Chapter 912 Negative Example
Back to Vienna at this moment.
"Why are you here?"
At this time, Heinau had already won the game, but he was not interested in answering Lieutenant General Morka's questions. He only had one word in his mind.
"Kill!"
"What? You dare!"
Lieutenant General Morka obviously did not expect this to happen. He felt that he had surrendered and was a nobleman. No matter what, he should not die here, right?
At this moment, it was just a delaying tactic of Lieutenant General Morka. His real trump card has not yet appeared! Could it be that Heinau, this rough man! This lowly bastard discovered his secret?
"This is impossible!"
Lieutenant General Morka roared in his heart and struggled to shout.
"Why do you kill me? Why do you execute me without trial and consent of the House of Nobles? I am a noble! I demand a fair trial! You damn Jewish bastard! You have no right to judge me!"
"Traitors have no right to be tried! What are you waiting for?"
Heinau looked at the soldiers on the side, and those soldiers immediately felt a chill. They were helpless, after all, the other party was a noble lord, and they were just a group of poor soldiers.
If the authorities wanted to investigate, they would probably not do anything to Heinau, who was also a noble lord, and they would be the ones who suffered in the end.
Lieutenant General Morka was also a smart man, and he understood the psychology of these low-level soldiers very well, otherwise he would not have been able to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in Vienna, but he used his intelligence and connections in the wrong place.
"You dare?! Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, you will die! My family will crush you like a bug!"
Lieutenant General Morka was not bragging, those ordinary soldiers were indeed like ants in his and his family's eyes.
However, this could not save him at this time. Heinau had very strict requirements for military discipline. After a brief hesitation, those soldiers lifted Lieutenant General Morka up and dragged him to the temporary execution ground without saying anything.
Here is an explanation of why Heinau appeared in Vienna so quickly, because his troops did not enter Italy at all, and he was sent back to Vienna by Franz after the battle in the Bernese Valley.
In fact, there was only one reason why Franz chose Heinau to return to Vienna, that is, to take the blame.
The latter's identity is too sensitive, which is usually a disadvantage, but it has a unique advantage in taking the blame.
Jew, illegitimate child, foreign visitor, each identity is easy for people to associate some bad things with it.
Yes, this pot can only be taken by Heinau, he is the most suitable candidate.
Archduke Karl and Albrecht knew that Franz wanted to liquidate the old nobles in Vienna, and they also supported it. They were even willing to sacrifice themselves to complete this great cause.
Franz did not have the courage to bear the sin, but they were not suitable, they were all royal family.
In this era, the royal family is still too important to Austria as a country, and there is no way to sacrifice it easily.
This sacrifice is necessary for the country, but for Heinau personally, it is actually more beneficial than harmful.
Although Heinau was notorious in history, the killing and destruction he caused were very limited.
The reason why his reputation was so bad was entirely due to the political needs of later generations. The Kingdom of Sardinia had to cover up its dynastic war behavior, and the Hungarians also needed such a brutal person to reflect the justice of their separatist behavior.
The entire Brescia incident was Heinau's revenge on the Italian rebels out of anger. It was the latter who violated morality first and killed the Austrian wounded in the church.
Heinau led his army to revenge and refused the other side to surrender. This kind of revenge by refusing to surrender is not uncommon in the history of human wars.
For example, he refused the surrender of the Ma family army for revenge for the Western Route Army, and the Soviet Red Army refused the surrender of the SS.
As for Heinau's so-called Arad executioner, it was even more humorous. After pacifying Hungary, he reported nearly a thousand Hungarians who participated in the rebellion, which was about two thousandths of the actual number of people who participated in the rebellion.
However, what happened next was even more shocking. Among them, 153 people were guilty of betrayal, and after review, it was decided to sentence 27 people to death.
However, 14 of the 27 people were not in Hungary at the time, and the Austrian imperial government had no choice but to use straw men instead of execution.
In the end, this trial that was supposed to deter the scoundrels became an international joke. What's more ironic is that the Austrian imperial government later reached a settlement with those criminals who should have been executed.
Most of these people later became high-ranking officials of the empire and occupied a large number of important positions. Among them, Count Andrassy became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria and the Prime Minister of Hungary, and even became the rumored lover of Princess Sissi.
Even the plots that those crooked novels dare not write have appeared in reality.
Franz didn't want this joke to happen again, so Vienna would inevitably be a river of blood.
First of all, it was this rebel army. It is not ruled out that some people were coerced, but the fact that they left the barracks and marched towards the palace with weapons was enough to sentence them to death.
As for the parade that no one could persuade, they also committed unforgivable atrocities. Whether it was the atrocities that occurred during the march or the subsequent contempt for the imperial power and the attack on the palace, Franz was not qualified to forgive them for others.
The law should not be applied at all times. The situation in Austria and France is different. In the eyes of most soldiers, this is naked betrayal. They don't have much sympathy for the people of Vienna.
Especially after witnessing the tragic deeds of those veterans, whether they are sad for the death of the rabbit or filled with indignation.
In short, the army can no longer have any sympathy for the mobs in front of them. They only think of one thing at this time, that is, to kill all the enemies in front of them, at least not to let them kill themselves.
The temporary parade team cannot fight against the regular army, and the gang members with some combat effectiveness among them do not have the strength to fight against the regular army.
If it is a street fight or hiding behind the barricades and shooting, the two sides may still be deadlocked for a while, but the situation at this time just reversed, the regular army occupied the home advantage, and set up an ambush without martial ethics.
The battle or massacre did not last too long. The city defense army led by Lieutenant General Morka who arrived later was the same. They hardly made any decent resistance.
In fact, most people did not have the idea of resistance, because they felt that they would be forgiven and should be forgiven.
However, what awaited them this time was a death sentence without trial, and soon the gallows on the execution ground were not enough.
Because Vienna had never executed so many death sentences in one day in its history, so new gallows had to be built temporarily.
There were enough priests responsible for listening to the dying confessions, but the church was completely on the side of Austria at this time.
The dying confessions of those people would be processed artistically and then compiled into a book, becoming a negative example for future generations.
