The city of Zhytomyr was like the end of the world, the business of the carriage dealers was very good, all the transport carriages were rented out in just one day's work, and the whole city was in a state of restless depression, if it were not for the efforts of the militia of the security corps left behind, the city of Zhytomyr would have been rioted a long time ago.

The reason why Zhytomyr can still ensure basic social order is mainly due to the coercion brought by the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and now the news of encircling and suppressing the Khmelnytsky Cossack rebels and attacking the city of Kiev has been well known, and the army has already been mobilized to the city of Kiev, and even many vanguard troops led by the Polish nobles have engaged in fire with the small Cossack troops following Khmelnitsky.

It can be said that the Polish cities and people today are immersed in the 'greatness' of the country, and with the exception of the oppressed alien peasants and the unruly Cossacks who yearn for freedom, the majority of Poles still have faith in the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom.

Naturally, the Polish civilians, who could not afford to flee Zhytomyr, remained very calm and maintained the order of their lives, and most of the militia that remained were from the civilian class, and in this era, the composition of the militia was rarely from the propertied families, and almost all of them were made up of the burghers and townspeople.

Of course, in the troops led by the big nobles, many farmers in the countryside will be forcibly recruited to serve as militiamen, after all, the glory of the war belongs to the military nobles and knights, and has nothing to do with these low-level militias.

Robbing the victors against the vanquished, which was a reasonable norm in the 17th century, and the robbed side could only swallow their anger, who told them to be defeated?

Compared to those who did not even leave their lives, those who were robbed were undoubtedly considered lucky, as for the violation of women by the victors......

Well, the commoner women themselves have no concept of chastity, and if they could pray with their bodies to the victorious soldiers to give up and take their rations, I don't know how many village women would cry and cry 'what that'......

At this time, people are ignorant, but they are also very 'realistic', and after seeing too much death, the standard of other demands of human beings is really very low and very low.

The real hypocrisy is just those noble ladies who have been dressed and fed since childhood, and after being captured, this kind of aristocratic ladies often end up much more miserable than civilian women, or much better!

It depends mainly on the identity of the victor and the strength of the family of the captured noble lady.

The ancient countries of the East used women as a tool for political marriage, and there was actually no difference in the European continent in the West, and it was an inevitable trend in the development of human society.

In addition to becoming a tragedy, deviance could also be written into plays and touching deeds by later poets and operas, such as Romeo and Juliet......

Hong Tiancheng, who came to the 17th century, sometimes couldn't help but sigh, compared with the low-desire for life and simple and numb civilians in this era, the common people of the 21st century simply lived in paradise!

Paradise in the true sense of the word!

It is no exaggeration to say that the quality of life of any well-off family in the 21st century is comparable to that of the great nobles and even kings of this era!

If you count the convenience brought by modern technology, it is far more than that, the only thing lacking is that men in the 21st century cannot sleep with women at will like the great nobles and kings of this era......

Oh yes, you can't just kill people, and a word can decide life and death.

Because of this, Hong Tiancheng is not satisfied with his current living environment, and even the paper used to wipe his butt is not as good as the 21st century, which has undoubtedly become the motivation for Hong Tiancheng to work hard towards the king's goal!

Hong Tiancheng is powerless to change the low social productivity, all he can do is to make himself climb high enough, and he can support himself to get better living conditions by oppressing most people.

The scale of the escape from Zhytomyr was so great that, except for ordinary citizens who did not want to become refugees, Zhytomyrs who had a little money left the city with General Stanisław Konietspolsky, and even many incumbent officials of the city hall voluntarily resigned from their posts and left Zhytomyr with their families.

As a result, with the exception of a small number of officials who were unable to leave or were reluctant to leave, the loss of wealth in Zhytomyr was very serious......

With such a huge scale of escape, of course Hong Tiancheng and his party can get the news, this kind of thing is difficult to hide, and the scouts of the Taiping army only need to catch a few tongues in a few circles outside Zhytomyr City, and they will all know about it.

With 500 Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers, the Taiping Army's scout range has expanded very much, which is also Hong Tiancheng has suffered enough from being attacked and preemptively attacked by the enemy, so he would rather fight to disperse the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers to face unknown attrition, but also to keep the Taiping Army within a safe range of dozens of miles.

Of course, after Krysztof's tens of thousands of men were annihilated, the Taiping Army immediately became the most formidable presence in the region, at least temporarily......

Naturally, as long as they are not looking for death, the bulls, rats, snakes and insects in this area will walk around when they see the banner of the Taiping Army, let alone attack the scouts scattered by the Taiping Army.

Thousands of Taiping troops, holding high the banner of the word 'Hong', marched for more than ten miles, advancing towards the city of Zhytomyr.

And Hong Tiancheng, the salted fish king who is greedy for enjoyment, this time because of the sufficient manpower and the fact that he has just won a big victory, let thousands of Polish Taiping followers who have been subdued build a large sedan chair for themselves with 32 people, surrounded by pennants of 'Sao Bao Lafeng', Hong Tiancheng is not even a problem to walk around on it!

The whole sedan chair is covered with velvet, all the materials are made of the best materials captured by the Taiping army, and the chaise longue is inlaid with gold and silver, which is extremely luxurious, and it is a villain and oppressive class boss who must be eliminated in any movie......

Krysztov, who was following in the rear, looked at Hong Tiancheng's 32-carrying sedan chair, and he was also drunk with the taste of his master......

However, people are very realistic, no matter how unfair and unjust, as long as he knows that there is no chance to resist, he will show an extremely 'well-behaved' appearance, and those who are not well-behaved dare not show it......

In this way, under the slogan of 'boundless mana' that sounded from time to time, Hong Tiancheng came to the city of Zhytomyr under the nearly ten-meter-high city wall with an army that rendered a layer of religious mystery!

Hong Tiancheng sat on a sedan chair in the open air, looked at the city defense of Zhytomyr City in front of him, and said to himself in a flat tone: "This is the real city wall." ”
