War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Chapter 1091 Greater Romania (Part 2)

Anna Ipadas was born into a wealthy merchant family in Wallachia. As the only child, she had been living a life of luxury since she was young, with twelve servants and three tutors.

Anna Ipadas was proficient in literature, mathematics, and natural history. She could ride a horse, shoot arrows, use a Wallachian sword, and use a musket.

However, all the good things stopped when she was fifteen years old. A noble young man who returned from Russia broke into her life, and the two soon fell in love.

Although her parents were reluctant to let Anna go, the union of the two young people was beneficial to both families. In addition to the girl's soft and hard work, Anna's parents finally decided to come to the door to propose marriage.

Originally, this should have been a happy story, but the day before the engagement, the noble young man suddenly found Anna and handed her an account book, and told her.

"If I can't come back, you must take it to Bucharest and give it to Grand Duke Bescu. The future of Wallachia depends on us!"

The next day, the bodies of Anna's fiancé and several of his friends were found in the river. They were naked and even their skins were peeled off.

And such a big case was suppressed, and even her fiancé's family gave up the investigation.

At this time, Anna finally remembered the account book. When she looked through the contents of the account book, there were only four words in her mind: "sensational".

The account book records too many crimes of this country, even to the point of being too numerous to be recorded.

Afterwards, Anna used her father's connections and her own wisdom to come to Bucharest, got rid of the officials and nobles who tried to stop her, and finally handed the account book to Grand Duke Bescu in person.

Grand Duke Bescu said at the time that he would punish the evildoers and return Wallachia to a peaceful and prosperous era, and hoped that the beautiful Anna would marry him to assist him in completing the great cause of Wallachia's revival.

If the story ends here, it is also an exciting story. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. The heroine goes through thousands of hardships and finally gives the evidence to the king. The king works hard to govern and lives happily with the heroine.

The reality is that Anna can't forget her fiancé and wants to be a widow for him. Anyway, she feels that she has no worries and can just let it go.

However, as soon as Anna returned home, a group of bandits rushed into her manor, and the manor guards were instantly defeated.

Anna's parents hid her in the basement where they stored their belongings. Soon someone broke into the house and killed her parents and servants. Blood kept dripping from the gaps in the stone slabs under the floor and fell into Anna's eyes. The blood and tears flowed out.

However, Anna's parents were not ordinary people. They got the mastermind behind the scenes from the killer before the death-Grand Duke of Bescu.

After that, the killers disguised as bandits looted the manor and set it on fire. Anna fainted in the basement.

When she woke up again, her home had become a white land. She groped and fled into the secret passage in the basement.

From that day on, the spoiled Anna Ipadas died, and only the Bucharest Eagle, who robbed the rich and helped the poor, lingered.

Some people said she was a lone ranger, while others said she was the biggest bandit leader in northern Wallachia, and the local church claimed she was the bride of the devil.

The time came to 1848, and Wallachia at that time could be described in the history books of the Qing Dynasty.

"The king was corrupt and the ministers were treacherous, the officials were corrupt and the officials were slippery, the officials and the people were in opposition, the situation was like old enemies, and natural disasters and man-made disasters were mutual abuse."

In the early days of the Wallachian Revolution, thanks to a large number of secret organizations such as the Brotherhood, the spark instantly ignited the entire country.

As a villain, Grand Duke Bescu did not give the revolutionaries a chance to grow and develop, and he ordered suppression at the first time.

However, the astonishing corruption made the firearms equipment rate of the Wallachian army lower than that of the Qing Green Camp, only a pitiful 30%.

In the same period, the theoretical firearms equipment rate of the Qing army was as high as 70%, but considering the actual situation, the average rate was still 50%.

In addition to the lack of weapons and equipment, the soldiers in the barracks were not fully staffed, which eventually led to the army rejecting the suppression order of Grand Duke Bescu.

The revolutionary army marched forward triumphantly, and Bescu had no choice but to flee Bucharest in a hurry.

Soon the Wallachian Provisional Government was established in Bucharest. Some people felt that everything was over, so they began to put their weapons into storage, let their horses go to the mountains, and even lived a secluded life of herding horses and sheep.

The "traitors" around Grand Duke Bescu in the past once again took power. 28 days after the establishment of the Wallachian Provisional Government, the Provisional Government announced the restoration of the monarchy and accepted the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

So the Wallachian Revolution broke out again, and Anna Ipadase, with two guns on her waist and a sword on her back, shouted on the streets of Bucharest.

"Traitors must die!"

The angry crowd took to the streets again and surrounded the palace, government and barracks, and the royal party fled in a hurry again.

However, the newly elected provisional government soon returned to its old ways. They did not dare to disobey the Ottomans, the Russians, or even their own landowners and capitalists.

Thirteen days after the New Wallachia Provisional Government came to power, they restored the feudal obligations of the serfs to the nobles and landowners, restored corvée labor, and even pre-rent taxes, and later promised to send troops to suppress the rebellious serfs to restore the national economy.

Even so, the new provisional government still could not satisfy the Russians and the Ottomans. Finally, in July, Suleiman Pasha of the Ottoman Empire led 13,000 soldiers across the Danube and created the sensational Bucharest Massacre.

The nationalists in Wallachia could only flee to the mountains or go far away. They sympathized with the Transylvanians, but they could do nothing to help them. After all, the Wallachians themselves could not protect themselves.

The most important thing was that compared to fighting Austria and Hungary, the feudal forces and the Ottomans in their own country seemed to be easier to deal with.

In fact, whether it was the Moldavians, the Wallachians, or the Transylvanians, they all hoped that they could become the core of Greater Romania, but there could only be one core.

War was cruel, and the Greater Romanianists in Transylvania could only face two powerful enemies alone without foreign aid.

However, this was not the worst. The Transylvanian Parliament and the elites of Greater Romania actually accepted the Hungarian merger bill.

Those leaders of Greater Romania became the elites of Hungary in the blink of an eye. This kind of backstab from one's own people is often the most cruel.

The remaining Greater Romanianists in Transylvania did not have many choices. They could either leave their homeland like their compatriots in Moldavia and Wallachia, or die for their beliefs, or give up their fantasies and choose sides.

They did not continue the prerequisites like Moldavia and Wallachia. Austria and Hungary never stopped their crackdown on secret societies in Transylvania.

Franz even targeted and eliminated several batches of determined Greater Romanianist leaders.

Anna Ipadace, who had escaped death several times and watched her comrades disappear, decided to try her luck in Vienna. If possible, she also wanted to send the Russian Tsar and the Ottoman Sultan to hell.
