After fleeing Stockholm in disarray, protected by thousands of elite grenadiers of the Taiping army and hundreds of loyal Swedish guards, Karl X gathered his troops and began to rally his supporters of the Swedish crown to gather where he was.

Karl X's family was deeply rooted in the Swedish kingdom, and the reason why this rebellion put Karl X in a disadvantageous position at the beginning was mainly because of the division within the Swedish royal family itself!

After the seizure of Stockholm, the Swedish parliament that rebelled against Karl X declared Karl X a traitor to the Kingdom of Sweden in accordance with Swedish law in the Stockholm court, and under the leadership of the rebels of the Swedish royal family, the son of Karl X, who was only two years old, was promoted to the new king of the Kingdom of Sweden, called Karl XI.

The brain circuits of Europeans are really not understandable to Orientals......

After the youngest son of Karl X succeeded to the throne, the 2-year-old boy did not know anything except eating and sleeping, and the power naturally fell into the hands of the Swedish parliament and the royal rebels, who went toe-to-toe with Karl X, calling on the entire Swedish kingdom to launch a full-scale war, encircling Karl X and the Taiping army in the territory, and persuading Karl X's supporters to go wrong.

Under the call of the Swedish parliament under the banner of Karl X, coupled with the good war situation, the number of supporters of Karl X has decreased sharply, and the fifth grenadier division of the Taiping Army is very capable of fighting, and in the face of several times the enemy army, it can still fight on the front line of Vyborg, but Karl X, who is in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Sweden, and the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army who protect him have become weak, and those who support him are naturally unwilling to accompany Karl X to the funeral......

Originally, in this situation, the Vyborg front attracted a large number of Swedish rebels, allies of the Russian Duma coalition and the 5th Grenadier Division of the Taiping Army, the main force of the Christian Brotherhood, as long as it was defeated and annihilated, the civil war in the entire Kingdom of Sweden would end immediately, because the Swedish Parliament, which seized the capital of Stockholm, had already occupied the righteousness in the Kingdom of Sweden, and the appeal of Karl X was running out.

Even Karl X himself could only be a fugitive with a small number of guards and the protection of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army.

But what made the situation embarrassing was that the battle on the front line of Vyborg never stopped, and the Taiping army in the field was almost invincible, not to mention the Taiping army squatting in the fortifications?

The most terrible thing is that Vyborg City was fully occupied by the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army who were stationed in it with super combat effectiveness as soon as the civil war began, and the arsenal and firearms workshop inside fell into the hands of the Taiping Army almost unharmed, providing a steady stream of ammunition for the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army to maintain the battle.

Similarly, Helsinki was also occupied by the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, and the military-industrial system in it was fully utilized, and the two large cities had enough ammunition to support the Taiping Army to fight the war until next year......

Although the Taiping army was in a weak position, it was far from being wiped out, because the Taiping soldiers' will to fight to the death made Jobs see no hope of a quick victory.

So, Karl X and his party, who got rid of the pursuers, simply took a Swedish transport ship and transported Karl X across the Baltic Sea to the port of Helsinki!

This move of Karl X ostensibly gave up most of the reinforcements of supporters in the Kingdom of Sweden, but it saved his own life, and as long as Karl X lived, the civil war in the Kingdom of Sweden would never stop.

After all, many supporters of the Swedish royal family do not agree with a two-year-old legitimate successor, and unless the father Karl X dies, there is no other choice, and the civil war in the Swedish kingdom will cease.

Of course, there is another unspeakable reason in the hearts of the supporters of Karl X, who can say what will happen in the future, with the strong support of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the strongest military empire in Eastern Europe?

In the eyes of some unscrupulous nobles, national honor and territorial sovereignty are far less important than those enjoyed by their own nobles, not to mention, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not to occupy the Kingdom of Sweden, but to support Karl X to obtain some benefits.

These interests of the Swedish aristocracy can be passed on to the plebeian class, which has no rights and the right to speak, and continue to be their aristocratic uncle.

Even, with the military protection of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Kingdom of Sweden can also greatly reduce military spending, and with less military spending, the money of the nobles and lords can naturally be used more for enjoyment, such as eating an extra meal of white bread stained with honey every day......

The annual overseas trade brought huge profits to the nobles of the Kingdom of Sweden, which was not a small country with poor finances, otherwise it would not have built a strong army and a systematic military-industrial system that supported the army, and the city of Stockholm itself was a well-known trading port city on the European continent.

A series of upheavals in Eastern Europe and the subsequent Swedish civil war caught Hong Tiancheng a little off guard, Hong Tiancheng was just an ordinary person lucky enough to get the golden finger, not an all-knowing and all-powerful God, and the intelligence system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Northern Europe was about zero, so naturally it was impossible to know that there was such a powerful resistance force in northern Russia and the Kingdom of Sweden.

In response to a series of events in northern Europe, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to temporarily change its plans for the next military offensive and refocus its strategy on the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden.

5 elite grenadier divisions of the Taiping Army were ready to march in the direction of Moscow, and Hong Tiancheng once again went into battle to personally conquer the newborn Novgorod Kingdom and the Russian self-supporting aristocratic territories everywhere!

Oh yes, now they have joined forces to form a loose Russian Duma League!

The Russian aristocracy had a strong sense of honor, and although they abandoned their allegiance to the Russian Tsar, they were unwilling to give up the traditional glorious name of Russia, which was also a large number of disintegrating aristocratic forces in Russia, and only established two kingdoms that did not bear the Russian name, the Kingdom of Novgorod and the Kingdom of Siberia.

However, the Novgorod kingdom had been planning a counter-attack on Moscow and renamed it the Russian Empire, while the Kingdom of Siberia was a sparsely populated and empty kingdom founded by expeditionary Russian noble generals and a group of Tatar soldiers conquered by the Russians.

The ultimate strategic goal of the Russian Duma League is the same, to overthrow the current tsar and rebuild the Russian Empire!
