The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

According to the old man's estimate, Emperor Ferdinand was at his peak in spring and autumn, and it would not be a problem to live another 30 to [-] years. By then, he himself would have been turned into a handful of loess, and those young people would have become old people and would stop making trouble.

There would be no war without rebellion, and the Habsburgs were indeed the most benevolent masters that ever existed in this land.

"I want you to attend when I come to the throne, not as a serf, but as a free man."

"This is so beautiful. This grand duke can handle things so skillfully at such a young age. He will definitely be a great emperor in the future. Maybe the life of serfs will be easier by then. It's a pity that I may not be able to see it. .”

The old serf sighed secretly, and the young people on the side were very excited and felt that their descendants should have the opportunity to get rid of their status as serfs.

The civil servants who followed Franz breathed a sigh of relief, they were too afraid of the young man's temper.

The soldiers didn't react too much, obedience is their bounden duty, and Franz may have promised that he would invite some free people to the ceremony when he ascended the throne.

"Now I announce that all the serfs who died in the uprising this time can be compensated, according to the standards of imperial soldiers."

This sentence is like a thunderbolt. You must know that the pension of the Austrian Empire at this time is twice as high as before.

Three hundred florins may not be a big number for the residents of Vienna, but for the serfs, it is a six-year income for strong labor.

Franz's statement made the serfs very excited, because with this money they could redeem themselves.

Some people here must have a question, that is, can these serfs not even save their wages for six years?The answer is that I really can’t save money. Not only can I not save money, but I have to borrow money from the landlord from time to time to make ends meet.

Serfdom can last for thousands of years, so there is naturally a way to control the rising space of serfs, otherwise who will work.

This is tantamount to liberating the serfs in a disguised form, but no one would dare to raise any objections if they paid the money and delivered the goods.

It's just that there were more than 3000 nobles who died this time, and there were at least tens of thousands of serfs, which required a pension of tens of millions of florins.

Such a huge amount of money was difficult to collect for a while, and it was unknown whether these serfs would accept the expected banknotes.

While the entourage and the serfs were thinking wildly, Franz threw out another more important news.

"The Austrian Empire will dispossess all traitors."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, to everyone present, even Albrecht, a royal family who didn't care about politics.

Confiscation and extermination of traitors' homes and families is common in the East, but it was not the case in the Austrian Empire in the [-]th century. Generally speaking, the aristocrats were not sentenced to death for treason, but were exiled. It will be dusty.

There is the death penalty for nobles, but it is very rare. Even in 1848 in history, most of the rebel nobles were lynched by the people instead of being sanctioned by the imperial government. The number of people sentenced was very small, but those who died under the imperial sanction There are fewer nobles.

In a rebellion of such a scale in Hungary in 1848, less than a hundred people were executed, including few nobles.

Afterwards, Franz could not confiscate the property of these people for treason, but in the name of confiscating the property of foreign hostile forces, and at the same time, the Galician serfs and local officials needed to conspire.

Mia Artius sighed that "Archduke Franz still took that step." Her thoughts can represent the thoughts of most of the entourage at this time.

Because Franz's behavior was a little too radical, the news might blow the pot back to Vienna.But in fact he has more radical measures
Franz then gave a speech.

The general content of the speech is as follows:

He affirmed the achievements of the Galicians and at the same time denounced the inhumane behavior of the local nobles.

Then put forward some hopes for the future, and finally conduct a commendation meeting and a criticism meeting.

In order to promote something new, criticizing old things is the most effective way, but Franz will not let it expand.

Therefore, when criticizing the assembly, it is only those evil rebel nobles who criticize, not the aristocratic system itself.

The Polish nobles have always been good at being inappropriate, otherwise they wouldn't be beaten like this by their own serfs.

This kind of criticism meeting was very effective, and even heard that other ethnic groups in Franz's team wanted to go up and punch him twice.

The hands of Ms. Mia and the other clerks who were in charge of the records were trembling, because once these contents were released, it would cause a great uproar.

The content in it can no longer be described as appalling, it is simply shocking, and some of the behaviors have exceeded ordinary people's imagination and understanding.

But the serfs talked more and more vigorously, and there was a lot of embellishment in it, but those soldiers and Franz's accompanying officials didn't know it, and they had no doubts about what these poor people were crying about.

The wrath of the serfs, the cry of the rebel nobles in the fire, there is no deeper education than this.The views of good and evil of the vast majority of them are fixed at this moment.

In fact, this is the education of future generations. It is not only for the lower class people to see, but also to make the people around Franz firm in their beliefs, whether to serve the country as a person or to be a beast slaughter.

As for the dross of serfdom, Franz didn't want to keep it. He directly burned the serf contracts of the nobles who participated in the rebellion in Vienna, the so-called final backup, and the bodies of those nobles.

At this time, the rebellious nobles finally panicked. At this time, they were no longer proud of being the Polish Restoration Army. Instead, they began to say that they were Austrians and loyal servants of the Habsburg family.

Some people even took out a flag of the Principality of Austria with them, but they felt an indescribable weirdness. Seeing the flag, the executioner hesitated, so they didn't dare to burn it.

Franz: "Mr. Iga Skrowski, right?"

"Yes! I have always been a loyal supporter of the Austrian Empire, and you see I still carry the flag with me."

In fact, the flag of the Austrian Empire is black and gold, and the red, white and red in his hand is the flag of the Principality of Austria. Naturally, Franz would not believe such nonsense.

"Can you show me your flag?"

Iga Skrowski hurriedly handed it to Colonel Bordeaux, who then handed it to Franz.

With a click, the flag was torn apart, and the flag of the Principality of Austria instantly turned into a Polish flag (white and red), and the sense of weirdness disappeared.

"This" Iga Skrowski was a little at a loss.

At this moment Franz laughed.

"It seems that you not only betrayed the Austrian Empire, but also the Polish Federation or the Kingdom of Poland."

In astonishment, Iga Skrowski was pushed into the fire pit by Colonel Bordeaux.

"The noisy fellow is finally finished."

The specific content of the speech is not written, so as not to be sprayed with water all day long. In addition, I want to say that whether the speech is fake or empty, or true, kind and beautiful, it requires energy and brain power.
