Hungary
As the news of the defeat of the Sardinian Kingdom spread, more and more Hungarians lost confidence in the revolution, and a series of cities such as Miskolc, Debrecen, Pecs, and Ségued fell one after another.
By mid-June, the last remaining city in the Hungarian Republic was Budapest.
The revolutionaries who were unwilling to fail, after losing important cities, fled to the countryside again, trying to rely on guerrilla warfare to continue their stubborn resistance.
It is a pity that the Hungarian people did not buy it. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Habsburg dynasty was their protector, while the Hungarian republican government was a plundering government composed of nobles and capitalists.
Before the people's war was launched, it was suppressed by the masses.
It can be said that Franz's field division movement in Hungary was very successful, and successfully passed all the black history of Austria to the Hungarian Autonomous Government.
The world will never lack smart people. The Hungarian aristocrats who have experienced a civil strife and their strength have been severely damaged, quickly set their positions and took actions to prove their role to the Vienna government, preparing to occupy a favorable position in the new social system. status.
This is the way of survival for the ancient nobles, who know how to compromise with reality. The nouveau riche who didn't learn this got their lunch as early as Austria's suppression of the Hungarian rebellion.
In an ancient castle outside the city of Alab, a young man said angrily: "Father, do we really want to do this? Once the Kingdom of Hungary ceases to exist, we can only..."
The old man waved his hand and said earnestly, "August, don't be blinded by interests!
The Kingdom of Hungary no longer exists. It was doomed from the moment the Hungarian Revolution began, and the determination of the Vienna government to split Hungary will not be shaken.
Although we are admirable for the courage to stop the car, we must never follow suit. This is our ancestral motto.
Since it is impossible to avoid Hungary being divided, why not take advantage of this opportunity and get the most out of it
The Austrian government can use this revolution to split the Kingdom of Hungary, but it still lacks legal basis. This is our chance. "
August frowned and said: "But father, the Vienna government divided our land, and the millions of hectares of land passed down by our ancestors have become history, and we can never get them back!"
The old man shook his head and said, "What do you think? These lands have been divided into the hands of hundreds of thousands of people, and no one can take them back. Do you want to become a deadly vengeance for these lands and the subjects of our fiefs?
August, you are too extreme. Things have already happened, the most important thing is not to blame others, let alone take revenge, but to stop the loss in time!
Don't forget, these lands were taken out in the name of redemption, but we didn't get the land ransom money. At this time, the Vienna government is eager for you to mess up, so that they don't have to give them a big one. "
The big nobles like the Kohari family paid great attention to the management of their fiefs. They were notorious and angry. They were all upstarts and prodigals. The real ancient nobles attached great importance to reputation.
Aristocratic wars often break out in Europe. The nobles must rely on the subjects of their fiefs to give their lives. If they cannot gain their support, why should the great nobles have a special status
The wealth and silk are touching. Now that the land has been distributed, the boat is done. The serfs who have obtained the land are definitely not willing to give up. If they want to get the land back, they must stand against these people.
There is no way, this time can only stop loss. As for revenge on the Austrian government, this idea can be made, and it can even cause trouble for them secretly, but there can be no action on the surface.
Perhaps because of the marriage of the great nobles, the Habsburg family had no way to kill them, but it was still possible to withhold their compensation for demolition, not the land ransom.
The ransom of millions of hectares of land, even if it is a discount, is not a small sum, and no one can refuse this wealth.
It is also not so simple to get this money. The land ransom money is collected by the Austrian government, and they will definitely not take it out so easily.
Even for the sake of the government's credibility, they cannot directly default on their debts, as long as they give full play to the subjective initiative of the bureaucrats, custody becomes a series of debts for the rest of their lives.
Thinking of this, August wilted instantly. Obviously, the Austrian government harmed their interests, but in order to stop the loss, they had to help the Austrian government stabilize the place.
At least until the huge land ransom money is obtained, they must stand on the side of the Austrian government and expect Austria to develop better, otherwise no one will pay them back.
After a long silence, August said helplessly: "Okay, I will promote the petition movement and let the Austrians split Hungary justifiably!"
For the huge ransom of land belonging to the Kohari family, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, August could only recognize it with his nose.
Launching a public petition to apply to become the direct jurisdiction of the Habsburg family, providing the Austrian government with an excuse to split Hungary, is the first step they sold to Vienna.
Franz wants to eat. It is easy to split Hungary, but it is difficult to convince the local people. Historically, after the Kingdom of Hungary was split, it died and came back to life soon after, but the local people were not convinced.
If the local people took the initiative to apply and become the direct jurisdiction of the Habsburg family, then it would not be a problem. This is public opinion, and no one can pick out the question.
Public opinion is blind obedience. At this time, it is the nobles' turn to perform. With them taking the lead and the popularity of the Habsburg family among the people, it is easy to plan such a petition.
…
Budapest, now an isolated city, the Austrian army seems to have lost interest in attacking the city, and has not launched an attack for a week.
With the Danube in the city, there is no shortage of water in the city, and there is no way to replenish other materials. Hesitantly lacking industrial raw materials, the factory has long stopped running.
A large number of unemployed people are facing high prices, and the city's economy has collapsed. The young and strong can join the National Guard for a meal.
The collapse of the military discipline of the National Guard is largely due to the fact that the soldiers still have children to support.
In order not to starve their families, they must also suppress the "counter-revolutionaries", and only then can they seize enough wealth from the "enemies" to support their families.
