Colonel Bogun looked at the depressed streets of Zhytomyr and was full of 'bad reviews' about the way the Taiping army governed the city.

"Sure enough, it is a group of nouveau riche who were born as bandits, and after entering the big city, it is estimated that they will loot all the shops in the city, and the Taiping Army's unpopular practice will end sooner or later!"

Although Colonel Bogun was full of contempt for the Taiping Army, his expression was very enthusiastic, and he laughed with the Taiping Army officers who led the way from time to time.

When Colonel Bogun rode to Zhytomyr on a fast horse, he was only briefly questioned, and after revealing his identity as a Ukrainian Cossack rebel, he was immediately released, and there was a special welcome Taiping Army Guards Battalion Two Sima came to pick him up to meet Hong Tiancheng, as if Hong Tiancheng had expected the city of Kiev to ask him for help......

Of course, Colonel Bogon knew in his heart that it was not difficult to guess this, as long as the head of the war situation in this region knew that Khmelnytsky in Kiev and the Taiping army in Zhytomyr had a common enemy, and if they cooperated, they would benefit both, and sooner or later they would be crushed by the powerful Polish-Lithuanian kingdom.

The forces mobilized by the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania are on the bright side, and the huge gap in strength cannot be made up by relying on courage alone, not to mention that the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is a first-class power in Eastern Europe, supported by the gross domestic product of the entire country, and is very rich in weapons and equipment.

On the other hand, the Taiping Army and the Khmelnitsky Cossack troops in Kiev City, the majority of the sources of weapons and ammunition still come from war captures, not to mention the Taiping Army, which does not even have a production base of its own, and there is only a simple blacksmith shop in Zhytomyr City that makes cold weapons and lead bullets, and there is no gun arsenal at all, let alone an artillery factory......

Kyiv, as a capital-level city, is in a much stronger situation than Zhytomyr, there is a gunner's workshop inside, and a gunpowder production workshop, and the replenishment of musket ammunition is theoretically fine, provided that Khmelnitsky can get enough raw materials!

Obviously, it was impossible for the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom to give Khmelnitsky access to a large number of raw materials for the manufacture of guns and ammunition, not to mention artillery, and so far Khmelnitsky's men have not built a single artillery......

Regardless of the logistics of the war or the superiority of troops, the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania can crush Khmelnytsky and the Taiping Army, and naturally, whether the two sides are for a common goal or to continue to survive, union is an inevitable trend!

It was because of this that Colonel Bogun took the initiative to come to Hong Tiancheng to make an alliance, and the only disadvantage for Colonel Bogun was that the first to be attacked at this time was Khmelnitsky's Cossack rebels, not the Taiping army, and Hong Tiancheng was able to take advantage of the negotiations in this regard and ask for a lot of benefits.

But then again, as long as it can be said that Hong Tiancheng can lead the main force to unite to attack the main force of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, unless Hong Tiancheng wants the city of Kiev, most of the other conditions Cossack rebels can still come down.

Colonel Bogon, who was following the two horses of the Guards Battalion towards the fortress of Zhytomyr, suddenly found a lively shop on the depressed street, and the sight of poorly dressed Polish civilians lining up to receive daily necessities from the stalls garrisoned by the Ottoman light shields could not help but make Colonel Bogun feel very fresh.

"What are they doing here? Do you Taiping Army just provide food to the civilians of Zhytomyr City for free? ”

The two horses of the guard battalion replied with righteousness and awe: "That's natural, our general has a benevolent heart, and he led the troops to revolt so that the poor people in the whole world can have clothes, clothes, food and food!" ”

Colonel Bogong glanced at the other party with a slightly surprised face, and after finding that the other party's face was full of religious fanaticism and did not look like a fake, his perception of the Taiping Army eased a lot.

However, when the two turned into the next street, Colonel Bogon's mentality reversed again......

Because Colonel Bogun saw several Polish soldiers with red turbans on their heads, and sword and shield soldiers in Turkish top hats walking out of a house carrying large bags and small bags laughing, and the Polish citizens inside cried and came out saying that they were their personal belongings......

This kind of blatant robbery on the street, other Polish citizens are accustomed to ignoring it, many timid people still subconsciously stay away from this neighborhood, for fear of getting into trouble, and those few Polish soldiers in red turbans who robbed property, nodded and flattered a few words in front of the Turkish high-hat sword and shield soldiers, turned to the Polish citizens who cried and shouted, and punched and kicked, until the other party's cry turned into a painful whimper, and no longer screamed before letting go!

Colonel Bogon was stunned to see this scene of public robbery and beating, you know, he was walking on the main road of Zhytomyr, which is the most crowded place, and theoretically should be the most secure area, the result is ...... But such a hateful scene happened!

"What mistake did that citizen make? Why did the soldiers rob him of his belongings, and shouldn't his personal property be protected? We, the Cossacks, opposed the rule of the Poles because the Poles did nothing all day, but wanted to take away a large part of our hard-earned gains! ”

After hearing this, the smile on the face of the pro-guard battalion suddenly disappeared, and he said perfunctorily with a lack of interest: "Those soldiers are just implementing the holy treasury system of our Taiping Army, our Taiping Army adheres to the public disposal of all property, everyone must be treated equally, this Polish citizen has privately possessed 'violated' property, naturally it will be confiscated, and he openly disobeys and disrupts public order with nonsense, and he should be beaten, fortunately, this Polish citizen did not resist with weapons, otherwise it would be the end of the death of the clan!" ”

Colonel Bogong looked at the two Sima's indifferent expressions in disbelief, and couldn't help but blurt out, "This ...... Is there still a royal law here? ”

"Hehe, Colonel Bogon, please pay attention to your words, in Zhytomyr City, any action of the Taiping army is in accordance with the royal law, and the formulator of the royal law is naturally our Heavenly Father God Son General!" The two horses of the guard camp replied with a sneer.

Colonel Bogun looked at the Polish citizen who was beaten and couldn't get up in front of his house, sighed helplessly, and didn't say anything more.

He knew that he was on the side of asking for help this time, and if he annoyed the general of the Taiping Army, Hong Tiancheng, because of the 'injustice' of an ordinary Polish citizen, he would be called a fool!

After all, Colonel Bogun had to think about a way out for his army first, not a strange low-level citizen.
