Chapter XVIII
Workers outside the Hermitage Square still carried portraits of Tsar Nicholas II, held church flags, sang prayers, and shouted, while the military police on the opposite side waited quietly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info Ulyanov saw Witte go in and said to Chaginov: "Karpovich, you quickly lead the members of the Red Group and the other members of the committee out of here, these members have been vetted by us and have strong revolutionary convictions, so after leaving here, you can tell them the true identity of Vasya." If I were arrested, all the work of the committee would be the responsibility of General Vasya. β
Hearing this, Chaginov hurriedly said: "Ilyich, I'll stay, you leave, the committee can't do without you!" β
"No, Comrade Chaginov." Ulyanov shook his head and said, "I can't leave, even if I leave the tsar's military police, they will search for me everywhere, which will not be good for our future work." However, you now have a lot of responsibilities, one to ensure the security of Vasya's identity, the other to ensure the safety of all committee members, and you are also responsible for the development of the Red Group. Comrade Karpovich, you quickly take everyone away. And Sverdlov, the Tsar's accomplice, seems to have known Vasya's identity, and we must eradicate him! β
Seeing that he could not convince Ulyanov, Chaginov had no choice but to follow Ulyanov's instructions, and he first came to Yankinov's side and said: "Comrade Yankinov, I now order you to inform all the members of the Red Group to take all the members of the Red Group from the square except Comrade Ulyanov and go to secret point No. 1. β
After hearing this, Yankinov asked in wonder: "Why is Comrade Ulyanov not included?" β
"This is an order from Comrade Ulyanov!" Chaginov said, "And tell Luka that now Sverdlov has doubts about the identity of Zero, and we must get rid of the nail." β
Yankinov replied: "Okay, I understand, I'll arrange it." Chaginov watched Yankinov leave, then looked at Ulyanov, who was still shouting slogans not far away, sighed, turned around and walked out of the crowd, leaving the square for secret point No. 1.
Outside the main hall of the Winter Palace, Interior Minister Goremygin looked coldly at the crowd in the square, and then said to Belinsky beside him: "Your Excellency, General, after a while, I will send someone to say that Your Majesty wants to meet with the workers' representatives, and when they enter the palace, we will take down all these workers' representatives." At the same time, the police were ordered to stand back, and then the palace guards could move. β
"Yes, Your Excellency Goremykin!" Belinsky replied in a sonorous voice, and then called the guard officer beside him and said: "Go and inform those people below, and say that they are invited to elect representatives, and Your Majesty will interview them." After these people entered the palace, they were immediately arrested, and no one was left. β
The guard officer took the order, and at this time Werther also happened to come out, Werther glanced under the Winter Palace and then said to Goremygin: "Your Excellency Goremykin, Your Majesty let me tell you: 'I have not seen him since the accident, and this matter will be ended because of him.'" βγ β
"Oh? Your Majesty said so? Goremygin said, "Then please reply to Your Majesty, Your Excellency, I see." β
Werther nodded and spoke a few more words to Belinsky before leaving, only to look back at the palace just as he was about to enter the palace gate. At the same time as Werther entered the palace, the guard officer also came to the demonstrators, and only heard him say: "Please elect your representatives, and Your Majesty will talk to you in person." β
When the workers heard this, a burst of shouts erupted, and Ulyanov walked up to the guard officer and said: "I am the chief of this strike, please take me to your majesty." β
The man saw that Ulyanov was alone, so he asked, "You are the only one?" Can you represent all the workers? As soon as the man's voice fell, the surrounding workers all said: "He is our head, and his request is our demand." β
Seeing this, the guard officer had no choice but to say, "Okay, you can go with me!" Ulyanov then walked through the gap between the police, and then the guard officer said to the police captain who was following him: "Your Majesty orders that all the policemen on duty be brought back." The captain of the police gladly accepted the order, and the guard officer took Ulyanov to the Winter Palace.
Outside the palace gate, Goremygin and Belinsky were surprised to see only one representative, and after Ulyanov's arrival, they asked: "Who are you?" Can you fully represent these workers? β
"Your Excellency, I'm Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov. Ulyanov looked at Goremygin and said, "I am the head of the Petersburg workers' strike committee, and I can speak for all the workers. β
Goremygin was surprised: "You are Ulyanov? Belinsky on the side was also surprised, he had always heard of it but had never seen it, he didn't expect this person to be so young. Goremykin recovered from a short moment of scarcity and said: "Well, then please come with me to your majesty." β
Ulyanov followed Goremygin into the hall of the Winter Palace, but as soon as he entered the palace gate, the door was closed, and at the moment of closing, four or five Praetorian Guard soldiers rushed out of the periphery and pressed Ulyanov to the ground. Ulyanov, who was on the ground, struggled incessantly, shouting in his mouth: "Shameless! It is shameless that you, the rulers of the Russian Empire, should treat the voices of the people in such a way! β
Goremygin looked at Ulyanov lightly and said: "Your Excellency, you are also from a noble family, and your ancestors have also served your majesty with blood and sweat, why do you want to betray your ancestors against your majesty?" You're to blame! While Goremygin was speaking, gunshots rang out from outsideβthe sound of a single shot from Mosinagan's rifle, and the continuous spraying of Makqin, and at this moment Ulyanov struggled and roared: "How can you treat the people like this, why are they wrong?" You're a bunch of executioners! You are demons from hell! β
Seeing this, Goremygin said to the soldiers: "Shut the mouth of this madman and put him down!" The soldiers had to swing their fists and hit Ulyanov in the stomach, gagged Ulyanov's mouth with rags as he screamed in pain, and then struggled to restrain the resisting Ulyanov and led him out of the hall.
When Goremygin saw that the soldiers had taken Ulyanov away, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and tell Your Excellency General Belinsky that if you see Sverdlov, take him down as soon as possible, take him to a secret prison, and if he resists, cut off his tongue." The soldiers took the order, and Goremykin, listening to the constant gunfire outside, shook his head and headed for the place where Nicholas II was.
In the dormitory of Nicholas II in the Winter Palace, Nicholas II looked at the scene in the square outside the window, shook his head and said: "Vasya, why do you say these people are doing this? I and my ancestors worked hard to make Russia stronger, so that they could have a job and support their families, but instead of repaying the favor, they attacked me, and I did not understand. Vasya, do you understand? β
Werther stared blankly at everything outside the window, at this moment he hated to slash the executioner in front of him, so many people were worthless in his eyes, there were children, women, and old people, but he let the army suppress it, and the blood stained the Hermitage Square red, and he was still sighing unashamedly. Witte suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, these people are all bewitched by those revolutionaries, but in fact, most people still respect and love Your Majesty. β
"Well, Vasya you're right." Nicholas II said: "Most of the people in this empire still respect and love me. Vasya, go and tell the Praetorian Guards to stop, for they are all my people, no matter what. β
Witte replied respectfully: "The minister obeys!" Witte left the palace, which made him feel like hell, and in the front corridor he met Goremykin, who had a smug smile on his face, and Witte felt so disgusted that he forcibly insisted on Goremykin, and then went outside the palace and said to Belinsky: "Uncle Belinsky, Your Majesty orders that the repression of the demonstrators be stopped, and that the calm and serenity of the square be quickly restored. β
Belinsky was given the order to inform his subordinates, but Werther looked at the square and muttered: "Calm and serene, this is calm and serene!" β
