January is not over yet, and more people are leaving the mountains with missions.

Generally, they are in groups of two, all men, one is a soldier of the People's Army, whose main task is to train young and strong, and the other is a person with relatively good eloquence who is good at using language to unite the people.

After leaving the mountain, they did not go to the mission immediately, but first visited the villages that had been united by the People's Army.

Many people may still be out of the mountains for the first time, if they go out of the mountains for the first time to go to the villages they have never been in contact with to carry out tasks, it is easy to have problems, they need to go to familiar villages to familiarize themselves with the outside world, and then go to the villages they have not been in contact with to unite the poor people.

"Fellow, how is your life? Living by renting landlords' land and living a hungry and full life? Harm, the landlord is really hateful, and he doesn't give us a way to live at all. ”

"Our people's army is the people's army, the army of the common people, our goal is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and our obligation is to protect the poor people all over the world."

"Our People's Army is an army composed of poor people, we are very strong, we have exterminated dozens of bandits such as Seven Wolf Village, so that many ordinary people are not attacked by bandits, and our next goal is the official army."

"The Metropolitan Governor told us that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, there are so many poor people in the world, even one person and one punch can knock down all the officials and soldiers, as long as we unite most of the poor people in the world, we can overthrow the Ming Dynasty."

"Join the People's Army, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, everyone can have their own land, family members will no longer starve to death due to lack of food, and a new era is coming."

"The Metropolitan Governor is not an ordinary person, he was sent by God to lead us to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, under the call of the Metropolitan Governor, thousands of ordinary people have gathered, under the leadership of the Metropolitan Governor, we will be invincible!"

Soon, the group, who had been familiar with the outside world, began to move, and they went to villages that the People's Army had not yet come into contact with, and told the poor people about the purpose of the People's Army.

Rebellion will kill people, fear of death is human nature, if it is replaced by other places where the lives of ordinary people are okay, then the vast majority of ordinary people will not be united by the People's Army, for ordinary people, as long as they can live well, they will not care who rules them.

Even though every peasant uprising was quickly suppressed by the official army, under the oppression of the government and landlords, there were constantly poor people who risked their lives and chose to rebel.

The life of the common people has been so miserable, at this time the People's Army stood up and was willing to lead the poor people all over the world to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and distribute land to the poor people, and more importantly, the People's Army is different from other peasant uprisings, the leader of the People's Army is extraordinary, the People's Army is a powerful army, and the People's Army has the confidence to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the poor people who were about to lose their lives were quickly united by the People's Army.

Compared with the previous time it took half a year or even a year to unite the common people of a village, it now takes only a dozen days or even a few days to unite the common people of a village, which is undoubtedly very radical and easy to be discovered by the enemies of the People's Army, and the People's Army can only find ways to reduce the risk of being discovered.

Fortunately, such a radical action will only last for about half a year, and after the autumn harvest, the KPA will no longer need to hide from the enemy in this way.

Uniting the common people is only a task for the People's Army to send people to the outside world to carry out, and in addition to this, there is also an extraordinary task, which is to investigate the deployment of the Ming army's troops, such as how many Ming troops are in the county town, and what are the important Ming army garrison locations within the range.

There are also large landlords who are also the focus of the investigation, and many of the big landlords' estates can have hundreds of guards, a landlord has dozens or hundreds of guards, and dozens or hundreds of landlords can unite to gather an army of 10,000 people, even if it is just a rabble, it is also a certain threat to the people's army.

After the People's Army raises the flag, there are three main objectives, the first is to attack the city, the second is to eliminate the Ming army in the area, the third is to eliminate the power in the hands of the landlords, and the fourth is to exterminate the bandits and bandits in the area, this can be implemented a little later, and the bandits and bandits will basically not unite with the Ming army to attack the People's Army.

Compared with the Ming army, the number of the People's Army is still a little small, even if the People's Army firearms unit is stronger, it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the number of casualties caused by attacking the city and destroying the enemy, and intelligence has become a very crucial matter.

By February, as the deputy head of the People's Army's firearms unit, Hu Zhuang had already left the mountains to take up residence in a village united by the People's Army, directing and arranging intelligence personnel to go to Yong'an County and Haifeng County to collect intelligence.

The intelligence personnel are mainly firearms soldiers who originally lived outside the mountains, and they all have household registrations, so there is not much problem in entering and leaving the city, and they are trained in the firearms units and have the ideological education of instructors, so the possibility of betraying the KPA is very small.

Collecting intelligence on Yong'an County and Haifeng County, it can basically be said that the People's Army will be the first to take these two counties after raising the flag.

Qingshanzhai and Hutouzhai are both within the territory of Yongan County, Yongan County must be taken, the south of Yongan County is Haifeng County, Haifeng County is adjacent to the sea, as long as Haifeng County is taken again, the People's Army will not be attacked on all sides on land, but the Ming army has a naval division, and it is also possible to send a naval division to attack from the sea, which is a problem that needs to be paid attention to.

At present, the main scope of activities of the People's Army is Yong'an County and Haifeng County, and the enemy is mainly the Weisuo Army, followed by the county town defenders and the escort of large households.

The number of defenders in the county town is the smallest, under normal circumstances, there are only a few hundred defenders in a county seat, Haifeng County is adjacent to the sea, there will be a little more, the county garrison is a relatively weak one in the army system of the Ming Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment, training and so on is far less than that of the guard.

Compared with the county town defenders, if the guards and young people of the large families in the county are gathered, the number of people is several times that of the county town guards, and some of the guards may have more personal strength than the county town guards, but when the number exceeds 100, the same number of guards is basically not the opponent of the county town guards.

The strength of the Weisuo army is the strongest among the three, and it is the biggest enemy of the people's army, and there are two main Weisuo troops that the people's army has to face after raising the flag, one is the Huizhou guard, and the other is the Jieshi guard adjacent to the sea.
