Chapter 39: First fire

There is no market for "three please three words" in Europe. You don't even need three words. You only need to refuse once and you will be beaten.
Now that the regent has arrived, Franz will naturally not ask for trouble by himself, and took over the authority immediately, not giving the chance to repent.
Immediately afterwards, Franz changed the subject.
"You, the rebellion in Vienna has been suppressed, but I am afraid that it will soon be chaotic elsewhere in Austria. To avoid the collapse of the empire, we must take more aggressive action!"
Everyone's face changed, and the good mood of the rest of the life after the disaster no longer exists. How terrible was the collapse of the empire?
As Austria's great aristocracy, their interests are tied to this country, and once the empire collapses, everything they have will vanish.
"Franz, isn't it so bad?" Asked Grand Duke John with concern.
"Yes, since the February Revolution in Paris, the whole of Europe has been crazy. Many regions, including Austria, are brewing revolutions.
The bureaucrats of the empire have decayed, just like the Vienna rebellion, which could have been settled by the police, but eventually caused a tragedy on the earth, and tens of thousands of Austrians were killed, including hundreds of nobles!
At this time, if we can't take more positive measures, today's Orleans dynasty is our tomorrow, and even worse! Franz threatened
Can these scare them? Obviously it is impossible. Don't think that these grandfathers are incompetent, just think that they are flickering, that is nonsense.
Franz proposed this innately, which is to take advantage of the fact that everyone has just experienced the Vienna Revolution. At this time, the mentality has not recovered, and it is inevitable to be pessimistic when looking at problems.
At this time, Franz exaggerated and used the inequality of information to create 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 rebel, or they have already rebelled. Already.
"Franz, can you tell us what's going on outside?" Asked Grand Duke Louis.
Obviously, he was also calmed by the news brought by Franz. The people in Vienna were not afraid of rebellion. If the people in other places followed the rebellion, it would be terrifying.
After thinking about it, Franz said cautiously: "Well. After the February Revolution in Paris, the revolutionary parties in all European countries were encouraged, and major cities are surging undercurrents. Everyone knows this.
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 vigilance is that not only the Revolutionary Party but also the officials of the capitalists, aristocracy, and the municipal government participated in the Vienna Revolution.
From the perspective of social strata, including workers, peasants, citizens, middle class, bourgeoisie, and aristocracy, this coverage is too broad.
If it was not because it happened too suddenly and the internal contradictions of the chaotic party were serious, the Vienna Revolution would also be a success! "
After hearing this news, everyone was dumbfounded that even nobles were involved in the revolution, which means that the current Vienna government is losing its foundation.
Duke John quickly asked: "Franz, are you sure that nobles are involved in this rebellion? Is it an individual or ..."
Franz said with a bitter smile: "There are 83 nobles currently confirmed to be involved in the rebellion, and the number that has not been identified may be even greater.
The reason for their participation in the rebellion is very simple, that is, they are dissatisfied with the government's inaction in the economic crisis, or that they have not been allowed to make money when they hoard. "
"Are these bastards, don't you know what you are doing? If the empire is finished, they can still have a good life!" Archduke Louis said angrily
Others have also clamored with their enemies. 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 issue has something to do with our system, so that they can be fearless. Even if it fails, we can't kill them all.
If it succeeds, the new government will also establish them as members of interest groups. As for the glory of the nobility, if they still care, they will not participate! "
The crowd was no longer talking. At this time, everyone found out that Franz's knife was expected to damage the interests of the aristocratic class, and related to their own rights, no one was willing to give in.
The only thing that didn't change his face was Grand Prix Franz Carr. It seemed that he was playing soy sauce from beginning to end, as if these things had nothing to do with him, at this time he spoke.
"Franz, what are you going to do?"
The people's faces changed slightly, but nothing was said. Before they were sure of Franz's purpose, they didn't have to stand up against it.
"People who participated in the rebellion must be severely punished. The leaders among them were sent to the gallows, and others were sentenced according to the severity of the plot.
Abolish all the titles of the nobles participating in the rebellion, confiscate all the property, and other specific disposal plans can be decided by the noble council! "
Franz stated his purpose immediately, and he was not afraid that someone would object. This time the Vienna rebellion was a three-figure nobleman. If the rebels were not punished severely, their relatives and friends would not agree.
For the aristocracy, the worst punishment was not the killing of the head, but the abolition of the confiscated land, which meant that the glory of the family was lost.
Several grandfathers looked at each other, or Grandpa Louis said first: "Franz, this time involves too much, can you retain the title?"
Franz shook his head and said, "If the handling is lighter this time, I am afraid that there will not be only so many people participating in the rebellion next time.
And those who died, how can 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 greatly. "Absolute extinction" was definitely the most terrible consequence. Some aristocratic families were extinct because of this, and then something qualitative changed.
During the Holy Roman Empire, if the emperor wanted to confiscate the nobles, they would face collective opposition from everyone. Now it is different in the Austrian era.
The great aristocracy in the country is not so strong, there is no situation where several princes join forces, and even the emperor is powerless, so Franz dares to play like this.
There will even be a part involved, as long as a member of the aristocratic family participates in the rebellion, it will be unlucky to follow, because there is no way to make it clear.
Of course, if you are smart enough, there is no way you can avoid it. As long as you prove your worth before the liquidation is complete, Franz will be merciful.
