Chapter 743 Kidnapped

As one of the two allies of the Holy Alliance, Prussia also had a share in the division of Poland, but the center of the rebellion was obviously not on its own territory, so it was happy to watch the show.

Moreover, compared with the Poles, the Prussians felt that Austria was their biggest enemy. After all, a small Krakow really could not withstand an army of 300,000.

As for the Russians, it would take some time for the intelligence to reach St. Petersburg.

The new Polish Governor-General Wenbetrovsky was already fascinated by Warsaw, because it was a city with a very rich heritage.

Moreover, the biggest problem of Russian Poland at this time was not the Austrians or the Austrians, but cholera. Due to the cessation of the transportation of refugees to Austria, a large number of vagrants wandered in Russian Poland.

These people were the biggest source of chaos, and even if they were killed, their bodies would become a breeding ground for the plague.

At the same time, as more and more people became objects of expulsion, Russian Poland rarely experienced a shortage of labor.

Moreover, with the closure of the Russian-Austrian border and the spread of the cholera epidemic, the tax revenue in Russian Poland plummeted, and merchants dared not set foot here, which had a lot to do with the actual situation in the local area and the reputation of the Russians.

As for the Polish democratic system, everyone knows that absolute democracy means that no one can make the decision. This may be the reason why Landre Promi's claim to the throne made everyone unhappy, but no one opposed it.

However, the person who was in charge in theory was not there at this time, so the meeting naturally became a joke. Everyone had their own ideas, and no one was convinced by anyone else. In the end, it became a wild chat.

Four carriages loaded with goods quietly passed by on a country road that no one cared about.

In the refugee camps in the middle reaches of the Dniester River, the Poles were even more defeated. The king was obviously not as great as the emperor and God.

The refugees were still very clear about this, and they were either serfs or the bottom-level wandering race. They really couldn't love Poland at all.

Coupled with the role and visible benefits of the church and preachers, the Polish restorationists' riddled theory seemed even more pale and powerless.

You should know that these preaching masters selected by the church and the preachers trained by Franz usually travel around the country, facing people from nobles and big businessmen to beggars and prostitutes. They have met more nagging people than they have talked to, and they are extremely experienced in struggle.

These nails that the Polish Restoration Army drove into the Austrian refugee camps were either pulled out by the refugees, or left on their own, or were taken away by the secret police of the Austrian Empire after losing their value, and were either executed, reformed, or used as guinea pigs.

Ruibi and Ace, the brother and sister, also arrived in Galicia. The once dirty and lame boy has now put on a clean white robe. As a preaching master, the senior preacher of the empire sat confidently in the carriage.

The little girl who used to be a hound and competed with dogs for food was now wearing a loose nun's uniform and casually crossed her legs, but every time the carriage was bumpy, a metal friction sound would inadvertently come from her body.

"Rubby, do you need to carry so many weapons every day?"

Ace asked his sister with some concern. He was still very confident about the security of the Austrian Empire. After all, the church and the government would send people to protect such capable and important people.

Rubby put her hands behind her head impatiently and said with a little resentment.

"Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and just now, if it wasn't for me, you would have died. There were assistants from the Polish Restoration Army in the management of the refugee camp, and those guys brought guns in.

Do you know how dangerous the situation was at that time!"

Ace wanted to touch his sister's head, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was caught by the latter, and then a hidden blade was placed on the former's neck.

Rubby raised his hand to retract the hidden blade, and then raised his chin.

"People are treacherous! Brother Ace."

Then she was hit on the head.

"Who is your brother? Call me brother."

"Brother, brother, good brother. Haha!" Ribi pounced on Ace like a spoiled child, and the latter said with a doting face.

"Why don't you grow up? Hey, you'd better not do that kind of thing."

Rui Biteng stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "How can that be? We can't disappoint the expectations of the bishop and the empire."

"Do you still remember the Ten Commandments?"

"Of course, I can recite them by heart."

"God said 'You shall not kill', why are you still stubborn? Isn't it better to go to the monastery to worship?"

"No! If everyone hides and doesn't care about the world, what will happen to the world? When we were in Silesia, we didn't dare to slack off for a moment every year, and we didn't do anything bad.

But dogs eat meat, livestock eat grain, and we only have potatoes! Potatoes! Still potatoes! Ah, no, if we are lucky, we can also eat wild vegetables and mice.

What did our family do wrong? My mother starved to death, my father died of illness, and we just went to the public forest to pick up some unwanted, useless sticks as firewood, but we were chased by dogs, stripped naked and whipped!

It's not our fault!"

Ace sighed.

"God will punish them."

Rui Bi asked with a sneer.

"Ten years, or a hundred years?"

The former looked into the latter's eyes and said.

"You can't go to heaven with hatred, you should learn to forgive"

"I am only responsible for sending them to see God, as for forgiving them is God's business."

"May God bless you, my sister."

"May he bless you, my brother."

The preaching was still very successful, and the young priest gained a large number of believers. In an unknown corner, a young girl was using a guillotine to cut off the enemy's fingers until the other party gave the answer she wanted.

The serfs' carnival has spread to the vicinity of Krakow. Although some people are eager to try this city, there is still a big gap between the ancient city that has stood for thousands of years and the fortress of the landlords. It is almost impossible to conquer it with cold weapons.

However, this did not affect the lords in Krakow to get nervous and use their brains. After some bargaining, General Bem and his officers were finally released.

In fact, in addition to facing the restless serfs, they also had to face the Austrian army that would arrive soon.

Franz and Stadion's armies have joined forces, but the former is not ready to end too soon. He is going to visit Dorobichi at the invitation of the Yasuski family.

As for the task of besieging the city, it was naturally handed over to Count Stadion. However, there was no need to be short of one person. Just camp five kilometers away from the city.

For a vanguard of nearly 100,000 people, it was very troublesome to camp alone, and the daily material consumption was even more astronomical. Fortunately, there were railway lines and canals to support it.

Franz only brought 5,000 people on this trip, but it was enough to crush the guards of the Yasuski family.

Of course, the former was not for fun, and the latter did not want to treat guests. A Hongmen Banquet was about to come.
