Chapter 111: The People's Army That Continues to Be Despised

In just three days, the central government of the People's Army was formally established, and in another three days, all the officials transferred from the six counties took up their posts, and the central government began to play its functions.

The newly established central government was in fact very simple, and Fang Nan did not divide the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Taxation and many other departments in a modern way, but only set up six departments: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry.

The most important reason is that the People's Army is too young, and there are relatively few people who have the ability to serve as the head of a department, and everyone is growing rapidly.

At present, in the central government of the People's Army, Zhao Hong is the head of the Ministry of Officials, Ding Wei is the head of the Household Department, Cheng Xinyuan is the head of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Zhuang is the head of the War Department, Shen Minghui is the head of the Criminal Department, and Wang Mu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Six ministers and one secretary general, seven of whom are all students of Fang Nan, and eight of them together form the core of the People's Army.

For the current People's Army, the importance of the Ministry of War is almost equal to that of the other five departments combined, without the army, the People's Army will not be able to gain a foothold in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, the matters reported below are first sent to various departments according to the category, and the small things are directly solved, and the major matters are solved and then sent to Fang Nan for approval.

It can be said that the secretary general and six ministers can form a small cabinet, but the KPA is still relatively weak, and it is still early before the founding of the country.

The central government of the KPA is already functioning, and the territory of the six districts is also rapidly merging into a whole, increasing the strength of the KPA.

In the territory of the People's Army, many units have already begun to move, especially in Longchuan County and where the former Haifeng Qianhu is located, and the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 2nd Mixed Brigade are rapidly assembling and will set out for the battle at a certain date.

Just when the People's Army was about to expand, the Canton Governor Wu Wenhua's recital had been quickly sent to the capital.

Knowing that there was a riot in Guangdong, and that the 20,000 Ming troops who surrounded and suppressed the rebels would be defeated, such information only caused a small stir in the court.

At present, the scope of the People's Army's activities is very small, only in most of Huizhou Prefecture and the small part of Chaozhou Prefecture, simply put, it is to plunder the land of a government, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there are many people who have plundered a place, which is not enough to shake the court.

If the People's Army swept through a province and had a huge impact on the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible.

In the recital, Wu Wenhua's description of the strength of the People's Army is only "more than 10,000 troops and equipped with many firearms", such a chaotic people are not eye-catching to the adults in the capital at all, at most they are surprised by the death of tens of thousands of Ming troops.

However, there were also several officials who were hostile to Wu Wenhua and asked Emperor Zhu Yijun (then 22 years old) to punish Wu Wenhua, but there were also officials who were in the same camp or better than Wu Wenhua opposed the punishment.

In the end, Zhu Yijun decided to put aside the matter of punishing Wu Wenhua and wait for the extermination of the rebellious people before making a decision, but Ren Jianxiu, who lost the battle, did not let go and was removed from the post of Ren Jianxiu's general army.

Regarding Wu Wenhua's request to transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses from Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, Zhu Yijun directly played it.

Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian each have 10,000 soldiers and horses, Guangdong itself has mobilized another 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the Ming army will dispatch 50,000 or 60,000 troops to launch the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army.

Soon, Zhu Yijun's reply and the transfer order left the capital and sent to Guangdong and the surrounding three political departments.

The distance between Guangzhou and the capital is 4,000 miles in a straight line, and this time and forth, at least half a month has passed, and it is expected that the People's Army will have launched an attack on the target by then.

The 1st Mixed Brigade and the 2nd Mixed Brigade are preparing to go on the expedition, and on the other side, He Yan's 3rd Mixed Brigade has already made a move.

When Wu Wenhua knew that Ren Jianxiu had suffered a defeat and the crisis in Huizhou Fucheng, he immediately dropped a battalion of 3,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to Huizhou Fucheng to support.

Without much baggage, this battalion of the Ming army marched for five days, has rushed to Huizhou Fucheng, with the addition of these 3,000 soldiers and horses, Huizhou Fucheng area gathered more than 8,000 Ming troops, of which the previous rout has recovered some morale after a few days.

With 8,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Ren Jianxiu still stayed honestly in the Huizhou Fucheng area, and at most he sent spies to investigate the situation of the People's Army in Guishan County, and he did not dare to march to Guishan County again.

In Ren Jianxiu's view, the 15,000 troops he led before were defeated by the People's Army, and now there are only 8,000 people left in his hands, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the People's Army, and holding the capital city of Huizhou is the key.

Taking advantage of the darkness, He Yan led three infantry companies of firearms and two battalions of cold weapons troops to leave Guishan County and enter the mountains and forests westward.

Marching in the mountains and forests, it was difficult to be discovered by the Ming army spies, He Yan led the troops to explore the city of Huizhou.

This time he attacked, He Yan had two purposes, one was to find an opportunity to destroy the Ming cavalry troops in the Huizhou Fucheng area, and the other was to find an opportunity to eliminate more Ming troops.

He Yan's Third Mixed Brigade has already transferred two companies of the firearms unit and two battalions of the cold weapons unit to Hu Zhuang's Second Mixed Brigade, and its strength has dropped a lot.

This time, He Yan led the troops to attack, in fact, the most fundamental purpose was to deter the Ming army in the Huizhou Fucheng area, so that they would not dare to act rashly, and just stay in the Huizhou Fucheng area honestly.

Obviously, killing is deterrence.

Leaving Guishan County at night, the Ming army spies did not know that the People's Army in Guishan County was suddenly missing, but the People's Army did not move.

This is equivalent to good news for most of the Ming army in the Huizhou Fucheng area, at least there is no need to fight with the People's Army, the last battle scared them, many people never want to fight with the People's Army again, in the last battle, too many colleagues died, the last time they did not die, the next time it may be their turn.

Morale is a very important thing for the army, and the morale of the army is weak, and it may be only a tenth of the casualties, which can cause the army to desert or even rout.

A battle wiped out the morale of the Ming army, even if it recovered, with this morale, the Ming soldiers did not dare to fight with the People's Army, and even many people did not even dare to confront the People's Army by defending the city of Huizhou.
