War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

The work efficiency of this group of former serfs far exceeded the expectations of Austrian imperial officials. It actually proved that as long as the money and food were in place, subjective initiative could be achieved in minutes.

In addition to the boulders, the trees and weeds are much easier to clean up. After all, this is a firewood production area, and there are no towering trees that can be hugged by several people.

Most trees can be solved by workers using saw blades and shovels. Some large trees can be solved in minutes by hanging a steam tractor and dozens or hundreds of people pulling together.

After the ground was mostly cleared, steam tractors would turn over the land thoroughly with heavy plows.

Then the workers will clean up the debris, such as rocks, tree roots and the like.

Steam tractors would then turn the land over again, exchanging the upper and lower layers of soil, an act also known as "ploughing."

Finally, fertilizer is added to increase soil fertility, and the land is leveled before crops can be planted.

Except for the dikes and wastelands, as well as those swamps and lakes, the Galician nobles were originally too weak to transform the land.

As steam pumps arrived by train, huge pipes began to drain swamps and wetlands, which would become fertile soil.

And those barren mountains are actually mines. Although the reserves are not very good, they can still solve the employment problem of some people.

The nobles of Galicia would only cling to the few traditional salt mines, but with the Austrian Empire's development of coastal areas and the construction of railways, the price of salt was plummeting.

In fact, Galicia also has an important strategic resource - oil, but by coincidence, the largest oil field is the territory of the Yasusky family.

(The territory of the Yasusky family is in the Dorobich area, which is near Lviv and is also the largest oil field in the Austrian Empire.)

The Yasusky family was a staunch anti-Austrian faction and funded various anti-Austrian actions all year round. At the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria even had to find a Canadian to deal with this family.

In the end, the Yasuski family united with the Hungarian government and obtained immunity. During World War I, he even organized an army to cooperate with the Russians internally and externally.

Franz actually tried to redeem and exchange the land, but was rejected by him both ways.

Wihliu Yasuski was the patriarch of the Yasuski family at this time. He was the eldest brother of the Polish Restoration Army. Every year, he transferred one-third of his income out of Austria to the Polish Restorationists. in hand.

At the same time, Vihliu Yasusky has been building fortresses and training militiamen on his own land, but everything he did was legal, because there were no regulations at that time not to transfer property out of the country, and to train domestic servants and guards. It is the freedom of the nobility.

Franz didn't want this kind of person to occupy important oil resources, and Yasusky didn't want him to have a good death.

So Franz must let the Polish uprising of 1846 happen, and the 20 million florins were just to force them to take action.

Although the Polish restorers had no discipline at all, they were not fools. They did not revolt according to the original plan.

Of course, these guys will not admit that they are cowarded. Instead, they will use the lack of funds as an excuse to ask their supporters to continue to provide funds, which will force the uprising to be postponed.

So Franz is going to set them on fire. Don’t you have the money to revolt? I'll give you money.

In fact, in addition to Franz, the top leaders of the Austrian Empire were also looking forward to the Poles revolting as soon as possible.

In fact, Austria signed a secret agreement with the Holy Alliance countries many years ago, that is, once an uprising occurs in the Free City of Krakow, the Austrian Empire has the right to incorporate it into its own territory.

You must know that Krakow was the most prosperous city in the entire Poland at this time. Although it was only a drop in the bucket for the Austrian Empire at this time, the grasshopper legs were also meaty.

The most important thing is that once Krakow is incorporated into the Austrian Empire, the flames of Zionism in Poland will be completely extinguished, at least this is what the top leaders of Russia, Prussia, and Austria think.

In fact, the Austrian Empire's envoy rushed to Russia as soon as he got the news. What was embarrassing was that Tsar Nicholas I did not learn the news until the Austrian envoy arrived.

Nicholas I did not want the Austrian Empire to annex the Free City of Krakow, but he also did not want Poland to continue to have uprisings on its own land.

Nicholas I wanted to take the opportunity to borrow money from the Austrian Empire, but was rejected by the latter's envoy. In fact, Metternich had already anticipated this situation, so he directly authorized his subordinates to reject the Tsar's request.

In the end, in exchange, the two sides just reached some painless agreements.

In fact, it would also be beneficial to Russia to eliminate the Polish Restoration Army and reduce the Poles' will to restore their country. It's just that Nicholas I was a little jealous, and the Austrian Empire couldn't ignore the opinions of this powerful ally.

Austria's attitude towards Prussia was much colder. Although the ambassador personally submitted it to the King of Prussia, it was not an agreement, but just a notice.

All Frederick William IV wanted was to sign his name. Of course, even if he did not sign, it would not affect the Austrian Empire's next actions.

The Free City of Krakow was small, and in the heart of the Holy Alliance, British and French opposition meant little.

In fact, the British did not have much real support for the Poles, and most of the so-called support was just verbal.

The French are much more affordable than the former. They not only shelter Polish political exiles, but also occasionally organize charity fundraisers for these people.

However, neither Britain nor France would choose to intervene in the affairs of the Holy Alliance at this time, because they both have more important things to do.

Almost all the main British troops went to India, but the Indians were really weak and refused to admit their uprising when the British came.

The princes of the princes all said that they were suppressing the rebellion. As for the British who died in their own territories, they were naturally killed by the rebels.

Where are the rebels? Of course he was killed by them. Which territory didn't have other factions with different opinions?

Sir Henry Harding felt as if he had eaten a hundred flies. He knew full well that those damn Indians were fooling him.

But for the sake of the interests and dignity of the British Empire, Sir Henry Harding could not start a random war to clean out these moths.

He could only accept kisses on the hands and even feet from the princes of the princes, which made Sir Henry Harding feel chills.

As a result, he could only vent his anger on the Sikh Empire and the Nepalese Empire, the two unlucky ones who were openly rebelling.

With the support of the British, the Rana family regained military and political power in Nepal. However, fearing the strength of the Qing Dynasty, Nepal still had to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

In order to reduce the Nepali people's will to resist, the British deliberately asked the Rana family to carry out a massacre and burned a large number of crops.

At the same time, the British also began to recruit Langcourt in large numbers, because they found that these people were just like the Swiss in the past, only looking at money and not people, and they were definitely considered outstanding in combat in South Asia.
