Chapter 309 Tsar, the devil is making a revolution in the Qing Dynasty! (Please order and vote)
Hearing the Tsar say that next Christmas would be spent in Constantinople, Natalya, a beautiful Russian girl of Germanic descent from Poland, frowned.
The Tsar knew that his little niece was kind-hearted, and the Romanov family were all "kind-hearted" and did not want to see people suffering.
So the Tsar smiled and called Natalia by her nickname: "Natasha, you don't need to be sad about tens of thousands of casualties. That is the necessary price to make Russia great. And our Russian Empire is the first "Three Romes, we have inherited the glory of the Second Rome. Recovering Constantinople and protecting all Christians in the Turkish Empire is the historical mission given to us Russians by Jesus the Savior. We are just fulfilling our mission now."
The girl tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she said to the Tsar: "Uncle, I am not sad about the tens of thousands of casualties. This is nothing."
The Tsar nodded: "Yes! This is what a Russian Grand Duchess should say!"
The girl added: "I got a "Great Book of Prophecy" in Warsaw. The book predicted major events that would happen in late 1852 and 1853. It also predicted the outbreak of the ninth Russo-Turkish War and some consequences."
"Oh, it's those restless Poles who are causing trouble again!" the Tsar dismissed. "Let me guess, are those Poles predicting that our Russian Empire's army and navy will be defeated by the Turkish Sultan's army?"
When talking about this matter, the Tsar actually laughed, as if he was telling a very, very funny joke.
"Oh, no." Natalia shook her head slightly, "The Great Prophecy says that Britain and France will officially join the war in March 1854, and in January 1854, the British fleet will enter the Black Sea. !」
"Nonsense! What a load of nonsense!" the Tsar said to his son angrily, "Sasha, go and give the Polish governor an order to arrest and hang the author of the "Great Book of Prophecy"!"
The Crown Prince Alexander remained motionless, as if he had not heard the Tsar's order.
"What?" The Tsar looked at his son, "Sasha, why don't you go and convey my order!"
"Father, because the author of this "Great Book of Prophecy" is not in Poland at all."
"Not in Poland?" the Tsar snorted, "Then where is he?"
"It seems to be in the Qing Dynasty," Natalia replied, taking out a French version of "The Great Book of Prophecy" and handing it to the Tsar. "This was given to Maria Warsaw from the Doria family who visited Warsaw. My mother's."
"Mary of the House of Doria? Isn't she from the Pope?" The tsar took the "Great Book of Prophecy" handed over by his niece and opened it to read.
During the boyhood and youth of Nicholas I, French culture was still popular in the Russian court. Of course, he was well-educated and proficient in French, so he quickly finished reading the thin "Great Book of Prophecy" and his expression changed. It gradually became more solemn - the content above seemed a bit scary!
Then he remembered Maria's background.
The full name of Maria of this Doria family is Maria de Clementina Doria. She comes from Genoa, Kingdom of Sardinia. The Doria family to which she belongs has been a member of the Genoese Aristocratic Republic from 1528 to 1797. They are all one of the ruling families of the Republic of Genoa and have a very close relationship with the Holy See. They have produced many senior priests in history.
After the Genoese Aristocratic Republic was destroyed by Napoleon, members of the Doria family became aristocrats of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and some of them also worked in two boats and served the Holy See.
The background of this "Mary of the House of Doria" is quite complicated. She seemed to have been a nun in her early years. Later, with the surname Doria and the title of countess given to her by the pope, she became the same as those of many countries. The aristocrats and ladies were fighting fiercely, and it was said that many big nobles were pursuing her. There were also rumors that she was actually a spy who took orders from the Pope himself.
The relationship between Maria and Natalia's mother, Grand Duchess Yelena Pavlovna from Württemberg, is also very good. Earlier she also acted as an intermediary between the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess and the Pope of Rome - —Natalia’s father has been stationed in Warsaw for a long time and has to deal with a group of Polish nobles who believe in Catholicism. Sometimes the Pope needs to come out and say a few words.
Of course, although the Pope of Rome recites Catholic scriptures, his relationship with the Orthodox Russian Czar is quite strong, because both of them extremely hate the European revolution!
He is a standard-bearer among the European reactionaries!
Pope Pius IX was driven out of Rome by the Romans because he was too reactionary during the 1848 revolution. The revolutionary storm in 1848 was forcibly suppressed by Nicholas I, the "head of the European gendarme", who sent troops.
Therefore, Pope Pius IX was quite worried about the prospect that the Russian Empire might overturn in the Ninth Russo-Turkish War.
The Tsar closed the French version of the "Major Prophecy" in his hand and asked: "Did Mary come to Petersburg with you?"
"No," Natalia said, "She had already returned to Rome and left Warsaw immediately after receiving the Pope's telegram. Before leaving, she asked me to bring a personal letter to Sasha."
The Tsar turned to look at his son.
Crown Prince Alexander nodded.
"Well," the Tsar said to his niece with a smile, "Nata, you did well. You must be very tired after traveling so far from Warsaw to Petersburg? Go and rest. You have to attend the ball tomorrow. Woolen cloth!"
"Yes, uncle."
Natalia curtsied, then moved lightly and left the Tsar's office.
As soon as his niece left, the Tsar quickly walked over and sat down behind his desk, while his Crown Prince Alexander sat down opposite his father's oversized desk.
"Sasha, what do you think?"
the tsar asked, looking at Alexander.
The latter pointed to a document that was placed in front of the Tsar at an unknown time and frowned: "Father, this is the "Secret Report on the Devil and the Qing Revolution" issued by the Governor of Eastern Siberia Muravyov three months ago. , it was sent to Petersburg ten days ago."
The Tsar frowned and said: "Oh devil, I remember there was a "Secret Report on the Discovery of Devils in the Qing Dynasty", which seemed to have been sent by Muravyov. It was like a demon descended from the sky or possessed by Jesus. It was simply It’s full of absurdity! Wait, you just said ‘Qing Revolution’?”
Nicholas I was not very interested in religious issues, so the "Secret Report on the Discovery of Devils in the Qing Dynasty" written by Tupolev "Lama" was directly thrown into the wastebasket by the Tsar after it was sent to Petersburg.
Moreover, Nicholas I also gave an order to his confidential department not to send such ridiculous reports in the future. The Tsar's time is very precious!
But Nicholas I was extremely sensitive to the word "revolution"!
Alexander also frowned slightly: "Yes, it's the demons of the Qing Dynasty who are making revolution! So the people in the confidential department handed me this report and a copy of "On Revolution" from the Qing Dynasty."
Reports about monsters should go directly to the wastebasket, and matters about revolution should be reported to the Tsar immediately.
So what should be done about reports about monsters making revolution?
None of the ministers in the Tsar's Secret Service knew how to deal with it, so they had to give it to the Crown Prince Alexander to deal with.
"On Revolution? Where is it?" the tsar asked quickly.
"It's also on your desk, and it has been translated into Russian." Alexander pointed to a not too thick book that was also placed on the big desk. This was actually "Against the Classics" 1, 2, and 3. A bound volume of volumes.
When translated into foreign words, wouldn't the word "anti-Jingu" mean "revolutionary theory"? It's scary at first glance, isn't it?
The Tsar immediately saw a book with the word "revolution" written on the cover on his desk, and he picked it up and read it without saying a word.
"On Revolution" did not have many words, but the tsar read very quickly, almost reading ten lines at a time. He finished "On Revolution" in a while, and then he picked up "Secret Report on the Devil and the Qing Revolution" and started reading. I finished reading it very quickly.
After reading it, Nicholas I's face became a little gloomy: "It seems that I underestimated the mobs in the Qing Dynasty who used the name of God to cause rebellion. Some of their leaders should be from Europe and participated in the 1848 Revolution. They have mastered some of the latest science and technology, and are well aware of what is happening in Europe. I think they must have maintained close contacts with European revolutionaries!"
"Father, do you mean that the Great Prophecy is a forgery?" Alexander seemed to have some reservations about this conclusion.
"Well," the tsar hesitated, "this still needs investigation! But one thing is certain, that is, what happened in the Qing Dynasty was a revolution disguised as religion! The revolution in the Qing Dynasty poses a major threat to our Russia. Once the revolution wins in the Qing Dynasty, , then the revolutionary trend in Europe will rise again! There may even be a similar revolution disguised as Christianity!
There are still a lot of superstitious people in Russia! If these people are used by revolutionaries, Russia will be in big trouble!"
The Tsar's tone became increasingly grim: "So the devil of the Qing Dynasty must be eliminated, and the revolution must be suppressed!"
Chapter completed!
