"Winter is coming to an end, the two great enemies around the kingdom of heaven, the Russian Empire has become our ally, Karl X has been defeated and captured, and the kingdom of Sweden is in an uproar and has lost the ability to continue the attack.

And we still maintain a strong army, the next target must be the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, this Stanisław Koniecpolski has picked a good time, I remember, when I first made my fortune, the first Polish army to fight was led by this General Stanisław Koniecpolsky.

Sure enough, it's the opponent who knows me best to make the 'right' choice at the critical moment. ”

Hong Tiancheng enjoyed a hearty breakfast and talked eloquently.

"Your Majesty, Stanisław wants to obtain the position of King of Poland, and for this, he is willing to pay any price, including allowing us to openly garrison troops in the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania, and is willing to pay military expenses and additional 'years'."

"After realizing that he could not resist the kingdom of heaven, he simply devoted himself to it in order to go further, this Stanisław is a ruthless enough man to sell his country in a few words, but for those great nobles, their family interests are probably always above the interests of the country."

Hong Tiancheng wiped his lips with a napkin, raised his eyes and instructed Xue Taishen: "The name of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is no longer appropriate, a Polish dog is enough to be the barrier of our heavenly kingdom, I will ask Zhang Juzheng to draw up a detailed clause, you send someone to submit it to Stanisław secretly, if he is willing to accept it, he will be the king of the Kingdom of Poland, the protectorate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he is also the king of real power without the constraints of the Council of Sem, hehe." ”

In the spring of 1656, after the cold winter years, the army was integrated and assembled enough supplies to strengthen the elite 5th Grenadier Division, accompanied by Karl X's high-profile announcement of a peace agreement with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was openly supported by the Tsar of the Russian Empire (Thousand Faces), and the Russian Empire drove to the Kingdom of Sweden on the road!

A team of more than 20,000 people, including logistics and miscellaneous soldiers, marched towards the Kingdom of Sweden, including an elite 5th Grenadier reinforced Division with artillery, which was not so much an invasion of the Kingdom of Sweden as an escort to the return of Karl X!

However, before Karl X's troops could detonate the conflict in the Kingdom of Sweden, a large-scale invasion that shocked Eastern Europe broke out under the command of Hong Tiancheng.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd elite grenadier divisions of the Taiping Army, with 40,000 troops, crossed the more symbolic border defense area of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania from the direction of Lublin, Lviv, and Podolia respectively.

It took only one day for the Three Routes of the Taiping Army to break through the border line garrisoned by a standing army, mainly from the Polish militia, and without the armed support of the Christian Brotherhood, the Polish army did not even have the courage to resist......

Three elite grenadier divisions of the Taiping Army served as the main attackers, while the Kiev Guard Division sent several infantry regiments to occupy the town and maintain the logistics line along the way.

At the same time, Krysztof also led the Han army into Poland proper, following the main force of the Taiping army, to help manage the occupied towns and suppress the guerrillas.

The momentum of the Three-Way Taiping Army into a no-man's land made the Sym Council of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania chaotic, and the Polish nobles still understood the truth, and even the Polish king, who had been trying to take power, temporarily put aside his ambitions and cooperated with the Sym Council to resist the invasion of the Taiping Army.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania smashed pots and sold iron to loot local militias and aristocratic private armies, and formed a combatable army of more than 20,000 people to try to block the Taiping elite grenadier division of the Lublin line, which was also the greatest threat to the Polish capital Krakow.

A Polish army composed of more than 13,000 elite grenadier divisions of the Taiping Army, and more than 20,000 aristocratic private troops, mercenaries, and veteran militiamen still have hope of blocking the attack of an elite grenadier division of the Taiping Army in defensive warfare.

As long as the momentum of the Taiping army's attack can be stopped, the messenger of the Sulm Council of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania can pull reinforcements from the vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire.

The army went out, the grain and grass went first, not to mention, the Taiping army was much closer to the core area of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom than the allied forces of the Holy Roman Empire.

However, what made the Sym Council of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania angry from top to bottom was that the Christian Brotherhood, which had already agreed to form an alliance, did not have the slightest intention of helping when the main force of the Taiping Army was moving south, but instead Jobs ordered people to step up the search for the Masovia region and be ready for the 'Long March' at any time......

Of course, Jobs can cite a lot of examples to prove that his choice is correct, because the hard power of the Christian Brotherhood really can't beat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

To be precise, no country in Eastern Europe is sure that it will win against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom alone.

Having defeated the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden, Hong Tiancheng has grown into a major hegemon in Eastern Europe.

While the 1st Grenadier Division of the Taiping Army was engaged in a fierce battle with the troops assembled by the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, the defense area under the command of General Stanisław Koniecpolski suddenly defected and a large number of elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army were put in.

As a result, the main force of the Polish army was quickly outflanked and besieged by the elite grenadiers of the Taiping army, and was flanked from both sides!

Stanisław Kniecpolski's defection and two-sided attack greatly damaged the morale of the Polish army, coupled with the fierce offensive of the Taiping army, the main Polish force only resisted for less than two days, and the whole army was routed!

Stanisław Koniecpolski also sent people to respond in a number of large cities in Poland to help the Taiping army attacking the city open the city gate and occupy the city, with the support of Stanisław Koniecpolsky, a traitor who does not leave a bottom line, the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania did not hold out for even a week, and was beaten by the Taiping army to the capital city of Krakow.

The Polish king Jan Casimir Vasa was killed in front of the battle, and a large number of noble generals of the main battle faction were killed alive by Stanisław, and there was not only a shortage of soldiers in Krakow, but also few noble generals who dared to fight......
