Make France Great Again

Chapter 702 Controlling St. Petersburg

Looking at the once aloof monarch, Nicholas I, who had now been killed by him as easily as he strangled a chicken, Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart. !

However, the death of Nicholas I also indicated that Duke Golitsyn and others had no choice but to win all the way and never look back.

After all, although regicide is not a rare event in the Russian Empire (the last monarch who was killed was more than fifty years ago), it is still a top priority.

In particular, Duke Golitsyn is also preparing to disobey the traditional succession system of the Russian Empire, appoint Alexander III's brother as the new emperor of the Russian Empire, reform the current system of the Russian Empire, and emancipate the serfs...

All kinds of unfavorable factors were added together, and the difficulties faced by Duke Golitsyn were much more difficult than simple regicide.

Therefore, regicide was not the end of Prince Golitsyn, but a new starting point.

When Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn killed Nicholas I, he also turned around and left Nicholas I's bedroom.

Prince Golitsyn, who was waiting in the corridor at this time, heard the sound of the room opening. He quickly turned around and asked, "How is it?"

Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn nodded slightly and said calmly: "Nikolai has returned to his arms!"

"That's good!" After Duke Golitsyn listened to Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn's words, he nodded and said calmly: "What we have to do now is to take advantage of the fact that the outside world does not know the news of the Tsar's death. Accept the power of the cities along the Petersburg to Moscow railway as much as possible, and use these cities as support points to further expand your power!

Only in this way can we withstand Crown Prince Alexander's upcoming attack! "

"Isn't Crown Prince Alexander still fighting fiercely with the British and French troops in Crimea? Will the British and French troops let them go so easily?" Andrew Nikolayev Golitsyn asked Duke Golitsyn in disbelief.

"If Crown Prince Alexander is willing to make friends with Britain and France at the cost of ceding Russian interests, then he may be able to reorganize the army in the shortest possible time!" Duke Golitsyn replied to Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn: "I've told you before, don't trust Britain and France too much! For them, a Russia in civil war is far better than a stable Russia!"

Duke Golitsyn paused and then said: "However, we don't need to worry too much!

I can conclude that Crown Prince Alexander will not withdraw from the Crimean Peninsula in the short term, because our current strength is far smaller than that of Crown Prince Alexander.

Therefore, if the British and French armies want to plunge Russia into a long civil war, they must weaken the Russian army reported in Crimea.

What we need is to use this gap as soon as possible to recruit as many troops as possible from various places...especially the Finnish and Kronstadt armies!

have you understood? "

"I understand!" Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn responded sonorously.

At this moment, the soldiers responsible for guarding the palace gate suddenly heard the news from Duke Golitsyn, and reported to Duke Golitsyn the news that soldiers were coming from Petersburg City.

After hearing these words, Prince Golitsyn immediately ordered him to call the soldiers in charge of reporting in front of them.

As soon as the two sides met, the soldier in charge of the report hurriedly said to Duke Golitsyn: "Your Excellency, Duke, we have occupied Petersburg Square, the Winter Palace and the Ministry of War in accordance with your instructions. Although we also encountered some obstacles on the way to occupy the Ministry of War, resistance, but those War Department soldiers are no match for us at all...

Now, except for the crown prince who is still in the Crimean Peninsula, we have arrested and imprisoned all the Romanov family!

Do you have any other instructions? "

"You did a good job!" Alexander II nodded with satisfaction, and then asked him to "take care" of the Romanov family and not give them any breathing space.

The soldier nodded quickly and asked about the status of Duke Nicholas I of Golitsyn.

"Nicholas is dead!" Prince Golitsyn said calmly.

"What?" The soldier quickly showed a surprised look.

"What's wrong?" Duke Golitsyn asked.

"I thought you would keep him for a while!" the soldier responded frankly to Prince Golitsyn.

"A mute monarch will be more helpful to our cause!" Duke Golitsyn said to the soldiers with a smile: "No one can guarantee how many people we have in the army who are loyal to Nicholas I! Killing Nicholas I will help unite us!"

"Yes!" the soldier nodded and replied to Prince Golitsyn.

After speaking, the soldier turned and left.

Before he could go far, Duke Golitsyn's voice came from behind him again, "Wait a minute!"

The soldier stopped and asked Duke Golitsyn with a puzzled look on his face: "Do you have any other orders?"

"Anyway, there is nothing important here, I'd better go there with you!" Duke Golitsyn, who was worried about the Romanov family, responded to the soldier.

Later, Duke Golitsyn ordered Andrei Nikolayev Golitsyn to stay in Tsarskoe Selo and continue to arrest the nobles in Tsarskoe Selo, and he and the soldiers responsible for delivering the news returned to the Petersburg area on horseback at night.

When Duke Golitsyn arrived at Petersburg Square, it was already surrounded by a group of Slavic soldiers wearing gray military uniforms. After seeing Duke Golitsyn on horseback, this group of Slavic soldiers quickly approached Duke Golitsyn. salute.

Prince Golitsyn also sat on his horse and returned their greetings, and then Prince Golitsyn came to the gate of the Winter Palace.

Duke Golitsyn, who dismounted and entered the Winter Palace, was led by the Winter Palace officers to a room where the Romanov family and Prince Dolgorukov who lived in the Winter Palace were imprisoned.

Duke Golitsyn, who saw Prince Dolgorukov in the room, had a surprised expression on his face. After a few seconds, Duke Golitsyn regained his original calmness and said politely to everyone present. : "Guys, you've been shocked!"

"Prince Golitsyn, what is going on!" Prince Dolgorukov asked Duke Golitsyn loudly: "Why did you send troops to occupy the Winter Palace? Do you want to rebel?"

"Your Excellency Dolgorukov, you misunderstood me!" Prince Golitsyn put on a hypocritical face and replied to Dolgorukov: "The reason why I did this was just to obey your majesty. It’s just an order!”

"Your Majesty's order?" Dolgorukov looked at Duke Golitsyn with a suspicious face and said: "How can you prove that you are following your Majesty's order! If not, then immediately, immediately Soldiers, leave the Winter Palace! This is the most sacred place in Russia, and it is not a place where you can run wild!"

"I really don't have any evidence to prove that it was His Majesty who issued this order, but I will not withdraw!" Duke Golitsyn shook his head and responded to Dolgorukov forcefully.

Prince Dolgorukov, seeing Duke Golitsyn's incompliance, once again made his request: "Where is your Majesty now? I want to see your Majesty!"

"Mr. Dolgorukov, His Majesty does not want to meet with you!" Prince Golitsyn then responded.

"If you can't let His Majesty come, then don't restrict our movements!" Dolgorukov said loudly.

"Your Excellency Dolgorukov, I must be responsible for your safety!" Duke Golitsyn replied to Dolgorukov seriously.

"You..." Dolgorukov was speechless. At this time, he already felt something was wrong.

"Forget it!" As the (former) queen, Alexander Feodrovna also vaguely realized that something might have happened to Nicholas I.

However, she did not dare to break up with Prince Golitsyn now that they were under the roof!

"Thank you for your understanding of us!" Duke Golitsyn said to Queen Feodrovna, and then he turned his attention to Grand Duke Nikolayevich.

At this time, there was also a subtle smile on his lips. He obviously understood that Duke Golitsyn's appearance here meant that his father was dead!

And he is and will soon be the Tsar! (He still doesn’t know that Duke Golitsyn has quietly changed the candidate for the new tsar!)

Thinking of this, Nikolayevich couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

"Your Highness the Queen, Mr. Dolgorukov, I will leave first!" Duke Golitsyn bowed to the Queen and Dolgorukov again.

After Prince Golitsyn left, the Empress and Dolgorukov fell into deep thought, each avoiding the possibility that Nicholas I had passed away.

In this way, Duke Golitsyn took advantage of the asymmetry of information to completely control the army in Petersburg in just one night.

The few groups who wanted to resist were also disarmed by him!

Early the next morning.

Duke Golitsyn once again borrowed the emperor's order to issue a series of reform measures, which also included some orders that harmed the interests of the nobility. He named it the "Russian New Deal"

When this order was passed from Petersburg to nearby cities, the nobles who had been loyal to the "Russian New Deal" began to rebel.

However, the overly rebellious forces were too dispersed, so the rebellion of the nobles was quickly extinguished.

After several days of hard work, all the sporadic rebellions in the area near Petersburg were put out by Duke Golitsyn!

Menshikov, who served as the governor of the Principality of Finland, was attacked and killed by an unknown force on his way back to Petersburg!

Menshikov's unexpected death gave him the right to intervene as the Governor-General of Finland. With the cooperation of association members installed in Finland, Duke Golitsyn quickly took control of hundreds of thousands of troops in Finland!
