Struggle in Russia

The rapid change in the situation made the Hungarians feel a little overwhelmed. The moment before, they felt that the wind was cold and the water was cold, but the victory in the south made them refreshed and exhilarated.

The Croats were defeated. This not only completely stabilized the situation in southern Hungary, but also allowed the Croats and Serbs who had separated from Hungary not long after the outbreak of the revolution to know how powerful Hungary is!

This is like a booster that makes the Hungarians happy, and even a little forgetful. Especially those radicals who supported Kossuth before are even more ecstatic.

Some people are happy and others are worried, radicals are ecstatic, and conservatives and neutrals are naturally worried. Of course, it is not appropriate to describe them worriedly, they should be painful and happy.

They were also happy for Hungary's victory, but they were very depressed that it was the "drummer" Kosut who brought this long drought to the rain. This made them very annoyed.

Kosut’s reputation among the Hungarian revolutionaries is not good. People who like him love him to the death, but those who hate him hate him too. To use an inappropriate analogy, Kosut is a bit like Sun Guofu, the revolutionary forerunner of the Artillery Party. He fired artillery very well, but it was almost meaningless to do practical things.

In fact, this also has something to do with Kosut’s birth. Although he was born as a nobleman, his father was just a poor lawyer who was named a short nobleman, probably because of the influence of his father’s profession. When he debuted, he was really slippery and talkative.

The battle for Kosut’s fame was when he went to Viana as a representative of Hungary to negotiate with Austria after the outbreak of the revolution. In this negotiation, he gave full play to the power of the big gun and forced the Austrian side to agree to Hungary’s terms. .

After this campaign, because of friendship, Kossuth became the Minister of Finance in the Hungarian Responsible Cabinet approved by Austria and a representative of the radicals in the Hungarian Revolution.

Kossuth, who specializes in eloquence, may be particularly appealing, but his level of handling complex problems is really almost meaningless. In the face of a complicated situation, this man has always just made a cool word. He will do whatever makes Hungarians happy, which is completely a posture of a populist leader.

The problem is that populism is irrational, and the demands of the people are not all reasonable. Therefore, on the one hand, he cannot solve the livelihood problem, cannot abolish the serf system in Hungary, and cannot satisfy most farmers.

On the other hand, there is a one-size-fits-all approach to ethnic issues. Those who follow us will prosper against us and die. On the one hand, he represents the Hungarians to claim the right of national autonomy from Austria, but on the other hand, he simply ignores ethnic minorities such as Croatia and Serbia in Hungary. They did not agree to grant them the same autonomy, which directly caused the two groups of ethnic minorities to stand in opposition to Hungary.

Even more naive is the fact that he neglected Hungary's basic agriculture economically and wanted to engage in rapid industrialization. This was impossible for Hungary at that time, and it was natural in the end.

Of course, therefore, his relationship with the conservative Szechenyi broke directly, causing the internal division of the Hungarian revolutionaries and dispersing his own strength.

All in all, this man is a bit of a good eye and a low-handedness. This can be seen from his later political activities in Italy. When Austria and Hungary formed a dual empire, this product was ridiculously not optimistic about Hungary's future. As a result, after the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the conditions given by Austria to win over the Hungarians were really good, but the Hungarians lived very comfortably, which was a severe blow to him.

It can be seen that the level of this public is actually very average and does not have the ability to become a leader. What is very sad is that in Hungary in 1848, other revolutionaries and Kosut were also half-hearted, and everyone was at the level of fifty steps and a hundred steps. .

So after the victory of Kossuth in the south, the Republicans and conservatives were displeased, especially the famous Count Estevan Szechenyi, who really became more and more anxious!

Speaking of the Count Szechenyi, although he is a thorough Austrian, he has a deep connection with Hungary. For example, the famous Budapest, the combination of Buda and Pest can be said to have started with him.

Beginning in 1839, Count Szechenyi funded the construction of a bridge connecting Buda and Pest. This bridge was built after ten years and was finally completed in 1849, which also prompted the integration of Buda and Pest.

The only funny thing is that the bridge was built, but the people who funded the bridge were forced to exile. In addition, this famous bridge was not originally called the Szechenyi Chain Bridge, because the name did not exist until 1899.

At this time, Count Szechenyi was very anxious. Although Kosut’s victory temporarily pulled Hungary back, in his opinion, there was only a dead end to the Austrian Bulls. Therefore, his opinion at this time is to accept the situation when the situation is good. He should take advantage of the victory of the victory to negotiate with the Austrians again and resolve the crisis by peaceful means.

"Baugiani, this is an opportunity! It is an opportunity to get everything back on track!" Count Szechenyi eagerly said to Baugiani Lajosh: "We should negotiate with Austria to ensure national autonomy. Under the premise of peaceful end disputes!"

As a **** conservative, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com Baojani Lajosh naturally does not want to turn his face with Austria, but he is different from Szechenyi in that he has a clearer understanding of Kosut, and he knows too much about the radicalization led by Kosut. What kind of temper is the faction? In the past, this group of people was unwilling to negotiate and clamor for nothing. If they win and break the crisis, they are naturally even less willing to negotiate with Austria.

"My friend, Lajosh will not agree. Their group is devilish. They are a bunch of lunatics. They will not agree at all!" Bajani Lajosh sighed.

"Can't you reason with them?" Szechenyi begged.

Baugiani Lajosh suddenly smiled bitterly, and you argued with a lawyer who came up with the grass-roots scorn? At the beginning, the Austrians were so skeptical of life by that guy, wouldn't it be more useless if you went!

Szechenyi was desperate at once, but he refused to give up, because as a revolutionary loyal to the Habsburg family and the Austrian Empire as a whole, he hoped to give Hungary more autonomy while preserving the sovereignty of Austria. right.

To put it bluntly, Szechenyi wants to do social reform rather than social revolution!
