Chapter 868 How can poison be cured without scraping the bones?

Three days ago, Venice.

The rebels had been making trouble in the city for so many days, and with the battle just now, the city of Venice finally stopped.

The next day, Franz was almost shocked when he saw the post-war statistics. The city of Venice, which was originally garrisoned by only 20,000 people, actually had more than 10,000 people after a series of fierce battles.

Needless to say, this was Alois Parffy's defeat. I didn't expect this group of people to run so fast. It seems that I have to deal with the remaining soldiers myself.

But something ironic soon happened. It was not Franz who came to clean up the remaining soldiers, but General Alois Palffy, who had been missing for a long time.

What's even more ironic is that the latter was very angry at this time, and the officers headed by him were furious.

"Damn you bastards! You bastards! You guys who can only run away. Cowards! Do you think you can escape punishment by escaping here?"

Thousands of soldiers had to drag their exhausted bodies and stand under the scorching sun. Anyone who dared to move or look would be severely beaten with a whip.

After several days of running around, these soldiers were exhausted. Coupled with the torture-like instructions and the whips falling from time to time, some people fell down in the queue from time to time.

But those who fell would not receive sympathy, let alone treatment. They would only receive more severe beatings.

As for those who dared to raise objections, they were directly hanged in the square. The charges were naturally treason and disobedience on the battlefield. Either one of them was enough to kill these big soldiers ten times.

General Alois Parffy's actions made Colonel Bordeaux and Colonel Monta very unhappy, and they also sympathized with the lower-level soldiers.

But Alois Parffy will become a general sooner or later. The Parffy family is a true aristocracy, with a history of nearly a thousand years and even longer than the history of the Austrian Empire.

Alois Palfi is the perfect candidate for the future head of the family. Killing these soldiers is not much more difficult for him than killing ants.

Although Bordeaux and Monta were both from noble backgrounds, in comparison, they were like a pheasant and a phoenix. Although they despised them in their hearts, they could only look up to them.

And even if they are willing to kill themselves, give up their aristocratic status, and even disregard their family safety and personal lives to fight this privileged class to the end, the final result will mostly be nothing.

Just like General Li Qi before him, he could still secure such an important position as Commander-in-Chief of Venice City Defense even after suffering countless defeats.

Even Count Latour, who had always obeyed Franz, deliberately ignored this matter. Prince Metternich was also willing to use his family honor as a guarantee to ensure that General Li Qi would not make a mistake.

However, the result is obvious. Even though General Li Qi received the advice of the two superior officials, he is still one of the biggest colanders in Venice.

The reason why he dared to go his own way was because he knew that he would not be punished. Historically, after General Li Qi lost Venice, instead of being sent to a military court, he was promoted to the Senate of the Senate.

The same was true for Alois Palffy. He knew very well that he would not be punished, but in front of Franz, the future leader of the Palffy family did not want to lose face.

Generally speaking, as the eldest son of two big families and the two future heads of the family, Franz and Alois will each take a step back. The former will pretend that he didn't see it, and the latter will restrain himself a little and put the blame on others. superior.

And then the Parfit family continued to be loyal to the Habsburgs, hello, me, everyone.

But Franz had been waiting for this day for more than ten years, and before that he had to personally destroy the "peaceful age" he created.

At the risk of causing the Austrian Empire to regress or even disintegrate, Franz only had one sentence at this time: "You deserve to die."

Alois Parffy was first a little confused, then a little surprised, and then he started to find it funny again at the words that the young boy Leng Ding said.

Although the latter didn't say anything, the expression on his face was full of disdain and confidence. He had experienced too many things in his life, and no matter what he did wrong, he would always be safe in the end.

As a result, Alois Palfi also came to an astonishing conclusion: he is God, and everything in the world except him is just his imagination.

However, Franz was one of the few people who could bring him back to reality from his imagination, but Alois Palffy still stared at the former. He felt that the little kid in front of him was just being motivated.

"Sooner or later he will be like me...he will understand who is his."

Alois Palffy thought so, but Franz repeated it again.

"You deserve to die. You deserve to hang here."

Alois Parffy said nothing, only sneered. But Franz's words frightened the others in the square.

Alois's adjutant immediately stepped forward to stop Franz. Bordeaux subconsciously prepared to draw his gun, but Franz grabbed the adjutant's stretched out wrist, twisted, folded, and pressed it, and his hand was disabled. .

After the adjutant fell to the ground, he was shocked to realize that his arm had been broken. He immediately screamed, but what frightened him even more was that Franz took out a sack filled with nooses.

"Fighters of the Austrian Empire, I know that escaping is not what you want. The fact that you came all the way to Venice is proof of your loyalty.

You are not to blame for the Venetian defeat, and you know who the culprit is.

That is the highest military commander in the entire Venetian region. His escape from the battle forced you to flee too.

You are indeed guilty, but these officers are equally guilty. I just want to say one thing today, the officers and nobles should be more responsible for this defeat.

Catch them all! Hang! "

Franz's words were orders. Although the soldiers and officers present were all uneasy, the soldiers of the Royal Dragoons did not care about this.

They said that they were the personal soldiers left by the old emperor to Franz, and incidents again and again proved that Franz would be a capable and ambitious emperor.

Soldiers support heroes because they are more eager to achieve success than ordinary people.

At this time, Alois Parffy behaved very rudely, and even somewhat insulted his noble status.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you."

At this time, Alois Parffy received an elbow on his armpit. Bordeaux had long been unhappy with this aloof Duke.

"Of course they don't dare, I'm here to serve you."

Alois Parffy had never experienced such humiliation in his life, but he had never been beaten before. He was so painful that he could not speak.

Seeing Bordeaux capture Alois Parfait and the wolf-like royal cavalry, the broken soldiers in the square became restless.

In fact, they are the most unwilling people. They have become defeated soldiers and deserters without even fighting a battle. No one would be so willing.
