With the sudden death of the Duke of Baniyat, and the nobility without a leader, Kossu suddenly launched a new draft conscription and a new plan of attack on the royal domain.

This time it will be commanded by Major General Janos Damoyannić, one of the three giants of the historical Hungarian military.

Janos Damoyanic came from a lowly aristocratic background, and even if he had made many military exploits, he could only sit at the bottom of the seat, so he was naturally closer to Kossuth, who could change his fate.

In his post-war memoirs, Janos Damoyanic mentioned that the war was just a ladder for his promotion, and it didn't really matter who was right and who was wrong, and whether it was just or not.

But Yanos Damoyanic was much luckier than his colleague Gergay Artur, who was called a hero by Kossuth, and a traitor.

Later, Janos Damoyanic not only escaped liquidation, but was pardoned by the Austrian Empire after two years in prison, and then became a field marshal, and the rest of his life can be described as honorable, rich, and rich, and lived to the age of 83.

The dude also became a Romanian hero for a time, as he plotted the massacre of the Saxons (an offshoot of the Germans) in Transylvania.

However, a hundred years later, the Romanians discovered that this hero had not only planned to massacre the local Saxons, but also the Wallachians and Moldavians who had kicked him out of the textbooks.

Later generations said that Janos Damojanic had a modernist spirit, but Franz, a modern man, did not think so.

But it was not a bad thing for Janos Damojanic to be the Hungarian commander in charge of attacking the royal domain, after all, it was not a big problem for such a person to betray the country as long as the interests were sufficient.

At this time, it was the turn of the spies arranged by Franz in Hungary to appear, Austria and Hungarian high society had close contacts, and the Hungarians could insert eyeliner in the Austrian government, and Franz could naturally install eyeliner in Hungary.

And Janos Damoyanic was indeed a "hero" who knew the times as in history, and he naturally knew that Hungary could not confront Austria.

Especially after receiving the news that Austria had won a series of battles on the battlefield with Britain and France, Janos Damojanic had a deeper consideration, maybe he could be a hero of the Austrians.

However, Franz did not like this kind of speculator, and would not fully trust him, so he could not relax his precautions for a moment.

Due to the change in history, Franz actually has one more card in his hand, and the original Lamberg Ferenc was not stabbed to death by Hungarian ultranationalists on the way to Hungary.

So the 69-year-old veteran was secretly sent by Franz to the Hungarian royal domain as the nominal supreme commander.

Historically, Lamberg Ferenc was sent to solve the Hungarian problem, and he knew enough about the situation in Hungary and had enough prestige to deter the nobles who had a bad butt.

However, the Hungarians chose to flip the table, the Imperial Marshal, the Commander-in-Chief of the Hungarian Military District, such a person could be killed on the road.

Although many history books say that this was a feat of righteous indignation by the Hungarian people, Franz felt that it was a naked conspiracy.

If there is no big enough force behind the scenes, a state official like Lamberg Ferencs can easily be accurately intercepted and tortured to death by a few people?

Not to mention the consequences of killing such a high-ranking official, ordinary people simply cannot afford it, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know his course of action, let alone defeat his guards and torture and kill him.

Although Lamberg Ferenc was a veteran of Baujani's superiors and had commanded the Hungarian army for many years, he was a veteran of the war against France, and he hated the word "revolution".

Franz used Lamberg Ferenc more symbolically, on the one hand, to give confidence to the population, and on the other hand, to deter the Hungarians.

As for whether Lamberg Ferenc can perform anything unexpected, Franz has no expectations.

In fact, Franz has been preparing for this day for many years, and every manor has been preparing for this day since the beginning of its construction.

Most of the veterans of the Austrian Empire, the depressed junior officers, and the veterans and wounded soldiers who had shed blood for the German Confederation (the Confederate soldiers' pension regulations after the Luxembourg crisis of 1842) were sent by Franz to the Hungarian imperial estates.

Together, there are nearly 100,000 people, not to mention that there are not many elderly people in the entire royal territory, and their real combat power is far beyond the imagination of the Hungarians.

The Hungarian assault on the royal domain was not a one-sided massacre from the outset, but a war in the truest sense of the word.

The situation was more chaotic in Transylvania, where Franz had planned an attack in 1839 that killed the leaders of several secret societies in a small village in Banat.

There were countless such secret societies in Transylvania, and not only were they suppressed by the government, but also attacked by Hungarian and German organizations, and even fought and killed each other.

This time was a little different, though, because in addition to the local Transylvanians, there were also people from Wallachia and Moldavia.

This meeting was the first recorded time in modern history that the concept of the Romanian state was proposed, and these organizations intended to merge Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania into a new state.

Franz naturally won't let them get their wish, and Franz's goal is to strangle them in the cradle.

Although assassinations and attacks were only a palliative solution, the most important thing for the Austrian Empire was time.

As long as there is enough time for Franz to see the move, it doesn't even have to be that Franz needs to do anything, after all, time itself is the best medicine.

As a result of a series of changes brought about by Franz, Transylvania was not as closely connected as it was historically with Wallachia and Moldavia.

As soon as the Hungarian government's Twelve-Point Programme was published, the Romanian leader in Transylvania, O. te Ularian, published his Sixteen-Point Programme, and the Romanian National Council was established.

The Sixteen-Point Program was more radical in content than the Hungarian Twelve-Point Program, so it did not need to be done by Austria at all, and Hungary could not tolerate it.

However, in order to win over and appease the Romanians in Transylvania, Franz announced the abolition of serfdom as soon as possible.

Historically, the Austrian government did the same, and to good effect, succeeded in turning the Transylvanians against Hungary.

In fact, there was another reason why the Austrian government did this, that is, the supreme administrator of the Austrian Empire in Transylvania chose to defect in the first place.

Fort Kolos (present-day Cluj-Napoca, Romania's second largest city) was in direct disarray as the core of Austrian rule in Transylvania.

In the end, it was the commander of the Transylvanian garrison, Puchner, who stepped in to quell the riots. This general Puchner played the role of anchor in Transylvania in 1848.

The Hungarian governor in Transylvania, Teleki Joseph, had opposed the Romanian rally from the outset, and he had been fighting hard to suppress it.

It was only when O. T. Ularian raised the banner of support for Hungary that Teleki Josef relented.

However, as mentioned earlier, the Romanians soon pointed the finger at the Hungarians, and Teleki Joseph forcibly dissolved the Romanian National Council.

The Austrians were far away, while the so-called Saxons lived more in cities or independent villages, and they usually did not come into direct conflict with the Romanians.

As a result, centuries of oppression and enslavement have made the contradictions between Romanians and Hungarians almost irreconcilable.

Unless the Hungarian government is able to redistribute the land, this is almost impossible to happen, because it is tantamount to making the Hungarian parliamentarians cut their own flesh.

In addition, Hungary's ethnic policy was too extreme, which directly detonated the sentiment of the Romanian ethnic group in Transylvania.

Relations quickly transitioned from honeymoon to hostility and vendettas, and it was during the battles with the Transylvanians that Gergay Artur and Heinrich Deme rose to prominence.

In order to satisfy the sentiment of the nationalists in the country, the Hungarian government passed the bill for the annexation of Transylvania to Hungary on May 29, 1848, bypassing the so-called Romanian representatives.

This time, however, the Austrian government did not become an accomplice to the Hungarians, because the March Decree, which was supposed to have been in history, was not passed at all.

This was the reason why Franz allowed Vienna to continue to be chaotic in the first place, because the incompetent government could not pass any decrees that had the force of law.

Large-scale riots are even more difficult for people to set foot in, especially some noble "traitors", after all, these people's lives are very valuable.

Without the presence of these noble "traitors", it would be impossible for anyone to bypass the government and directly get the emperor himself to sign the decree.

In short, there was no legal basis for the Hungarians' demand for integration at this time, so when General Anton von Puchner stood up against the Hungarians, he received more support.

Fort Kolos.

"Subjects of the Austrian Empire! Free people of Transylvania! People who don't want to put up with the oppression of the Magyars anymore!

The Hungarians betrayed our Motherland! They want to take away your land! Deprive you of your property! Send your children to fight against the great armies of the Empire!

This is simply self-defeating! The Imperial Government has declared the Hungarian Government illegitimate, and I will take over Transylvania in the name of His Majesty the Emperor.

To protect our land, our homeland, our rights, we will fight until the last moment! ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

In contrast to the enthusiasm of farmers near Fort Kolos, the response from the rest of Transylvania has been lukewarm.

In fact, Transylvania was in a very fragmented state, with almost every county belonging to a different faction, and there were even Russians and Ottomans behind it
