Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Ottoman Sudan Gid reconfirmed to his Grand Vizier that Britain and France would send troops to Austria at the same time.

"The British have made a statement that they will suspend the peace agreement with the Austrians for the sake of peace in Europe and in the world.

The invincible fleet of the British Empire was to return to the Mediterranean and join forces with the French to besiege Austria.

The British Government has expressed its willingness to support our efforts to regain Belgrade and Western Bosnia, among others, and is more than happy to see us complete the unfinished mission of our ancestors. ”

The prices offered by the British were very high, not only in Belgrade and Western Bosnia, but even all the way to Vienna, as long as the Ottomans could eat it.

But McJid wasn't an idiot either, and he knew very well that he and his own Ottoman Empire couldn't eat it.

So he united the Serbian Obrenović family and the Hungarians, and each of the three took what it wanted.

The Ottomans regained Belgrade, Serbia regained Western Bosnia, and the Hungarians received the rest of St. Stephen's Crown Domain.

The Obrenović family was very willing to cooperate, and even provided a copy of the Belgrade military defense map they had collected.

The Obrenovic family had been operating in Belgrade for many years, and Belgrade itself was home to a traditional Serbian settlement, so this information is quite credible.

It's just that the Hungarians are much more indifferent in their behavior, and the Hungarian government does not give a clear answer to Mejid.

It was not that Kossuth felt that the Ottoman Empire was dispensable, but that Hungary was in dire need of allies at this time.

It is okay to deceive the foolish people in China with the victory of Pressburg, and no politician or soldier will believe the nonsense that "80,000 enemies have been annihilated, and the enemy's walls have not yet been breached".

Baugjani now has nearly half of Hungary's forces in his hands, but he can't even beat a tiny Pressburg.

Kossuth wanted to change generals, but at this time, Baugjani was the hero of Hungary, and this hero was pushed to the altar by himself.

If you can't change generals, you can only continue to increase troops or increase allies, and first of all, it is not reliable to increase troops.

The first is that there are no troops to be increased, and there are quite a few troops on paper in Hungary, but due to the long-term existence of a large number of empty salaries, there are no soldiers to send in real times of war.

As for these recruits, they have very limited combat effectiveness until they have completed the most basic training.

The attack on Pressburg with tens of thousands of casualties is the best proof of this, usually speaking, a force with a loss of more than 20%~30% may collapse.

The casualties of the new troops sent before were as high as 40%, which was not because they were brave, but because they had broken through the critical value before they could react.

Destroy 80,000 enemies? If you can annihilate the enemy, 10,000 Kosut will burn high incense.

However, the reality was that the defenders of Pressburg suffered less than 200 casualties. The time, place, and people were all on the side of Austria, and it was difficult to win if they didn't want to defend the city.

Kossuth knew very well that it was better not to fight than to continue to send recruits to their deaths.

Secondly, they cannot afford to send troops.

Hungary's fiscal situation is very poor, especially after the formation of the new Hungarian government, which has seen its fiscal revenues fall to an all-time low.

Theoretically, according to the twelve-point program put forward by the Hungarians, the fiscal revenue should be increased at this time.

After all, the Hungarian parliament at this time had full control of the taxing power, and could set the tax according to its own situation, regulate the tax rate, and anyone had to pay taxes, including the estates and royal domains of the Austrian nobility.

However, the reality was that after the Hungarian parliament broke away from the Austrian system, the regions that were part of St. Stephen's Crown began to refuse to pay taxes to the Hungarian government.

As for the Austrian nobility and royal domains, it was even more impossible to pay taxes to the rebels, let alone the original toll taxes and customs duties.

The two articles of the requirement that everyone must pay taxes and the adjustment of the tax rate can not be said to be completely in conflict, but can only be said to have been played by the Hungarians.

Didn't say how much to pay taxes? Everyone can pay taxes separately according to their own situation, which gives everyone a lot of room to operate.

Big businessmen, big factory owners, that's the future of the country, how can more taxes develop? So let's take a symbolic 1%.

Banker? That's the best people in Hungary, it's the foundation of the economy! It is the confidence of the country! It must be vigorously supported!

Great nobles? We can't destroy unity, the army is still in the hands of others, and besides, who of the parliamentarians here doesn't have a supporter behind them?

Townspeople? The general public is a staunch supporter of the new Kingdom of Hungary and a valued supporter of Mr. Kossuth.

Single-clothed aristocrats? They are so poor that they only have one piece of clothing left, what do they pay taxes?

So all the burden was on the serfs again, but Pedolfi was well aware of the current situation in Hungary, and he also sympathized with the peasants, so he drew up a plan for land reform early on.

What Pedolfi meant, Kossuth also understood, to win more people together against Austria, so as to improve Hungary's chances of victory.

Therefore, Kossuth once carried out the reform of serfdom under great pressure, but it was not enough to emancipate the serfs, not only the small landlords were dissatisfied, but even the serfs rebelled because they lost their source of livelihood.

At this time, Hungary's industry was too backward to feed the millions of serfs. The serfs were emancipated and displaced, and they became the most unstable factor in Hungary.

In just a few months, the revolt of the emancipated serfs was greater than the rebellion of other alien peoples in the Crown of St. Stephen combined.

In order to appease the serfs, only land reform could be introduced. Now the serfs were satisfied, but the landlords and nobles were dissatisfied.

Especially the agrarian capitalists who pursued efficiency and profit, felt that cutting the land into small pieces and distributing them to the serfs was tyrannical.

Therefore, in order to appease the landed aristocracy and capitalists, the Hungarian government had no choice but to adopt a policy of redemption.

And then these burdens were again imposed on the serfs.

However, this did not appease the anger of the aristocracy and capitalists, and the new Hungarian government had no choice but to take on some of the debts.

In the face of some powerful aristocrats and capitalists, it is even necessary to pay the ransom money in advance.

When the government had no money, it had to go to the bankers to borrow high-interest loans, and even then not many bankers were willing to lend money to the new Hungarian government.

In addition, operations such as turning the country into a home are not uncommon, and it is strange that the financial income of the new Kingdom of Hungary can be high.

At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Hungary was completely on loan to pay military salaries, and if it continued to increase its troops to fight such a large-scale war, then the salaries of government officials would be in question.

So Kossuth was in dire need of allies, especially after the Italians and Czechs were out, and he felt a lot of pressure.

Kossuth is convinced that Hungary will be next, so he must now unite as much as possible with all the forces that can be united.
