Without waiting for a result to be negotiated, the news that the city defense had returned to Vienna and had begun to suppress the rebellion reached the Hofburg Palace.

The negotiations came to an impasse directly, the balance of power between the two sides changed, the initiative in the negotiations was displaced, and the Vienna court was no longer in a hurry to reach an agreement.

The conditions put forward by the bourgeoisie are a disgrace in the eyes of these grand dukes, and if they do not have a choice, for the sake of their lives, they may still be able to pinch their noses and admit it.

Now the main force of the city defense army has returned, and the troops around Vienna are also on their way, and there is a regiment of troops in the palace to guard it.

By this time the danger had disappeared, everyone's minds had changed, and Archduke Louis was not willing to compromise with the capitalists.

Even if there is a need for political reform, it is very important that they take the initiative to do so, rather than be forced to do so.

……

The counterinsurgency was faster than Franz had imagined. A rabble is a rabble, and their first reaction when they encounter a counterinsurgency army is not how to defeat the enemy but to run away.

There was no way, at first the rebels organized several resistances, and they were frightened by the city defense army. Albrecht also deliberately let the rout go, and the fear of defeat was transmitted.

At the same time as the military offensive, Franz also took a political offensive, declaring in his capacity as crown prince: the first evil will be investigated, and the threat will never be asked.

At this time, the Habsburgs were still very marketable in Austria, and with Franz's assurance, many rebel soldiers who were coerced in it surrendered neatly.

The citizens of Vienna, who had been plagued by the rebels, now took the initiative to provide convenience for the counterinsurgency army, and left the people to support the rebels, and they have become rootless.

Although the counterinsurgency army was going well, Franz could not be happy, and looking at the broken and broken buildings, he knew that Vienna's economy had been set back by at least five years after this battle.

But at this time, Franz didn't have time to grieve, what else did he have to reassure the people? After being plagued by the rebels, the hearts of the Viennese people were fragile.

As the crown prince, Franz naturally wanted to bring them spring-like warmth at this time and save them from their pain.

"Grand Duke, the road to the palace has been opened!" The guard said excitedly

Franz smiled slightly, this is good news, it means that the overall situation has been decided, the rebels have not been able to control the emperor, then defeat is a foregone conclusion.

"Send a message to His Majesty the Emperor, and I'll go over after I've dealt with this matter!"

Politics is dark, in order to reap the fruits of maximum victory. Franz had to put down the rebellion and stabilize the situation in the city before returning with the threat of a great victory.

Otherwise, in the past now, the Regency Committee will compete with him for the lead, and in the face of power, he has no interest in gambling on the character of these politicians.

Apparently, Franz did not yet know that Prime Minister Metternich had run away, that the Count of Kollot was not in the palace, and that only the Grand Duke Louis and his father were left in the Regency Council.

At this time, even if Archduke Louis wants to snatch the dominance, he can't do it? Unless Ferdinand I himself went into battle, the biggest political capital to be reaped in this rebellion belonged to Franz.

……

A young man urged urgently: "Father, let's go, it's too late!" ”

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy, he looked at his manor, and reluctantly got into the carriage.

That's right, this is one of the big capitalists behind this rebellion, Owen, who has lost his former vigor at the moment, as if he is a teenager old.

The city defense army had just returned to quell the rebellion, and they had not taken it seriously, and in just a few days, the number of rebels had expanded to more than 50,000 people.

But as soon as they fought, everyone knew it was going to be over. When they let go of their hands and feet, how can this rabble be the opponent of the regular army?

Unlike the initial rebellion, the soldiers were still very afraid of them and did not dare to attack them harshly.

At this time, the style of painting completely changed, and the cannon was taken out and bombarded directly at the crowded place. Where had they seen such a battle, and they had already lost in a daze before they could react.

"I don't know when I'll be able to come back again. The family business that has worked hard for decades is lost in one day! Owen said with a sigh

"At this time, why are you still talking so much, it's a big deal to change places and make a comeback!" The young man said indifferently

If it weren't for the sorrow between his eyebrows, I really thought he wouldn't care.

Although capital knows no borders, in fact, in this era, it is not so easy to start a new business in a different place.

Without the connections that have been operated for a long time, when you go to a strange place, you will be swallowed up by others.

They have not done such things less, and it can be said that all the primitive accumulation of capital is bloody.

It stands to reason that a big capitalist like Owen has no reason to personally participate in the revolution. It's a pity that when the price was high before, they invested too much money, and they wanted to make a lot of money, but they didn't expect to put the old capital into it.

If they do not launch a revolution, most of their industries will become the pockets of the banks, and their vitality will be greatly damaged and decayed.

The interests are moving, and at the encouragement of his peers, Owen decided to give it a go, and if he failed, it was a big deal to run away.

At this time, now they are really going to run away. If he continued to stay in Austria, even if the government did not trouble him, his colleagues who had suffered heavy losses would have killed them.

This rebellion would intensify internal contradictions in a short period of time, and in addition to Franz's arrangement, the infighting of the capitalists was also a reason.

Even at such times, capitalists want to attack their competitors so that they can monopolize the market on their own.

Borrowing a knife to kill people is naturally the best choice. Take advantage of the opportunity of the revolution to loot the wealth of the opponent, even take it with their lives, and then dump the blame on the government army.

If the revolution succeeded, then their plan would have succeeded. Unfortunately, in the end, the success fell short, and seeing that things could not be done, before the rebellion could be suppressed, the smart man ran away.

In Austria, as long as there is money, most things can be settled, with the exception of rebellion.

At this time, even if you have money, you can't give it away. As long as it is involved, do not expect the Vienna government to relent.

It was not only Owen and his sons who ran away, but all those involved, whether they were capitalists, aristocrats, or politicians who wanted to speculate, fled the whirlpool of Vienna at this time.
