Chapter five hundred and twenty sixth gathering judicial power

"I fully respect the territory and title of the Hungarian nobles. As long as you do not participate in the Szoborai rebellion or cooperate with the Ottoman pagans, your lives, property and honor are fully guaranteed. Please give me this."

Be sure to rest assured.”

In front of many Hungarian nobles who came to Vienna to meet their new master, Ladislaus explained several issues that they were particularly worried about.

Despite what he said, the title recognition work that Hohenzollern Master is responsible for is still very strict.

A lot of information about the Buda House of Lords was lost during the war, and the land deeds were also in a similar situation. Although Ladislaus sent Sirica Boss to supervise the certification work, there were still many drawbacks. Ladislaus

There is nothing Si can do.

The bigger conflict is within the Hungarians. There are no shortage of conflicts caused by titles and land. Those grievances that have accumulated for generations within the old system now have a chance to be resolved.

Although on the surface it is said that as long as there is no collusion with foreign enemies, everything will be fine, in fact they are treated differently.

Basically, the territories of the Hungarian nobles who participated in the pursuit of the Ottomans on the Danube River have been secured. Those who are hiding at home for various reasons will now suffer.

Once both parties produce land deeds or property certificates, the nobles who participated in the pursuit battle will all receive a favorable ruling.

Don't cause trouble when it's okay. Sometimes you can't be afraid of trouble.

If everyone is really treated equally, how can those Hungarian nobles who spent their wealth to participate in the war be convinced, and will they fight in the future?

Therefore, Ladislaus's efficiency in cracking down on those clerks who accepted bribes also declined. Those Hungarian nobles who dared to fight hard and knew how to send money would certainly greatly expand their territories.

Bureaucrats who know what money can and cannot be taken will be fine.

Ladislaus's magnanimity and Hohenzollern's harshness just met the requirements of calming people's hearts and rewarding merit and punishment at the same time.

"However, I would also like to remind you that your power over the people in the territory is limited to the part stipulated by the Holy Roman Empire. For any criminal and civil lawsuits filed by freemen or tenants, the superior circuit courts and the Supreme Court of Vienna have the final right of adjudication. Any obstruction

It is absolutely impermissible for the people of the United Kingdom to appeal to a higher court."

Relying on the military power of Austria, Ladislaus was determined to eliminate the feudal system in Hungary. All nobles would lose their judicial power. Although they would inevitably be able to decide the fate of the people locally for a long time, but from

The Will of Vienna will eventually replace those traditional customary laws.

If some particularly excessive nobles provoked such a thing as a complaint, then Ladislaus would definitely take advantage of the situation to enforce his authority unceremoniously.

"I would also like to say something special. It is said that in some areas of Hungary far away from the city, there are still some nobles who are practicing the ignorant and cruel illegal power of first night right. I want to say that anyone who does this kind of thing will bring shame to all nobles.

, once it is found out, he will be severely punished. The punishment is not limited to the individual, but also the title and all honors will be revoked!"

"Murder, rape, and robbery are three major crimes that cannot be accommodated by any title or wealth. Please bear this in mind."

Although it is not yet time for the general liquidation of the Hungarian nobility, the bottom line must be made clear as soon as possible. This kind of rule must be stated immediately or never.

.............................

After attending the Austria-Hungary goodwill dinner, Duke Horthy's residence was filled with guests.

"Duke Horthy, are you really going to send judges and police to our territory this time?" a distant relative asked worriedly.

"When it comes to criminal cases, never come forward. In some ordinary disputes, Austrian nobles and landowners also have the right to mediate. With just a few judges and law enforcers, can they manage everything?" Horthy's answer is

With Ladislaus's consent, Ladislaus's limited manpower and material resources made it impossible for him to establish the same system as Austria in the newly acquired territory.

Even in Austria itself, there are inevitably some remnants that hinder centralized government.

"This is a trample on our ancient rights. Kings of any family must recognize these rights before they can be recognized as kings by us. Today they only have procedural powers, but as long as this rule is in place, sooner or later these powers will be completely

It belongs to Vienna. Don’t we have the right to execute the peasants in our own territory?!”

Although Ladislaus had tried his best to soften his attitude, there were still people who directly saw the nature of this change.

Although the key reason why Ladislaus was able to pursue this policy was that he had the military power to overwhelm the Hungarians, Horthy certainly could not explain it this way.

"In any case, at least we are still nobles and can keep our own land. Think of the poor people who had their land taken away by the Ottomans." The old order in Osijek and Belgrade was completely destroyed, and the conquerors had no control over these lands.

Destroy the old nobility mercilessly.

"But Shaobo Rayi is not finished yet." Although he doesn't like surrendering to his former colleagues, compared to losing a large part of his privileges, it seems that it is not a big problem.

"If you go to defect now, you won't be able to become a confidant." Remembering the name of the Hungarian nobleman who said the word 'Szoborai' in his heart, Duke Horthy continued to reason with the others. "What's more, the king

Is His Majesty's army capable of being resisted by Shao Bo Rai? These troops are often

Prepare an army, 10,000 people can defeat the 100,000-strong mob of Shauporai. The guards guarding Pest are just some second-rate troops, so Shauporanyi will be beaten to disgrace. Once His Highness Frundsberg solves the Bohemian problem, Shaoporany will be defeated.

The demise of Porayi is just a matter of time."

This sentence made all the Hungarian nobles fall silent.

Tomorrow they will participate in another very exciting entertainment event, watching beheadings.

Frundsberg sent a dozen captured Bohemian nobles, and tomorrow Ladislaus will watch the execution together with all loyal ministers.

Although there had always been incompatibility between the nobles of Buda and Prague during the Aglonian dynasty, the Hungarian side wanted to establish the authority of the center, while the Bohemian side insisted on its own autonomous power.

The king centered in Buda could only be satisfied with a very limited annual tribute and an emperor's vote that could be sold for a large price every ten years on average.

But actually watching them beheaded is still a show that scares all Hungarians.

The dozen or so nobles who were sent to Vienna were all named rebel leaders, and the less valuable ones were executed directly in Prague.

These nobles who were once able to dominate the people in their territory will all be beheaded tomorrow morning.

And the Hungarians will be taken to the sidelines.

Ladislaus needs to make them feel that they have made the right choice and encourage them to continue making the right choice.

"One more thing is the matter of national debt and banknotes..." Ladislaus also wanted to promote his economic rule in the new control area.
