War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Normally, the butler should be the one to contact the visiting guests at this time, but the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses had already panicked and ran frantically towards Vihliu Yasusky's room.

"Sir, sir, there are some officers... there are guests coming."

The young butler tried hard to control his tongue, but it was like it was tied into ten thousand knots and he couldn't straighten it out.

Vihliu Yasusky was not so panicked. After all, he had been to Vienna and seen the military parade. In the previous crisis in Luxembourg, when Austria defeated France, Austria held a celebration, and the victorious soldiers naturally participated.

As a local nobleman, Vihliu Yasusky was also qualified to be invited to Vienna to visit the review ceremony.

This has always been Austria's practice and has continued since the Holy Roman Empire, because it can show national strength.

This is very important for a powerful family, or a powerful country. Not only can it enhance the confidence of its own people, but it can also directly deter enemy countries and potential enemies, and can also slightly promote economic development.

In fact, Franz's beer fully occupied the German market through victory in the two wars against France.

Wihlyu Jasuski's new butler is a top student at the University of Krakow. He is knowledgeable, rational, tall, handsome, young, and loves Poland, but he doesn't like to call himself "Master".

Although the butler finally changed his tune at this time, Vihliu Yasusky was not happy at all, because this proved that the young man he had always valued was useless at the critical moment.

"There's nothing to panic about, let me see him."

Master Vihliu Yasusky personally greeted him, which still caused an exclamation of exclamation. After all, the master was very noble, and even when the general arrived, he did not go out to greet him.

It's just that at this time and that time, the Yasuski family and the former governor worked together in the past, and they were able to control the Galicia region.

But now the new governor, Count Stadion, is a man of no means. He is not short of money or women, and he has no interest in art. He just wants to drive the Galician nobles to death.

At this time, there was an uprising in Krakow, and the Polish Nationalist Army threw the entire Polish region into chaos.

The nobles of Galicia rebelled against Austria, and the serfs rebelled against the nobles. If the Yasusky family had not had a strong armed force, those mud-legged people would have been beaten into the Wubao by now.

The most important thing is that although this guest is a colonel, Vihliu Yasusky has never heard of a colonel who can lead thousands of cavalry.

Usually there are only about 1,000 people in a regiment, and the British cavalry regiment only has 450 people. Even the large Russian and Austrian regiments have about 1,500 people.

The momentum of the cavalry just now was obviously not what one or two thousand people could achieve, so at this time Vihliu Yasusky was very puzzled. He didn't understand why such a large number of cavalry came to his manor.

Although Galicia was in chaos at this time, I had only heard of serfs attacking Wubao and looting it. So far, I had not heard of any troops participating.

What's more, such a large cavalry team can completely plunder towns, so why bother staring at this piece of fly meat? They can't take away the land, so why don't they rely on war horses to snatch wheat?

"Hello, Mr. Colonel. I am Vihliu Yasusky, the patriarch of the Yasusky family."

Vihlyu Yasusky tried his best to behave calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, because no matter what emotion he showed, the other party would find flaws and cause unnecessary trouble.

"I, Bordeaux of Hastal, faithful servant of the Habsburg family, chamberlain of Archduke Franz Joseph, will now conduct a security inspection of your estate."

Vihliu Yasusky was a little confused now. Why did the royal family suddenly come to his manor? But he immediately thought of it, because according to etiquette, every family would send invitations to the visiting royal family.

But usually such invitations are not responded to, and everything is just a courtesy process.

However, this kind of invitation is not completely unresponsive. If a member of the royal family comes to visit, it is a great honor for the local nobles, and this relationship will bring many benefits to that family in the future.

In short, the royal family's acceptance of invitations from local nobles is almost like a lottery, but this grand prize comes at a bad time.

The manor had been attacked several times before, and pits were being dug to bury people inside. When the royal guards entered, he was afraid that he would be killed on the spot.

Because this is most likely to be misunderstood as some kind of pagan sacrificial ritual, and it is also aimed at members of the royal family.

Offending the imperial power and the divine power at once would be like the end of a noble family.

Even if the other party didn't understand it that way, it was illegal to torture and kill serfs privately, and on such a large scale, plus Count Stadion who didn't recognize his relatives, Wihlyu Yasusky would have to be sentenced to exile at the very least.

Colonel Bordeaux did not dismount, but said with that stinking face.

"Can you open the door? Archduke Franz is coming, we have to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Vihliu Yasusky immediately broke out in sweat, and a very ugly smile appeared on his tense face.

"Sir, why don't you have a drink first?"

This kind of inappropriate nonsense will naturally arouse people's vigilance, let alone someone like Colonel Bordeaux who has been responsible for the security of important people for a long time.

Bordeaux snapped.

"Open the door!"

"Sir, I want to give Archduke Franz a surprise."

Vihliu Yasuski is still explaining, but this obviously doesn't work for Bordeaux.

"Count Yasusky, please get out of the way."

"grown ups."

Vihliu Yasusky was about to step forward to say something, but Bordeaux winked, and the two knights immediately dismounted and pulled the former aside.

No one among the servants and guards of the Yasusky family dared to make any move. They all lowered their heads for fear of making eye contact.

Bordeaux and his men pushed the door open, but the servants and escorts of the Yasusky family still showed no reaction. They stood there as dumb as logs.

On the other hand, Franz's team was still marching slowly on the road. The rural roads in Galicia were muddy, winding and long.

Fortunately, hollow rubber tires and new shock absorbers had been replaced by this time, but Franz was still very uncomfortable sitting in the carriage.

Lakshmi Pai on the side was very happy. This was the best car she had ever ridden in. Exquisite, chic, comfortable, everything made her like it, and the little girl couldn't help but get excited.

But the scenery outside the window made Lakshmi Pai unhappy. The houses on both sides of the road looked dilapidated, and the combination of thatch and soil was hard to like.

Especially the walls of different colors and the uneven roof make people feel a little disgusted.

The different colors of the mud walls are usually due to repairs, and the unevenness of the thatched roof is usually due to age.

Lakshmi Pai couldn't help but sigh.

"It turns out your country also has such a shabby place!"
