The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 309: The Tsar, the devil is causing a revolution in the Qing Dynasty! (Please subscribe, please vote)
When Natalia, a beautiful Russian girl of Germanic descent from Poland, heard the Tsar say that next Christmas would be spent in Constantinople, she frowned.

The Tsar knew that his little niece was kind-hearted, and that the Romanovs were all “kind-hearted” and could not bear to see people suffer.

So the Tsar smiled and called Natalia by her nickname: "Natasha, you don't need to be sad about the tens of thousands of deaths and injuries. That is the necessary price to make Russia great. Moreover, our Russian Empire is the Third Rome. We inherited the glory of the Second Rome. Recovering Constantinople and protecting all Christians in the Turkish Empire is the historical mission given to us Russians by the Savior Jesus. We are just fulfilling our mission now."

The girl tilted her head, as if thinking about something. After a while, she said to the Tsar: "Uncle, I am not sad about the tens of thousands of deaths and injuries. This is nothing."

The Tsar nodded. "Yes! That's what a Russian Grand Duchess should say!"

The girl continued, "I got a copy of the Great Prophecy Book in Warsaw. The book predicted the major events that would happen in late 1852 and 1853, and also predicted the outbreak of the Ninth Russo-Turkish War and some of its consequences."

"Oh, those restless Poles are causing trouble again!" The Tsar said disdainfully, "Let me guess, are those Poles predicting that the army and navy of our Russian Empire will be defeated by the Turkish Sultan's army?"

When talking about this, the Tsar actually laughed, as if he was telling a very, very funny joke.

"Oh, no." Natalia shook her head gently. "The Great Prophecy says that Britain and France will officially join the war in March 1854, and in January 3, the British fleet will enter the Black Sea!"

"Nonsense! This is complete nonsense!" The Tsar said to his son angrily, "Sasha, go and order the Polish Governor to arrest and hang the author of this "Great Prophecy"!"

Crown Prince Alexander did not move, as if he did not hear the Tsar's order.

"What?" The Tsar looked at his son, "Sasha, why don't you go and convey my order!"

"Because, father, the author of the Great Book of Prophecies is not even in Poland."

"Not in Poland?" the Tsar snorted. "Then where is he?"

"It seems to be in the Qing Dynasty," Natalia answered, taking out a French version of the "Great Book of Prophecy" and handing it to the Tsar. "This was given to my mother by Maria Warsaw of the Doria family who visited Warsaw."

"Maria of the Doria family? Isn't she the Pope's person?" The Tsar took the "Great Book of Prophecy" handed over by his niece and began to read it.

During Nicholas I's boyhood and youth, French culture was still popular in the Russian court. Being well educated, he was of course fluent in French, so he quickly finished reading the thin Book of the Prophecy, and his face gradually became solemn - the content seemed a bit scary!

Then he remembered Maria's background.

Maria of the Doria family's full name is Maria de Clementina Doria. She is from Genoa, Kingdom of Sardinia. The Doria family to which she belongs has always been one of the ruling families of the Republic of Genoa during the era of the Genoese Aristocratic Republic from 1528 to 1797. The family also had very close relations with the Roman See and had produced many senior priests in history.

After the Genoese aristocratic republic was destroyed by Napoleon, members of the Doria family became nobles of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and some of them even played both sides and served the Vatican at the same time.

The background of this "Maria of the Doria Family" is quite complicated. She seems to have been a nun in her early years. Later, she used the surname Doria and the title of countess given to her by the Pope to have close relationships with noble ladies from many countries. It is said that many nobles were pursuing her. There are also rumors that she is actually a spy who obeys the orders of the Pope himself.

Maria and Natalia's mother, Grand Duchess Yelena Pavlovna of Württemberg, also had a very good relationship with him. Earlier, she had acted as an intermediary between the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess and the Pope of Rome. Natalia's father had been stationed in Warsaw for a long time, and he had to deal with a group of Polish Catholic nobles, and sometimes the Pope of Rome had to come out and say a few words.

Of course, although the Pope of Rome recites Catholic scriptures, his relationship with the Orthodox Russian Tsar is very close, because they both extremely hate the European revolution!

He is a standard-bearer in the European reactionary camp!
Pope Pius IX was driven out of Rome by the Romans because he was too reactionary during the revolution of 1848. The revolutionary storm of 1848 was forcibly suppressed by Nicholas I, the "chief of the European gendarmes".

Therefore, Pope Pius IX was quite worried about the prospect that the Russian Empire might be defeated in the Ninth Russo-Turkish War.

The Tsar closed the French version of the Great Prophecy in his hand and asked again: "Did Maria come to Petersburg with you?"

"No," said Natalia, "she has returned to Rome. She left Warsaw immediately after receiving the Pope's telegram. Before leaving, she asked me to bring a handwritten letter to Sasha." The Tsar turned his head and looked at his son.

Crown Prince Alexander nodded.

"Well," the Tsar said to his niece, smiling, "Nata, you have done very well. You must be very tired after traveling so far from Warsaw to Petersburg. Go and rest. You have to attend the ball tomorrow!"

"Yes, uncle."

Natalia knelt and bowed, then walked lightly out of the Tsar's office.

As soon as his niece left, the Tsar quickly walked to his desk and sat down, while his crown prince Alexander sat down opposite his father's oversized desk.

"Sasha, what do you think?"

the Tsar asked, looking at Alexander.

The latter pointed to a document that had been placed in front of the Tsar at some point, frowned and said, "Father, this is the Secret Report on the Devil and the Qing Revolution issued by the Governor-General of East Siberia Muravyov three months ago. It was sent to St. Petersburg ten days ago."

The Tsar frowned and said, "Devil. Oh, I remember there was a 'Secret Report on the Discovery of Demons in the Qing Dynasty', which seemed to have been sent by Muravyov. It contained all sorts of nonsense, such as demons descending from the sky and Jesus possessing people. Wait, did you mention 'Qing Revolution' just now?"

Nicholas I was not very interested in religious issues, so when the "Secret Report on the Discovery of the Devil in Qing Dynasty" written by Tupolev "Lama" was sent to St. Petersburg, the Tsar threw it directly into the trash can.

Moreover, Nicholas I also ordered his confidential office not to send such ridiculous reports in the future, as the Tsar’s time was very precious!
But Nicholas I was extremely sensitive to the word "revolution"!

Alexander also frowned slightly: "Yes, it is the demons from the Qing Dynasty who are causing the revolution! So the people from the Confidential Office gave me this report and a book called "On Revolution" from the Qing Dynasty."

Reports concerning demons should go straight into the trash, while matters concerning the revolution should be reported immediately to the Tsar.

So what should we do about the report on demons causing revolution?
None of the Tsar’s secretaries knew how to handle the case, so they had to send it to Crown Prince Alexander for handling.

"On Revolution? Where is it?" the Tsar asked hurriedly.

"It's also on your desk, and has been translated into Russian." Alexander pointed to a not-too-thick book that was also placed on the large desk. It was actually a combined edition of Volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the Anti-Scripture.

The word "anti-classic" is translated into foreign language, isn't it "revolutionary theory"? It looks scary at first glance, isn't it?
The Tsar immediately saw the book with the word "revolution" written on the cover on his desk, and picked it up to read without saying a word.

There are not many words in "On Revolution", but the Tsar read very fast, almost ten lines at a glance, and finished reading "On Revolution" in a short while. Then he picked up "Secret Report on the Devil and the Qing Revolution" and started reading it, which he also finished quickly.

After reading it, Nicholas I's face was a little gloomy: "It seems that I underestimated the mobs in the Qing Dynasty who were rioting in the name of God. Some of their leaders should be from Europe, who participated in the revolution of 1848, mastered some of the latest science and technology, and knew everything about what happened in Europe. I think they must have maintained close contacts with European revolutionaries!"

"Father, do you mean that the Great Book of Prophecy is a forgery?" Alexander seemed a little reserved about this conclusion.

"Well," the Tsar hesitated, "This still needs to be investigated! But one thing is certain, that is, what happened in the Qing Dynasty was a revolution disguised as religion! The revolution in the Qing Dynasty poses a major threat to us, Russia. Once the revolution is victorious in the Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary trend in Europe will rise again! It is even possible that a similar revolution disguised as Christianity will occur!

There are still many people in Russia who believe in religion! If these people are used by revolutionaries, Russia will be in big trouble! "

The Tsar's tone became increasingly gloomy: "Therefore, the demons of the Qing Dynasty must be eliminated, and the revolution must be suppressed!"
