Chapter 105: Planting


By mid-May, food shortages had occurred in Budapest on a large scale, and high food prices had wiped out the last wealth in the people's pockets.
In order to stabilize the order, the Republican government had to start implementing the food ration system.
At this time in Budapest, vegetables and fruits became luxury products, and meat products also withdrew from ordinary people's tables and became exclusive supplies for nobles.
The government can provide only 500 grams of dark bread per person per day, plus 300 grams of potatoes and 200 grams of corn.
With just a few supplies, the bureaucrats in the government are still profiting from it, and shortfalls are routine operations.
Black hearts, as well as dark bread with impurities such as leaves and sawdust, potatoes that have changed color, colorful corn, and people with poor digestive systems can eat these things at any time.
Only the unexpected, and the impossible, can be called a model of the capitalist world.
The food shortage in Budapest is limited to the people at the bottom. For the ruling class, they are not short of food. Although the enemy has already come to the door, their banquets have not stopped.
Even through the underground black market, they began to plunder the wealth of the middle class and petty bourgeoisie. The price of food has been fried to the sky, a piece of dark bread without additives requires equal weight of silver coins.
In an ordinary residential house in Budapest, at this time only 50 kilograms of bread can be bought; even if it is a bustling shop, the price is only a few hundred kilograms.
In the corner of the city, women standing on the street are everywhere, they just need a piece of black bread or a potato to get their services.
In order to reduce food consumption, starting in June, the revolutionary government expelled the old, the weak, and the sick from the city. Lieutenant General Julius accepted the refugees with a smile, and made proper resettlement.
Franz attaches great importance to propaganda. Journalists from all major Austrian media have been invited to come and wave their cameras to take photos from various angles. These are important evidences to expose the crimes of the Revolutionary Party.
Now, without the government's help, watching these skinny war refugees, and listening to their brutal complaints about the atrocities of the Hungarian Republican government, the media with "a sense of justice" scolded the bad revolutionary government of Hungary.
The well-known Hungarian composer Liszt also got into the press team at this time, and the more he knew, the more he was injured.
Not only him, many literati and writers came over, including some supporters of the Revolutionary Party, and the scene in front of them made everyone directly dead to the Revolutionary Party.
The literati's pen was killing without seeing the blood. With the joint efforts of everyone, the Hungarian revolution was redefined.
Kosut and others trapped in Budapest did not know that their reputation was bad. Tens of thousands of people submitted petitions to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could preside over them.
Franz, of course, accepted the petition of the people, made it clear that a public trial will be held for all the unrest, and the victims were invited to serve as a jury, and the jury voted to determine the final sentence.
Everyone knows that this is the Austrian government's complete slaughter of the revolutionaries.
How can this group of victims now be devouring the Revolutionary Party?
The final result must be the killing of people. The trial was still conducted in the name of the people, and no matter how many kills were made, the Austrian government could not be blamed.
Of course, this is limited to one time. In the future, Austria is bound to be a legal country, and it will not be so willful.
Before the Revolution, Hungary and Austria were managed separately. Many laws in the two places were different. Hungarian laws were out of date and Austrian laws had not been implemented locally. Only then could Franz find a way to hand over sentencing to the public.
...
Watching the revolutionary fires everywhere were extinguished, and the only ally, the Kingdom of Sardinia, was hanged by Austria with one hand, at this time the revolutionaries were thinking about the way forward.
The sudden suspension of the Austrian army's attack on Budapest surprised the revolutionaries, and Kosut first thought of Neiying.
The Hapsburg family has never lacked supporters in Hungary, and there are also royalists in Budapest. In addition, nobles and capitalists who want to re-speculate are definitely not a minority.
Once these people started, Budapest would change hands in no time.
The foundation of the Revolutionary Party is too shallow, and it also divided into different groups. Before 1847, the number of the largest revolutionary groups did not exceed three digits.
After the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the number of revolutionary troops expanded by a factor of 100. Most of these people took the skin of the Revolutionary Party. In fact, the Revolutionary Party did not have any binding force on them.
The aftermath of the rapid growth of the team broke out. Without a rigorous revolutionary organization and a unified political program, most people were hot-headed or acquainted with acquaintances and refused to recommend them, and they became members of the Revolutionary Party.
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 were intensifying.
After a series of failures, the prestige of Kosut's head of state has reached a critical point, and the opposition is intolerable to him. Even his subordinates have begun to doubt his ability.
The Hungarian National Self-Defense Forces expanded too fast, mixed with three religions and nine streams, and Kossuth did not restrict it. Finally, the black people ignited the dispute.
On June 8, a company of the National Revolutionary Army stormed into the house of Count Eastvan by order of Kosut, put a counter-revolutionary hat on Count Eastvan, and executed counts including the Count on the spot. Ten people, after looting the goods, brought all the young women back to the barracks in the barracks.
The incident was in trouble. Count Estefan was not an ordinary aristocracy. He was respected by future generations of Hungarians: the greatest person in Hungary. Such people can be killed casually?
You know, since the establishment of the Hungarian Republic, there have been many internal contradictions. Kosut also personally asked Earl Estefan to mediate. Now he has been executed for counter-revolutionary crimes?
At the Hungarian government meeting on June 9, the opposition led by Shemir directly fired.
"Mr. Kosut, may I ask who authorized you to convict Earl of Estefan? Why did you execute a great aristocrat? What's the explanation for the atrocities in the earl's house?"
Kosut's heart collapsed, heaven and earth conscience, when did he order the execution of Earl Estefan?
But things have happened. The National Guard has done it under his banner. The company commander of the party is now unknown, and the truth of the matter cannot be restored.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, and I have never given such an order!" Kosut denied yoke.
