Artur was like a shooting star, his brilliance faded very quickly and even more suddenly. Not long after the fall of Pest, he led the remaining army to surrender to Paskovich.
Sometimes this person really feels like he is lacking something. If you talk about his ability, he is really good. Otherwise, he would not have become the chairman of the National Defense Committee. The fact that he once beat the Austrians until they were pissed is even more proof.
his military talent.
So Artur is not without ability, on the contrary, his ability is stronger than most nobles of this era. So how did he end up like this in the end, put in a cage by Paskovich as a gift to the newly crowned king?
What about Emperor Franz Karl I?
The reason may also be found in his character. He is indeed a fierce person who can burst into the universe and do great things, but at the same time, he is too realistic and does not strongly adhere to his ideals.
Every action and every move he takes is based on a philosophy - he will only do it if it is possible, otherwise he will not make any move at all.
The question then arises: Is it possible to make revolution or fight for the independence of the Hungarian nation in this era?
If you analyze it objectively and rationally, you will find that there are many obstacles, the difficulties are not ordinary, and it can almost be said that it is an impossible task.
However, Artur happened to participate in such an earth-shattering undertaking and became a key figure in it. This caused a big problem. Every time a critical moment came, his reason would tell him that something was wrong.
It couldn't be done, so he refused to do it.
In this way, when the difficulties become more and more severe, I am afraid there is only one way in front of Artur, and that is to surrender!
In other words, his character is not the kind of person who can change the world and create miracles. He is a mortal who is not persistent enough and easily gives up halfway. He is more suitable to be the second in command. If there is a person who can create miracles to lead him and lead him
If he moves forward step by step, his fate may be very different.
It's a pity that there are no such people in Hungary. Baujani and Széchenyi are too conservative, and Kossuth's abilities are not big enough and the scope is not wide enough. Under the leadership of such a group of people, Artur's fate was actually from the beginning.
Being condemned to death, the most he can do is this!
Vishniak sighed: "Paskovich got a big gift this time!"
Indeed, Artur was the big gift. To be honest, Paskovich's performance in suppressing the rebellion this time was really not very good. It took so long to prepare and it took almost a year. If it weren't for Rades
Count Key suddenly returned to Vienna with 50,000 troops to help in the battle. I am afraid that Artur and Kossuth have not collapsed so quickly.
Paskovich's performance can only be described as mediocre. If the Russian troops had not been strong enough and Duke Mikhail had not been able to contain and harass the Hungarians from the flanks, he would not have been able to cross the Hungarians' northern defense line.
But as the old saying goes, stupid people are blessed. The mediocre Paskovich picked up Artur's gift package for nothing, it was like pie in the sky, okay?
Vishniak wondered: "Why did Artur decide to surrender to Paskovich? When did that old Qiu Ba get in touch with Artur?"
In fact, many people have this question. Most people will think that Paskovich must have done something, such as negotiating terms with Artur, and then the latter took the initiative to surrender to the Russian army.
But Li Xiao knew that this was not true. He knew why Artur surrendered to Paskovich. The reason was simple: "Afraid of death!"
Li Xiao calmly answered Vishniak's question, but the latter obviously didn't understand and asked doubtfully: "Afraid of death? Why?"
Li Xiao sneered: "It's not a good thing that the Austrians did. They shot Baojani and many other high-level Hungarian officials!"
Vishniak and Boris looked at me and I looked at you, because their heads were still a little confused. The causal relationship seemed to be that Artur was afraid of being executed by Austria, so he took the initiative to ask Paskovi
Qi surrendered, but if he had no deal with Paskovich, why would the latter want to save his life? Our Russian army does not seem to have a reputation as a benevolent army, okay?
"Paskovich is a man who cares about face the most," Li Xiao explained calmly. "His performance in countering the rebellion this time was not to say a mess, but it was also lackluster. If he still wants the title of prince, he must have something to shine, and then Al
Tuer took the initiative to provide a shining point, and with his personality, it is very possible to save Altur's life!"
Looking at Vishniak, Li Xiao added: "As for Artur, he probably feels that as long as he doesn't fall into the hands of the Austrians, his chances of survival will be much greater. If he falls into the hands of the Austrians,
, I’m afraid I’ll be shot soon, just live one more day!”
Vishniak and Boris were suddenly stunned, because the possibility is really not small. For example, Baojani died unjustly. I should say it was a bit unjust. First of all, he was an earl, and the title of earl was still
Generally speaking, the punishment given by the Habsburg family is not as good as that of a doctor. Nobles, especially high-ranking nobility, still retain honorable privileges.
Generally speaking, people like Baojani would be fine if they were deprived of all titles and titles and exiled to the wilderness to survive, without being directly killed.
Especially considering that this man is very different from Kossuth. From the beginning to the end, he only fought for the right of Hungarian national self-determination, and did not seek complete independence from Austria. He also served as a communication and negotiation channel between Austria and Hungary.
Austria has executed people like this, which is really a bit excessive. Considering that after being captured, Baujani actively attempted suicide before being publicly executed, this is simply an indictment of Austria's cruelty.
If Baojani didn't know that he was going to die, why would he ask for death?
This simply put Austria and the Habsburg family on the pillar of shame for the nobility. Considering that on the same day, Austria also executed twelve other leaders of the Hungarian uprising, most of whom were not
Nobles are celebrities, this approach is too bloody!
So much so that even a weakling like Artur was frightened and would rather surrender to the Russians than bow to the Austrians. Tell me how bad this impact was.
"The Austrians seem to be preparing to kill as a warning to others!" Boris sighed.
Vishniak snorted contemptuously: "It's so stupid, the Austrians are totally losing more than they gain!"
