After Zhang Juzheng talked with Hong Tiancheng for a day, he walked out of Hong Tiancheng's palace with great satisfaction, and the next day, a holy oracle came out from the temporarily rebuilt Heavenly King's Mansion in Vilno City, promoting Zhang Juzheng to the prime minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, with the right to supervise all civil officials in the Heavenly Kingdom, and the duty is to control all the 'common people' in the occupied areas of the Heavenly Kingdom, and has the right to dispatch local security forces, including the 3,000-meter Swedish town militia!

At the same time, Jinyiwei and the local Taiping army have the obligation to assist Zhang Juzheng in exercising the laws of the Heavenly Kingdom, so to speak, Zhang Juzheng can extend his tentacles to almost any corner of the Heavenly Kingdom, comparable to the top steward of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After the capture of the city of Vilno, the Taiping army's large-scale military operations turned into local consolidation and purging, and although the Lithuanian region was full of rebel soldiers, in front of the elite of the professional Taiping army, it was nothing more than an uncountable rabble.

The Lithuanian elite who had combat effectiveness in the formation were either lost in the first two decisive battles, or the Lithuanian nobles who followed their allegiance became a part of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and continued to enjoy their superior life, and only a very small number of elite soldiers or knights who were desperate and had a deep hatred for the Taiping Army participated in the surging anti-heavenly wave in Lithuania, and these people easily became the backbone of the Lithuanian national resistance army.

This is also the only place where the local resistance army of the Lithuanian nation is stronger than the bandits, led by a group of elite soldiers of the regular army with war experience, it is better than letting the mud-legged people who take up arms go directly into battle, and these knights and elite regular army soldiers with a certain military quality can also conduct military training for the militia who take up arms in non-combat intervals.

As for how far you can train, it can only depend on whether God and his old man give face......

Even veterans of the militia who have experienced a lot of battles are not enough to look at in front of the elite musketeers of the Taiping army, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to let a group of farmers who have never killed anyone form an army that can really pose a threat to the Taiping army.

As the spiritual leader of the Lithuanian regional national rebellion, Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir still had this in his heart, so he did not waste time staying in the seemingly safe area of Lithuania and hiding, but fled to the Russian Empire with a few loyal guardian knights to ask for reinforcements.

The reason why Archduke Janusz Rajvir chose the Russian Empire over the Kingdom of Sweden is mainly because of the actual ruler of the Kingdom of Sweden today, that sister lover Carl Gustav is too ambitious and has a somewhat unstable temperament (an uncle who only likes his own sister is not normal to look at...... ）。

If Archduke Janusz Rajvir still had the backing of the former Lithuanian elite, he would naturally be sure to make a fair deal with the Kingdom of Sweden, but now Archduke Janusz Rajvir is very clear that he is getting closer to the 'Commander of the Light Pole', he has also fought against the Swedish army under the leadership of the King of Poland, and he is very worried that he will be sent to heaven by an 'inexplicable' accident as soon as he enters the territory of the Kingdom of Sweden......

Killing a person of great prestige like Janusz Rajvir would have a very bad impact on his reputation if he was killed without any reason, except, of course, for someone like Hong Tiancheng who was running a bug in the Total War system......

Therefore, the best way to get rid of Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir is to create all sorts of hidden accidents, and the enemies of Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir do not need to deceive the ruling classes of various countries with a large number of ears, but only the Lithuanian people.

This is one of the reasons why Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir did not want to go to Krakow, the capital of Poland and Lithuania, as is often the case in modern Europe when a powerful country annexes a weak country.

Entering the country as liberators, and then supporting a populous people in the country to become independent in their original habitats, the invaders would have the heartfelt support of a large number of local civilians who did not know the truth, and at the same time would be recognized by the local nobility, after all, the beneficiaries of independence were also part of the local nobility.

This method is simple and easy to use, and in modern times, it has almost become an indispensable 'medicine' for foreign interference in the internal affairs of other countries until the 21st century.

Of course, it is impossible for the invaders to serve for free, and when the identity of the liberator is confirmed and the region is successfully separated from the invaded country, the invader becomes a protector as a matter of course, and after a few years, as long as the invader remains strong, the protector will sooner or later become one of the invaders' 'member states', and eventually even a province!

This relatively moderate and co-optive method can effectively reduce the resistance of the local people and reduce the cost of war, which is naturally more sought after by those in power than the traditional simple and crude occupation method.

Later, the European continent simply invented an artifact called 'national self-determination', and became the only magic weapon for cutting off the defeated powers in World War I and World War II, so that those great empires that had been glorious for hundreds of years were shattered into a scum, and there was no day to turn over, because this is the decision of the people living in the local area, and once there are signs of reintegration, the citizens of those small countries that have split out will be the first to stand up against it!

It's human nature to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail, and sometimes, freedom is more appealing than bread!

However, freedom is easier to fool the common people than bread, because freedom only needs to shout slogans, and it is completely possible to send the common people to the battlefield with empty words, but bread requires a cost.

As a result, as the spiritual thinking of the ruling class continues to approach, freedom has become a good way to fool the common people, as long as you want to provoke trouble, it is right to shout for freedom......

Because the majority of the ruled are never free, and if everyone is free, how can the ruling class exploit the majority of people to support themselves and live a luxurious life?

Therefore, freedom is always the side that is needed, and there is a vast market in any country!

Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir actually used the allure of freedom to encourage the Lithuanians, but he succeeded in misinterpreting the meaning of freedom in front of a group of illiterate mud legs, and the meaning of freedom was raised by him to the level of the nation, being ruled by the Lithuanian aristocracy was freedom, being ruled by foreign races was oppression, and combined with the tyranny of the Taiping army, everything became reasonable......

In mid-1650, during a vigorous 'sweep' by the Taiping army in Lithuania, Grand Duke Janusz Rajvir entered the territory of the Russian Empire with hundreds of his cronies.
