Chapter 86, ready to kill the sheep

Attacking the heart is the best, and attacking the city is the best.

Many people understand this principle, but very few can really do it. Julius did a very good job this time, and probably no one can connect him with the Butcher General again.

Liberating serfs and dividing the land were all powerful tools to win over the people’s hearts. Even if these lands still require farmers to pay for redemption, Julius still gained a wave of people’s expectations.

After local people knew that they could obtain land for free by cooperating with the government forces to suppress the rebellion, farmers near Budapest spontaneously became volunteers.

The Kosut government has limited execution capabilities and they cannot block the news even if there is only one in three areas.

After the news of the land was passed to the city, many people's minds changed. The nobles gritted their teeth with hatred, the capitalists were trembling, while the workers at the bottom saw new hope.

Since the Austrian government's bill on farmers has been fulfilled, the protection bill against the working class is naturally possible.

Against this background, the intelligence organization in Franz's hands also took action. Seeing that the broken ship of the Hungarian Republic was about to sink, there were many people who were unwilling to be buried with them.

Even if the great nobles were angry with the Austrian government's actions, they now had to pinch their noses and accept it. Their family had a great cause and were reluctant to fight for their lives.

With the cooperation of these local snakes, the work of the intelligence organization was carried out very smoothly. The Kosut government, which had no experience in governing, was blinded by these things.

Perhaps it was because of the tragedy of secret police. As soon as the revolutionaries came to power, these organizations were abolished. The public security in Budapest is now maintained by the domestic self-defense forces, and this force has become a thug for capitalists and nobles.

If it continues, maybe in three to five months, the Austrian government can liberate Budapest without any bloodshed.

Vienna

"Your Highness, the Croatian Legion has successfully met with the Bohemia Legion in Budapest. The Hungarian War is over. If we drag it on like this, it will be very unfavorable for us!" Prince Wendyschgratz said seriously.

He did not exaggerate the reason why the rebels were a mob because they had a hasty rebellion and had no formal training at all.

Such enemies can be easily handled by regular troops. If the time goes by, these mobs will not be so easy to deal with after completing the training.

Historically, the Hungarian Revolution took so much energy from Austria and needed the help of the Russians to suppress it, which was because they had too much preparation time.

"Well, since that's the case, then launch an attack and order the troops to restrain the army. I don't want to wipe their butts!" Franz said cautiously.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Prince Wendyschgratz replied

"Prime Minister, how are you preparing for the aftermath? Once the Hungarian Revolution is suppressed, how will the government prepare to govern the Hungarian region?" Franz asked with concern.

Prime Minister Felix replied confidently: "Your Majesty, considering the special circumstances of Hungary, our cabinet is ready to further split the Hungarian province, with the Tisa River and the Danube River as the boundary.

They are: the West Hungarian province west of the Danube, with the provincial government located in Peppa; the Central Hungarian province east of the Danube and west of the Tisa River, with the provincial government located in Miskoltz; and the East Hungarian province east of the Tisa River, with the provincial government located in Debrecen.

Add to the divided provinces of Croatia, Transylvania, Slavonia, Vojvodi, and the Kingdom of Hungary that have been divided into seven.

After the war, the Magyar gathering places were also divided into three parts. The government will also invest a lot of money in local education to help local people integrate into the Austrian family as soon as possible."

Franz nodded with satisfaction, and after the administrative region split and the language and culture assimilation, this combination of punches will be a regional noun. Decades later, Hungary will be just a regional noun.

"How to solve the education funding?" Franz asked with concern.

The wartime economic system that Austria is now developing, which is the so-called planned economy, has confiscated a large amount of reactionary property, so naturally it is not short of money.

This economic model is only suitable for short-term emergency response or a reckless outbreak. As the system becomes rigid, it will restrict the development of the economy. At that time, it will inevitably practice and restore the normal economic model.

If the central government wants to allocate funds, the government's fiscal pressure will be too great after the economy returns to normal. After all, Hungary needs to be assimilated, and other Austria needs to be assimilated.

"Your Highness, we are planning to abolish the church tithe tax and instead impose the compulsory education tax on the government to solve the funding gap!" Felix said hesitantly.

Franz's eyes lit up. He had long wanted to abolish the tithes of the church, but as a "devote" of the Catholic Church, if there was no suitable reason, the abolition of the tithe would be against the church.

Now that the Prime Minister has proposed it, Franz naturally agrees with it. If the church has any objections, go and ask the cabinet for trouble. This is what they proposed, and Franz thought it very unscrupulously.

Anyway, this era is no longer the Middle Ages, and the pope was exiled by the Revolutionary Party, and the church could not defeat the government. Of course, they could still do it to corrupt a person's reputation.

"Is the funds enough? In the future, a lot of education funds will be invested in all parts of the country. Is the tithe tax enough?" Franz asked worriedly.

Felix said fiercely: "Your Majesty, the religious people in the country are seriously degenerating. As devout believers of God, it is necessary for us to calm down the bad habits of the church.

The cabinet is preparing to conduct a strict investigation of church personnel, severely punish church personnel who violate the precepts, and confiscate illegal property of the church.

We will use all of this money to the education industry, and with the compulsory education tax, I believe that Austria's compulsory education funding is enough."

Anyway, he had offended the church once, so he simply gave up and continued to catch the fat sheep of the church.

In the mid-19th century, how rich was the Austrian church? It is difficult to have an accurate answer to this question. Anyway, after so many years of accumulation, the church is much richer than the Austrian government.

An ordinary man is innocent and he is guilty of possessing a treasure.

More money may not be a good thing, and now it is targeted by the Austrian government. Franz, a "devoted Catholic", naturally has to clean up the door for God.

"The Prime Minister's words are justified, and the moral cultivation of religious personnel must be strengthened. As believers of God, we have the obligation to help God's servants who are on the wrong path and guide them back on the right track!!"
