One month of queue training, half a month of spear training, two months of firearm training, and three and a half months later, Fang Nan's first army has initially gained combat effectiveness.

With the advantage of firearms, in frontal combat, you can completely defeat enemies that are equipped with cold weapons several times as many as you can, and you can also defeat enemies that are equipped with firearms in the same number.

Such strength is already very good in the Ming Dynasty army, but it is not enough for Fang Nan. After half a month of hunting training and seeing a little blood, Fang Nan is preparing to take people to wipe out the bandits. Only after fighting can the new recruits mature quickly and the strength of the army will be rapidly improved.

For the first battle of the People's Army, Fang Nan must choose a target. His strength should not be too strong, so that the soldiers can truly see blood without any casualties.

Those who do good will be mountain people, and those who do evil will be bandits. This is the division of residents in the mountains by the outside world. For the government, there will be no division of mountain people. As long as you do not have a household registration, you will all be sinners.

Mountain people rely on the mountains to make a living, and most of the time they live in the mountains and will not easily go to the outside world.

The bandits do not work in agriculture and sericulture, and make a living by robbery. For the bandits, the mountains are just a place to live. The bandits also want to live outside, but for the outside world, they are worried that they will be surrounded and suppressed by the government, so they can only live in the deep mountains.

They are both residents in the mountains, and the relationship between the bandits and the mountain people is not good. When many bandits lack food, they dare not attack the manors of wealthy families. Instead, they ask for food from the mountain people.

Qingshanzhai was invaded by bandits many times. In order to repel the bandits, many people died in Qingshanzhai. Some villages were not lucky and had insufficient strength, so they were directly attacked by bandits. Most of them were killed, young women were kidnapped, and all their food was taken away.

Of course, bandits are more willing to steal wealthy families. It is very likely that they will have more benefits than robbing a village where poor people live. However, the bandits are also guarding against bandits and try not to give them the bandits the chance to rob.

Regarding the situation of bandits in the mountains, Fang Nan has already arranged for team members to collect them, and dozens of villages have contacted more than fifteen bandits.

The information of the bandits obtained from each village was gathered to screen for bandits with as complete information as possible. In the end, Fang Nan set the first goal of the People's Army as Erwangzhai.

Erwangzhai is closest to Lijiazhai. The information about Erwangzhai was obtained from Lijiazhai. Erwangzhai has two leaders, the Great King Wang Long and the Second King Wang Hu. They are brothers and nearly a hundred minions under their command. Among the known bandits, they are weaker.

Unlike other bandits, other bandits were trying to rob the landlords and the two leaders of Erwangzhai knew that they were not strong enough, so they could only rob the mountain people and the poor people from the outside.

Lijiazhai is a village with only 50 or 60 families. It is very united but cannot resist the Erwang Village, especially the two leaders of Erwang Village. They are tall and have very strong strength, and ordinary people are not opponents.

Faced with the oppression of Erwangzhai, Lijiazhai always had to send food to receive "protection". The people in Lijiazhai fled into the mountains because they could not continue living outside by the landlords and government officials. Unexpectedly, they were bullied by bandits like Erwangzhai. If there weren't very few places suitable for living in the mountains, the people in Lijiazhai would want to move again.

The goal has been determined, and the first battle of the People's Army is about to come. Fang Nan asked Hu Zhuang to convene all officers for a pre-war meeting.

"Our target is Erwang Village, which is nearly four days away from Hutou Village. Erwang Village is not strong. As combatants, there are only about a hundred adult men, all of whom are cold weapons and no firearms..."

During the meeting, Fang Nan introduced the situation of Erwangzhai and made simple combat arrangements. The specific combat arrangements will not be carried out until the People's Army arrives in the area where Erwangzhai is located.

The officers of the People's Army were excited and excited about the first battle of the People's Army. No one had a sad face or worry on his face, and some were even fantasizing about the scenes of the battle.

Although the training time of the People's Army was only four months, the officers and soldiers all realized their own strength and did not know the strength of the Ming army outside. With their own knowledge, they looked at the hunters in their villages and were able to dance with swords and guns, and they used a tiger-headed gun to shoot them with one shot, and no one could stop them.

It was just a bandit who was not equipped with firearms, about hundreds of people, and only knew how to oppress the common people. The officers were confident of destroying the Erwang Village.

After the officers' meeting, the officers held a meeting with their soldiers and sent the battle arrangements to each soldier. The soldiers felt similar to the upcoming battles.

Three days of preparation time passed, and the People's Army set out. In addition to the 136 People's Army, there were other entourages, including a medical team and two employees from Lijiazhai, totaling more than 20 people.

Departing from Hutou Village in the early morning, on the morning of the third day, Fang Nan and his group came to Lijia Village. Faced with the arrival of the People's Army, the Lijia Village leader and the old people came out to greet him.

When they learned that the People's Army was here to wipe out the Erwangzhai, the people from Lijiazhai warmly welcomed the arrival of the People's Army. Lijiazhai had been suffering from Erwangzhai for a long time. If there were no Erwangzhai, the people in Lijiazhai would have a better life and there should be no problem with having enough food.

"Lijiazhai will definitely send the best hunters to lead the way for the People's Army." The leader of Lijiazhai promised.

The team was resting for a day in Lijiazhai. The people in Lijiazhai were busy and had to boil water and cook for the People's Army.

Fang Nan accepted the kindness of Lijiazhai, but the People's Army brought the food he ate himself and did not take the food from Lijiazhai.

"Our People's Army is disciplined and cannot take the people one by one. We are the people's army, and it is our responsibility to protect the people. The lives of the people are already so hard. If we eat your food, the people in Lijiazhai may have hungry. Our People's Army cannot see the people hungry in front of our eyes."

The words of an ordinary soldier in the People's Army almost made several old men in Lijiazhai cry. It would be great that they could have met such a good Ming army when they lived outside. Unfortunately, they did not meet them. Under the oppression of the government and the landlords, they could only escape into the mountains.

Rebellion is about to behead. Many people dare not rebel because they are afraid of death. There are many such people in Lijiazhai. Now, because of the words of a soldier, Lijiazhai has more support for the People's Army. Some people even think in their minds that it would be great if the People's Army could overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

The new day is coming, and the People's Army, who has been resting for a day, marched towards the Erwang Village under the guidance of the best hunters in Lijiazhai. Behind them are a group of ordinary people who are silently praying to God to bless the People's Army's return.
