Zhu Yaojiang could no longer have much impact when leaving the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Yaojiang was the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, she was just a woman after all. If she was gone, she would be gone. Even Zhu Yijun unconsciously forgot Zhu Yaojiang, or Zhu Yijun was unwilling to think about this shameful thing again.

Now Zhu Yijun focuses more on defeating the People's Army, and secondly, he is to find ways to stabilize the Zhu family's territory.

The order to "allow the gentry and merchants from all over the country to form a guard team" has been fully launched in the Ming Dynasty ruling area, but the situation has not been carried out as Zhu Yijun and the ministers imagined.

Originally, Zhu Yijun and his ministers wanted to use the food and silver of the gentry and merchants to expand the army of the Ming Dynasty by millions to resist and even defeat the People's Army.

The gentry and merchants did form guards with millions of people, but it is unknown who the orders these guards are now obeying.

There must be a guard team loyal to the Ming court who obeyed the Ming court dispatched, but there were also many guard teams obeying the orders of those Ming court generals who were respectful. There were even gentry and merchants united, with thousands of troops supporting the army, and even weak local governments had to obey the orders.

If it weren't for the great enemy of the People's Army, the Ming Dynasty would have fallen apart.

Zhu Yijun no longer knew whether to be happy or distressed. The People's Army allowed the Ming Dynasty to maintain "stability". Once the People's Army was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty would fall apart. Now all Zhu Yijun could do is to determine who was loyal to the Ming court and the emperor, and had already trained an elite Ming army that was loyal to him.

Zhu Yijun is working hard for the Zhu family's country. Generals who are respectful in the Ming Dynasty ruling region, gentry and merchants with ulterior motives are also working hard. Of course, the People's Army is indispensable. The agents of the Military Intelligence Service are active in the Ming Dynasty ruling region.

Draw a map, investigate the deployment of the Ming army, persuade the Ming army to surrender, and win over the gentry and merchants who formed a guard team. The agents had a very heavy task.

In fact, in the war between the People's Army and the Ming court at the beginning of last year, the People's Army won, on the one hand, because the People's Army itself is very strong, and on the other hand, the contributions made by the agents.

Hundreds of agents intervened in the Ming army and after a long period of hard work to win over tens of thousands of Ming soldiers. After the war broke out, these Ming soldiers directly led to the Ming army's collapse faster in the battle.

Currently, the Ming Dynasty Navy, the Ming army Tang Qi's unit in Yunnan, the Ming army Li Zhengmao's unit in the northern part of the Yangtze River in Huguang, and the Ming army Zheng Yuewen's unit in Zhejiang, are the main targets of the Military Intelligence Department to persuade surrender.

Compared with the past, the MIIS work is easier to carry out.

Before the war broke out last year, the People's Army had only one province with a force of more than 300,000. The Ming court still had fourteen provinces with a total force of more than 1.5 million. The gap between the People's Army and the Ming court was very large. Even though the Ming court knew that the People's Army had very sharp firearms, he was still confident that the Ming court could win the war.

However, it was such a war that was very confident to win. The Ming court was defeated and was easily defeated by the People's Army. That was one million Ming troops and three hundred thousand People's Army. After the war, the People's Army had five provinces, and the Ming court had only ten provinces left.

"The Ming court could not defeat the People's Army before, but can the Ming court still defeat the People's Army now?" Many people in the Ming Dynasty ruled area had such questions.

Under such circumstances, the People's Army agents approached Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, Zheng Yuewen and other Ming generals to persuade them to surrender.

The People's Army's requirements are very simple, which is to let these Ming generals lead their Ming army to surrender to the People's Army and assist the People's Army in taking over some areas when the next war breaks out.

The conditions for surrender given by the People's Army are also very simple, with only the "exemption of crime", that is, these Ming generals and soldiers who have done before will be exempted from crime, and will not confiscate the wealth they own (there will be no longer maliciously plundering wealth), but if they violate the laws and regulations under the rule of the People's Army, they will be punished like others.

The People's Army has issued conditions, and Ming generals such as Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, Zheng Yuewen are unable to make a decision in a short time.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen all led their troops to fight with the People's Army and deeply understood the strength of the People's Army. The three of them were even unwilling to fight with the People's Army again. They would retreat when they saw the People's Army. All three of them believed that the People's Army could destroy the Ming court.

Since they could not defeat the People's Army, the three of them naturally had the idea of ​​surrendering to the People's Army. However, the conditions offered by the People's Army were too simple. They are now the generals who commanded tens of thousands of troops and had the power of life and death, but they would have to be an "ordinary person" in the future. Even if this ordinary person has a lot of wealth and can live a prosperous life, they would be difficult for them to accept it for a while.

They were hesitating, they were waiting, and maybe a turnaround might occur. During the armistice period, the Ming court had the strength to defeat the People's Army.

Faced with the persuasion of the People's Army, Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen were all dragging them, intending to drag them until the outbreak of the next war. If the Ming court really had no hope of arriving at the People's Army, the three of them would probably lead tens of thousands of troops under their command to surrender to the People's Army.

The Military Intelligence Department made certain progress in persuading surrender to the Ming Dynasty Navy. The navy stationed in Guangdong and Fujian have already gone north and are unwilling to surrender to the People's Army. However, many families are under the rule of the People's Army. The People's Army will not use their families as bargaining chips, but can use the words to reunite the "family" to persuade the surrender.

In addition to the many battles between the People's Army and the Ming court, many people in the Ming court's naval army believed that the Ming court had no hope of victory, and as long as the lives of the whole family could be saved, they would be willing to surrender.

Compared with the persuasion of surrender to the Ming Dynasty Navy, Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao and Zheng Yuewen, the MIIS made faster progress in persuading surrender to the gentry and merchants who formed a guard team.

There were many people in the Ming army who were still loyal to the Ming court, but the number of people who were loyal to the Ming court among the rich and gentry merchants was greatly reduced. The rich and gentry merchants paid more attention to the family, and they cared more about the family's prosperity. They gave their own family for the Ming court, and almost no rich and gentry merchants were willing to do so.

With the efforts of the People's Army agents, the gentry and merchants in the Ming Dynasty ruled region learned that the People's Army was powerful and could obtain an opportunity to save the lives and wealth of the whole family, so they naturally would not let it go.

Of course, most gentry and merchants are talking verbally, and they are waiting for the situation to change. Anyway, the People's Army is still far away from here, so the Ming court may turn defeat into victory.

They were loyal to the Ming court on the surface and secretly surrendered to the People's Army. When the Ming court was defeated, the People's Army came. They showed their secret identity. If the Ming court won, they would always be loyal to the Ming court.

It is also a way to save lives. The MIIS did not care much about this situation. With the strong strength of the People's Army, they would make the right choice. The MIIS now persuades surrender to surrender is just to make less casualties and injuries between the enemy and us in the next war.
