Chapter 1146: The Grand Duke of Tsarist Russia is assassinated

A week later, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich rushed to Warsaw, the capital of the province of Warsaw, to officially become the governor of Poland.

At this time, Poland has become a part of the territory of the Tsarist Empire, and the original Kingdom of Poland has also been divided into 5 provinces of the Tsarist Empire. However, due to the defeat of the Crimean war and the beginning of serfdom in local areas such as the Petersburg province within the Tsarist Russian Empire, from the previous year, several Polish provinces, such as Augustov, Lublin, Plutsk, Radom and Warsaw, began to conspire with some people to take advantage of the chaos to oppose the oppressive rule of Tsarist Russia.

Since the beginning of the previous year, patriotic demonstrations against the colonial rule of Tsarist Russia have taken place in Warsaw, and some Polish national radicals have organized the people to conspire and collude, and they have gradually become active. Not long ago, because the popular demonstrations were suppressed by the Russian military police, a large-scale riot broke out in the city of Warsaw, and hundreds of people in Warsaw were shot dead by the Russian military police.

At this time, in Poland centered on Warsaw, three Polish democrats named Badelevski, Dombrowski, and Bobrowski organized the "Red Party" and established the so-called National Committee to lead the Polish popular uprising, and rose up against the rule of Tsarist Russia. But it didn't take long for Badelevsky and Dombrovsky to be arrested and imprisoned by the Russian authorities. Of the three vskis, only the last and youngest Bobrovsky remained, who was irascible and simple-minded, and was a do-it-man who did what he said, so he directly organized men and horses to prepare to storm the Warsaw prison and rescue the other two vskis.

At this moment, several Irish merchants, one of whom was the original financier of Badelevski, approached Bobrowski and told him important news: the second man of Tsarist Russia, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, was coming to Warsaw to take up the post of Governor-General of Poland, and Tsarist Russia was ready to strengthen its rule over Poland.

Moreover, once this person takes office in Poland, he will kill the "Red Party" and others, and the two Vski, who are imprisoned in the cell, will also be directly executed by him, and the situation is very critical.

But if you lead people directly to attack a heavily guarded prison like Bobrovsky, it is no different from sending them to death.

Although Bobrovsky was reckless, he didn't have many ideas, his ears were soft, and seeing that he was the one who financed the "Red Party", he hurriedly asked for advice on what to do, and these Irish businessmen came up with a solution: to assassinate Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich.

When Bobrowski heard that the Polish governor who assassinated him was the most powerful person in the entire Tsarist Russia except for the Tsar, and that he was also the incoming governor of Poland, he was very moved. When he heard that the Irish businessmen said that once the Grand Duke was stabbed to death, the whole of Poland would be in chaos, and even Russia would be in chaos, at this time, he stood up and led the "Red Party" and the Polish people, and quickly organized these people, and these Irish merchants had some guns and weapons secretly transported from Prussia to provide, so that they could capture Warsaw in one fell swoop, and then occupy the whole of Poland, and separate Poland from the clutches of Tsarist Russia. And at this time, at the time of the great chaos in Poland, it was easy to take the opportunity to get the two Wski out. Even if it can't be saved, it is to sacrifice for Poland, and Poland still has a great leader, Bobrovski, and it is a big deal to continue to avenge them.

With this, Bobrovsky was finally moved, and then, when Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich had just stepped into Polish soil, an assassination plot was formed against him.

On the morning of that day, Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, escorted by his assistant Major Likhachev and dozens of guardsmen, arrived in Warsaw from St. Petersburg on the newly completed Varshavsky Railway.

After leaving the railway station and taking a horse-drawn carriage instead, more than 200 military police officers from Warsaw immediately stepped forward to escort them. Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, in order to put on a pro-people posture, refused to be escorted by the Warsaw police station, still with the escort of dozens of guards he brought with him from St. Petersburg.

Soon after leaving the railway station, in a downhill section, a lot of slippery grease and beans suddenly appeared on the ground, and the carriages that stepped on the road were shaken and were about to roll, and the convoy quickly stopped, at this time, two carriages rushed out from each side on both sides, and rushed straight into the most spacious and luxurious carriage of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich in the middle, and exploded, and several carriages were blown apart all around, even the luxurious carriage of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, Even if it was protected by steel plates on all sides, it was cracked by the explosion, and Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich was hit by a huge wave of sound and power, and fell out of the carriage, already blurred with flesh and blood, and his appearance was difficult to distinguish.

Dozens of houses were shattered in the entire downhill block, and the houses closest to the explosion site were directly shaken and collapsed by the huge blast energy, and the surroundings were in shambles. Several carriages in front of and behind the Grand Duke's carriage were also blown away, and even some of the carriage wheels were blown up to the roofs of the block.

The entire convoy of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, with the exception of a few carriages at the rear, suffered because they were far away. Of the dozens of guards, there were less than twenty left, and they were still stupid. Even dozens of pedestrians watching the carriage convoy on the street were killed and injured by the explosion, causing heavy losses.

The power of the explosives in the two wagons was so great that all the evidence, including the murderers in the wagons, was wiped out. However, even if there was evidence at this time, the Warsaw Police Department would not have the heart to investigate. Because, just half an hour after the death of Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich, a violent and massive riot broke out throughout the city of Warsaw.

The riots began in the Warsaw barracks, which had not yet been sent away by compulsory conscription. These conscripted Polish youths, not only in Warsaw Province, but also in other Polish and even Lithuanian provinces suspected of being about to take part in the riots or that would inevitably riot in the future, were forcibly sent to the barracks for the winter, and then sent to serve in Transcaucasia and even Siberia. But these forced recruits, who had some intention of rebelling against the rule of Tsarist Russia, began to be dissatisfied even if they were not suspected, and they did not want to be sent to distant Siberia, and as soon as they were instigated, a rebellion broke out.
