Because the Taiping army had no scruples, they quickly gained the upper hand in this mutually attritional law and order war, and the local civilians became resolute after being repeatedly slaughtered by the Taiping army.

If you are not resolute, you will be killed!

This position is not difficult to choose, the Taiping army is strong, the guerrillas are weak, the two sides are not comparable at all, unless they are really willing to go to the deep mountains and old forests to eat bark as savages, they can only choose to surrender to the Taiping army.

If they came out to carry out activities, in order not to be affected by the Taiping Army's method of 'sitting together', some of them secretly reported to the Taiping Army's garrison stronghold, and there was no place for the guerrillas at all.

The reason why it was difficult for guerrillas to achieve great things in the ancient world was because in ancient wars, there were often incidents of slaughtering cities and exterminating ethnic groups, and once there was a civil uprising, the invaders would immediately wave their knives and kill people's heads, and naturally not many people dared to continue to resist.

With the progress of human civilization, the awakening of human rights, and the expansion of national thinking, large-scale and indiscriminate massacres in war have become less and less, and even many soldiers in the invaders' army have resisted the massacre of civilians, so they have provided sufficient soil for the guerrillas to survive, and they have never been able to exterminate them.

Fortunately, Hong Tiancheng's systematic army was absolutely loyal, and in the 17th century, when nationalism was not prevalent, there was nothing to worry about raising a butcher's knife.

It's just that when the senior Swedish infantry division on the Italian peninsula carried out the plan to slaughter Europe, it ran into a big problem.

This trouble was not created by the locals of the Italian peninsula, and even the three countries of Milan, Genoa, and Tuscany, which were originally subdued, took out a large amount of war reparations under the coercion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and all of them were mortgaged in kind!

Only the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, located in the southern part of the Italian Peninsula, resisted the threat of the Taipings, and war broke out again.

Of course, the two Sicilian kingdoms before their strength was not lost were not the opponents of the Taiping army, let alone the two Sicilian kingdoms where most of the main elite were destroyed?

It took only a month for the Taiping army to advance the battle line to the border of Sicily, the last territory of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, relying on a strait and the protection of the British fleet, to stop only one Taiping Tianwang Guards division with only land units.

However, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in Sicily has become a 'sick man' who is struggling to survive, and cannot even cause trouble for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

However, just when the Taiping Army won a complete victory, the anti-Han allies suddenly boldly launched a new battle plan, and the anti-Han allies took advantage of the sea dominance of the Adriatic Sea and the Tyrrhenian Sea (both of which belong to the inland sea of the Mediterranean Sea close to the land of the Italian peninsula) to transport a large number of elite troops with a large number of merchant ships, transport ships and even warships, and brazenly landed on both sides of the Naples line!

Because the main force of the Taiping Army's Heavenly Guards Division stayed opposite Sicily, and there was only one regiment of Swedish senior infantry on the front line of Naples to defend it, it was caught off guard and was successfully landed by the anti-Han Allied forces with superior forces, and surrounded the Taiping army, which occupied most of the territory of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

Immediately afterwards, the tens of thousands of French troops staying in Savoy crossed the border line in a mighty way, and took advantage of the confrontation Taiping Army to transfer the main force to the gap between the two Sicilian kingdoms to launch a full-scale offensive!

To this end, the anti-Han allies also reduced the number of main forces on the German front, went all out to attack the Italian peninsula, and used spies to publicize the cruelty of the Taiping army's plan to massacre Europe in the Italian peninsula!

If the Taiping army has been strong, the white civilians at the bottom will naturally not even dare to fart, however, once the anti-Han allies are allowed to invade the Italian peninsula and occupy the advantage, it will inevitably trigger a chain effect because of the people's will, and the occupation and rule of the Taiping army in the Italian peninsula is likely to dissipate with the defeat of the army!

Once the anti-Han allies achieved their strategic goals, the people of the Italian peninsula, who had been poisoned by the Taiping Army, would inevitably rise up and join the army and join the war against the Taiping Army!

This is exactly what the anti-Han allies need, they are in urgent need of a large amount of cannon fodder to fill the war losses, the domestic military resources have been consumed in more than two years of war, and their own civilians have even shown signs of war-weariness, if it were not for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's methods are too ruthless, the vast majority of white civilians are angry and afraid of it, and the anti-Han alliance countries are simply unable to support such a huge consumption of troops.

The Italian peninsula not only had a large number of white civilians who were potentially hostile to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also relatively well-established industrial areas, even if they were blown up, they could be put back into use with a little recovery, which was still relatively valuable to the anti-Han allies.

Of course, the most important of these is that the Taiping Army has the weakest forces in the Italian peninsula, with only one division of the Heavenly King's Guards and one senior Swedish infantry division.

However, when the anti-Han allied forces took advantage of the landing and tried to build a siege circle and gather and annihilate the Taiping army on the Italian peninsula, Hong Tiancheng, who was in Berlin, was overjoyed as if he had received good news!

"Very good, nearly half of the troops on the front line of the anti-Han Allied State have been transferred, do you really think that staying in the fortifications, the Taiping army will be helpless?

The attacker and the defender can be completely different! ”

"Your Majesty the Heavenly King, now that everything is ready, do you want to start the 'Meat Stuffing Project' immediately?" Zhao Yan asked solemnly.

"Of course! Gather 5 divisions of the Heavenly King's Guards, launch a strong attack on the United Provincial Republic, supply all the way, do not need to occupy the whole territory, break through the Spanish Netherlands, and then swallow all the 200,000 anti-Han Allied troops left in Germany to Lao Tzu!

I want to see how the anti-Han allies can continue to maintain their strategic superiority after losing these 200,000 people! Hong Tiancheng ordered in high spirits.

He only placed a main battle division of the Taiping Army's Heavenly Guards and a Swedish senior infantry regiment on the Italian Peninsula, and also launched an offensive against the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

He was well aware of the importance of the Italian peninsula to the anti-Han allies, and all that was needed was patience.

At the beginning of 1671, the five main combat divisions of the Taiping Army's Tianwang Guards Army, which were originally carrying out the Tuou plan, suddenly appeared on the border line of the United Province Republic, where only tens of thousands of second-line border troops of the United Province and the Republic were stationed, and they could not stop the attack of more than 60,000 elite Taiping troops using Mini rifles!
