In the courtyard of the Heavenly Kingdom Shoufu in Vilno City, which was converted from the original mansion of the great nobles, the Jinyi guard spy was reporting to Zhang Juzheng the latest movements of the Christian Brotherhood.

Since Hong Tiancheng personally marched into Smolensk with the main division of the Taiping Army to aid Zhao Yan, the affairs of the occupied area of Lithuania were handed over to Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting in Vilno.

Together with the two elite infantry regiments of the Taiping Army at the border line, they were also controlled by Zhang Juzheng, and all the garrisons of the White People's Militia and the Swedish urban militia stationed in the cities of Lithuania and the Polish Scythemen were also handed over to the Heavenly Cabinet headed by Zhang Juzheng.

Hong Tiancheng played a major role in referring to the cabinet chief auxiliary system established by the Ming Dynasty, which not only greatly increased his spare time, but also allowed him to spend more time on 'day' and every opportunity, and during the imperial expedition, the occupied areas of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were no longer strict but unorganized military management system.

In fact, in terms of the governance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Tiancheng only put forward the decision in the general direction, and the specific details and implementation are handed over to the cabinet to be responsible.

Hong Tiancheng sighed more than once that the special talents given by the all-out war system are more effective than giving him tens of thousands of troops, and there is nothing wrong with the army being used to fight and kill people, but it is these capable and loyal civil servants who really rely on the world.

"Oh? The main force of the Christian Brotherhood did not go to the main force of our army to flank the border, and Jobs was a smart man, and since he was so knowledgeable, it would not hurt to let him go for the time being. ”

After reading the information, Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

The cordon of the Taiping Army, which is close to the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, seems to be dangerous and faces the risk of being annihilated, but in fact it is a set made by Zhang Juzheng, a large number of local systematic militias and locally recruited town guards have already established a stable troop transportation and logistics route, and a large number of new troops are lurking behind the cordon and are ready at any time.

Within the boundaries of Lithuania, there are spies rampant with the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei has even developed many white traitors as their peripheral and executive team supplements, and with the support of the Heavenly Policy, the Jinyiwei can be described as a real clairvoyant in the Lithuanian region where there are no opponents.

Naturally, the powerful Jinyi Guards also have the ability to make foreign troops deaf and blind in the Lithuanian region.

Due to its particularity, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has created a very interesting intelligence network, which is so tight internally that it covers the sky with one hand, but externally it is like a sieve, and even the serious Jinyiwei spies do not dare to get into danger easily, as long as the Jinyiwei spies with yellow faces appear in the land outside the heavens, they don't need to be arrested by the local government at all, and the local white residents will kill the lone Jinyiwei spies!

The appearance of the Han Chinese of the Taiping Army was different from that of the white people, the Turkic race, and even the Mongol descendants, and after the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the appearance of the Han people was widely spread among the common people and became the face of the devil.

The hordes of Han soldiers naturally made the white civilians retreat, even if they knew that they would die in their hands, they were weak and did not dare to resist, but if they encountered a lone Han Chinese in a territory outside the kingdom of heaven, I am afraid that they would not even find the corpse.

Indeed, the sudden attack of the Christian Brotherhood against the Taiping infantry regiment on the border of the Livonia region was very successful, and the cabinet headed by Zhang Juzheng did not expect that the Christian Brotherhood would make a group of crazy people who had explosives tied to their bodies and should cooperate with each other to divide the victory and defeat in a short period of time, resulting in the loss of the first move.

However, after the Christian Brotherhood was listed as a key hostile force by Zhang Juzheng, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream for them to launch that kind of surprise attack.

The march path of the main force of the Christian Brotherhood in the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be updated every day, and it was placed on Zhang Juzheng's copywriting, and Zhang Juzheng naturally prepared a counter-encirclement strategy against the flanking battle shown by the previous route of the Christian Brotherhood.

Unexpectedly, Jobs once again betrayed his teammates, and rushed to the Black Ross region, which was of little value to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

With 50,000 Lithuanian militiamen sent to the front as cannon fodder, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had long since abandoned the management of law and order in the countryside and small towns, and only maintained the operation of the cities.

This is also the reason why the Christian Brotherhood was able to march swaggering in the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Jobs also understood this truth, so he only chose to march in the countryside and attract people to join the church, without the slightest intention of provoking the city.

The Christian Brotherhood is a peasant uprising, it is very poor, there are few artillery shells, and the siege ability is weak, and the Taiping army's systematic militia has retreated into the city, which greatly increases the strength of the city's defensive forces, and it will inevitably take a long time to attack the city.

Jobs was well aware of the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and once the main force of the Christian Brotherhood stopped, it was very likely to fall into the encirclement and suppression of the Taiping army.

The most important thing is that Jobs did not want his own capital to become Hong Tiancheng's primary target, as an opponent who knew the essence of the Taiping Army best, Jobs knew very well the needs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Fearlessness of war, thirst for land, and protection of the wealth of the great city.

Hong Tiancheng is willing to drain all the militia forces in the poor rural areas for the sake of the war, to serve as cannon fodder on the front line, and give up the dominance of large rural lands, but he will not give up control of the city!

Because every city has a lot of social wealth, handicrafts, and people.

These three things are the 'national goods' that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really values.

Handicraft workshops can produce a steady stream of daily necessities and military ammunition, not to mention those valuable physical objects, no one will dislike the lack of gold in their pockets!

Population and labor were the cornerstone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and every city was surrounded by a vast number of farms of officials and slaves, while in the countryside, in addition to a group of poor white ghosts who were rewarded with military merits, there were scattered marauders and bandits that were born in the spring breeze.

Comparing the two, it is self-evident which one is important to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could ignore the fact that the Christian Brotherhood could accommodate all kinds of bandits and out-and-out soldiers under the banner of the Lithuanian National Resistance Army in the countryside, but it could not tolerate the Christian Brotherhood entering the big cities controlled by the Taiping Army!

As for the little thing that the white civilians who had voted for the Taiping in the Lithuanian countryside were poisoned by the Christian Brotherhood, no one cared.
