Vienna.

As soon as Franz disembarked, he was stuffed into the royal carriage and joined the parade of victory.

The procession slowly drove through the streets, lined with celebratory crowds and flower petals floating in the air. The victory to regain Belgrade intoxicated the people.

Of course, the Austrian government also invested in preparing 20 tons of candy to celebrate this victory.

In fact, the Austrian government did not spend much money on this batch of sugar, they were sent by Mexicans to pay off their debts.

Tasang Anna's level of governance is comparable to that of Emperor Huiqin.

After the end of the Civil War, Mexico's economy did not improve, but fell into depression.

Mexico's economy has been hit hard by successive economic crises and famine, which have reduced sugar demand in Europe. At the same time, the Mexican-American War and the Civil War left Mexico with huge debts, and Tasan Anna's solution was to raise taxes.

The Mexicans were overwhelmed by the variety of taxes, but as the French began to invade the Central American Confederation and the Americans expanded their armaments.

Tasan Anna sensed the crisis, and in the face of the crisis in front of him, he had to have a strong army.

As a result, the continuous increase in taxes finally led to the revolt of the people, and with the instigation of some local forces, rebellions broke out in some parts of Mexico.

Kotasan Anna simply couldn't see the crux of the matter, and in order to quell the rebellion, he had to feed more troops, and more troops meant higher taxes.

In the end, even the Mexican soldiers found out what the problem was, because those who resisted would not rise up to resist if they survived.

But Tasan Anna himself could not get out of this strange circle, and after some thought, he remembered the friend who had helped him.

Archduke Franz Karl, of course, could not understand what was written, so he handed it to Mrs. Sophie.

However, Mrs. Sophie was not very good at governing the country, and after giving Tasan Anna a few bad ideas, she handed it over to Franz.

Franz could see at a glance that Tasan Anna was avoiding the important and that his main concern was the territorial ownership of California and New Mexico.

The Americans and the French are constantly infiltrating these two vast and sparsely populated lands. And Tasan Anna's immigration plan turned out to be whimsical at all.

People in the South are reluctant to leave their homeland, and California and New Mexico are not prepared to receive migrants, and the Mexican government has played a counterproductive role in the migration process.

As a result, Tasan Anna's ambitious immigration plan had to be terminated by the untouchables, and the subsequent debt crisis and endless rebellions overwhelmed him.

Franz sighed: "It's really mud that can't hold up the wall." ”

But the land of Mexico is really good, either gold or silver, it's just a feast on God.

It's a pity that he is incompetent, and he has evil neighbors next to him.

Instead of cheapening the Americans, it is better to dig it yourself.

Franz had already made up his mind, and just wanted Adjani to do it, but he found that the latter was almost unable to stand.

The previous march was torture for Franz, who had to sit upright in the carriage and receive the blessings of his subjects.

And even worse was Adjani, who walked eight kilometers with the carriage in high heels, and returned to Schönbrunn Palace without stopping. At this time, her legs were already trembling, and if she hadn't insisted on exercising, she would have collapsed.

"Go to bed."

"Huh?!" Adjani was a little shocked for a moment, thinking that she had misheard.

"Go to bed." Franz repeated it again.

Adjani is professionally trained and does not sit on her master's bed or chair. But she couldn't stand up at the moment, and she couldn't care so much when she heard Franz's words, so she jumped directly into bed.

The moment she lay in bed, she felt like she was alive again. Adjani, whose waist and legs were relaxed, looked at the ceiling, stunned and didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't even pay much attention to Franz when she went out and came back.

Just as Adjani was about to stretch and relax, Franz suddenly grabbed her ankle. In an instant, an electric sensation spread throughout Adjani's body, causing her to slam her spirit.

But Adjani struggled symbolically twice, and then allowed Franz to take off her shoes and stockings.

Just as Adjani was expecting something to happen next, she suddenly felt a stream of heat rushing up from her feet, and she sat up straight.

Seeing that her feet were pressed into the hot water basin, Adjani felt very puzzled, and secretly thought to herself, "Foot washing ceremony?" What was Franz trying to express? ”

As Adjani's feet were bathed in the hot water, a warm current rushed to her heart. Soon her brain was shut down due to the acceleration of blood flow to the downward circulation.

Adjani leaned her hands on the edge of the bed, looking intoxicated.

Due to the influence of religion, Westerners have given a special meaning to foot washing. But in Franz's eyes, there is nothing more comfortable than soaking your feet after a tired day.

It's just that looking at Adjani's appearance, I'm afraid things can't be negotiated for the time being.

Another major war broke out in the Chenla region, and the Vietnamese miscalculated the situation. They believed that Austria's rapid occupation of large areas of Chenla was supported by the Chenla and Siamese.

As a result, Emperor Minh Minh of Vietnam did the biggest mistake of his life, ordering the arrest of Queen An Mei's sisters, tortured them to death in front of her, and their bodies were thrown into the Mekong River.

This greatly angered the Chenla people, nobles, and monks (at that time, Chenla was a place that believed in Buddhism, and the status of the monks was quite high, and they had considerable power. Peasants, even bandits, bandits, rose up against the Vietnamese.

And the church did not miss this opportunity, sending troops to attack Phnom Penh, and the Vietnamese side gathered all 50,000 troops in an attempt to break the myth of the invincibility of the cathars.

However, it backfired, and the Vietnamese army wanted to take advantage of the lack of cavalry of the cathars and use the elite cavalry to break through the line in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the cathars had just replenished a batch of Congreve rockets, which caused great panic among the Vietnamese cavalry.

In addition, the Vietnamese, who had been defeated repeatedly at this time, lied that Xiyi would use demon magic in order to cover up the fact of their defeat. When the Vietnamese army saw the rockets flying all over the sky, they immediately felt that a great disaster was coming, and they fled in a panic.

As a result, the cavalry of the Vietnamese cavalry collided with their own infantry array, resulting in a complete rout, in which the Vietnamese army lost 3,500 people and captured more than 30,000 people, and was forced to release the royal family of Zhenla, and at the same time recognized the independence of Chenla, and paid an indemnity of 3 million taels of silver.

Prince Anton, who should have taken advantage of the chaos in history to seize the throne of Chenla, died at sea inexplicably, and was buried at sea along with his cronies.

Siam and Chenla became allies, and at the same time Chenla became a vassal to Austria, Queen Amber officially ascended the throne, Ambrosius became the prince, and their son was crowned crown prince.

However, the cathar army was not disbanded, and the church still had de facto control over the power, but the queen herself did not care, and there was no force in Chenla that could confront the church.

Franz, however, was a little worried, because the church had taken too many steps.
