    Anyone knows how big the Austrian fleet and French fleet were after the war (1815/1816) and how much soldiers were paid in this time span?

    Not sure about 1815/ 816 but daily salary for Napoleonic infantry was (daily, in franks):

    Line Infantry Private 0.3
    Old Guard Infantry Private 1.17

    Line Infantry Sergeant 0.62
    Old Guard Infantry Sergeant 2.22

    Well according to The Napoleonic Army Handbook, Austria inherited the Venetian fleet in 1814 consisting of 4 ships of the line with another 6 under construction. However Austria cancelled the 6 underway, lost 2 of the 4 to fire and converted the remaining pair to frigates.
