"Master, good news, good news, the People's Army has captured Guangzhou City."

A maid ran back from outside happily and reported the good news to Xu Xinzhi. When Xu Xinzhi heard the maid's words, he waved his hand slightly, "I understand."

Seeing the master's actions, the smiling little maid took her leave, and she wanted to tell the others in the mansion the good news.

After the maid left, Xu Xinzhi sighed deeply. This news was good news for ordinary people under the rule of the People's Army, but not for rich and gentry merchants like him.

Haifeng County was captured by the People's Army for only a few months, and the People's Army has gained the support of ordinary people. The foundation of the court's rule for hundreds of years has been destroyed. The people have already left the court behind, and all the people in their minds are thinking about the People's Army.

Ordinary people may not know Huizhou Prefecture City or Guangzhou City. They only know that the People's Army will win one battle after another and defeat the official army, so that the court will not come back, and they who own the land will be able to live a good life.

This is true for farmers outside the city, and the maids and servants in the mansions of few wealthy families in the city. Nowadays, maids and servants are not sold to the men. They are free people and allocated to farmland and stay to accept employment from the men. They can still get wages, even more than the income from farming.

Therefore, the maids and servants also hope that the People's Army will continue to rule here. Their lives are much better now than before, and the master will not beat them at will, at most they will just curse them.

Under the rule of the People's Army, ordinary people lived very well, and the remaining gentry and merchants were not doing well. They had never bullied the people before and even did good deeds, but this does not mean that they can accept the current situation. They want to return to their former noble life, and their maids and servants at home beat and scold them casually.

But the official army has been defeated by the People's Army. They cannot escape under the rule of the People's Army, so they can only continue to live like this.

They thought that the court was so powerful, with a million troops, and the People's Army had only more than 10,000 troops, and occupied a few counties. They were so weak that they would soon be wiped out by the government army.

But as the government army was defeated by the People's Army again and again, the territory of the People's Army continued to expand, and now it has captured the core Guangzhou City of Guangdong, which means that the entire Guangdong will soon fall into the hands of the People's Army.

The People's Army that controls the entire Guangdong is incomparable to the People's Army that just raised the flag. The People's Army's strength is growing rapidly, and the seemingly impossible goal of "overthrowing the Ming Dynasty" has the possibility of realization.

Under such circumstances, most of the gentry and businessmen living under the rule of the People's Army have their confidence in destroying the People's Army.

Some people have already chosen to defect to the People's Army. When the news of Guangzhou City being captured by the People's Army has been brought back, more people may choose to defect to the People's Army.

Of course, the People's Army does not accept the support of those people for the time being, and only tells them that they can conduct normal commercial activities under the rule of the People's Army, and when conducting commercial activities, they must abide by the laws of the People's Army, and violators will be severely punished.

In fact, there is a very big gap between the commerce under the People's Army and a few months ago. Commercial activities are mainly carried out by gentry and merchants, but the People's Army searched most of the gentry and merchants, and the only remaining gentry and merchants are waiting for the official army to drive away or eliminate the People's Army before starting commercial activities again.

Nowadays, the trade activities under the rule of the People's Army are basically carried out by the People's Military Government. If any county lacks any daily necessities, the People's Military Government will transport them from other places to sell them to the people.

There are also ordinary people who want to do business, but they don’t have much capital to do business.

If the business under the People's Army wants to develop, it mainly depends on the People's Military Government and these remaining gentry and merchants.

Upon receiving the news that the People's Army had captured Guangzhou City, various chaotic thoughts emerged in Xu Xinzhi's mind.

"The People's Army has won again, when will the official army be able to wipe out the People's Army?"

"Is the Ming Dynasty going to perish?"

"If the Ming Dynasty dies, where should I go?"

...

Xu Xinzhi felt that he was about to sit still. Perhaps the next victory of the People's Army would be forced to accept the rule of the People's Army and integrate into the rule of the People's Army.

The Xu Mansion has more money than ordinary people, but there is also a limit. It is no problem to continue to live such a luxurious life for several years. But in a few years, the People's Army will still rule here. What should Xu Mansion do?

The farmland under the name of Xu Mansion has been greatly reduced, and other business operations must be used to make money to support the family.

The news that Guangzhou City was captured by the People's Army returned to Yong'an County. Haifeng County was the earliest territory of the People's Army, and some hesitant gentry and merchants finally made up their minds.

Through the People's Army's victory again and again, the government army was defeated again and again, and they could not sit still, and perhaps the government army could not fight back.

So many gentry and merchants were searched and the market was blank. This was an opportunity. They could expand their industrial scope and make more money, and their families also grew stronger.

Yes, whether it is the Ming court or the People's Army that rule the world, it has nothing to do with them. What is more important is to develop their own family. There is no dynasty that lasts for thousands of years, only a thousand-year-old family. The dynasty will perish, but aristocratic families will not perish so easily.

Before, they did not understand the People's Army and were worried that the government army would soon wipe out the People's Army. At that time, they continued to make various business, and it was easy to have accidents.

As the People's Army continued to defeat the Ming army, some areas under the rule of the People's Army became stable. Except for the timid and loyal to the Ming court, no one else would miss this opportunity to develop family industries.

However, there are also a small number of people who really want to join the People's Army and become officials or officers.

In their opinion, the People's Army continued to defeat the Ming army, and with the possibility of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, a group of chaotic people could continue to defeat the Ming army. Those who have more military and civil affairs knowledge joining will make the People's Army stronger and the chance of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty will greatly increase.

As long as they overthrow the Ming Dynasty, or divide the world with the Ming Dynasty, they are all heroes, and they may also learn from Sima Yi.

After all, the top leaders of the People's Army are all young people, and they are all from mountain people. In their opinion, it is not easy to deal with a group of young people.

Some people even regret that they could not imagine that the Ming court would be so weak and easily defeated by a rioter. If they knew the weakness of the Ming court, they could rebel. With their abilities, wouldn’t it be easier to defeat the Ming army?

There are often people who are arrogant, which is not a strange thing, but people who are proud to a certain extent can be called stupid, and perhaps one day they will be killed by their pride and arrogance.
