298 Security Corps and Han Cooperative Army
After the Taiping army captured Karl X, this manpower and material resources of the search and arrest operation came to an end, although the checkpoint has not been abolished, but the number of Taiping army detachments has been greatly reduced.
Hong Tiancheng had lost interest in the scattered Swedish routs.
The wars with the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden in 1655, as well as the invasion and defeat of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, completely collapsed the system of local garrisons that had just been put in place by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The tens of thousands of local garrisons, mainly composed of systematic soldiers obtained by lottery, have lost more than eighty percent of the battles with the Russian Empire for the Smolensk and Verkhov regions, the Kingdom of Sweden's wanton invasion of Lithuania and the siege of the city of Vilno, and the Red Rus' region of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom as a servant army.
Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regained victory in the subsequent counteroffensive of Hong Tiancheng's personal expedition, the original local garrison system had disappeared, and the third-rate system soldiers obtained by lottery were lost, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was no longer able to form a new local garrison.
After the defeated local garrisons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom returned to their hometowns, they spread the horror of the battlefield in a big way, which also made it difficult for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to recruit white soldiers from the servant army who were willing to set foot on the battlefield......
As a result, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to abolish the former local garrison system and replace it with a security corps joint security system.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom no longer set up local garrisons that needed to fight, but only set up security regiments, each of which was reduced to a public security police force, with a strength of about 2,000 people, responsible for local security patrols and cooperating with the Taiping Army and the Jinyi Guards to arrest criminals.
Due to the ban on guns in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the police force of the Security Corps was mainly equipped with cold weapons, and only small leaders such as captains had the right to have outdated arquebuses.
The head of the security regiment was filled by the few third-rate system soldiers who survived the lottery in the original local garrison force, and the third-rate system soldiers obtained by these lottery were not very combative, but at least they were more reliable than the local whites in terms of loyalty.
After losing its war function, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom naturally did not divide the land among the security personnel like the security regiment, who were not even as good as cannon fodder, but only carried out some preferential tax policies to attract personnel.
At least, the security corps is in charge of the food!
Moreover, there is a young man in the family who joins the security corps and can enjoy a large amount of tax deduction system.
These two points were very valuable among the barren white people under the rule of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and naturally attracted many white young people to join.
Most importantly, the security regiment maintains the locals' own hometowns, unlike local garrisons, which need to serve as second-line troops in wartime.
This is one of the important weights for local white young people to be willing to join.
Not only can you get preferential tax treatment, but you can also eat well, and you don't have to go to the battlefield, naturally many people are willing to join.
As the war progressed, the war reputation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was rapidly bankrupting among the people, even the women in the countryside knew that fighting with the Taiping Army would kill them for a lifetime!
Therefore, the security regiment system was derived to help the Taiping army manage the local area and save military strength.
In this way, the security regiment system was quickly established on the 'corpses' of the original local garrisons, and the small number of local guard soldiers who were originally left behind became black modern cloth uniforms and became members of the white security regiment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Of course, Hong Tiancheng would not spend money to equip the members of the security regiment with expensive armor......
Cloth military uniforms, the uniform system can effectively distinguish between friend and foe, and it is cheap.
Well, cheap is the point!
I don't know if it's Hong Tiancheng's bad taste, he designed the military uniform style of the security regiment and the 'black dog' police costume in the history of the Republic of China in later generations, of course, it's just similar......
The Security Corps lost its use as a servant army, and Hong Tiancheng paid more attention to Krysztof, a white patriotic force controlled by the famous Polish traitors.
Hong Tiancheng used the military merit field system to absorb a small number of white civilians who wanted money and did not want to die to join the white servant army led by Krysztoff, and reorganized and changed its name.
The full name is the Taiping Heavenly Association to manage the army, because the Taiping Army is an army composed of Han people, so this force is often referred to as the Han Army.
The white guerrillas in decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom called them white dogs, meaning lackeys and scum among the whites, and foreign powers called them the Taiping puppet army or the Han puppet army......
As a cannon fodder unit of the White Servant Army for front-line combat, the Han Allied Army was formally trained in the European Continental Standing Army, accompanied by muskets captured from the Swedish Legion and Russian soldiers.
It's also a kind of waste utilization.
However, due to the fact that the Han Concordia Army had just been established, the number of young and strong white people in the areas controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had lost a large number of people, and the reputation of the war had declined, so the number was not large.
If you want to conquer the European continent, it is completely not enough to rely on the human resources of the all-out war system, and you must make full use of the demographic dividend of the conquered white nation!
The security regiment system was nothing more than a measure used by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to save military strength, but the Han Association Army was related to the foundation of future external and internal conquests.
After the news of the annihilation of the Swedish legion and the capture of Karl X, the whole of Eastern Europe was shaken, and the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania on the side became trembling again, and even Jobs's Christian Brotherhood was ready to migrate again......
If you can't beat it, you can run, it has always been the foundation of the Christian Brotherhood, and it is precisely because of this that the strength of the Christian Brotherhood will expand so quickly.
While the political scene of the Kingdom of Sweden was arguing over the news of the capture of Karl X, Karl X himself was sitting in a manor in Kiev, staring at his cousin Kristina.
"Why are you here?"
This was a mutual greeting after the two met, and then the two sides fell silent, obviously, to be able to meet here, has said a lot......
Just as a current Swedish king and a former Swedish queen were wandering in an embarrassing atmosphere, a hearty laugh came in, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army's personal guard battalion wearing gorgeous armor were divided into two columns holding bayonets and flintlock pistols to stop left and right, and Hong Tiancheng, who was wearing the robe of the emperor of heaven, walked in with a spring breeze on his face.
"Now that everyone is together, it's time for us to talk about mutual benefit and win-win results."
