Chapter 815 on
The Rus Empire was only ruled by the Romanov Dynasty for more than 200 years, just like all the dynasties on the Huolian Qinzhang, to this day, the Russian Romanov Dynasty is a zombie, and there are maggots that absorb nutrients from this zombie, and they are classified according to their size and destructive power, these maggots are royalty, nobles, bureaucrats and gods, and this Rasputin belongs to the last kind.
Rasputin was not only a charlatan, but also a womanizer, and with the jealousy and flattery necessary for a courtier, such a man who spent many years in the Russian court could obviously not save any of the crises of the Romanov dynasty, but only aggravated them. Be it political, social, or economic.
Tsar Nicholas II of the Russian Empire may not be able to distinguish what kind of fate Rasputin brought to his empire and family due to his character defects, but this does not mean that there are no sober people among his ministers and bureaucrats, in fact, some people pointed out the essence of Rasputin's liars a few years ago, such as Stolypin and Kokovtsov, who were ministers of the empire back then, and they have repeatedly exposed Rasputin's liars and debauchery through newspapers and public opinion, But the tsar and empress were both favored by Rasputin. In the end, not only did he not bring down this little court lamp officer, but he put himself in a dangerous situation. One of them was eventually assassinated, and the other had to retire in disgrace.
Loyal ministers retired, then those who were promoted were either traitors or mediocre people, and it was this court lamp chief Rasputin who mastered this ultimate human right, as long as he said a word, Her Royal Highness the Empress of Russia would tame to the Tsar's Majesty hysteria, and after that. The Tsar would sign the letter of appointment with a look of compulsion, and say to his cronies and attendants, "It is better to follow Rasputin's advice than to do it ten times a day." "Then, the fate of the Russian Empire was in the hands of a charlatan.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Goromekin, who is nearly eighty years old, served as the new imperial minister, and the reason why Rasputin suggested to the tsar to promote this Goromekin is said to be because he likes to eat potato food made by Madame Xiang, steamed potatoes, boiled potatoes, and fried potatoes, which are all to Rasputin's taste, so in the eyes of ordinary civilians, Rasputin's principle of employing people is completely based on personal likes and dislikes, rather than on the talent of the person to be promoted.
But in the eyes of shrewd politicians, Rasputin promoted Goromekin to the post of imperial minister. Perhaps the main reason is because of the age of this new appearance, an old man who is almost eighty years old. No matter how old and strong you are, you can't be as energetic as the Young Zhuang faction, and this Goromekin is obviously also very knowledgeable, at the meeting of imperial ministers. He went so far as to say that he would not bother with anything about the ongoing war between Russia and Germany, and that such a good gentleman who had no quarrel with the world would naturally not threaten Rasputin's security, by comparison. Stolypin and Kokovtsov were dangerous elements back then.
But the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire could only represent his own position, not the position of all the nobles and bureaucrats of the Russian Empire, and in fact, the monarchists who professed to be loyal subjects had been plotting to get rid of Rasputin, a courtier at the side of His Majesty the Tsar, in order to save the tsarist system and the Russian Empire, in an old Chinese political term, which is called "the side of the Qing monarch".
Not only did these monarchists of the Russian Empire think so, but they also carried out it, and it was against this background that an assassination of Rasputin was carried out by three big names, namely Plishkevich, the right-wing leader of the Russian Imperial Duma, Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich, the cousin of the Russian Tsar, and the nephew and son-in-law of the Russian Tsar, Duke Yusupov.
The assassination took place in a flat room in Duke Yusupov's lavishly decorated duke's palace. The strategy used is a "beauty trick." "The incense bait is the famous duchess.
As a womanizer, Rasputin has long coveted the Duchess, who is the niece of the Tsar, but he has never found a chance to kiss Fangze. Now that he suddenly heard that Duke Yusupov was actually planning to introduce his wife to him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and without thinking about it, he went to the Duke's Palace to carry out his "redemption" operation.
According to the original trajectory of history, the banquet that night will be Rasputin's fateful banquet. If nothing else, Rasputin would have been thrown into an ice hole in the Neva River by the Assassins after eating seven pieces of cyanide-containing snack, drinking three glasses of poisoned wine mixed with highly toxic substances, being shot three times, and being slammed several times on the temple by a dumbbell. Due to the interference of some factors, the historical trajectory of that night was skewed, and Rasputin did not have time to eat a snack and drink, but was only wounded by a stray bullet in a chaotic shootout, after which he inexplicably "disappeared." Finish.
The person who changed the trajectory of history was Zhao Bei, the president of the Republic of China, and the specific executor was Zhang Zongchang and the group of Russian armed men he brought.
That operation was codenamed "Vodka." "Zhang Zongchang is the first person in charge of the operation, and the first person is Yao Pong of the Russian Imperial ** team, named Chechakov. The group of Russian fighters led by the old Sichuan is a special force, nominally a group of security guards, but because they have been trained by Chinese special tactics instructors. They are actually a group of highly skilled commandos.
Chechakov is not only the owner of a security company. Moreover, they were also Rasputin's friends of wine and meat, and their acquaintance was due to the letter of introduction written by Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi two years ago, and it was through this Chechakov that China's military intelligence was able to grasp Rasputin's whereabouts. and was able to rescue the desperate Rasputin from the ducal palace before the Russian imperial monarchists acted.
In fact, the team could have stopped Rasputin before he entered the Duke's Palace, but considering that the man's "admiration" for the Duchess was too crazy, the final operation was carried out in the Duke's Palace, and Chechakov stayed by Rasputin's side, so that he did not swallow the snacks and wine, and when Chechakov fed a poisonous snack to one of the Duchess's dogs, the assassination plot was quickly revealed.
After that, a chaotic shootout ensued, as heavily armed commandos stormed the Duke's palace in several trucks with machine guns, firing at all those in the duke's palace who tried to stop them with Russian-made machine guns and German-made submachine guns. And before the assassin could calm down from his panic, Rasputin, who had been shot several times, was rescued from the ducal palace, stuffed into a truck, pulled to a secluded place on Nevsky Prospect, and then changed to a diplomatic carriage carrying the Chinese flag and pulled straight into the Chinese embassy in Petrograd, where several Chinese doctors were already waiting. As soon as Rasputin arrived, his treatment began, although he knew that the Russian court lamp-bearer had not eaten anything in the ducal palace, but considering that he had kissed the duchess's hand. Well, this necessary gastric lavage procedure must also be performed.
The whole operation went smoothly, the commandos were uninjured and retreated, although the rescued subjects appeared to be seriously injured. However, thanks to his strong physique and those very effective antibacterial drugs, Rasputin survived and stayed in the Chinese embassy in Grad for more than two months.
In fact, after waking up, Rasputin shouted that he was going to tell Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Russian Empire that his courtiers had committed the crime of disorder, but because the Chinese ambassador to Russia, Shi Zhaoji, did not allow him to leave the secret room with soundproof panels. Rasputin had been in this secret room for more than two months, like an ascetic, not only did he not have any women, but also did not have enough spirits, and as a result, Rasputin's whole person became more and more nervous, and he kept babbling all day long, but no one knew what he was talking about.
Knowing this, it is easy to understand why Rasputin was so happy to see Zhang Zongchang and learn that he was about to send him out of the city.
"Zhang, dear Zhang, did you really save me? Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend you to His Majesty the Tsar, what title do you want? How about the Earl? Or, give you a manor? ”
Rasputin shouted a few words at Zhang Zongchang in an excited voice, and then kissed Zhang Zongchang on the face a few times.
"This old hairy man's stinky rules are really bad! The two big men hugged each other and nibbled together. It's really not like words. Zhang Zongchang broke free from the embrace of this Russian charlatan, wiped his face with his hands, and complained to Shi Zhaoji standing beside him in Shandong dialect, to be honest, he was completely confused about this "vodka operation", and he couldn't figure out why he wanted to rescue this. looks like a madman and a drunkard's Russian god, but since the Military Intelligence Bureau has told him to obey Shi Zhaoji's command, he can only endure it now. See how Shi Zhaoji deals with this Russian charlatan.
"So, dear Zhang, let's get out."
Rasputin was very happy now, and naturally he would not be dissatisfied with Zhang Zongchang's rude behavior, but patted the other party on the shoulder, urging the other party to take him out of this secret room like a prison banquet as soon as possible.
While Zhang Zongchang was wiping his face, Rasputin turned his head, glanced at Shi Juji on the side, and then asked the Chinese ambassador to Russia in a very slow tone.
"Mr. Ambassador, why did you have to put me under house arrest in this secret room? Why should I not go and accuse the Tsar and Empress of the crimes of the rebels and infidels? My injuries are almost healed, and I don't have to stay in the back room all the time to recuperate. ”
Shi Zhaoji understood what Rasputin meant. But this question is difficult to answer, because he does not know the answer, and the reason why he put Rasputin under house arrest in this secret room is actually based on an order from the Commander's Hall, to be precise, the Chinese Mr. President ordered Rasputin to be placed under house arrest here, and now the order to transfer Rasputin outside Petrograd also comes from the Commander's Hall.
