"Father, we can't stay here, run away!"

"run?

I want to run too, but there are people around me. Where can we run besides moving forward?"

Trost shouted in fear.

Immediately afterwards, he saw his son suddenly throw away the small axe in his hand and rushed towards the enemy opposite him.

Trost's mind suddenly fell into a blank space. This was his only son!

A son who has been raising sixteen years!

Is this going to commit suicide?!

No!

You must never watch your son die!

Trost, who had a blank mind, didn't need to think at all, and his body instinctively rushed out with his son.

When his son turned around and saw his father following him, he smiled a big smile on his lips, rushed out of the crowded crowd, and suddenly slapped on the ground and hugged his head!

Trost saw his son lying on the ground, looked up and his legs fell to the ground, because the French Defence Force on the opposite side had raised the musket again.

"Open fire!"

After the third round of volleyball, Trost, who was lying on the ground and holding his head, heard the sound of his body falling to the ground again from behind. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had such a responsive son, otherwise his father and son would never be able to resist this round of volleyball!

Although the street is wide, there are more than a hundred musketeers opposite, lined up in two dense rows, enough to massacre all the "militia" who are in a group.

After the survivor saw Trost and his son rushing to the ground to escape the disaster, they immediately followed suit and threw themselves to the ground.

However, many people never thought of rushing out of the crowd, and just lay down on the ground and lie down among a crowded crowd!

As a result, no surprises were heard, screams came one after another. Almost no good ending for those who were lying down among the crowd. It was lucky to be trampled and injured. Many people were trampled to death as soon as they lay down!

Even so, when the fourth round of volleyball fired, the crowd still lay down at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Paramut and others soon lost the meat shield cannon fodder in front. They held large swords and spears, faced the black muzzle, and without waiting for a "fire" to shout out, they threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.

However, the volley still arrived as scheduled. Paramut suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf. He rolled to the ground under the forward inertia. He rolled twice before he could barely stop. He held his calf and felt so shocking...

After seeing everyone lying on the ground and surrendering, the lieutenant finally stopped ordering to fire platoons. After leaving a few guard infantry guards to guard them, he led the rest to advance forward.

"Stand up and go there!"

Trost was kept by a huge force. He listened to the unscrupulous French, looked in the direction of the other party's fingers, immediately understood the other party's meaning, and took his son silently to the designated open space.

After arriving at the open space, Trost soon found that he was dragged over, his calves were covered in blood, and he was still humming with pain.

After seeing Paramut's miserable appearance, Trost immediately thought of the life and death experience he had experienced today. He became angry from his heart and glanced around and found that the French soldiers who were still driving away the prisoners in the distance and rushed towards Paramut immediately.

"Trost, what are you going to do?

ah!!!"

Trost kicked Paramuth's injured calf, then stepped on it hard like he was indespair, crushing it back and forth.

Paramut wanted to reach out to resist, but was kicked in the back of the head by Trost's youngest son, and almost went out of breath.

Then, Trost and his son used all their strength to vent on Paramuth. In just a few minutes, Paramuth, who had already lost a lot of blood, was beaten to swallow his last breath...

The other Christians watched this scene silently, and until Paramut was beaten to death, they did not see French soldiers coming to stop them. The eyes of the other pagans suddenly became different.

The number of pagans is smaller than that of Christians, and even fewer people are caught. They are not the opponents of hundreds of Christians who are eyeing them.

Moreover, these pagans used violent means to force these strong men to recruit, but they did not leave a good impression on everyone's hearts.

When the group of people discovered that their violent behavior had not caused the obstruction of French soldiers, the accumulated resentment suddenly burst out.

Trost has set a good example and opened the Pandora's box in people's hearts.

Soon, screams came from the captives. When the pagans saw that the situation was not good, they found that they were surrounded by crowds!

Even if everyone does not have any weapons, they can use their fists and feet to vent their resentment, especially those Christians who have relatives and friends who died in the battle just now, are even red in their eyes and "revenge".

They dared not resent the French Wehrmacht who had just won them, and could only vent their resentment on the pagans who drove them over to die.

The French Defense Forces guard infantry beside him leaned against the wall with muskets in his arms, chatting while watching the bloody gang fight.

"Someone has been beaten to death. If we look at it like this, we won't be punished by the superior."

"It doesn't matter, there are only a few people who were beaten. There is no loss when they die. It is also a good thing to let them vent their resentment. As long as there is no large-scale fights."

…………

The Battle of Belgrade ended with a devastating situation, and the fourth largest city in the Balkans was declared to fall in just one day.

Even though there was a problem of insufficient troops in the Ottoman Empire defenders, the fall was too fast. Before the war started, the military and political chief of Belgrade declared that he would use up the last drop of the French blood in street fighting and promoted the holy war in a high-profile manner.

As a result, no decent street battle broke out in the entire Battle of Belgrade.

The so-called street fighting of the Governor of Belgrade was just a group of "militia" that followed the French army to fight to the death. The ending can be imagined...

There is no way, the regular troops in Belgrade are not enough to defend the city, so it is naturally impossible to set up street battles.

For the Holy Alliance, the Battle of Belgrade was just a good start, but for the Ottoman Empire, the Battle of Belgrade was the beginning of a nightmare!

As for the struggle for faith like Trost in Belgrade, it is impossible to get to the top in the eyes of the great powers.

Even though Trost and his son proved their Christian status and were forced to enlist in the army, they still did not escape the labor service, but received some commutation of sentences on this basis.

Of course, Christians also have preferential treatment. The top leaders of the French Defense Forces are very clear that if they want to quickly occupy the Balkans, they must win over the hearts of the local Christians.

Christians in the Balkans have long been dissatisfied with the exploitative rule of the Ottoman Empire. The Holy Alliance does not require much energy to win over a large number of people.

In addition, Li Wei clearly pointed out that nationalism must not be allowed to appear in the Balkans, which will be directly annexed as the direct territory of the French imperial emperor!

As the French Empire's sphere of influence gradually expanded, the Levi government is planning to establish a stronger ruling status. According to European tradition, it is naturally the safest to include all vassal states in Levi's name, which is easier to be accepted by local people than directly incorporated into the French Empire.

In Europe at this time, loyalty to a monarch and losing one's own country meant completely different to ordinary people.

Because this is related to the national customs, language, and even legal provisions that are adapted to ordinary people!

If it is incorporated into the French Empire, it means accepting all the laws and rules of the French Empire!

This can easily arouse civil unrest. This is not caused by the estrangement between countries, but by the customs of the people.

As for the unity of language and writing, it is a long way to go.

As the gateway fortress in the Balkans, Belgrade has assembled all field forces plundered by the Ottoman Empire from the Balkans.

There is no way, the Ottoman Empire brought the troops that could be fought and even most of the cannon fodder to the front line of the Russian-Turkey War. There were really not many troops left in the Balkans. Tens of thousands of defenders in the Balkans seemed to be a lot, but compared with the Holy Alliance, eighty or ninety percent were wiped out in just one Battle of Belgrade!

The rest of those who were not annihilated were just running fast enough.

Therefore, after the Battle of Belgrade, the Ottoman Empire opened its doors to the Holy Alliance in the Balkans almost unprepared.

In the next month, the Holy Alliance conquered cities and marching in the Balkans and made great progress. Most cities voluntarily surrendered without any attack.

The local nobles of the Ottoman Empire fled in groups, dragged their families and fled towards Istanbul, and were then intercepted and killed by the guards and Hungarian cavalry who were deeply behind the enemy.

The Hungarian cavalry were very enthusiastic about this work because these escaped Ottoman nobles all had a lot of money. Every time they encountered a target, they could get a lot of money from the participating cavalry, which was enough for them to stay in the Jiaofangsi for several days.

Yes, with the expansion of the power of the Li Wei regime, Jiaofangsi, as an important financial aid institution, naturally turned the business into the Hungarian region.

The government of the Republic of Hungary naturally did not dare to complain at all, and watched Wallace Commercial Group enjoy international discounts while squeezing the local trade industry.

As long as it is a transaction of Wallace Business Alliance, the local governments and nobles of the Hungarian Republic dare not have any disputes with them, otherwise the lawsuit will be directly attacked from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

The diplomatic officials of the French Empire were famously domineering in Hungary, and often used war as an excuse to threaten them, completely ignoring the tens of thousands of Hungarians on the front line and were bleeding and sweating for the Holy Alliance!

The avalanche in the Balkans of the Ottoman Empire quickly caused a series of chain reactions.

First, far away from Istanbul, the Greek region, which had a very high sense of independence, launched an independence uprising.

The Athenians easily expelled local Ottoman bureaucrats and entourages and quickly liberated the Greek region where there were not many Ottoman garrisons at all.

The most important thing is that in order to dispel the hostility of the sacred alliance, the Greeks did not establish a monarchy according to the European tradition after independence, but established a republic!

Moreover, the Greek Republic has no presidency, only the Parliament of the Republic. The Parliament of the Greek Republic elects a permanent ruling committee to handle daily affairs, and the country's legislative power is left to the Parliament to formulate.

Only the Parliament of the Republic has the power to promulgate and amend the Constitution.

It is obvious that the Greeks restored the aristocratic republic system.

Yes, the seemingly equal parliamentary republic system is actually the local Greek aristocrats.

It's similar to the ancient Greek civic conference.

The so-called civic conference in ancient Greece was not that everyone had the right to participate, but citizens were the nobles of that era!

Because under Greek citizens, there are far more people than citizens' slaves and 'expats'.

Greek citizens mainly rely on the support of lower-class people, so they do not have to work hard every day, have a lot of time to participate in political activities, train their martial arts, and join the army when needed to become a citizen soldier.

Greek citizens were the prototype of early nobles.

Now that Greece has become independent, it has naturally not forgotten its glorious traditions and has also established the parliamentary system of the Republic.

This is not a bad thing for the Levi government. Greek independence can also accelerate the collapse of the Ottoman Empire's rule in the Balkans.

However, after Greece's independence, for some reason, it gave them enough confidence, and quickly formed a Republican Guard and took the initiative to attack those Ottoman-controlled areas where there were not many garrisons.
