In the middle of 1665, apart from the confrontation between Russia and Sweden, the countries of Europe returned to a rare period of peace.

During this period, Hong Tiancheng, whose sphere of influence expanded again, eliminated the Kingdom of Austria from the position of the main Axis powers by reorganizing the Axis group, forming a sequence of Axis powers with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the main Russian Empire.

The rest of the countries are all members of the Axis group.

Hong Tiancheng took advantage of the reorganization of the Axis bloc and sent a large number of basic administrators loyal to him deep into the German Confederation to control the cities with Taiping garrisons, and under the strong influence of the Taiping Army, he established municipal councils to completely empty the original German nobility.

It's just that in the situation that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is in full swing, even if Hong Tiancheng's methods are not authentic, those German nobles who have been set aside dare not do anything at all.

Although they lost their military and political power, they at least kept their family's wealth and the castle they lived in, which was many times stronger than the German nobles who were bulldozed by the Taiping army.

The nobles of the German states also figured out the routine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Tiancheng did not want to exterminate all the nobles, and even in the suppression of the people, he had more or less cooperated with the nobles of Toucheng, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom only wanted military and political power.

The title of German aristocracy is slowly becoming a symbol of honor, and even the tax revenue of the fief is deprived by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in disguised form by issuing annuities.

The German nobles under the fence could only swallow their anger, but fortunately, the number of annuities given by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom according to the size of the title and fief was not too pitiful, and it was not a problem to maintain the continuation of the nobility.

Although the German aristocracy did not have a source of fiefdom tax revenue, it also did not have a large expenditure on the army, and the income of the German aristocracy was still higher, and they could maintain a decent and luxurious life.

This is the reason why when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was emptying their military and political power, not many German nobles rose up to resist, and Hong Tiancheng still understood the truth of radishes and sticks.

Under the rule of the municipal committee, the security regiment became the main security personnel, and the recruitment of the Han Xiejun also began, but the security corps was only allowed to carry cold weapons, and only the Han Xiejun was qualified to use muskets.

The punishment is extremely harsh!

Even the German nobles who received pensions were not allowed to make and use muskets, but were only allowed to have cold weapons to protect them.

Not only the German Confederation, but also the Kingdom of Czechoslovakia controlled by Hong Tiancheng, and the Kingdom of Hungary have also begun to implement a gun ban, and Hong Tiancheng, the Taiping Church hated by whites, can not be forcibly implanted, but the gun ban must be implemented to the end!

For this reason, Hong Tiancheng will do whatever it takes, because the gun ban is a matter of the country, and for Hong Tiancheng's existence of relying on violent machines to rule the people, if there is no gun ban, what will the people do after the anger boils?

Not to mention an alien dictatorship like Hong Tiancheng, any country that relies on violent machines to rule the people will ban guns, after all, the operation and use of muskets is too simple, even a half-old child can kill an elite soldier with a musket!

The citizens of the German Confederation, the Kingdom of Czechoslovakia, and the Kingdom of Hungary went to the gun exchange offices set up by the Taiping Army under the guidance of the Taiping Army, and exchanged a certain amount of money according to the quality and quantity of the muskets.

These exchanged muskets, with a little repair, can be used to equip the Han Army, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hardly needs to produce new muskets.

Moreover, all arquebuses have been transformed into flintlock muskets, and now that the European countries have completely eliminated arquebuses, Hong Tiancheng will naturally not be stingy with this money.

The Han Association Army is going to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it is too weak to do Hong Tiancheng no good.

Hong Tiancheng listed 5 frameworks according to the different areas recruited by the Han Army, the Polish Corps of the Han Allied Army, the Lithuanian Corps of the Han Allied Army, the Czechoslovak Corps of the Han Allied Army, the Hungarian Corps of the Han Allied Army, and the German Corps of the Han Allied Army.

These corps are just a framework, except for the Polish Corps of the Han Association Army, which is abundant in number and has Krysztof as the commander of the Polish Corps of the Han Army, the other Han Association Army Corps are in the structure.

It is already difficult to recruit soldiers from the Lithuanian Corps of the Han Concord Army, although it is hung with the word Lithuania, but in fact it is full of a large number of white minorities living in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even so, the Lithuanian Corps of the Han Concord Army is not large, and it has been stationed in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for a long time to maintain law and order in Lithuania and suppress guerrillas.

Hong Tiancheng's only available is the Polish Corps of the Han Army, which has more than 20,000 people, and has built a number of recruit battalions in Poland to continuously train recruits to supplement the possible consumption.

Hong Tiancheng has been fighting abroad with all the main forces of the Taiping Army, but the logistics of the home and front have not been chaotic, thanks to the merits of these Han Cooperative Army.

It may not be possible for the Han Association Army to go to the battlefield, but in the face of the guerrillas who are even weaker than them, the mud legs and armed mobs are still quite imposing.

The Kingdom of Austria was only a vassal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, not the land of Hong Tiancheng, so the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's gun ban could not be enforced in the Kingdom of Austria.

Vassals have their own independent armies, governments, and laws, which are fundamentally different from other countries where the crown is fastened to Hong Tiancheng's head, which is equivalent to changing direction and annexing.

The vassal state only has the obligation to obey Hong Tiancheng's orders in war, a bit like the relationship between a former feudal lord and a king.

If it weren't for this, Leopold I would not have surrendered to Hong Tiancheng.

With the gradual advancement of the gun ban, a large number of basic administrative officials loyal to Hong Tiancheng poured into the German areas, and large areas of land in the German Confederation began to gradually become Hong Tiancheng's hall, and the tentacles of the municipal council began to spread in the land of the German Confederation.

According to this development trend, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will not be long before the German Confederation will be the next Kingdom of Slovakia and Hungary!

However, the autonomous faction, led by Bavaria, which had not been devastated by the war, could only implicitly resist the tentacles stretched out by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but did not dare to openly resist Hong Tiancheng's actions.
