Chapter 61: Hungary (for tickets)

The Vienna government suppressed the Prague and Galician rebellions successively. After the news reached Hungary, the opposition led by Kosut could not sit still.
Judging from the current situation, the Vienna government has no intention of compromising the Revolutionaries. Apart from suppression or suppression, especially the suppression that took place in Galicia has made many people scared.
Ludwig von Benedek, responsible for suppressing the Galician rebellion, directly allowed the local people to retaliate against the nobles and capitalists. Most of the more than 20,000 people who died were killed by the people.
It is impossible for the Vienna government to execute more than 20,000 people at one time, and Franz is also embarrassing. For the long-term stability of Austrian Poland, killing with a knife has become the only option.
A group of militia members was mobilized from the local area, and the conflicts between them and the exploiting cliques were used to clean up the reactionary elements who were doing their best.
Throughout the country, except for the regional war in Italy, almost all of the rebellions were suppressed by blood, and Hungary was about to fight alone.
If we advance the time by one month, the Hungarian cabinet government has not yet been established, there is still the possibility of compromise between the two sides, and even before the issuance of the independence declaration on April 14th, there is still a chance to turn back.
Now the Vienna government has not acknowledged the legitimacy of the Hungarian cabinet, and has ordered them to disband the illegal government.
Kosut has always advocated leaving Austria and establishing an independent Hungarian republic. Unfortunately, this concept has a limited market in Hungary.
Most nobles are worried about security after independence. After all, Hungary was merged with Austria. In addition to the marriage of the Habsburgs, there is also the need for Austrian protection.
They are more willing to follow Austria than Teddy Bear and Ottoman. It's just that the central government in Vienna has been weak over the years and has gradually lost its majesty. Through a series of temptations, they found that the crying child had milk.
In order to get rid of the restrictions of Austria and obtain greater benefits, the capitalists accepted the nationalism transmitted from France, and the Austrian opposition forces led by Kosut began to grow.
However, this does not mean that Hungary has the ability to escape from Austria's independence, and many people remain skeptical of the armed revolution.
A young man hurriedly said, "Mr. Kosut, the big deal is bad, the Vienna government sent a legal lecturer into Hungary, I'm afraid it's for us!"
Hearing this news, Kosut's face changed greatly. What was the purpose of the Austrian legal lecturer coming here? Is it just for the Hungarians to spread the law?
If Franz were here, he would say--yes, the purpose of sending a legal lecturer is really just to popularize the law.
Of course, declaring the establishment of the Hungarian cabinet illegal is also indispensable, but this can only be considered incidental, the main thing is to divide the Kingdom of Hungary.
The needs of different class interests are also different. A series of laws promulgated by the Vienna government are essentially to buy ordinary people.
There is no way, it is not that Franz does not want to buy the elite, it is easier to buy the minority than the majority. The problem is that their asking price is too high and they can't afford it at all.
The Hungarian delegation, represented by Kosut in March, made a request to the Vienna government to establish an independent government in Hungary and to abolish the feudal system.
Franz was very open-minded in the difficult round of negotiations, and he did not exclude reform. He even advocated that the reform should be more thorough.
However, when encountering a group of idealist + bourgeois interest group spokespersons, the two sides obviously could not reach an agreement.
If the Vienna government dared to accept their terms, it would be Austrians' revolution.
Equal rights are not equal to privileges. Franz can give all nations equal status, but he can never let the Hungarian people prevail over them.
This relates to the national conditions of the Kingdom of Hungary. There are more than 13 million people in the country, of which there are more than 500,000 nobles. It can be said that the nobles are flying all over the sky.
Hungarian capitalists have another identity-aristocracy, so the relationship between Hungarian capitalists and aristocrats is very complicated. This less than 2% of the population occupies more than 95% of society's wealth.
The Hungarian nation in this period actually refers to the more than 500,000 aristocrats and capitalists who have many privileges and are the true exploiting class in this country.
To a certain extent, Austria is not a true autocratic empire, but an alliance of big nobles. The central government's control of the locality is achieved by the nobles' will.
The Hungarian nationalist movement that is now erupting is actually the main force of small and medium nobles and capitalists. They combine the concept of the state with their own interests and put on a layer of nationalist aura when competing for interests.
This is why the Hungarian government headed by Kosut, while shouting for reform, refused to implement the Vienna government reform bill.
Even if everyone agreed to abolish serfdom, it was not enforced in Hungary, and the nobles concealed the Vienna government's abolition of slavery.
Well, this responsibility cannot be counted on Kosut. After all, his leader is like the Artillery Party, but a product of everyone's compromise, not by virtue of superiority.
This can be seen from the Hungarian election on April 12, 1848. Although the mouth declared that the popular elections are to be opened, in fact, this Hungarian presidential election is still only in Budapest.
Only 162,000 people have the right to vote in Budapest. According to the "Hungarian people" at that time, it can be regarded as a universal suffrage system.
The final result was that a total of 5,176 votes were received. Kossuth was elected with a high result of 1,639 votes. Of course, the results announced to the public are certainly not this number.
Judging from these figures, Franz's butterfly effect still plays a role, and more people choose to sit on the sidelines than in history.
"Nagi, send someone out of the country immediately, we in Hungary don't welcome them!" Kosut said grimly.
As a compromised president, there are too many people in the Kingdom of Hungary who do not buy his account, and even in the minds of many people, this Hungarian Republic is a joke, knowing from everyone's indifference to the election.
Kosut's anger was not without reason. The Hungarian Republic was established, but Ferdinand I still served as the Kingdom of Hungary.
Without a king, there is no aristocracy. For their own benefit, the Hungarian nobles insisted on opposing the abolition of the king, forced by the situation Kossuth was compelled to compromise, and now there is a king under his presidency, which greatly reduces his rights.
