At a time when the St. Petersburg aristocracy was hesitating whether a military coup d'état should be carried out against the Provisional Government of Golitsyn, the Russian Imperial Army was plunging into an unprecedented crisis on the Crimean Peninsula, more than a thousand kilometers away from St. Petersburg.

There are two reasons for the crisis of the Russian Imperial Army, the first of which is the successive crushing defeats of the Russian army in the recent period.

Now the Russian army has not only lost Bakhchisaray, but even Simferopol has also been cut off by the French Empire by occupying the village of the Guards. (Simplified Version)

[France surrounded and reinforced with three divisions/corps (2nd, 3rd, and 5th divisions) to continuously attract the support of the defenders of Simferopol, and then dispatched the troops of the 1st and 4th Divisions to land through Alusta, and detoured to the Guards village in the rear of Simferopol to cut off the back road.

When the Russian Empire reacted, nearly 40,000 men of the 1st and 4th Divisions had already formed a relatively complete defensive position in the Guards Village.

Alexander II and Hedu of Simferopol were both Gorchakov, reacting that their own rear roads were outflanked, and hurriedly sent troops to attack the Guards village, both of which were defeated by French troops who were slightly outnumbered by them.

France seized the opportunity to launch a general offensive against Bakhchisaray and took the Bakhchisaray area in one fell swoop. (Detailed Version)

The second point is that the news of the establishment of the provisional government by Duke Golitsyn was reported by Jérôme. After Bonaparte deliberately passed on to Simferopol and Thatch, it dealt a devastating blow to the Russian army, which had already lost morale.

Now stationed in Saatchi and Simferopol can be said to be in complete chaos, not to mention high-intensity combat with the coalition forces, even an orderly retreat cannot be carried out.

Almost every day, dozens, if not hundreds, of people would break away from the Russian Imperial Army and surrender to France and Britain.

After several days of such a day, Alexander II, as the supreme commander of the Russian army, finally made up his mind to ask Jérôme . Bonaparte succumbed, even if it was under extremely harsh conditions!

If the rebels in the Petersburg region were allowed to gain a foothold, it was doubtful whether the Romanovs would survive the Russian Empire.

After all, this coup d'état was unlike all previous coups.

Previously, whether Catherine killed Peter the Great, or Tsar Paul was killed by the Guards, the change of the tsar was completed without changing the form of government.

Both the new tsar and the monarch killers maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding.

And Duke Golitsyn not only replaced the tsar, but he also removed all the foundations of the Romanov family's rule over the Russian Empire.

Duke Golitsyn policy on the New Russian Empire,. In the eyes of Alexander II, it was nothing more than a republican regime in the cloak of tsarism.

Therefore, for the sake of the Romanovs, Alexander II in no way allowed the guy Duke Golitsyn to live.

Of course, it was not only Alexander II who had this idea, whether it was Commander Gorchakov or Ambassador Gorchakov, after seeing the policy issued by Duke Golitsyn, they all realized that Duke Golitsyn was preparing to learn from the original thinking of the French Republic and uproot the nobles and Romanovs together.

Gorchakov's cousins, who were part of the privileged class, were not willing to sacrifice their family's privileges for the sake of the whole of Russia, as Duke Golitsyn did.

And the current Duke of Golitsyn is just taking back their privileges, God knows if the next step will be to learn from the original French Republic to return all their property to the public, which is the wealth they have earned through generations of hard work, why should they give the silver for nothing, to the poor.

Therefore, the Gorchakov brothers also wanted to negotiate peace as soon as possible and return to St. Petersburg to fight the rebels to the death.

It's just that since the two brothers are not the real decision-makers of the army, and they also know about this peace talks, Jérôme. Bonaparte's asking price was only higher than the last time, so they did not dare to say anything more, so they could only wait patiently for Alexander II to make a decision.

"I have decided to open a second peace talks with the French Empire!" When Alexander II publicly announced his willingness to make peace with the French Empire again, the Gorchakov brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

So, Ivanov, who was in charge of liaison. Gorchakov again walked out of Simferopol with a white flag and came to the headquarters of the French army in Bakhchisalai.

This time with Ivanov. The person with whom Gorchakov met was not Jerome. Bonaparte and Valewski, but one of Valewski's retinue.

"Where is Your Majesty now?" Ivanov. Gorchakov anxiously asked Zherom . Bonaparte's location.

The entourage replied lightly: "Your Majesty and Your Excellency the Minister are temporarily going to Constantinople!" If there is anything important, you can wait until His Majesty returns! ”

"When will Your Majesty be able to return?" Ivanov. Gorchakov hurriedly asked again.

"I can't tell!" The retinue touched his chin to Ivanov. Gorchakov responded: "Short, about a week!" If it's long, maybe two or three months!

After all, the Crimean peninsula is just too cold! ”

As he spoke, the attendant stomped his foot gently, as if to dispel the chill on his body.

"Two or three months! This...... It's been too long! "Ivanov. Gorchakov responded anxiously to his entourage.

"Mr. Messenger, maybe Your Majesty will be back in a week!" The retinue laughed happily to Ivanov. Gorchakov replied: "Just wait patiently!" ”

"But......" Ivanov. Gorchakov wanted to say something, but was overwhelmed by Jzerom. Patterson reached out and stopped.

Jérôme. Patterson looked at Ivanov with a blank face. Gorchakov responded: "Mr. Ivanov, please don't say much, just return to Simferopol and wait patiently!" ”

"I ......" Ivanov. Gorchakov felt an unusual sense of grievance.

But who makes now they have to ask him, Ivanov. Gorchakov paid a smile on the live broadcast and said that if Jerome. If either of the Emperor Bonaparte and the Foreign Minister of Valewski returned, they should be sure to go to Simferopol and inform them.

When the time comes, their crown prince Alexander will surely reward them heavily.

"Mr. Ivanov!" Jérôme. Patterson smiled slightly and said defiantly: "As far as I know, the new government in Petersburg does not seem to recognize the legitimacy of your crown prince!" ”

Hear Jérôme. Patterson's words, Ivanov. Gorchakov's face immediately became gloomy, and after a while, he hurriedly smiled reluctantly at Jerome. Patterson responded: "I don't think any responsible person who has ever taken a turn to rest will recognize that Petersburg government has no legitimacy in the slightest!" ”

"To tell you honestly, our majesty only cares about the monarchy, and doesn't care who sits in the monarch's seat!" Jérôme. Patterson also revealed.

Jérôme. Patterson's words made Ivanov. Gorchakov's face froze, and a sense of crisis flooded into his heart.

Only from Jérôme. From Patterson's words, it was clear that the French Empire did not regard the Petersburg group of fellows as enemies of the monarchy.

If the Petersburg bunch were to be accepted by the monarchy, then their situation would be even worse.

"Please tell your Majesty! And ask him to help the Russian Empire for the sake of the face of the same monarchy! "Ivanov. Gorchakov pleaded with Jerome. Patterson, "The purpose of that group of fellows is to implement a republican system in the name of the monarch, so to speak, the individual ...... of the entire monarchy"

"The monarchy is not Coca-Cola (Jérôme. Patterson didn't know anything about Coca-Cola, because the phrase was Jérôme. Bonaparte gave him), we cannot demand that all monarchies in the world be the same! Sometimes, a pluralistic monarchy is a way to go! "Jérôme. Paterson did the same thing as he did to Ivanov. Gorchakov said.

"Coca-Cola? What is it? "Ivanov. Gorchakov asked Jerome with a puzzled expression. Patterson Road.

"A special kind of water to drink!" Jérôme. Patterson vs. Ivanov. Gorchakov responded.

"But we have to uphold the divine right of the monarch, don't we? If some people are allowed to break the rules, then the monarchy will lose its sanctity! He will not be able to rule the whole country! "Ivanov. Gorchakov tried to apply the French monarchy to what he understood as a monarchy.

Jérôme. Patterson smiled slightly, he didn't want to tell Ivanov. The Gorchakov French monarchy was based on a referendum, and the will of the people could influence the will of the monarch to a certain extent.

"I will relay your words to Your Majesty by telegram!" Jérôme. Patterson nodded to Ivanov. Gorchakov replied.

Ivanov. Shortly after Gorchakov's departure, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Valewski appeared in Jérôme. Patterson's front asked him about his relationship with Ivanov. The content of Gorchakov's conversation.

Jérôme. Patterson told them the situation, Jérôme. Bonaparte said lightly: "It seems that the Russian Empire is almost unable to hold out!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Valevsky hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "It won't be long before Alexander will give in to you!" ”

"By then, we'll have to entertain them!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in an accentuated voice.
