Austria 1840

Chapter 31: Intermarriage of nobles and concubines, the royal family is bothered

Archduke Karl rested in Budapest for three or four days, and then began his journey to check the effect of military reforms, and continued down the Danube.

Of course with little Carl.

Along the way, he is also communicating with the royal family about Princess Maria's marriage.

Regarding the matter of Princess Maria, the Habsburg side also received a formal marriage proposal from Miller on behalf of Schmidt.

Of course, in order to be recognized by the Habsburg family, it is indispensable for Princess Maria to go back and fight against the rotten elements at home. If the rottenness is not so pleasant, it can also be called a traditional lover.

Overall, the Habsburg family's reply to Miller is also interesting.

First of all, it is clear that this is a case of intermarriage of nobles and concubines. Refer to the famous case of intermarriage of nobles and concubines, which was created by the Grand Duke of John in 1829.

Princess Maria also has to give up some royal privileges.

Of course, the terms related to certain territories are coordinated with Hungary. After all, this Schmidt belongs to the Kingdom of Hungary. Although he is also from the Austrian Empire, Hungary will not be too entangled in this small issue.

Regarding the transfer of soldiers, of course, I will refer to the opinion of the Grand Duke Karl, and even the transfer is completely according to the intention of the Grand Duke Karl.

The first rule is to promote Schmidt's title first, from baron to viscount, and this viscount is the eldest son of Schmidt's ex-wife.

On the surface, that means, how can such a powerful royal noble like us take advantage of you? In fact, this little broken baron, I really don't like it, I'll give you a section that will make you feel so moved.

In fact, the promotion of the title is a benefit without cost. Well, the Habsburg family is regarded as the largest retail and wholesaler in Europe, retailing during normal times and wholesale during wartime.

The second rule, which is different from Schmidt's original plan, is to let the eldest son of his ex-wife go to Pressburg. Of course, the royal family will not take advantage of you, and they will buy you a few thousand acres from the surrounding area. In fact, it is Maria's private house money.

The meaning of the expression is that although this place is smaller in size, it is not bad in the nooks and crannies of the mountains in Binovisad. To be honest, the land on the front line of Ottoman Turkey has been fought over and over, and the harvest on the land is very unstable. of.

As for the third rule, Schmidt was promoted to colonel.

However, he also gave a performance task in private, that is, to return to Novi Sad to continue the raid, at least to lay down three times the current territory from the Ottoman Empire, and promised to give Schmidt a fief within five times.

These attacks and the original tens of thousands of acres of mountains are regarded as Schmidt's fiefs, which will be passed on to the eldest son of the princess in the future, and promised to give the title of an earl to the eldest son of the princess.

Of course, the excuse for provocation is made by oneself. Before the official diplomatic dispute, it is settled by oneself. However, for Schmidt, it is not difficult to start a war. The dispute with Ottoman Turkey can be provoked at any time.

As for diplomatic disputes, it's even less of a problem. Sometimes the border line on the other side is ten miles away, and they don't even know about it, or pretend they don't know.

Who wants to talk about these disputes. If they talk about it, they will poke them into it, but they can't take advantage of it. Isn't that uncomfortable? So pretending to be deaf and dumb is sometimes forced by the situation.

In short, the benefits of marrying the princess are the name and position. As for profit, we are so high-end and high-end, you talk about profit, are you embarrassed?

Well, from now on, you will be part of my Habsburg family. I will cover you when you have something to do, and you can work hard normally. Well, I am usually fine, and it is a major event, so go ahead and charge.

Well, I can only think about the promotion of a baron to a viscount, but don't think about it as a duke or a marquis, unless there is another great contribution in the future, helping the distressed, quelling rebels and thieves, and expanding territory.

These ten miles and eight miles are not truly pioneering, let alone, nominally, it is still a family business that you earn for yourself. If it is just the original tens of thousands of acres of mountains, it is not worthy of the title you have upgraded. Would you be embarrassed not to work hard?

In addition, as to what Princess Maria said about simplifying the marriage ceremony, the Habsburg family did not agree. It must be done according to the rules and procedures.

We are lovers of tradition, real aristocrats in the European continent. In the eyes of the Habsburgs, the French aristocracy has declined, the Prussian aristocracy is a bit of a nouveau riche, and Russia, the gang of rough men, not to mention.

We are in high spirits now, dominating the continent, and we don’t lack money for procedures and ceremonies. We must make a move so that the decaying, upstart, and rough guys can learn something.

Fortunately, the two sisters, Amary and Elizabeth, both went to the family authorities to blow air, and the family finally decided to simplify the princess's wedding etiquette process.

But the real implementation will be after Maria gets married, that is, the next princess gets married.

In fact, the main reason is that the income of the Habsburg family's royal estate cannot keep up with the pace of spending, and they also want to reduce expenses.

Maria's marriage this time is a matter of face, and those traditional lovers can only reluctantly spend money.

Of course Schmidt knew what it meant, but it was to bring the eldest son of his ex-wife closer to the core area of ​​Austria, and it was easier to be governed and controlled by the above; and he newly established the border region as the fief of the princess' eldest son, which was equivalent to increasing the territory of Austria.

But he will not refuse. First, he is a rational person and will not refuse the Habsburg family. Second, the conditions given by the Habsburgs are very good, and even irrational people may not refuse.

He has only studied for a few years, and he is a half-hearted scholar, so how can he be loyal to the Serbs? It was also a Serb who ransacked his family's fields and pavements and **** his father to death.

And now in work and life, Austrian speaks more than the Serb mother tongue, and it is smoother. There is no doubt that the people who will help him in his career in the future will be Austrian speakers.

Of course, the Serbs can't be devalued. They can also help, for example, by giving away people's heads, such as giving away land. It is also possible for Schmidt to become an official.

The old chief Miller is also very powerful. In addition to the three majors originally brought by Schmidt, Arnold was put in, and another civilian major Hoffman was brought in. He also reserved a place for his third son Richter, who was studying in the school. , intends to serve as Schmidt's staff, following two battles can be promoted to major.

Can Miller be good? He was also promoted to brigadier general. Now, if you brag with your old buddy again, you won't be embarrassed because you have been at the bottom of the military rank.

Because his rank remained unchanged to make way for the promotion of a baron to a viscount, this was the private operation of Duke Karl, and he could not make it public. Seeing his colleagues' rank being upgraded, he remained unmoved, and he felt uneasy in his heart.

It's okay to not be promoted to the military rank. Every time I meet in a meeting, I get ridiculed by the old guys. The taste is sour and refreshing.

After that, when I meet those old guys again, the sourness of being ridiculed is gone. Standing at a height suitable for both titles and ranks, looking down at them, the sweetness of victory will come.

The reason why he thought of transferring Schmidt to his hometown was also a decision made by old Carl during his inspection.

From Budapest down the Danube, it is both a population center and a defense center. Except for Osijek, it is Novi Sad, which is Schmidt's hometown.

Osijek is similar to Györ. As mentioned earlier, Györ is between Pressburg and Budapest, on a tributary of the Danube, but Osijek is at the mouth of the Drau River into the Danube.

Novi Sad is almost the largest city in the southern tip controlled by the Austrian Empire.

These two places are far from completely fulfilling the implementation requirements of the military reform as led by Brigadier General Miller.

Thinking of promoting Schmidt and arranging to go to Novi Sad to clean up while fighting, that would be the best way.

Those who do not follow the requirements will definitely suffer losses in offense and defense. After all, these measures are good things and advanced things summed up by old Karl and his colleagues.

As for the countermeasures, it goes without saying that if you should give it to your opponent to eat it, you should give it to your opponent to eat it. Anyway, you don't pay too much attention to being polite, courteous, thrifty and tolerant when fighting.

A few people die, especially a few disobedient ones, isn't that a common thing, or even a supposed thing?

So, an order was issued to directly ask Schmidt to come.

Of course, there are also factors encouraged by little Carl.

Little Carl thought about the body's eldest son, Archduke Ferdinand, who was killed by the Serbian slut. Just after that, there was a major incident of tens of millions of deaths.

The merciful and merciful little Carl immediately thought, he has to contain it. How to contain it? First, stop the Serbs from becoming bigger, and if they grow bigger, they will have greater ambitions, and then troubles will arise.

Bring it over to educate it first, it can be regarded as helping the old rival Ottoman Turkey.

The size of the Serbs is too large, and the Ottomans are struggling to educate them. Now you educate a little, I will educate a little, and keep a little more for themselves, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to see whether it breeds ambition or suffocates to be a Buddhist.

People, they are always the most cruel to their own people.

Schmidt was transferred to the south by military order and came to his hometown of Novi Sad. Well, he came to his hometown to make trouble.

With advanced concepts and advanced weapons, combined with his own practical experience in making his fortune here, he quickly pushed the border by more than 10 kilometers to Ingia, Ruma and Sremska on the Sava River. Mitrovica.

The line on the right bank of the Danube even pushed to the old Pazowa for a time, and the line along the Sava River was the most ferocious, and it was pushed to Shabac for a time, that is, both lines were pushed to Belgrande's defense focus. But they were all beaten back by Turkey.

Of course, it didn't hurt either. Several thorns were wiped out by the Ottoman Turks. The following guys who were going to disarm the airborne executives immediately fell silent and were very obedient.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness, Schmidt, an old scumbag, encouraged his old subordinates Major Arnold and Major Hoffman, who were also civilians, to use the stolen money to bully orphans and widows, and destroy the mountains of several dead thorns in the mountains. All bought.

Of course, they eat meat, and they also give some soup to the original gang of soldiers.

The basic principle is this: those who cooperate early should drink soup early, and those who cooperate more should drink more soup; those who do not cooperate will be fine, then give it to the Ottoman Turkey, and their officers can drink soup.

In this way, the thorns are gone, and the two fellows also have land here, and they work harder. It turns out that the military leader also cooperated calmly.

Soon Miller's third son, Richter, came over. All those who have studied are great talents, and it is too selfish to use them alone, so they can only be placed in the staff.

Although he is a captain, everyone knows that he is the son of Brigadier General Miller. Who would underestimate him.
