The Crimean peninsula in the spring was filled with fighting for more than 20 consecutive days.

After the Anglo-French-Turkish-Sasar coalition captured the fortress of Sevaspor, with the insistence of the British army, nearly 100,000 allied troops were in the vanguard of Aymable. Let. Jacques. Pelissye, under the command of the commander, went north to attack Simferopol, an important town in the central Crimea.

Simferopol was the capital of the later Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the central city of the entire Crimean peninsula. Russia has once again organized forces to deploy here.

Since more than half a month ago, the skirmish has begun. During the march, the Anglo-French forces encountered the Russian troops who were intercepted halfway. Dmitrievich. Gorchakov launched more than 120,000 Russian troops and launched an attack on the coalition forces on a front of tens of miles.

Fierce encounters took place more than fifty miles southeast of Simferopol. Artillery was flying, muskets were fired, and countless people died in the wilderness.

Nearly 100,000 coalition troops, dispatched more than 800 artillery pieces, aimed at the front blocked by the Russian army, fired artillery for more than half a month, firing more than 250,000 shells, in response, the Russian army organized more than 1,000 artillery pieces to fire 160,000 shells. Half a month after the shelling, the results of the casualties came out, and everyone was stunned: the result of the war was completely mutual attrition. The French lost more than 8,000 killed and 20,000 wounded; The British lost 5,000 killed and wounded more than 12,000; The Russian army lost 28,000 dead and wounded, more than 30,000. After this fierce field battle, both sides were in a desperate situation.

It was that the Austrian Empire sent Count Esterhazy to St. Petersburg to ask Russia to accept an armistice. Tsar Alexander II refused to accept the mediation of the Austrian armistice.

Just when Count Esterhaz was still trying to force Alexander II to submit, a violent news came:

Large-scale workers' riots broke out in Britain. More than 200,000 textile workers and dock workers marched in London, looting guns and confronting the military, police and gendarmes, and the whole of London was nearly paralyzed. In other cities in the United Kingdom, workers from various industries in Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and other cities also held huge demonstrations, and more than 500,000 workers stormed the town hall and police stations to confront the gendarmes who heard the news.

When the Tsar heard the news, he laughed: I didn't expect that the distant Orientals would have such insight, and according to his approach, they would be able to turn defeat into victory! This is the turning point for Russia!

He hurriedly organized spies to go outside the armistice city of Simferopol and the fortress of Sevaspotor to spread the news of the riots in Britain itself, which made the British soldiers on the Crimean peninsula panic. At the same time, the order was given to the entire army to resume the war and launch a new offensive.

Suddenly, 70,000 Russian troops laid a semicircular front and launched a fierce attack on the British army on the Crimean Peninsula, but at the same time issued a truce request to the French army.

At this time, the French Emperor Napoleon III also learned of the changes in Britain, and hesitated for a while in the face of the goodwill from the Russian army.

The Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, Sir Simpson, was shocked, he did not expect that at this critical time, there would be a workers' riot. He carefully read the telegram from which the news came, and only then did he confirm that the whole message was true.

The telegram said that the original left-wing Chartist workers' leader, Ernest ? Charles? Jones and George ̇Julian ̇Hani, together with representatives of the European democrats in exile in Britain, somehow founded the "International Committee" and founded the "People's Daily", and published an article in the newspaper "People's Daily", saying that Britain was invading the Crimea, calling for the overthrow of the rule of the main forces of the empire and the bourgeoisie, the seizure of power by the proletarian working class, and the realization of the social emancipation of the working people as the main goal of the International Committee, and calling for the unity of the workers of all Britain.

The telegram was sent very urgently, asking Sir Simpson to stop the Crimean War as soon as possible, withdraw his troops back home, and defend his homeland.

Sir Simpson was dumbfounded.

He immediately consulted with the French commander Pellissier about withdrawing his troops, and at this moment, his men reported that the Russian army, which had been armistice for a period and was preparing to surrender, had organized a new offensive. In desperation, Sir Simpson had no choice but to pretend that he had not received the telegram from London, and tried his best to persuade the French commander Pelisier to strike a full blow at the attacking Russian army.

And so, the war started again.

The Anglo-French forces deliberately pretended to receive a telegram and retreated in a panic, when in fact a main force was quietly lying in ambush halfway through. The Russian army received a message from the Tsar that there was a riot on the British mainland, and thought that the British had no intention of fighting again and pursued with all their might. As a result, the Anglo-French forces seized the opportunity, concentrated superior forces, took advantage of the terrain, and fought an ambush battle. In this battle, the British and French forces annihilated more than 30,000 Russian troops at the cost of losing more than 10,000 troops.

The Russian army was completely defeated. The Anglo-French forces took the opportunity to attack and occupy Simferopol in one fell swoop.

The tsar did not expect that the Russian army would suffer a crushing defeat when victory was expected, and he could no longer withstand it, and finally promised Count Esterhazia, who was still maneuvering, that the two sides would cease fighting. The British side made concessions and no longer made any demands. France requested that the Paris Peace Conference be convened in its capacity as arbiter of continental European affairs.

Curiously, after the news of the truce between the two sides broke, the workers' riots in London and other cities in England subsided. The demonstrators were relieved to enter the factories and continue their work after receiving a slight wage increase. Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Palmerston are very angry with the Tsar, obviously, this is Russia's ghost.

Twenty days later, the Paris Peace Conference was convened.

Britain, France, Turkey, Sardinia, and Russia participated, and Austria also participated in the peace conference because of the "Vienna Four-Point" proposal. The tsar wanted Prussia to also participate in the Paris Peace Conference in order to gain its support, but Britain objected on the grounds that Prussia did not enter the war, on the grounds that it was.

At the peace meeting, the parties quarreled non-stop. After the workers' riots in Britain subsided at home, they became more intransigent and demanded that Russia return all the Turkish territories it had occupied, neutralize the Black Sea, and prohibit Russia from stationing heavy troops or building arsenals along the Black Sea coast.

And Russia was also active, secretly selling favors to Polen III and supporting France as the arbiter of European affairs. Napoleon III himself did not want Russia to be overly weakened and England to dominate the Near East, and France, wanting to make Russia even more resentful of Austria and grateful to her, agreed to favor Russia.

Austria attempted to occupy Wallachia and Moldavia, which had already been occupied, but was strongly opposed by France and Russia.

In the end, Russia, with the support of France, and after fierce bargaining, the Treaty of Paris was signed.

The Great Powers jointly guaranteed the "independence and integrity" of Ottoman Turkey; Turkey pledged to improve the situation of its people regardless of race or creed; Russia recovered the occupied territories of the Crimean Peninsula, ceded the mouth of the Danube and southern Bessarabia to Moldavia, returned Kars in the Caucasus to Turkey, and renounced the Orthodox Church in Turkey; The suzerainty of Serbia, Wallachia and Moldavia remained with Turkey, jointly guaranteed by the Great Powers; The Black Sea is a forbidden zone, prohibiting warships of various countries from passing through the straits, and prohibiting Russia from establishing or maintaining arsenals along the Black Sea coast; freedom of navigation on the Danube; It is forbidden to incite workers to riot.

The last point was added at the request of the British, who always believed that the recent workers' riots in Britain were the result of the plotting and incitement of the spies sent by the Tsar, and they did not know how much the Tsar had paid to buy off the remnants of the Chartist movement, so that he would cooperate so much and take the opportunity to break out demonstrations and demonstrations, so as to unease the British mainland and attract troops to bomb and suppress.

The Crimean War, which lasted for three years, finally came to an end. However, there were almost no winners in the entire participating countries, and the only winner was precisely the distant Chinese Empire, which no one could have imagined. [.]
