The Black Rus region is the name of the Lithuanians, originally belonging to the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and it is also the land that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was incorporated when it was first established, and its status is second only to the Vilno region, which was once the core of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Of course, it is now the territory of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, but the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was peacefully incorporated into the Kingdom of Poland, so the Lithuanians retained a large part of their autonomy, and the local lordship rights of the Lithuanian nobility were not weakened much.

The merger of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland was the last victory of Catholic Christianity in Europe in the last two centuries, and since then the apparent polytheism has been completely eradicated in continental Europe, and all the 'great powers' that can be called Christianity have adopted Christianity as their faith, even the deviant Russians, who believe in the sister religion of Christianity, the Orthodox Church.

The biggest reason why Lithuanians gave up their original polytheistic beliefs and converted to proselytism was very simple, they were beaten by the Teutonic Knights......

The Teutonic Knights, as the best of the three major knights left over from the Crusades, like to do the most is to expand the territory in the name of religious wars, most of the Christian converts in Eastern European countries were defeated by the Teutonic Knights, of course, the Teutonic Knights also expanded from a chaotic knightly organization to a real knightly power, and established a military-dominated knightly empire with the situation of knightly class military management.

The Archduchy of Lithuania, the strongest and largest at that time, was defeated in a long war with the Teutonic Knights, and a large amount of land was swallowed, and the Lithuanians had to convert to Christianity and merge with the Kingdom of Poland in order not to be destroyed.

After the merger of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland, the Teutonic Knights continued to provoke and create incidents in an attempt to completely annex the rich Lithuanian region, but were beaten by the Poles and the Russians, and finally even the Swedes joined in, and the outcome is self-evident......

After nearly a hundred years of scuffle, the Teutonic Knights not only failed to annex Lithuania, but spit out all the land they had swallowed before, and the once glorious Teutonic Knights were almost divided and destroyed by the multi-party coalition, and finally even the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights were killed in a decisive battle, and the remnants of the Teutonic Knights were forced to ban their own name and become the so-called Prussia.

This is the origin of the predecessor of the famous Brandenburg Prussia in later generations, after the last legacy of the Teutonic Knights was inherited by the Grand Duke of Brandenburg, it was not carried forward, but became the little brother of the hundred family surnames, the Poles were called the big brother of the Poles, and the strong Habsburg family became the little brother of the Shinlo......

However, the Polish eldest brother was not friendly to the Brandenburg family of Prussia, in addition to bullying and oppression, which also laid the historical grudge foreshadowing for the later partition of Poland by Prussia.

In other words, the Poles deserve to be carved up in history, who bullied the weak everywhere when the Poles were strong, cut the flesh from the neighbors with a fist and a right kick to force others to pay tribute to themselves, and after the rise of the younger brothers, they naturally wanted to return the new hatred and old hatred together!

The three major empires that eventually destroyed and partitioned Poland - the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire, and the Habsburg Dynasty of Austria were all beaten by the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and it can be said that the partition of Poland was completely a war of revenge, and there was nothing wrong with morality......

It's a pity that Hong Tiancheng carried a full-scale war system from the sky, so that the life of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom came to an end a hundred years earlier, the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom in the Battle of Kiev was defeated like a lost dog, and the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom in the First Battle of Mozili was even more lost, and even caused a military vacuum in the entire Polesye region, so that Hong Tiancheng almost undamaged to pick up a big bargain.

It wasn't until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom digested Polesiye's brains and robbed a brain full of fat and raised enough materials for a long expedition of tens of thousands of troops again, that the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania organized a decent counteroffensive and recovered Lutsk and Zhytomyr, which were under-manned by the Taiping Army, but the Polish army could only go so far for the time being.

They couldn't even go north to aid the Lithuanian nobles, so they could only rely on the scale of the march to scare Hong Tiancheng at the city of Kyiv, hoping to share the military pressure in the direction of Lithuania.

It's a pity that Hong Tiancheng's troops once again exceeded the imagination of the Poles, and casually set aside 2,000 elites to support Kyiv City, and then drove to the Black Rus region with tens of thousands of troops, and Polesiye also left 3,000 Swedish town militia and thousands of elite musketeers of the Taiping Army to guard it.

Not even the slightest chance was left for the Polish troops entrenched near Zhytomyr!

Fortunately, the communication ability of this era basically relied on the legs, and the aristocratic coalition in the Lithuanian direction did not know that the overall situation of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom had reached the level of annihilation.

The coalition of tens of thousands of Lithuanian nobles who stayed in Black Rus naively thought that they were just the main force that had endured the entire conquest of the crazy Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the territory in other directions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already faced the Polish army, and the loss of cities and lands was not far from the destruction of the country.

Of course, this is also the message that the Sulm Council of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom deliberately conveyed to the Lithuanian nobles, not to give these Lithuanian nobles who are greedy for life and fear of death some determination to resist, once they surrender without resistance, the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom will change its name!

Thanks to the cheating traffic of this era, the information obtained by foreign powers is similar to that of the Lithuanian nobles who were kept in the dark, and the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Crimean Khanate only roughly knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had won another great victory, extending the life of this new state, and they still knew nothing about the dilemma faced by the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania at this time.

If the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Crimean Khanate knew that the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania had begun to face the crisis of national extinction, I wonder how much of the mood of sitting and watching the drama would be left?
