Hong Tiancheng frowned slightly, and said to Xue Taishen in a deep voice: "You know, the strength of our Taiping Army in the Lithuanian region is impossible to be defeated, you say, what qualifications does an outdated Lithuanian Grand Duke Janush Rajvir have to cause trouble to the Taiping Army, is it possible, can he still shake our elite with a group of cannon fodder he called?"

Xue Taishen, you should have understood the real strength of our Taiping Army's elite musket regiment, you are also a soldier, you should understand the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, so many Lithuanian nobles are willing to surrender to me in private, because they know this very well. ”

"No, Your Majesty the Heavenly King, what I'm talking about is not that Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir has the strength to confront our army, according to the information provided to us privately by the great nobles of Lithuania, it can be analyzed that the remaining elite forces in the hands of Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir are not easy to hold the city of Vilno under our military peak, and there is no extra strength to confront our army.

However, Archduke Janusz Rajvir was well aware of this, and the recruiters of Archduke Janusz Rajvir did not gather the militia forces that responded from all over the country to Vilno, but formed temporary regiments on the spot, and they could not even match the most basic soldiers' weapons, except for the soldiers who were approved by the officers under the command of Archduke Janush Rajvir, many of the militia forces that were pulled up could only use their own weapons, which were basically agricultural tools such as felling axes and straw forks.

This rabble is nothing but numbers, but Grand Duke Janush Rajvir has spent a lot of manpower and money to form and even conduct basic military training on them!

These Lithuanian local militia forces cannot confront the main force of our army, but they all have a strong spirit of resistance, and they will definitely attack everywhere and make trouble when our army attacks the Lithuanian region and even the city of Vilno. ”

"Huh? What about the Lithuanian nobles who took refuge? Didn't they all have private soldiers and loyal knights? If you want to be a subordinate of my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I naturally have to show sincerity. ”

Hong Tiancheng said with righteousness and awe.

"Your Majesty, it's not that those Lithuanian nobles don't want to show our sincerity, it's that they don't have the strength to suppress it, Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir has an intelligence network in the Lithuanian region that far exceeds ours, and he even arranges informants in all the powerful Lithuanian nobles' territories.

When Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir completely turned his face, these deep-rooted informants immediately used their own network of contacts to spread the 'treason' of those Lithuanian nobles who had defected to us throughout the Lithuanian region.

In the same way, the Holy Treasury system practiced by our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the occupied areas has also been hyped up among the Lithuanian people by the people of Janusz Rajvir, in fact, Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir was able to attract so many people to follow him, not only because of his 'royal blood', but also because the vast majority of Lithuanian civilians regarded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Sacred Treasury system as a 'total looting'......"

Speaking of this, Xue Taishen's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, such a serious reversal of black and white is really a moment to test people's face......

Xue Taishen, who holds the Jinyi Guard, is one of the people who knows the truth about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's internal rule, and the so-called sacred treasury system is really not much different from robbery 'in the name of the law'......

It's even more naked than the state tax!

"Your Majesty, the Lithuanian people are still very war-spirited for their private property, they don't care whether it is the Han or the white who rule them, but they are very concerned about whether their money will be robbed by the officers and soldiers."

Xue Taishen paused and cautiously explained.

Hong Tiancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied shamelessly: "What? Are all the white civilians under my command starving? The system of the sacred treasury is not a lack of food, I let all white commoners suffer together equally...... Oh no, is it wrong to live a 'happy' life together? These lowly white people are really not enough to swallow elephants! ”

"Yes, yes, what His Majesty the Heavenly King said is that it is just that the people of Grand Duke Janush Rajvir have said bad things about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and distorted the facts, so naturally they will not talk about the 'benefits' of the Sacred Treasury System, but will only intensify their efforts to find out the inappropriateness of the Sacred Treasury System.

Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir has a natural advantage, and the people of Lithuania clearly trust their traditional royal bloodline more than our Taiping outsiders. ”

"Okay, I know this, Xue Taishen, I think you should be able to give me an accurate answer."

After hearing Hong Tiancheng's words, Xue Taishen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King, according to the analysis of the intelligence collected from all sides, it is not difficult for the Taiping army to defeat the stubborn resistance of Grand Duke Janush Rajvir, but it is necessary to prepare for a long-term battle before attacking, the mode of battle is basically a law and order war, and the chaotic times use heavy codes, and those self-righteous Lithuanian mob armed will only understand a truth after enough people die - who has the final say in this world!"

His Majesty the subordinate King of Heaven led the main force to directly attack the city of Vilno, and none of the Lithuanian nobles along the way dared to resist the advance of the main force of our Taiping army, and the local militia armed with those who did not succeed was not to worry, as long as some elites were arranged to protect the back road, once the city of Vilno was taken by our army, it would inevitably hit the morale of the local militia forces in resistance and the Lithuanian aristocratic army who refused to surrender, and when the time came, we would attack in all directions and gradually suppress it, and sooner or later the results of the efforts of the Grand Duke Janush Rajvir would be extinguished, but ......"

"Just what?" Hong Tiancheng, who was concentrating, subconsciously said loudly.

"Your Majesty the Heavenly King, the law and order war and siege war will definitely not be completed in a short period of time, and the subordinates are worried that foreign forces will intervene during the battle, and then there will be an abnormal number of victorious battles."

"Oh, it's nothing, take the city of Vilno first to complete the mission, eat one bite at a time, and don't hurt the enemy, how can they watch us swallow the whole of Lithuania?

At that time, the Teutonic Knights were defeated in Lithuania, and in the end, only one Prussian Brandenburg remained.

War is not a bad thing for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, hehe. ”
