The war broke out, not the People's Army's war against the Ming court, but the Japanese war against Goryeo.

At the end of March, everything was ready in Japan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi officially started the war against Goryeo in April on the grounds that Goryeo refused to attack the Ming Dynasty.

On April 12, the first Japanese Army of Japan crossed the sea to Tsushima Island on standby. On April 13, the Ninth Army arrived with the order. On April 14, the Japanese army invaded Goryeo first landed in Busan!

The Goryeo army also had a lot of troops, as many as hundreds of thousands, but the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo army was almost comparable to the guards of the landlord armed forces in the Ming Dynasty ruled region.

After the Warring States Period, which lasted for more than a hundred years since the Yingren Rebellion in 1467, Japan was unified by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It can be described as the "Warring States Period". It can be imagined how much chaos there was in Japan. The war continued, and in the war, elite Japanese troops were honed.

It can be said that the Japanese army, which had just emerged from the Warring States Period, was actually less powerful than the elite Ming army, but it was significantly better than the Goryeo army, which had a weak military.

The Japanese army directly conquered Seoul, the second day of May, just nineteen days after landing on the Koryo Peninsula, and the Japanese army followed him.

Compared with the Koryo army with low combat effectiveness, the local powerful local village men in Goryo have strong combat effectiveness. For example, Guo Zaiyou from Xingzhou, Gyeongsang Province organized the Yi army on April 21, repeatedly defeated Huiqiong, Anguosi, so that he could not enter Jeolla Road smoothly.

Li Zhe, who fled to Pyongyang, faced the large-scale fallen Goryeo, and no longer knew what to do. The Goryeo army could not stop the Japanese army at all. If you want to resist or even defeat the Japanese army, you must find reinforcements. Now there is only one reinforcement in Goryeo, which is the Ming Dynasty, the sect leader.

Goryeo didn’t know much about the situation in the Ming Dynasty, but also knew that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was a bit bad. Will the Ming Dynasty send troops to rescue Goryeo?

Whether the Ming Dynasty came out or not or rescued Goryeo, we have to try it. If this continues, all the territory of Goryeo will be occupied by the Japanese army.

The war between Japan and Goryeo had broken out in full swing. Without external reinforcements, Goryeo could not hold on for even a year. On the other hand, the People's Army's war against the Ming court was only a few months away.

The war is approaching, but production and life in the People's Army-ruled areas are still going on.

April has not ended yet. The steam-powered machine tools manufactured by Foshan Machinery Factory have replaced all hydraulic machine tools in Foshan Arsenal earlier than the planned time, and a large number of steam-powered machine tools have been put into use. The production efficiency of Foshan Arsenal has been rapidly improved.

When using full hydraulic machine tools, the number of muskets produced in a month cannot exceed 2,000. After replacing hydraulic machine tools with steam machine tools, the monthly output of muskets quickly exceeded 2,000. Now the monthly output has exceeded 2,500. As workers skillfully use steam machine tools, the output will continue to increase.

The steam machine tools produced by Foshan Machinery Factory have met the Foshan Arsenal, but the production of Foshan Machinery Factory is still continuing and will produce more steam machine tools. The main buyer is the Fang Chamber of Commerce. The Fang Chamber of Commerce will establish a new machinery factory to produce steam-powered spinning machines. The steam spinning machines developed by the Textile Machinery Research Institute are already practical and can be mass-produced.

The research of the Textile Machinery Research Institute is still continuing. With the existence of steam spinning machines, there is still a lack of steam looms. Only when both are there will be a complete change in the textile industry in the People's Army-ruled region, allowing more people to afford cheap cloths, and a family can wear new clothes every year.

The Xinhui Shipyard, which belongs to the People's Army in Panyu County, Guangzhou City, steam engine and the Jianggongmu of Xinhui Shipyard built a strange ship. This ship is very small, a few circles smaller than the No. 2 Fu Ship used by the People's Navy. Although the ship is small, it has extraordinary significance to the People's Army. It will be the world's first steam engine ship.

The steam engine started construction just after the New Year. It has been four months since the hull was completed, but the remaining quarter is the most important part. The left and right sides of the hull have not yet been pressed to replace the sails and oars. There are no steam engines and other components customized from the machinery factory installed on the ship.

It is expected that at least four months before the steam engine can be launched and tested.

As the world's first steam engine ship, as an experimental ship, it is normal for various problems to occur. The task of the steam engine ship project team is to solve various problems that arise one by one.

Fang Nan once took time to inspect Xinhui Shipyard. Fang Nan could provide very little help to the construction of steam engines, and the same is true for trains. Most of the matter depends on researchers' efforts.

In the current education system of the People's Army, more than 5,000 primary schools are mainly used. Every three years, a large number of intellectuals can be trained for the People's Army, supplemented to military, political, research, business, etc. There is also a place for entering the primary school to go to Guangzhou University, which is a place to train senior researchers. In addition, there are many girls' schools, and students trained by girls' schools are mainly teachers in girls' schools.

In addition to primary schools, girls' schools, and universities, the People's Army also built technical schools. Last January, the first technical school under the People's Army ruled opened. The school system was only half a year. Students learned how to use machine tools. After graduation, students entered the machinery factory and arsenal for internships.

The current students trained by technical schools are basically in Foshan as long as they enter the factory to control machines, so the number of new technical schools built by the People's Army has been built in Foshan. Now the number of technical schools has increased from one to five.

However, this year the school system of technical schools is also increasing, from half a year to one year. The school trained all junior technical workers, who need to learn literacy and arithmetic. In just half a year, students cannot effectively learn common characters and simple arithmetic, and increasing the school system becomes the only choice.

In the future, as the number of primary schools increases, the number of junior intellectuals who graduate from primary schools will increase greatly, and they will choose to let primary school graduates enter technical schools to learn technology.

The technical school is a place to quickly train primary technical workers. In the past, the technical workers in the People's Army factories all changed from craftsmanship, but craftsmanship was limited. It took a lot of time to cultivate a craftsman according to traditional methods. Moreover, the techniques learned by this craftsmanship are relatively complicated. The craftsman who specializes in creating muskets can even make a musket by one person.

However, if you have not graduated from the People's Army, technical workers basically only need to master one process, and train junior technical workers in a targeted manner, which can be trained in large quantities in a short period of time through technical schools.

People, machines, funds, environment, and various conditions combined, and the People's Army's industry began to develop greatly.
