Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Soloviev did not expect that Louisa would have such courage to confront the Queen. Now she was the Queen Mother Maria. Her body was light, but she did things that many men could not do.

Even Constantine admired his sister-in-law. Usually, she seemed to be a crime if she breathed too much in front of the Queen Mother. However, today, with just a few simple words, she completely wiped out the Queen Mother's opportunity to learn from the advanced experience of the four queens.

When Alexander rode over, the soldiers also knew the general situation. That night, their beloved emperor was murdered by treacherous officials, and the Crown Prince and His Highness Constantine urgently mobilized troops to quell the rebellion. At this time, the Queen came to do this, just imitating the behavior of the two great queens in the past to call on the guards, which was a bit too funny.

As for being choked back by the daughter-in-law, it was somewhat funny, especially the weak Crown Princess. She looked really good. This was the unanimous opinion in Petersburg, and everyone agreed that she was not in good health.

The young officers in the square, the married ones envied Count Tickenhausen, and everyone envied Major Solovyov, who could let Her Royal Highness lean on their arms.

"Your Highness, the situation has calmed down. Do you have any instructions?"

"Wait for Alexander first, wait for him to come among the soldiers."

When Alexander appeared among the soldiers on a white horse and wearing a gorgeous military uniform, some people began to shout.

"Hurrah, Alexander, our little father the Tsar! Hurrah! Hurrah!"

It must be said that Alexander's face was too good. He had always been a dragon among men and was destined to become the Tsar. He rode his horse into the crowd and saw the Queen Mother and Louisa surrounded in the crowd.

Louisa had actually become the queen, but she had not yet realized this. But after hearing the cheers of the soldiers, she was relieved and leaned on Solovyov's shoulder.

For the major, this was very torturous. It was true that he liked Louisa, but he didn't want to die, especially when Alexander rode straight over.

Of course, what Alexander was more concerned about at this time was that the soldiers cheered unanimously and supported him to become the new emperor of all Russia.

This is a natural actor, destined to be born for big scenes. If there is a camera, his sense of camera is probably good.

Solovyov had never noticed before that Alexander was actually a "five-star general", but he was handsome and didn't hold a corncob pipe.

As for when he got off the horse, he also whispered a few words to Louisa.

"Lisa, my queen, my muse, if you can still insist, let's ride together to accept the cheers of the soldiers, okay?"

His sweet words have always been lethal, and Louisa did not resist. She was helped onto the horse by Alexander, and the couple accepted the cheers of the soldiers on the horse together.

Although Alexander was a man of mercy, he also knew that his mother's drama today was finally settled with a few words from this weak wife.

In this way, he also had to make a statement, and he couldn't let people have any other ideas. He also quite disregarded the "dignity" of the royal family, hugged Louisa tightly, and kissed her.

Although some soldiers whistled and cheered regardless of the occasion, there were more people shouting "Ura" afterwards.

However, Alexander knew that today was not the time for the couple to ride horses and gallop on the Field of Mars together. Now he had to deal with the regicides who were still in the Mikhailovsky Palace.

He himself did not expect that Count von Palen was so bold as to dare to kill the king, which made him unacceptable.

Although the Zubov brothers and General Bennigsen released the queen mother, he did not intend to end it so simply.

However, he still had to distinguish the occasion when he wanted to do it, so he cast his eyes on the entourage and the generals.

This was asking what to do, but Solovyov was quite good at giving a way out at this time.

In addition, he just helped Alexander help Louisa onto the horse and hugged Louisa for a long time, which was really exciting.

Being close means getting benefits. He was the first to kneel on one knee to express his loyalty. As an aide-de-camp and the actual commander of the current Putin regiment, he did pick up a big leak.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to be the first to pledge my loyalty to you."

"Of course, Solovyov, you have made three great achievements today, but the problem now is that we have to quickly suppress the rebellion."

"Your Majesty, I see that there are many people in the rebel army who are coerced, and it seems that many people are also deceived. In this case, please allow me to command the Guards Artillery Battalion, and I will speak to the people in the palace."

"Okay, Major Solovyov, you are now the commander of the Guards Artillery Battalion, and also my aide-de-camp."

Although he has military power, his rank has not changed at all. After all, he came to Alexander on Paul's orders, and it has only been a month. The three great achievements are just lip service. What will happen in the future is another matter.

Working for this actor is not as good as chatting with Louisa to make her happy, and there are many benefits when being a guard for Paul.

But with the Guards Artillery Battalion in control, it is clear what to do at this time.

"General Bennigsen, since you are all here, please go back and tell the brothers in the palace. If they surrender to the new emperor now, there is still a good chance of leniency. Otherwise, they are rebels, wait for me to use the unicorn cannons of the Guards Artillery Battalion to blow them up one by one!"

What he said made Bennigsen tremble a little. After all, it was the first time he saw a tough guy who dared to threaten to fire artillery shells into the palace.

However, in order to end this matter and let the unlucky guy who was fooled inside be forgiven, Bennigsen turned back and found Count Zubov.

The soldiers of the four Guards Battalions gathered in the palace. After Alexander was clearly supported as the new emperor outside, the positions of Count von Palen and the Zubov brothers were very subtle.

However, Count Zubov was in a better state of mind. Although his eldest brother was reckless and fought with the late emperor, he was the son-in-law of the Grand Marshal. Alexander was usually very good to the Grand Marshal's family and would not necessarily involve him.

Of the other two younger brothers, one was not involved in the matter at all, and the other was disabled in the war and did not participate in tonight's action. If he investigated further, he would not be punished.

The trouble was on him, but he had no worries. After all, he had been serving the Queen for the past few years. As long as he did not involve his family too much, it would be fine.

As for the sister who was Lord Whitworth's mistress, as long as she ran to London, there would be no problem. He also heard some rumors that the support funds that the British suspected of giving them were hidden by his sister. In this day and age, people dare to accept any black money.

At this time, he was inclined to surrender. No matter how you look at it, it was not a big deal for him.

When he courted Louisa, a 14-year-old girl, in the palace, he praised her for her beauty, like an angel, and it was also a farce in the court. The empress did not pursue the matter afterwards, after all, nothing happened.

His idea was not wrong. After all, even if Alexander and his wife knew about his rebellion, they would probably not do anything to him. They just needed to send him to a distant place and not cause trouble in front of others.

This time he took the dominant position again, but several officers who took direct action did not agree at this time. After all, they directly murdered the Tsar. The crime of regicide would probably make them hanged directly on the Mars Square.

They ran to Count von Palen, who also had Lieutenant General Tarejin, Aide-General Major General Kutuzov and others.

"This Zubov, he must have used sweet words to win the favor of the new emperor! He will offer us to him and sell us out, and then forgive his sins!"

"Governor, we all came here because of your call. Now our hands are stained with blood, you can't just leave it alone!"

"I know, but where to run? The queen has also been sent out, and there is not even a hostage in hand. What should we do?"

"I think, at this time, there is only surrender, there is no other way."

After saying that, Major General Kutuzov also left. He was not at the scene of the regicide. Instead, he felt that he was fooled by Count von Palen and left the room on his own.

"As for me."

"General Tarejin, don't even think about getting the new emperor to forgive you. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to incite so many officers to defect in the Guards; without you, we wouldn't have been able to figure out the defense configuration of the Mikhailovsky Palace; without you, we wouldn't have been able to easily replace the 1st Battalion on duty; without you, the dead Paul wouldn't have relaxed his vigilance and given us this opportunity. Now, let's run away and seek asylum at the British Embassy!"

Others would never have thought of this idea. He actually wanted to escape, and he wanted to go to the British.

If this worked, Solovyov would have to thank him for finding the mastermind behind the scenes, which would make it easier for the Diplomatic Academy to have a good talk with the British.

But no one knew he was going to run away, and the road to Prince Potemkin's Tavrid Palace in the east had never been blocked. When Prince Bagration deployed his troops, he mainly guarded the Winter Palace and the Marble Palace, and used the guards cavalry to block the Nevsky Avenue and the two canal embankments. He did not consider other directions, and then he suppressed the rebellion.

"Or, after we run away, we can call back and fight to the death!"

Some brainless people, such as Yashvili, who strangled Paul with his own hands, advocated this. At worst, they would die.

Then, several of the most violent guys at the time, as well as several of Count von Paalen's confidants, also advocated doing this!

"We are waiting to die here. If we fight, we may have a chance! Besides, all the nobles have been hurt by Paul. Even the crown prince talks about abolishing serfdom, reforming the government, and formulating a constitution every day. He also said that he wants to "give the people a constitution, and then he will take his wife to live in seclusion on the banks of the Rhine." There are many people who say such things in Russia who oppose him. Why don't we just run away, find like-minded people, and fight Alexander!"

"What about after that?"

"I haven't thought about it!"

But there is one thing they should not have noticed, that is, there is no time now. The Zubov brothers and General Bennigsen downstairs are gathering the two battalions of the Semenovsky Regiment that joined later, and they are lining up to surrender.

For those upstairs, there is no such benefit.

Lieutenant General Tarezin is still the head of the Guards Regiment, although there is only one and a half battalions in fact. Just now, he saw the Crown Princess come in and take away the Queen, and many of them ran away with her. He has reached the end of his rope, and the remaining people are also somewhat shaken. As long as an officer comes in and yells, they may immediately turn against him.

"I think we should run now!"

In the end, this makeshift team made a hasty decision, but if they want to run, where are they going to run?

In the British Embassy, ​​Lord Whitworth was not quite clear about what happened outside, but he knew it was a mess.

With the Guards Cavalry taking to the streets, and the mobilization of troops in Petersburg, and even two unicorn cannons passing by the door of the embassy, ​​he knew that what he expected should have happened tonight.

But he didn't know how the progress was. Because the coup plotters kept the death a secret and the city was under martial law, Lord Whitworth could not learn anything.

It was a strange story that a coup did not even fire a single shot.

As for the entire battalion of the Guards Artillery, and even the artillery of the 1st Artillery Regiment, they also began to mobilize, which made the lord even more curious. However, the Guards Cavalry blocked all the embassies of various countries, so it was in vain.

At this time, Count von Palen escaped from the east, which really fooled everyone, just like he had concealed his plan before, and only showed the dagger to murder Tsar Paul at the end.

Solovyov was not a professional artilleryman, but he knew one thing: the closer the gun was, the more accurate it was, and the more fierce it was with the bayonet on the cannon!

As for such pressure, there were also the Guards Chasseur Regiment covering on both sides, even if the Guards inside wanted to resist, it would be useless.

If Napoleon knew, he would have to praise him for this good arrangement, especially the artillery was lined up on the Champ de Mars. First, it was a threat, and if the enemy's attitude was loosened, then everyone would be happy.

If the rebels resisted, they would call in all the cannons that could be transported from Petersburg, and they would not blame the shells for not having eyes.

And now Solovyov was still asking the artillery to shout into the palace to disintegrate the morale of the rebels.

"Brothers, don't fire, we surrender!"

This was the effect they wanted. General Bennigsen and the Zubov brothers led the soldiers inside to surrender, but they did not see Count von Palen and others.
