293 Karl's beggars
"Your Majesty, Karl X has sent someone to sue for peace."
Xue Tai put the letter from Karl X sent by the Swedish messenger in front of Hong Tiancheng's bookcase.
Hong Tiancheng, who has the automatic translation function of the Total War System, can naturally understand the Swedish script written by Karl X.
"Hehe, a sentence that I am willing to maintain the long-term friendship between the two countries will let me let him go back to the Kingdom of Sweden? Did Karl X treat me like a white gentleman to theirs?
We Han people follow the principle of cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, the scourge is endless, Karl X did not use the truce to beg for any benefits, I think it is necessary to make Karl X understand that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is least afraid of war! ”
After reading Karl X's euphemistic letter asking for peace, Hong Tiancheng laughed angrily.
For other countries on the European continent, a multi-front war is a harbinger of the destruction of the country, but for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this is not a problem at all, on the one hand, because Hong Tiancheng can continue to recruit new elite troops through war, and on the other hand, because Hong Tiancheng occupies the living place of white people, no matter what kind of cholera is caused by the war, how many civilians die, it has no impact on the root of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
To put it bluntly, it's not that your own things are smashed and you don't feel distressed, and no matter how many people of other races die, it won't make the hearts of the top leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fluctuate.
The same is true for the white man, who has been shown by the bloody facts of recent history that the Age of Discovery is a glorious history of Europeans, but a history of blood and tears for other peoples of the world, and that white Europeans claim to have brought the dawn of civilization to the past, but do not ask the local indigenous races if they want to.
The most important thing is that when the white Europeans brought the dawn of civilization, they effectively reduced the population base of the local races, the Indians and African blackmen fell under the guns of the whites in batches, and the Asian races signed various unequal treaties in front of the white people's bayonets for a long time, and the slightest resistance was war oppression, causing tens of thousands of corpses to the invaded Asian countries!
Not to mention the huge losses both politically and economically.
In later generations, the white Europeans who claimed to be gentlemen, in fact, their ancestors fought the world for them with blood-stained hands, and without the bloody colonial history of modern times, where did the white people in the 21st century come from as the mainstream hegemonism in the world?
It is human nature to repay the other in the same way, the natives of this world do not know the blood feud in the history of the later generations, but Hong Tiancheng's memory has not been damaged at all, since he knows the brutal methods of these European whites in the future, why should he sympathize with the white people?
Since the white people could slaughter the Han people when they were strong and force the Manchu government to sign a series of unequal treaties, why couldn't Hong Tiancheng let the Han people step on the top of the white people's heads, shit and fart, and act as a prestige?
Truth is always within the range of a cannon, the weak can only survive by winning sympathy, and the strong use justice to whitewash their war of aggression, and human nature and national interests are nothing more than that.
The so-called dawn of civilization is nothing more than a 'reasonable' explanation of the actions of its own executioner after one people has committed a heinous crime of murder against humanity against another, because no one dares to refute the account of the victor!
At least, until the 21st century, such voices of rebuttal are afraid to be openly proclaimed.
Of course, now that Hong Tiancheng has the advantage, he is naturally unwilling to compromise with Karl X, not to mention that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still on the side of the invaded!
The Kingdom of Sweden has the most developed handicraft industry and weapon workshops in Eastern Europe at this time, and its own military industry is strong, once the elite led by Karl X is put back, it will not take a few years for him to use these elites as the backbone to re-establish the main Swedish army!
Compared to the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom and the Russian Empire, which had already killed hundreds of thousands of people, the Swedes, who had only lost more than 20,000 people, still had war potential.
"Xue Tai, tell the Swedish messenger that I will allow Karl X to surrender, but I must unconditionally lay down all arms and obey the dispatch of the Taiping army, I can guarantee their lives, as well as the aristocratic treatment that Karl X and others deserve.
If not, just wait for the army to encircle and suppress it. ”
After Xue Tai heard the order, he bowed down to Hong Tiancheng and reminded: "Your Majesty, we still have many weak points in our encirclement of the Swedish Legion, the Fifth Grenadier Division has split the troops into battalion-level combat units in order to besiege the Swedish Legion, once Karl X is desperate, I am afraid it will cause great losses to the Fifth Grenadier Division." ”
"How can there be immortals in war? The combat mission of the 5th Grenadier Division was to do everything possible to stop the main forces of the Swedish corps of Karl X, and no matter what the cost, it was necessary to keep Karl X in the Lithuanian region!
I want all of Europe to know what the fate of the invasion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be! ”
Hong Tiancheng paused for a moment, slightly soothed his excited emotions and said: "Tell the commander of the Fifth Grenadier Division that you must block Karl X's counterattack and persist until our army encircles and supports, anyone can escape, but Karl X, I am determined to win!"
If he can't do it, he, the division commander, won't have to do it! ”
After the loyalty was constant, Hong Tiancheng naturally focused on the aspect of ability, although the initial officer ability of the all-out war system is not bad, but no matter how good the theoretical results are, they must be applied to actual combat, not to mention, after each major war, the Taiping army will always lose a lot of troops, in the main force of the Taiping army, which can only rely on the system of soldiers to supplement, if the establishment is seriously defective, can only take the measure of merging and reorganizing to ensure that the troops maintain strong combat effectiveness.
When two divisions are merged into one division, it is natural that one division commander will step down, and which division commander will step down will depend on his performance in the war.
However, most middle- and low-level officers will not have this kind of trouble when they are not merged, because if the number of troops is reduced to the extent that it is necessary to merge, it means that most of the officers have been killed, and naturally there is no problem of fighting for posts......
This is also a problem that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must face, Hong Tiancheng's approach will certainly make the Taiping army always full of high combat effectiveness, like a perpetual motion machine will not show fatigue in frequent wars, but only the loyal and die-hard troops can do this.
At least in the 17th century, there was no other country whose armies could maintain their fighting strength as the main army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Perhaps, only the armies of the non-capitalist countries that were brainwashed by various political ideologies during the Second World War and had machine gun warlords in the back of their butts could do this. ()
