go out
This is impossible, and Metternich is not stupid. At this time, the enemy is waiting for him to go out
Don't try to explain it in a delusional way. It's more likely that as soon as he emerged, someone rushed up to beat him to death, creating an established fact.
This kind of thing has not just happened in history. Most of it was brought over by the Spring and Autumn Brushstrokes. Maybe it was a touch of darkness, and it turned into being beaten to death by angry people on the spot.
Political struggles are also less complicated, if the explanation is useful.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, order the demonstrators to be expelled, otherwise the situation will soon get out of control!"
It was Oppenheimer, the chief of the Vienna police, who was under the greatest pressure when such a big thing happened. Many in the government believe that Metternich is over, and is already preparing for a way back.
It's a pity that others can leave, but he, the police chief, can't escape. Once Metternich falls, he will also get out of the way, or else he will be liquidated.
Metternich wandered for a few steps, and finally made up his mind: "Order the city defense army to disperse the crowd!"
Before his order came out, the situation outside was already out of control. The revolutionaries mixed in the crowd seized the opportunity and fired a shot at the intercepting soldier. Under the habit of reflex, the soldiers also pulled the trigger.
"The army killed people!"
After a loud shout, the crowd soon fell into chaos and fled.
This time, there is no need to disperse the crowd, everyone has dispersed themselves.
It's just that the sequelae are very serious. Except for a small group of people, most of them know that the army shot and killed people.
As for the revolutionary party that provoked the dispute, the truth was naturally covered up.
The angry people are being fooled into launching a revolution at this time, and the capitalists have managed to raise some weapons, which are also delivered at this time.
Some hot-blooded young people were selected, the revolutionary armed forces were established, and the insurgent army attacked the police station that night. The Vienna city government, which has fallen to the Revolutionary Party, has provided convenience for the rebels at this time.
When the gunshots of the revolution rang out, the situation in Vienna quickly got out of control, and the mud was never able to support the wall.
The city defense army left behind really lived up to their reputation as a waste. After a brief exchange of fire, the timid noble officers actually flinched and did not suppress the rebellion in the first place.
The police in Vienna, because of the defection of the city government, became blindly obedient and temporarily took a neutral position.
In a way, the uprising was also a palace coup, and some of the aristocrats, caught up in the economic crisis, abandoned their class positions and sided with the revolutionary party.
They tried to reorganize the regime through revolutionary means, and by the way, they revolutionized the bankers and got rid of the debt crisis.
History has changed. The insurgent army seized the bank immediately, burned the IOU, and the Austrian financial group fell with blood mold.
In the face of the chaotic situation, Prime Minister Metternich panicked, the nobles panicked, the Council of Regents panicked, and the Vienna Court panicked.
The February Revolution in France had just passed, and they were still watching the jokes of the French. They did not expect the crisis to spread to Vienna so quickly.
This is the second great revolution for the French. The last time it has hit the aristocracy hard, serfdom has long been abolished, and the privileges of the aristocracy no longer exist.
This is just the beginning of Austria. The nobles still have a lot of privileges and a lot of benefits. This revolution is obviously aimed at them.
According to French custom, they would probably be hanged on the gallows, perhaps beaten to death by rioters. Prime Minister Metternich has long lost the calmness of the past, and at this time he has nothing to do.
As a qualified scapegoat, Metternich is the most hateful person in the eyes of the people. Once he falls into the hands of the rebels, it is a question of how he will die.
A man in a tuxedo said anxiously, "Sir Duke, the carriage is ready, let's go, it will be too late!"
Metternich was in a fierce struggle in his heart. He knew that at this time, he had become a target, and it was very dangerous to stay in Vienna.
But as a nobleman, he also has his own pride and is unwilling to be a deserter. As early as this morning, he had sent his family away and was left alone to deal with the situation at hand.
"Holder, I..."
Before Metternich could say the words, Holder reacted and gave full play to his duties as a good housekeeper, and ordered, "You guys, send the Duke away!"
These guards are all vassals of Prime Minister Metternich, and their loyalty is not in the slightest question. At this time, everyone can't care so much.
Ignoring Prime Minister Metternich's struggles, he forcibly put him in a dilapidated carriage and hurriedly left Vienna. At the same time, there were still people on the carriage that he used most often, rushing to the palace.
Adversity shows loyalty, and it's time for the nobles to give full play to their retainers. Not only Prime Minister Metternich, but also many nobles chose to flee Vienna at this time.
Now the only safe place in Vienna is the Royal Palace. Most of the soldiers in the rebel army still have a heart of awe for the Emperor. They refuse to attack the Palace, and the revolutionaries are powerless.
Even within the revolutionary party, many people have no plans to overthrow the Habsburg family. Most of them are actually reformers, and they joined the revolutionary party after they were desperate for reform.
At this time, there were a lot of messed up revolutionary armed forces. They didn't even have time to establish a unified leadership organization, and they fought their own way.
Most of the insurgents didn't even have guns, and they had a variety of weapons in their hands, as if traveling back in time to the Middle Ages.
Many ordinary people have no interest in the revolution. There is no market for revolutionary ideas in Austria. After venting their anger, many people dispersed.
In order to strengthen its own ranks and suppress the growing armed forces of the working class, the revolutionary party is desperate to pull in people.
For example, in the name of liberating political prisoners, all prisoners in Vienna prisons were released, and many criminals who were extremely vicious were transformed into members of the revolutionary party.
Gang members and gangsters also came out to take advantage of the fire at this time. Murder, arson, robbery, and rape of various flower-style crimes continued to be staged in Vienna.
The first to be hit was not the aristocracy, but ordinary Viennese citizens, small merchants and the middle class.
The dark night covers up endless sins. Vienna, an international metropolis, fell into the sea of sins this night.
