The news that Britain had successfully suppressed 80,000 Russian troops at Saatchi reached Jérôme. Bonaparte was located in the vicinity of Bakhchisaray after the Jérôme. Bonaparte's hanging heart finally landed temporarily.

Although the quality and equipment of the British army is far superior to that of the Russian army, the Russian army is more numerical than that of Britain.

Therefore, Britain still had some difficulties in successfully suppressing the Russian Empire at Saatchi.

In case the Russian army really wants to shrink the line and return to Simferopol, Jérôme. Bonaparte's follow-up plan may have to be revised.

Now, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not need to worry about Thatch's Russian army choosing the route of the breakout.

After all, a tough breakthrough will cause a lot of losses, not to mention that it is easy to exert a greater influence on their political lives.

If he were Thatch's commander, he would have chosen to stay where he was when he saw that the British army that surrounded them was not capable of eating them, and that Simferopol had not received information about the retreat.

Of course, if he were the current commander-in-chief of Crimea, Gorchakov, he would desperately carry out the order of time for space, give all the central and southern parts of Crimea to the coalition forces, disperse the coalition forces, and then concentrate the strength advantage to destroy the coalition forces in batches.

Unfortunately, the current Crimean commander, Gorchakov, apparently did not let the troops abandon the determination of Saatchi, Bakhchisaray, or even Simferopol.

Faced with a strategically timid Russian general, Jérôme. What was there to be afraid of Bonaparte?

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte sent men to Thatch overnight to remind Marshal Raglan to pay close attention to Simferopol's movements and prevent Simferopol and Thatch from outlanching Britain.

Marshal Raglan immediately sent a letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded that he would definitely keep Jérôme in mind. Bonaparte's reminder.

As Jérôme. As Bonaparte had anticipated, over the next two days, Simferopol's Russian army provided partial reinforcements to Bakhchisaray and Sachi.

Perhaps because the number of men increased was not enough to turn the tide of the war (both increases were the strength of only one corps), the Russian reinforcements at Simferopol were quickly repulsed by the Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire.

During the repulsion of Simferopol's army, a brigade of the French 5th Division relied on perseverance to occupy a high ground north of Bakhchisaray.

Part of the artillery was able to send shells through the high ground to the city of Bakhchisaray, and the whole city began to become panicked.

And the battle revolves around the third line of defense of Bakhchisaray, and there is no slackness.

In just two days, nearly 20,000 more bodies were left between the second and third lines of defense.

More than half of them were Russian soldiers in charge of the defense (around 16000).

The Russian army in Bakhchisaray is on the verge of collapse.

The time soon came to the site of the attack, and on the morning of the third day, a light snow fell in Bakhchisaray.

Jérôme walking among snowflakes. Bonaparte looked at the third line of defense in the distance under artillery fire, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but mutter, "Presumably, Duke Golitsyn's side should have begun!" ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte gave another order to attack to Major General Trochu beside him.

The artillery came to an abrupt halt after ten minutes, and hundreds of French soldiers in white cotton suits slowly charged towards the third line of defense.

……

At a time when the Allied forces and the Russian army were fighting fiercely on the Crimean Peninsula, a major event was also taking place in St. Petersburg, thousands of miles away, that could tear apart the Russian Empire for years.

On this day, Duke Golitsyn, Governor of Petersburg and commander of the Tsarskoye Guards, went to the bedroom of Nicholas I, as usual, to report to Nicholas I.

Standing at the door of the bedroom, he knocked on the door of the bedroom, and when Nicholas I, who was in the bedroom, said "Come in" in a weak voice, Duke Golitsyn entered the bedroom.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Golitsyn, who had entered the bedroom, walked briskly to Nicholas I and bowed to him lying on the sofa in the fireplace.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Duke Golitsyn, now ...... Sound Petersburg ...... What about the situation? As the temperature in St. Petersburg gradually dropped, so did Nicholas I's condition, and he had to gasp for breath even when he was lying in the fireplace with firewood.

"Your Majesty, under your wise deployment, all the chaotic parties in the entire St. Petersburg have been swept away!" Duke Golitsyn slapped Nicholas I on the back.

Nicholas I, who heard that all the rebels had been captured, had a smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand to pat Duke Golitsyn on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, but even the strength to straighten his hand was gone.

Seeing this, Duke Golitsyn immediately put his shoulder in front of Nicholas I's hand, and Nicholas I had a gratifying smile on his face: "Golitsyn...... Laborious...... You're up! ”

"For the sake of the Russian Empire! No matter how hard it is, it's worth it! Duke Golitsyn responded to Nicholas I with the appearance of a "loyal dog of the empire", and then deliberately showed a hesitant look on his face: "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Nicholas I asked Duke Golitsyn.

"Nothing!

Duke Golitsyn replied without saying a word.

"You must have something to hide from me! Tell me, what's going on? Nicholas I asked Duke Golitsyn with a frown.

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" Once again, Duke Golitsyn replied to Nicholas I.

"What's not to say?" Nicholas I responded to Duke Golitsyn.

Then Duke Golitsyn told him that the third hall of Nikolai. During the recent operation of "Operation Thunder", Viscount Orlov discovered that the ministers of the Reich had contacts with the rebels.

"Who is this man?" Nicholas I asked in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, it's Prince Dolgorukov!" Duke Golitsyn gritted his teeth and replied to Nicholas I.

"How could it be him!" Nicholas I muttered a word with a dull gaze, and his face turned even paler than before.

How could he not have imagined that the person who "betrayed" him turned out to be Dolgorukov.

Although Dolgorukovgo and he have had some conflicts with him in recent years over policy issues, he never imagined that Dolgorukov, a courtier he had single-handedly promoted, would join forces with the rebels to overthrow him.

Could it be that he just wants me to go down like that?

As the saying goes, love is deep, hatred is deep, once Nicholas I's heart is full of hatred for a person, everything he has done before can become proof of his infidelity.

"Your Majesty, or many Prince Ergorukov do not know their identities! Perhaps, he was also deceived! Duke Golitsyn "intimately" cleared Dolgorukov.

"Hoodwinked?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Nicholas I's mouth: "How could he be deceived by someone so coincidentally!" I think he can't wait for me to die and my son to succeed him! yes, he must have thought so......"

Duke Golitsyn was silent and left Nicholas I free. (Brain Supplement)

"Ahem...... Cough...... Golitsyn! "Nicholas I, who was coughing violently from being overly emotional, once again called out to Duke Golitsyn.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Golitsyn hurriedly replied.

"Can you help me get rid of that damn traitor!" Nicholas I asked Duke Golitsyn.

"Your Majesty, I think we should take a long-term view of this matter!" Duke Golitsyn once again persuaded Nicholas I, "There is no direct evidence in the evidence available in the Third Hall that Dolgorukov is directly related to the rebels!" Those rebellious parties were only guests at the literary salon of Prince Dolgorukov......"

Before Duke Golitsyn could finish speaking, Nicholas I rudely interrupted Duke Golitsyn: "This is enough to prove that Dolgorukov is in their company!" What you have to do now is to capture Dolgorukov at once! ”

"But......" Duke Golitsyn once again showed a hesitant look on his face, as if he did not want to offend Dolgorukov.

"Golitsyn, are you going to betray me too?" Nicholas I spoke loudly to Duke Golitsyn.

"Of course not!" Duke Golitsyn said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's kindness to me, I will not be able to repay it in my life, how can I betray Your Majesty!" ”

"Good! I order you in the name of the Emperor of the Russian Empire that you immediately send someone to arrest Dolgorukov and put him in prison! I don't want to see this guy in the position of Minister of War for a moment! Nicholas I's pale face showed an unusually serious expression, and he gave an order to Duke Golitsyn.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Golitsyn responded to Nicholas I.

"Go now! I'm here waiting for your good news! Nicholas I grimaced and smiled reluctantly.

Duke Golitsyn left his bedroom with the expectations of Nicholas I, and reaffirmed "discipline" to the gate of the bedroom and to the soldiers in the palace, and at the same time sternly admonished the maids and butlers of the palace not to say things that they should not say.

Duke Golitsyn, having given everything after giving an account, left the palace, and in the evening the Minister Dolgorukov was killed by Nikolai Dolgorukov. The members of the Third Hall led by Orlov were arrested and imprisoned by means of a surprise attack.

[PS: The capture was too aggressive, resulting in the veterans in Dolgorukov's mansion firing into the third hall, and the two sides exchanged fire for a short time, which ended with Dolgorukov giving the soldiers an order. 】

The whole of St. Petersburg was in a state of panic, and Duke Golitsyn, having moved to the last big stone in front of him, had come to the final step of the coup.
