The city of Guangzhou was broken, and the magnates who were blocked in the city and could not leave tried to survive, either buying the houses of ordinary people in advance, changing into shabby clothes to live in, or handing over their children and grandchildren to maids and servants to take away, leaving their blood.

There are also powerful mansions with closed doors and delusional and stubborn resistance, but the mansions of Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin and related personnel are open, and they all make appearances to welcome the arrival of the People's Army.

"Master Jun, Master Jun, we are good people, we have defected to the People's Army, then the south gate is opened by us."

When they see the KPA coming, those people will say this, and when the KPA hears these words, they will let them go for the time being.

Let it go for the time being, just say that He Yan doesn't have the time to deal with these people who have defected to the People's Army now, Guangzhou City has just been captured, and there are still many things to deal with, especially the Ming army that came to support Guangzhou City will come over in two days at most.

Of course, it is also possible that you will not be able to come after knowing that the city of Guangzhou has been breached.

The Third Mixed Brigade will not stay in Guangzhou City all the time, and Fang Nan's task to He Yan is not only to take Guangzhou City, but also to the west and occupy the western part of Guangdong after taking Guangzhou City, so that the People's Army will have a province and a population of nearly 10 million, and finally have the appearance of fighting against the Ming Dynasty.

After the capture of the city of Guangzhou, the next important target was the town of Foshan, which was even more important to the People's Army than Guangzhou, because Foshan was almost the most important place for iron smelting in the Ming Dynasty, with many blacksmiths and carpenters, who could not only make all kinds of iron tools, but also all kinds of artillery and firearms.

As long as the People's Army takes Foshan Town and collects all the craftsmen for its own use, it will not take long for it to become the largest arsenal of the People's Army, and the monthly output of tiger head guns will double.

At present, the firearms unit of the People's Army can only be expanded by one company a month, and after taking Foshan, it will not be long before it can expand by one battalion a month, and with enough firearms troops, the People's Army will be able to resist more Ming troops.

After taking Foshan, the People's Army needs to occupy the whole of Guangdong as soon as possible, win the support of the common people in all parts of Guangdong, recruit troops, and expand the scale of the People's Army.

Firearms units are the main force of the People's Army, but the number of firearms units is still insufficient, and they need to be supplemented by cold-weapon units.

Just when He Yan's 3rd Mixed Brigade captured the city of Guangzhou, in the east, Hu Zhuang's 2nd Mixed Brigade had already occupied all the county towns in Chaozhou Prefecture, and was taking the county seat as the center to wipe out the big landlords, bandits and bandits who were doing evil in the territory.

In the north, the 1st Mixed Brigade led by Wang Shengrong had occupied four counties in Jiangxi and all the cities in Nanxiong Mansion in Guangdong; The other part of the 1st Mixed Brigade led by Xiong Jian also occupied all the cities in Shaozhou Prefecture, and prepared to march into the northern area of Guangzhou Prefecture according to the latest order given by Fang Nan.

It can be said that the eastern part of Guangdong is now under the control of the People's Army, and there is still a western region waiting for the People's Army to advance.

However, with the People's Army successively defeating the Huguang Ming Army, the Jiangxi Ming Army, and the Fujian Ming Army, the news of the defeat of the Ming Army from all walks of life has been transmitted back to various places, especially on the Jiangxi side, the People's Army has occupied four counties in the south of Jiangxi.

In the thirteenth year of Wanli of the cavalry of the People's Army, the standing army of the Ming Dynasty has about one million, of which the Ming army in Guangdong has about 100,000, you must know that the Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen political divisions, the north is often harassed by nomadic tribes, and a large number of Ming troops are stationed, Guangdong is only one of the thirteen political divisions, but there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, mainly in the coastal areas of Guangdong.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's Linhai political secretary has stationed a large number of soldiers and horses, but the Ming army stationed in the inland area is not much, like Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, the soldiers and horses will not exceed 50,000, but the coastal Fujian has more troops, should be above 80,000.

Originally, there were not many Ming troops in Jiangxi and Huguang, and they each sent an army of 10,000 people to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, but now they have been defeated by the People's Army, and only a few hundred people have fled back.

None of the 60,000 Ming troops exterminated the People's Army, and if the People's Army marched into Jiangxi or Huguang on a large scale, the Ming troops in the two places would not be able to resist it at all.

At present, there are only two things that the senior officials in Jiangxi, Huguang, and Fujian can do: mobilize the Ming troops of various departments to assemble in the direction of Guangdong to resist the People's Army that may attack; Ask for help from the capital.

As for the idea of taking the initiative to assemble a large army to attack the area occupied by the Guangdong People's Army, it has never arisen at all.

Many officials speculated that the situation in Guangdong would be very bad, but they did not guess that the city of Guangzhou would fall, but at most they guessed that nearly half of Guangdong was occupied by the People's Army, and that it would not even be long before the city of Guangzhou would be attacked by the People's Army.

It will take a certain amount of time to spread what is happening here in Guangdong to the capital, and it will take time for the Ming court to dispatch troops according to the situation, and the more troops are mobilized, the longer the preparation time, and the army cannot be dispatched without food.

At the beginning, nearly a month after the People's Army captured Yong'an County and Haifeng County, the Ming Army in Guangdong carried out the first encirclement and suppression of the People's Army.

After the failure of the first encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Dynasty, two months later, the Ming Dynasty carried out the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army.

Now that the second encirclement and suppression has failed, the third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Dynasty cannot be sure whether the border army will be transferred, but the Ming army will definitely be drawn from all over the country, and the logistics preparation time will be long and the march time will be longer.

When the Ming army carried out the third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, Fang Nan guessed that it would be at least until April next year, and the People's Army would have at least three months to develop itself.

What can be done in more than three months, the People's Army's firearms unit will be expanded by at least four companies, and at most by more than one regiment; The size of the cold weapons unit of the People's Army has increased to more than 300,000 people.

However, in the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming Army, when the Third Mixed Brigade of the People's Army attacked the city of Guangzhou, the problem of cold weapons troops had already appeared, and the cold weapons troops, which mainly trained recruits for a month, could not be the opponents of the Ming army under the same number.

The problem of recruits is difficult to solve, they need time and actual battles to gain experience, but in the process of attacking the city of Guangzhou, He Yan found a very good combination, that is, the combination of the first battalion and the grenadiers, as long as the scale of the first battalion and the grenadiers is expanded, in close combat, the People's Army has a killer weapon against the Ming army.

The matter of the first camp and the grenadiers has been written down by He Yan, and he will quickly send it to Fang Nan, where Fang Nan is located, the central government of the People's Army has now moved to Huizhou Fucheng, and as long as he gets the news from Guangzhou City, he will immediately move to Guangzhou City.
