Chapter 105: The Rebellion Ends

Howell, a conservative aristocrat, angrily asked: "Kossuth, your explanation is not convincing, and similar things have not happened one or two times, why don't you restrain the National Guard under your command?"

Count István and you are political enemies, and he is also opposed to the independence of Hungary, but we cannot deny his greatness because of this, and you should not brutally kill him because of personal vendettas. ”

Behm immediately retorted: "No, you are playing with fire and talking nonsense, how can Mr. Kossuth be a murderer!" ”

Shemir sneered: "General Bem, now that Mr. Kossuth is the head of government and the supreme commander of the National Guard, he has repeatedly obstructed the War Department from rectifying military discipline, and now that this kind of thing has happened, shouldn't he give us a reasonable explanation?" ”

The National Guard has developed to the present day, and it has completely degenerated, with traitors and criminals occurring from time to time, and its internal management is in disarray, and Kossuth, the supreme leader, cannot escape the blame.

As for the obstruction of the War Office in the rectification of military discipline, it was a struggle for power, and the Revolutionary Party did not want to see the War Office take the opportunity to penetrate deep into the National Guard.

But now, this was the best excuse to attack them, and whether or not Count István's death had anything to do with Kossuth, he must be held accountable for it.

Pei Duofei thought for a while and said: "The most important thing now is to catch the murderer, the missing company commander is the key person in this incident, and it is irresponsible to characterize this incident before he is caught!" ”

When he said this, there was a deep worry in his eyes. There is no way, Kossuth's discipline is really doubtful, who knows if this matter has anything to do with him?

War Secretary Gorge scoffed: "But at the first moment of the incident, the National Guard prevented the police from arresting the murderer."

Mr. Kossuth must be held accountable for this, and the fact that he has connived at the misdeeds of the National Guard, who are independent of the judiciary and free from the constraints of the law, and who can act on their own initiative, were the main factors that contributed to this tragedy.

Until the truth of the matter is clarified, it is necessary for the parties concerned to avoid suspicion, and I propose to suspend Kossuth and Bem...... and others in positions in the National Guard! ”

Gorgay saw this in his end, and directly put the charge of letting go of the murderer on the head of the National Guard, and took the opportunity to bring the National Guard under the command of the War Department.

This hurt Kossuth's supporters, who could not find a reason to refute it. You can't say that they are all gentlemen, and they won't hinder the investigation of the case, right?

Kossuth, who was forced into a corner, said helplessly: "Okay, I resign!" ”

This is no choice, the opposition within the government is in trouble, and even his younger brother has chosen to remain silent at this time, he has already betrayed his relatives.

……

A striking coincidence occurred in history, and under internal and external pressure, Kosuth was ousted from power, only this time in a more embarrassing way than in history.

After the opposition led by Shemir came to power, the first thing they did was not to investigate the case, but to immediately organize a breakthrough of the people.

Their approach did not arouse anyone's suspicion, after all, Budapest is sitting in a city of sorrow, and if it continues to defend it, it is waiting for death, and only by rushing out can there be a glimmer of life.

Outside the city, the command of the Austrian army.

"Commander, this is news from the city, the enemy is preparing to break through, this is their battle plan!" The combat staff officer whispered

After receiving the information, Lieutenant General Julius smiled, and the Hungarian republican government actually had a change of power at this time, and the capitulation faction took control of the power in a grand manner.

Selling teammates is also skillful, and it is certainly not possible to directly announce surrender, and it is impossible for the revolutionaries who have no way out to agree.

However, the National Guard is a rabble, and the defense of the city still has some combat effectiveness, and taking the initiative to attack is to send people to the head.

In the name of breaking through, let them go to death, and the goal can also be achieved.

……

On 12 June 1848, the Hungarian National Guard in Budapest launched a breakout operation and was scattered by the prepared Austrian army.

After the failed breakout, the Austrian army followed all the way into the city, and the Hungarian Republican government, led by Sémir, surrendered to the Austrian army.

The revolutionaries, unwilling to accept defeat, put up a stubborn resistance in the south corner of the city under the command of General Behm, and after two days of resistance, the whole army was annihilated.

As of June 15, the Hungarian rebellion, which had lasted for more than two months, came to an end in Budapest.

The war was over, but the aftermath of the war was just beginning, and Budapest was devastated by the rebellion, with a third of the city's buildings in ruins, and economic losses beyond count.

After the reconquest of Budapest, Lieutenant General Julius had not had time to celebrate, and he had another headache.

Looking at the huge captives in his hands against him, he was very wounded, and the slaughter was impossible. That's 150,000 people, including their families, how can they be killed?

Let? Then there is no need to think about it, for the sake of Hungary's long-term peace and stability, these hidden dangers must also be eliminated.

"Commander, it is better to give them to ...... in the name of the plague," proposed a young officer who hated the revolution

Julius shook his head and said, "No, now that so many media are watching, we have already aroused many doubts when we take out the top brass of the revolutionary party and let the people try it."

If you fabricate a plague, it's easy to get into a goof. You can't really create a plague, can you? It's uncontrollable, and if it spreads, we'll not have time to cry! ”

Governor Josip Jelačić proposed: "Actually, there is no need to kill them all. As long as the diehards are cleansed, the rest of the people will be sentenced to ten or twenty years, and they will be served with hard labor to atone for their crimes.

It is said that the Vienna rebellion did just that, and we can follow suit, as long as these people are not released, the threat they pose is under control! ”

Lieutenant General Julius lingered for a moment, and finally ordered: "All military officers, government officials, members of the revolutionary party, and intellectuals who have found excuses to execute."

When they couldn't find an excuse, they fabricated charges and had the court sentence them to death. It is really not possible to let the angry refugees beat them to death, or let them die of illness or commit suicide in fear of crime, and the rest of them are sentenced to hard labor. ”

After listening to Lieutenant General Julius's order, everyone's faces changed dramatically, which means that in the near future, tens of thousands of people will be killed.

But there was no objection, and that was what the Vienna government meant. Except for the smart people who fell to the Austrian government in time, the rest belonged to the purges.

The leaders of the revolutionary party had already been killed by the "stubborn resistance", including Kossuth, the Führer, who had seen God in the war.

In order to win the hearts of the people, Julius also held a funeral for Count István, and by the way, he gave the conclusion that Count István was the leader of the Hungarian royalists, and was brutally murdered by Kossuth because he refused to be with the revolutionaries.

There is no way, his hero and my enemy.

Count István was the leader of the Hungarian pragmatists, and although he was a member of the royalists, he was also a Hungarian.

It laid the foundation for the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, including the promotion of the Hungarian language and writing, the development of Hungarian culture, and so on. Historically, Hungary was able to reunite again after being divided, and his efforts were inseparable.

This kind of political philosophy, which was contrary to the Austrian government, was obviously not permissible, and many of the Hungarian magnates, including the Count of István, met God together.
