The hasty end of the Battle of Celesta was completely unexpected by Franz, but the army should have carried just enough supplies for the nearby population to last until winter.

In fact, before the end of the battle, Franz always believed that Duchess Fanny Curt would most likely die in an alley, and the remaining Orleans army would scatter or be inspired to fight for a while and then return with the Duchess's body.

Franz even prepared a eulogy for the occasion, as well as a good coffin.

However, Fanny Curt survived and emerged victorious. According to post-war statistics, no high-ranking officers were killed on the coalition side, so the coffin was useless at once.

Coffins are also hierarchical, and indiscriminate use will not only cause unnecessary arguments, but even lead to unnecessary comparisons.

There are naturally heroes who have fallen in battle, and some will be made even if there is no Franz, but these heroes are even more unsuitable for overuse.

The only thing that the heroes should have brought back was ashes, uniforms and medals of merit, in order to prevent the enemy or a third party from asking for a price.

There has never been a shortage of corpse thieves and tooth hunters on the battlefields of Europe, and both professions have been popularized in science before, so I won't go into details.

But as long as the value of the corpse is high enough, there will definitely be people who choose to take risks, and many times in the anti-French war, the two sides are hostile during the day, but at night they are walking together to steal the corpse.

Even if all countries impose the harshest criminal penalties on corpse theft, they will not be able to stop this lucrative industry.

In addition to the gold, silver, and jewelry carried by the corpse itself, clothes, weapons, hair, teeth, carrion, and even bones can be exchanged for money.

Wigs and fake beards have always been a favorite of the upper class, and in this era of coarse food and no daily protection for teeth, dentures have always been in high demand.

In addition to carrion, bones can be burned into bone char in addition to fertilizer, which is used as a decolorization filter by sugar factories to process raw sugar into white sugar.

The British are particularly experienced in this regard, and the editor-in-chief of a certain newspaper once publicly declared in the newspaper:

"It is estimated that more than one million bushels (1 bushel equals 8 gallons in the UK) of human and non-human bones were imported from continental Europe into the Port of Hull last year.

They come from the vicinity of Leipzig, Austerlitz and Waterloo, and are ground into granules by bone grinders in Yorkshire, made into bone manure and sent to the largest produce markets, where they are then sold to farmers.

According to expert research in our country, human bones produce the best quality fertilizer.

There is no doubt that dead soldiers are still a valuable commodity, and it is incomprehensible that Yorkshire farmers rely heavily on the bones of their children for their daily bread."

At this moment, there are actually corpse thieves who have already begun to act, but Franz has already prepared a team of professional corpse pickers.

Most of them were refugees from Ireland, many of whom did not even speak English, they only spoke old Gaelic and the merchants needed to hire a translator to buy them.

And these Irish have a special formation, and Franz who wants to contact them close to them is easy to find out.

If you don't eliminate the upstream industrial chain, you just want to grasp some temporary work, and this kind of atmosphere will never end.

In addition, the cost of using the Irish as refugees is relatively low, and the use of other ethnic groups in Austria is easy to cause criticism, but the use of Irish does not need to worry about these problems.

As for self-theft, the Irish, as refugees, are also more likely to be subject to harsher inspections.

In terms of punishment, Franz did not have to worry about being attacked by the aristocracy and certain opinion leaders because of the excessive punishment.

Even if something did go wrong, Franz would have been able to throw all the blame on the British, after all, the Irish were from the British.

Under the leadership of the priests, the corpses of the German allied troops were found, and then they were cremated one by one by a simple mass, and finally sealed and brought back to China.

The bodies of the inhabitants of Celesta will be returned to the Celestas, while the corpses of the French soldiers will be concentrated

Together, whether to bury or burn the fortress was decided by the residents of Lesta and representatives of the Orleans dynasty.

As for the coffin and eulogy, Franz was going to use them as fuel for a bonfire.

What Franz didn't know was that his behavior was over-interpreted.

"Did you hear that? Archduke Franz actually went to battle with a coffin!"

"Really?"

"Didn't you see it when the quartermaster walked through the camp with that coffin today?"

"Is that for Archduke Franz?"

"At first I didn't believe it, but when the news of the victory came, Archduke Franz ordered the coffin to be chopped up as firewood.

That's all good wood! You can't afford it in your life!"

"Why should such good wood be used as firewood? What a waste! Won't you use it next time?"

The creep's head was slammed, and the good old soldier roared angrily.

"Are you a coffin or something auspicious? You can't afford to live in a coffin or sleep in a coffin like you when Archduke Franz is like you? Where can a broken coffin go?"

"Then why do you want to use it as firewood?" The creeps still couldn't accept that the good wood had been wasted.

"Haven't you heard that there is going to be a celebration?"

"I've heard that! They also sent me a bottle of wine and a salted fish!"

The little soldier smacked his mouth as he counted, that salted fish was really good...

"You're the big guys, they're all like you? A salted fish is sufficient? In the evening, Archduke Franz will have a bonfire for the delegates of the states!"

"Use the coffin as firewood for a bonfire? Aren't you afraid?"

The little soldier couldn't help but complain, but then he received another chestnut from the veteran.

"You know what! The nobles in the city like to play exciting! What is the burning of the coffin and the bonfire! The British royal family still eats human flesh feasts!"

Speaking of which, a man wearing a white robe with a bible and a legal code stood up, and Ace, as a preacher in the army, naturally knew the role of rumors, so he immediately began to correct the style of painting that was going astray.

"Carry the coffin and go out on the expedition, and burn the coffin to celebrate the victory after the big victory, how can such a heroic thing make you talk so petty?"

The preacher was a type of chaplain in the Austrian army, but he had both church and military status, and could even deal directly with low-ranking non-commissioned officers who made mistakes.

Coupled with the fact that the two soldiers had no intention of discrediting Franz, they immediately changed their tunes.

"Yes! Carry the coffin and go on the expedition! Burn the coffin to celebrate! Heroic dry clouds! Archduke Franz mighty! ...」

"Remember that there is only one version, and if I hear other rumors, I guarantee that you will die without a place to be buried."

"Yes! Be! Yes!"

The two soldiers were just about to leave.

"Come back!"

"What else do you command, Lord Pastor?"

"The pork chops are going to be fried, so let's stay and eat them together."

.....

The two soldiers gratefully share the delicious tonkatsu with the priest, but Sister Rebi is a little unhappy, and the rare time between the siblings is ruined.
