The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 780 Statistics
In another room of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Princess Olga was reciting a love poem sent by Franz repeatedly.

"Waiting for the clouds after a rain, waiting for the brightest star, waiting for you and I to meet again." (Latin)
Although the content is obscure, Princess Olga has already imagined a lot of reasons why Franz had to do this.

In fact, it is shameful to say that as the daughter of the Russian Tsar, the 24-year-old has yet to receive a true love letter.

Most of the love letters that Olga received before were written by her brothers to tease her. Even if there were real ones, she burned them all as pranks.

Only Queen Alexandra is worried, because in three years her daughter will be 27, an old lady almost unheard of in the royal family.

But the daughter is happy, the husband is ecstatic with those iron bumps, and the sons are bouncing around like monkeys. She has nothing to do but hope that everything goes well.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

The statistical report of the battle of Galicia came out.

This includes important data such as battle losses on both sides, property losses, the number of people killed by the Polish Restoration Army, and the number of nobles who conspired with the Polish Restoration Army.

Civilian casualties in Galicia and the newly naturalized Krakow area totaled more than 10, the vast majority of whom were serfs, and the rest were mainly Krakow citizens who refused to be coerced, including the former mayor of Krakow and nineteen MPs.

During the entire Battle of Galicia, the garrison, gendarmerie, police, and militia suffered a total of more than 1300 casualties, of which all 150 garrisons in the Calvaria Fortress were killed.

In Krakow, 51 police officers and 249 government officials died in the line of duty. The Austrian Empire posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to them and issued pensions in accordance with the standards of the same level in the country.

This kind of behavior is actually buying horse bones with a lot of money. The relatives of these officials in Krakow, they don't know when their deceased relatives became Austrian officials.

But they had just escaped from death and naturally could not refuse this wealth that fell from the sky. This money was not only to appease the old forces, but also to set an example for the new forces in the city, making them understand the benefits of obedience and the cost of resistance.

After discussion, the top leaders of the Austrian Empire decided not to take back the status of Krakow as a free city. In fact, this is also a helpless move. After all, it is not good to blatantly violate the rules and regulations of the German Customs Union.

Moreover, a free city under Austrian control is more valuable than a ruin that has lost its status as a transportation and commercial hub.

In this battle, the Austrian Imperial Expeditionary Force suffered 173 casualties, killed 4788 foreign separatist forces, and captured 25674 people.

However, according to the customs of this era, except for the three people who committed the most heinous crimes and were hanged by Ferdinand I personally signing the order, the rest were sentenced to hard labor and exile.

Fortunately, Franz solved some troubles through the public trial in advance, otherwise those people might not have received the punishment they deserved at all.

Of course, the so-called public trials cannot be made public, so those things can only be done by the people on their own initiative, and the Austrian army cannot stop it, that's all.

In fact, the scale of hard labor and exile in the Austrian Empire was very broad.Hard labor can range from mowing lawns in a Viennese park to digging coal in a mine.

Similarly, exile can go to international metropolises such as Paris, Vienna, and London, or to resorts such as the beaches of Venice or the snow-capped mountains of the Alps, or even to the tropical rainforests of the Congo, the no-man's land of Dalmatia, or the vast expanses of Namibia. The desert is a restricted area of ​​life.

As for how to make a judgment, it depends entirely on the judge and the meaning of the higher-ups. Naturally, Franz doesn't want to face a group of unbeatable Xiaoqiang all day long.

Even if ten years of mining life could not physically eliminate those rebels, their ambitions would probably be buried deep underground.

However, it is cruel and wasteful to exile directly to let people die. It may be a good choice to fill the colonization points in the African interior.

These deep inland colonies can be said to be dragon pools and tiger dens, with an annual death rate of more than 10% is normal, and some are even taken away by floods, plagues, earthquakes, and waves of indigenous people.

At this time, the pioneer life in the interior of Africa was like this. It was still farming, hunting, and beating up the natives, but the level of danger was more than ten times higher.

These deep inland colonies often do not even have the primary production capacity, and everything has to start from scratch in the wilderness to survive, and almost all tools and weapons come from limited supplies.

And the supply teams usually only come once every few months. The same problem may not be a problem in the mainland, but it is just a small trouble in the coastal settlements, but it is a terrible thing in these front-line colonies.

Venomous insects and ferocious beasts are almost everywhere in the jungle, and they are even more difficult to find and deadly in the coastal plains.

At the same time, these areas are also a paradise for diseases and bacteria. Even if the vegetation near the settlement is destroyed by fire, new spores will soon come with the wind.

The indigenous people are not much of a threat in coastal areas. The number of colonists can almost solve all problems if they exceed 100. The exchange ratio between the two sides is usually above 1:10, and the colonists are almost invincible.

But when it comes to the jungle, it's a completely different situation. The aboriginals operating alone or on a small scale are more difficult to deal with than the coalition forces of several large aboriginal tribes.

Moreover, the aborigines who lived in the jungle usually refused to communicate, and the colonists could not communicate with them. The aborigines just regarded the pioneers as a dangerous food.

As for plowing and clearing holes like in coastal areas, it is almost impossible because the jungle terrain is complex, and there are primitive traps in swamps, mire, and ground cracks. They may swallow human lives at any time, and it is almost impossible to pursue them continuously. impossible.

Franz felt that those Polish resurgents probably had no intention of starting a rebellion in a place like this, and as long as they wanted to survive, they had to rely on the Austrian supply team, and they needed Austrian ships if they wanted to return to Europe.

Of course, Franz will never give people hope. These people can also end their exile career as long as they have served for ten years. new sentence.

But all of this is based on the premise that they can survive. If they can't survive, this is just a painting.

Even more difficult to deal with than these prisoners were those "Polish nobles who might be induced to rebel".

Although Franz had used various methods to deal with a large number of them before, the serfs were not professional butchers after all.

In fact, a large number of relics have been left behind. According to the traditional Austrian government, the Austrian government cannot do anything to them. After all, everyone is aristocratic.

Although the Polish aristocracy had its own circle and usually did not mix with the original Austrian aristocratic circle, there were inevitably a few exceptions.
