The countries of the European continent were interpenetrating, and when the German states of the Holy Roman Empire began to build the bayonet on a large scale, soon the Kingdom of France, the people of Great Britain, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Swedes, the Danish Norwegians, the countries of the Italian peninsula, and even the Ottoman Turkish Empire acquired the technology of the bayonet through the black market......

Compared with the large primitive grenades that needed to be thrown at close range, the European countries and the Ottoman Turkish Empire were obviously more interested in the bayonet with a combination of musket and spear, and imitated the bayonet with their own national characteristics.

With the creation of a large number of bayonets, pikemen in continental Europe gradually withdrew from active field forces, and were even dismissed or converted to musketeers.

And the musketeers, who originally only needed to shoot from a distance, were also added to the training of melee hand-to-hand combat, war is the best catalyst for national technological reform, under the strong rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the European countries even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they must carry out comprehensive reforms!

The closer the European countries were to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the more enthusiastic they were about this kind of reform, because no matter how much money they spent, it was a hundred times stronger than the dead country!

The wave of reforms set off by the whole continent, including the Ottoman Turkish Empire, ushered in a feast for usury Jewish merchants in Europe, and many nobles and even royal families who threw their wealth into the construction of the army had to use taxes to mortgage their debts in exchange for cash and supplies.

The reform of the line infantry era that spread throughout Europe did not affect the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army faced by the Taiping Army had no money to carry out a comprehensive redress, and it was good to have a decent cold weapon......

Of course, the Taiping army easily broke through the defense line of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army, and the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army, which was mainly composed of mobs and farmers, could not even withstand a round of close-range salvo from the Taiping Army on the battlefield......

Many skirmishes were fought, and the Taiping army showed a price of zero casualties, for the simple reason that the soldiers of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army did not have muskets......

The 'stubborn' resistance of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army was of no use other than the constant piling of the corpses of its own people.

After Warsaw was taken by the Taiping army at the cost of less than 100 casualties, Marshal Stefan finally gave up his good hope of blocking the Taiping army head-on, and officially switched to unlimited guerrilla warfare!

As a result, the Taiping army swept away the leaves in the autumn wind, like an armed march, and quickly recovered the entire Polish region, but on the contrary, the enemy in front of the Taiping army was always vulnerable, and even women and children could be placed on the front line to die......

But in the cities occupied by the Taiping army, the casualties of the Han Association army have risen geometrically!

At night, the sentinels on guard in the city were often beaten by large numbers of Polish civilians armed with cold weapons, and then killed, stripped of all their clothes, and lying naked in the streets, as if demonstrating to the white Han allies who worked for the Taipings.

As for the field, it is even more incredible, even the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army in the squad will often encounter attacks, and every time there will be several times or even more than ten times the number of armed personnel to attack!

In many towns with sparse garrisons, the Han Association army in them was even completely wiped out and re-hung under the banner of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army......

The entire logistics system of the Taiping army was in shambles, and it was unable to continue to launch a large-scale offensive against the Holy Roman Empire with no military strength.

When Hong Tiancheng learned of this situation, he immediately issued the most severe order to purge him.

It is also commonly known as the 'three lights' policy.

All the Poles established a register of joint guarantees, and the main force of the Taiping army was called back, scattered to various big cities to defend it, and wiped out all areas that did not obey the orders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Taiping army divided the Polish region into small settlements, and in the event of the killing of Han and Taiping soldiers in this settlement, the entire settlement of Poles would be arrested and forced to confess the location of the attackers.

It's okay if you fully cooperate, as long as there is something to hide or deceive, everyone will be buried with you.

Hong Tiancheng wants to use the murderous system of joint sitting to force those neutral Poles to act as his eyeliner, otherwise no one will want to live!

This act of the Taiping Army soon aroused a strong local will to resist, and soon, a full-scale civilian uprising broke out in a large city!

Then, the Taiping army spent seven full days to slaughter tens of thousands of Polish cities!

Since then, no major city has dared to launch a full-scale uprising, and every time the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army tries to stir up trouble, the locals will report it, and then the Taiping army will wipe it out.

Most Poles are afraid of death after all, under the bloody butcher's knife, the situation in Poland was quickly suppressed, Polish civilians became everyone in danger, and the Tibetan troops of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army, which was always betrayed by Polish traitors, were encircled and destroyed by the Taiping Army many times, which greatly consumed the strength of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army.

The Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army guerrillas, which had lost foreign aid, became smaller and smaller, and the Taiping Army suppressed it more and more vigorously, and in the end, even the cold weapons were all officially confiscated, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also specially stipulated the length of the scale of cold weapons such as knives, and strictly controlled the sharp weapons that hurt people.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom spent a whole year to suppress and encircle the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army, which at its peak numbered more than 100,000 people, and a year later, Stefan Charnetsky, the supreme leader of the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army, was betrayed by his own people in a jungle encirclement battle, allowing the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army to shoot into a hornet's nest......

Since then, the Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army has officially declared its annihilation, and the remaining Polish-Lithuanian Restoration Army soldiers no longer dare to raise their banners.

During the bloody suppression of Poland by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for more than a year, a military coup d'état broke out in the Kingdom of Sweden, and Jobs used his prestige in the Swedish army to successfully ascend to the throne of the Swedish king, and incited the Swedish people to hate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, closing the Swedish parliament and implementing a wartime dictatorship.

Interestingly, Jobs used war propaganda to stir up public opinion and staged a coup d'état, but after he ascended the throne, he did not launch a war against the Russian Empire, an ally of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and recover Finland as promised......

Naturally, Jobs' secret letter of peace talks soon fell into the hands of Hong Tiancheng.
