The five places in Xingning County, Heping County, Changning County, Huilai County and Puning County were just captured by the People's Army, and they were hurrying to completely control the five places.

Capturing a land often starts from the capture of the county town, which is the center of a county. Most of the officials, gentry and merchants in the county live in the county town. It is only a matter of time before the county town is captured and control the entire county.

If you want to quickly control the entire county, the People's Army has its own plan.

After capturing the county town, the wealthy families who committed evil in the city will be searched as soon as possible, and even the gangsters who bullied the people will be arrested.

If some ordinary people were bullied before, they might get some compensation, which comes from the property of the person being seized.

In this way, the people living in the city can accept the existence of the People's Army as soon as possible, and the people do not need to support the People's Army immediately.

As soon as the People's Army captured the city, the people in the city supported the People's Army. This is a very unrealistic problem. No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty ruled, it had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter how good the People's Army was, the people would think it was a "thief" at first sight when they saw it.

The People's Army will pass one measure after another to benefit the people to make the people in the city support it.

After dealing with the matter in the city, the People's Army will quickly send people to spread to the entire county with the county as the center.

Most landlords have manors outside the county town. On weekdays, landlords can live in the county town manor or outside the city. In order to prevent rioters and bandits, there will be more guards in the manor, dozens of fewer, and even more than a hundred.

Such a landlord manor is the first target that the People's Army must clear.

When clearing out the landlord manors, the People's Military Government sent a working group to various villages. By distributing farmland to the people, the people quickly accepted the People's Army. Later, there were public trials of evil landlords and dog-legged children, and setting up schools in the village to teach children to read and read, so that the People's Army would be supported by the people.

At this time, the People's Army can recruit new recruits from the people. There is no salary for participating in the People's Army for the time being. However, because you can get farmland to join the People's Army, there are many young and strong people participating in the People's Army. In Yong'an County and Haifeng County, the People's Army recruited more than 10,000 new recruits.

After the People's Army wiped out the landlord manor outside the city, it did not stop. It was not peaceful under the Ming Dynasty. There were often chaos and bandits, which had a great impact on public security in various places.

In April of the first year of Wanli, Yin Zhengmao led 40,000 troops to suppress Lan Yiqing and other troops, and destroyed more than 700 strongholds in total, captured and killed more than 20,000 people. The mountain bandits of Hui and Chao were all exterminated.

In March of the second year of Wanli, the admiral of Yin Zhengmao from Guangdong and Guangxi surrounded and annihilated Nanyang Village, the pirates of Chaozhou Prefecture Zhu Liangbao, Lin Daoqian and others. More than 1,200 people were spared.

In November of the fourth year of Wanli, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ling Yunyi asked to dispatch 200,000 troops to attack and suppress Luo Bangyao, the western part of Zhaoqing Prefecture. The following spring, Ling Yunyi suppressed Luo Bangyao, defeated 564 camps, captured and killed more than 42,800 people.

In September of the ninth year of Wanli, Liu Yaohui, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, wiped out Bao Shixiu's troops, the "thief" of Longchuan, Huizhou Prefecture, and captured and killed more than 4,000 people.

...

The thieves were suppressed in endlessly. The thieves here were wiped out, and new thieves appeared there. In the eyes of the Ming army, the People's Army was also a thief.

The government, the landlords and the thief are the objects that the people hate the most. The people living in the city are better, at least stay away from the thief, but the people living outside the city cannot avoid it. Even if they steal the people's food, it will be like killing their own lives for the people.

Before the People's Army, if the people met better officials, the thieves would be quickly sent to wipe out after they appeared. When they met a few officials, as long as the thieves did not do anything big and did not cause major trouble, the officials would not care about it, and it would only make the people suffer.

Unfortunately, even if the thieves are wiped out, under the oppression of the government and the landlords, the thieves will still appear continuously. The common people who were bullied by the thieves will one day become thieves.

If the People's Army wants to completely control a county, after capturing the county town and destroying the landlord manor outside the city, it will also wipe out all the bandits in the county. The eradication of the bandits will also make the People's Army support the people.

In fact, when the people's army first occupied a county, the People's Army did not immediately clear out the bandits. After discovering that the county was occupied by powerful "thieves", the bandits thought that the opportunity had come, so they immediately went out of the mountain to rob the villages. The bandits actually found the People's Army and wanted to join.

In this case, the People's Army decided to eliminate the bandits after destroying the landlord's manor. When recruiting new recruits in each village, the recruits will be trained on the spot, and young and strong people in the village who do not join the army must follow the training. On weekdays, they form a village protection team to guard against bandits coming.

For a small number of bandits who have never bullied the common people, the People's Army mainly persuades surrender. These bandits are mostly bandits because of the oppression of the government and the landlords. They often only attack the government and the landlords. However, most of these bandits are weak and stay in the mountains to farm.

As long as the bandits surrendered and had never bullied the people, the People's Army handled them very relaxedly, and they returned to their former homes, allocated farmland to everyone, and started a new life.

Those bandits who have bullied the people will carefully examine even if they actively join the People's Army. Anyone who has done evil will be punished. In severe cases, they will be executed. In mild cases, they will be sent to the mine to mine, or they will enter the camp first. Those who have not done evil can choose to join the People's Army or return to their hometown to farm.

When clearing out the bandits, the People's Army also encountered troubles from the Ming army. The bandits' villages are often easy to defend and difficult to attack in the mountains. When they see the enemy attack, they will quickly flee to the deep mountains and it is difficult to clear them out.

Fortunately, the People's Army was originally composed of a large number of mountain people and was very familiar with the mountains and forests. Most of the People's Army were dressed in shabby clothes, which was very different from the official army. When the bandits saw it, they thought they were other bandits, so the People's Army could catch them off guard.

Of course, the main force of the People's Army to clear out bandits is still the firearms troops. There is no need for many. As long as a platoon of firearms troops cooperates with hundreds or hundreds of cold weapon troops, most of the counterfeits can be captured.

If you encounter a large number of bandits, the People's Army will gather most of the troops in a county to clear them.

The newly occupied five counties of Xingning County, Heping County, Changning County, Huilai County, and Puning County, the First Mixed Brigade and the Second Mixed Brigade of the People's Army followed this step to quickly control the five counties and let the people quickly accept the People's Army. Some of the people have already sincerely welcomed the emergence of the People's Army.

After digesting these five counties, the People's Army must also develop its own strength as soon as possible. The People's Army's scouts went deep into the Ming Dynasty and found that many Ming troops were gathering. It is expected that the target of these Ming troops will be the People's Army. It will not take long for the second battle between the People's Army and the Ming army to come.
