In Budapest, since the Austrian army besieged the city, people in the city have been panicking. If the new government still has illusions about the Sardinian kingdom, many people will now run away.
Of course, those who did not run are also preparing to run. The city of Budapest is not small. In order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall, the Bohemian Legion strictly enforced the siege.
It is easy for a person to run away, as long as the large army does not leave the city, the Austrian army is not easy to notice.
Gorge, Minister of Army of the Republic of Hungary, said in embarrassment: "Mr. Kossuth, just received information that the Croatian traitors will join the Austrians outside the city tomorrow.
At that time, the number of enemy troops besieging the city will rise to 150,000, and Budapest will not be able to hold back immediately! "
"General Gorge is right. Budapest can't stop the enemy's front at all. This revolution has failed. In order to recover the losses as much as possible and keep Hungary, I propose to negotiate with the Vienna government!" Interior Minister Shemier speak up
With the military defeat, the Hungarian reactionary forces also began to rise.
The bourgeois aristocrats headed by Shemir and the military compromisers headed by Gorbachev tried to secure their own interests by negotiating with the Austrian government.
This is undoubtedly a huge piece of bad news for Kossuth. As early as before the Bohemian Legion besieged the city, he advocated taking the initiative to attack while the enemy's foothold was not stable, but unfortunately it was opposed by the military.
Now the enemy is fighting the local tyrants to divide the land outside the city, and they are very busy. By liberating the serfs and distributing the land, the Austrian army has gained the support of the local people.
On the contrary, the Hungarian Republic is hostile to the local people. In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor in Vienna is their protector, while the Hungarian government in Budapest is just a tool for the nobles and capitalists to squeeze them.
Education Minister Petofi hurriedly objected: "No, now with the peace talks with Austria, Hungary will be divided. The Vienna government is conspiring to divide Hungary, and then we will only have one province left!
Even this one province, we have no autonomy. The Vienna government had the upper hand, how could a compromise be made? "
Compromise, in fact, the revolutionaries do not mind compromising with the Vienna government, but the gap between the two sides is too great.
The Austrian government headed by Franz planned to divide Hungary into five provinces: Croatia, Slavonia, Vojvodi, Transylvania and Hungary.
It is no secret that Croatia and Transylvania have become independent provinces, and the provincial governments of Slavonia and Vojvodi are also preparing.
Once this plan is successful, the Kingdom of Hungary will become history. Because of the national relationship, they will only have the only remaining Hungarian province if they want to become independent. This difficulty increases several times.
Xie Mier asked back: "Mr. Petofi, but the real problem is that we can't win the war at all!
If there is no negotiation with the Austrian government, the final result may be even worse, and they will turn Hungary into history.
In the long river of history, there are countless people who have disappeared. You don't want to watch the Hungarian nation disappear, right? "
Kossuth said excitedly: "The great Hungarian nation will not disappear. History will prove that the enemy's intrigues are futile. As long as we persevere, we will definitely win!
In order to win this war, I have invited the famous Polish player Henrik Dembinski, I believe we can win this war! "
Shemiel's face sank and he didn't speak. Although he hated Kossuth's sudden speech, the revolutionaries were still in power, and he did not intend to directly conflict with them.
The war has come to this point, how can it be changed by individual strength
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 knows that it was not long after independence, Austria stabilized, but Hungary was torn apart under the political offensive of the Vienna government, and the balance of power between the two sides has undergone amazing changes.
No one is a fool, except for the barefooted people of the Revolutionary Party, the rest of the people are thinking about the way back. The Vienna government did not show any mercy to the rebels this time. Who would like to work hard for them, who have families and businesses
…
What the big man thinks, the people at the bottom of Budapest don't care anymore. They are worrying about three meals a day. Since the Austrian army besieged the city, the material transportation channel between Budapest and the outside world has been cut off.
Hungary is the main grain producing area in Europe, and Budapest is surrounded by farmland, and there is no shortage of grain in the city.
It's a pity that prices are soaring! Don't talk to the capitalists about the overall situation. There are many people who want money but not their lives. At this juncture, what they want is not to tide over the difficulties together, but to take advantage of the fire.
Taking the cheapest brown bread as an example, it is now 58% higher than it was before the revolution, and the price of coal for cooking fires is even higher by 100%.
To save fuel, many families have to cook together. Even so, rising prices are making it difficult for them.
To make matters worse, the Hungarian republican government also issued republic coins, recovered scrolls, and plundered private wealth.
Since the establishment of the Hungarian Republic, the people of Budapest have not lived a comfortable life for a few days. How can the nation, the state, and freedom be the enemy of three meals a day
On April 18, 1848, a labor movement broke out in Budapest. Starving workers and poor citizens took to the streets, demanding the government to pacify prices, severely punish profiteers for price gouging, implement the Labor Protection Law, and solve the problem of unemployment.
As the spokesman of the bourgeoisie, the Hungarian republican government naturally ignored their demands, and the Kossuth government carried out brutal suppression immediately.
On April 23, 1848, Austria's bill to abolish serfdom was passed to Hungary, and the little Kresh serfs who could not bear the exploitation and oppression revolted. The rebel army captured the manor, killed the overseer, and divided up the land.
The uprising soon spread along the Danube, terrifying the Hungarian nobles, who turned to Vienna and Budapest for help.
There is no doubt that the Austrian government, which wanted to suppress the Hungarian aristocracy, refused on the grounds that it was out of reach. In order to win the support of the nobles, the Kossuth government once again stood on the opposite side of the people.
After suppressing the workers' and peasants' movement, the Hungarian republican government won the support of capitalists and nobles, the cohesion of the Hungarian nation increased, and it also completed a break with the bottom people.
