After the independence of various ethnic groups in the Balkan Peninsula, Transylvania, Wallachia, and Moldova, which were vassals of the original Ottoman Turkish Empire, became independent from the Ottoman Turkish Empire under the attack of the Taiping Army.

When the Taiping army won many battles in the Ottoman Turkish Empire itself, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was deeply trapped in Central Europe, finally made up its mind, withdrew from Central Europe, and looked for the main force of the Taiping army to fight.

At this time, after sweeping the lords of the European part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the two Taiping armies successfully joined forces in Bulgaria and returned to meet the main force of the Ottoman Turkish Empire who took the initiative to kill back!

Hong Tiancheng can't let these hundreds of thousands of Ottoman elites destroy the achievements that he has been busy with for more than half a year, although those nation-states and Ottoman vassal states are independent, but the army is still at the stage of militia and guerrillas, and even the muskets are not matched, let alone confront the regular army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire......

Even the three vassal states with their own armaments are not much better.

Because all the troops that could fight in the three vassal states were loyal to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and as a result, they were all beaten by the Taiping army, otherwise, how could the three vassal states obediently obey Hong Tiancheng's orders and become independent from the Ottoman Turkish Empire?

The Ottoman Turkish Empire in the 17th century was not the sick man of Europe, it was a terrifying existence that made the whole European continent feel a lot of pressure!

In opposition to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, first of all, those small countries have to weigh their own weight, and the three major vassal states are not local national regimes that have little knowledge and are supported by the Taiping Army, they are well aware of the huge size of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

However, because of this, the three vassal states were even more fearful of the Taiping army, which swept away the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

In any case, the actions of the Taiping army not only shocked the attention of the land, but also attracted the revenge of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, who preferred to give up the entire land that Central Europe had already conquered, and to destroy the Taiping army entrenched in the 'homeland'!

As a result, more than 100,000 elite forces of the Ottoman Turkish Empire fought with the Taiping Army for more than a month.

The result of the battle was no different from what the bigwigs of the anti-Han alliance expected, how could the Taiping army, which was equipped with Hanyang-made rifles and fought without fear of death, be defeated by the main force of hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Turkish Empire when the force did not occupy an absolute disadvantage?

That's a terrifying presence that swept across the continent!

And only a mad Ottoman sultan would do that......

However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was also helpless, if it did not let more than 100,000 people return to attack the Taiping army, they would be trapped and die in Central Europe!

The mainland of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the back was all independent by the Taiping army, and their logistics lines were basically cut off, so it was natural to drive the Taiping army out while there was still the strength of the war, otherwise, sooner or later it would collapse!

At the very least, a fight with the Taiping Army can weaken the strength of the Taiping Army.

Although the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were all wiped out after more than a month, the strategic purpose of the Ottoman Sultan was barely completed, and the main force of the ten divisions of the Taiping Army attacked the territory of the European part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and fought with the main force of the Ottoman Turkish Empire for more than a month, and the losses were not insignificant!

After Hong Tiancheng's new round of merger and reorganization, only 3 of the 10 main divisions of the Taiping Army were left with full strength......

Combined, there are more than 40,000 people.

Now, the systematic strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, plus the 15,000 local troops, the total number is only more than 55,000 people, and this data naturally can't be hidden from the Ottoman Sultans and the anti-Han alliance, and even the mud-legged armed forces in Central Europe can't be hidden!

Seeing the unprecedented decline of the Taiping Army, the Ottoman Turkish Empire lost almost all of its European territory and could only retreat to the capital of Istanbul, the minds of the European countries immediately became active.

The sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire saw the declining Taiping army, and he had the intention of revenge but was incapable, the old qualified regular army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was swept away, and the remaining troops still had to control the territory in the east, and the only remaining elite garrison Istanbul was okay, so don't think about going out......

As for the various nation-states liberated by the Taiping Army, because of the complete decentralization of the Taiping Army, they began to develop their armaments on a large scale, and began to completely liberate themselves, and the number of troops swelled particularly badly, because they were afraid of being retaliated against by the Ottoman Turks!

Without the restraint and control of the Taiping Army, the military strength of an independent country expanded very rapidly, and it was completely a posture of reckless military force.

Having been enslaved by the Ottoman Turkish Empire for a long time, they longed for their own kingdom.

Not only did the independent countries of the original Ottoman Turkish Empire work hard, but Central Europe also gradually recovered after the departure of the main force of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but the recovery was very slow because the population was massacred.

During this period, the Brandenburg region, which had not been occupied by the Ottomans, formed a strong army based on the Prussians, and the local warlord army, which regarded itself as the orthodoxy of the German nation, swept through Central Europe and scattered local warlords.

Yes, the current Central European armed forces can only be regarded as warlords at best, because the former feudal lords have long been uprooted by the Taiping army......

Relying on the geographical advantage and accumulated military power that deviated from the Ottoman invasion, Berlin showed a very good momentum at the first time, and soon annexed all parts of Central Europe and established the German Republic!

The German Republic developed rapidly, and after the complete collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in 1678, the German Republic expanded its territory directly into the territory of the former Kingdom of Austria, and even Vienna was occupied by the German Republic.

The unification of Central Europe, which was not achieved by the Holy Roman Empire, was achieved in the hands of the German Republic......

However, the reason why this German Republic expanded so rapidly was also thanks to the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it was the massacre of the Ottomans that caused the population of Central Europe to plummet, and there were not many young and strong warlords, and the armed forces of those warlords were naturally very weak and could not resist the German Republic, allowing the German Republic to complete the snowballing expansion.

The expansion of the German Republic was not much different from the armed march.

Of course, at this time, Hong Tiancheng couldn't care about that, because he had already got what he wanted, after sweeping the European territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Hong Tiancheng gained 10,000 points of personal prestige, eliminated more than 100,000 Ottoman main elites, and made the Ottoman Turkish Empire completely decline, and once again gained 10,000 points of personal prestige!

So far, Hong Tiancheng's personal reputation has reached 100,000!
