Chapter 134 Worry

...On March 12, the news of the Petrograd riots spread all over Moscow, and Moscow's factories began to speak out in support of the Petrograd strike. Then strikes and demonstrations spread throughout Moscow. Under the call of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, Bolsheviks, etc., the workers marched in the squares of the city center and the municipal council with red flags. They even disarmed some of the soldiers in the city and went to the barracks to connect with the soldiers. The Moscow municipal axe tried to control the situation and declare martial law, but nothing helped. Secondly, the team clashed with the police by the bridge of the Yauza River. The deputy director of the police station ordered the workers to return to their place, otherwise they would shoot.

...Young worker Ivan? Astakhov shouted, "Get out of here!" The angry deputy director shot Astahoff with a gun. This act aroused the anger of the workers, and two workers came forward to catch the deputy director and threw him into the Yauzha River. Some of the police fled around, and the rest were disarmed. Another worker died in the conflict. Workers and college students launched propaganda to the soldiers, calling on them to support the revolution, and more and more soldiers turned to the side of the revolution. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers gathered in the building of the municipal office to announce their turn to the revolution. An organized and disciplined force occupied the radio station, the municipal office and other places and opened the prison. A police officer who was obviously standing on the side of the revolutionaries saw this scene and asked loudly whether the revolutionaries would also release the Jews, and that Some prisoners who had just been released from the hard labor prison threw themselves into the torrent of riots before they could change their prison clothes.

Sitting behind the desk and listening to Zhang Jing's report, Chen Moran took out a cigarette lighter from the cigarette box, and then continued to listen to the report.

"On this day, Mrozovsky, the commander of the Moscow Military Region, was arrested that night, as well as General Shebeko, the mayor of Moscow. There was no major armed conflict in the revolution in Moscow.

The mass revolutionary movement in other cities and villages was a little later, and the first to affect the cities in the provinces of the central industrial zone. In Tver, the workers went to the barracks, and the soldiers immediately united with the workers. They sang the Marseilles and traveled all over the city. The police were disarmed and local officials were arrested. In Samara and Saratov, the people held an open-air conference and established a workers' representative Soviet. More ironically, after learning the news of the revolution, the police chief of Kharkov stood in the carriage at the front of the parade and led the passionate crowd to shout, "Long live the revolution, long live!" The slogan, now..."

It's so fucking weird!

It was extremely rare. Chen Moran scolded in his heart. In the past, when he thought about it, whether it was the February Revolution or the revolution eight months later, it was extremely fierce, but now it seems that it is not the same. Why is the Russian political axe so stupid? You should have realized all this a long time ago, and then immediately mobilize a reliable army to eliminate the riots invisibly when the riots expand!

While this idea came to his mind, another thing came to Chen Moran's mind. In the past, every time he faced a popular incident, he was hesitant, but now, if this kind of event breaks out again... Thinking of Russia at this time, Chen silently sat there for a moment. I fell into meditation, and the smoke had burned out but I didn't notice it.

"...Your Majesty, as you expected, now, a revolution has broken out in Russia aimed at overthrowing and will surely succeed..."

At the time of reporting, Zhang Jing noticed that His Majesty seemed to be a little distracted and contacted some events in China. He seemed to understand why His Majesty was distracted. His Majesty was too worried. China is different from Russia. Compared with Russia, China has not only an army loyal to His Majesty, but also in the army. There are many orphans from the royal nursing home. They will never betray your majesty and the royal family.

"Why is this revolution doomed to success?"

Looking up, Chen Moran hopes to get some answers from Zhang Jing. The answer about Russia may give him some inspiration.

"Your Majesty, losing the support of soldiers is not the most terrible thing. In fact, now the Tsar has not lost the support of all soldiers. Some soldiers and officers are still loyal to them. If they deal with it well, then the army can easily appease them even if there is a riot, but..."

Taking a look at His Majesty, Zhang Jing said in the calmest words possible.

"Unfortunately, the betrayal of the upper elite led to the connivance of the riot at the beginning of the explosion, and it was this connivance that caused the riot to expand throughout Russia. In this case, its regime could not be maintained at all!"

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be a little puzzled, Zhang Jing immediately took out a few telegrams, because the intelligence agency had been working in Russia for a long time, so it had a large number of channels to obtain all kinds of secrets at the first time.

"After the riots in Russia, especially after the turmoil in the capital, Chairman Luo of the State-Ma can use a telegram to persuade the Tsar to make concessions, suggesting that he revoke the decision to dissolve the State-Ma and set up a caretaker cabinet. In the telegram, General Ke said: "The situation is getting worse and worse, and measures must be taken immediately, because it will be too late tomorrow. This is the last moment to determine the fate of our motherland and the court."

After showing this information, he showed another telegram.

"Did Nicholas II also received his brother Mikhail at the same time? Advice from Alexandrovich and Prime Minister Golytsen and others: The only way to save the fate of the dynasty is to make concessions to public opinion, dismiss all cabinet members, and order Duke Lviv or Lozenko to organize a new cabinet responsible for the Duma. None of the current cabinet members can remain in office. At the same time, his superiors used various relationships to lobby the queen, and in the end, the brazen queen was depressed. Concession is indispensable," she telegraphed to Nikolay, "*Continue, many armies have turned to revolutionary forces." Of course, for her living in the palace, this is known through some special channels that she can trust, but in fact, those channels have been known since she sent a letter to Ras Putin. After it is no longer reliable, the royal family's long-term favor of Rasputin, especially after the Rasputin case, its punishment of the participating nobles has led to the dissatisfaction of the royal family. The upper elites try to gain more power through the current chaos, and some patriots also try to use this chaos to change Russia. It is certain that it is the temporary alliance formed by all kinds of people for various purposes that will inevitably lead to the success of this revolution..."

When Zhang Jing mentioned those ambitious people, the names of the group of ambitious people in Nanjing came to his mind. Perhaps... If possible, he would prefer those ambitious people to be truly suppressed and completely solve these domestic instability factors, but your Majesty I've always indulged them too much.

"Your Majesty, it was the connivance of Nicholas II that led to the current revolution. If twelve years ago, Nicholas had executed all the leaders of the riots for treason and suppressed all the participants, the revolution would not have broken out at all! Re exile does not solve the problem! It just delayed the outbreak of the revolution! For those revolutionaries who have lost everything, once they get a chance, they will make waves again, so..."

Zhang Jing's warning was heard in Chen Moran's ears, but it made him frown in agreement. Sometimes, as a superior, he may not be able to make decisions quickly, especially those that are contrary to personal values. After all, in Chen Moran's own opinion, he has never been a butcher, and more Not a tyrant.

There is no light to cook, and there is no courage to read!

Thinking of these eight words, Chen Moran couldn't help smiling bitterly. Although he had already made a decision in his heart, there were always such scruples when he really implemented them.

"Well, now is not the time to consider these problems. Now we need to devote all our attention to Russia. We have to wait for the situation to change. As soon as the situation develops smoothly, we will play Mikhail? Do you understand Alexanderovich's card?

"Yes, Your Majesty, as you wish!"

Zhang Jing, who put away the documents and knew that he should quit, took a last look at His Majesty, and then said again.

"Your Majesty, sometimes we have to make some choices against our original intention. Although those choices are difficult, but..."

The words paused a little, and Zhang Jing's face showed some bitterness.

"Your Majesty, you once said that you can make all kinds of sacrifices for China's dream of the millennium empire, and sometimes, some necessary sacrifices are unavoidable..."

In fact, what Zhang Jing is more willing to say at this time is that there is too little blood from the Qing Empire and the Chinese Empire, which may be the luck of China, but in fact, on the other hand, it has added too many unstable factors to this new empire. Over the years, the new dynasty can only use the "comparison method" to prove to the world. Compared with the former Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Empire is undoubtedly more in line with the needs of the people. However, people's hearts are not enough, and people's desires are difficult to satisfy. Just blind "comparison" can't satisfy everyone's desires, just like before the prosperity of the war, the agitated workers asked for an increase in wages and an eight-hour working system. Merchants demand the full implementation of trade freedom, the state should shrink its control over industry and commerce, politicians demand broader power, and even those founding nobles, either on the side of those people, either explicitly or implicitly because of their own interests.

If we can't completely eradicate all the unfavors with a thunderbolt, then sooner or later, everything that happens in Russia today will be staged in China, and I'm afraid it will be too late to regret at that time. At least the small actions of Zha Zhiqing, in Zhang Jing's opinion, can't change a fact at all - the dissatisfied people will only be more The more you come!

At this time, the phone on the table rang, and Chen Moran picked up the receiver, "Hello?"

It was a phone call from the General Staff. Listening to the sound from the phone, Chen Moran glanced at his watch. It was 10:50.

After listening to the report on the other end of the phone, Chen Moran hung up the phone, then sat quietly for a moment, and then sighed.

"What the hell happened?"

Zhang Jing, who was a little puzzled, did not ask, but he knew that the phone was a special line to the staff. Is there anything wrong with the army?

"A few minutes ago, the General Staff received a report from the headquarters of the Expeditionary Force. It seems that Nicholas II's uncompromising determination has loosened. He seems to know the serious surname of the situation. According to the information he received, the people of the capital are now about to go to the imperial village. Nicholas II is worried about the safety of his family, so he decided to return immediately. The capital."

Finally, history is still history. When Nicholas II made the decision to return to the capital from the base camp, Russia's fate was inevitably irreparable. Although this was what Chen Moran expected, at this time, deep down at this time, he was extremely sympathetic to the later and his family who were identified as "revolutionary" The last tsar of Russia.

In history, countless historians believe that Nicholas II's departure from the base camp was his biggest mistake. He, who was originally in the base camp, could be transferred to as many as dozens of divisions that were still loyal to him. With these armies, he had a bargaining chip to stabilize the situation, but in the end, this chip was due to his mistake. The decision was abandoned.

On his way back to the capital, the railway was cut off by workers, the telegraph line was cut off, and the Tsar lost contact with the army and the capital. In the end, he had no choice but to abdicate. From then on, Russia left the straight track of history and began to fall into turmoil. After the emperor abdication, he lost his loyalty. The army of elephants did not know what they should be loyal to at all, and the Bolsheviks took the opportunity to make waves. In the end, an unprecedented regime appeared in history... "The overall situation has been decided..."

With a long sigh, Chen Moran stood up and walked to the window to look out of the capital. After this war, the [[***] empire in the foreign population was only China, the German Empire, the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire... The three empires were destroyed one after another, only China... However, thinking about it. Chen Moran turned his eyes to the distance and in another direction. Although he could not see the Congress here at all, in Chen Moran's consciousness, he seemed to see the Congress. Where he had been staring at power, it was he who built the Congress of the Chinese Empire. So in the future, will they Like everyone else, what about trying to bury this empire?

Fear, but the sudden surge in his heart made Chen Moran fall into an unprecedented fear, which was the fear of the revolution. It was not until then that he suddenly found that he could not face everything calmly as he had imagined in the past, at least he could not face the destruction of the dream millennium empire by some people!
