Holy Roman Empire

"Three requests and three remarks" has no market in Europe, and does not even require three remarks, as long as it is rejected once, it will be beaten.

Now that the regency has been handed over, Franz will naturally not ask for trouble, and he has taken over the authority immediately and will not give Grand Duke Louis the opportunity to repent.

Immediately afterwards, Franz changed the subject.

"Everyone, the rebellion in Vienna has been suppressed, but I am afraid that there will be another chaos elsewhere in Austria. In order to avoid the collapse of the empire, we must take more active action!"

Everyone's face changed, and the good mood for the rest of the life ceased to exist. How terrible was the collapse of the empire?

As the great nobles of Austria, their interests are tied to this country, and once the empire collapses, everything they have will vanish.

"Franz, isn't it so bad?" Duke John asked with concern

"Yes, since the February Revolution in Paris, Europe as a whole has gone crazy, and revolutions are brewing in many areas, including Austria.

The bureaucrats of the empire have decayed. Just like the rebellion in Vienna, it could have been settled by the police, but in the end it has become a human tragedy. Tens of thousands of Austrian people have been killed, including hundreds of nobles!

At this time, if we cannot take more positive measures, the Orleans dynasty today is our tomorrow, and even worse!"Franz threatened

Can these scare them?Obviously it is impossible. Do n’t think that these princes are not capable, just think they are fooling, that is nonsense.

Franz put forward these innately by taking advantage of the fact that everyone has just experienced the Vienna Revolution. At this time, their mentality has not been restored, and it is inevitable that they will be pessimistic when looking at problems.

At this time, Franz exaggerated and used the inequality of information to give them an illusion that the Austrian people are dissatisfied with the current political system and the distribution of benefits. If they do not reform, they will be rebelled. Too.

"Franz, can you tell us something about the outside?" Duke Louise asked

Obviously, he was also stunned by the news brought by Franz. The people of Vienna alone are not afraid of rebellion. If the people in other places also follow the rebellion, it will be terrible.

After thinking about it, Franz said cautiously: "Well. After the February Revolution in Paris, the revolutionary parties in various European countries were encouraged, and major cities are undercurrent, everyone knows these news.

After the outbreak of the Vienna Revolution on March 7, the revolutionary spirit in Austria rose. Although we successfully suppressed the rebellion, the planners behind the scenes ran away.

What deserves our attention is the Vienna Revolution, not only the Revolutionary Party, but also the participation of capitalists, nobles, and city government officials.

If we look at it from the social stratum, including workers, farmers, citizens, middle class, bourgeoisie, and nobility, this coverage is too broad.

If it was n’t because it happened so suddenly and the internal conflicts of the chaotic party were serious, this Vienna Revolution will also succeed!"

Hearing this news, everyone was dumbfounded, and even nobles participated in the revolution, which means that the current Vienna government is losing its foundation.

Grand Duke John quickly asked: "Franz, are you sure that nobles participated in this rebellion? Is it a person, or ..."

Franz said with a bitter smile: "There are currently 83 nobles who have been confirmed to be involved in this rebellion, and the number of people who have not been investigated may be greater.

The reason for their participation in this rebellion is very simple, that is, they are dissatisfied with the government's inaction in the economic crisis, or that they did not allow them to make money when they are hoarding!"

"This bunch of bastards, don't you know what they are doing? If the empire is finished, they can still have a good life!" Duke Louis said angrily

Others also fought with their enemies one after another. This is smashing their own rice bowls. Without the Austrian Empire, can these nobles still have their current status?

...

Franz explained: "I'm afraid this problem has something to do with our system, so that they have no fear, even if they fail, we can't kill them all.

If successful, the new government can also become a member of the interest group by establishing them.As for the glory of the nobility, if they still care, they will not participate!"

Everyone was not talking anymore. At this time, everyone discovered that Franz's knife was estimated that the aristocratic class's interests would be damaged, and its own rights and interests were involved. No one was willing to give in.

The only one whose face did not change was Grand Duke Franz-Karl. It seemed that he was playing soy sauce from beginning to end. It seemed that these things had nothing to do with him. At this time, he spoke.

"Franz, what are you going to do?"

Everyone's face changed slightly, but they didn't say anything. Before they were sure about Franz's purpose, they didn't have to stand up and oppose it.

"Everyone who participates in this rebellion must be severely punished. The leaders of them are sent to the gallows, and others are sentenced according to the severity of the circumstances.

Abolish all the titles of nobles participating in the rebellion, confiscate all property, other specific disposal plans can be decided by the noble council!"

Franz made the decision immediately and he was not afraid that someone would object. This time, the Vienna rebellion killed a three-figure nobility. If the rebels were not severely punished, their relatives and friends would not agree.

For the nobility, the most serious punishment is not to kill the head, but to abolish the title and confiscate the land, which means that the glory of the family is completely lost.

Several Grand Duchess glanced at each other, or Grand Duke Louis said first: "Franz, this time it involves too much, can you retain the title?"

Franz shook his head and said: "If the handling is light this time, I am afraid that there will not be only these people in the next rebellion.

And those who died, how should we explain?According to our preliminary statistics, I am afraid that there are more than a dozen noble family ancestral temples!"

Everyone's face changed dramatically. "Absolute heir" is definitely the most terrible consequence. If aristocratic families are abolished because of this, then things have changed qualitatively.

During the Holy Roman Empire, when the emperor wanted to confiscate noble land, he would face collective opposition from everyone. Now it is different in Austria.

The domestic aristocracy was not so strong, there was no situation where several princes joined forces, and even the emperor was powerless, so Franz dared to play like this.

There will even be a part involved, as long as a member of the noble family participates in the rebellion, it will be followed by bad luck, because there is no way to make this kind of thing clear.

Of course, if you are smart enough, there is no way to escape the disaster. As long as you prove your worth before the liquidation is completed, Franz will be merciful.
