"Princess, princess, the People's Army has crossed the Yangtze River."

Xiang Ning hurriedly ran into the room and told Zhu Yaojiang the news she had just heard, hearing Xiang Ning's words, Zhu Yaojiang's body shook, only to feel that there was darkness in front of him, if it wasn't for Xiang Ning reaching out to support Zhu Yaojiang, I am afraid that Zhu Yaojiang would fall to the ground.

Since the People's Army started the war against the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yaojiang felt that her life had become more tormented, and she could not change her identity as the princess of the Ming Dynasty and the woman of the Zhu family after staying in the People's Army's ruling area for more than two years.

Zhu Yaojiang didn't know how long Daming could exist, so watching Daming being destroyed by the People's Army, Zhu Yaojiang's heart was very uncomfortable.

"Xiangning, what should I do?"

Zhu Yaojiang grabbed Xiangning's hand and asked her, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out, sliding down her face, and wetting the ground a little bit.

Facing Zhu Yaojiang's inquiry, Xiangning didn't know how to answer, she was just a little maid, she didn't understand and never thought about the things between the People's Army and the Ming Dynasty, all she had was the princess, and her task was to serve the princess well.

Zhu Yaojiang's mind was already mixed up, she wanted to force herself to stop thinking about these things, but she couldn't let go of these things, and all that was left for her was sadness and pain.

……

The news that the People's Army successfully crossed the Yangtze River soon spread throughout the People's Army's ruling area, which is a great news for those who support the People's Army, and anyone who has a little insight knows that the Yangtze River is the most difficult checkpoint for the People's Army's unification/China's land, and as long as the People's Army successfully crosses the Yangtze River, it is only a matter of time before the People's Army crosses the Yangtze River.

Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, three big businessmen in the ruling areas of the People's Army, sat together again, and the three of them were all filled with emotion when they learned that the People's Army had already crossed the Yangtze River, and the three of them almost watched the People's Army occupy Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and other four provinces, and now they have reached the north of the Yangtze River, and no one in the world can stop the People's Army.

It's a pity, the chamber of commerce of the three people does not plan to expand too much business scale this time, "rich and rival the country" is not a good thing, there is no need to think about it to know that the three people have entered the eyes of the people's army, just wait for the three people to make a mistake, and cut a knife on the three people, if the business scale is expanded without restrictions, maybe the people's army will find a reason to cooperate with the enemy and raid the three people's homes.

Similar to Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, and Liang Xin, other big businessmen at the same level did not dare to expand their business scale without restrictions, but the businessmen at the lower level were full of joy to expand their own business, and perhaps it would not take a few years to have more than ten big businessmen at the same level as Jiang Ci and others.

Ordinary people do not know much knowledge, they do not know the significance of the People's Army crossing the Yangtze River, but they know that the People's Army has won the battle again, as long as the People's Army wins, it is good news, and they hope that the People's Army will continue to win and protect them, the ordinary people who have just lived a good life for a few years.

The war had been going on for more than half a month, and Fang Nan was so busy that he didn't even have time to go over to see the launch of the first steamer.

Fang Nan paid more attention to the steamer, and directly gave the steam engine ship the name "steamer" on the day the steamer was launched, a very vivid name.

In the process of construction, there are many problems of the ship, which were solved by the project team one by one before it was successfully launched, but after the ship sailed more than ten meters, new problems appeared, and the project team continued to study, and everyone looked forward to building a practical ship one day earlier.

Skipping the matter of the steamer, Fang Nan devoted himself to the final battle of the People's Army against the Ming Court, and from time to time there were things that could not be called the shots in front and sent back, and Fang Nan made a decision and then ran out quickly.

The land of China is very large, Guangzhou City is in the southernmost part of the land of China, if the People's Army goes to the capital, there are 4,000 miles from the capital to Guangzhou City, and it is too troublesome to transmit information, Hu Zhuang is ready to take a part of the military personnel to set off to Wuchang City, and the straight-line distance from the capital to Wuchang City is only more than 2,000 miles.

The building of the Central Government of the People's Army in the new urban area of Wuchang City has been built, and there is no problem in moving all the central government of the People's Army there.

Occupying the area south of the Yangtze River is the first step for the People's Army to unify the land of China, crossing the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River is the second step, and then the People's Army will fight from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, and cross the Yellow River to attack the capital, and this war will not be completely ended this year.

When the People's Army occupied the area south of the Yangtze River, there was only one major battle that broke out, the Battle of Jinling City, and the other battles were very small-scale, even in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, where the Yangtze River was more complicated, and no large-scale battles were encountered.

It was not until after crossing the Yangtze River and entering the north of the Yangtze River that the People's Army encountered several major battles in which more than 100,000 people participated in the war, and of course, these major battles could not stop the People's Army's advance.

At present, there is another problem that needs to be solved, that is, the Daming Naval Division sailing in the Yangtze River, and now most of the Daming Naval Division has either surrendered to the People's Army or been defeated by the People's Navy, but there are still a small number of naval divisions that are still loyal to the Daming Dynasty wandering in the Yangtze River.

When the Jiangxi People's Army was preparing to cross the river, there were sailors loyal to the Ming court who came to intercept it, so that the Jiangxi People's Army's river-crossing troops temporarily gave up crossing the river and crossed the river without the cover of naval ships, and the People's Army would suffer heavy losses.

More People's Army still crossed the Yangtze River from the downstream, and the People's Navy sailed upstream along the Yangtze River, looking for its own opponents to fight, and a small number of Daming Naval Divisions who had surrendered to join the People's Navy battle sequence.

Entering the north of the Yangtze River, the battles gradually increased, big battles were not uncommon, and there were more skirmishes, which was quite normal, the closer to the People's Army's ruling area, the more people knew the strength of the People's Army, and the closer to the capital, the more people loyal to the Ming Court.

Earlier, in order to connect and win over the forces of all parties, the Military Intelligence Department sacrificed a lot of agents, and the most sacrificed places were these forces loyal to the Ming Court, and the People's Army would give additional compensation to the agents who died in the line of duty, and those who still had surplus land in the local area would be given a little more land, and those who did not have excess land would be given monetary compensation.

In the face of the forces loyal to the Ming court, the People's Army exerted all its combat strength, and in the howitzer shelling alone, it was about to blow up the enemy to a rout, and when the first soldiers and grenadiers rushed together, no enemy could resist at all.

However, the Military Intelligence Department also investigated that the Ming court had trained an elite army, and it was expected that the fiercest battle would break out in the Beizhili region.
