War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Chapter 64 The Murderer

Tasan Anna walked out of his tent, looking at the fallen soldiers and the burning camp, and buttoned up his shirt.

Tasan Anna decided to inspect his barracks, and Miss Jenny joined the rescue team as a nurse.

Before this battle, Tasan Anna might have only indulged in the feeling of being a savior and being admired.

Now, he began to really consider the soldiers who fought hard to save him.

Tasan Anna, as a president, does not understand politics, as a general, he does not know how to fight, as a man, he cannot control his body, let alone his wife.

But Tasan Anna has always been very good to his subordinates. He cares about the soldiers, allows them to plunder whenever they have the chance, and allows them to keep their own spoils. He even made his orderly the vice president.

Those who benefited from him usually called him president, general, Napoleon of North America, and savior.

However, at the critical moment, those people all fled in all directions, abandoning him, and the 3,000-man army was almost broken by 800 people.

If it weren't for the 300 black soldiers, Tasan Anna would have gone to see God or been imprisoned in a cell in the Houston military camp.

Most of the black soldiers on the ground fell on the way to the charge, and many of them were still holding sabers and pitchforks in their hands. A black soldier was dead, but his hands were still tightly grasping the neck of a Texan.

Tasan Anna took the casualty statistics sent by the orderly and took off his hat to pay tribute to these brave people.

Tasan Anna ordered a grand burial for these warriors, and promoted all the 23 surviving black soldiers to non-commissioned officers. One of the black soldiers captured two prisoners and was directly promoted to major, allowing him to command the black camp.

In the Mexican army, the rank of major is not low, and it is definitely an exceptional promotion.

At this time, the total military strength of Mexico is only 27,000, and a colonel often manages 1,000 to 1,500 people. There are only more than 20 colonels with real power in the country.

Although Tasan Anna is now the president, he prefers to be called a general because he was a general in the past.

In the Mexican army, general is the highest military rank, and there are only four people in the country who have this title.

In order to commend the bravery of the black soldier, Tasan Anna decided to give him a Spanish name-Diego, which means brave warrior.

Tasan Anna asked Diego, "What do you want?"

"Bullets, sir!"

Tasan Anna pulled off Diego's bullet bag and found that it was filled with stones.

"Quartermaster!" Tasan Anna roared.

The quartermaster trotted over, and Tasan Anna threw the bullet bag to the quartermaster.

"What's going on?!"

The quartermaster looked at the stones in the bag and showed an embarrassed expression.

"Maybe I took the wrong one..."

Tasan Anna took out his single-shot pistol and pointed it at the quartermaster's forehead.

"Wrong one? My soldiers have no bullets, no rifles, they fight with swords and spears, you said it was wrong?"

The quartermaster knelt on the ground and begged.

"It's just a joke, Mr. President, please let me go."

Many people knew that the quartermaster gave stones as ammunition to black soldiers, and everyone praised his humor at the time.

"Joke? Just because of your joke, I killed my best soldiers. Have you thought about how you will die?"

At this time, the quartermaster realized the seriousness of the problem. The person in front of him was not only the President of Mexico, but also a warlord and bandit leader who killed people without blinking an eye.

"Let me go, for God's sake."

"Let you go? How can I explain to those dead soldiers?"

"My brother-in-law is General Gabriel, he is your ally."

"Gabriel? Peel his skin off and send it to Gabriel when you return home, so that he can recognize it."

Two native soldiers carried the quartermaster on the left and right and walked towards the open space in the middle of the military camp.

"Let me go, General President"

Tasan Anna did not pay attention to the damn quartermaster, but invited Gabriel and Stadion to watch the execution with great interest.

In front of the quartermaster's body, Tasan Anna announced:

"Anyone who fights for Mexico is a citizen of Mexico.

Any Mexican soldier is a soldier of Tasan Anna.

All citizens and soldiers enjoy the same treatment.

No one can look down on you! If there is, then I, Tasan Anna, will be the first to not let him go!"

Tasan Anna enjoyed the attention of the crowd. He liked the feeling of being a hero.

This battle caused Tasan Anna to lose half of his supplies, and he had to withdraw to San Antonio.

In fact, he still had about 10,000 rifles in his hands, which were obsolete products purchased from Austria at that time, but he always had a miser's mentality. He didn't want to give these guns to the soldiers, and now he had to do so.

During the time he returned to San Antonio for repairs, Tasan Anna fulfilled his promise.

He freed all the black slaves in San Antonio, and allocated some abandoned plantations to them by Texans, giving them a guarantee of a decent life.

But Tasan Anna demanded that these black families must fight for him, and each family must send one member to join his army.

A brand new black infantry battalion was formed, and the first battalion commander was Diego.

All blacks were given uniforms, a flintlock and twenty rounds of ammunition.

Tasan Anna's troops will go north again in a month.

Vienna.

The Medical Association, represented by Dr. Thomas, protested to Emperor Ferdinand I.

They believed that doctors' hands were sacred, and asking doctors to wash their hands was an impolite act. If the emperor insisted on his impolite request, all doctors in Vienna would go on strike.

Count Korolaf and Prince Metternich were very curious about why the two brothers, His Majesty the Emperor and Archduke Franz Karl, were so angry with a group of doctors.

For the first time, the Regency Council asked the emperor for his opinion.

"Those disgusting guys want to put the disgusting things on them on me! I am the emperor, and I say this is not okay!" Ferdinand I roared.

Count Korolaf and Metternich looked at each other, thinking that it was probably some doctor who put some dirty things on the emperor that made the emperor so angry.

They decided to arrest the doctor who had recently treated the emperor and calm the emperor's anger first.

"If the parliament makes a decision, even if the queen's death sentence is sent to her, she will have to sign it."

But this kind of thing is impossible in Austria at this time. The first thing the Regency Parliament thinks of is to calm the emperor's anger.

With the issuance of the arrest warrant, the doctors' strike that was previously a hot topic disappeared instantly.

Even Dr. Thomas returned to his job, shouting "Long live Ferdinand I" every day when he saw people, for fear of being arrested by the secret police.

Franz also specially collected a lot of evidence for this. He was ready to have a debate with doctors all over Vienna, and even invited the church to take sides.

Of course, he was also prepared to be regarded as a madman. After all, the first doctor in history who proposed the hand-washing method was beaten to death by his peers as a madman.

However, as the investigation deepened, Franz became more and more furious. He felt that the "civilian killer" must die.

According to the testimony of Dr. Thomas' assistant, Dr. Thomas would wash his hands with wine before treating nobles, but not civilians.

This is not a medical accident, but murder.
