Budapest, which had been in fear since the siege of the city by Austrian troops, would have run away if it had not been for the illusions of the new government in the Kingdom of Sardinia as an ally.

Of course, those who didn't run away are also preparing to run. The city of Budapest is not small, and in order to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall, the Bohemian Legion strictly enforced the siege of three missing one.

It was still easy for a man to escape, and as long as it was not a large force out of the city, it would not be easy for the Austrian army to notice.

Gorgai, Minister of War of the Republic of Hungary, said with embarrassment: "Mr. Kossuth, I have just received information that the traitors in Croatia 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 soon be unable to hold it! ”

"General Gorgay is right, Budapest will not be able to hold back the enemy's troops at all, and this revolution has failed. In order to recover the losses as much as possible and keep Hungary, I propose to hold peace talks with the Vienna government! Interior Minister Semir spoke

With the military defeat, the Hungarian reactionary forces also began to raise their heads.

The bourgeois aristocracy led by Semir and the military compromise faction led by Gorbachev tried to protect their interests by negotiating with the Austrian government.

This was undoubtedly very bad news for Kossuth, who had advocated taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold long before the siege of the Bohemian legions, but was opposed by the military.

Now the enemy was busy fighting the local tyrants outside the city to divide the land, relying on the emancipation of the serfs and the distribution of land, the Austrian army had gained the support of the local people.

On the contrary, the Republic of Hungary was hostile to the local people, and in the eyes of the common people, the emperor in Vienna was their protector, and the Hungarian government in Budapest was only a tool for the nobles and capitalists to oppress them.

Education Minister Pei Duofei hurriedly objected: "No, now there are peace talks with Austria, and Hungary will be divided." The Vienna government is plotting to divide Hungary, and by then we will have only one province left!

We don't even have autonomy in this province. The Viennese government had the upper hand, how could it be possible to make a compromise? ”

Compromise, in fact, the revolutionaries did not mind compromising with the Viennese government, but the difference in conditions between the two sides was too great.

The Austrian government, headed by Franz, prepared to divide Hungary into five provinces: Croatia, Slavonia, Vojvodi, Transylvania, and Hungary.

It's no secret that Croatia and Transylvania have become independent provinces, and the provincial governments of Slavonia and Vojvodi are also in the pipeline.

Once this plan succeeded, the Kingdom of Hungary became history, and because of the ethnic relationship, they only had the only remaining Hungarian province to become independent, which was several times more difficult.

Xie Mier asked rhetorically: "Mr. Pei Duofei, but the reality is that we can't win the war at all!"

If they do not negotiate with the Austrian government, then the end result will probably be even worse, and they will turn Hungary into history.

In the long river of history, the disappeared nation is unknown, you don't want to watch the Hungarian nation disappear, do you? ”

Kossuth said excitedly: "The great Hungarian nation will not disappear, history will prove that the enemy's intrigues and tricks are futile, as long as we persevere, we will definitely win!"

In order to win this war, I have invited the famous Polish general Henrik Denbinski, and I believe that we will definitely win this war! ”

Semir's face sank and he did not speak, although he hated Kossuth's entry into speech at every turn, but it was the revolutionaries who were now in power, and he did not intend to directly clash with them.

How can the war be changed by the power of an individual?

They dared to establish the Republic of Hungary 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 not long after independence, Austria had stabilized domestically, but Hungary had been torn apart under the political offensive of the Vienna government, and the balance of power between the two sides had changed dramatically.

No one is stupid, except for the barefoot ones of the revolutionary party, and the rest of them are thinking about the way back. The Vienna government has not been soft on the rebels this time, who wants to work hard for those of them who have a family and a business?

……

What the big guys think, the people at the bottom of Budapest don't care anymore. They were struggling with three meals a day, and since the Austrian siege had cut off the transport of supplies between Budapest and the outside world.

Hungary is a major grain producer in Europe, and Budapest is surrounded by farmland, and there is no shortage of food in the city.

It's a pity that we can't stand the soaring prices! Don't talk about the overall situation with the capitalists, because there are many people who want money and don't want their lives, and at this crisis juncture, what they want is not to tide over the difficulties together, but to take advantage of the fire to rob.

For example, the cheapest brown bread is now 58 percent higher than it was before the revolution, and the price of coal for cooking is even higher than it was 100 percent.

In order to save fuel, many families have to cook together. Even so, rising prices are still struggling for them.

To make matters worse, the Hungarian republican government also issued republican coins and republican scrolls to plunder the wealth of the people.

Since the establishment of the Republic of Hungary, the people of Budapest have not had a few days of comfort. Nation, country, freedom, how can they fight against three meals a day?

On April 18, 1848, the workers' movement broke out in Budapest, and the hungry workers and poor citizens took to the streets to demand that the government calm prices, severely punish profiteers for raising prices, implement the "Labor Protection Law", and solve the problem of unemployment.

The Hungarian republican government, which was the spokesman of the bourgeoisie, naturally ignored their demands, and the Kossuth government immediately carried out brutal repression.

On April 23, 1848, the Austrian law abolishing serfdom reached Hungary, and the less exploited and oppressed Serfs of Kleszel revolted, and the rebels conquered the estate, killed the overseers, and divided the land.

The uprising soon spread along the Danube, which frightened the Hungarian aristocracy, who turned to Vienna and Budapest for help.

Undoubtedly, the Austrian government, which wanted to suppress the Hungarian aristocracy, refused on the grounds that it was beyond the reach of the whip. The Kossuth government, in order to win the support of the aristocracy, once again stood on the side of the people.

After the suppression of the workers' and peasants' movement, the Hungarian republican government gained the support of the capitalists and the aristocracy, and the cohesion of the Hungarian nation increased, and at the same time the break with the lower classes of the people was completed.
