When Yemelyan Pugachev and several of his accomplices were publicly executed in Moscow in early 1775, from Siberia to Moscow, the originally seemingly stable ruling order of the Tsarist Empire did not recover for a long time.
The "Pugachev Uprising" that occurred from 1773 to 1775 was triggered by the Ural Cossacks disobeying orders in 1771 to intercept the Turghuts returning eastward, which triggered a series of riots. In essence, it was
The struggle between the plebeian and aristocratic factions of the Ural Cossacks.
In general, the Cossacks just don't want Tsarist Russia to interfere in their tribal affairs and destroy the previous tribal political system with relatively equal power. The most important point is that the poor Cossacks neither want to perform military service nor pay taxes!
In fact, the root cause of Pugachev's riots was not this man's appeal. It was actually the Ural Cossacks who planned and led the entire riot. Even the name "Peter III" was a Ural Cossack conspirator who helped him.
Come up with it.
After his arrest, Pugachev once complained: "I never wanted to be a czar, I was coerced into taking the position by them!"
For the hundreds of Cossack prisoners present today, they themselves or their fathers were participants in that rebellion, otherwise they would not have been exiled to the east of the Ural Mountains and then recruited to the battlefield by Rumyantsev
.So when Mikhail revealed Ivan’s true identity without shame, the prisoners immediately recalled the large-scale riot that swept from the North Caucasus to the Murom Forest more than ten years ago.
But many illiterate Cossacks did not know Pugachev's true identity, because the rebels who knew this were executed.
"Are you Pugachev's son? But I heard that his son is dead."
"I heard that man is the Tsar, so you are the Tsar's son?"
Krutogrove, who had changed his name to Alexander Ivanovich, smiled and said: "Haha, am I not standing here properly? Those are all rumors spread by shameless officials."
"Hey man, can you tell us how you escaped?"
Krutogrove then sat down and told everyone a carefully compiled story. This was a version that had been repeatedly tested by Wu Siyu, Zhao Xin and other Cossacks who had taken refuge, and it had been memorized by Krutogrove for a long time.
After taking it to heart, he told it repeatedly to the converts in Yaksa, until eventually even he himself couldn't tell the truth from the lie.
It is said that after the Pugachev Rebellion began in 1773, Pugachev, who called himself "Peter III", claimed that Catherine II was his prodigal wife; at the same time, he said that he was going to become a monk and let his son Paul inherit the throne.
throne.
This move made the empress furious. While she stepped up her efforts to refute the rumors, she also sent people to search for Pugachev's wife Sofia. After catching his wife and children, Catherine II ordered that every time she went to the market, she would be killed.
Sophia was released and asked to tell everyone that the rebel leader was actually her man.
In 1774, after Pugachev conquered Kazan, he found his wife and children in the city prison. But at this time, because he had married a new "queen", Pugachev said that Sofia and the children were his.
Since he met the family of a friend, it was his responsibility to take care of them. Until Pugachev was arrested, Sophia and her children had been following the rebels.
After Pugachev was arrested, Catherine II asked the "Queen" Ustinia to appear in the market, saying that he was not "Peter III" at all, but an ordinary Cossack.
However, it should not be the case. After Catherine II executed Pugachev, she strictly ordered the people and officials not to mention this peace incident again, and renamed the Yayk River "Ural River".
The Yaik Cossacks also became the Ural Cossacks. Pugachev's two wives and children were secretly imprisoned and never appeared in front of the world again. Until the reign of Alexander I decades later,
This matter was gradually talked about again.
The Queen's original intention was to completely put an end to that terrible memory. However, after reading a large amount of historical data preserved in another time and space, Zhao Xin keenly caught the loophole. The reason why he chose Kruto Grove
Because he was selected from tens of thousands of prisoners by the Yaksa Prisoner of War Management Department with a portrait of Peter III.
He insisted to Krutogrove that there is no doubt that Pugachev is Peter III. As for yourself, you are the child of Peter III and his lover. The Grand Duke Paul should be your half-father.
Mother's brother.
As we all know, the relationship between Peter III and Catherine II was not good. They did not share the same bed on the wedding day, and each had a lover. Of course, the queen had many lovers, which made Peter III himself
As expected, one of the most famous lovers of Peter III was Elizaveta Romanovna, the second daughter of Count Vorontsov, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army at the time.
Zhao Xin fabricated another lover for Peter III, Count Vorontsov's youngest daughter Maria Romanovna.
How dare you make such nonsense! Krutogrove was frightened half to death after hearing this story for the first time. However, because he didn’t know much about Pugachev’s life experience, he gradually accepted his new identity.
Later, I also began to feel proud.
So awesome! The son of the Tsar and the Countess!
However, Zhao Xin did not know at this time that the identity he forged for Krutogrove would cause chaos in the Swedish royal family more than ten years later. When King Gustaf IV was placed under house arrest, the parliament
Some people actually suggested that Krutogrove's son should return to inherit the throne, which annoyed Crown Prince Karl, who had been waiting eagerly to become king.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You must know that Peter III’s full name is Carl Peter Ulrich. He is the eldest daughter of Peter I, Princess Anna Petrovna and the daughter of Holstein of Sweden.
Born to Duke In-Gotop. According to the paternal genealogy, Peter III is the grandnephew of King Karl XII of Sweden, and his descendants are fully qualified to inherit the throne of Sweden.
"So you are a descendant of the Tsar? His direct descendant?"
"How can you be considered a Cossack? I think it is inappropriate for you to do so."
"Do you want us to follow you? Uh... I think you should discuss this matter with the officers."
Krutogrove shook his head and said: "Brothers, since my father sought justice for the Cossacks during his lifetime, then I am a Cossack! Besides, can those officers and nobles represent the Cossacks? They have betrayed this group long ago, and the poor
The Cossacks should establish their own organization and seek their own justice."
In the next few days, the same dinner party was held every day. Wu Siyu told Krutogrove that brainwashing must be continuous and must not give others time to think.
Starting from the third day, Krutogrove told the prisoners after the dinner party "The History of the Don Cossacks" which was deliberately adapted by "someone". It told the glorious deeds of Peter III (Pugachev),
The Free Life of the Cossacks tells the story of Stepan, Razin and Kondrati. At the same time, it tells the miserable and impoverished life of the Cossacks in popular language, satirizes the system and governance methods of Tsarist Russia, and mocks the Tsarist government.
and the Cossack nobles who served as the empire's hired bodyguards.
During this period, Mikhail and his other subordinates silently observed the expressions of the prisoners and wrote them down one by one in a small book. Gradually, when the captured Russian battalion commanders, regimental commanders and generals
After the last group arrived at the prisoner camp, the first news that slipped into their ears was that "the prince has come to rescue the Cossacks."
On September 15, 1790, Zhao Xin led his army to conquer Nizhny Uginsk, an important town in Eastern Siberia. He had been following Rumyantsev, keeping a distance, but still pursuing him.
At this time, the Third Regiment and the Ainu Battalion led by Huji on the northern front had already passed the confluence of the Angara River and the Tasheeva River, and could enter the Yenisei River in another day's walk. Fortunately, the Northern Navy's river fleet
They were all equipped with diesel motors, making them run very fast; if they were sailing against the current with only human power and sails, they would probably have only made it half way.
Now the next attack target of the Northern Navy on the southern route is Krasnoyarsk, which is located at the junction of the Central Siberian Plateau and the Sayan Mountains. The Vetra Mongols called it the "City on the Red Coast", so Tsarist Russia was the first to attack it.
The prison built was also known as the "Novokaczynski Red Prison". The main purpose of this prison was to defend the main settlements in Siberia from the south, and to hold captive Yenisei Kyrgyz people - in fact, the Wet
Part of the La Mongols.
When Bering launched his expedition, he also used this place as a starting point to collect supplies and equipment.
If such a meaningful place name is not taken down, we will be sorry for the red flag of the Northern Navy. Besides, the soil is red, indicating that the local area is rich in iron ore.
In addition, from Krasnoyarsk, follow the Yenisey River to the south for more than 300 kilometers, turn into the Amuha River at Abakan, cross the Sayan Mountains and walk for several hundred miles to the Sanyinnoyan of Outer Mongolia.
The border town of Abaza.
It is said that although the "Brenschi Boundary Treaty" signed by the Qing Dynasty and Russia in 1727 delineated the Sino-Russian border east of Sabinda Baha, the Tsarist Russian Empire moved to the Kemuzik River Basin and Tangnuuliang to the east.
The open expansion of the maritime area has been curbed, but the Sino-Russian border west of "Sabineda Bahan" has not been demarcated.
Although that area has been marked by the Manchus as their own territory, in fact, as early as 1709, Tsarist Russia had already located at the intersection of the Altan River and the Hatun River to the west of the Tangnu Uliang Sea - that is, the belt
Fort Bisk was built within the territory of the Qing Dynasty as a base for expansion to the Altanur Ulianghai and Tangnu Ulianghai. After the mid-eighteenth century, Tsarist Russia continued to secretly expand to the Hatun River and Altan
The advance upstream of the river pushed the local indigenous residents into the deep zone between the two rivers.
In another time and space in history, the "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary" and the other three demarcation protocols were signed based on this fact of aggression. Tsarist Russia thus ceded 440,000 square kilometers of northwest China.
territory.
After the Battle of Usolye, Zhao Xin had another personal hobby. He wrote all the unequal treaties signed between the Manchu and Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia in another time and space on a frequently used wood bookmark.
Always remind yourself that you must never be merciful to Tsarist Russia.
On September 20, after five days of long journey, the leading troops on the southern front broke out of the pass at the northern foot of Sayan Mountains and appeared two kilometers east of the "City on the Red Coast". The red military flag flying high on the hill immediately
He was discovered by the watchtower set up in the east of the city. As the bells in the church rang rapidly, the entire city of Krasnoyarsk immediately entered into general mobilization.
Since Rumyantsev arrived two days earlier than the Northern Navy, the local soldiers and civilians had already opened the armory, taken out the ordnance and ammunition, and built "strong barricades" in the city, preparing to resist to the death; even the Tsarist Russian Empire's
The first county library was also turned into a military fortress.
Unlike small towns like Nizhniyutinsk, Krasnoyarsk, which is the industrial center of Kolivan Province, is quite large. The main local residents have long been soldiers and their families, but due to the Rumyantsev expedition
Irkutsk took away part of the army, leaving the city's garrison with only more than 500 troops. Even including Rumyantsev's remaining troops, there were only more than 5,000 troops.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Rumyantsev fell ill on the day he led his army to arrive here. Days of running around and cold rain made the old marshal develop a high fever. The monks in the church in the city
After diagnosis, it was decided to use bloodletting for treatment. As a result, the poor old man became increasingly unconscious after a full cup of blood was drained, which made the local mayor and council members anxious.
At this time, the leading troops of the Northern Navy did not launch an attack. Instead, they built fortifications on a hill two kilometers away from the city and waited for the arrival of the large troops.
The problem is that the local residents do not believe in evil and do not believe the advice of the Russian soldiers who escaped. After the mayor and city council members learned that there were only more than 200 enemies outside the city, they encouraged the local garrison major to lead the army to attack.
, trying to teach the Chinese people who came from afar a painful lesson.
However, only twenty minutes after the war started, the major was killed on the spot. Immediately afterwards, when the North Korean navy's mortars blew several cannons and howitzers into scrap metal, the attacking troops who suffered heavy casualties panicked.
He fled back to the city and never dared to go out to provoke again.
Two days later, Zhao Xin led his army to arrive. After careful reconnaissance with drones, he found that fortifications had been built everywhere in the city. He knew that if he directly ordered the infantry to attack, he would probably fall into a quagmire of street fighting. So Zhao Xin asked his men to use
A dozen simple artillery positions were constructed in one day, and then a continuous artillery bombardment was launched against Krasnoyarsk.
This time, the Russians in the city were in dire straits. A fire seventeen years ago turned the entire city into ashes, so the buildings in the city are all newly built. The shells turned the stone and wood buildings into ruins.
And the gravel flying everywhere has become a murderous weapon.
When the Russian officers and soldiers who fled here with Rumyantsev saw this situation, they knew they could not cope with it. Some simply threw away their weapons and put on civilian clothes; while others went to Tobolsk to bring reinforcements.
For this reason, he continued on his escape journey.
As for Rumyantsev, he was tortured by those monks and doctors until he could barely breathe.
