In fact, this is not the first time that Duke Ryan has heard such words, and the Hungarians have even found him directly before.

But to be honest, he doesn't like the Hungarians' money, as the Count of Savoy said before, the shares of the Austrian Royal Overseas Development Company are too fragrant.

As long as they received an invitation from Franz (the royal family) in the early days, or followed up in the first two years, their investment has at least tripled over the years.

It has been less than six years since the reorganization in 1842, and the real rate of return is close to 50% per year

Even for those who come after it, doubling their assets is not a problem. This is an extremely exaggerated number, exaggerated enough to make anyone's eyes red.

The Van Troh family, which once had millions of cash flows, was also the top wealthy family in the Austrian Empire, and in addition to the royal family and Archduke Karl, there were only a handful of families that could come up with millions of florins at a time.

You must know that Franz could only receive a gift of hundreds of thousands of florins for his birthday, and millions of florins are even more astronomical for ordinary people, and they may need to accumulate tens of thousands of years without eating or drinking.

Franz paid a lot of sincerity to pull these people along, but giving does not mean that there will be a return, and he may even be looked down upon by the other party.

One side rushes to it, the other side scoffs, and the two sides naturally do not speculate.

"Duke Vantro, are you sure you're not luring a wolf into the house? When the Hungarians invade the city, will they still keep their promise?

I'm afraid that by then, you'll have to vomit what you eat. ”

Duke Ryan spoke very nakedly, but the words of the Count of Savoy were even more spicy.

"It's good that I can spit it out, I'm afraid that the old man won't be able to come up in one breath, or the Hungarians can't wait to want a live section.

That's more than worth the loss. ”

"Humph! Rats' eyes! Stick in the mud! You'll regret your decision today! ”

Duke Fantroy snorted coldly at first, and then rebuked loudly.

However, more than half of the more than 100 people in the room still sided with Duke Ryan one after another, and even a side branch of the Fantroy family also stood over.

This was completely unexpected, and at least he himself felt that his people should not be so bad.

However, the reality is that after so many years of hearing and seeing, there are still a few people who really don't touch the railroad and the royal overseas development company.

Franz managed to pull most of the people onto his thief ship, and Duke Vantroy wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go berserk, but the reality was that he really didn't dare to do anything to so many people.

All the people here are big nobles with heads, faces and backgrounds, and it is not a problem for anyone to get hundreds or thousands of private soldiers.

If Van Troy really collected all these people, even if the Hungarians entered the city, he would not be able to save him.

In desperation, Duke Fantroy could only play Tai Chi again, but these people are very determined, and they will not easily change their opinions because of the demagogy of others.

Normally they liked to condemn the Habsburg royal family because it would be beneficial to them, but it was a little too frightening to join forces with the Hungarians to betray Austria.

It's okay if this matter is not raised, but once it is raised, some smart people think that maybe there is a royal eyeliner among them, so if they don't show the fierceness, will they be considered as wall grass?

Then a group of people more radical than the Duke of Ryan and the Count of Savoy appeared, and they looked completely at odds with Van Troy.

It stands to reason that these top nobles don't look up and look down, and even if they really have a deep hatred, they won't show it.

The situation in front of him made Duke Van Troo a little confused for a while, but he knew that there was no turning back from the bow, and he was already iron-hearted to openly propose to join forces with the Hungarians to rebel against Austria in front of so many people.

Seeing that so many people were opposed, he definitely couldn't let his supporters continue to quarrel with this group of guys.

Because the more reason is argued, the more people will hesitate, and in addition to being persuaded by the other party, they may also quit because of fear.

Although Duke Fantroy had a list of these people, the Habsburgs did not even hold him accountable for the first evil.

At this time, Duke Van Troo actually did not have much binding power on his allies, so he could only reduce the contact between the two sides.

In fact, there is another point he does not want to admit, that is, it is not good to provoke those great nobles who are unwilling to follow him.

While some may seem tough, those will most likely end up watching on the sidelines, unless one side can convince them with better terms.

The unhappy parting between the two sides made some people breathe a sigh of relief, after all, they knew very well that every move here was under the watchful eye of others.

Only the most reckless, stupid and insane would foolishly agree to Duke Vantroy that if everyone here really got along with each other, then a group of professionally trained revolutionaries would come in and slaughter all the people here.

Mrs. Sophie was not Franz, and she didn't want to give people a chance, especially if it might threaten her family.

Madame Sophie didn't want to think about the consequences, she only knew that the dead could not be avenged.

Count Hussel's men had been lurking in Duke Fantro's mansion for many years, and at this time a large number of nitroglycerin bombs were hidden in the basement of Fantroy Manor.

As long as these people decide to join forces to do something, then they will be blown up to the sky, including those in the know.

There has always been a lot of contradictions between Madame Sophie and these big nobles, and Mrs. Sophie is regarded as an outsider by these big nobles, and Mrs. Sophie also can't accept these so-called big nobles pointing fingers behind their backs all day long.

In addition, at this time, they wanted to create a rebellion against the Austrian Empire, and if it wasn't for Franz to stop them, Mrs. Sophie's Plan A would have been implemented long ago.

Sooner or later, Franz will be the target of Franz's rectification of the excessively large privileged class in the country, but considering the reality, Franz decided to deal with those disloyal guys first.

In Venice, Franz's assessment of the Bohemian revolt was too petty.

Actually, it is not correct to call it the Bohemian Revolt, but it should be the Prague Revolt to be exact, because the people in other parts of Bohemia are still living a normal life.

Historically, the scale of the uprising was also very limited, with only a few hundred people at first, and it was impossible for such a small scale to occupy an entire city, but Prince Wendy Schretz handled it very badly.

He did not rush to suppress it, but chose to let it develop, and only began to carry out crazy and bloody suppression after the catastrophe.

The result is what Czech history says about Czech nationalism in 1848.

Prince Wendy Schreitz's brutal methods actually backfired, as he slaughtered more civilians.

Most of those who actually participated in the rebellion were not liquidated, and many of them were released shortly after.

Because Prince Wendy Schretz wants to show his benevolent side.

As a result, the Czechs saw the incompetence and weakness of the Austrian imperial government, and the burning of Prague and the massacre of innocent people became a scar that the country could never heal.

Therefore, Franz could not agree with the title of Prince Wendy Schretz, the triad, who saved the Austrian Empire, and called him "the executioner of Prague" or "the true father of Czech nationalism".

The Prague uprising in history was only discovered because of this man with heavy soldiers to appease and raise traitors, but the fire burned to his own head.

Prince Wendy Schretz's wife was a very "virgin", and she hoped to persuade the merchants to give the young people more work, and also hoped that the Bohemians and Germans could live together peacefully.

As a result, the peace-wishing woman lit the flames of Prague when she was hit in the head by a stray bullet during a hand-giving trip.

After that, there was a drama of rushing to the crown and becoming angry, and Prince Wendy Schretz led a large army to level Prague to avenge his wife.

This may seem like a bloody Western revenge drama, but this dead "Madonna" is not only the wife of Prince Wendy Schgretz, but also the sister of Prince Felix Schwarzenberg.

Hannah Schwarzenberg was the most favored child of the Schwarzenberg family, and her unexpected death directly led to the breakup of the two families.

Prince Wendy Schretz, who was known at the time as one of the "Three Fathers of the Salvation of the Austrian Empire", soon found an opportunity to strip her of her rights by her brother-in-law, Prince Felix Schwarzenberg.

Later, although Prince Wendy Schretz was a member of the noble Senate, he did not have any real power in his hands, and the Wendy Schgretz family was severely suppressed during the reign of Prime Minister Felix.

This led directly to the decline of the Wendy Schretz family.

Franz is not very fond of fishing law enforcement, but for the long-term peace and stability of the country, this opportunity to eradicate the lesion cannot be missed.

He felt that the scale of the Prague uprising in history was too small, and the problem of dealing with the aftermath was too big. So Franz decided to help them come to the second-largest, the British, the Hungarians, the Jesuits of Pius IX.

Coupled with the German nationalists, Franz was going to call them a complete outburst and then wipe them out.

However, judging from the war reports that have come so far, the so-called Czech nationalism is still in jeopardy, because the German nationalists on the side are too strong.

And before Prince Wendy Schretz carried out the massacre, there were not many people in the Czech region who really wanted to oppose Austria.

So even after fermentation for a long time, there are still only a few thousand of them.

Tanner Amhead, Franz's most capable mercenary leader, asked.

"Grand Duke Franz, what should I do?"

"There's nothing to say, kill them all. I will ask Archduke Karl to write an order to Prince Wendy Schreitz not to meddle in your work. ”

Prince Wendy Schretz would not have listened to this order, and even the orders of Archduke Karl himself could not get the regular army to cooperate with the mercenaries.

In fact, Franz wanted to deliberately humiliate him and force him to solve the Prague problem, otherwise Franz could only solve him.

As for the Hungarians on the other side, Franz didn't think it would be too much of a problem.

It was only a fortress on the periphery, and the Hungarian cavalry had also suffered heavy losses, and it was no longer capable of advancing further.

In fact, even the outermost fortress should not be lost, and the Hungarian cavalry led by Baujani stormed the Fort of Putra as if it were sent to death.

In fact, it was a very stupid decision for the cavalry to raid the fortress, not to mention the fortress, even the wooden fence at the high point was a great obstacle for the cavalry.

The only battlefield where cavalry is really suitable is an open and solid ground, and at the same time, the infantry cannot form a phalanx, so that the cavalry can play its greatest role.

Franz had one of the most elite cavalry in the Austrian Empire, but even they could not have ridden to attack the city.

The cavalry led by Bajani was only half that Kosuzhino had given him, but there were many of them, and they forced their assault on the fortified fortress without heavy firepower, which naturally ended in defeat.

After the Hungarians lost several hundred cavalry, the defenders of the fortress still suffered zero casualties.

The Austrian soldiers in the fort felt that they could hold ten times more Hungarians, and the soldiers laughed at the Hungarians' tactics while firing at the battlements.

"They're probably a little bigger than a rabbit!"

One soldier laughed, and the others immediately followed.

"Indeed, I think they may be trying to drain our bullets."

Another soldier quipped.

"Is it so cunning?"

"Of course! As long as they keep attacking like this, in another year or two we will run out of bullets! ”

At that moment, an officer came up and stopped his men.

"Nonsense!"

"Yes! Sir. ”

"Our gunpowder expires before the bullets run out!"

"Hahahaha!!"

The Hungarian hussars outside the city looked miserable, and they crashed into the tall walls with a lot of blood.

The Austrian soldiers, who had no sense of honor, did not dare to go out of the fortress to fight them, but only dared to hide behind the firing ports in the city and fire their cold guns.

But this tactic, which was neither honorable nor technical, was beyond the reach of the noble Hungarian hussars.

Baujani looked at the depressed soldier, and he knew that nothing would come of it if he continued to spend it like this. But the great cause of Hungary must be accomplished, and Mr. Kossuth's ideals must be realized.

For this reason, Baujani decided to do something that he despised, and Baujani walked to the fortress with a white flag.

Due to some unwritten rules, Austrian soldiers generally did not fire at such officers.

So that Baugjani could walk under the fortress unharmed, and he cried out, "I am the Austrian Imperial Lieutenant General Baujani Lajos, and I order you to open the gates and let me in." ”

The officers in the fort all knew this general Baujani, and in fact Baujani was once the highest commander here, so everyone looked at each other.

And, strictly speaking, Baugjani Lajoche was the supreme military governor of the St. Stephen's Crown region and did have the power to order them to do so.

However, it seems that a war between Austria and Hungary had already begun at this time, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the large-scale offensive of the Hungarian hussars just now.

It was proposed to kill the enemy commander outright, but it was immediately opposed by others, as such a noble would usually be forgiven if he took the lead in rebellion and confessed his sins.

And these defenders are all the children of commoners, and if they die, this great nobleman may be retaliated against one day.

At this time, one of Baujani's former subordinates stepped in to give Baujani as a guarantor, and the Hungarians would let them go.

Baujani agreed, and the massacre at Pressburg was repeated, albeit in the form of history only on the periphery of the 1,500-strong fortress.

The real Pressburg was still in Austrian hands, but the Hungarians still declared them victorious.
