Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 85 Black History

Budapest, since the Austrian army passed the siege, the city has been panic-stricken. If the new government had no illusions about the ally of the Kingdom of Sardinia, many people would now run away.

Of course, those who are not running are also preparing to run.The area of ​​Budapest is not small. In order to prevent the enemy dogs from jumping over the wall, the Bohemian Army strictly enforced the siege.

It is still easy for a person to run the road, as long as the large army is not out of the city, the Austrian army is not easy to notice.

The Minister of the Army of the Republic of Hungary, Gorga, embarrassedly said: "Mr. Kosut, I just received information that the Croatian traitors will join the Austrians outside the city tomorrow.

By that time, the number of enemy forces in the siege will rise to 150,000, and Budapest will soon be unable to hold it!"

"General Gorgay is right. Budapest can't hold back the enemy's soldiers. This revolution has failed. In order to recover the losses as much as possible and save Hungary, I propose to conduct peace talks with the Vienna government!" Minister of the Interior Shemir Say

With the military defeat, the Hungarian reactionary forces also began to rise.

The bourgeois nobles headed by Shemir, and the military compromise led by Gorbachev, tried to negotiate with the Austrian government to protect their own interests.

This is undoubtedly bad news for Kosut. As long as the Bohemian Legion besieged the city, he advocated taking the initiative to take advantage of the unstable footing of the enemy, but unfortunately he was opposed by the military.

Now that the enemy is fighting local tyrants outside the city to divide their fields, they are too busy to rely on the liberation of serfs and the distribution of land. The Austrian army has already gained the support of the local people.

On the contrary, the Republic of Hungary is hostile by the local people. In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor as far away as Vienna is their patron saint, and the Hungarian government in Budapest is only a tool for the nobles and capitalists to squeeze them.

The Minister of Education Petofi hurriedly objected: "No, now in peace talks with Austria, Hungary will split. The Vienna government is plotting to divide Hungary, and by then we will have only one province left!

Even this province has no autonomy.The Vienna government has an advantage, how can it be compromised?"

Compromise, in fact, the Revolutionaries do not mind compromising with the Vienna government, but the gap between the two sides is really too big.

The Austrian government headed by Franz is planning to divide Hungary into five provinces: Croatia, Slovenia, Vojvodí, Transylvania, and Hungary.

This is no longer a secret. Croatia and Transylvania have independently established provinces, and the governments of Slavonia and Voivode are also in preparation.

Once this plan was successful, the Kingdom of Hungary became history. Because of ethnic relations, they only wanted the independence of the only remaining Hungarian province, which increased the difficulty several times.

Xie Mier replied: "Mr. Petofi, but the real problem is that we simply cannot win the war!

If you do not negotiate with the Austrian government, the final result may be even worse, they will make Hungary into history.

In the long river of history, the disappearing nations are unknown, you do n’t want to watch the disappearance of the Hungarian nation?"

Kosut said excitedly: "The great Hungarian nation will not disappear. History will prove that the enemy's conspiracies and tricks are in vain. As long as we persevere, we will definitely win!

In order to win this war, I have invited the Polish star Henrik Dembinski, I believe we can definitely win this war!"

Shemir did n’t speak, and although he hated Kosut ’s inability to enter the state of speech, he is still in charge of the Revolutionaries. He does not intend to directly clash with them.

Now that the war has reached its current level, can it be changed by personal power?

They dared to establish the Hungarian Republic independently, because Hungary was a whole at that time, and the Austrian Empire was already crumbling, and the reform measures of the Vienna government violated their interests.

Who knew that it didn't take long for independence to stabilize in Austria, but Hungary was torn apart under the political offensive of the Vienna government, and the strength of the two sides has changed dramatically.

No one is a fool. Except for the bare feet of the Revolutionary Party, the rest are thinking about the way out.The government of Vienna did not treat the rebels this time. Who would be desperate if they had family and business?

...

What the big guys think, the people at the bottom of Budapest don't care anymore.They were worrying about three meals a day. Since the Austrian army had passed the siege, the material transportation routes between Budapest and the outside world were cut off.

Hungary is the main food producer in Europe. There are farmlands around Budapest, and there is no shortage of food in the city.

It's a pity that prices can't stand soaring!Do n’t talk to the capitalists about the big picture, but people who want money but not to die. At this juncture, they do n’t want to go through the hardships together, but take advantage of the fire.

Taking the cheapest dark bread as an example, it is now 58% higher than before the revolution, and the price of coal for cooking fires has even increased by 100%.

In order to save fuel, many families have to cook in partnership.Even so, rising prices have made them difficult.

To make matters worse, the Hungarian Republican government has also issued republican coins, rewinding and plundering private wealth.

Since the establishment of the Republic of Hungary, the citizens of Budapest have not had a few days of comfort.How can nations, nations, and freedoms be enemies for three meals a day?

On April 18, 1848, the workers ’movement broke out in Budapest. Hungry workers and poor citizens took to the streets, demanding the government to quell prices, severely punish profiteers for driving up prices, implement the Labor Protection Law, and solve unemployment.

The Hungarian Republican government, as a spokesperson for the bourgeoisie, naturally ignored their demands, and the Kosut government carried out the brutal crackdown for the first time.

On April 23, 1848, the Austrian bill to abolish serfdom spread to Hungary. The little Krish serf who could not be exploited and oppressed rioted. The rebel army captured the manor, killed the supervisor, and divided the land.

The uprising quickly spread along the Danube River, which terrified the Hungarian nobles. They turned their attention to Vienna and Budapest for help.

Undoubtedly, the Austrian government, who wanted to suppress the Hungarian nobility, refused on the grounds that it was unattainable.In order to win the support of nobles, the Kosut government once again stood in opposition to the people.

After the suppression of the workers and peasants movement, the Hungarian Republican government gained the support of capitalists and nobles, the cohesion of the Hungarian nation increased, and it also completed a break with the people at the bottom.
