The death of a large number of Polish nobles and the death of the Polish king made the will of the Sem Council in the capital of Krakow extremely weak, and the Taiping Army and the Polish traitor Staniław constantly sent people to propagate to people of all classes in Krakow that resistance would be death and that surrender would save wealth, which further reduced the Polish army's determination to resist.

Most importantly, Hong Tiancheng promised that as long as the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania surrendered, he would not completely erase the Polish state, and was willing to continue to retain the original system of the Kingdom of Poland.

This was a great temptation for both the Polish nobility and the Polish commoners!

As long as the Kingdom of Poland is retained, the property of the upper strata of Polish society can be guaranteed to a certain extent, and they will continue to sit on the heads of the people and enjoy life, while the lower strata will not be forced to change their faith in Christianity, to be forced to learn Chinese and receive a Han slave education.

No matter how ignorant the common people are, they also have a heartfelt love for their language.

In fact, the complete annexation and occupation of Poland mainland was not a very good choice for Hong Tiancheng, and the reason why the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was able to settle down was after repeated wars and large-scale Christian Brotherhood uprisings broke out, absorbing a large number of 'patriotic and angry youths'.

Even if the population of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not large, there are still many scattered guerrilla bandits fighting against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and if Hong Tiancheng brazenly swallows Poland itself, which has little population loss, it can be imagined with his ass that the Taiping Army will inevitably fall here for a long 'law and order war'.

Of course, Hong Tiancheng can also slaughter one town at a time, but what good does that do for Hong Tiancheng?

The whites are all killed, who is going to farm the land to produce food? Who goes to the artisan workshop to produce cloth clothes? Who went to the military workshop as a worker to make ammunition for the Taiping Army?

Directly occupying and managing the Taiping army will face a long war of attrition for law and order, and slaughtering a piece of land for nothing will not do Hong Tiancheng any good, and will provoke a greater popular uprising, rather than this, it is better to establish a puppet protectorate controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

First, it can establish a new way of survival for the soft bones of foreign capitulators, and second, it can also save a large number of garrisons and funds, as long as the Polish puppet government oppresses the Polish people to support the Taiping army.

In this way, Hong Tiancheng, a management talent, was able to save a lot of money and put all his experience on army expansion rather than managing local areas.

Perhaps, this can be regarded as a shortcoming of the all-out war system, without the support of the native Han people, relying only on the strength of military force, even immigrants can not compete for living space.

However, Hong Tiancheng doesn't care about this, as long as he becomes the ruler of the European continent, how to rectify the white people is not a matter of a few orders?

Therefore, Hong Tiancheng's first step is to knock down all the European powers, and then think about the next step of governance.

Under the military coercion of the Taiping army's absolute superiority, the capital of Krakow quickly opened its doors to surrender and accepted the peace agreement offered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

General Stanisław Kniecpolski became the Speaker of the Sem Parliament, a position that was not originally available, and is hereby added, in order to ascend the throne as King of Poland, General Stanisław Kniecpolski still has a way to go, but it is not possible to sign a treaty to ascend there.

The first thing the Taiping Army did was to quell the war in Poland itself and stop the useless resistance of the local Polish militia to the Taiping Army.

Although the Polish army had been completely defeated on the frontal battlefield, the fighting in those remote places had not stopped, and the main force of the Taiping army was used to attack the city, and there was no time to care about the militia forces that spontaneously resisted.

In fact, in a sense, this kind of scattered local militia armed forces is the most headache for the Taiping army, because they can never find out how many Taiping troops they have, where they will break out, and the Taiping army has no way of knowing.

Tens of thousands of Taiping troops seem to be quite a lot, but if they are scattered to the cities and towns in Poland, there will be few people, which is also the reason why Hong Tiancheng is willing to support a Polish puppet regime, not to mention, this Koniecpolski himself has deep-rooted connections in Poland itself, and it has a large area of its own fiefdom in the north of Poland, and the Taiping army does not need to spend much effort, it is enough to help the Koniecpolski family stabilize the battle in Poland.

Since Poland did not lose its country, those Polish militiamen naturally did not have much reason to continue to fight with the Taiping Army.

With the surrender of the capital of Krakow and the accession of Staniław, the great traitor of Poland, the local resistance of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom gradually subsided, and those Polish militias did not lay down their arms and surrender, but no longer attacked the Taiping Army, and took the initiative to give way to the logistics line of the Taiping Army, and the two sides presented a harmonious confrontation.

Because the war ended quickly enough, the losses of the Taiping army in this campaign against the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania were negligible, and they were many times stronger than the previous campaign of destroying a division at every turn.

In the 17th century, an elite army of tens of thousands of people could almost go sideways in Europe, at this time the standing army system was just emerging, and various countries still relied on mercenaries to fight wars, and all the regular armies of a large Eastern European country together may only be only a few tens of thousands, and the regular army of a small country with a few thousand people is considered good.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the backward feudal system did not collapse.

The country's finances are not rich due to the interception of local noble lords, and naturally they can't afford to raise many troops, and there are local lords' private soldiers to maintain it, and the country does not need to maintain too many regular armies directly under it, which leads to the paper regular army data of European continental powers, which are pitiful.

The scarcity of the number of regular armies directly under the direct command directly reduced the war mobilization of the great powers, which is the reason why the Taiping army can always destroy the enemy army in waves, not that the enemy does not know the truth of the waves, but that the country in this era is simply unable to gather too many soldiers at the first time.

Although the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania collapsed, in fact, the country's human resources are far from being exhausted, the inefficient Polish government only mobilized the burghers in the towns, and a large number of scattered young people in the countryside were not mobilized at all, even if the mobilized standing army was too short, resulting in insufficient training and low combat effectiveness, this is the fundamental reason why the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania became weaker and weaker in the war between the Kingdom of Poland and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

If Hong Tiancheng had given the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania five more years to prepare for war, the situation would not have been so easy.
