There are two main military systems in the Ming Dynasty, one is the guard system and the other is the conscription system.

The guard system is to set up a guard garrison in military important places throughout the country, and about 5,600 people in the guard army are a guard, 1,120 people are a guard, and generally each guard is set up in the left, right, middle, front and back 5 thousand households; 120 people are a 100-household office, and 100 households have 2 general flags (50 people under each general flag) and 10 small flags (10 people under each small flag).

In addition, there is also a kind of thousand households that are stationed in a separate place and directly under the jurisdiction of the commander of the capital, which is called the Shouyu Thousand Households; There is also a type of military institution called "go" (which is not very numerous), and it is in charge of 2 to 3 thousand houses.

Each guard is subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and is also subordinate to the Ministry of War, if there is something to be transferred from the levy, if there is nothing to return to the guard, the source of the army is the hereditary military household, and each household sends one person to serve as a soldier in the guard, and the soldiers take turns guarding and tuntian in the guard, and the income from the tuntian is used to supply the needs of the army and generals.

Its goal is to raise soldiers without consuming the country's financial resources, but after Ming Xuanzong, due to social stability and relative peace, the officers of the guard began to occupy the military land and exploit the soldiers, and the living standards and social status of the soldiers became lower and lower, and the deserters gradually increased, so the armament was gradually abolished.

The conscription system began in the orthodox years, and unlike the guards, the conscription was not hereditary, although it was a soldier, it was subordinate to the civilian register.

At the beginning of the service, the recruits did not have a formal establishment like the guards, and often expanded or reduced with the demand, and the recruits were completely combat troops, unlike the guards, who needed to transfer some soldiers to work in the cantonment.

The food supply for the recruited soldiers comes entirely from the direct expenditure of the state treasury, not from the tuntian, and the salary is also higher than that of the army and the people in the garrison.

In the Jiajing period, the cavalry and infantry and chariots began to have a formal establishment - the battalion sentry system, generally five people for a team, two for the team, three for the team, three for the sentry, five for the total, five for the battalion, each battalion of 3,000 soldiers, this is the southern Ming Army's battalion sentry establishment.

There have been slight changes in the north, but they are roughly the same, such as Qi Jiguang's Jizhen Army establishment, twelve people are a team, three teams are flags, three flags are bureaus, four bureaus are divisions, two divisions are departments, and three departments are battalions, and the number is also about 3,000 people.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the division of labor between the guard army and the battalion sentry army also began to be divided, the guard army was mainly responsible for garrisoning, public security, training recruits and tuntian, while the battalion sentry army was mainly responsible for mobile operations.

In the Wanli era, in order to fit this division of labor, if the guard army wants to participate in the war, it must be incorporated into the battalion sentry system, and at the same time, the officers of the guard post are only responsible for the training and daily management of soldiers, not responsible for commanding operations, and the battalion sentry officers are not only responsible for the training of soldiers, but also responsible for command, and the establishment of the guards officers who are incorporated into the battalion sentry army must also abide by the establishment of the battalion sentry army.

It can be said that the main combat units in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were battalion sentinels.

Guangdong is a coastal province, because of the attack of the Japanese invaders, Guangdong garrisoned about 100,000 Ming troops, the main force is the guard army and the battalion sentry army, the Guangdong guard army is not much weaker than the battalion sentry army.

The People's Army defeated the Guards, and then they had to face the encirclement and suppression of the battalion sentry army.

Huizhou Wei and Jieshiwei are both in Huizhou Prefecture, of which Huizhou Wei subordinate Longchuan Thousand Households are located in Longchuan County, Changle Thousand Households are located in Changle County, and Heyuan Thousand Households are located in Heyuan County; Jieshiwei is in the south-east of Haifeng County, Jieshiwei is subordinate to Haifeng County, Pinghai Qianhu is located in the southeast of Guishan County, Jiazimen Qianhu is located in the southeast of Haifeng County, Jieshiwei is located in the east of Jieshiwei, and Jiesheng Qianhu is located in the south-east of Haifeng County.

There is no guard army in Yong'an County, where the People's Army wants to attack, but in Haifeng County, most of the Jieshi guards are stationed here, and the Jieshi guards are basically in a state of full strength in order to prevent the attack of the Japanese invaders.

A full number of Jieshi guards, 5,600 people, equipped with a large number of firearms, even if 10,000 people's army cold weapons troops will not be opponents, the people's army wants to eliminate Jieshi guards must plan well, intelligence collection is the key.

The time is getting closer to the autumn harvest, but the various departments of the People's Army are getting busier and busier, and Fang Nan has no free time at all, as a leader, Fang Nan needs to deal with the situation reported by the various departments, and then distribute it, fortunately, Hu Xiaoya as an assistant to Fang Nan to share some pressure, so that Fang Nan has time to rest.

The firearms units of the People's Army have already been fully staffed, but the number of tiger head guns is still insufficient, and the artillerymen are not equipped with a tiger head gun, in this case, there are only dozens of tiger head guns as a supplement, and in the next few months, Hutou Village can also produce about 200 tiger head guns, which can ensure that the firearms troops will not reduce their combat effectiveness because of firearms damage for a period of time.

In the next few months, the firearms unit will continue to look for bandits in the mountains to encircle and suppress them, and combat training is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also worried that after the KPA leaves the mountains, there will be bandits in the mountains to cause trouble.

In addition, the firearms unit is also training a battalion-level reserve, and the personnel are basically from the outside world, and at present only one tiger head gun and 10 tiger head guns are given for training use, and the main mission of the reserve is to replenish the losses of the combat troops, and if the production of firearms increases, the reserve will also be turned into a regular unit.

If the firearms unit is included, the reserves and the young and strong personnel who have been transferred out to train outside the mountains, as well as the personnel who carry out intelligence gathering tasks, the number of people before and after the front and rear has exceeded 2,000.

It's a pity that the production of tiger head guns and tiger head guns is limited, and it is impossible to arm 2,000 people, if you want to increase the production of tiger head guns, the number of coolies is no longer the most important, the key is the number of blacksmiths, and coolies have no way to do blacksmith things.

When the People's Army takes Yongan County and Haifeng County, it will be able to obtain a large number of blacksmiths and carpenters, and then the output of tiger head guns and tiger head guns can rise rapidly.

In the villages in the mountains, in the villages outside the mountains, the teaching gentlemen are speeding up their teaching, which should have been graduates of three-year education, because the People's Army is about to raise the flag, and this group of students has only two years of study, and the teachers will try their best to give the knowledge that can be learned in three years to the students in two years.

Finishing their studies early, even if all the knowledge that should be taught is taught, it is still much worse than a three-year education graduate, and in addition to class time, students can also learn a lot from teachers on weekdays.

At the end of two years of study, this group of students will also officially become a member of the People's Army, and according to their talents and interests, they will join the various departments of the People's Army, either in management, in charge of the military, or in research, and contribute to the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty by the People's Army.
