou Village, such as the output of tiger head guns, the output of tiger head guns, how much iron and steel can be smelted every day, how many blacksmiths and carpenters there are, how many coolies there are, and how many people are in the total population of Hutou Village.

Wang Dazhui, Chen Kang and others replied to Fang Nan's questions one by one.

"You guys prepare, the mountains are still a little inconvenient, I am ready to look for a place outside, build a second 'Hutou Village', and then need to mobilize some people from Hutou Village."

"Yes."

After speaking, under the guidance of Wang Dazhui, Chen Kang and others, Fang Nan inspected Hutou Village, went to the mine area, went to the place where the coolies lived, walked around in Hutou Village, and went to build tiger head guns and tiger head guns.

There are many people who know Fang Nan in Hutou Village, no matter how old or small, whether the relationship is far or near, they will respectfully shout "Dadu Governor".

The Metropolitan Governor came to inspect Hutou Village, which was indeed a big event for the residents of Hutou Village, and people who had nothing to do soon gathered around Fang Nan to see Fang Nan with their own eyes, and many people had fanaticism in their eyes.

A month has passed since the People's Army raised its flag, and the People's Army has laid down a considerable piece of territory, and more and more people believe that the People's Army will overthrow the Ming Dynasty and let the poor people in the world live a good life.
