The Lithuanian militia, which had previously contributed greatly to the maintenance of the Smolensk and Verkhov regions, was likely to become a danger in the future, and these surviving Lithuanian militiamen were veterans of the brutal siege, fundamentally different from farmers who had just taken up arms.

Therefore, in the reorganization of the local garrison, Hong Tiancheng vigorously recruited Smolensk and Lady Verhol as white recruits, and sent a large number of systematic soldiers obtained by lottery to separate the Lithuanian militia and manage them separately.

Due to the backwardness of communications and the deliberate blockade of the Jinyi Guards, the Lithuanian militia who stayed in a different place did not know that their relatives had died tragically, and they had been cooperating with the reorganization of the local garrison.

On the other hand, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, under the information provided by Jinyiwei, made a list of the families of the Lithuanian militiamen who died tragically in the cholera of the Christian Brotherhood, and the Lithuanian militiamen who stayed in other places, whose families died tragically and whose families survived, were consciously separated by their superiors in two different teams, and the Lithuanian militiamen whose families survived moved back to their Lithuanian hometowns one after another, and reunited with their families into the local garrison.

The Lithuanian militiamen, whose families died tragically and were kept in the valley, have been marked on the list with lifetime imprisonment in Smolensk and Verkhov.

They will also be the first cannon fodder to be sent to the front line of the battlefield at the beginning of the battle.

According to the screening and reorganization, among the surviving Lithuanian militiamen, tens of thousands of Lithuanian militia members died tragically!

Although these tens of thousands of people were scattered, they couldn't contain the fire in the paper after all, and they would get news from their hometown sooner or later.

For this reason, after consulting with Zhang Juzheng and others, Hong Tiancheng gathered the tens of thousands of Lithuanian militiamen scattered in various places one by one in the name of resisting the Russian Empire after the training of new recruits for the garrisons in the Smolensk and Verkhov regions was on the right track, and formed a border guard regiment.

Under the supervision of the infantry divisions of the Taiping Army, they will launch attacks on the towns and barracks in the border areas of the Russian Empire from time to time!

From a strategic point of view, this small, inscale attack was meaningless to the Russian Empire, which had already mobilized the whole people, and Russian militia was stationed in all the towns and villages bordering the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and all the young men of school-age were ordered to take up arms and obey the command of the veterans who had been sent out.

Although their fighting power is not strong, they are no longer the lambs that were once slaughtered.

If a large army is overwhelmed, these militia forces are naturally not opponents, and they will be defeated in a sweep, but in the face of the attack and harassment of small forces, these people are hunters who are familiar with the terrain.

As a result, the assault force composed of tens of thousands of abandoned Lithuanian militias, in units of several hundred people, fell into a long war of attrition with the militia and local guard forces of the Russian Empire on the vast borders of the Russian Empire.

There is no point on both sides except for the constant creation of corpses!

Naturally, the Lithuanian militia were reluctant to fight such a battle, but under the threat of the infantry of the Taiping Army and the intimidation of their families in the rear, they had to bite the bullet to complete the so-called combat mission, just to get a certain number of days of rest and even official female slave comfort.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officially advertised this war of attrition as a drain on the vital forces of the Russian Empire, but in reality, they consumed nothing more than the second- and third-rate militia forces of the Russian Empire and the guards who served the people in wartime.

The only use is probably the consumption of the young population of the Russian Empire, of course, in the long run, it is also the consumption of the reserve soldiers of the Russian Empire, theoretically speaking, any young male of appropriate age can be trained as a soldier, as long as the government can afford to pay for the equipment......

The weapons of these local militias and guards of the Russian Empire were basically self-equipped, and the government only had to pay for wartime food subsidies, which were better than nothing, and their fighting purpose was to defend their homeland, and their morale was still good.

On the contrary, the driven Lithuanian militia saw no hope for the future, their morale was low, and they fought only to complete their mission without being shot, eating more meat, and playing with the female slaves provided by the Taiping army for a few more days.

In contrast, even if the combat effectiveness of the guards and militia in the border areas of the Russian Empire is not good, the two sides still fought a attrition equal to about 1 to 1, and those Lithuanian militias are all veterans who have survived the brutal siege battle, and it is still okay to deal with a group of civilians with weapons.

Even if the Taiping army only equipped them with a small number of arquebuses and cold weapons.

When tens of thousands of Lithuanian militia consumed the vital strength of the Russian Empire, the reorganization of the local garrison troops that eliminated the internal hidden dangers was carried out without danger and perfection, and the change of defense of the four infantry field divisions of the Taiping Army line made the city of Moscow, which had accumulated strength, 'cowardly' again.

The Tsar and the Duma parliament felt a heartfelt 'egg pain' at the fact that the main force of the Taiping Army, which had suddenly quadrupled in the border areas.

Past examples have proved that under the premise that the strength of the troops in the field does not have an absolute advantage over the main force of the Taiping Army, it is absolutely impossible to attack rashly, otherwise the thieves will die miserably......

As a result, the restless Moscow quieted down, and shifted from a strategic offensive posture to a strategic defense, and began to drive a large number of soldiers to build various civil offensives to prevent the attack of the Taiping army, and the Duma parliament unanimously reached a consensus to establish a Moscow defense circle......

Hong Tiancheng expressed great satisfaction with the behavior of the Moscow direction, so that he could let go and fully accept the local power!

Hong Tiancheng still understands the truth that the outside must first be at home.

Previously, the Taiping army quickly attacked the city and promised the interests of the nobles, and it was time to take it back.

When the Taiping army attacked, what they really eliminated was actually those forces that rebelled against the big nobles, and the nobles who surrendered to Cheng ended up and were treated well, and many of the nobles who took the initiative to open the door to surrender even retained their fiefs, and the only thing they lost was the local military power.

In fact, it is not difficult for the Taiping army to purge these surrender nobles from a purely military point of view, but the political significance is completely different, once Hong Tiancheng cleanses those local surrender nobles for no reason, when attacking other countries in the future, he can imagine with his ass that he will face the desperate resistance of all the nobles, and the example he set up by Krysztof will become meaningless!

The Taiping army can oppose the aristocratic group, but it must not exterminate the aristocracy, there has not been a national revolution in this era, and the aristocratic class basically represents the power of the entire European continent.
