038 Polish traitors who became a religion
It has been three days since the town was destroyed, and these three days have been tried again and again for Hong Tiancheng and the rectification of army materials, although the Taiping soldiers are at the diehard level, but the materials that should be allocated still need to be distributed, Hong Tiancheng can't let these soldiers who fought for themselves bloodied without food and clothing.
In the past, it was because of poverty (no fat sheep were grabbed), so the Taiping soldiers could only be tired, but now a town with a population of thousands has been taken down, even if most of the houses have been burned down, but under the conscious protection of the Taiping army, the warehouses for storing grain and other useful materials are still retained.
In a town with thousands of people, even if half of the supplies are in the account, it is enough for an army of thousands of people to use it for a while.
Of course, the sorting and distribution of these materials is just a daily matter, and the most thing the Taiping soldiers have done in the past three days is to arrest people!
In order to make his 'vote' full of weight, Hamsbond screened nearly a thousand surviving Polish civilians one by one, so many people died in the town, how many surviving Polish civilians had no relatives to be affected?
Therefore, these Polish civilians could not withstand scrutiny at all, and nearly 1,000 Polish civilians were directly pulled out by Hamsbond, more than 800 people, and only a few hundred or so were considered 'pure'......
Among the more than 100 people, most of them are "faithful" believers who have a good relationship with Hamsbond and have clearly expressed their willingness to take the initiative to abandon their original beliefs and "sincerely" believe in the Taiping doctrine.
Naturally, most of these 'faithful' believers who took refuge were men whom Hamsbond found useful, and the rest of the more than 100 people were, of course, all girls, and all of them were young Polish girls!
Although these carefully selected Polish girls are not good-looking, they are better than young, and although Hong Tiancheng's aesthetics bombarded by modern beauties are not appreciated, they are still quite useful to the Taiping soldiers.
Hamsbond is a very good church deacon, in fact, he did not rely on faith at all but trust to become a church deacon, naturally, in the selection process deliberately pulled out dozens of young Polish girls, used to curry favor with officers and even soldiers at all levels of the Taiping Army.
The most commendable thing is that these dozens of Polish civilian girls are voluntary!
The reason is very simple, the more than 800 guilty Polish civilians who were singled out were to be used as slave cannon fodder, and under the persuasion of Hamsbond, there would naturally be Polish girls who were willing to take on the 'heavy responsibility' of comforting the Taiping warriors.
The more than 100 people selected by Hamsbond have completely broken away from the civilian status, and they will be the first 'devout' believers to accept the Taiping teachings, the men are Hamsbond's men, and they have a close relationship with Hamsbond, and according to the instructions given by Hung Tiancheng, these men will be scattered to the surrounding Polish towns in batches to gather all the information that can be used.
The difference between the appearance of the Taiping soldiers and the white people is too great to be used as a detailed work, and the Taiping soldiers are all pure soldiers, which is a work that cannot be done carefully.
On the other hand, the Polish traitors screened out by Hamsbond are all locals, and even if they have not undergone special spy training, they are still no problem to collect some ordinary intelligence.
In this era, there were no standardized secrecy measures for the armies of various countries, and even the private anecdotes of life among the nobles were often exiled to the civilian taverns to become the talk of the common people after drinking, so the professional requirements for collecting intelligence were not high, and the focus was to be able to properly integrate into the local population.
As for the active Polish civilian girl who was screened out, naturally, she became a glorious Sister of the Peace, the Sister of the Peace and the women's battalion are two concepts, the Sister of the Peace is the 'establishment' that Hong Tian has become a soldier who treats herself, and she is set out separately, in line with the basic principle of your will, and will never engage in coercion......
If the Polish civilian girls refuse to do it, they will be put into the slave cannon fodder camp, and Hong Tiancheng still respects their basic rights and interests in this regard......
This is Hong Tiancheng's plan for the short-term future, and before he has laid a foundation enough for the capital-level city, he intends to adopt a lucrative rogue mode of warfare, and because of the different races, he can only rely on coercive oppression to coerce the people.
Of course, Hong Tiancheng will not forget the routine of using razing to defeat the people, and select Polish traitors who are willing to be the leading party, so that while dividing and disintegrating the Poles, he can also find out their details.
As the saying goes, only you know your own people best!
For the time being, Hong Tiancheng's strategy is quite successful, and Hamsbond not only pulled out a group of Polish spies for Hong Tiancheng, but also pulled out a large number of 'guilty people'.
Most importantly, Hamsbond also perfectly created a set of 'commentary' to reverse the concept of Catholic Orthodox believers and better accept the Taiping doctrine.
After dealing with the issue of prisoners, Hong Tiancheng obtained more topographic maps of the surrounding towns through the believers who converted to the Taiping Church, and also learned the basic information of Zhytomyr, the largest Polish military town nearby!
The main goal of the first batch of Hambond's elaborators was the city of Zhytomyr, and their task was to find out the approximate number and 'quality' of the troops in the city.
Hong Tiancheng himself continued to lead the Taiping army and swept towards other surrounding towns and villages, because Hong Tiancheng had already learned that his armed force of thousands of armed forces equipped with muskets was definitely at the level of a 'natural disaster'.
As long as they do not take the initiative to attack the military garrisons of the Poles, no city defense army and militia can fight against them.
Hong Tiancheng was able to break through the town of Loren with just three hundred people, and now he has an army of thousands, so it is naturally not a problem to attack other towns.
In fact, the reason why the Polish traitors led by Hamsbond are willing to follow Hong Tiancheng has a lot to do with the fact that the troops under his command are so generous, you know, Khmelnytsky, who fought to the death with the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, fell in love and killed each other and captured the city of Kiev, and his command was only tens of thousands of elites.
In this era, with more than 10,000 elite troops, it basically has the ability to become a chess piece, although the national strength is very strong, but the territory is also large, there are many places that need to be defended, and the strength on paper seems scary, but there are not many real mobile elite troops, and even a large number of militia are needed.
This is the reason why Khmelnitsky revolted with 8,000 Ukrainian Cossacks, but was able to burn and loot all the way through the city of Kyiv.
What Hong Tiancheng has to do next can be regarded as Khmelnitsky's old way - washing the floor!
