The temperature in Vienna at the end of November is getting colder and colder. Although it hasn't snowed yet, the bleak cold wind still makes people shiver.
This kind of weather is especially unfriendly to the poor, because winter is already difficult for the poor. In addition, this year was also troubled in Austria, with uprisings spreading across the country. It is even more difficult for the poor to have a stable source of income. It is impossible to say that all industries are in decline.
Too much.
Especially those civilians who are trapped in Vienna and cannot move, life is even more difficult. This music capital has been blocked for several months. Not only is it difficult to heat the city, but now it is also a big problem to eat.
According to Windischgratz's arrangement, the city of Vienna was tightly sealed off, and no one was allowed to leave, no matter whether it was personnel or materials, in order to starve the rebels in the city to death.
This trick worked quite well. Beginning in November, large-scale exodus began to occur in the city. Civilians who were too hungry to survive had to flee the city with their families. This made the situation of the rebels even worse.
The terrain was difficult. If Schwarzenberg's conditions were not too harsh and he could not agree to it, the rebel army would probably surrender directly.
However, although the rebels are still gritting their teeth and persisting, it is hard to say how long they can hold on. If Gergey Artur cannot come to relieve the siege quickly, at most the rebels will collapse by the end of December.
Of course, these sufferings and difficulties only belong to the poor people and rebels in the city. For the Austrian nobles who fled Vienna early and hid in country villas and manors, this winter is not particularly different from the past.
Listening to concerts in the hall is not the only way to have fun and open a salon in the city.
This article applies not only to Austrian nobles, but also to foreign nobles. For example, Baron Carl Hans von Ligot, as the counselor of the Russian Embassy in Austria, his life is very nourishing.
He gets up at 10:30 every day, dresses up and takes a walk, then enjoys a sumptuous breakfast. Then, after taking a short rest, he goes to the lounge for an hour. At three o'clock in the afternoon, he will have lunch on time and then set off to the temporary residence of the embassy.
I clock in and sign in, then get off work at four o'clock and go to a friend's party.
At eight o'clock in the evening, you will have the most sumptuous meal of the day, and then there will be either a salon or a dance, and then you will have a tryst with your new mistress. You may spend the night at her mistress's place, or you may have a good time and then go home to rest.
All in all? Are these days the same? Anyway, it has been half a month since he arrived in Vienna to take up his post. How has he been living like this for the past half month? Talking about what is in the heart is really not as tiring as usual? It is extremely time-consuming.
This kind of life may be a little more monotonous than St. Petersburg, but Baron Ligot feels comfortable? After all, he is still a German, and his living habits are very different from those of the northern barbarians.
In Russia, even the most refined aristocrats are inevitably addicted to alcohol? But he really has no love for strong alcohol? If it weren't for the fact that the salary offered by the Russians was very satisfactory, he would have wanted to return to the country a long time ago.
And returning to Vienna this time can be regarded as an relief from his homesickness. Returning to a familiar hometown? How comfortable is work? It is simply a dreamlike vacation and cultivation trip.
Baron Ligot is very satisfied with the current situation, and feels that nothing can disturb his peaceful vacation life for the time being, not even Duke Alexander Gorchakov, because Neserrodie has given it to him before coming.
After taking the reassurance - just stay passive and slow down, he will take care of everything? Don't worry and go ahead!
So even if Duke Alexander talked to him before and asked him to focus more? He didn't take it seriously even if it was a simple warning. He was still singing and dancing and dancing with girls.
Just like tonight, the enthusiastic Schwarzenberg's secretary introduced him to a famous lady. After meeting the lady at the ball last night, it really made him feel itchy. If he could kiss her, it would be so.
He would be happy even if he was exhausted on the bed.
Baron Ligot, who was full of joy, did not notice that no matter where he went these days, a carriage would slowly follow him. Vishniak in the car had already fixed his eyes on him, changing his work and rest time.
The living habits are very close to each other.
"This old pervert would attack a little girl who is similar to his daughter. It's really intolerable!"
Vishniak's rant did not surprise Li Xiao at all. As a lover in the world, he was envious and jealous of Baron Ligot, who was half buried in the ground. In fact, he was following this man on his first day.
After becoming a baron, he became very angry and wanted to kill that guy.
"Then don't bear it anymore!" Li Xiao replied lightly, "The Duke has already talked to him. This guy has no intention of stopping at all. Moreover, it is said that he is Neserrodie's hard-core thug. He must be punished."
Get rid of it!"
Vishniak applauded this and wished he could take action immediately: "It's past time to get rid of this scum! The sooner the better!"
Regarding Duke Alexander's request, Li Xiao has many plans. As he said before, it can be gentle means, or it can be a borrowed knife to kill people, and of course it can also be the most violent means. If it were someone else, Li Xiao might not be so
Fierce, but this Li Geute really angered Duke Alexander, and his arrogance was so arrogant that even the Duke didn't want to see him again. Do you think it would be okay if he didn't die?
"According to the original plan, when he comes out from his mistress tonight, Boris will be responsible for dealing with him. Don't use guns. There is too much noise. There are noble manors nearby. There are salons and dances every day. The Austrian patrol is particularly affectionate.
Our identities are sensitive and must not be exposed!"
Boris nodded indifferently while chewing on his big elbow. The people he brought over were all good people, and the baron's guard, hey! He could scare those civilians by telling his true feelings.
Li Xiao continued to explain: "After the matter is done, leave what should be left behind and then retreat immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight. I will lead people to pick you up from the outside. If you encounter trouble, you should send a signal immediately! Something else.
If something changes, I would rather give up than take action forcefully, and put safety first in everything!"
Boris took another bite of the big elbow, and muttered as he chewed: "Don't worry, I know what's going on here, I will never miss anything, and I will ensure that that baron will never see the sun tomorrow!"
Li Xiao was also speechless about this guy's carelessness, but although this guy was a little bit weird, he was still reliable in doing things, and these things really couldn't be left to outsiders. Once the news leaked out, the consequences would be disastrous!
