In the middle of 1657, as the Christian Brotherhood and the Russian rebels advanced, the Russian Empire erupted in a wave of independence!

The Latvian nation officially became independent from the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden and established the Kingdom of Latvia, in which a group of Russian rebels who cooperated with Jobs were formed by Latvians, and after arriving in their homeland, this group of rebels became the standing army of the Kingdom of Latvia......

Also independent from the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden was the Estonian nation, which established the Kingdom of Estonia.

Most of the territory of the Kingdom of Latvia and the Kingdom of Estonia belonged to the Kingdom of Sweden, and a small part belonged to the Russian Empire, and after the Kingdom of Sweden was defeated by the Taiping Army and captured by Karl X, the two regions of the Kingdom of Sweden on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea fell into anarchy, and the Latvian and Estonian nations took the opportunity to establish autonomous governments.

and privately contacted the Russian aristocracy who were dissatisfied with the Tsar of the Russian Empire, and tried to subjugate the settlements of the Latvian and Estonian nationalities controlled by the Russian Empire, so there was a scene of cooperation with the Christian Brotherhood.

Because the Latvian nation and the Estonian nation know that both the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden are invincible behemoths for them, and if they want to become independent, they must first make these two countries themselves chaotic......

With the independence of Latvia and Estonia, the deadliest independence of the Russian Empire broke out, more than eighty percent of the Russian rebels who collaborated with the Christian Brotherhood returned to their homeland, purged and expelled Russian officials loyal to the city of Moscow, and raised the flag of independence in the Novgorod region!

The Kingdom of Novgorod was proclaimed!

Unlike Latvia and Estonia, two small countries that became independent, the Novgorod Kingdom occupied almost half of the northern part of the Russian Empire, gathering most of the members of the Russian Empire's aristocratic opposition, and its strength was very strong!

It can be said that the independence of the Novgorod Kingdom almost knocked the Russian Empire back to the prototype of the original Grand Duchy of Moscow at once......

The domino effect went far beyond that, as the authority of the Tsar of the Russian Empire was greatly questioned, the unequal treaties of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom infringed on the interests of the majority of the Russian aristocracy, the Duma parliament was completely hollowed out, and the Russian nobles whose fiefs were not in the territory of the Novgorod Kingdom spontaneously established self-government and expelled officials loyal to Moscow.

It was not until the news reached the eastern part of the territory of the Russian Empire that the vast and sparsely populated Siberian region, far away from the emperor, became independent as the Kingdom of Siberia under the ambitions of a group of Russian nobles......

In just a few months, the mighty Russian Empire fell apart, shattering into the kingdoms of Novgorod, Siberia, and autonomous dukedoms and counts......

The Russian aristocracy, who could not stand up to a thousand faces in the city of Moscow, chose the way of independence that blossomed on all sides, and apparently, they achieved initial success!

The upheaval of the Russian Empire was obviously not expected by Hong Tiancheng, which was mainly caused by the weakness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's local intelligence system in the Russian Empire, and it was not until after the incident broke out that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom learned the news later.

The collapse of the Russian Empire did not have much impact on the political situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but the 5th Grenadier Division of the Taiping Army, which assisted Karl X to enter the Kingdom of Sweden, was in a difficult situation, because their back road had been blocked by the Novgorod Kingdom and a bunch of Russian aristocratic territories!

The Novgorod Kingdom, the Kingdom of Siberia and all the autonomous Russian aristocratic territories were well aware of their inadequacy, and soon after independence they established a relatively fair aristocratic democratic parliament, that is, a reorganization of the Duma parliament, while the Duma parliament in Moscow completely lost its binding force on the Russian aristocracy.

The Novgorod Kingdom, the Kingdom of Siberia and the Russian aristocratic Dominions formed a loose military alliance in the context of the reorganized Grand Duma to resist a possible attack from the Moscow direction and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At the same time, these independent aristocrats began to squander their family wealth, aggressively expanding their armies and recruiting veteran mercenaries to prepare for war.

Because, with the exception of the Latvian and Estonian nations, the other independent Russian Dominions, the Novgorod Kingdom, and the Siberian Kingdom were only the will of the upper nobility and the army themselves, and not the wishes of the broad civilian class.

If you really compare, most of the Russian serfs and civilians still hope not to break away from the Russian Empire, because if they become so independent, there will inevitably be a Russian civil war, and when the time comes, it will not be their group of mud legs who will die?

It's a pity that the common people can never talk about the affairs of the state and autonomy, and they can only be forced to go with the flow, driven by the nobles to take up arms for military training.

Hong Tiancheng's unequal treaty with the Russian Empire mainly harmed the interests of the Russian aristocracy, and did not hurt the Russian commoners much, because the Russian civilians were too poor to scrape any oil and water, so Hong Tiancheng's knives were slaughtered on the heads of the Russian nobles, which is why the Russian nobles preferred to risk civil war and become independent.

The Christian Brotherhood and the rebellious Russian aristocracy joined forces to purge the main forces of the local field forces loyal to Moscow, removing the last obstacle to the independent autonomy of the Russian aristocracy, thus triggering a domino effect on the collapse of the Russian Empire.

The upheaval in Russia greatly stimulated the already unstable situation in the Kingdom of Sweden, and the 5th Grenadier Division of the Taiping Army was copied, so that the opposition strength of the Kingdom of Sweden saw the hope of victory in the civil war, and most importantly, the Christian Brotherhood as foreign aid entered the Kingdom of Sweden with 20,000 battle-hardened old troops and the military covenant of the Grand Duma Council!

At the same time, the two small countries of Latvia and Estonia, which had strong national cohesion after independence, also joined a military alliance in order to rally allies against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

With such strong external support, the Swedish Civil War broke out in the summer and autumn of 1657, and after the opposition nobles of the Kingdom of Sweden set off a popular revolt in the local area to get rid of the rule of Karl X, they gathered a large number of private troops and militia armies and took the lead in attacking the Swedish Royal Guards loyal to Karl X!

The whole of Eastern Europe at this moment led the war to a climax!
