The frontline war reports were sent back to Guangdong, inspiring the hearts of the people in the People's Army-ruled areas.

When the People's Army went to war with the Ming army, the people's army was most concerned about the war, followed by the merchants, led by Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan, Liang Xin and other merchants, they made some preparations before the war began.

Merchants knew that as long as the People's Army won the war and expanded the scope of the ruling area, merchants in the newly occupied areas would be harvested in large quantities. Better than ten merchants could have three left, and more serious than ten, not one left.

Surviving merchants will not continue to do business in a short period of time. This is the opportunity for merchants in Guangdong to expand their industry from Guangdong to the new territory of the People's Army.

After the People's Army defeated Li Chengliang's army, the merchants had basically confirmed that the People's Army would win the war, and the merchants began to make more preparations. Some merchants had sent their confidants to the Guangdong border city with their goods, waiting for the People's Army to stabilize the new territory and the merchants went to occupy the market.

Fang Nan saw the actions of the merchants and did not care about them, nor did he need to worry about them. As long as the normal business behavior was carried out under the rules formulated by the People's Army, the People's Army would not care about them.

Looking back on when the People's Army just occupied Guangdong, most of the merchants were scouted by the People's Army, and the entire Guangdong business was severely damaged, which almost affected the lives of the people in the entire People's Army-ruled area. The People's Army had to establish a People's Chamber of Commerce and personally sell various goods to meet the basic needs of the people.

It was not until the merchants started doing business again that the People's Chamber of Commerce gradually withdrew from some unprofitable businesses and handed them over to the merchants for normal commercial trade.

Now that the People's Army has occupied new territory, the situation of the new territory may be even more serious by Guangdong. A large number of merchants have gone north. Some Guangdong merchants have gone to trade in commercial trade, which can save the People's Army a lot of trouble. The People's Army even supports Guangdong merchants to trade in commercial trade in new territory.

By skipping the merchants, Fang Nan turned his attention to the People's Army-ruled areas in the next few years. After this ongoing war, the People's Army-ruled areas will include five places, namely Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian, or five provinces.

Originally, there were thirteen administrative departments in the Ming Dynasty, namely, Zhili, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan (the above are the five northern provinces), Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Sichuan (the above are the five central provinces), Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan (the above are the five southern provinces).

After the war, the People's Army occupied five provinces, and the Ming court had only ten provinces left, and the population ratio would not be too different, almost one to two.

The five provinces have tens of millions of people, and the People's Army can even establish a country.

If there are people in the top leaders of the People's Army who are not in the People's Army system, they should give Fang Nan a advice to ask Fang Nan to establish the country after the war ends. However, at present, the top leaders of the People's Army are all students of Fang Nan or students. They understand that the matter of founding the country will be controlled by the teacher (the chief general) and they do not need to say it out.

The teacher thinks that the country can be established, so everyone will follow the teacher's instructions to do it. The teacher thinks that if you wait, everyone will continue to wait, and no one dares to urge the teacher.

In Fang Nan's view, even if the People's Army has five provinces and tens of millions of people, it has not reached the time to establish the country.

In the war between the People's Army and the Ming court, at the latest, the People's Army will be able to occupy all the five provinces, and the People's Army will turn off offense to defend and develop its internal strength. At most three and a half years, the People's Army will start the final battle and decide the ownership of the rule of China.

The founding of a country is not a trivial matter. At least the four newly occupied provinces need to settle down before they can prepare for the founding of the country. It will take several months to stabilize the four provinces, and it will take several months to half a year to prepare for the founding of the country. It may take one year to establish the country.

If you don’t make much preparations to build a country directly, just as the people in the areas around Guangzhou and Guangzhou know that the People’s Army has established a country, it will take several months or even longer for everyone in the People’s Army to know that the People’s Army has established a country, and you are all people of this country.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it requires a lot of time, a lot of manpower and material resources. It is better to wait until the People's Army destroys the Ming court and then prepare for the establishment of a country.

It takes several years to wait for the founding of the country, but Fang Nan believes that some things should be prepared in advance, such as the capital.

Guangzhou City is the largest city in the People's Army ruling region and has taken steps towards modern times. The People's Army has been operating in Guangzhou City for several years, and Guangzhou City can be included in one of the national capital choices.

If the People's Army ruled the region has only five provinces including Guangdong, Guangdong, Huguang, etc., it is okay to use Guangzhou City as its capital. However, when the People's Army ruled the region is expanded to the entire land of China, Guangzhou City, located at the southernmost end of the land of China, is not so suitable as a capital.

With the same idea, the current capital of the Ming court is not suitable as the capital. The capital is too northerly. In order to protect the capital, the Ming court needed to place a large number of Ming troops on the border to guard against the Tatars.

Jinling City can be included in the choice, but Fang Nan feels that Jinling City is more east. Looking at the map, Fang Nan finally turned his attention to Wuchang City in Huguang.

Wuchang City is a district in Wuhan, a megacity city with a permanent population of over 10 million in later generations. It is located in the eastern part of the Jianghan Plain and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is the economic and geographical center on the land of China.

Wuchang City is located in a relatively central position on the land of China. It is a very good choice as a capital that radiates across the country. It is convenient to transport water, rich in materials around it, and it is not too cold in winter, which is more than several times better than that in the capital.

Just after the People's Army ended this war, Wuchang City was in the People's Army's ruling area. The People's Army could develop and renovate Wuchang City in advance and put it into use as the capital of the People's Army's founding of the People's Army a few years later.

Fang Nan circled "Wuchang City" on the map with a pencil. After thinking for a while, Fang Nan drew four more circles up, down, and left and right of the map.

The cities in three circles are very famous, namely the current capital of the Ming court, the current capital of Beiping, Guangzhou City, the seat of the People's Army Central Government, and Rongcheng in Sichuan. The last circle is a county town called "Shencheng" in the sea in Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili.

Fang Nan’s idea is very simple. In the future, Wuchang City can be used as the Zhongdu, and four accompanying capitals: Beidu Beiping, Nandu Guangzhou, Xidu Rongcheng, and Dongdu Shencheng.

The Ming court set up a team in the north, Zhili, southern Zhili, and a team in the capital city. Once there is a problem in the capital city, the capital can be quickly moved to Jinling City.

If there is a problem in the capital, you can move to the capital. The capital is also an important regional economic, military and political center second only to the capital. It radiates across the country with the capital and has a higher status than other provincial capitals.

For example, Guangzhou City, the People's Army is now focusing on developing Guangzhou City, and when Wuchang City becomes the capital, the national center will be transferred, but the development of Guangzhou City cannot stagnate. Giving Guangzhou City a status as a capital is a very good choice.
