Chapter 38: regent

Time passed quickly, and by March 11, 1848, the rebels in Vienna had basically been wiped out, leaving the remaining small fish to the police.
This sudden rebellion is coming fast and fast, but the impact has just begun, and many parts of Austria have begun to become unstable.
Franz did not have the energy to pay attention to other regions. There are still nearly 40,000 prisoners in the hands of the rebel army. How to deal with these people is still a big problem.
It is obviously impossible to kill, and he is not a murderer, these people have no hatred with him.
It is not enough to let it go. Even if threatening never asks, they have also participated in the rebellion. If they don't deal with it, what will someone do in the future?
Fined?
If they have money, they will not do this killer sale.
It took less than two days from the beginning of the counterinsurgency to the end. These people were not die-hards. The real die-hards ran away long ago, and all those who stayed were abandoned.
At this time, Albrecht came over, there was bloodshot in his eyes, apparently he hadn't slept well these days.
"Albrecht, what about the troop casualties?" Franz asked with concern.
"Fortunately, there was not much warfare at this time. There were only 300 casualties!" Albrecht thought and said.
"That's all right, nothing is happening now, Albrecht, you go take a rest first!"
Hearing the news, Franz was relieved that more than 300 casualties were still within his acceptance range.
However, the casualties of the rebels were huge. More than 3,000 people were killed on the spot. The wounded among the captives were more than 5,000. All were lightly injured, and the seriously injured had become corpses.
According to preliminary estimates, tens of thousands of people were killed in the rebellion in less than a week, and most of them were revolutionized by the so-called Revolutionary Party.
The aristocratic residential area is now almost turning into a white ground, and the dead nobles that have been identified have exceeded three digits. It is estimated that this news will spread, and it is estimated that it will shock the entire European continent.
The matter at hand was almost dealt with. Franz knew that it was time to go to Hofburg, and Austria's power was waiting for him to receive it.
With such a big mess, not only is Prime Minister Metternich going to get out of the way, even the Regent Committee is not necessary to keep it.
By this time, all obstacles blocking Franz's regency had been cleared.
Both the aristocracy and the capitalists were hit hard this time, because the imperial power decline caused by Ferdinand I's failure to govern, will now return to the hands of the Habsburgs.
"Franz, you're back. This time you did well!"
Franz Franz-Karl, Franz's father, was speaking, and Franz was very skeptical that he could say such a proficient word.
But he soon understood that most of this was directed by his mother, Mrs. Sophie, to characterize the matter first.
"Father, are you all right? Suddenly we heard the news of the rebellion in Vienna. We rushed back overnight. God bless, we finally caught up!" Franz said excitedly.
Watching the performance of the father and the son, Archduke Louis was reticent, at this time it was too late to say anything.
In this incident, the failure of the Regent Committee to play its due role has already dissatisfied the Vienna court.
Including these Grand Duke, they have questioned the ability of the Regent's Committee, and all of them highly praised Franz who brought his troops back in time to rebel.
Of course, Archduke Albrecht, who commanded the counterinsurgency war, has been selectively ignored by them.
Just because Franz is his own and the crown prince of the empire, if the Habsburgs don't want their rights to fall by the wayside, supporting the Crown Prince's regency is the best choice at this time.
Someone is even planning to bring Ferdinand I to abdicate. With this rebellion, everyone was very afraid of the decline of the imperial power, for fear of another revolution.
Yes, the rebellion in their hearts is a manifestation of the decline of imperial power. If the monarch's majesty was still there, there would not be so many rebellions.
If Franz wishes, he can now plan for Ferdinand I to abdicate, but he has a face, and he cannot do anything to force his uncle to abdicate.
Moreover, Austria is now a gunpowder barrel. The Vienna rebellion just ignited the first Mars, followed by the Italian region rebellion, the Hungarian rebellion, the Dalmatian rebellion ...
Every rebellion is a blow to Ferdinand I. By then, the conservative aristocrats will definitely not stand it.
In history, Ferdinand I abdicated in this context. Successive rebellions scared Queen Anna, and the Habsburgs were also worried that their continued dominance in Austria would be shaken. Finally, they decided to let Fidel Dinant I abdicated.
No, it is to persuade Ferdinand I to abdicate. However, considering the actual situation, Franz thinks that this persuasion is no different from making a decision for him.
After saying hello to everyone, I entered the topic, the question of aftercare.
"It's hard for the Cabinet to blame for such a big thing. I recommend dismissing the Cabinet!" Duke Louis said beforehand
"agree!"
"agree!"
...
There is no doubt that Prime Minister Metternich was dismissed in the unanimous vote.
"The Rebellion in Vienna failed to fulfill its due responsibilities. I think it would be better to dissolve the Regency Committee." Franz Carl said openly.
Anyway, he didn't want to do it anymore. Since the establishment of the Regent's Committee, he hasn't really taken care of it. He just took this opportunity to disband him, so that he can be a happy rice bug.
"agree!"
"agree!"
...
Grand Duke Louis wanted to scold his mother. You are all blindly involved in what you have, except the Emperor, who has the power to dissolve the Regency Committee, which is the Regency Committee itself.
Unfortunately, at this time, two members of the Regent Committee were present, and one proposed to dissolve the Regent Committee. No matter whether the other Grand Duke had the right or not, everyone could make up the number.
Hesitated for a while, but in the end Archduke Louis said helplessly: "Agree!"
There is no way, this time his objection is invalid. Unless all members of the Regency Committee agree, there is no way to fight the Vienna court.
This is obviously impossible. Grand Prince Franz Carr has no interest in politics, and no matter what the reason, he must support his son Regent.
"I propose that after the dissolution of the Regency Committee, the Crown Prince Franz Joseph be regent!"
Seeing nothing can be done, Grandpa Louis naturally thought of a stop loss, and very simply proposed the Crown Prince's regency, indicating his position.
"agree!"
"agree!"
