The city of Guangzhou was broken and the powerful people who were blocked in the city and could not leave were all trying to survive, or they bought the houses of ordinary people in advance, changed into worn-out clothes and moved in, or handed their descendants to maids and servants to take them away, leaving their blood.

Some powerful people also had their doors closed and wanted to resist stubbornly. However, the doors of Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin and related personnel were open, and they all looked like welcoming the arrival of the People's Army.

"Jun Ye, Jun Ye, we are good people. We have already defected to the People's Army. Then the south city gate is opened by us."

When the People's Army comes, those people will say this. When the People's Army hears these words, they will temporarily let them go.

Let it go temporarily, but it is just that He Yan has no time to deal with these people who defect to the People's Army. Guangzhou City has just been captured and there are still many things to deal with, especially the Ming army who came to support Guangzhou City will come for at most two days.

Of course, it is also possible that you can't come after knowing that Guangzhou City has been captured.

The Third Mixed Brigade will not stay in Guangzhou City all the time. Fang Nan gave He Yan the task to not only capture Guangzhou City, but also to go west after taking Guangzhou City, so that the People's Army would have a province, ruled nearly 10 million people, and finally it looked like it was against the Ming Dynasty.

The next important goal after conquering Guangzhou City was Foshan Town. Foshan was even more important to the People's Army than Guangzhou, because Foshan was almost the most important iron smelting place in the Ming Dynasty, with many blacksmiths and carpenters. They could not only create various iron tools, but also create various cannons and muskets.

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

Now the People's Armed Forces can only expand one company a month. After taking Foshan, it will not take long to expand one battalion a month. With enough firearms, the People's Army can withstand more Ming troops.

After taking down Foshan, the People's Army needs to occupy the entire Guangdong as soon as possible, gain support from the people of Guangdong, recruit soldiers, and expand the scale of the People's Army.

The firearms unit is the main force of the People's Army, but the number of firearms units is still not large enough and needs the assistance of the cold weapon troops. If the People's Army wants to completely use firearms, it will not be possible to achieve it within a few years.

Just when He Yan's third mixed brigade captured Guangzhou City, in the east, Hu Zhuang's second mixed brigade had occupied all the counties in Chaozhou Prefecture, and was cleaning up the evil landlords and bandits in the territory with the county town as the center.

In the north, one part of the First Mixed Brigade led by Wang Shengrong has occupied four counties in Jiangxi and all cities in Nanxiong Prefecture, Guangdong; another part of the First Mixed Brigade led by Xiong Jian also occupied all cities in Shaozhou Prefecture, and according to the latest orders given by Fangnan, he is preparing to march into the northern part of Guangzhou Prefecture.

It can be said that the eastern region of Guangdong has been controlled by the People's Army, and the western region is still waiting for the People's Army to advance.

However, as the People's Army defeated the Ming army in Huguang, Ming army in Jiangxi, Ming army in Fujian, and Ming army in various Ming army, the news of the defeats of various Ming troops has been returned to various places, especially in Jiangxi. The People's Army has occupied four counties in southern Jiangxi. I am afraid that the officials in Jiangxi are all worried at this moment, fearing that the People's Army will march into Jiangxi in large numbers.

In the 13th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty had about one million permanent troops, of which about one hundred thousand were the Ming army in Guangdong. You should know that there were two thirteen governors in the Ming Dynasty. The north was often attacked by nomadic tribes and a large number of Ming troops were stationed. Guangdong was only one of the thirteen governors, but there were 100,000 troops. The main reason was that there were serious bandits in the coastal areas of Guangdong.

It can be seen that the governors of Linhai all stationed a large number of troops, but not many Ming troops stationed in inland areas. For example, Jiangxi and Huguang, there will be no more than 50,000 troops. However, the number of troops in Linhai is large, and it should be higher than 80,000.

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

The 60,000 Ming troops did not wipe out the People's Army. If the People's Army marched into Jiangxi or Huguang in large numbers, the Ming troops in both places would not be able to resist it.

Now the officials from Jiangxi, Huguang and Fujian can do only two things: mobilize the Ming army of various departments to gather in Guangdong to resist the People's Army that may attack; and ask for help from the capital.

As for the idea of ​​actively assembling a large army to attack the Guangdong People's Army in occupying the area, it has never happened.

Many officials speculated that the situation in Guangdong would be very bad, but they did not guess that Guangzhou City fell. At most, they guessed that nearly half of Guangdong was captured by the People's Army, and it would not even take long for Guangzhou City to be attacked by the People's Army.

It takes a certain amount of time to spread what happened in Guangdong to the capital. It takes time for the Ming court to mobilize troops and generals according to the situation. The more troops it mobilizes, the longer the preparation time will be. 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 Ming Dynasty failed to encircle and suppress the People's Army, two months later, the Ming Dynasty carried out a second encircle and suppression of the People's Army.

Now the second encirclement and suppression has failed. The Ming Dynasty's third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army cannot be determined whether the border troops will be drawn, but Ming troops will definitely be drawn from various places. The logistics preparation time is long and the marching time will be longer.

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

What can I do in more than three months? The People's Arms Firearms Force will be expanded to at least four companies and at most one regiment; the People's Army's cold weapons force will be increased to more than 300,000 people.

However, during the second encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming army, the problem of cold weapons troops attacking Guangzhou City by the Third Mixed Brigade of the People's Army has emerged. Cold weapons troops, mainly trained for one month, are basically impossible to be opponents of the Ming army under the same number.

The problem of recruits is difficult to solve. They need time and actual combat to increase their experience. However, during the attack on Guangzhou City, He Yan found a very good combination, which is the combination of first-camping camp and grenades. As long as the scale of first-camping camp and grenades is expanded, the People's Army has a killer weapon to deal with the Ming army in close combat.

The matter of climbing the camp and grenades first was written down by He Yan, and he rushed to Fangnan. The central government of the People's Army where Fangnan is located has now moved to Huizhou Prefecture City. As long as you get news about Guangzhou City, you will immediately move to Guangzhou City.
