On April 1, 1848, after the Austrian army abandoned the Lombardy region, the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, who were grinding their fists, quickly completed the replacement.

Amid the cheers of the populace, the Sardinian soldiers entered Lombardy without a fight, as if the good days they had been expecting were coming.

Before leaving, Marshal Radkis helped them to promote it, as if the Kingdom of Sardinia could meet the interests of all, including the republicans.

The tricolor flag is fluttering in the wind, and the people in the streets and alleys are congratulating each other.

"Long live the Republic!"

Spread throughout Lombardy, a provisional government headed by Kazati was established.

The Austrian army seems to have gone in such a hurry that even the political prisoners in the prisons had not had time to take them away, and they all became members of the Provisional Government.

If anyone pays attention, they will find that the granaries in the city of Milan are empty, and after the declaration of war between the Kingdom of Sardinia and Austria, Marshal Radesky collected grain from Lombardy on the pretext of uniform distribution of food.

Because of the time, the countryside did not have time to implement it, but the grain of the city of Milan was indeed concentrated.

The Austrian army secretly transported part of it out of the city, and the rest was naturally doused with fire oil and another fire.

The food is gone, the people are not panicked at all, and the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia has already entered the city?

Which what?

Before the Austrian army withdrew, there were rumors that King Charles wanted everyone to burn the food in the city, forcing the Austrians to withdraw their troops, so as not to destroy the city of Milan.

Therefore, Field Marshal Radkiss sent people to burn most of the food two days in advance, and the Austrian soldiers called on the people to put out the fire.

The Milanese people, who are eager for independence, naturally will not give in, and everyone very heroically chose to refuse, even if they are beaten, they still do 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 Kazati, who was proud of the spring breeze, had just had an unfriendly meeting with General Badolio of the Kingdom of Sardinia, which directly ruined his good mood.

The timid army of the Kingdom of Sardinia did not dare to pursue the Austrian army, which simply disgraced the face of the great Italian nation.

This time, unlike in history, the Austrian army was evacuated by itself, not driven out by them, and the rebels in the city had already been wiped out.

The army in the hands of the Provisional Government of Khazati was still being formed, and even he himself had 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 terms with the Kingdom of Sardinia, and if they did not pursue the enemy, Kazati had no way, and anyway, the Provisional Government would not be able to send troops to pursue the enemy.

Ziraya, the new Minister of the Interior, hurriedly ran over and said: "Your Excellency, there is no food in the city, and we have no ability to provide food and grass to friendly troops!" ”

This is an embarrassing question, they should have discovered these problems a long time ago, but unfortunately when they set fire to the food, they were all in prison.

Coupled with the fact that there is no experience in governance, everyone is celebrating a hard-won victory, and who remembers to care about the issue of food?

Kazati asked whimsically, "What then?" I have just promised them that I will provide food and grass to the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia, can you collect a batch of food emergency from the people? ”

Ziraya explained: "Your Excellency, this is impossible, for in order to hold the city of Milan, the Austrians collected the entire city's food, and everyone was to be supplied according to rations, and only two days' worth of food could be distributed at a time.

In order to defeat the Austrians, the Kingdom of Sardinia sent spies to burn the grain in the city of Milan, and our men cooperated with them.

In fact, the Austrian troops in Milan were either without the strength to fight, and they fled in a hurry because we burned down the granaries! ”

Feeling tricked, Kazati's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he cursed: "Damn! The Sardinians did it on purpose, and just now they didn't mention the burning of grain at all, so I promised to provide food and grass for the army entering the city!

They are deliberately looking at our jokes! No, it's not that simple, the Sardinians are interested in annexing Lombardy in the conversation just now, this is their conspiracy! ”

Hearing the news, Ziraya was frightened and turned pale, now the provisional government has no bargaining chips in its hands, and if the Sardinians use food as a threat, they will not agree.

Hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the President, we must take action, when we set fire to the food, they promised to provide us with food, otherwise our people will not cooperate with them!" ”

Kazati also reacted, at this time, it is not possible to solve the problem by scolding, even if it is to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Sardinia, they have to sell it for a good price, it is impossible to let the Kingdom of Sardinia pick up the cheap so simply.

"You're right, get the news out at once, and inform our people to be vigilant, I'm afraid the Sardinians will get angry and attack us!"

……

At this time, King Charles Albert of Sardinia was still basking in the joy of winning Lombardy without blood.

The top brass of the Kingdom of Sardinia are also celebrating, or they are thinking about how to annex Lombardy, and everyone is now very optimistic.

I didn't notice that a black cauldron fell from the sky, everyone is a politician, and the way of looking at problems is naturally different.

Deliberately abandoning the Lombardy region, this is not something that a politician could have come up with. You must know that the situation in Austria is not very good now, and the normal way to open it should be to concentrate on suppressing the rebellion and making an example to deter its careerists.

The military camp of the Kingdom of Sardinia in Milan has now reached meals, but the food promised by President Kazati has not yet arrived.

The high-ranking officers don't care, they have already been invited to a banquet by the celebrities in the city, and no matter how short of food they are, these bigwigs will not go hungry.

The European aristocracy is a nest, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, the nobles of the Milan region and the nobles of the Kingdom of Sardinia, that is also a strip of water, and the blood is cut and unorganized.

Even if Colonel Manstu, who stayed behind, had a headache, and when it was time for dinner, the soldiers were all looking at him? If it weren't for the hunger of everyone, maybe these soldiers would have gone berserk.

Even so, Colonel Manstu did not have a good time, and while calming the morale of the troops and calming them down, he sent people to urge the Provisional Government to send food as soon as possible.

The Austrians withdrew too quickly, and they entered the city ahead of time without much preparation. The supplies were left in the camp twenty miles outside the city, and at this time it was natural to reach out to the provisional government.
