Holy Roman Empire

In Austria in 1848, the revolution seemed to be the trend of this country, and it was not smooth everywhere.

A rebellion occurred in the Dalmatian region on March 28. Fortunately, before the Austrian government sent troops to suppress it, the locals suppressed the revolution on their own.

Looking at the information in his hands, Franz seemed to have a group of grass and mud horses running by. The self-defense force organized by the local government launched the rebellion this time. It was the local capitalists and serfs that helped the government suppress the revolution.

In other words, it was the nobles and nationalists who launched the rebellion, and the capitalists and serfs suppressed them.

This rebellion was mainly due to the dissatisfaction of the local aristocracy. The government had damaged their interests during the reform. Under the encouragement of the nationalists, the revolution was foolishly announced.

This kind of idiot is not uncommon in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and Franz has been surprised.

Every year, a few aristocrats drink too much wine in Austria, and they declare independence and found the country. When the wine wakes up, it immediately cancels its independence and runs over to ask the emperor for guilt.

Born in continental Europe, these stupid people are lucky, unless the serious consequences are caused, the emperor usually does not take them.

It was normal for the serf to help suppress the noble rebellion.The Vienna government announced the abolition of serfdom and gave them personal freedom. These nobles actually wanted to continue enslaving them.

Needless to say, it must be suppressed. This is to fight for freedom.

This group of nobles also armed the serfs to revolutionize, which is why Franz thinks they are stupid.

The only thing that surprised Franz was that the local capitalists actually stood with the Vienna government, and they also helped to suppress the rebellion, and it was still so rapid. It seemed like it was premeditated in advance.

Even Franz suspected that it might be that the nobles and the capitalists had agreed that everyone would rise up together to revolutionize. As a result, the capitalists could not do anything and sold them when they changed hands.

Dalmatia ’s presence in Austria is very low. It is an optional border province. Its economic backwardness and lack of strategic value are easily overlooked.

Looking at Franz's face, Prime Minister Felix gave the answer.

"His Royal Highness, this Dalmatian rebellion was brought about by noble officials of the local government. Under the banner of loyalty to the royal family, they wanted greater rights.

After the interests were lost, the bastards wanted to unite with Trieste to rebel together and prepare to build a nation together with the rebellion in the Italian region.

But they forgot that the National Self-Defense Forces in their hands were loyal to the empire. This rebellion was doomed from the beginning.

Moreover, their geographical location determines that they rely heavily on the empire economically, and will soon decline once they are independent.

The capitalists parted ways with them for their own benefit is an inevitable result."

Franz nodded thoughtfully. It is estimated that the greater chance is that the capitalists feel that the success rate of the rebellion is too low to obtain greater benefits, so they sell their comrades.

Why the nobles of Dalmatia are so stupid, Franz can only be attributed to the fact that there are too many rice buckets with little study and no learning skills.

"Then send someone to copy the house first, and at the same time reward the heroes who participated in the suppression of the rebellion, and immediately implement the abolition law.

The active capitalists were exempted from taxation this year, and some of the land was given out to the serfs involved in the suppression of the rebellion. The dead and injured should be given a pension to their families."

(The bill to abolish serfdom also takes time to implement, and it cannot be completed immediately, so the serfs have not all been liberated)

Franz is setting an example. No matter what their purpose or motivation is, this kind of behavior to help the Empire suppress the rebellion must be promoted.

In particular, the recognition of serfs must be publicized, and it is best to make everyone in Austria know it.

At this time, Franz had decided to release the land, and mobilized the workers and peasants to fight against the nobles and capitalists to see who would follow their rebellion.

"Your Highness, this is not good, just give the capitalists rewards. We have given them freedom to the gangs of serfs, there is no need to give the land anymore!"

At this time, Prime Minister Felix stood in his class position, he did not want this to happen.

This means that if the emperor obtains the weapons to overthrow the noble class, the monarch's rights will be further expanded, and the noble's political voice will be restricted.

"Prime Minister, this is not a matter of expediency. The rebellion in the Italian region has not yet been annihilated, and those couples want to take advantage of the fire.

Rebellion may erupt at any time in Prague, the Poles in Galicia are also on the move, and the ambitious Hungarians are preparing to further divide the country.

Now we need to unite all the forces that can be united, wipe out these chaotic parties, and naturally treat the heroes as a reward, so what is it to pay a little land for this?"

There is no doubt that Franz is confused.Anyway, as long as the current situation is used, the nobles have no reason to object.

If all the nobles did not participate in the rebellion, then Franz really did not break them.Now that some nobles have rebelled, then as the regent's crown prince, he has reason to doubt the nobility's loyalty.

In this context, he supported the serf who was about to obtain the status of free citizen, which was explained.

These people are illiterate, the concept of right and wrong is very simple, either black or white.

Just give them land and let them eat.Then in the coming decades, these people will be the most loyal subjects of Franz, and even their descendants will be supporters of the Habsburg family.

Any ruler needs to support the foundation of their rule.At present, the foundation of the Austrian Empire is the nobility, which will not change for a long time. Franz just added a peasant behind the nobility.

These issues are only for politicians to consider. Most nobles will not think so far, even if they say it, no one will believe it.

After hesitating, Prime Minister Felix chose to give in.

Unlike in history, his prime minister is appointed by Franz, and his voice in the government is not so high.If you want to use the right to fight against the monarchy as in history, do not dream.

Seeing the Prime Minister's acquiescence, Franz will naturally not be more aggressive.It's enough to achieve the goal. It's not easy for people to help me every day. It's better to be respectful.

Then the Austrian version of "Battering the Tyrants to Divide the Fields" began. It was wrong to "suppress the rebellion to divide the fields". Those who did not participate in the rebellion naturally need not worry about being divided into fields.
