At this time, Nikolai already knew the main reason why Stolypin entered the palace in a hurry, and the reason for this situation was largely due to the protracted bureaucracy in Russia, especially when the whole country was in a state of discouragement.

Knowing that a large number of munitions were hidden in the camp, Nikolai immediately realized that the rebels were going to do something against him, and although he scoffed at their ridiculous behavior, he immediately mobilized a guard division stationed in St. Petersburg, told them to surround the camp and search it, and authorized the shooting of any rebels who dared to resist on the spot.

"Anyone who dares to stop the actions of the Guards is a rebel, and such a person does not need to be tried, but is executed on the spot, and I was too merciful in the past, and it is my kindness that makes them think that they can challenge my authority at will, and there is no need to exile these rebels and thieves, bullets or gallows are the best fate for them." This was what His Majesty the Tsar said to General Wrangel, the commander of his Guards Division.

Unfortunately, he realized that it was too late at this time, just when Wrangel and his men hurried to the refugee camp, or slum, just in time to collide head-on with the warriors rushing out of it, it was already dark, and neither side saw each other clearly at first, until the distance was less than a hundred meters, and he was stunned to find that everyone had guns in their hands.

"Tsar's lackey!" One of the warriors shouted first, and both men came to their senses at once, and almost at the same moment they all fell to the ground, and then immediately after the submachine guns in their hands fired.

The sailors on the cruiser Aurora had already loaded their shells and aimed them at the Winter Palace, and now they were waiting for the signal to move, and when they heard the gunfire in the direction of the refugee camp, the sailor who took the lead shouted without hesitation: "Fire!" ”

Eight 240 guns completed the first salvo in a very short time, it was only two kilometers away from the Winter Palace at most, and the sailors were also veterans of the battle, so what could be any difference in attacking a building twice the size of the Nimitz aircraft carrier at such a distance, and five of the eight shells of nearly two hundred kilograms were in the middle of the Winter Palace.

Fortunately, Nikolai was on the side of the Aurora at this time. At this time, he was distraught to see the Empress Xià educate a few princesses, Crown Prince Alexei went to the Yang Medical Center in Sweden, originally those experts hoped that the Empress could personally go over to take care of her, but Her Majesty the Empress Xià thought that she should not leave her country in wartime, so she sent her eldest daughter Olga there to accompany her younger brother, at this time, this princess, or according to her current title, Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess was fourteen years old.

The sudden explosion stunned the whole family.

"Where's the shell?" In the violent trembling of the Winter Palace, Nikolai angrily yelled at the guards who had arrived in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, it's Aurora!" As soon as the guards finished speaking, the second round of shells fell.

"It's a rebellion, I can't stay here, go to the fortress immediately!" Empress Alexandra said very calmly.

At this time, her husband also came to his senses. While cursing the rebels and thieves like thunder, he quickly left the Winter Palace under the protection of the guards and fled to the Peter and Paul Fortress on the north bank of the Neva River by car to the Peter Paul Fortress on the north bank of the Neva River, as for how to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion next It was his business, but first he had to solve the Aurora, and the shore defense artillery of the Peter Paul Fortress under his personal command was immediately aimed at the Aurora, and this giant fortress that was the brainchild of the Romanov family became his base camp for stubborn resistance, The artillery battle between the two sides made the people on both sides of the strait unlucky.

At this time, the Guards led by Wrangel suffered a crushing defeat, and the bombardment of the Winter Palace by the Aurora completely opened up the hatred of the city's residents against the Tsar. After the last tragedy, the people had already regarded Nikolai as an enemy, and the news of the defeat was confirmed, and the contempt and resentment towards the tsarist government were added. Now that someone is taking the lead, why don't we hurry up and do it together. Not to mention the Social Workers, even those other political forces also saw the opportunity they coveted, and at this time there was not only one party in St. Petersburg, but also a political party in the State Duma. There used to be Stolypin on top of his head, but now he had a chance, and for a time the whole of St. Petersburg was ignited by the flames of the uprising.

And even more unlucky for Wrangel. A large number of sailors from the Kronstadt military port also joined the rebellion, and although it was impossible for them to drive the ships out because of the freeze, it was only twenty kilometers from there to the refugee camp north of St. Petersburg through the ice, and the 280 main guns of the high-speed battleships could bombard his hastily arranged defensive line.

However, until now, Nikolai did not think that these rebels could really threaten his rule, in the final analysis, this situation only happened because of the emptiness of St. Petersburg's defenses, so that these rebels and thieves had a chance to take advantage of it, and he has now sent telegrams to the commanders on all fronts, asking them to rush back immediately to quell the rebellion, as for the war, it has come to this, and if you lose, you will lose! He still believes in the loyalty of these generals, such as Kuropatkin, his uncle Grand Duke Nicholas, these are still worth believing.

But it's a pity that he forgot that it's useless for the generals to be loyal to him, and the soldiers' reluctance to defend him is really deadly, not to mention that even the generals have a lot of grievances against him because of the defeat.

However, at this time, Vladimir was also in trouble, although they launched this uprising, but when the uprising swept the whole of St. Petersburg, the shape shì was no longer something they could control, because there were too many forces joining the uprising, and they didn't know if they didn't launch it, but when they launched, they knew that there were so many opponents of Nikolai. It didn't take long for the total number of rebels on all sides to reach 50,000 or 60,000, and about 10,000 of them were actually under the control of the Social Workers' Party, which means that the Social Workers Party was still unable to seize power, which is really depressing.

And because the Social Workers Party is illegal, these uprisings are like the October Party, the Cadets and other political parties are all open political parties in the State Duma, and the leaders of these parties are all prominent celebrities in society, who want money, money, and connections, and the participation of these people makes the Social Workers Party more and more weak, in this case, neither the Social Workers Party nor these people are in the mood to attack the Peter and Paul Fortress, everyone has to watch out for each other. Everyone understands that once you attack this powerful fortress and suffer heavy losses, you will have no right to speak.

In this way, after some confusion, the gunfire in St. Petersburg lasted less than half a day before it subsided, including the shelling of the Aurora, of course, the reason why the heavy cruiser stopped shelling was mainly because it was destroyed by the shore defense guns of the Peter and Paul Fortress, and it was already sitting in the river, it was only eight 240 guns, and because of the anchoring position, only half of them could attack the Peter and Paul Fortress, how could it be possible to beat this world's top fortress, but the Winter Palace was bombarded by it and most of it turned into ruins.

In this way, the shape of St. Petersburg quickly turned into a state of confrontation, with Nikolai and the loyal Wrangel and a group of nobles who were sincerely loyal to him taking control of Kamene Island and the Peter and Paul Fortress, which although they were small in number, but had a powerful fortress. The Social Workers Party controls the north bank of the Neva River, with the refugee camps as the core, but they do not lack weapons and soldiers, and it is no problem to arm 30,000 or 50,000 people together with those workers, but they have no political foundation, to put it bluntly, there is no one outside them, and once the counter-insurgents on the front line arrive, they will definitely be the first to destroy them. The State Duma, on the other hand, controlled the main city on the south bank of the Neva River, and although these people were not the initiators of the uprising, they were legitimate state institutions, and although they were tamed like little sheep by Stolypin, the State Duma was still the legal Russian legislature, and both the people from all walks of life and the generals of the army at the front recognized this signboard, which Vladimir certainly could not compare.

This uprising has reached such a point that the next thing is to depend on the choice of the front-line army.

The war in St. Petersburg caused the whole world to be in an uproar, no one thought that Nikolai would be so unlucky, he was beaten on the battlefield and bloodied, not to mention that he was stabbed at home, but the chaos in St. Petersburg also means that this war has no meaning to go on, and the Entente negotiators in Stockholm formally proposed to the Allies to take the initiative to cease the war, and then start a new round of peace talks again.

"In that case, then stop fighting, order the front line to stop the offensive as well, and stop the bombing of Europe! Alas, it should have been like this a long time ago, how many fewer people would have died like this, so let's not hold new negotiations in Sweden, look at what kind of mess they are talking about, they have not come up with a result for more than a year, these useless guys are responsible for the millions of people killed and injured this year!

The new negotiations are being held in Beijing, and I am personally overseeing them, and this time we must come up with a result, and what is the situation in Russia? Who has the final say in them now? Is Nikolai still considered the emperor of Russia? Which side do their negotiators represent? Is it the tsarist government or the State Duma or which is called the Social Workers' Party? This issue must be resolved before negotiations, and it is not even clear who to negotiate with! Emperor Yang was very disgruntled and said to his old friend Waldzer, the chairman of the Allied Council who had come to tell him the news of the Entente group's request for peace.
