Get out?

This is impossible, Metternich is not stupid, and the enemy is waiting for him to go out at this time?

Don't try to explain, it's more likely that someone rushed up and beat him to death as soon as he came up, causing the established facts.

This kind of thing, what happened in history is not just one time, most of it was brought over by the Spring and Autumn Period, maybe it was a little more dark, and it became killed by angry people on the spot.

If the explanation is useful, the political struggle is not so complicated.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, order the expulsion of the demonstrators, or the situation will soon get out of hand!"

It was Oppenheimer, the head of the Vienna police, who was under the most pressure when something so big happened. Many in the government thought that Metternich was on the way and that they were already preparing for the future.

It's a pity that others can go, and he, the police chief, can't run away. Once Metternich falls, he will also have to get out of here, and if he doesn't do well, he will be liquidated.

Metternich wandered a few steps, and finally made up his mind: "Order the city guards to disperse the crowd!" ”

Before his order could be heard, the situation outside was already out of control. The revolutionaries who were in the crowd seized the opportunity and fired a shot at the intercepting soldiers, and with a habitual reflex, the soldiers also pulled the trigger.

"The army has killed people!"

After a shout, the crowd soon fell into confusion and fled.

This time there is no need to disperse the crowd, everyone has dispersed.

It's just that the sequelae are very serious, except for a small number of people, most of them know that the army has shot and killed.

And the revolutionary party that provoked the strife, the truth was naturally covered up.

The angry masses were being fooled into starting a revolution at this time, and the capitalists managed to raise some of the weapons, and at this time they also sent them.

A number of enthusiastic youths were selected, the revolutionary armed forces were established, and the rebels attacked the police station that night. The city of Vienna, which had already fallen to the revolutionary party, was at this time convenient for the rebels.

When the guns of the revolution rang out, the situation in Vienna quickly spiraled out of control, and the mud could not hold up to the wall.

The city defenders who remained behind were indeed worthy of their name as waste, and after a short exchange of fire, the timid aristocratic officers actually retreated, and did not suppress the rebellion in the first place.

The police in Vienna, too, became blindly obedient because of the defection of the city government, and were temporarily in a neutral position.

In a way, the revolt was also a palace coup d'état, in which some of the nobles, trapped in the economic crisis, abandoned their class position and sided with the revolutionaries.

They tried to reorganize the regime by revolutionary means, and by the way, revolutionized the bankers and got out of the debt crisis.

History changed, the rebels seized the banks and burned the IOUs at the first time, and the Austrian financial conglomerates poured blood mold.

Faced with the chaotic situation, Prime Minister Metternich panicked, the nobles panicked, the Regency Council panicked, and the Viennese court panicked.

The February Revolution that took place in France had just passed, and they were still watching the jokes of the French, not expecting that the crisis would spread to Vienna so soon.

This is the second great revolution of the French, the last time it has already dealt a heavy blow to the aristocracy, serfdom has long been abolished, and the privileges of the nobility no longer exist.

Austria was just beginning, and the aristocracy still had a great deal of privileges and a lot of interests, and the revolution was clearly directed at them.

According to French custom, they would probably be sent to the gallows, perhaps beaten to death by the rebels. Prime Minister Metternich has long since lost his former calmness, and at this time he has nothing to do.

As a qualified backbiter, Metternich is the most hateful person in the eyes of the people, and once he falls into the hands of the rebels, it is a question of how to die.

A man in a tuxedo said anxiously: "Lord Duke, the carriage is ready, let's go, it's too late!" ”

Metternich was fighting fiercely, and 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 he doesn't want to be a deserter. As early as this morning, he sent his family away and left alone to deal with the situation in front of him.

"Holder, I'm ......"

Before Metternich could speak, Holder reacted, and gave full play to the duties of a good steward, and ordered: "You guys send the Duke away!" ”

These guards are all retainers of Prime Minister Metternich, and there is no question about loyalty, and everyone can't care so much at this time.

Ignoring Prime Minister Metternich's struggles, he forcibly put him in a dilapidated carriage and left Vienna in a hurry. At the same time, there were people carrying his most common carriage towards the palace.

Adversity sees loyalty, and the time has come for the nobles and retainers to give full play. Not only Prime Minister Metternich, but also many nobles chose to flee Vienna at this time.

Now the only safe place in Vienna was the Imperial Palace, and the vast majority of the soldiers in the rebel army, who were still in awe of the Emperor, refused to attack the Imperial Palace, and the revolutionaries could do nothing.

Even within the revolutionary party, many people were not ready to overthrow the Habsburgs, and most of them were in fact reformers, who joined the revolutionary party after despairing of reform.

At this time, there were a large number of chaotic revolutionary armed forces, and they did not even have time to establish a unified leadership body, and they fought their own battles.

The vast majority of the rebels did not even have guns, and they had a variety of weapons in their hands, as if they had stepped back in time to the Middle Ages.

Many ordinary people had no interest in revolution, and there was practically no market for revolutionary ideas in Austria, and after venting their anger, many dispersed.

In order to strengthen its own ranks, in order to suppress the growing armed forces of the working class, the revolutionary party was desperate to pull people in, and the rebel army that had just started underwent a qualitative change and became a mixed bag.

For example, in the name of the liberation of political prisoners, all the prisoners in the Vienna prisons were released, and many of the most heinous criminals became members of the revolutionary party.

At this time, gangsters and gangsters also came out to take advantage of the fire to rob, murder, arson, robbery, and rape of all kinds of fancy crimes, which were constantly staged in Vienna.

It was not the aristocracy that was the first to be affected, but the ordinary Viennese burghers, small merchants and the middle class.

The night covered up endless evil, and Vienna, an international metropolis, was immersed in a sea of sin on this night.
