It took only more than four months for the war between China and Russia, but in these four months, most of Russia's wealth was consumed. Coupled with large-scale conscription, Russia's industry and agriculture were greatly affected.
.Especially the influence of agriculture has caused great turmoil in Russia. Coupled with the promotion of the Social and National Labor Party, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in Russia.
After the outbreak of the war, agricultural production was seriously affected. The population who were able to work in the army reached 3 million, mainly from rural areas. According to surveys, in 50 provinces in Europe and Russia, the rural male labor force decreased by 15%. The cultivated land area decreased by 500.
Tens of millions of Russian acres. The grain harvest decreased by 1/4. The difficulty of transportation also interrupted the connection between urban and rural areas. In the market, food, meat, sugar and other agricultural products are in short supply. Petrograd can only obtain 14 of the planned supply of grain.
%. Landlords, rich peasants and businessmen have a large number of daily necessities, hoarding goods, and speculating. Food often disappears from stores and is sold at high prices on the black market. The price of food is 1.5 to 3 times higher than before the war, and meat and sugar are particularly expensive.
The vast majority of people are on the line of hunger, complaining and have to fight.
Russia's main grain-producing areas are mainly in Ukraine in the south and the Don River. However, these areas have severe drought this year, and many places have no grains. Farmers who have no food and cannot survive can only take risks.
There is another way.
Especially when the Russian army was defeated in Siberia. Marshal Gulko led hundreds of thousands of Russian troops to retreat rampantly, it was interpreted as Russia was about to lose and China was about to invade Russia's European region. This made Russian society even more turbulent.
Some people with bad intentions also took the opportunity to spread rumors and make trouble, trying to become famous in this turbulent era, etc. In addition, in order to raise funds for war, Tsar Nicholas II taxed the bourgeoisie, rich peasants and nobles, which made these
Rich and powerful people were also very dissatisfied with Russian society. When all these contradictions broke out, they immediately had a huge impact in Russia.
On August 20, 1899, when news of the Russian defeat in the Siberian plain spread throughout the world. The peasants in Prudovi, located in southern Russia, in the Don River area, broke out. Hundreds of peasants attacked the local city hall.
The weapons were snatched from the police and occupied the entire city. After that, the farmers who revolted opened the government's grain warehouse and sent all the food to the farmers who had no food. The rich peasants and the bourgeoisie were also affected.
The rebels forcibly confiscated their property and distributed it. This immediately caused a chain reaction. Countless peasants who could not survive joined the group. Within just a few days, the rebel army expanded to tens of thousands. At the same time,
In the entire southern part of Russia, countless peasants followed suit, and the uprising had swept across the entire southern part of Russia.
Because of the unfavorable war on the front line, Russia dispatched most of the troops deployed in various places, leaving less than 100,000 troops in the southern part of Russia. These Russian troops were unable to suppress as many as hundreds of rebellions in hundreds of places.
.As time passed, more and more insurrections were caused, and the entire southern part of Russia had become corrupt. In addition, the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party also took the opportunity to join the group and encouraged workers to join the uprising. For a moment, the entire southern part of Russia fell into chaos.
.
When the uprising broke out, Tsar Nicholas II received a report, but he didn't care. Because in Russia, such uprisings broke out a lot every year. However, they would be suppressed soon and could not be defeated.
It was a big storm. However, this time he miscalculated. In just a week, the entire southern part of Russia was no longer under his control. At this time, he panicked and hurriedly summoned the army to suppress it. However,
The emptiness of troops made the Russian army's suppression very lacking, and it was impossible to suppress the uprisings one after another, and even some big cities fell one after another.
"God! Why is this happening? What do those mobs want to do? Do they want to overthrow the Romanov dynasty?" Tsar Nicholas II roared in the Kremlin. Fortunately, Moscow has always been Russia.
In key defense areas, 100,000 elite troops are deployed here all year round. In this case, Moscow is still worthy of it.
"Your Majesty, now the entire south is decayed. Those thugs attacked government agencies, massacred nobles and rich people, and robbed their property, which had an extremely serious impact on society. I beg your Majesty to send troops to suppress it immediately, otherwise it would cause a slaughter on Russia.
Serious impact!” Prime Minister Sergei Witt suggested.
"Your Excellency, it's not that we don't want to send troops to suppress it, but that we have no troops to send! Apart from the troops stationed in various places, the Army Department now has only 100,000 troops around Moscow. But these troops cannot be easily mobilized,
If there is a rebellion around Moscow, it will be troublesome!" said Army Secretary Alexey Nikolaevich Kuropatkin.
"Where is the newly recruited army? Didn't the Army recruit an army of millions of people? Now is the time to come in handy!" asked Home Secretary Viacheslav Plevi.
"Hissergeant Previ, those recruits, whose family members are only in their family, will not even fire guns after less than a month. In addition, due to the lack of weapons, only one-fifth of these troops are equipped with rifles, and the others
, they were still holding sticks! Moreover, because of the long-term arrears of military pay, these troops were very dissatisfied with the empire. If they were asked to suppress the rebellion, they might join the rebels!"
Army Secretary Alexei Nikolaevich Kuropatkin said.
Tsar Nicholas II's face was gloomy and a little scary. He never expected that Russia would be like this now. His originally thought that the stable rule now seems to be completely in a turmoil!
"What should we do now? How can we suppress those rebellions?" Tsar Nicholas II said furiously.
"Your Majesty, according to the information we have obtained, most of the rebellions were formed spontaneously by the lowly peasants. However, a small number of them had to be guarded against. Some cities in the southern region led by the Social Democratic Labor Party, and these people
They are all treasons, and they are organized and are more troublesome than the rebellion of ordinary peasants!" said Pobethtchaiv, the confidant of Tsar Nicholas II and director of the General Administration of Orthodox Affairs of Russia.
"Those damn treasons should be hanged! I swear, I must hang them all!" Tsar Nicholas II roared loudly, like an angry lion.
The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party was established in Minsk in 1898. On March 13, 1898, nine representatives from the "Struggle Association" from Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev and other places and the workers' organization in western Russia were secretly held in Minsk.
This Congress. The Congress declared the establishment of the Party and issued the "Russian Social Democratic Labor Party Manifesto", which pointed out that the Russian proletariat will break free from the shackles of the ** system and continue to fight against capitalism and bourgeoisie with greater perseverance until
Until the victory of socialism, the Congress elected the Central Committee and approved the Workers' Newspaper as the party's official newspaper. After the Congress, although the Central Committee was cracked by the Tsarist police and the Workers' Newspaper was forced to cease publication, the party organizations in various places were still secretly engaged in
Vladimir Ilyic Ulyanov pointed out: "In the spring of 1898, the founding of the Party was the most outstanding and last thing that the Social Democrats did during this period."
The Social Democratic Labor Party seized the opportunity of the Russian army being defeated by the Chinese team in the war and tried to take the opportunity to overthrow the tyranny of the Tsar. Their joining made it more difficult for Russia to suppress civil strife, but this,
It is something China is willing to see.
"Your Majesty, now we have no extra troops to suppress the rebellion. The main reason is that it is the war with China. In this war, we consumed too much national strength and too many troops were dragged down.
If we can negotiate with China, we can concentrate on dealing with these rebels. With the strength of the empire, it is not a problem to eliminate these rebellions at all!" Prime Minister Sergei Witt suggested.
Tsar Nicholas II frowned. The terms of peace talks proposed by China made it difficult for him to accept. However, the serious crisis facing Russia now also made him frightened. In such internal and external troubles, Russia is likely to
He will be collapsed, and his rule is also extremely likely to be ended.
"Your Majesty, it's time to make up your mind. If you don't hurry up and wait until these rebellions last longer, you will be wiped out even more in the Southeast Asian countries!" Home Secretary Viacheslav Previ also suggested.
"Your Majesty, as long as we can negotiate with the Chinese, we can draw about 300,000 elite troops from the battlefield to invest in the fight against the rebellion. Although there are many rebels, they are no match for the regular army. The Army Department has
Be sure to suppress the rebellion in a short period of time!" Army Secretary Alexei Nikolaevich Kuropatkin also said.
"Your Majesty, I agree to negotiate with China and suppress the domestic rebellion first!" Pobetonos Tsaif, the confidant of Tsar Nicholas II and director of the Russian Orthodox Administration's General Administration of Orthodox Affairs, also agreed.
"Well, since everyone agrees, let's talk to the Chinese first! Send a telegram to Foreign Minister Izvulsky, let him contact the Chinese, strive to reach an agreement with the Chinese, and sign a truce treaty. However,
, tell him that he must protect the interests of the empire as much as possible and that the Siberian plains cannot be discarded. In addition, war reparations must be kept as low as possible, and Russia cannot afford so much money!" Tsar Nicholas II said a little decadently
