Make France Great Again
Chapter 258 Imperial Village
The international environment affects the domestic environment, and the domestic environment also causes the international environment to undergo turbulent changes, especially for a country like France that plays an important role in the European continent. The words and deeds of President Jérôme Bonaparte directly affect changing diplomacy across the continent.
While France is in a turmoil over the issue of constitutional amendments, a drama of chaos and chaos is taking place in Germany.
The German region, which has never calmed down since the February Revolution, is finally about to face the final battle. Prussia and Austria, the fateful compatriots in the German region, are fighting for the dominance of Germany.
The source of all this is closely related to Jerome Bonaparte.
After the suppression of the Hungarian revolution, when the ambitious Schwarzenberg began to plan to return to Germany, the Kingdom of Prussia also coincidentally established the Three Kings Alliance to resist the Austrian Empire's ambition to regain dominance in Germany.
However, Prussia was not very ambitious at that time. King Frederick William IV of Prussia only wanted to unite with Austria to carve up North and South Germany using Saxony as the boundary.
For a Protestant country like Prussia, an excessive Catholic population would lead to a severe dilution of the Protestant population ratio, thus triggering a sectarian crisis. Separation of the North and the South was the solution that was most beneficial to Prussia.
While Schwarzenberg pretended to agree with Prussia's plan for the separation of northern and southern Prussia and the Three Kings Alliance, he encouraged Prussia to suppress the revolution in the German region.
Prussia agreed to Austria's plan, the Frankfurt Confederation, which had supported Prussia as the German emperor, was disbanded, and the revolution led by the middle class was suppressed. Prussia used bayonets and blood donations to make the Germans completely lose hope in it.
Prussia, which lost the support of its middle class and the National Guard, could only rely on the Alliance of Three Kings to survive.
However, the Kingdom of Prussia did not know that Schwarzenberg was secretly wooing German princes and "foreign forces" while Prussia was suppressing revolutions in German regions.
The German princes were persuaded by Austria to use the fear of revolution, and Jerome Bonaparte of the French Republic was "deceived" by Schwarzenberg in exchange for part of the Rhineland territory. (Schwarzenberg believed that he had successfully deceived Jerome. .Bonaparte) Nicholas I of the Russian Empire also acquiesced. [Content of Chapter 148]
After currying favor with the great powers and the German vassal states, Schwarzenberg began to stir up trouble. He used the principality of Hesse and Kassel as an excuse to invade Prussia on a small scale. In order to maintain its authority, Prussia had to protect Hesse and Kassel. The name of the Marquis State Council also adds chips. [At that time, Prussia was dominated by liberals]
Prussia's move of support completely angered the German princes. After a year-long confrontation between the two sides and spending nearly ten million francs (converted), Schwarzenberg finally invited all the other parties except Prussia on September 2, 1850. The foreign German princes went to Frankfurt to attend the German Confederation Congress.
Almost all German princely states participated in the Confederation Congress.
On October 15, after Austrian Prime Minister Schwarzenberg signed a military alliance with Bavaria and Württemberg [Chapter 252], he rushed to Tsarskoye Selo outside the Russian Empire to meet with Nicholas I.
At this time, Schwarzenberg, who was sitting in the carriage, did not know that the storm caused by Jerome Bonaparte was heading towards him.
…
More than 20 kilometers south of St. Petersburg, there is a residence. This residence was a summer villa built by Peter the Great in 1717 for his wife, Empress Catherine of the Russian Empire.
The villa took seven years to be built in 1824. The two-story mansion with 16 main rooms and the surrounding gardens was completed and opened. To emphasize the significance of the new royal territory, it was soon called Tsarskoe Selo.
In 1741, after Elizabeth Petrovna, the daughter of Peter the Great, ascended the throne, she also took a fancy to this place that carries memories. Under her authorization, Petersburg's best architects designed this slightly complex building. The simple manor was expanded.
With the foundation laid by two generations of tsars, subsequent generations of tsars completely turned this place into a place for daily settlement and rest. In order to create a beautiful environment, the tsars of all generations did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite designers to design around Tsarskoe Selo. A garden rises up around Imperial Village. Tall shrubs and lush green lawns make the entire palace dotted with greenery. The changing seasons add a touch of beauty to Imperial Village.
However, all beauty is always an embellishment of power. As the residence of the Tsar, Tsarskoe Selo had a more important role, which was to exercise the power of the entire Tsarist Russia.
The developed transportation network allowed visitors to move faster, and the nobles living around Tsarskoe Selo could better assist the tsar in governing government affairs. It can be said that the entire Tsarskoye Selo was the nerve center of this huge empire.
This country with a vast territory and tens of millions of people was in its heyday. Tsar Nicholas I and his soldiers and ministers ruled the country with a ruthless iron fist, using bayonets to attack large and small areas in the empire. nationality.
Any nation that is unwilling to surrender to the empire will be taught a lesson by the bayonet. It can be said that no one in the direction pointed by the bayonet will not be frightened.
However, who could have known that this huge empire with a vast territory and a population of tens of millions would become the laughing stock of the entire Europe in a few years.
Who could have known that a few decades later, the two names of Empire and Tsarskoye Selo, which had run through the Romanov dynasty, would become dust in history along with the Romanov dynasty.
After the February Revolution, the Romanov dynasty fell. After the October Revolution, Tsarskoye Selo was renamed Pushkin City.
The Valley/span royal family and Tsarskoye Selo turned into ashes under historical circumstances. The name of the poet who was once monitored by the Romanov dynasty for a long time will replace the Romanov dynasty and become the eternal memory of the Russian nation.
As long as Russia still exists, the name Pushkin will always remain in the memory of the people.
Of course, in this era, the Tsar's reputation was far greater than that of Pushkin, and the Tsar living here would also not know his destined fate. Now Nicholas I is wearing a traditional black-breasted military uniform of the Russian Empire, and he is concentrating on the map of Europe on his desk.
The map was densely packed with arrows and troop numbers written in Russian. Nicholas I slowly moved his hand southwest from St. Petersburg, and soon moved to the Balkans.
Constantinople fell under Nicholas I's finger as he moved further south.
"Constantine..." Nicholas I murmured, tapping Constantinople on the map with his finger. His expression was particularly solemn and had a sense of sanctity.
While Nicholas I was mumbling to himself, the knock on the door of the palace attendant came from outside the room.
"Who?" Nicholas I asked the attendant outside the door in a majestic voice
"Your Majesty, Minister Neserrode has arrived at Tsarskoye Selo! He said he has something important and wants to see you!" The palace attendant outside the door said to Nicholas I respectfully.
"Take him to the Amber Room!" Nicholas I replied.
The palace attendant took the order and left, and met Karl Neserrode, the Foreign Minister of the Russian Empire, at the Catherine Palace.
From 1822 to 1850, for nearly twenty-eight years, the Russian court changed countless ministers and chairpersons.
But the foreign minister has always been firmly at the helm of Russian diplomacy.
In addition to the trust of Emperor Nicholas I of the Russian Empire, Neserrodie himself also possesses considerable abilities (here, it means that Neserrodie's reactionary behavior is even worse than that of Alexander I.).
[Karl-robert-nesselrode, karl-robert-nesselrode (1780-1862), count, diplomat. Germanic origin, attended high school in Berlin, joined the Russian Navy at the age of 16, later transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia during the period of Tsar Nicholas I (1822-1856)]
The palace attendant humbly said to the veteran Foreign Minister Karl Neserrode: "Your Majesty will meet you in the Amber Room!"
"Thank you very much!" Karl Neserrode expressed his gratitude slightly to the palace attendant.
Under the leadership of the palace attendants, Karl Neserrode entered the Amber Room of the Catherine Palace. The walls of the Amber Room were full of amber, including blood amber, gold amber, large and small, and some amber. Some are put together into picture frames, some are glued to the wall, shining from lemon yellow to golden red, the brilliance is breathtaking, and the whole room seems to be shrouded in gold.
In the center of this golden shroud, Emperor Nicholas I of the Russian Empire was sitting majestically on his throne, looking at the palace attendants and Karl Nesserrode like a mortal in god's clothing.
The longer Nicholas I stayed on the throne, the more he liked to use this method to declare his majesty and sanctity to the nobles.
His long term in power made him extremely familiar with the awe-inspiring and unethical character of the entire Russian nation. From serfs to nobles, they only loved the tyrant who kicked their butts with spurs.
Nicholas I believed that if one day he became weak, the nobles would kill him without hesitation, and then put his son Alexander II on the throne.
The coup has become a "curse" for the country.
However, Nicholas I's use of the sanctity of the Amber Hall's blessing can only frighten people who do not know Nicholas I. For Karl Nesserrodie, who served Nicholas I for more than 20 years, Nicholas This approach has long been outdated.
In order to coax this moody emperor, Karl Neserrodie could only look at Nicholas I in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
Karl Neserrodie's expression brought a smile to Nicholas I's face.
"Minister Neserrode, I wonder what news you have brought me?"
