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

Chapter 749

However, it was difficult to defend against family thieves by day and night. Several slave laborers who had worked for Yasuski for decades attacked Vekhliu, causing his left hand to be injured.

Now Franz has brought 5000 people to the Yasuski Manor. If he has no idea about the territory and property of the Yasuski family, Vikhliu Yasuski will not believe it at all.

Thinking of this, his hands couldn't help shaking, and the tableware almost fell to the ground.

"This"

Vikhliu Yasuski subconsciously glanced at Colonel Bordeaux, and when he found that the other party was staring at him, he swallowed and said.

"I think they are a group of hopeless traitors who have completely failed the kindness of the Habsburg family. I am willing to contribute 20 florins to help the empire put down the rebellion!"

Vikhliu Jassuski scolded the Zionist Army and the rebellious nobles in his impassioned speech, and repeatedly drew a line between himself and them, and finally took out a share of military funds Prepare to express your resolve.

Franz had heard this kind of talk countless times along the way. Of course, some people had real thoughts, and some were just to clarify the relationship, but Vikhliu Yasuski was different.

A carrier pigeon fluttered away from Yasuski Manor at night, and Krakow had received a letter with almost the same content as early as three days before.

The letter contained detailed movements, personnel and weapon configurations of the Austrian army, and even logistical information.

Bem, who had just been released, was so surprised when he saw this information, because hundreds of heavy siege artillery can completely razed the entire city of Krakow to the ground.

The long-barreled 30-pound guns of the Polish Restoration Army could not solve any problems at all, and with the number of nearly [-] troops, Bem could not have any chance of winning.

The Zionist Army mobilized several times in Krakow, but there were more deserters than recruits.At this rate of development, the Polish army will run away in less than two months without the need for the Austrian army to do anything.

However, the letter from Vikhliu Yasuski brought a turning point, which is definitely good news for Krakow, Poland's last hope.

The Crown Prince of the Austrian Empire, Archduke Franz Joseph, was a guest at the Yasuski manor, and the distance between the two places could theoretically be reached within ten days if he marched quickly.

The status of Franz's crown prince was announced on his birthday, which was regarded as a birthday gift from the family to Franz.

No one in the family objected to this matter, and Queen Anna's influence was already negligible at this time.

Ferdinand I was very willing to leave the palace and go to the countryside to retire, because in the Hofburg Palace he was the emperor in name anyway, and he had to listen to the ministers arguing with each other whether he wanted to or not.

Also has to agree to a whole bunch of things that he doesn't know or understand at all, and being a puppet is boring, especially when there's no personal freedom.

And Archduke Franz Karl was forced by Mrs. Sophie to sign the abdication agreement. Although he was a little reluctant, no one wanted him to succeed, let alone help him, because the entire Austrian Empire was calling A monarch who works.

At this time, the international status of the Austrian Empire was very high, but most people felt that it could be higher.Officials, nobles, and the army all feel that the country is strong at this time, and it is time to make contributions.

Nationalists look forward to the clarion call of unity. Although there are gaps between various ethnic groups, the overall trend remains unchanged.

The church is one of Franz's fundamentals, and under the tireless praise of Archbishop Rauscher, the expectations of the people are directly fulfilled.

The advantage is that this will provide Franz with a very wide range of support. The disadvantage is that once it fails or makes people feel that it is not worthy of the name, there will be a huge psychological gap, which will intensify social conflicts.

Franz arrived at the Yasuski estate with 2000 cavalry, but had to withdraw [-] because of the large numbers.

So at this time there were only [-] cavalry around him for protection, Tisovsky and Dombovsky had a bold idea.

Tisovsky and Dembowski are the actual power holders in Krakow at this time, because Landry Promey disappeared mysteriously, so they can only be replaced by others temporarily.

Tisovsky and Dembowski were elected by everyone. I don't know how capable they are, but at least they can reunite the scattered Restorationists.

Tisovsky: "General Bem, can you lead an army to capture Franz Joseph alive?"

Dembowski: "It's okay to die. This will also damage the morale of the Austrians. At least everyone's blood will not be shed in vain. We can tell the world that Poland exists."

Tisovsky wanted to arrest Franz to negotiate terms, while Dembowski wanted to fight to the death.However, Bem was in a dilemma, because the distance between the two places was too far, and there were too many variables in ten days. This kind of military adventure was almost impossible to succeed.

Bem sighed: "Mr. Secretary of State, I don't think this plan is actually feasible."

This is too hurtful, after all, everyone released Bem in the hope that he would bring miracles.In the past few days, Bem has almost denied the feasibility of all the plans of the Polish Restoration.

In fact, this is also a kind of helplessness, because it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. At this time, Krakow is not enough to compete with the Austrian Empire in terms of military strength, weapons, and materials.

Tisovsky was a little annoyed: "General Bem, can you defeat the Austrians?"

"I can not."

"Then can you hold Krakow?"

"I'm not sure either."

"Then what are you thinking about?! We are desperate now, and there is still hope. The opponent only has 3000 people, and we have 3 people."

"Yes! Yes!"

"Fight!"

"Yes! Anyway, if you can't keep it, it's better to fight!"

Tisovsky's words immediately aroused a lot of response. To be honest, this feeling of waiting to die is the most uncomfortable. Nested in the city of Krakow, he may be crushed by the Austrian army that arrives at any time, but he is helpless .

At this time, they finally found a vent, and this only hope immediately aroused the remaining blood in everyone.

Bem never looked at people's faces, he only said what he knew.

"The troops around Franz Joseph must be the elite of the Austrian army, and it is impossible to judge combat strength by the number of people alone."

Tisovsky: "Do you think we Poles are not as good as the Germans? We can still lose if we fight one out of ten?"

"Yes! Mr. Tisovsky is right! We are fighting the elite!"

"What elite? The cavalry is strong in mobility. Do the Austrians dare to countercharge with one-tenth of their troops?"

"Even if cavalry dismounts, they are not as good as infantry!"

"Besides, Vikhliu Yasuski is a patriot. As long as he cooperates with us inside and outside, he will definitely be able to wipe out the Austrians. Then we will use that bullshit grand duke as a bargaining chip!"

"Correct!"

"send troops!"

"send troops!"

"send troops!"

The voices of the crowd quickly overwhelmed that of General Bem, who wanted to say, "It would be nice to have half of the troops left when we reach Dorobiqi."
