Chapter XXXIII: Gunfire at Vilnius Station
Beloyeva lived in the Werther manor like this, and I don't know whether Leongi deliberately or unintentionally, Beloyeva's house turned out to be next to Werther's bedroom, and Werther could only cry out in vain when he saw this. "Sasha, you must be tired from traveling for so long, so take a rest, and I'll have a servant call you when it's time for dinner."www.biquge.info Beloyevavet, who was busy packing her luggage, had no choice but to say.
Beloeva raised her head and replied: "Vasya, you go and get busy, I see." ”
Seeing this, Witte had no choice but to leave and continue to wander around the manor, and after a while Leongi came again: "Young master, Mr. Chaginov is visiting, do you think he should come directly?" ”
"Uncle Leongi, you take him to the pavilion by the lake, and if you don't have my orders, no one else will come near him." Witte wanted to talk to Chaginov in his study, but considering that the study was close to the house where Belloeva lived, he had to ask Leongi to take Chaginov to the pavilion by the lake.
"Haha, Vasya, you're finally back, you don't know I've been busy with me all this time." Before the people arrived, Chaginov saw Witte from afar and said loudly.
When Witte heard this, he hurriedly took two steps forward and took Chaginov's hand and said, "Good work, Karpovic. But I'm afraid you'll have to be busy for a while. ”
When Chaginov heard this, he exclaimed: "What? Is something wrong? ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that what I did in Moscow this time was a bit excessive, and I had to go out and avoid the limelight." Witte smiled, "Besides, I would like to go to Europe to meet Mr. Plekhanov and Mr. Bebel, and also to meet and communicate with Marxists abroad, and most importantly, to get some funds for us." ”
Hearing this, Chaginov's nervous heart relaxed and asked, "Then how long are you going to go out?" ”
"The longest is half a year, the shortest is three months." "So the affairs of Petersburg will depend on you," said Witt. ”
Chaginov smiled indifferently and said: "It's nothing. I have come here to report to you a few things, as well as some things that have been established by the committee and need you to finalize the board, and finally to see if there are any new arrangements. ”
Chaginov slowed down and said: "Since the New Year, according to the arrangement made by you and Chairman Ulyanov before leaving, we have entered a dormant period, and during this time we have mainly done the following things: 1. The 'Red Group' organization has been further expanded, and currently has 1,587 formal members and 4,523 peripheral members, covering Petersburg schools, factories, the army, the police, and government institutions.
2. Workers' pickets have been established in major factories in Petersburg, with a total of 12,000 members, and the biggest problem at present is the lack of weapons and training.
3. We have strengthened our contacts and communication with Marxist organizations in Moscow, Kiev, Minsk, Warsaw, Vilnius, Odessa, and other places.
4. On February 17 this year, we held the second session of the committee, at which the work of the previous stage was summarized, and new members were elected. Konstantinovna. Krupskaya, Zetelbum. Yuri. Osipovich, Karenis. Andreevich. Marchenko is a member of the Trinity Committee. ”
Witte listened to Chaginov tell what he had done one by one, then thought for a moment and said: "Karpovich, you are in charge of the specific work in the association, and you have done a great job. This time, I talked with Ilyich in Shoushan Village, and there are several tasks that you and your comrades need to complete together.
First of all, Ilyich wrote the "Letter to the Petersburg Marxist Association" in Shoushan Village, in which we have a detailed summary of our previous work, and point out our shortcomings and what we need to do in the future.
Secondly, after talking with Ilyich this time, I decided to form a unified Marxist party in all Russia, and the name of this party was set as the 'Communist Party of Russia', which signified that this party was the party of our Russian communists.
Finally, the manuscript of Ilyich's "Letter to the Tsar" should also be printed and widely disseminated, so that the people can better see through the core of the Tsar's rotten rule. ”
Chaginov nodded and made these points urgent, and then said: "Comrade Krupskaya suggested that we continue to carry out assassinations of tsarist officials in order to make the tsarist government even more panicked. ”
"Don't rush to do this, our task at present is to continue to develop the masses, in addition to workers, citizens and students, we must also go deep into the countryside, and develop farmers to become our firm supporters." "We have to develop ourselves, assassination is a means and not an end, our goal is to overthrow the tsarist regime and establish a new regime in which the people are the masters of the country, so we must lay a solid foundation," Witte said. I also ask you to convey these words to all the comrades of the CPPCC National Committee. ”
Chaginov said: "I understand, I will pass on all the words of you and Chairman Ulyanov, I don't know what else to arrange?" ”
Werther thought for a moment and said, "There's one more thing that's important, and only you can do it. ”
"What's the matter?" Chaginov hurriedly asked.
Witt smiled and said, "Drink!" Chaginov was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you Vasya, I still can't get rid of your stinky problem of teasing people." Drink it, and see if I don't drink you. ”
Early the next morning, the hungovered Witt, groggy with the help of Uncle Leongi, and Beloeva boarded the train to Minsk, where they took the connecting train to the city of Vilnius, the capital of Vilnius province. Located at the confluence of the Vilnya and Nereis rivers, Vilnius is thought to have taken its name from the Vilnya River that runs through the city, and is a historic city in Northeast Europe, first mentioned in the literature in 1323, when the Grand Duke of Lithuania Godminas made his capital here, and then wrote letters to the German principalities, calling for Germans and Jews to settle here, and the city became the capital of Lithuania. During the Russo-Polish War of 1654-1667, the city was first occupied by the Russians. In 1795, when Vilnius, the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom, was annexed by the Russians, and although the local Lithuanians and Poles staged many uprisings, they were ruthlessly suppressed by the Russians, especially the "January Uprising" in 1863, when fierce fighting broke out in the city, and Mihai Mlajov, known as the "executioner", brutally suppressed it, after which all civil liberties were abolished and the Polish and Lithuanian languages were banned. So the city, although it had been under Russian rule for a hundred years, had no good opinion of the Russians, like other cities in Poland-Lithuania.
Although the journey was tedious or even boring, the train arrived in Vilnius a week later, and when the two got off the train, Witte could see the anger hidden in the eyes of the locals carrying their luggage at the station, just over 30 years after the last large-scale uprising, a pain that many local people will never forget.
Beloyeva, who was standing next to Werther, could not see this, so she asked Werther, who was in a demented state as soon as she got out of the car: "Vasya, where are we going now?" ”
When Witt heard Beloeva's shouts, he instantly came back to his senses and said, "Let's go find an inn and stay in the neighborhood first." Sasha, be sure to be safe here, the Lithuanians don't have much affection for us Russians. After saying that, Witt did not forget to tell Beloeva.
"Don't worry, I'll take notice." "These nasty Lithuanians, we are all Slavic peoples, why do they hate us so much?" I heard from my father that he had dealt with the mob here as well, and he told me that they were all crazy. ”
Witt noticed the angry glint in the eyes of the young man who was carrying their luggage behind him when Beloeva said these words again, and when Witt was about to say something, he heard a "bang", and then someone shouted: "Dead, dead!" Then the people who heard the gunshots began to scatter and flee, and the police guarding the station also blew their horns and quickly walked in the direction where the gunshots had just been heard.
