448 Five major European regions

Of course, the Ottoman troops favored by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were only at the officer level, and ordinary soldiers could not be freed.

But in the army of this era, it is not the big soldiers below who have the final say, but the leaders of officers at all levels above!

Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom mainly gave preferential treatment to these Ottoman officers, according to the original position, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gave different positions and money, and newly annexed a Balkan region, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had a huge shortage of patrol police, and the local grassroots cadres had a greater shortage, and some were local arrangements.

If a high-ranking Ottoman general surrenders, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can also give him a false position and put it high, so that he can be a salted fish without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

These conditions are naturally far less wonderful than the original positions of the Ottoman officers and generals, but in the face of defeat and death, knowing that they cannot be defeated, it has become the priority choice of the Ottoman officers to surrender with the troops to seek a way to survive for themselves, and as for the treatment of the soldiers under their command who will be dragged to the collective farms to farm, of course the Ottoman army leaders will not care!

The biggest headache for the Taiping army was not the main force of the frontal strong enemy army, but the small units that were scattered and running around, these small units were much stronger than the bandits, and they could not be suppressed by relying on the localities, so the Taiping army could only continue to divide troops to fight law and order warfare.

This is the reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom offered relatively generous terms for surrender.

Hong Tiancheng intends to gradually improve these preferential treatment policies as the basic principles for the future expansion of the Taiping Army, which will help the Taiping Army fall into an embarrassing public security dilemma in the future expansion.

The mud-legged rebellion is not terrible, what is terrible is the mud-legged rebellion led by the military leaders with rich war experience, so that those military leaders and generals who have lost power have a good home, and it can also put an end to their resentment and constantly lead the idea of rebellion.

This preferential policy has had a very good effect in the Balkans, and after the leaders of the old Ottoman army saw the treatment of others after surrendering, no one would die for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to abandon them, even if their families were still in the hands of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

Of course, there are also a small number of recalcitrant elements who can't let go of their families and continue to lead troops to deal with the Taiping army, but with the surrender of a large number of old Ottoman troops, the Taiping army can draw more main forces to suppress those recalcitrant elements.

Fighting with the Taiping Army, on the one hand, after being defeated by a thousand knives, on the other hand, after surrendering, life is worry-free, this kind of multiple-choice question is still a good choice for most people.

If it weren't for the families of the front-line military leaders in the hands of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, I am afraid that no one would have fought to the death with the Taiping army at all.

Soon, the Taiping army occupied the territory of the Balkan states.

The Taiping Army, which had been destroyed, did not intend to regain their independence, and the originally independent countries were forcibly turned into vassal states by the Taiping Army.

Hung Tiancheng did not wait for the Taiping army to fully control the entire Balkan region, and began to divide the administrative regions of the entire European occupation zone.

In order to facilitate management, Hong Tiancheng has set up a regional administrative unit in the administrative unit at the provincial level, if it is only to unify the European continent, Hong Tiancheng does not need to do this at all, therefore, it can be seen from the establishment of the region that Hong Tiancheng really intends to unify the world!

Of course, the politicians of the anti-Han League and the bigwigs of Ottoman Turkey can also see this!

The Balkans and the Kingdom of Greater Romania were merged to form the Eastern European Region; The Kingdom of Germany, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Switzerland were merged into one to form the Central Region of Europe; The Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal, and the Kingdom of England, which had not yet been occupied, were established as the Western Region of Europe.

The Kingdom of Italy and the Mediterranean islands were established as the Southern European Region, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself was established as the Northern European Region.

In Hong Tiancheng's conception, the eastern European region includes the city of Istanbul and the surrounding areas, with the Caspian Sea to the Aegean Sea as the intercontinental line, so it can be seen that Hong Tiancheng's next battle target is Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

The establishment of the region is only an administrative unit that is convenient for management, and does not affect the management of the following administrative system.

Each region of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will send dozens of system administrators to form the regional Supreme Governor's Council, which is responsible for supervising and managing all administrative and judicial positions in the region, and all the irregular army such as patrol police in the region are directly under the command of the Supreme Governor's Council.

When necessary, the Supreme Governor's Council can also apply for the regular troops of the Taiping Army in the region to fight together, and the Han Liaison Army is an armed force that is managed by the Supreme Governor's Council and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom military.

However, the Han Allied Army was mainly used as a combat force, and there was no Han Concord Army stationed in the rear region, so only the Supreme Governor Council of the region on the verge of the front line could command and dispatch the Han Allied Army.

This is also to facilitate the management of the Supreme Governor's Council and the coordination of the rear guard and logistics line maintenance work of the Han Concord Army.

Under the region, there were various vassal states that retained the name of the country, and Hongtian became the people who pacified the ruled, and did not directly annex their country to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, retaining the symbolic name of the country, and below the vassal state were the provincial administrative units.

From top to bottom, all administrative and judicial management is carried out by committees and councils of all sizes, and there is no chief official in the absolute sense, because the vast majority of local administrators in the areas occupied by the Taiping Army are white, and in order to prevent these whites from dominating the local family and causing accidents, all committees and councils composed of dozens or hundreds of people are responsible for management and coordination.

This may be less administratively efficient, but it is a good way to avoid a large number of careerists in one monopoly.

When there are many managers, intrigue is inevitable, and it is naturally difficult to focus on the great cause of rebellion......

Hong Tiancheng would rather have the efficiency of government management in the occupied areas be reduced than ensure local stability!

The setting of the administrative region has just been issued with detailed provisions from the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the local government departments of the occupied areas, and Hong Tiancheng has received a hint of the all-out war system!

[Congratulations to the host for occupying the entire Balkan region and achieving effective control, and part of the European continent (excluding the British Isles and other islands that do not border the mainland) has been ruled by the host's forces, and the host has gained 200,000 personal reputation!]

Begin to calculate the rewards for capturing territories and the cumulative rewards for each Victory Campaign......]
