In the face of the Ming court's third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, the People's Army won its first victory, killing tens of thousands of enemies, which is something to be happy about, and the People's Army also hyped up the victory of the People's Army under its rule, but the top brass of the People's Army was not too happy because of the first victory.

Compared with ordinary people, as the opponent of the Ming Court, the People's Army still knows the Ming Court well, even if the People's Army has defeated the Ming Army again and again since the People's Army raised the flag, and now it can kill and capture 150,000 Ming soldiers.

And how high is the strength of the Ming Court, that is a million Ming army, and a deep foundation of 100 million people, in the ten years of Zhang Juzheng's rule, the strength of the Ming Court has been greatly improved, and it has also supported the three major expeditions of Wanli.

It is said that it is the three major expeditions of Wanli, but in fact, the Ming court has fought a total of five large-scale wars during the ten thousand years, namely:

In the twentieth year of Wanli, Li Rusong pacified the battle of Ningxia where the Mongols rebelled; In the twentieth year of Wanli, Li Rusong and Ma Gui fought against the invasion of the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime in Korea; In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Li Hualong pacified the Battle of Banzhou, where Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Miao Territory, rebelled; the Ming-Burma War, which began in the 11th year of Wanli and ended in the 34th year; and the battle of Salhu in the 47th year of Wanli and Houjin.

The first three wars of the Ming Dynasty were victorious, but the last two wars were lost, whether it was victory or defeat, the Ming court was able to support five large-scale wars, which shows how strong the Ming court was at this time, which can be called the last peak of the Ming Dynasty.

The People's Army is to face such a powerful Ming court.

With the loss of 150,000 Ming troops, the Ming court could still recruit young people to form hundreds of thousands of millions of troops, and the base of 100 million people, there was no problem in transferring young people to form a million army.

Even if the People's Army is equipped with "artifacts" such as tiger head guns and grenades, it is very likely that they will be overwhelmed by the Ming army's tactics of crowds.

The People's Army has not yet occupied all parts of Guangdong, and the population under its rule is less than 10 million, and with the current situation under the rule of the People's Army, it is very difficult for the People's Army to exceed 300,000 troops on the premise of not affecting normal development.

At present, the strength of the People's Army is only about 200,000, and under the rule of the People's Army, there are more than 160,000 Ming troops on three sides, and the People's Army has to put most of its troops in the border areas to resist the Ming Army.

Although the People's Army won the first victory in the third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Court, there were still many Ming troops on the way to Jiangxi, and if the situation was unfavorable to the Ming Court, the Ming Court would mobilize more Ming troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army, but the People's Army did not have many reinforcements.

It can be said that the situation of the People's Army has always been relatively difficult, and the only thing the People's Army can do now is to produce as many tiger guns, grenades, tiger cannons, and Franc machine guns as possible and equip the People's Army.

Even if the Ming army had a method to reach the tiger head gun, as long as the People's Army firearms unit had enough troops, these methods would not be of much use.

The shortcomings of the Ming army's chariots are too obvious, in order to increase the defense, the chariots are very heavy, and the marching speed is relatively slow, as long as the people's army's firearms units can be flexibly mobilized, they can easily bypass the chariots of the Ming army and shoot the Ming army.

The People's Army has three major arsenals: Hutouzhai Arsenal, Yongan County Arsenal, and Foshan Arsenal, among which the productivity of Foshan Arsenal has jumped to the first place.

Thanks to the efforts of the three major arsenals, a steady stream of muskets, artillery, and grenades were produced for the People's Army.

The production of artillery and grenades is quite sufficient for the KPA, but it is very difficult to quickly increase the production of tiger guns.

The three major arsenals produced a total of more than 500 tiger head guns in February, and according to the Ministry of Industry's estimates, they will be able to produce at least 700 tiger head guns in March, and six infantry companies can be expanded, thus increasing the combat effectiveness of the People's Army by a considerable amount.

There is also good news, with the efforts of Tang Bei, Wang Dazhui and others, two kinds of hydraulic machine tools have been researched and built, and are currently being transformed, so that they can be well integrated into the process of building tiger head guns.

Once the hydraulic machine tools built meet the requirements, Foshan Arsenal will build a large number of hydraulic machine tools, with a large number of hydraulic machine tools input, the monthly output of the tiger head gun will increase rapidly.

Perhaps because of the KPA's victory, there has been a recent increase in the number of people who want to join the KPA.

The most important thing is that they will be given 10 acres of farmland when they join the army, and if they are killed in battle or disabled and discharged from the army, they will not be given back the 10 acres of farmland, and more farmland will be given for meritorious service and promotion.

But thinking that joining the army and fighting will kill people, people who are more afraid of death have been hesitating.

Now that they saw that the People's Army had continued to win victories in the war against the Ming Army, their confidence in the People's Army had greatly increased, and they gritted their teeth and came over to join the People's Army.

The KPA did not refuse to accept the arrivals, and those who were really unqualified in physique were screened out, and all the remaining recruits became KPA recruits, and the training of recruits began immediately, and after the one-month recruit training was completed, they would be formally incorporated into the KPA combat sequence.

Everything is to resist the Ming army, if it is really difficult for the People's Army to resist the Ming Army, then Fang Nan will also use some extreme methods, such as forcibly conscripting young and strong people under the rule of the People's Army to expand the scale of the People's Army, even if the strength of the recruits is very poor, it can also have some effect on the People's Army to resist the Ming Army.

The use of extreme methods does not mean that Fang Nan is a "bad guy", and the goal of the People's Army to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and make a good life for the common people in the world will not change.

In order to resist the Ming army, in order to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and let the people of the whole world live a good life, they can only try to let the people's army survive at the necessary moment in order to have a future.

Fortunately, in the face of the Ming court's third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, the People's Army was still able to hold on, and even won its first victory.

But soon, as more Ming troops converge, the Ming army will once again attack the People's Army, the killer weapon of the grenade has been used by the People's Army, and the Ming army will also try to crack the grenade tactics, and the grenade manufacturing is not difficult, and the Ming court can also make grenades for the Ming army to equip.

The report of the defeat of the Ming army in the first battle was soon sent to the capital, and when the Ming army led by Song Yingchang suffered a defeat, there were immediately officials who did not deal with Song Yingchang and wanted Zhu Yijun to replace Song Yingchang as the commander.

Zhu Yijun was more angry about the defeat of the Ming army in the first battle, but Zhu Yijun did not have the idea of replacing Song Yingchang for the time being.

If the Ming army led by Song Yingchang had been defeated by the People's Army, then Zhu Yijun would have to replace Song Yingchang.
