After Horn finished speaking, William's face turned blue and white, and it was obvious that Horn's answer made him very dissatisfied.
But fortunately, these days, William is no longer as irrational as before, indeed, since someone dares to do such a vicious attack on Du Li, then he must be quite hateful to Du Li, it is impossible for this kind of person not to know Du Li's identity.
And in the case of knowing Du Li's identity, he still dared to use such extreme means, obviously the enemy was fully prepared.
So William didn't go on to blame Horn anymore.
Seeing William's frown, Horn seemed to remember something, and then saw him take out a letter from his pocket and hand it to William "Your Majesty, this is from the Brandenburg Horse!"
With that, Horn handed the letter to William, who tore open the envelope and read it.
This letter was sent by Anna of Brandenburg, in which Anna expressed her shock at the assassination of Dourie, and Anna wrote many things afterwards to prove her innocence.
After reading the letter, which did not have much nutrition, William said to Horn: "By the way, Horn, have you sent someone to investigate whether Queen Anna had contact with suspicious people in the time before and after Dory's assassination?"
"Your Majesty, according to the schedule provided by Her Royal Highness's entourage, Her Royal Highness has not been in contact with any unknown person, and to some extent, Her Royal Highness has nothing to do with this assassination!"
Hearing Hornder's words, William's face looked a little better.
Although William had doubted Anna at first, it was too coincidental in terms of timing.
You must know that Du Li was assassinated after leaving Brandenburg, and the most suspicious person is this Royal Highness the Queen, in this case.
As long as it is a normal person, they will not choose this time to start!
What's more, Anna is still a very smart person.
"Your Majesty, in addition, there is an urgent message from Brandenburg, they hope that Your Majesty can rush back to Brandenburg as soon as possible, the government has asked the British for Hanover according to your request, but from the British side, the situation is not optimistic!
In addition, there have been some changes on the Austrian side, and the military department is considering the possibility of sending troops to Austria again!
” After Hornder's words were finished.
William was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some doubts: "What's going on, what's wrong with Austria?
I remember that when I came to Paretz, nothing unusual happened on the Austrian side!
” "Your Majesty.
It is like this, that His Royal Highness Alexander of Austria just decided to execute Franz last week, but who knows, at the scene of the execution of Franz.
Franz was rescued.
After that, chaos broke out in Vienna, and with the support of the Kaunitz family, Franz declared Alexander a rebel, and a fierce battle ensued in Vienna!
” After Horn finished speaking, William was already stunned. ..........................................................
The internal contradictions in Austria did not subside when Alexander became regent of Austria, and Franz and Alexander had fought fiercely for the throne, but Alexander was the victor.
But know why Alexander was able to become regent.
The reason for this was the swiftness of Alexander's march, if he had not taken advantage of the city's air defenses to take advantage of the city's air defense.
I'm afraid Alexander won't be able to win at all.
Although Vienna was conquered by Alexander in less than ten days, Alexandria was able to rely on the Hungarian army that had followed him when Alexandria entered Vienna.
Although Alexander later appointed his brother Archduke Karl as commander-in-chief of the Austrian army, this situation was not fundamentally reversed.
On the issue of Leopold II's death and the disposition of Franz, Alexander inevitably clashed with Karl.
Previously, Alexander had decided to put Franz under house arrest for life, and this did not happen before Leopold II's death, but after Franz attended Leopold II's funeral, the former crown prince colluded with the Kaunitz family and did something that made Alexander even more angry.
But if this was all there was to it, Alexander would not have decided to execute Franz, after all, Alexander also knew how much after-effects would be caused if Franz was executed.
But just because Alexander thought this way did not mean that others thought the same way, and Franz openly took to the streets of Vienna after the funeral of Leopold II, despite Alexander's ban, to rally with some people who supported him, which made Alexander a little unbearable with Franz.
"What's the matter, I have arranged more than two hundred soldiers around Franz, can't so many soldiers even look at one person!"
After receiving a report from his subordinates, Alexander was furious.
"Your Highness, although we sent someone to monitor His Highness Franz, but His Highness Franz was so cunning that he actually exchanged clothes with his attendants and left the residence, and by the time our people found out that something was wrong, His Highness Franz had already appeared on the streets of Vienna!"
The leader of the guards, who was in charge of Franz, spoke with difficulty as he faced the angry Alexander.
And at this time, Daniel also quickly came to the palace "Your Highness, no, Franz is stirring up the citizens' dissatisfaction with us in Vienna's City Hall Square, and even the soldiers we sent to capture Franz are being fended off by those citizens outside the Town Hall Square!
Even those townspeople chanted Long live Franz!
” Daniel's words added fuel to the fire and immediately set Alexander on fire.
"How dare he be so bold, well...
All right!
Since he wants long live, then I will let him go to hell and live long live!
Daniel immediately conveyed my order to send troops to arrest Franz, and those who dared to stop him were all regarded as Franz's accomplices, and if anyone dared to resist, then they would be dealt with as if they suppressed the rebellion!

” Alexander's words were not unscathing, considering that Franz was in Vienna's town hall.
In this case, Alexander still had to capture Franz strongly, and it was clear that he was no longer prepared to continue to tolerate Franz being presumptuous under his nose.
As Alexander's chief thinker and most trusted minister.
At this point, Daniel should have come forward and admonished Alexander, but Daniel did not do so.
Even the moment Daniel received the order to bow his head, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Daniel then led 3,000 Hungarian soldiers to the town hall in Vienna!
At this time, the Vienna City Hall was already crowded with people, and countless Viennese people surrounded the town hall and the nearby streets.
Seeing this, Daniel's mind was clear.
Obviously, this operation was planned, and as the biggest supporter behind Franz, the mastermind of Franz's contact with the people of Vienna was obviously the Kautz family.
"Everybody spread out for me.
On the orders of His Royal Highness the Regent, arrest the traitor Franz, and everyone get out of the way at once!
Otherwise, it will be regarded as a traitor!
” As Daniel spoke, he divided the army into two groups, one of which began to clear the outskirts while the other group of soldiers aimed at the large number of Viennese civilians gathered in front of them with loaded rifles.
"What are you fighting to capture His Highness Franz!
His Royal Highness is the heir to the Emperor!
You don't have the right to arrest!
” "We don't welcome Hungarian wolf cubs!
Hungarians, go back to your steppes!
” "Alexander killed his father and usurped the throne.
Everybody gets it!
” ...............................
After Daniel finished speaking.
There was a commotion among the Viennese crowd gathered in front of him, and Daniel's face sneered at the sight of this, and then Daniel's right arm was raised high "I'll count three times, and whoever doesn't get out of the way will all be guilty!"
But the Viennese who stood in front of Daniel still did not disperse, apparently believing that with the tens of thousands of Viennese people gathered here, the Hungarian army led by Daniel would not dare to really fire at them.
"One ........
Two........
Three...
Fire!
” The word fire that popped out of Daniel's mouth made everyone who heard it think that they had misheard, and that the guy had really given the order to fire.
After Daniel gave the order to open fire, although the Hungarian soldiers were also stunned.
But soon they remembered their mission, so the Hungarian soldiers opened fire on the Viennese, who had long been aiming!
"Bang.........
Bang bang" The sound of gunfire was incessant.
It wasn't until the Hungarian soldiers opened fire that the Viennese suddenly came to their senses, and the crowd panicked instantly, and countless people ran aimlessly, and in contrast to these Viennese, groups of Hungarian soldiers under the command of the officers advanced directly towards the town hall square, despite the chaotic crowd.
Franz and several people around him, who were on the town hall square, also immediately heard the loud noise and gunfire not far away.
Franz was shocked and said: "Those Hungarian military really opened fire!
How dare Alexander!
” And one of the people standing next to Franz said: "What would Alexander not dare, but Your Majesty, in this way, the situation will be in our favor, Alexander dared to order the massacre of the civilians of Vienna, this is simply God helping us!
If you save the Viennese as a savior, not only will the Viennese be grateful to you, but Alexander's reputation will be even more spurned by the people!
” "Alright, Dominic, it's time for me to step up!"
Standing beside Franz was none other than Kaunitz's second son, Dominique.
Anton.
Andres.
Feng.
Kautz-Ritterberg.

With that, Franz left the center of the town hall square, escorted by several stout men dressed as civilians.
After a while, in everyone's eyes, Franz was right in front of the Hungarian soldiers led by Daniel.
Seeing Franz's appearance, Daniel ordered the army to stop.
"Daniel, you are so mad that you dare to do such a vicious act in the face of the people of Austria!
God testifies that I will not forgive you!
” "Your Highness, if you want to forgive me.
I'm afraid there is no hope in this life!
” Daniel said disdainfully to the questioning Franz.
And at this moment, Franz turned to face the Viennese who had gradually calmed down behind him and said: "I am sorry to all of you, people of Vienna.
It is because of my willfulness that everyone is so brutally slaughtered!
Today even God is crying for Vienna, looking at the corpses and blood under our feet, I can't bear to say anything more!
If I can exchange myself personally for the salvation of the entire Viennese people, then I am duty-bound!
” After Franz finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Daniel's side, and watched coldly as Daniel commanded several Hungarian soldiers to rope his gloves.
And after the rope curryed favor, Franz immediately raised his hands tied with the ropes above his head and waved them at the Viennese who were watching all this.
Looking at Franz like a martyr who looked at death as home, Daniel's heart was very tired.
Of course, he did not order to send someone to stop Franz from continuing to put on a show.
However, Daniel's time was limited, so when the crowd erupted in cries and prayers, Daniel ordered Franz to be escorted towards the palace.
And just as Daniel escorted Franz back to the palace.
Archduke Karl, who was originally stationed outside the city, stopped Daniel with his army.
"Daniel, you are so bold that you dare to order the massacre of the people of Vienna!
You're not crazy!
” Karl turned pale and scolded Daniel.
And after Carl finished scolding, Daniel said with a calm face: "Everything I do is for the purpose of carrying out the tasks of His Royal Highness the Regent.
His Royal Highness.
Do you think I'm doing it wrong!
” After Daniel's words, Archduke Karl was obviously angry, and saw him pointing his finger at Daniel and scolding loudly; "I believe that the order for the massacre must not have been given by Alexander, good Daniel, do you know that what you have done today will make the people think of Alexander and our Habsburgs!
You're still Alexander's loyal dog, don't you even understand this kind of thing!
” "Your Highness, all I did was to capture Franz.
Right or wrong, I'm not arguing with you here.
I still have to rush to the palace as soon as possible, His Royal Highness Alexander is waiting for me, so please get out of the way immediately!
” Hearing Daniel's statement about capturing Franz, Karl exclaimed: "What's going on, why arrest Franz!"
Just as Karl was startling, Franz, who had been stuffed into the carriage by Daniel before, also showed up and said to Karl: "Carl, my good brother!
Behold, I went out on one trip, and Alexander slew hundreds of the people of Vienna, and that is the ruler you are going to support!
Not long after my father died, Alexander dared to create such a tragedy, can't this make you wake up!
” "Come on, gag Franz's mouth for me, I won't hear him talk nonsense!"
"Who dare!"
The latter sentence was shouted by Karl, although judging from Franz's face, Franz was not hurt, but when Franz stretched out his bound hands out of the carriage, even Karl couldn't help but feel a little indignant. ..........................................
Later, in the Imperial Palace in Vienna, Karl and Alexander argued, although Alexander was a little shocked to learn that Daniel had ordered the killing of hundreds of civilians in order to capture Franz, but after all, he had given the order to capture Franz at all costs.
While Alexander and Karl were arguing, Franz, who had been released, was fanning the flames, and Alexander, who was enraged by Franz's attitude, decided to execute Franz, although Karl tried his best to persuade him later, but Alexander, who had obviously been provoked by Franz, did not listen to it at all.
Later that evening, Franz was escorted by a group of Hungarian soldiers to a wasteland outside Vienna.
The news of Franz's imminent execution soon spread throughout Vienna, and it was obviously impossible to say that there were no people with intentions in it, and a large number of Viennese people and officials came to Franz's execution ground under the leadership of some people with ulterior motives.
In response to the sudden appearance of such a large number of people, Alexander was like a great enemy, on the one hand, he mobilized 10,000 Hungarian troops outside Vienna to maintain order, and on the other hand, he also had Karl lead the army on the periphery to wait.
Just when Franz was guillotined to the guillotine and ready to be executed, several of Franz's executioners suddenly rebelled, and they unexpectedly untied the ropes on Franz's body, and some armed men also suddenly appeared on the execution ground to rescue Franz.
Seeing this, Alexander immediately ordered the army to be dispatched to kill Franz and his allies, but who knew that at the moment when Alexander's order was given, countless people of Vienna with weapons also appeared on the execution ground as a new force to help Franz.
In the evening of the same day, outside the city of Vienna, Alexander's Hungarian army and these Viennese people's armed forces broke out, and in less than two hours after the clash, the Austrian army led by Karl unexpectedly defected, and Alexander was completely stunned in the face of the situation that was no longer under control.

Looking at the flustered Alexander, Daniel, who had been standing beside Alexander, was sneering in his heart.
Daniel was the reason why the Viennese were able to suddenly blockade the Hungarian army, and as the officer in command of the Hungarian army, he deliberately transferred the troops to defend the martial law, precisely because of the present chaotic situation.
And Daniel did this for the simple reason that it would put Austria in a situation from which it could never recover.
In fact, Daniel was a Prussian, which no one knew, except, of course, those in the upper echelons of Prussia.
For his part, Daniel had spent eight years in Austria, during which time he had worked hard to gain Alexander's trust in order to sow chaos in Austria.
Daniel's greatest wish was to wait until Austria was completely destroyed, and then return to his beautiful hometown of Pomerania.
