"Thorn!"

The instructor shouted, and dozens of young men in front of him stabbed forward with long wooden sticks as spears.

"Stab again!"

"Dense formation!"

"Scatter in two teams to surround the enemy!"

The instructor gave orders one by one, and the young men all made the corresponding actions in good condition, so it can be known that the training time of the young men is not short.

This is the Lin family, a village outside the mountains, living in more than 100 families, a year ago Du Zhan and He Quan came to the Lin family as poor scholars, became a teacher, teaching the children of the Lin family to read and write.

Teaching is only a secondary task for Du Zhan and He Quan when they come to the Lin family, and the real task of the two is to unite the poor people of the Lin family.

More than a year has passed, and with the efforts of Du Zhan and He Quan, the people of the Lin family have turned their hearts to the People's Army and are willing to follow the People's Army to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

There are many reasons why the people of the Lin family can be so happy to the People's Army:

The first is that two-thirds of the Lin family does not have their own land, and the remaining one-third of the families who have land, and no more than five households can cultivate their own land, so they can only rent the landlord's land to barely survive, and their life is very difficult.

The second is that Huizhou Prefecture was originally an area where peasant uprisings were frequent, and the common people of the Lin family had heard about the peasant rebellion and sympathized with the rebellious peasants.

The third is that the purpose of the People's Army is recognized by the common people of the Lin family, and if the People's Army can overthrow the Ming Dynasty, they will be able to obtain their own land.

And the fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on.

Anyway, in less than a year, Du Zhan and He Quan completed their task of coming to Lin's house, after completing the task, Du Zhan and He Quan did not leave directly, but continued to teach, at least to complete their own teaching task, and at the same time the People's Army sent two newcomers, or two People's Army soldiers.

Two KPA soldiers came to Lin's house and became instructors, attracting many young people from the Lin family to join the KPA with the idea of the KPA and the benefits of joining the KPA.

Most of the people in the Lin family have no land, and the young and strong people might as well join the People's Army to fight, even if they die in battle, as long as the People's Army overthrows the Ming Dynasty, their families will be able to share more land.

Now the Lin family has formed two platoons of the cold weapons unit of the People's Army, and they are still ordinary people on weekdays, busy with work every day, and in their free time, they will conduct military training under the organization of instructors, and compared with the firearms unit of the People's Army, only the firearms training part is missing.

In addition, because it is impossible to gather enough mountain people in the mountains to complete the expansion of the People's Army's firearms unit, the Lin family will also select outstanding personnel to enter the firearms unit, but after joining the firearms unit, it is impossible to return to the Lin family for a short time.

The Lin family is just one of dozens of villages outside the mountains that have changed, and in other villages, there are also teachers who teach the children in the village to read and write, and there are also instructors who train young people.

Seven months have passed since the expansion of the People's Army's firearms unit, and basically one regiment of the firearms unit has been fully staffed, and in addition to the firearms unit, the number of cold weapons units is also increasing rapidly, and it has now exceeded 2,000 people.

The more than 2,000 people of the cold weapons unit are scattered among dozens of villages that are interested in the People's Army, and there are two platoons in villages like Lin's family, and there are more than one company in other villages, and there are also one platoon in others, and there are more than 2,000 people in total.

However, a firearms unit of less than 1,500 people in a regiment, plus a cold weapon unit of more than 2,000 people, looks good, but the number is too small compared with the Ming army, and the training is not enough, and it is not enough to support the people's army to raise the flag.

In the first month of the thirteenth year of Wanli, Fang Nan convened the main members of the People's Army in Hutou Village, and most of the students taught by Fang Nan alone came, and the personnel were mainly in three aspects: management, military, and research.

The main members arrived, the meeting began, and Fang Nan laid out the final plan before the KPA raised the flag.

"Most of our preparations have been carried out, and it is expected that in a year at most, our People's Army will raise its flag and declare war on the Ming Dynasty, and after the autumn harvest this year, it will be the best time.

There are three main tasks for us next, the first is to unite more ordinary people in the outside world, provided that we try not to let the government and large landlords pay attention to it; Second, we should expand the size of the cold weapons unit as much as possible, and if possible, continue to expand the size of the firearms unit. Third, the production of tiger head guns should be increased as much as possible on the Hutou Zhai side. ”

Hearing the words of the teacher/leader/metropolitan governor, the participants couldn't calm down in their hearts, and many people looked excited, they had been waiting for this day for a long time, especially the students taught by Fang Nan himself.

As a member of the People's Army, some of them may have the intention of "being promoted to become a superior person", but "overthrowing the Ming Dynasty" is the common goal of everyone, and they also agree with the purpose of the People's Army, which is enough.

Even Fang Nan, the founder of the People's Army, didn't he overthrow the Ming Dynasty because he wanted to live a good life, why overthrow the Ming Dynasty for the sake of the poor people all over the world, this is just Fang Nan's words in order to unite the poor people all over the world, if Fang Nan is the son of a landlord, can he still lead the people to rebel?

Of course, the words spoken must also be done, and if they can't, it will be like "water can carry a boat and capsize a boat".

Just shouting a slogan, and then carrying out the so-called brainwashing education, you can make other people die for themselves, Fang Nan thinks that he can't do this, he can get to this point, Fang Nan thinks that he has done well enough.

At the end of the meeting, the members left to make final preparations for the raising of the KPA flag, and the more this time went, the more careful the KPA became.

In the past, the activities of the People's Army were only carried out in villages in and out of the mountains, but now the People's Army has to unite more people, and the villages near the mountains have been united, and the next step is to unite the people in villages farther away from the mountains.

The farther away from the mountains, the closer it is to the county seat, and the closer it is to the big landlords, the easier it will be for the activities of the People's Army to be discovered.

The current KPA is not ready, the firearms unit has not completed all the training, the cold weapon unit is small in number and has not been assembled, once it is noticed by the enemy, or even mobilized the army to encircle and suppress, then the KPA will be in danger, and the hasty uprising of the Yellow Turban Army is an example.

In order to have a better development in the early stage of raising the flag, the KPA must take advantage of the fact that the enemy is not aware of it, lay down some territory, destroy some enemies, and then unite the people in the territory to expand the size of the KPA so as to defeat more enemies.
