Faced with the Ming court's third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, the People's Army won its first victory and killed tens of thousands of enemies. This is a happy thing. The People's Army also promoted the victory of the People's Army under its rule, but the top leaders of the People's Army were not too happy because of the first victory.

Compared with ordinary people, as an opponent of the Ming court, the People's Army still knows the Ming court relatively well. Even after the People's Army raised the flag and defeated the Ming army again and again, it is still considered to be more than able to kill and capture 150,000 Ming troops.

How strong is the Ming court? It is a deep foundation for a million Ming troops and a population of 100 million. During the ten years of Zhang Juzheng's administration, the strength of the Ming court has been greatly improved and has also supported the three major battles of Wanli.

It is said that it is the three major battles of Wanli. In fact, the Ming court fought a total of five large-scale wars during the Wannian period, namely:

In the 20th year of Wanli, Li Rusong pacified the rebellion of the Mongols; in the 20th year of Wanli, Li Rusong and Agui fought against the Korean invasion of the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime; in the 27th year of Wanli, Li Hualong pacified the rebellion of the Miao chieftain Yang Yinglong; in the 11th year of Wanli, the Ming-Myanmar War that ended until the 34th year; and the Battle of Sarhu with the Later Jin in the 47th year of Wanli.

The Ming Dynasty won the first three wars, but the latter two wars lost. Whether it was victory or failure, the Ming court was able to support five large-scale wars, which shows how powerful the Ming court was at this time, and it can be regarded as the last peak of the Ming Dynasty.

The People's Army must face such a powerful Ming court.

If the Ming army is lost 150,000, the Ming court can also recruit young and strong men to form an army of hundreds of thousands or millions, with a population of 100 million. There is no problem with the young and strong men to form a million troops.

Even if the People's Army is equipped with "magic weapons" such as tiger-headed guns and grenades, it is very likely that they will be flooded by the Ming army with human-sea tactics.

The People's Army has not occupied all parts of Guangdong, and its population is less than 10 million. Given the current situation under the People's Army, without affecting normal development, the People's Army's military strength is very difficult to reach 300,000.

At present, the People's Army has a force of only about 200,000. Under the rule of the People's Army, more than 160,000 Ming troops are eyeing each other. The People's Army has to place most of its forces on the border area to resist the Ming army.

Although the People's Army won the first victory in the third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army by the Ming court, there were still many Ming troops on the way to Jiangxi. If the situation was against the Ming court, the Ming court would mobilize more Ming troops to encircle and suppress the People's Army, but the People's Army did not have many reinforcements.

It can be said that the situation of the People's Army has always been relatively difficult. Now the People's Army can only produce as many tiger-headed guns, grenades, tiger-headed cannons, and Folang machine cannons as much as possible to equip the People's Army.

Even if the Ming army had a way to reach the tiger head spear, as long as the People's Arms and Firearms had enough troops, these methods would not be of much use.

The shortcomings of the Ming army's chariots were too obvious. In order to increase defense, the chariots were very heavy and the speed of travel was relatively slow. As long as the People's Armed Forces could be flexibly mobilized, they could easily bypass the Ming army's chariots and shoot at the Ming army.

The People's Army has three major arsenals, Hutouzhai Arsenal, Yong'an County Arsenal, and Foshan Arsenal. Among them, the productivity of Foshan Arsenal has jumped to the first place.

With the efforts of the three major arsenals, muskets, artillery and grenades were continuously produced for the People's Army.

The output of artillery and grenades is sufficient for the People's Army, but it is very difficult to quickly increase the output of tiger head guns.

The three major arsenals produced a total of more than 500 tiger-headed guns in February. According to the Ministry of Industry's estimates, at least 700 tiger-headed guns can be produced in March, and six infantry companies can be expanded, increasing the combat effectiveness of the People's Army a lot.

There is also good news. With the efforts of Tang Bei, Wang Dachui and others, two hydraulic machine tools have been researched and created. They are currently undergoing transformation, so that they can be well integrated into the process of building a tiger head gun.

Once the hydraulic machine tool is built meets the requirements, Foshan Arsenal will build a large number of hydraulic machine tools, with a large amount of hydraulic machine tools invested, and the monthly output of tiger head guns will increase rapidly.

Perhaps because the People's Army won again, more people have recently wanted to join the People's Army.

They didn't suddenly have the idea of ​​joining the People's Army. They had the idea of ​​joining the People's Army earlier. The treatment of the People's Army to the soldiers is pretty good. The most important thing is that if they join the army, they will be given ten acres of farmland. If they die in battle or are disabled, they will not take back the ten acres of farmland. If they make meritorious service and get promoted, they will be given more farmland.

But when people think that joining the army and fighting will kill people, those who are more afraid of death have been hesitant.

Now seeing that the People's Army continue to win the war with the Ming army, their confidence in the People's Army has greatly increased, so they gritted their teeth and came to join the People's Army.

The People's Army visited everybody and screened out those who were really unqualified. All the rest became recruits from the People's Army and immediately started training for recruits. After a month of recruit training, they will be officially incorporated into the People's Army combat sequence.

Everything is to resist the Ming army. If the People's Army really finds it difficult to resist the Ming army, Fang Nan will also use some extreme methods, such as forcing the young and strong people to expand the scale of the People's Army under the rule of the People's Army. Even if the new recruits have very poor strength, it will have some effect on the People's Army's resistance to the Ming army.

Using extreme methods does not mean that Fang Nan is a "bad man". The People's Army's goal of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and allowing the people of the world to live a good life will not change.

But the People's Army was about to be wiped out by the Ming army. Without the People's Army, the goal would naturally not be achieved. In order to resist the Ming army and to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and let the people all over the world live a good life, they can only find ways to make the People's Army survive when necessary, so that they can have a future.

Fortunately, in the face of the Ming court's third encirclement and suppression of the People's Army, the People's Army can still persist and even win the first victory. In a short period of time, the People's Army is in the initiative on the battlefield, and the Ming army can only passively defend.

However, soon, as more Ming troops gathered, the Ming army would attack the People's Army again. The People's Army had used the killer weapon of grenades, and the Ming army would try every means to crack the grenade tactics. Moreover, the difficulty of making grenades is not high, and the Ming court could also manufacture grenades to equipment the Ming army.

The report of the Ming army's defeat in the first battle was quickly sent to the capital. Seeing that the Ming army led by Song Yingchang was defeated, an official who was incompatible with Song Yingchang immediately spoke out, hoping to ask Zhu Yijun to replace Song Yingchang, the commander-in-chief.

Zhu Yijun was quite angry about the defeat of the Ming army's first battle, but Zhu Yijun did not have the idea of ​​changing Song Yingchang for the time being. Changing commanders at the last stage is a taboo in military strategists, and Zhu Yijun understands this truth.

If the Ming army led by Song Yingchang had been defeated by the People's Army, Zhu Yijun had to replace Song Yingchang.
