Struggle in Russia - v3 Chapter 850 Sadness of the Leading Party

As France gave up attacking Russia on the Polish issue, the main obstacle to the Paris Peace Conference basically disappeared. With a series of py transactions, the final peace agreement was acceptable to all parties.

At 1:00 p.m. on March 30, representatives from various countries gathered again to formally sign the peace agreement.

Under the latest agreement, Russia pledged to withdraw its troops from Wallachia and Moldavia within 12 months in order to achieve complete independence and autonomy for the two countries. In addition, Moldavia and Wallachia will cede a small part of their territory to Austria.

As for Crimea, Russia has pledged not to expand the Black Sea Fleet for the next ten years and will keep the fleet at its current tonnage.

In addition, in the Caucasus region, Russia promised to return to the pre-war line of control between the two sides and return the occupied Turkish territory.

As for Turkey, Abdul Mejid I promised to give Christians and Jews more legal rights, at least guaranteeing their most basic human rights needs. And promised to further reform in the future to give Jews and Christians more rights.

To tell the truth about such a treaty with muddy mud, only the French may be satisfied, and the others, whether it is Russia, Britain, Austria or Turkey, are not satisfied. For Russia, this is the first time they have been forced to sign a treaty without winning against Turkey, which is a shame.

For Britain, especially for Palmerston, this did not achieve his intended purpose at all. It failed to fundamentally limit and weaken Russia. It was a fool to get this thing at such a huge price.

As for Austria, they originally wanted to use Britain and France to put pressure on Russia to force Russia to give up continuing to do things in the Balkans, and take back Moldavia and Wallachia along the way. But in the end, they only got a little bit about the size of sesame and mung bean, and Russia was not driven away, and even completely ruined the relationship between the two countries because of their treachery.

As for Turkey, although the Sultan felt that he had defeated Russia once, and finally did not continue to lose power and humiliate the country, but it was finally forced to reform by Britain and France, which was simply forced to eat a bite, disgusting!

You see, it seems that all parties involved feel cheated, and naturally they feel a little forced smile when they finally sign.

Of course, this is the opinion of the big figures at the top of the pyramids of various countries, and for the common people who really experienced this war and the soldiers who shed blood on the battlefield, the signing of the peace treaty is really good, and they are very happy. Tea hi big run!

When the news of the signing of the peace treaty was announced throughout Paris, the telegraph station continued to spread the news to the world.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the war was over with a roar from the cannons of the Invalides in Paris, and cheering crowds gathered in the streets, restaurants and cafes, and even set off fireworks at night.

Turning around, a military parade was held on the Champ de Mars to accept Napoleon III. Review by Prince Napoleon and senior officers and foreign envoys.

According to Count Orlov: "The excitement of the crowd trembled like an electric current, full of pride and enthusiasm for the country, and the deafening cheers rang through the Champ de Mars, louder than the sound of a thousand cannons."

The news of peace reached Crimea the next day - telegrams were relayed from Paris to Varna and then to Balaklava by submarine cable, and on April 2 the artillery of the Crimean coalition was fired. The final roar commemorates the end of the war.

According to the contract, the coalition forces have six months to withdraw from Crimea. A large number of military supplies and equipment need to be counted and shipped back to the country, as well as other captured cannons, guns, scrap iron and food, including many from the Russians. What was stolen is that there are still many materials here that cannot be transported and can only be resold to the Russians.

After the withdrawal of the coalition forces, the defenders of Sevastopol and the Russian troops stationed in the direction of Perekop returned to the towns and plains of southern Crimea. The original battlefield here has once again become farmland and pastures, and it seems that everything has returned to its pre-war state.

It just looks like that. When the coalition forces invaded Crimea before, the Tatars who cooperated with the coalition forces as the leading party suffered bitter results. Fearing Russian retaliation, the Tatars began to flee Crimea in groups before the war ended. The Tatars at the bottom of the Beda Valley petitioned the British commander-in-chief Codrington, hoping that the coalition could help them leave the Crimea. Rimia:

"In return for the kindness that Britain has shown us, we will always remember Her Majesty Queen Victoria and General Codrington as God does, and we will pray for them with the five times a day that the teachings of Muhammad have given us. Their prayers and that of all Britons are passed on to our children and grandchildren."

Behold, what a humble, well-behaved and domesticated leading party!

Did their well-behaved and sensible get the response and kindness of their godfather? It's a pity that, like those abandoned leading party members in later generations~www.novelbuddy.com~, when the godfather was about to run away, he couldn't care about it at all.

Codrington ignored these Tatars at all, even if they had provided food, intelligence, and livestock to the coalition before!

Not only was Codrington not interested in paying attention to the Tatars, but the French and Turks did not even think of protecting the Tatars from retaliation by the Russian authorities. In fact, they could have added relevant clauses to the peace treaty.

Of course, some would argue that Article 5 of the Treaty of Paris obliges any belligerent nation to grant full amnesty to its own subjects who show signs of actively participating in enemy military operations. It is said that this article also applies to the Tatars, but in fact this article is prepared for the Bulgarians and Greeks. At the request of Russia, in order to protect these Orthodox brothers who cooperated with the Russian army from being liquidated by the Ottoman Empire, it was specially added. of.

As for the Tatars, the coalition did not care at all, they just wanted to go home early. Even if they take care of it and are going to talk about the fifth item above, the Russian side has already figured out a strategy to deal with it.

For example, Count Stroganov, the governor of the later New Russia region, found a way to punish the Tatars without being bound by the treaty. He claimed that during the Crimean War, the Tatars left the designated residence without the permission of the military authorities. ground, this is already a serious violation of Russian law, so they automatically lose the protection of the Paris Treaty.

As a result, the Tatars suffered a disaster almost immediately after the withdrawal of the coalition forces. Russia began to arrest the Tatars on a large scale and confiscated their property, and even concentrated the execution of the Tatars. That is to say, since then, the ethnic composition of the Crimea region has quickly been simplified, and the original large number of Tatars have almost been swept away.

This shows that no matter what era or country it is in, when the Leading Party must be prepared to be liquidated afterwards, it is destined to have no good end!
