The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 1090 Greater Romania (Part )
Pressburg Front.

Heinrich Deme did not know which commander he was transferred to, but he was originally in the east to deal with the Transylvanians.

However, due to his excellent record, he attracted the attention of Budapest, so he was transferred to Pressburg, which had been unable to open up the situation.

In fact, Heinrich Deme felt that he had done nothing. He only burned 34 villages and killed more than 61 "enemies" in days, and that was all.

However, compared with the historical results of burning 108 villages and massacring nearly people, his results are indeed inferior.

But it is indeed much better than the record of Gergey Artur, another member of the Big Three. Gergey Artur unfortunately ran into Anton von Puchner's main force. .

Although the latter was not an outstanding tactician, he had many soldiers, good equipment, and the support of the local people in Transylvania. A third-rate general was able to compete with Hungary's final victory in 1848. The stronger ones were fighting evenly, and even had a slight upper hand.

Of course, this is also due to the defensive strategy that Puchner has always adopted, so that Gergei can't find a breakthrough, because as long as the former does not leave his territory, then all local Transylvanians are his eyes .

No matter how sophisticated Gergei's tactics are, he still needs the cooperation of his opponents. Historically, his best tactic was to lure the enemy deep, cut off the enemy's supplies, and then divide and annihilate them.

But at this time, due to Franz's order, Puchner only acted on his own territory and did not give Gergei this opportunity at all.

According to Franz's idea, when the comprehensive strength of both sides is close, as long as you don't want to win, it is not easy to lose.

Gergei could not take over the areas where Puchner was stationed, so he could only turn to those areas that were neither willing to follow Hungary nor the Austrian Empire.

Some people can only see the situation clearly after being severely beaten by reality. They either choose to join Hungary or choose to seek help from Puchna.

Some Transylvanian Romanians hoped that the surrounding Moldavia and Wallachians would come to support them in their fight against the Hungarian and Austrian empires.

After all, in the eyes of the Transylvanian Romanians, Transylvania is the main body, and Moldavia and Wallachia can be discarded.

Especially the Moldavia. These people can't defeat the domestic warlord Sturza. It's better to come to Transylvania to build a greater Romania.

As for Wallachia, there is no need to persist. Anyway, they have betrayed them by electing a provisional government. Instead of continuing this farce, they should work together to build a beautiful Romania.

However, these words seemed like complete nonsense to the Wallachians and Moldavia.

The most important thing is that the 3,000 mercenaries of Archduke Stuerza and the 13,000 Ottoman troops invited by Neofit are indeed powerful, but compared with the 300,000 troops of Hungary and the millions of troops of the Austrian Empire, they are really powerful. Just not worth mentioning.

In addition, the Hungarians committed massacres at every turn, and the Austrians were exiled to Africa if they disagreed. It seems that the local warlords are more civilized.

As a result, the three parties inevitably split.
The uprising in Moldavia started earliest, but was also the weakest. In March 1848, more than a thousand people, led by local liberals, launched a riot at the "Petersburg" Hotel.

However, the main method was to use armed petitions to get the Moldavia Archduke Sturza to promulgate some laws that were more beneficial to the bourgeoisie.

At first, the power of the liberals developed rapidly, and they even scared Stuerza and his lovers to escape from the palace and hide in the military camp.

However, just when the situation was good, the liberal faction was divided. Radicals Vasily Yaxandri and Costa Kelba advocated the complete overthrow of the feudal dynasty and the deposing of Grand Duke Sturza.

The conservative Archbishop Meglietti and the landed aristocrats opposed such a radical approach and hoped that gradual reforms could be carried out through a moderate approach. Several smaller factions splintered within the two factions. Vasily Yaxandry hoped to make the Principality of Moldavia completely independent and no longer bound by the Ottomans and Russia.

Costa Kelba hoped to establish a Greater Romanian Republic based on the Principality of Moldavia to rival Russia, the Ottomans, and Austria.

There are still a few people who feel that they can overthrow the rule of Grand Duke Stuerza, but they cannot offend the Russians and Ottomans who should continue to be grandsons.

However, the words of these people are obviously not acceptable in this era of national awakening.
Archbishop Meglietti and some land capitalists among the conservatives wanted to abolish slavery, but the traditional aristocrats believed that doing so would infringe on their rights and status and strongly opposed it.

Several factions attacked each other and even fought in the streets like gang wars.

Grand Duke Stuerza saw the opportunity and returned to the palace to hold a banquet in honor of the thousand mercenaries he hired.

Grand Duke Stuerza shouted while his ears were full of wine.

"O rebel! Why are you so hard-hearted!

Departing from the right path brings ruin to all living beings.
The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed all because of your hands!

Warriors, take up your weapons!

Give this world a bright future! "

The mercenaries who took advantage of the drunkenness rushed out of the palace and went straight to the liberal base camp. Corpses were everywhere overnight, and all the prisons were overcrowded. The liberal government fell and Archduke Sturza regained control of the government.

If the Principality of Moldavia had not disappeared in the long river of history, the poems and deeds of Grand Duke Stuurza would definitely be sung by people.

Afterwards, Archduke Stuurza began to liquidate the entire Principality of Moldavia, and Moldavia's nationalists could only begin their life in exile.

Generally speaking, Moldavia's nationalists are small in number and not strong. Even if they want to help the Transylvanians complete the great cause of Greater Romania, they are powerless.

The revolution in Wallachia was more like a rebellion forced by the government and the people. Wallachia first suffered a drought, then a snowstorm in the winter, and cholera broke out in the spring of 1848.

However, Archduke Besku of Wallachia and his cronies had no disaster relief plan. Instead, they drove up prices and made money.

(Grand Duke Sturza became the Grand Duke of Wallachia after the fall of Besku. The Ottoman Empire hoped to stabilize the situation and handed both places into the hands of Sturza.)
With such high-level people, you can imagine the ecology at the bottom.

According to records at the time, the price of building one meter of road in Moldavia was 60 lei, while in Wallachia it cost nearly 3000 lei.

This outrageous balance naturally flowed into the hands of contractors and officials. Collusion between government and businessmen, and even collusion between officials and bandits was nothing new in Wallachia at this time.

In fact, even if the matter is brought to the Grand Duke himself, nothing will happen, but local officials may have to pay a sum of money to eliminate the disaster.

In order not to pay this money, they will do anything.
