093 The city is broken

"The Taiping Army is coming up again!" When Jobs heard the shouts from ahead, he immediately got up and looked at the city where the fire was gradually extinguishing, and after seeing the Poles who were wearing simple clothes and a red turban around their heads, he raised his hand to stop his soldiers and shouted: "Don't go up yet, it's not the soldiers of the Taiping Army who are going to the top of the city, it's the Polish civilians they are coercing!" ”

"But, they're putting out the fire!"

Several soldiers around shouted anxiously, they were just a group of militia soldiers who had been temporarily pulled up, and the last essence of the real regular army had ascended to heaven under the previous suicide explosion, and was buried in the fire along with the commander of the highest city defense army in Lutsk City.

There was no shortage of bloody warriors among the Polish military aristocracy, and not all of them, like Kresztov, were willing to betray their country and nation for their future and their lives.

In fact, the Polish military aristocracy may have their own little calculations, but their determination to resist foreign enemies was very strong, because the Polish military aristocracy has always regarded the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom as the most powerful country in Eastern Europe, and there is no one!

They have always had the heart of a strong country, and they think that they have the glory of the strong, so they will naturally not be willing to bow to the enemy.

The lower the status of the Polish military aristocracy, the more resolute this sentiment is, because their low status does not allow them to obtain more comprehensive information about various countries, and the concept in their minds is still stuck in the most glorious moment of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom decades ago, while the Polish nobles who are enough to enter the Diet of Sem have a deeper understanding of the strength of their neighbors around them, and they are more 'rational'.

Because of this, in the end, the upper level of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom collapsed, and the self-reliant self-reliance, in short, did not pay for the continuation of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, and was divided by the three countries of Prussia, Austria and Russia at the end of the 18th century!

It's just that because the concept of the middle and lower Polish military aristocracy has been continued, the Polish nation's resistance and uprising have never been broken, and their combat effectiveness may not be good, but the 'mysterious self-confidence' of the Polish people's independence has made any country that has conquered Poland feel a headache, and the mustache during World War II was even more neat and neat to carry out poison gas massacres on Poland that did not obey discipline, and more than 5 million Poles were slaughtered on a large scale in just a few years!

The Poles were the most poisoned people by the Nazis after the Jews!

Jobs watched the flames in the city gradually extinguish, and his eyes flashed with hatred and struggle: "Brothers, although I don't want to admit it, the situation in Lutsk City is obvious to everyone, we can't hold it anymore, and now we only have a few hundred soldiers left who can continue to fight, and a week ago we were still civilians!"

It's time for us to think about our own lives! ”

At this moment, the Lutsk soldiers guarding the city wall have only scattered militia organizations left, and the supreme commander has been killed in the line of duty, in fact, when the Ottoman light shield soldiers have gained a foothold in the city, everyone knows that the battle is over, and there are less than 2,000 people on the city wall, so they almost clean up the most capable hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Lutsk defenders, and wait until the thousands of Taiping main forces outside the city swarm up, how can they fight?

These Polish militiamen, who had not yet fled, were just afraid of the reputation of the Taiping Army and feared that they would be retaliated by the Taiping Army after breaking the city, so they stayed here to resist with the idea of pulling a cushion to die.

Today, the orthodox officers of the Lutsk garrison have either run away or died in the city, so that Jobs, a militia officer bought through the door, can become the highest-ranking existence......

Jobs was born into a family of merchants, his grandfather was a restaurant, his father was a drug seller, and his mother was ...... Well, Jobs has always been reluctant to mention his mother's origins, because his mother was a down-and-out aristocratic lady that his father paid for!

Jobs's father actually bought the family name of the noble lady, and no matter how down-and-out the nobleman is, he is also a nobleman, better than a commoner businessman with no name.

This is also one of the few ladders for the wealthy commoners at the bottom of the European continent to climb up, and the nobles and the state are also short of money, so they naturally don't care about selling the titles of some subordinate minor nobles, and the noble title of gentleman is actually bought by merchants with money.

It's just that this kind of noble title is more of an honor, with no additional benefits, at most, it is to see other commoners to be called 'gentleman', and in front of other orthodox nobles, there is no need to bow down like commoners.

Unfortunately, the Jobs family's business, with the advent of the war, all ended, his father was requisitioned as a logistics staff to provide food, following the Lutsk intercepted 'field troops' to fight against the Taiping army, his mother accompanied his father to go busy, as a result of the war, Jobs's parents were not heard from until a few days before the Taiping soldiers came to the city, he learned from the fleeing domestic servants that his parents had returned to the arms of the Lord in the pursuit of the Taiping army......

After hearing the news at that time, Jobs, after locking himself in the house alone and staying awake all night, scattered all his wealth and sold all his property the next day, and used the money to raise a group of poor civilians and young men on his own, and went to the recruitment office in Lutsk to sign up.

In Europe, if a person can join the army with dozens or hundreds of people, and he is the leader of this group, he will be directly awarded the title of officer in wartime, of course, all this is also paid for.

After Jobs, who was good at business, entered the militia system, he quickly figured out the way to it, and the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania in this era had a very loose management of the militia and infantry army, as long as it was in a time of war, the more people were brought in, the higher the official position granted.

The only thing that needs to be ensured is the innocence of the identity information.

Of course, you need to bring your own weapons!

It can be said that the municipal government of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania used empty military ranks to entrap civilian military defectors.

Being an officer in Europe is a very majestic thing, and I don't know how many people want to become an officer because they want to become an officer, so only in wartime will European countries open this opening.

In the 17th century, there was no so-called mobilization mechanism in Europe, and when fighting a war, it was either mercenaries or such civilian armed forces, and even military uniforms were not uniform, and each corps had its own 'special military uniform', because these military uniforms were customized by the commander himself, and at most they reimbursed part of the cost to the government.

Therefore, when European armies are fighting, robbery is not the exception but the norm!

Officers and soldiers are counting on this to return to their capital, because the armies of many countries only have wartime allowances and salaries, and it is very common for them to be owed for several years without payment......
