200 Find a good scapegoat
"Even if you don't lose Minsk in the face of those reckless people who don't get into trouble, what do you have to gain?
Now that only the city of Minsk is left in the large cities of Lithuania that has not been subdued by the Taipings, once you evacuate and Minsk falls, do you think that this uprising will still be considered a success? Toravsky sarcastically said.
The instructions given to him by the Russian Empire were to make sure that the Christian Brotherhood could delay the main force of the Taiping Army for as long as possible to suppress the rebellion, and it was best to let the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Christian Brotherhood consume more fresh troops, and each additional Taiping soldier killed could reduce the obstacles for the Russian Empire to advance into the Kiev region in the future.
As for whether the Christian Brotherhood would succeed, Toravsky never considered it, if the Christian Brotherhood, a low-level mud leg, could overthrow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, why did the elite of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom fail again and again?
Jobs looked at Toravsky with a smile and asked bluntly: "Do you think that our city in Minsk can withstand the siege of tens of thousands of elite forces of the Taiping Army?"
Or do you think that the strength of our Christian Brotherhood alone can overturn the ruling foundations of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? ”
Toravsky opened his mouth, rolled his eyes slightly, and swallowed the affirmative answer in his mouth, Jobs was not an ignorant mud leg, on the contrary, since his Polish army was defeated by the Taiping Army, Jobs, who escaped death, led the rout following him to travel all over the country.
There were many regular Polish troops scattered by the Taiping Army, but in the end, only Jobs returned to found a Christian Brotherhood and poked out a 'big bubble' in the hinterland of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which in itself has explained a lot.
In the face of such a person, and then fooling people with results that everyone can see, it is not to despise the other party's IQ, but to slap yourself in the face......
"Boss Jobs, relying on the city defense system of Minsk City, at least you still have the capital to confront the Taiping Army, once you leave a big city like Minsk, you will not only lose the source of supplies, but also lose the battlefield advantage of the defender, is it possible, do you still want to wrestle with the Taiping Army in the field?"
"Who said I had to fight against the main force of the Taiping Army? I know the inner workings of the Taiping Army better than the empire behind you, can you imagine how strong an elite army of men fighting to the last can burst out? ”
"Of course I do." Toravsky replied with his back on his back.
"Nope! You simply don't know! You haven't even seen the face of the Taiping soldiers, you and the empire behind you are just hearsay, and you don't even know in your hearts that the Taiping Army can really fight to the last man, perhaps, you just think that those rumors are just some lies made up by the defeated in order to make their faces look good, and it is also a norm to raise the strength of the opponent to clear the blame for their own defeat.
But! It is this rightful misconception that makes you and other Taiping Heavenly Kingdom opponents ignore their true strength! The behemoth of the Russian Empire has been defeated, and I, Jobs, have a thin background, and if I take a wrong step, I will die without a place to be buried!
In the past, I was just a small officer in the regular Polish army, and the Taiping army would not do much to kill me, but now I am the founder of the Christian Brotherhood that makes Hong Tiancheng angry, and once I am defeated, I will face the never-ending pursuit of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
I'm sure you've heard of the Jinyi Guards of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but I don't have the confidence to escape from them, and I don't think that your strength can really defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and defeat the Hong Tiancheng Heavenly King who was born with a miracle! Jobs said excitedly.
Immediately afterward, he seemed to sense that his mood swings were a little strong, and he took a sip of red wine to return to his previous calm and breezy appearance, and silently stared at Toravsky, who had his mouth half-open.
"Chief Jobs, I have no right to interfere in your military operations, but I can guarantee that if you lose the city of Minsk, you will lose all the support of the Russian Empire."
"Hehe, the Russian Empire is not your Toravsky alone, I can tell you clearly, I just quietly left with my elite cathar guard, the remaining tens of thousands of militia of the Christian Brotherhood will remain in Minsk, the elite I lead will become the fire of the Christian Brotherhood, I believe that in the future, the Russian Empire will one day think of me as a friend."
As long as you have strength, you can survive whether you have a city or not, and this is a troubled era full of heroes. ”
Jobs said indifferently.
"Once the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom falls, the countries of Eastern Europe will inevitably cease fighting, how will you and your cathars deal with themselves at that time? If you lose the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, your Christian Brotherhood will lose its reason to fight, and your soldiers are willing to obey your orders and fight against the Taiping Army, but it does not mean that they are the only ones who obey you. ”
"Oh, what a beautiful warning, I look forward to that day, Toravsky, it's not that I look down on the mighty Russian Empire, but I know the strength of the Taiping Army better than you, of course, if you can really kill Hong Tiancheng, without your help, I will dissolve the Christian Brotherhood on my own, and my brothers and I are not raising troops for the sake of Wang Tu's hegemony, but just for that unwillingness and revenge.
We are different from the empire behind you, we are fighting for hatred, and the Christian Brotherhood gathers this kind of people, with the way the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rules, as long as they exist for one day, the Christian Brotherhood will not be short of people, so I will keep the flame of the Christian Brotherhood as much as possible until the day Hong Tiancheng dies. ”
"Unreasonable!" Seeing that he could not convince Jobs, Toravsky dropped a sentence and turned away.
After Toravsky left, one of Jobs' henchmen asked, "Chief, will you just let him go?" ”
"The Russian Empire will soon become the target of attracting Hong Tiancheng's attention, we can't offend the Russian Empire, the unjust leader, now our strength is not enough to plug Hong Tiancheng's teeth, only when the Taiping Army and the surrounding countries really start a full-scale war, is it a good time for our Christian Brotherhood to carry forward."
"But where are we going to evacuate next?"
Jobs' eyes drifted to a corner in the north of the battle map, and a strange smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth: "In the next step, we naturally have to find a scapegoat to attract Hong Tiancheng's greed and get rid of the cannon fodder position standing on the front line of the Taiping Army." ”
