Yongding County is located in Tingzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, adjacent to the People's Army's ruling area, and it has been six days since the People's Army occupied Yongding County.

The People's Army occupied Yongding County effortlessly, as soon as it approached Yongding County, the Ming army stationed in Yongding County obeyed Zheng Yuewen's order and began to retreat, and when the People's Army occupied the entire Yongding County, Yongding County no longer had a Ming court official, Ming army soldiers, and even the gentry and businessmen ran out.

As soon as the People's Army occupied Yongding County, the next day the officials of the People's Army came to Yongding County, and in just two days, the Yongding County People's Military Government was established and began to operate normally.

As the work unfolded, the officials of the People's Army Government were very surprised that the people of Yongding County did not have much rejection of the People's Army, but were more cooperative with the People's Army in carrying out its work, and the people outside the city were more cooperative with the People's Army than the people in the city, and they could not wait for the People's Army to divide the land.

KPA officials quickly figured out why this was the case, as Yongding County was adjacent to the KPA-ruled area, and some of the information in the KPA-ruled area spread to Yongding County, and even MI agents would spread the KPA situation everywhere.

Most of the low-level people in Yongding County do not have their own land, and they are very eager for life in the People's Army-ruled area, and even want to drag their families to the People's Army-ruled area to start a new life.

It's just that the Ming army is stationed in Yongding County, and the common people can't go to the area ruled by the People's Army, and some ordinary people even often pray to God, hoping that the People's Army will come soon.

It can be said that the closer you are to the KPA-ruled areas, the more the people in the area know about the KPA and welcome the arrival of the KPA, but if you move to a place very far away from the KPA-ruled area, the common people there may regard the KPA as a demon and monster that eats people under the propaganda of the government and landlords.

It is also because of the support of the people of Yongding County that the People's Army originally left 1,000 troops in Yongding County, but now it has been reduced to 500, if Yongding County has been stable, in the end the People's Army garrison in Yongding County will only retain a battalion of more than 300 people.

The Second Group Army of the People's Army has not been at war with the Ming army in Fujian, and according to the information obtained by the agents of the Military Intelligence Department, it is almost possible to meet the People's Army and the Ming Army in a major battle in the Fujian region to determine the ownership of Fujian.

The KPA is strong, but it is not arrogant enough to be ten at the top, and on the premise of maintaining order in various localities, it will transfer its troops to the front as much as possible.

As time passed, the news of the defeat of Li Chengliang's army had spread from Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, and Guangxi to farther places, and the chaos spread rapidly, and the magnates, gentry and businessmen even thought that the south was not safe and were ready to run further north, and they still hoped that the Ming court would be able to reorganize the army and exterminate the people's army.

But there are also many people who feel that the Ming Dynasty is going to change hands, and it is useless to run to the ends of the earth, so they have a cunning rabbit three holes, some of them stay, some of them go to the north, and some of them find a way to join the People's Army.

Finally, the defeat of Li Chengliang's army was reported to the capital.

"Li Chengliang is defeated? No way, I don't believe it! ”

In the imperial study, Zhu Yijun's face was full of anger, he couldn't believe that Li Chengliang was defeated like this, it was a million army, and the fifty men and horses under Li Chengliang's personal command were the main force of the million army, and Li Chengliang's army was defeated, which was equivalent to the defeat of a million army, and the plan to encircle and suppress the People's Army was a complete failure.

It is not only a question of the failure of the plan to encircle and suppress the People's Army, the million-strong army is more than two-thirds of the total strength of the current Ming Dynasty, and the million-strong army has been defeated, how should the Ming Dynasty resist the People's Army.

Before this, Zhu Yijun still thought that Li Chengliang and the People's Army would fight for the death and the other crippled, and finally kill the crippled tiger, and the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty were gone, which was definitely a perfect plan.

Now this perfect plan was so simply scrapped, Li Chengliang's army was defeated, and the defeat was very bad, and it was defeated by the People's Army in the first battle, and the number of casualties of the People's Army was still very small.

Zhu Yijun didn't want to believe that Li Chengliang had lost, and he couldn't accept this result.

After a long time, Zhu Yijun sat paralyzed, what was written in the battle report was clear, Zhu Yijun had to believe it if he didn't believe it, since Li Chengliang's army was defeated, now Zhu Yijun has to find a way to resist the people's army, if he can't stop the people's army, the Ming Dynasty is going to die, and Zhu Yijun doesn't want the Ming Dynasty to die in his hands.

It was already night, half an hour later, the important ministers of the Ming court hurriedly gathered in the palace, they didn't know why the emperor was in a hurry to summon them, many ministers had a little feeling in their hearts, probably because of the thief.

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair expressionlessly, and a eunuch read the battle report sent back from the front line to the ministers, listening to the eunuch's words, and soon, one by one, the ministers turned pale.

Li Chengliang is defeated!

Zhu Yijun understands the consequences of the defeat of Li Chengliang's army, and the ministers also understand the consequences of the defeat of Li Chengliang's army, even Li Chengliang's army is defeated, and the Ming court still has that army that can resist the people's army? can't stop the People's Army, isn't Daming going to die?

After the eunuch finished reading the battle report, Zhu Yijun finally spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a plan to destroy the thief?"

Zhu Yijun's words were very cold, the ministers in the cold hall did not dare to speak, even Li Chengliang's army was defeated, how could they, the civil servants, defeat the people's army and kill the enemy with words?

"There is no way to destroy thieves, but there is a way to stop thieves?"

Zhu Yijun asked again, and after asking, there was silence in the hall for a long time.

It was midnight, and the important ministers of the Ming court were all old, and their bodies were a little unbearable, and Zhu Yijun did not ask anyone to show the ministers a seat, just when the ministers were about to hold on, finally a minister said:

"Your Majesty, two years ago, Daming and the thieves ceased war, and it is okay now."

Hearing the courtier's words, Zhu Yijun's face was a little more angry, two years ago he signed an armistice agreement with the People's Army, this is a shame, if the People's Army had been wiped out, there would be no such thing as today.

Anger comes and goes quickly, it was all two years ago, today's People's Army is a greater threat to the Ming Dynasty, if it can sign an armistice agreement like two years ago, Zhu Yijun can also accept it.

When the ministers saw the change in Zhu Yijun's face, they immediately understood that Zhu Yijun had some ideas about this method, and they all stood up and agreed to negotiate peace with the People's Army.

The words of the ministers made Zhu Yijun's face look much better, as the emperor, Zhu Yijun couldn't take the initiative to say this, since the ministers all expressed their approval of peace talks, Zhu Yijun could open his mouth.

"Then negotiate with the thief." Zhu Yijun said a little weakly.
