Chapter 773: The Winner of the Battle of Moscow
After the two thorny issues of indigenization and the abolition of the National Guard were on track, the time also came to mid-August.
And Jérôme. Bonaparte was finally able to turn his gaze from home to abroad, and it was at this time that Valewski became a leader for Jérôme. Bonaparte brought an update on the situation in the Russian Empire.
"Your Majesty, according to the news from St. Petersburg! The war on the side of Moscow has already been decided! "Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte reported.
"Who won exactly?" Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly asked Valewski.
"His Majesty Emperor Alexander II!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Valewski with a puzzled look on his face.
It stands to reason that the victorious army should have been won by Golitsyn's army, because the distance from St. Petersburg to Moscow was much closer than the distance from Odessa to Moscow.
Moreover, there is a railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg as an auxiliary, and no matter how you think about it, it should be said that the Golitsyn government won.
Even if it had not been for the final victory of the Golitsyn government, the "Battle of Moscow" should not have ended so soon.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Valewski how exactly Alexander II won the victory!
Valevsky told Jérôme. A large part of the reason why Bonaparte and Alexander II won so easily was the defection of the native forces in Moscow.
Because Moscow was located in the interior of the Russian Empire, the Moscow aristocracy did not suffer from the complete corruption of republican ideas like the nobles of St. Petersburg.
The Moscow aristocracy also had an impulse to establish a republic, but this impulse was slightly inferior to that of the St. Petersburg aristocracy's desire to kill the Tsar's entire family.
Therefore, at the stage of the integration of the Moscow regional armed forces by Duke Golitsyn, the Moscow local armed forces already showed a negative side.
However, because the officers of the Moscow nobility at that time were still largely on the side of the progressive forces, they were not purged by Duke Golitsyn.
When Alexander II led the army to fight, the Moscow armed forces did not immediately defect, but tried their best to fight the army sent by Alexander II.
As time went on, the mortality rate of progressive aristocratic officers in Moscow also increased, and some of the officers who were originally at the bottom were quickly promoted.
It doesn't matter if you don't promote, as soon as you promote, there will be a big mess.
The military commanders who were quickly promoted were members of the oppressed class, but they were ideologically royalists.
After the royalist officers gradually took control of the Moscow army, they began to collude with each other under the eyes of the commissioners.
The stupid commissioner, however, did not care in the slightest, believing that the army in his hands was still the same revolutionary army he had been.
Thus, in early August, the Royalist officers used a battalion of troops (the actual number of soldiers under the control of the Royalists was less than a third of the entire Moscow army, and they were able to use less), killed the commissioner who was responsible for supervising them, and then slaughtered the Moscow Command.
By the time the progressive officers had reacted, the royalist officers had already stormed the main city of Moscow and announced in a loud manner that they were going to put things right and return to the command of Emperor Alexander II.
The leaderless progressive officers tried to lead the army in a counterattack, only to find themselves unable to fully control the army.
After a long day of fighting in the streets of Moscow, the progressive officers had no choice but to leave.
And the royalist officers who occupied Moscow had robbed Moscow for half a day before sending troops under Alexander II into the city.
After listening to Valewski's description, Jérôme. Bonaparte had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
After a while, Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered that the operation of the Moscow royalists was not a poor imitation of the royalists in the early days of the French Republic!
It's just that the control of the army in the French Republic at the beginning was far less bad than that of the Golitsyn government.
If this had happened on French soil, the rebels would not have been able to win.
"I'm afraid the Golitsyn government is going to be blown up!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and said to Valewski.
"Your Majesty, the current Golitsyn government has announced that it will establish a National Guard Army completely loyal to the government of St. Petersburg in the large cities occupied by Russia, and St. Petersburg, the capital, will establish a National Guard Army of 300 battalions to reinforce all fronts!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
"300 battalions!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stared at Valevsky with wide eyes and said, "Are you sure it's 300 battalions?" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm sure!" Valewski replied firmly.
"Tut-tut......" Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but shake his head, "300 battalions, to say the least, 150,000 people!" I remember that the population of St. Petersburg has not yet broken a million! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Valevsky nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
By 1855, the only two European cities with a population of more than one million were Paris and London.
"Even if I count it as having a population of 900,000 in St. Petersburg (in fact, the population of St. Petersburg in 1890 was more than 1 million), 150,000 National Guardsmen! Equivalent to one-sixth of the population of the entire Moscow! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Valevsky: "Does Duke Golitsyn want to drain the entire population of St. Petersburg?" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and asked Valewski: "Valewski, do you think there is a possibility that the current Golitsyn has been Robespierretic!" ”
"Your Majesty, what is Robespierreization?" Valewski asked curiously.
"It's just to see that everyone thinks they're going to betray them, and then gradually fall into madness!" Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Golitsyn has been more and more like to be alone since some time ago, and he often doesn't know what to do!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression immediately became solemn, and he remembered the king of the great west who played a stalk in his previous life, who also gradually rose up after entering Sichuan, and then began to slaughter Sichuan madly!
"We've got to do something!" Jérôme. Bonaparte muttered quietly that he didn't want to see Valewski fall into the situation of King Onishi so quickly.
The civil war in the Russian Empire had to at least coincide with the civil war in Soviet Russia, and Alexander II could easily turn his gaze to the west if he ended the fighting too quickly.
"Valewski, what do you think we can do?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, turning his gaze to Valewski.
After thinking for a moment, Valevsky said to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "Your Majesty, I think we should give Duke Golitsyn some support!" ”
"But Golitsyn has no money left!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Valevsky, "The only remaining gold in the treasury of the Russian Empire has been completely emptied by us!" ”
"Your Majesty, there are still a lot of artifacts in Russia!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied violently.
After listening to Valevsky's words, Jérôme. Bonaparte patted his head and responded to Valevsky: "Look at my memory, Russia still has a lot of valuable things!" ”
"Your Majesty, are we going to deal directly with them or are we going to ......," Valevsky asked Jérôme again. Bonaparte said.
"Through middlemen, of course! I think the Kingdom of Sweden is a good choice! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied decisively.
He planned to use Sweden as a middleman to transport a part of the artillery to Golitsyn's hands.
Jérôme. Bonaparte did not believe that Golitsyn, with his artillery, would be able to defeat again.
"I see!" Valewski nodded in response.
"By the way, I remember that France is still inhabited by former Hungarian officers!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said again to Valewski.
"Yes!" Valewski nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
"You send someone to negotiate with them quietly, and let them come to Golitsyn's aid too! It's just that they went to support in the name of volunteers, and the empire didn't know about it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave another order to Valewski.
"Understood!" Valevsky replied.
……
After giving an account of the support for the Golitsyn government, Jerome Jerome. Bonaparte and Valevsky exchanged views on other issues.
Valevsky told Jérôme. Bonaparte, who was informed by the ambassador of the Kingdom of Britain, that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would visit the French Empire in late August.
To put it bluntly, the Victorians came to play.
"It's finally here! I thought they weren't going to come! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied lightly, "You tell Victoria and Albert on my behalf, and say that I and Empress Augusta welcome them!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Valewski nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
"By the way, when is Maximilian's coronation?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Wallevsky.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the coronation of Grand Duke Maximilian in Galicia, Galicia, will take place at the end of September, and the coronation in Warsaw is scheduled for October, you just need to go to Warsaw in October!"
