On April 1, 1848, after the Austrian army gave up the Lombardy region, the Sardinian army, which was gearing up, quickly completed the replacement.
In the cheers of the people, the Kingdom of Sardinia entered the Lombardy region without bloodshed, as if the good day they were looking forward to was coming.
Before he left, Marshal Radkis helped them spread the word. In everyone's mind, it seemed that the Kingdom of Sardinia could meet the interests of everyone, including the republican faction.
The tricolor flag fluttered in the wind, and people in the streets were congratulating each other.
"Long Live the Republic!"
It spread throughout Lombardy, and a provisional government headed by Kazati was established.
The Austrian army seems to have gone too hastily, and even the political prisoners in the prison have not had time to take them away, and these people have become members of the provisional government.
If anyone pays attention, they will find that the granary in the city of Milan is empty. After the Sardinian Kingdom and Austria declared war, Marshal Radesky collected food from the Lombardy region on the grounds of uniformly allocating food.
Due to time constraints, the rural areas did not have time to implement it, but the food in Milan was indeed concentrated.
The Austrian army secretly transported part of it out of the city, and the rest was naturally doused with kerosene, and it was done with another fire.
There was no food, and the people did not panic at all. Didn't the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia already enter the city
Which what
Before the withdrawal of the Austrian army, there were rumors that King Charles wanted everyone to burn the food in the city, forcing the Austrians to withdraw, so as not to let the city of Milan be destroyed in the war.
Therefore, Marshal Radkis sent people to burn most of the food two days in advance, and the Austrian soldiers also called on the people to put out the fire.
The Milanese people who yearn for independence will naturally not give in. Everyone heroically chose to refuse. Even if they were severely beaten, they still would not give in.
In the end they were victorious, successfully burning down the granary, forcing the Austrian army back, and keeping the city of Milan.
President Kazzati, who is proud of the spring breeze, just had a not very friendly meeting with General Bardorio of the Sardinian Kingdom, which directly ruined his good mood.
The cowardly army of the Kingdom of Sardinia dared not pursue the Austrian army, which is simply a disgrace to the great Italian nation.
This time, unlike history, the Austrian army evacuated by itself, but was not driven out by them. The rebels in the city had long been wiped out.
The army in the hands of the interim government is still being formed, and even he himself has just come out of prison.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
The Provisional Government did not have the capital to negotiate conditions with the Kingdom of Sardinia. If they did not pursue the enemy, Kazati had no choice. Anyway, the Provisional Government could not send troops to pursue the enemy.
Zilaya, the new Minister of the Interior, ran over in a hurry and said, "Your Excellency, there is no food in the city, and we have no ability to provide food and grass to our friendly troops!"
This is an embarrassing problem. They should have discovered these problems long ago. Unfortunately, when the food was set on fire, they were all in prison.
In addition, without any governance experience, everyone is celebrating the hard-won victory. Who remembers the issue of food
Kazzati asked imaginatively: "What should I do? I just made a promise to them that I will provide food and grass to the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Can I collect a batch of food emergency from the people?"
Chilaya explained: "Your Excellency President, this is impossible. In order to defend the city of Milan, the Austrians have collected food from the whole city. Everyone must supply food according to the ration system, and can only distribute food for two days at a time.
In order to defeat the Austrians, the Kingdom of Sardinia sent spies to burn the food in the city of Milan, and our people cooperated with them.
In fact, the Austrian army in Milan was either without the strength to fight, or because we burned the granary, they fled in a hurry! "
Feeling cheated, Kazzati couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and cursed: "Damn it! The Sardinians did it on purpose. They didn't mention the matter of burning food just now, so I agreed to give it to those who entered the city. The army provides food and grass!
They are watching our jokes on purpose! No, things are not so simple. In the conversation just now, the Sardinians intend to annex Lombardy. This is their conspiracy! "
Hearing this news, Qilaya was so frightened that his face turned ashen. Now the interim government has no bargaining power. If the Sardinians use food as a threat, they will not agree.
He quickly said: "Your Excellency, we must take action. When we set fire to food, they promised to provide us with food, otherwise our people will not cooperate with them!"
Kazzati also reacted. At this time, it is not possible to solve the problem by scolding people. Even if they want to merge into the Sardinian Kingdom, they have to sell it for a good price. It is impossible for the Sardinian Kingdom to take advantage of it so easily.
"You're right, spread the news immediately, and notify our people to be careful and vigilant. I'm worried that the Sardinians will become angry and attack us!"
…
At this time, the Sardinian King Charles-Albert was still in the joy of winning Lombardy without a fight.
The top executives of the Sardinian Kingdom are also celebrating, or they are thinking about how to annex the Lombardy region. In short, everyone is very optimistic now.
I didn't even notice that a black pot was falling from the sky. Everyone is a politician, and their way of looking at problems is naturally different.
Deliberate abandonment of the Lombardy region is not something a politician can come up with. You must know that the current situation in Austria is not very good. The normal way to open it should be to concentrate on suppressing the rebellion, killing one example and deterring its careerists.
At the military camp of the Kingdom of Sardinia in Milan, it is now time for meals, but the food promised by President Kazzati is still not in place.
It doesn't matter to the high-level officers, they have been invited to a banquet by celebrities in the city, no matter how short of food, these big men will not go hungry.
The European nobles are a nest. There is nothing wrong with this sentence. The nobles of the Milan region and the nobles of the Sardinian kingdom are also separated by a strip of water.
Colonel Manstu, who stayed behind, even had a headache. When it was time for dinner, the soldiers were all looking at him? If it wasn't for everyone being hungry together, these soldiers might have gone into a frenzy.
Even so, the life of Colonel Manstu was not easy. On the one hand, he reassured the military to keep them calm, and on the other hand, he sent people to urge the provisional government to send food quickly.
The Austrians were withdrawing too quickly, and they entered the city early without much preparation. The supplies were all left in the camp twenty miles outside the city, so it was natural to reach out to the interim government at this time.
