Chapter 1202 Alexander Bach

It is a big deal to convert the Poles, but given Russia's communication and execution capabilities, we have to wait for a while.

Vienna.

Franz made another amazing appointment. He actually appointed Alexander Bach, the leader of the liberals who surrendered, as a senior official in Hungary.

This made many people confused about Franz's intentions. After all, judging from the emperor's previous performance, he should hate liberals very much.

But now he first appointed Count Szechenyi as the mayor of Vienna, and then appointed Alexander Bach as a senior official in Hungary, which is in turmoil.

Imagine if Alexander Bach caused any trouble in Hungary again, the Austrian Empire would lose face.

But in fact, this worry is unnecessary. Franz has repeatedly contacted Alexander Bach and investigated his resume.

The latter was obsessed with fame all his life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of doctrines, but his heart is full of business.

Alexander Bach was born into a legal family with many judges and lawyers, so he naturally received legal education.

Although he entered the legal department early with the help of his family, the Austrian imperial government at that time was a place where you had to wait for seniority.

Alexander Bach had to wait at least a dozen years to make a name for himself, which was undoubtedly a torture for a young man who was ambitious to change the world.

After a few years of hard work, liberalism and nationalism happened to rise in Austria, and coupled with Kossuth's role model effect, Alexander Bach turned into a liberal fighter.

This time, someone was finally willing to listen to him. He published many articles criticizing the political and legal system of the Austrian Empire, and he was in the limelight for a while.

But soon the Austrian imperial government fought back, and Metternich ordered the arrest of troublemaking college students and liberals everywhere.

Alexander Bach was quickly released because of his good attitude of confessing his guilt, and even reinstated.

Such an abnormal result could not be exchanged for a good attitude of confessing his guilt. In fact, Alexander Bach became an informant of the secret police, and later even became a small leader.

When 1848 came, he became a liberal again, and successfully switched allegiance before Franz launched the Great Purge.

Alexander Bach's ability to make the right choice at every critical juncture is worthy of recognition.

Historically, Alexander Bach became the most loyal supporter of absolute monarchy after pledging allegiance to the emperor. In fact, his actions were also fruitful, but the Austrian Empire was too weak and failed continuously, which led to its failure.

Alexander Bach may not have the ability to coordinate a country, but a mayor seems a bit underappreciated, so Franz plans to hand over the Hungarian province to him.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Franz still appointed Heinau as the military chief of the Hungarian province.

Many people think that the previous civil war was too tragic, so the Hungarian issue should be avoided, but Franz thinks it is unnecessary. The Hungarian issue is on the table, and it is useless to avoid it. It is better to carry out drastic reforms directly.

As Alexander Bach promised Franz, he would turn the former Kingdom of Hungary into the Hungarian province.

After the reform, the areas that were originally under Hungarian administration all had the same rights and status as the Hungarian province.

From now on, it is almost impossible for Hungarians to pull the surrounding provinces to rebel together. Coupled with the continuous extension of railways, Hungary will eventually become a part of the Austrian Empire.

After the war, Franz's friends also came back one after another. Most of these people were scattered around the world by Franz before the beginning of the storm year.

But some people are so unruly, or too timid.

Wenglis Watson was originally sent to Tyrol by Franz, but this guy found that many royal families were taking refuge in the palace in Tyrol.

So he secretly contacted the French and wanted to cooperate with the emperor to make the princes let the German Confederation collapse without a fight, but he overestimated the fighting power of the French and underestimated the loyalty of the Tyroleans.

Wingris Watson was chopped into a meat paste by his angry Tyrolean soldiers, a meat paste in the physical sense, and the Watson family couldn't even collect his body.

Pellissier's expeditionary force ultimately failed to pass through the mountains of Switzerland.

Luca Ambras was a very easy-going person, but his family joined the so-called Italian coalition against the Austrian Empire.

The Ambras family was very powerful in northern Italy, but they happened to be among the privileged tyrants that Franz wanted to attack.

Of course, if they could accept the transformation with peace of mind, give up those gray and black industries, and no longer think about separatism, it would still be possible to keep the family safe.

But the Ambras family chose the most extreme approach, and they directly raised the flag of rebellion in Lombardy.

Luca Ambras wrote in his last letter to Franz:

"Blocking someone's wealth is like killing their parents, and destroying someone's job is like stealing money and killing them."

Franz was unmoved, and what he did was just routine.

Before, he might have had a trace of compassion and hoped that the other party would turn back in time, but after reading this letter, Franz had made up his mind to wipe out the Ambras family.

This old saying can be applied to Franz, but why not to the Ambras family? How many parents have been killed and how many tragedies have been caused by the rise of the Ambras family?

The Ambras family once had multiple bishops in northern Italy, and they controlled several wealthy parishes and hundreds of thousands of believers.

After continuous reproduction, the Ambras family finally became a theocratic family, but their actions were contrary to their oaths, and even made those gangs feel ashamed.

The Ambras family used the theocratic power in their hands to constantly make dirty deals, and they brainwashed ignorant believers into their own thugs, slaves, and assassins.

The industries involved in the Ambras family include but are not limited to: drug trafficking, human trafficking, arms smuggling, robbery, murder, forced prostitution, extortion, protection fees, and selling indulgences

The Ambras family often uses officials and gangs as a cover, and they hide behind to make money, so that they can wash away their responsibilities even if something happens.

When they met someone who refused to cooperate, they would issue a hunting order in the name of God. Those poor people who wanted to go to heaven or pay less rent often became the most persistent assassins.

If it was peacetime, this family would definitely be the most troublesome enemy, but among the countless powerful enemies that Franz had to face in 1848, they were not even ants.

Those dozens or hundreds of fanatics were not enough to fill the line on the front battlefield. The troops ordered to wipe out the Ambras family took only one day to wipe out this family with hundreds of years of history.

When the Ambras family was put on public trial, those believers who had originally placed high hopes on them all jumped out to expose their crimes. Thirty clerks took half a year to sort out the crimes committed by the Ambras family.

Facts have proved that the believers are not stupid, they are just suppressed.
