The one under Zhang Juzheng's control, which led the militia to invade the Masovia region and burned and looted only more than 2,000 people, was reorganized into the Vilno Guard Regiment, which was responsible for the defense of Vilno City and as the main mobile force in Lithuania.

As the areas controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were ravaged by war, the people were displaced, the acres of land were deserted, and only large towns were left unaffected by the war, and the wild areas were in ruins.

In addition, except for the Russian Empire, the surrounding areas of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not have the strength to take the initiative to launch a large-scale offensive for the time being, and at most they attacked and plundered on a small scale (there was nothing left to plunder in the countryside of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom...... ）。

Therefore, Hong Tiancheng simply used the local garrison as the defender of the border cordon, and the only difference between the local garrison troops in the border towns and the local garrison troops in the inland towns was the difference in the proportion of soldiers in the system.

Of course, the number of local garrisons in the towns and cities in the border areas is much greater than in the inland towns that only need to maintain law and order and combat bandit guerrillas.

This practice of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also a general defense posture in the countries of the European continent and even the whole world, thanks to the backward transportation facilities of this era, the concept of blitzkrieg will not appear at all, except for the border line between the belligerents, no country will spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to station a large number of main regular troops on the border.

Even if there is a sudden invasion of the country, and there is the obstruction of the local garrison, with the speed of the two-legged rush that is common in this era, there is time for the country in a state of defense to mobilize the national forces and the main force to fight before the invaders penetrate into the interior.

Even if it is an invader with full cavalry, he does not dare to go too deep into the enemy country, otherwise when the enemy country reacts, unites local garrisons everywhere to encircle it, and then uses the main elite to encircle and suppress, the invaders can only flee in embarrassment.

What's more, most of the cavalry invasions are based on the intention of plundering, and if you want to conquer the city, you still need infantry to attack and defend the city.

Such a backward defensive strategy of the cordon is mainly due to the backward communication and marching speed of this era, and it is difficult for a modern war to quickly advance to the capital of the empire.

Even in the Second Opium War, the Anglo-French alliance attacked the Tianjin area by convenient sea route, directly hitting the core of the capital of the Manchu Empire, and the Manchu Empire, which was known for its inefficiency, also mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to intercept the Anglo-French alliance army layer by layer, but the water of these hundreds of thousands of troops was so large that it was jaw-dropping......

After Hong Tiancheng completed the military reform plan on paper, he opened the updated personal panel of the Total War system:

"Tsk, the whole of Europe seems to know my name Hong Tiancheng." Hong Tiancheng looked at the long list of opposing country names with a smile, except for being killed by his own people Sarri. Outside of the Cossack United Emirates controlled by Assman, there were basically enemies and potential enemies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

One can imagine how bad Hong Tiancheng's reputation among countries is for seizing power from the aristocracy and enslaving and oppressing white civilians!

After Hong Tiancheng arranged the new unit numbering and basic reorganization, the first order was to complete the handover of the Taiping Army's linear infantry division and the Taiping Army's elite musketeers who had been changed to the Kiev division.

In the process of military reorganization, a new military regulation was issued, and the obedience of the upper and lower ranks in the army was further strengthened, and a new fascist salute was incorporated.

Hong Tiancheng did this mainly because in the reorganization plan, the local garrison troops would be supplemented with a large number of local white militia, although their combat effectiveness was not as good as the regular army, and even the fighting will of the general reserve army of the European continental power was far from comparable, but Hong Tiancheng had to ensure their obedience.

Hong Tiancheng would not be naïve to think that these supplementary white militiamen, who may not be able to see their appearance in their lives, would take an oath of allegiance, and they were really willing to serve the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom unconditionally, and if they wanted to firmly control them, they still needed officers who were grassroots system soldiers, and the concept of unconditional obedience to the orders of superiors was strengthened with clear provisions and military law, which became an important means for Hong Tiancheng to manage these white soldiers who took up arms.

With the changes of the times, military personnel have gradually been widely adopted by all countries in the world, and history has proved that this is a hurdle that must be crossed by centralized power.

What's more, there is no possibility of defection among the grassroots officers served by the soldiers of the system, and the probability of defection of white soldiers can be completely minimized.

Almost all military mutinies in history have been carried out under the leadership of officers, especially the officers at the grass-roots level such as the company and platoon level, although the rank is low, but they are the commanders who have the most direct contact with the soldiers.

In addition, company platoon-level officers are also the medium for conveying combat orders, and many times low-level soldiers do not know why they want to attack someone, and they obey the general stream and obey the company and platoon-level officers.

Therefore, in the reorganization of the local garrison troops, most of the systematic soldiers who were not strong in combat effectiveness obtained by lottery have become basic officers, and the military establishment of the local garrison troops is simpler than that of the Taiping Army, with 10 people set up as a squad leader, 50 people set up as a squadron leader, 100 people set up a brigade leader, and 5 centenarians as a battalion-level combat unit, which is also the basic combat unit of the local garrison force.

Almost all officers above the rank of squad leader are served by system soldiers who have won the lottery.
