As the newly enthroned Polish king gradually stabilized, Hong Tiancheng's marriage with the eldest daughter of the Polish king came to an end, and Hong Tiancheng returned to Kiev, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

However, Hong Tiancheng left the Taiping Army but did not leave all, three Taiping elite grenadier divisions, Hong Tiancheng only took one, leaving two Taiping elite grenadier divisions in the Kingdom of Poland, and all of them were stationed in the Polish capital and well-known large cities.

At the same time, the Taiping army had no intention of repairing the city defenses destroyed by the war in the Kingdom of Poland, and also aggressively oppressed the Polish local government, so that the Poles had no money to repair the city fortifications.

The Taiping Army officially declared that the Kingdom of Poland was the eternal friend of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and all enemies of the Kingdom of Poland would be defeated by the Taiping Army, so there was no need to waste money on building city defense buildings.

Under the intervention of the Taiping Army, in addition to the funds of the Kingdom of Poland to pay off the war reparations to support the garrison Taiping Army, they were mainly invested in the recovery and reconstruction of the Polish regular army, because Hong Tiancheng needed the Kingdom of Poland to act as his little brother in the future, and he has always supported the practice of the Kingdom of Poland.

No matter how many bad things the Taiping did in the Kingdom of Poland, there was at least one thing that contributed to the centralization of the Kingdom of Poland.

That was to reduce the military power of the local aristocracy and establish a standing state army under the unified control of the royal family of the Kingdom of Poland.

Because the Polish-Lithuanian Diet of Sulm collapsed, and most of the Polish nobility were wiped out by the Taipings, the Polish king's forced right to collect troops was not greatly hindered.

Of course, Hong Tiancheng is not worried that King Stanisław will have two hearts after recovering military power, the court of the capital of Krakow has always been under the guns of several elite grenadier regiments of the Taiping Army, if King Stanisław dares to make a strange move, with the combat effectiveness of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, he can fully occupy the entire capital of Krakow in minutes.

After all, in the capital of Krakow, the Taiping garrison was much larger than the royal guards directly under Poland, and the same was the case in other large cities of the Kingdom of Poland where the Taiping troops were stationed, which was also a sharp sword hanging over the head of King Stanisław.

King Stanisław knew very well the current situation, and if he dared to tear his face with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the future of the Kingdom of Poland might change a lot, but King Stanisław's family would definitely be destroyed.

King Stanisław's reputation has long been ruined in the in-depth 'cooperation' with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether it is in the Polish people or in the upper aristocratic groups of continental European countries, King Stanisław has been labeled as a Polish traitor, and even many extreme Polish partisan youths have a stronger hatred for King Stanisław's family than the Taiping Army!

Sometimes traitors are more hated than foreign invaders.

Soon after Hong Tiancheng returned to Kiev, he received a very bad news from the Kingdom of Poland.

"Your Majesty, the regular army of Poland is in a stalemate war of attrition in the Masovia region, and the Poles have lost thousands of soldiers!"

Xue Taishen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard in charge of intelligence, reported.

Hong Tiancheng asked with a puzzled expression: "Is there still the main force left by the Christian Brotherhood lurking in the Masovia region?" ”

"Your Majesty, Jobs has long taken away all the cathar guards, and all that remains in the Masovia region is a group of old and weak women and children and a few marginal backbones who propagate the teachings of the Christian Brotherhood, but the inhabitants of the Masovia region are very stubborn in their resistance to the Polish army, and they are even willing to fight with the Polish soldiers with their lives for the gains and losses of a city and a place, and even women and children have taken up arms to fight the Poles, plus the morale of the Polish army has been somewhat low after the Polish army defected to us in the Kingdom of Poland, Most of the Polish soldiers did not want to fight the Masovian militia, so the battle remained deadlocked.

The militia in Masovia took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to constantly attack and harass the Polish army, causing great distress and casualties to the Polish soldiers, and if it were not for the fact that King Stanisław had not sent his family cronies to personally supervise the battle at the front, the Polish army would have retreated war-weary and would have retreated. ”

"Isn't it possible that the civilians of Masovia are not afraid of death? Where did they come from so much hatred to resist the rule of the Kingdom of Poland? ”

Hong Tiancheng's expression was a little puzzled.

Xue Taishen was silent for a moment, and replied in a slightly strange tone: "Your Majesty, the inhabitants of the Masovia region are so determined to resist is mainly because of your title of Prince of Poland and a series of protectorate treaties signed between the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Once, our Taiping army invaded the Masovia region and carried out indiscriminate ' Sanguang's policy, more than eighty percent of the residents of the Masovia region, some relatives and friends died in the hands of the Taiping army or were captured as slaves by the Taiping army, coupled with Jobs's long-term brainwashing propaganda, the Han people in the hearts of the residents of Masovia have been no different from the devil, they think that we Han people will kill all the Masovians, and the Polish army will eventually hand over the Masovia region to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to rule, so the determination to resist is so tenacious.

Of course, the fact that the militia in Masovia was able to break out with such a strong fighting force was related to the large influx of stragglers from the former Polish-Lithuanian regular army in Poland who refused to accept the surrender into the Masovian region, and according to unreliable rumors, Jan Sobiesky, who claimed to be the successor of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom after the failure of the uprising in the Kingdom of Poland, was in the Masovia region and took his followers to train the Masovian militia and teach them how to fight.

The death-defying style of the Polish army gave the militia in Masovia a lot of free time to train, which is why the Kingdom of Poland fell into the Masovian theater of operations and was unable to fully occupy it. ”

"Well, it turned out to be our 'pot', but at most, there is only a group of militia armed in Masovia who don't even have many muskets, and if you can't even deal with this level of enemy, Stanisław, the king of Poland, will be too defeated.

Send someone to tell King Stanisław that the main force of the Christian Brotherhood in Masovia has been evacuated, and I hope that he will not be defeated by a group of peasants who have just taken up arms, which will make him, the king of Poland, appear incompetent, and that the incompetent have no value in this world! ”

Hong Tiancheng said in a cold voice.
