Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 36 Rebellion and Negotiation

When the capitalists wanted to withdraw, it was already late, and Franz had returned to Vienna with the army.

"Albrecht, it's up to you next!"

Franz still has self-knowledge. If you make a strategy or something, this is okay. If you command troops to fight, you wo n’t know this.

It is estimated that with more than two months of experience in leading troops, I am afraid that I have not been able to command this army. For safety reasons, Franz decisively chose to let Albrecht go.

In any event, Albrecht was also a famous Austrian general, and he got down in Italy with fewer victories and more efforts in the Puerta War, defending the face of the Austrian powers.

Albrecht smiled slightly and said confidently: "Relax, Franz! It's just a group of people, it's not difficult to beat them!"

Franz nodded. He had done so much preparation work. The intelligence organization also mixed in the rebel forces ahead of time to create internal conflicts for the enemy. If they could not win, the City Defense Army could be disbanded.

Military matters were given to Albrecht, and political issues could only be played by Franz himself. Others could not afford this responsibility.

"With the third regiment as the vanguard, launch an offensive!"

With Albrecht's order, a prelude to suppressing the rebellion began.

Vienna at this time is described in one word, that is-chaos!

The large and small rebels are not fighting each other. When the city defense troops have fought over, many of the rebels did not know that the enemy had fought.

At this time, they were really busy with robbery. At the beginning, everyone just started fighting against nobles and capitalists, and even ordinary citizens are not spared by now.

Either out of jealousy or out of interest, military discipline is gone, even the commander has no way to restrain the troops.

When human beings are inspired by long-suppressed beasts, then everything will be different, and the destructive power that erupts at this time is often amazing.

Due to the lack of strict organization, there is no binding force between each other. After the rogue gangsters joined, they were soon taken out and became indiscriminate.

The citizens of Vienna who had sympathized with the revolution had only regrets at this time. Not only did they not be spared, even the University of Vienna, known as the cradle of revolutionary thought.

In order to avoid harassment by the rebels, the school had to organize student troops to maintain the campus, as for the revolutionary cause?

The number of conservative students is much higher than that of the Revolutionary Party.Seeing the tragic phenomena outside, at this time everyone remembered the Paris Revolution of 1789, and more than 30,000 people in Paris alone were sent to the guillotine.

Before this, everyone thought it was a lie fabricated by the government. When the Vienna Revolution broke out, everyone finally understood that the revolution needed bloodshed.

… (Ten thousand words are omitted, the dark side is overwritten, and it is easy to step on the line)

At this time, Franz, who was still preparing for the aftermath, did not know what kind of devil he had released and what kind of harm it had caused to Vienna.

Of course, even if he knew that he would still make the same choice, the Austrian empire had rotted away, and if it didn't break up, it would slowly die.

Without this rebellion, it would take at least ten years to abolish serfdom, and even face the nobles' counterattacks at all times. It is more likely that it will evolve into an incomplete reform in Russian history.

But now it's different. The Vienna Revolution is just the beginning. The local revolution will still roll in. For the safety of life and property, they can only recognize it by holding their noses.

Like Lombardy, Venice, Hungary, Franz has waited for their rebellion.As soon as the rebellion happened, he came to fight the local tyrants once and settle the problem once and for all.

Including the nobles and capitalists involved in the Vienna rebellion, he was not prepared to let it go, and did not copy their homes. Where did Franz get the money to build the country?

Does Austria really have no money?This question is simply a fallacy.

From the establishment of the Vienna system until 1848, Austria ’s economic development in the past three decades has been very good overall, and the total economic volume has doubled.

In this context, the wealth created by society is naturally indispensable. Unfortunately, the dividends of economic development have nothing to do with ordinary people, and the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people.

As a member of the vested interest class, Franz obviously cannot aggressively strike them, but it is still possible to eliminate some of the traitors while taking advantage of the revolution.

Vienna Hofburg Palace

Since receiving the conditions for the bourgeois negotiations, the Grand Duke collectively breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, it is still important to save lives, in case the rebels come in.

They are all used to being pampered, and they haven't had enough life, so they don't want to go to the guillotine.

Ferdinand I could not be the principal. Prime Minister Metternich knew that he was in trouble and ran away ahead of time. The Count of Kolovt now had nowhere to go. The members of the Regency Committee here were Grand Duke Louis and Grand Duke Franz-Karl.

Undoubtedly, all the burden is now on Grand Duke Louise, Grand Duke Franz-Carle can't count on it.

Grand Duke Louis said palely: "The capitalists have put forward the conditions, as long as we agree to the removal of the cabinet, the implementation of constitutional government, the opening of popular elections, the abolition of serfdom, and the confiscation of noble land for farmers ...

They will help us suppress the rebellion, and even the Constitution has been drafted, this is a template everyone can take a look!"

He did not dare to agree to these conditions. If all of them were agreed, then the capitalists would not rebel, but the nobles would rebel collectively.

Not to mention that Austria, resting in any country in the world, unjustly confiscated the land of the aristocratic class and distributed it to the peasants, will others also rise up and rebel?

The Austrian army is all in the hands of the nobles. These large nobles have a large area of ​​land. The serfs have been released. Fortunately, those who have not released the serfs should be confiscated.

Does this make the nobles alive?

Confiscated the land, how will they mix in the future?

Go all capitalists?

This is clearly to carry out capitalization reform of the nobility, and even use the first-hand advantage to turn the nobility into a very poor class.

In addition to economic benefits, political reforms have not been negotiated. The constitution established by the bourgeoisie is not as good as the political rights of ordinary people.

There are no rights, no participation in the military, no politics, no membership, these conditions are simply nonsense.

Of course, this is negotiating, asking for money to pay back, and the initial quotation is just for temptation.Even so, it makes everyone become enemies.
