More than a month later, the mentor finally returned to St. Petersburg, where the Russian Revolution was in full swing, with strikes in several cities turning into armed uprisings, and even individual cities already under the control of Soviets of the insurrectionary workers. There was also a great commotion in the vast countryside www.biquge.info the pen, the peasants who could not survive, gathered one after another, and ransacked the landlords' estates, thousands of which were destroyed in the last month.

What made the mentor even happier was that the Tsar's butcher's knife was not so obedient, because the Russian soldiers who were generally born as workers and peasants sympathized with the insurrectionary masses and were dissatisfied with the corruption and arrogance of the officers, and the Russian army mutinies continued to appear, and even soldiers began to join the torrent of revolution.

The revolutionary situation was in full swing, but the Mensheviks and their revolutionary predecessors Georgy Valentinovich Plekhanov, who were increasingly ideologically inclined to the Mensheviks, were always afraid of a violent revolution and did not dare to mobilize and organize the masses, but pinned their hopes on the officer class, which was still loyal to the Tsar, so that the Russian Revolution, although it seemed to be lively, was always scattered and could not pose a substantial threat to the Tsarist government.

However, with the return of Lenin and thousands of Bolshevik cadres, the situation quickly changed, and those revolutionaries who did not know what to do flocked to the banner of the Bolsheviks, including Lev Davidovich Trotsky, who was still hesitating about which revolutionary line to choose. Even earlier than the Iron Comrade who remained in China, he entered the five-member presidium of the Bolsheviks.

At the same time, the Chinese side cooperated without a trace, and Li Hui personally issued an order to the First Cavalry Corps to withdraw to Tsaritsyn immediately, so that the nationalist sentiment aroused by the danger of the Russians would recede, and the contradictions within Tsarist Russia would become more and more prominent, just as Guo Jia's plan to pacify Liaodong in history was the same as Guo Jia's plan to pacify Liaodong in history.

Bai Lang was naturally very unhappy about this, but after all, he had already been mentally prepared, so he still carried out the order honestly, anyway, with his merits in this western expedition, at least one army general couldn't escape. However, the more than 500,000 Russian prisoners of war brought back to the Chinese-occupied areas by the First Cavalry Army suffered a serious crime, because the First Cavalry Army was short of manpower, and the conditions were not too good when marching, and the winter had not completely passed when they set off, and after leaving the relatively warm Black Sea coast, the more they went east, the colder it became, and they also encountered a snowstorm on the way, and by the time they arrived in Tsaritsyn, the 500,000 or so prisoners of war at the time of departure had lost 70,000 or 80,000 people......

In fact, even the First Cavalry Army that escorted them, at this time, has no longer the grand occasion of the strong horses before the Western Expedition, although the Western Expedition is almost invincible, but after all, it is an external battle, the wounded have nowhere to place and can only follow the team, the mortality and disability rates are much higher than normal, plus although the final battle has achieved a brilliant victory, but after all, the disparity in numbers, and the cold weather, a large number of attrition is inevitable, there are more than 70,000 people when they set off, and there are only more than 50,000 left when they return to Tsaritsyn safely, Thousands of them are already disabled, and no less than 20,000 are wounded, and if it weren't for the fact that the elite of the Russian army has been wiped out, they probably won't be able to come back.

After learning about the huge sacrifices made by the First Cavalry Army, Li Hui swallowed back the words that he originally wanted to blame Bai Lang for ignoring the overall situation, as soldiers, it was difficult to do better than them, how could they be required to have the vision of a politician? As long as you can still obey orders, you can tolerate some emotions.

In any case, the First Cavalry Army finally withdrew, and the effect of this was immediate, as soon as they arrived in Tsaritsyn, a large-scale armed uprising broke out in St. Petersburg, Tsar Nicholas II sent a number of armies to suppress the uprising mutinied, some Russian soldiers who did not want to slaughter their siblings turned their guns and killed their commanders, and then joined the ranks of the revolution, the Russian officers of the Tsarist army had to be careful of being shot by their subordinates while directing the troops to quell the chaos, and the situation in St. Petersburg became more and more difficult to control......

Not only did the army have problems, but even the Russian navy, which was relatively well paid, had an accident, and with the tightening of funding and the increase in corruption, the life of the navy sailors became more and more difficult, even the elite on the capital ships. On March 16, the sailors of the battleship Potemkin of the Russian Black Sea Fleet refused to eat the stinking and maggot-infused broth, and instead of apologizing, the aristocratic officers, who were accustomed to acting as prestige, not only did not apologize, but also ordered the sailors to be shot who did not eat stinky meat, which at once detonated the resentment of the sailors, and the angry sailors killed the captain and some angry officers on the spot, and then formed a ship committee to declare an uprising.

The frightened Tsar Nicholas II immediately ordered the Black Sea Fleet to be sent to suppress it, but the sailors of each ship refused to open fire, and even one warship broke out in an uprising and joined the opposite side to fight side by side with the Potemkin.

The uprising of the Navy gave great encouragement to the brothers of the Army, and the revolutionary situation in the two central cities of St. Petersburg and Moscow developed rapidly, with the total number of workers participating in the strike exceeding 2 million, and the number of the Red Army soaring to more than 100,000, and still increasing, with fierce fighting in St. Petersburg and other large and medium-sized cities. To make matters worse, more and more Tsarist troops were out of control, and even if they did not participate in the uprising, they were more or less passive, and even some Russian generals began to work on both sides, secretly liaising with the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks.

If it weren't for Rasputin's advice, Tsar Nicholas II would have almost been ready to flee abroad, but it must be admitted that although this man was uneducated, his insight was far superior to that of the nobles and bureaucrats of Tsarist Russia, and some of the methods he came up with were very targeted. And more importantly, because Rasputin's warnings were fulfilled one by one, and because the queen kept blowing the wind on the pillow, Tsar Nicholas II's trust in this magic stick has reached an unprecedented level, and no matter how correct the opinion is, it must be adopted by the leadership to make sense......

"The first question that needs to be clarified now is what enemies you have and what kind of helpers you have." If Rasputin's words were heard by Li Hui, he would definitely re-recognize this strange person who had been demonized in the historical record, but Tsar Nicholas II was indeed mediocre, and he couldn't hear the cleverness of it, he just waved his hand and let Rasputin continue, which made the god sigh deeply, but Rasputin's fate is now tightly tied to the Tsar's family, even if Nicholas II is not the master, he can only be loyal to him......
