In the New Year of the 14th year of Wanli (1586), the People's Army spent its time in a busy manner, and the time had just come to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and most of Guangdong had been occupied, leaving only Lianzhou Mansion, which was almost wrapped by Guangxi and the sea, and Qiongzhou Mansion, which was far away from the mainland.

Lianzhou Mansion, the People's Army does not plan to capture it for the time being, but the Qiongzhou Mansion, the People's Army needs to find time to occupy it, and the Qiongzhou Mansion has a lot of role for the People's Army.

At present, the People's Army is under the rule of the nine prefectures of Guangzhou, Huizhou, Chaozhou, Shaozhou, Nanxiong, Zhaoqing, Luoding, Gaozhou, and Leizhou, as well as the four counties of Dingnan, Longnan, Anyuan, and Changning in southern Jiangxi, as well as Huaiji County in eastern Guangxi, which is almost surrounded by Guangdong.

The territory under the rule of the KPA is more than 150,000 square kilometers, and the population under its rule is estimated to exceed 9 million.

The People's Army has occupied Yong'an County and Haifeng County, then occupied most of Huizhou Prefecture, and now it is occupying most of Guangdong.

The first step in digesting the territory is naturally to establish the People's Army, the County People's Army, the City People's Army, and finally the People's Army Central Government.

There is a city government here, which was set by Fang Nan, that is, Guangzhou Mansion was changed to Guangzhou City, Huizhou Mansion was renamed Huizhou City, etc., which was changed by Fang Nan according to the habits of his previous life.

Counties have county heads, and cities have mayors, and the title is much simpler, but each county and city administrative district may change in the future.

The title of the Guangdong Buzheng Division under the title of the Ming Dynasty was also changed to Guangdong Province in the People's Army.

In addition to the newly captured Gaozhou and Leizhou capitals, which are still under military control, the people's military governments in various places under the rule of the People's Army have either been established or are in the process of being established.

The People's Army Government, which had been established, began to play its role, and the military administration came into contact step by step, and in the New Year, the People's Army gave many ordinary people a New Year's gift - farmland.

The specific statistics of the proportion of peasant tenants in Guangdong are not clear, but according to the situation in Yong'an County, Fang Nan knows that the proportion of tenants is very large, and there are very few peasant households that own their own farmland, and even fewer peasant households who can rely on their own farmland to feed themselves.

Now that the People's Army has given such a big gift, the tenants are crying tears of joy one by one, and what they dream of is actually completed in the hands of a force suspected of being an "anti-thief".

Regardless of whether the People's Army is a thief, a chaotic people, a bandit or a bandit, if they get farmland, the common people support the People's Army in their hearts, and as the landlords and bandits who bully them are exterminated by the People's Army, the people's morale will rise!

At this time, it was the best time for conscription, and the People's Army did not do anything to deceive the people, and told the truth about conscription.

"The goal of our People's Army is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and make a good life for the poor people in the world."

"The Ming Dynasty was not strong, the People's Army only occupied two counties when it first started, and a few months later, we had defeated the Ming Army many times and had occupied the whole of Guangdong."

"If you join the People's Army, you will be able to get more farmland, and you will be able to get more farmland for meritorious service and promotion, and if you accidentally die in battle, this farmland will not be recovered."

"There are still so many poor people waiting for our people's army to rescue them, and we will work together to make the people of the whole world live a good life."

……

Under all these words, there are also the efforts of the previous KPA to carry out conscription in an orderly manner.

The common people also know that although the People's Army has always won battles, there will be people who will die in battle, and families with only one male will never join the army, and the main ones who join the army are those who have other brothers in the family and have not yet married and had children.

Some people are attracted by the great ambition of the People's Army and join the People's Army to contribute to the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, some people join the People's Army to get more farmland, and some people join the People's Army to make meritorious contributions and glorify their ancestors.

When they gathered together, the ranks of KPA recruits expanded rapidly, and KPA selected outstanding soldiers from various departments to serve as instructors in the past, and trained the recruits as soon as possible.

The People's Army had just occupied most of Guangdong, but it was uncertain when a new war would break out.

In the face of the People's Army, which had already occupied most of Guangdong, the Ming Army of Guangxi in the west, the Ming Army of Huguang and Jiangxi in the north, and the Ming Army of Fujian in the east were all converging on the side of Guangdong.

The converging Ming army did not have the idea of attacking the territory of Guangdong to exterminate the People's Army, but only wanted to block the continued expansion of the People's Army.

In particular, in Jiangxi and Huguang, there were only a few tens of thousands of Ming troops in each place, and the 100,000 Ming troops in Guangdong did not exterminate the People's Army, but were occupied by the People's Army in most areas.

The Ming army everywhere was waiting, waiting for Song Yingchang's order.

No matter what the Ming troops were gathering for the purpose of doing something, the people's army could not ignore it; after simply cleaning up the big landlords, bandits, and bandits in the territory, the Ming troops scattered in various localities quickly assembled in the border areas to guard against the Ming army's attack.

Most of the People's Army was transferred to the border areas, and the troops remaining in the counties were basically only one battalion, with an additional regiment stationed in each city, and the garrison on the Guangzhou side was even more.

The number of troops stationed in various places is relatively small, but fortunately, with a large number of new recruits joining, there will be no chaos in various places because of people with ulterior motives.

The army is the foundation of the People's Army's resistance to the Ming army's overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, and the addition of a large number of new soldiers only improves the quantity, but cannot improve the quality.

With the occupation of Foshan Town by the People's Army, a large number of craftsmen were obtained, and even a large number of artillery guns were captured in Foshan Town.

Among the captured artillery, all those that met the standards for the use of the People's Army were taken away, and all the guns were abandoned.

Before the personnel of Hutou Village did not rush over, Foshan Town mainly built a Franc machine gun with a firing range of at least one thousand meters, and when the personnel of Hutou Village arrived, Foshan Town will establish the third arsenal of the People's Army to build a tiger head gun, a tiger head gun, and a Franc machine gun.

There are all kinds of artillery captured from the Ming army, the People's Army is not short of artillery at present, what is missing is the tiger head gun, in every battle, the musketeers bring great damage to the enemy, often the key to determining the outcome of the battle, but the number of infantry companies of the People's Army firearms unit is still too small, and the tiger head gun needs to be expanded.

In addition, Fang Nan put the grenade in a position second only to the tiger head gun, after reading He Yan's letter, Fang Nan understood that the grenade has a huge role on the battlefield, especially in close combat, and it is a very powerful weapon for the People's Army with insufficient melee strength, which can effectively improve the strength of melee combat.

Next, all departments of the People's Army had to form grenadier units, and each arsenal had to produce a large number of grenades, but fortunately, compared with the Tiger Head Gun, grenades were very difficult to manufacture and could be manufactured quickly and in large quantities.
