Jerome Bonaparte's first meeting with Alexander II ended in a very unpleasant manner.

Alexander II, who was escorted by Jerome Paterson, who was dutifully escorted to the vicinity of Bakhchisaray (the area occupied by the Russian Empire), bid farewell to Jerome Paterson, and praised: "Mr Paterson, you are a An excellent soldier!"

Facing the praise of Alexander II, Jerome Paterson responded politely: "Your Highness, you are overrated!"

After speaking, Jerome Paterson bowed to Alexander II again, and then turned around and left with the dragoons behind him.

Looking at Jerome Paterson's leaving back, King Alexander II sighed regretfully and said to himself, "What a pity! An upright person like him was born in a conspiracy and cunning as a representative. family!"

Later, Alexander II and his entourage arrived at the gate of the ancient city of Bakhchisaray.

Riding on a horse, he looked at the city full of broken walls standing at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help sighing.

At the beginning, it was the capital of the Crimean Khanate. Since the Russian Empire annexed the Crimean Khanate, the administrative center of Crimea has changed from Bakhchisaray to Simferopol.

The ancient city of Bakhchisaray, which recorded the glory of the Crimean Khanate, was forgotten or even abandoned.

When Alexander II and his entourage entered the ancient city, he immediately felt a sloppy atmosphere in the whole city. It was obvious that the Russian Empire and the coalition were already in a state of war. There were no fortifications built here, even on the street. There are still Tatars wandering around.

The scene in front of him made Alexander II feel a "big goose pill" mood.

So, under the leadership of the Cossack soldiers stationed here, Alexander II soon found the brigade headquarters stationed in the ancient city, and showed his identity to the brigade commander in the headquarters.

"His Royal Highness!" The brigade commander who was stationed in Bakhchisaray quickly saluted Alexander II.

"What the **** is going on here? Why can you still see the Tatars in the streets? Where are your fortifications? If the British and French troops from Sevastopol send over, what will you do?" Alexander II, who met, immediately put on an aggressive posture and questioned again and again.

"It's...because...because..." The brigade commander faltered and was speechless. He couldn't tell Alexander II, he didn't even think about resisting.

After all, how could they be the opponents of Britain and France just by virtue of the soldiers under his command who were not even paid.

He had already decided that if Britain and France attacked Bakhchisaray, then he would lead his men to escape before the arrival of the British and French troops.

Anyway, there is a living example of Prince Menshkov in front of him, and he is not afraid of defeat.

The big deal is to go home like Prince Menshkov. The supplies he secretly sold in Bakhchisarai over the years have been enough for him to spend a prosperous old age.



The brigade commander's hesitant state made the anger in Alexander II's heart, who had nowhere to vent in Sevastopol, burn even more vigorously. He pointed at the brigade commander and cursed directly: "Because of what? Because of your negligence of duty. Or is it because you want to treason! How come the Russian Imperial Army is a idiot like you!"

"Yes... yes... I'm stupid..." the brigade commander hunched over to admit his mistake to Alexander II.

Just then, an adjutant pushed in the door.

"Brigade Commander, it's not good!"

The adjutant who was about to report to the brigade commander what was happening inside Bakhchisaray saw the brigade commander and Alexander II, and immediately stopped without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Alexander II asked the adjutant with a frown.

"Yeah! What's wrong?" The brigade commander hurriedly added.

The adjutant glanced at Alexander II nervously, then glanced at the brigade commander, as if asking the brigade commander whether he should report to him.

"Let you say it, just say it!" Alexander II said with a hint of anger: "Remember that you are a soldier of the Russian Empire, not someone's personal guard!"

"Yes! Yes!" The brigade commander hurriedly said a word, and then introduced the identity of Alexander II to the adjutant: "This is His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander, you can report to him directly now!"

Hearing the crown prince's adjutant swallowed his saliva subconsciously, then bowed to Alexander II and said, "His Royal Highness, a large number of cholera patients have appeared in the Dongcheng District of Bakhchisarai!"

"What? Cholera!" With a horrified expression on Alexander II's face, he quickly asked, "Did our troops stationed here also contract cholera?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, not yet!" The adjutant shook his head in response to Alexander II, and then added: "If you let it go, I'm afraid..."

"Where's the doctor in the city?" Alexander II asked again.

"The doctors who originally stayed in the city have gone to Simferopol because of the war! There are only a handful of doctors who are still in the city. I am afraid that it is difficult for those doctors to contain the spread of cholera!" the adjutant told Alexander II Shi replied.

"Then drive all the Tatars in Dongcheng out of the city! Let them self-destruct!" Alexander II showed his determination as a tsar, and he immediately ordered the adjutant.

Although this order is indeed cruel to the Tatars living here, it is indeed an effective method.

Evacuating all the patients in Bakhchisaray can effectively ensure the safety of the French troops stationed here.

"But..." After the adjutant heard the order of Alexander II, his expression was slightly hesitant.

The Tatars in the Bakhchisarai region number not only one or two thousand, but tens of thousands.

It is really cruel to drive them all out to fend for themselves.

"But what!" Alexander II asked coldly: "Do you want to see your robes and all your comrades infected with the **** cholera?"

The questioning of Alexander II made the adjutant make up his mind. After he saluted Alexander II, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute!" Alexander II's voice stopped the adjutant, and then said cruelly to the adjutant: "You bring a regiment of soldiers to drive over! Anyone who is unwilling to leave will be shot on the spot as a charge of betrayal of the Russian Empire. !"

The adjutant's face showed a touch of pain, and he nodded to Alexander II and replied: "As per your order, Your Highness!"

After the adjutant left, Alexander II ordered the brigade commander to immediately send people to build fortifications and a field hospital after the adjutant drove out the Tatars who wanted the Dongcheng District.

"This is going to be the outpost of our attack on Sevastopol!" Alexander II responded to the brigade commander by gently stomping the floor tiles under his feet.

"Yes, Your Highness!"



The Tatars in Dongcheng District were quickly driven out by the army of a regiment led by the adjutant.

Although there were small-scale conflicts during the period (the Tatars were killed nearly 100 people, and the Russian army also injured dozens of people), but overall it was a harmless thing.

Alexander II, who was dealing with the Dongcheng District, personally commanded the Russians and Greeks in the city to build fortifications in Bakhchisaray. (Alexander II subconsciously regarded the Tatars as traitors)

For the next few days, Alexander II remained in Bakhchisaray.

Under the supervision of Alexander II, Bakhchisaray soon built a relatively complete set of fortifications.

Gorchakov, who was far away from Perekop, after learning that Alexander II was staying in Bakhchisaray, immediately led his Cossack cavalry to set off from Perekop and set off from Perekop, after a long day and night. After the raid, they arrived at Bakhchisaray the next morning.

"Your Highness!" Commander Gorchakov, who entered Bakhchisaray with a tired body, bowed to Alexander II.

"Commander Gorchakov, why are you here! I'm ready to return to Perekop!" Alexander II replied to Gorchakov.

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid we will spend a long time here in the future!" Commander Gorchakov said to Alexander II with a wry smile.

"Is there another news from St. Petersburg?" Alexander II asked Gorchakov with a frown.

"Yes!" Commander Gorchakov nodded and replied to Alexander II, then took out a letter and handed it to Alexander II.

This was a letter from Nicholas I to him, and Alexander II hurriedly opened the letter.

The content of the letter is roughly that Nicholas I already knew about the situation you are facing (Alexander II described their difficulties when he wrote to Nicholas I), and the doctors and supplies you need will be sent soon up.

However, Nicholas I firmly objected to their request to suspend the attack.

Of course, Nicholas I also stated the reasons for his opposition.

In addition to the fact that the Russian Empire will use thunder to defeat the coalition forces, UU read www.uukanshu.com to achieve the purpose of deterring other countries that are just about to move.

Another point is that the current finances of the empire cannot allow them to continue to spend their time with the coalition forces in the Crimea peninsula like this. The 200,000 troops are not a small number to eat and drink, not to mention the artillery and horses. , military pay and other miscellaneous things, also need to consume a lot of money.

In short, the Russian Empire has no money to wait for them to slowly reorganize the army.

If they could not launch a large-scale attack while Russia's finances were still viable, they would no longer have the strength to launch a large-scale attack once the imperial finances were completely depleted.

By that time, the Russian Empire will never be reversed.
