MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-Chapter 11 Sun, Afternoon & Lap Pillows
Austria, Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.
The sun is warm and the leaves are bright.
Beneath the tree, Franz was sprawled across Talia's lap.
Thalia is Franz Joseph's governess hired by Madame Sophie.
According to Thalia's own words.
"Your Highness is good at everything, but the homework is a bit..." "Too strong!"
Although His Royal Highness still can't write many words, he can always draw inferences about physics, chemistry, and mathematics. His Highness can quickly understand many things that Thalia doesn't understand.
As a result, Talia can only read newspapers to His Royal Highness most of the time.
Also, His Royal Highness has some quirks, that is, he likes to hug people's laps to sleep.
Thalia thought of the royal family's regulations, the grand princess cannot raise the child herself, and the little highness is also very pitiful.
Little did she know that Franz was lying on her lap, his mind wandering.
For Franz now, getting the old emperor to agree to join the German Customs Union is already the limit of what he can do.
As for whether they can join, and whether they can cut Prussian leeks after joining, it depends on the fate of the heavens.
For Franz, what he should do now is to enjoy everything that his identity brings. Sunshine, grass, big white legs...
After all, if God does not take it, he will be blamed, and if it is not done, he will be blamed!
In the afternoon, Franz stretched himself and found that Talia was fast asleep.
After trying to poke it twice, Talia didn't wake up, but just turned over, and her sleeping appearance became even worse.
So Franz went alone to the table in the garden and opened the newspaper.
In the corner of the page, there is a message:
The rise of land in the United States hit a record high, and the land in Chicago tripled in just four years from 1830 to 1834. The current upward trend of land prices is not abating, and is expected to double again in the next three years.
Franz smiled. It seems that Austrian economists are still conservative. From 1834 to 1837, Chicago's land rose 64 times, which directly caused the economic crisis in 1837.
In the end, the land returned to its original value. At the peak in 1837, the land could be sold for $12,000. In 1839, it could only wait for buyers with a value of $100.
The most serious losses in this economic crisis are Britain and the United States, of course, because the economic exchanges between the two sides are too close. At the same time, trade protection policies are generally implemented on the European continent, but the impact is relatively small.
It's a pity that Franz can't invest. Otherwise, Franz will definitely help the Americans.
Let the Austrian royal family buy it? What if you refuse to sell when the economic crisis comes? Franz dared not gamble on the greed of human nature.
Newspapers devoted two gigantic pages to the news that the Austrian Empire was about to enter the German Customs Union.
There are two pages, one is to praise Franz II, and the other is to tell the great benefits of joining the German Customs Union.
At one o'clock on January 1, 1834, the strings of carriages that had been waiting anxiously at the borders of the states roared past like crazy, full of goods, because the various taxes that had to be paid to enter other countries were cancelled, and profits were reduced. All of a sudden, all German businessmen are busy driven by interests.
In 1834, the total trade volume within the German Confederation in just one quarter exceeded the trade volume in 1833. However, Austria's trade volume increased by only 6%, and the merchants of the Austrian Empire will suffer huge losses in the long run.
The newspaper described the German Customs Union, which will provide Austria with a huge market of 23 million people.
Although it is not advisable to be blindly optimistic, this time cannot pour cold water on businessmen.
Prince Metternich's book and newspaper censorship system was implemented fairly well, and no objections were found in the newspapers.
There are also some about rebels everywhere. From 1833 to 1834, there were 12 uprisings in and around Austria.
Three recent incidents have been quickly suppressed. One is small in scale, the smallest is no more than 20 people, and the other is that the garrison has been on guard for a long time. For this reason, Earl Tular assigned the most capable general in Austria to the most likely outbreak The location of the uprising.
There was only one uprising in Genoa, the largest and longest. Franz also saw two familiar names, Giuseppe Mazzini and Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Franz watched for a while, and finally understood what was going on. The general sent by the Austrian Empire to suppress the uprising was Li Qi, and this general was formidable.
During the Napoleonic Wars, it was the famous surrender king, the pocketbook of the French. He was captured eleven times by the French army and its allies, and each time he returned to Austria with the family's ransom.
Moreover, this brother has a big addiction to food, and was captured by the French every time, and asked the emperor to lead the army to fight again.
In the Year of the Storm, as the governor of Venice, 20,000 troops were stationed in the city of Venice. Facing the rebellious citizens, he ordered the soldiers to hand over their weapons without firing a single shot, and left the city with only the flags.
It even indirectly ruined the Austrian Navy. At that time, it was catching up with the accidental death of the former Austrian admiral, and the succeeding admiral was on vacation with beautiful women on the beach in Belgium.
In the Austrian navy without a commander, most of the officers and soldiers scattered like birds and beasts. Only an unknown captain and less than a hundred sailors were left to fight fiercely with the rebels for five days, and all of them died in the end.
If the fleet of the Austrian Navy was still there, there would not have been such a funny scene where seven warships from Genoa blocked Least, the naval port of the Austrian Empire.
The city of Venice couldn't hold on for that long, and Marshal Radetzky didn't have to divide his troops to prevent the Venetian army from cutting off the Austrian army's supply line. More troops can be sent to the front, and the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com war can end faster.
Afterwards, not only was General Li Qi not held accountable, but he also took over the Bohemian Front in northern Austria and lived until he was 85 years old.
This kind of waste took more than 10,000 people, chased 800 people, and chased them from Genoa to Rome, and even let more than 300 of them escape.
After capturing more than 20 prisoners, he was so embarrassed to claim credit in the newspaper. Franz was speechless for a while, determined in his heart that he would never let this kind of person continue to eat vegetarian food.
As the mastermind behind the uprising, Mazzini managed to escape to Switzerland. The Swiss Confederation rejected the proposals of the Austrian and Sardinian governments to expel Mazzini.
Historically, Mazzini did not continue to prepare for a new uprising in Switzerland, but traveled across the ocean to England to seek salvation.
At this time, Garibaldi, who was only a gunman, did not attract the attention of all countries. It is this unknown gunman who will set off stormy waves again and again in Italy in the future.
This man got on a merchant ship and went to South America. He also participated in the War of Independence of a small country and made great achievements.
Just when everyone thought that Gallipoli would continue to enjoy the treatment of heroes in that small South American country.
The president of that small country suddenly had a brain twitch, and actually wanted to push back on the country that was ten times larger in land and dozens of times larger in population than himself.
The result can be imagined, Garibaldi can only return to Italy.
In an inconspicuous corner it read: Friedrich Liszt of Württemberg to serve as special advisor to the great Emperor Franz II for a period of five years.
Franz let out a breath, probably because of his young age, he became sleepy after just watching it for a while. So he put down the newspaper, followed the ups and downs of the mountains, and drilled in.
