Hungary

As the news of the defeat of the Kingdom of Sardinia spread, more and more Hungarians lost faith in the revolution, and a series of cities such as Miskolc, Debrecen, Pec, and Segued fell one after another.

By mid-June, the last city of the Republic of Hungary remained, Budapest.

The revolutionaries, who were unwilling to accept defeat, fled to the countryside after losing important cities, trying to continue their stubborn resistance by relying on guerrilla warfare.

Unfortunately, the Hungarian people did not buy it, and in the eyes of the common people, the Habsburgs were their patron saints, and the Hungarian republican government was a plundering government composed of nobles and capitalists.

The people's war was not launched, but it was suppressed by the masses of the people.

It can be said that Franz's campaign to divide the land in Hungary was very successful, and he succeeded in throwing all the black history of Austria to the Hungarian self-government.

There was no shortage of clever people in the world, and the Hungarian aristocracy, who had experienced a civil strife and had been battered in strength, quickly put themselves in their position and took action to prove their role to the Viennese government, preparing to take advantage of the new social system.

This is the way of survival of the ancient aristocracy, who know how to compromise with reality. The nouveau riche, who did not learn this, received a boxed lunch as early as Austria during the suppression of the Hungarian rebellion.

In an old castle outside the city of Arab, a young man was angrily exclaiming, "Father, are we really going to do this? Once the Kingdom of Hungary ceases to exist, we will only be able to ......"

The old man waved his hand and said earnestly: "Auguste, don't be blinded by interests!"

The Kingdom of Hungary no longer exists, it was doomed from the moment the Hungarian Revolution began, and the determination of the Viennese government to break up Hungary will not waver.

Although we are worthy of admiration for the courage of the mantis arm to block the car, we must not follow it, this is our ancestral motto.

Since it is no longer possible to avoid the partition of Hungary, why not take advantage of this opportunity and get the most benefits?

The Austrian government was able to use this revolution to break up the Kingdom of Hungary, but it still lacked legal basis, and this was our chance. ”

August frowned and said, "But father, the Vienna government has divided our land, and the millions of hectares of land inherited from our ancestors have become history, and we will never get them back!" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "What do you want?" These lands have been divided into the hands of hundreds of thousands of people, and no one can get them back, do you want to become mortal enemies with the subjects of our fiefdoms for these lands?

August, you're too extreme. Things have happened, and the most important thing is not to complain, let alone retaliate, but to stop losses in time!

Don't forget, these lands were taken out in the name of ransom, and we didn't get the ransom money, and at this time the Vienna government wants you to mess around, so that they don't have to give any of them. ”

The great aristocracy of the Kohali family was very focused on fiefdom management, angry and notorious, it was the style of the nouveau riche and the loser, and the real ancient aristocracy attached great importance to reputation.

Wars of the nobility often broke out in Europe, and the nobles had to rely on their subjects in their fiefs to work for their lives, and if they won their support, why did the great nobles have a special status?

The wealth is moving, and now that the land has been divided and the wood has been completed, the serfs who got the land are certainly not willing to give up, and if they want to get the land back, they must stand on the opposite side of these people.

There is no way, at this time you can only stop the loss. As for retaliating against the Austrian government, the idea can be had, and even secretly cause trouble for them, but there can be no action on the surface.

Perhaps because of the marriage of the great nobles, the Habsburgs had no way to kill them, but it was still possible to withhold their demolition compensation, not the land ransom money.

The ransom of millions of hectares of land, even if it is a discount, is not a small amount, and no one can refuse this wealth.

It is also not so simple to get this money, the land ransom money is collected by the Austrian government, and they will definitely not take it out so easily.

Even if it is not for the sake of the credibility of the government, it is not possible to repay the debts directly, as long as they give full play to the subjective initiative of the bureaucrats, and the custody becomes a series of debts in their lifetime.

Thinking of this, August instantly withered. It was clear that the Austrian government had harmed their interests, but in order to stop the loss, they had to help the Austrian government stabilize the local area.

At least until this huge land ransom money is in hand, they must side with the Austrian government, and hope that Austria will develop better, otherwise no one will pay them back.

After a long silence, August said helplessly: "Okay, I'll promote the petition movement and let the Austrians justifiably split Hungary!" ”

For the huge amount of land ransom that belonged to the Kohali family, no matter how reluctant he was in his heart, August could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Mobilizing a popular petition to become a Habsburg dependency gave the Austrian government a pretext for the partition of Hungary, which was the first step in selling good to Vienna.

Franz is going to eat the face, it is easy to split Hungary, but it is difficult to convince the locals, after the Kingdom of Hungary was split in history, it didn't take long for it to come back to the dead, but the local people were not convinced.

If it was the local people who applied for it to become a Habsburg direct domain, then this would not be a problem. This is public opinion, and no one can find fault with it.

Public opinion is blindly followed, and at this time it is the turn of the nobles to perform, and with them taking the lead and the popularity of the Habsburgs among the people, it is easy to plan such a petition.

……

Budapest, now an isolated city, seemed to have lost interest in attacking the Austrian army, and had not attacked for a week.

The Danube is there, the city is not short of water, there is no way to replenish other materials, hesitate to lack industrial raw materials, the factory has long ceased to operate.

A large number of unemployed people are faced with high prices, the economy of the cities has collapsed, and the young and strong can still join the National Guard to eat a mouthful, and the old, weak, sick and disabled have completely lost their economic resources.

The collapse of discipline in the National Guard was largely due to the fact that the soldiers still had families to support, and the poor Hungarian republican government could not afford to pay them a small family.

In order for their families not to starve, they also had to suppress the "counter-revolutionaries" in order to seize enough wealth from the "enemy" to support their families.
