Chapter 104: Framing and framing

By mid-May, there was a widespread food shortage in Budapest, and the high price of food had robbed the last of the people's pockets.

In order to stabilize order, the republican government had to start implementing a food rationing system.

In Budapest at this time, vegetables and fruits became luxuries, and meat products were withdrawn from the tables of ordinary people and became the exclusive supply of the aristocracy.

The only basic thing the government can provide is 500 grams of brown bread per person per day, plus 300 grams of potatoes and 200 grams of corn.

With just such a small amount of materials, the bureaucrats in the government are still profiting from it, and the shortage of catties and shortages is just a routine operation.

There are also black bread with impurities such as leaves and sawdust, potatoes that have changed color, and colorful corn, which people with poor digestive systems can die at any time if they eat these things.

Only the unthinkable, nothing can be done, and the discipline of the officials of the republican government can be called a model of the capitalist world.

Food shortages in Budapest were confined to the lower classes, and for the ruling class, there was no shortage of food, and their feasts did not stop even though the enemy had already attacked them.

Even through the underground black market, they began to plunder the wealth of the middle class and the petty bourgeoisie. The price of food has skyrocketed, and a piece of black bread without additives requires an equal weight of silver coins.

In an ordinary residential house in Budapest City, only fifty kilograms of bread can be bought at this time; Even in a bustling shop, the price is only a few hundred kilograms of bread at most.

In the corners of the city, there are women standing on the streets, and they can get their services just by needing a piece of black bread or a potato.

In order to reduce food consumption, the revolutionary government began to expel the old, weak, sick and disabled from the city in June, and Lieutenant General Julius accepted these refugees with a smile and made proper resettlement.

Franz was a propagandist, and reporters from the Austrian media were invited, wielding cameras to take pictures from all angles, which were important evidence to expose the crimes of the revolutionary party.

Now that the government does not need to intervene, looking at these yellow-faced and thin-skinned war refugees, and listening to them complain bitterly about the atrocities of the Hungarian republican government, the media with a "full sense of justice" are all vying to be the first to scold the unscrupulous Hungarian revolutionary government.

The Hungarian composer Liszt, who was famous in the Ming Dynasty, also mixed in with the reporters at this time, and the more he learned, the more he was hurt.

Not only him, but many literati and writers ran over, including some supporters of the revolutionary party, and the scenes in front of them made everyone directly die for the revolutionary party.

The pen of the literati is a murderous bloodless, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the Hungarian revolution was redefined.

Kossuth and others, who were trapped in Budapest, did not know that their reputation had been ruined, and tens of thousands of people submitted petitions to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would administer justice to them.

Franz, of course, accepted the petition of the people, made it clear that he would hold a public trial for all the rebels, and invited the victims to serve as a jury, and the jury voted to determine the final sentence.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the Austrian government's extermination of the revolutionaries.

How could this group of victims, who now want to devour the Revolutionary Party alive, show mercy to their men?

The end result will definitely be a lot of heads. It is still tried in the name of the people, and no matter how many killings are made, the Austrian government cannot be blamed.

Of course, this is only for one time, and the future Austria must be a country of the rule of law, and it is impossible to be so capricious.

Before the Revolution, Hungary and Austria were administered separately, and many of the laws of the two places were different, the Hungarian laws were out of date, and the Austrian laws were not implemented locally, so Franz could take advantage of the loopholes to hand over the sentencing power to the people.

……

Seeing that the flames of revolution were extinguished everywhere, and that the Kingdom of Sardinia, the only ally, was beaten by Austria with one hand, the revolutionaries were also thinking about the way back.

The Austrian army suddenly stopped attacking Budapest, which came as a great surprise to the revolutionaries, and Kossuth's first thought was internal response.

The Habsburgs have never lacked supporters in Hungary, and there are royalists in Budapest, and there are also royalists in Budapest, in addition to the nobles and capitalists who want to re-speculate.

Once these people are mobilized, Budapest will change hands in an instant.

The revolutionary party was so shallow that it was divided into different groups, and before 1847 the largest revolutionary groups numbered no more than three digits.

After the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the ranks of the revolutionaries expanded a hundredfold, and most of these people took the skin of the revolutionary party, which in fact had no binding force on them at all.

The after-effects of the rapid expansion of the ranks broke out, and without a strict revolutionary organization and a unified political program, most of the people became members of the revolutionary party because they were hot-headed or were too embarrassed to refuse on the recommendation of acquaintances.

No one wants to die, and revolutionaries are no exception. The Austrian army did not rush to attack, but the internal contradictions of the Hungarian republican government intensified.

After a series of defeats, Kossuth's prestige as a Führer had fallen to a critical point, and the opposition could not bear him, even his descendants began to doubt his ability.

The Hungarian National Guard expanded too quickly, mixed in with the sects, and Kossuth did not restrain them, and finally this rabble ignited strife.

On 8 June, a company of the National Revolutionary Army stormed the house of Count István on Kossuth's orders, labeled Count István a counter-revolutionary, executed dozens of people on the spot, including the Count, looted all the goods, and brought all the young women back to the barracks for sexual pleasure.

Things went into trouble, Count István was not an ordinary nobleman, he was respected by later generations of Hungarians: the greatest man in Hungary, such a person can also be killed at will?

You know, since the establishment of the Hungarian Republic, there have been many internal contradictions, and Kossuth personally asked Count István to intercede, and now he is actually executed for counter-revolutionary crimes?

At the Hungarian government meeting on June 9, the opposition led by Shemir attacked directly.

"Mr. Kossuth, I may ask who authorized you to convict Count István? And on what basis did a great nobleman be executed? What is the explanation for the atrocities that took place in the Earl's Court? ”

Kossuth's heart is broken, the conscience of heaven and earth, when did he order the execution of Count Istfan?

But the incident has already happened, the National Guard did it under his banner, and the company commander of the person concerned is now missing, and there is no way to restore the truth of the matter.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, I have never given such an order!" Kossuth flatly denied it
