All of a sudden, the Guards were forced into an extremely dangerous situation by these serf soldiers, and in addition to these serf soldiers, some of the people at the bottom of St.
Petersburg also joined the battle.
The manors of the nobles who are high up on weekdays are unlucky, and the red-eyed serfs and poor people don't care about the reputation of these nobles on weekdays, as long as they see a magnificent manor, these serfs will go in and burn and loot wildly, and the nobles' own guards and armed soldiers have signs of being unable to support under the madness of these serfs.
Semenovsky became the busiest man in St.
Petersburg at the moment, and as the governor of St.
Petersburg, Semenovsky had the most men at his disposal except for the emperor's guard, which was the garrison of St.
Petersburg.
At present, part of the garrison has joined the sequence of resistance, and the remaining soldiers are mainly deployed in the imperial palace in St.
Petersburg.
Semenovsky, who had no extra strength in his hands, had to send people to communicate the various nobles in the city, and try to take refuge in the St.
Petersburg Imperial Palace, and those nobles who had fallen into the siege of the rebels should not expect anyone to come to the rescue, because Semenovsky had no extra men to send.
And as the heir to the Russian Empire after the death of Paul I, Alexander was also a little caught off guard by this sudden harassment, he did not expect that his father, who usually seemed to be a little unprofessional, would have such a high reputation among the serfs and the peaceful people.
But Alexander also knew that the riots in St.
Petersburg had to be suppressed.
Otherwise, once these serfs rebelled, it would be a disaster for both the central government and the imperial family.
For this reason, Alexander, who was only fifteen years old, ignored the earth-shattering roar outside and the dissuasion of his attendants.
He insisted on leading his guard of more than 200 people to the city of St.
Petersburg to suppress the serfs.
On the way to suppress the serfs, Alexander ordered people to raise the banner of the imperial family and ask the nobles to contribute their escort armaments.
After having a leader, the panicked nobles finally came to their senses, and on the one hand, they hurried their families to the imperial palace in St.
Petersburg, and on the other hand, they sent their own family guards to Alexander's command to wait for their dispatch.
But there were too many rebels in the city, and those usually cowardly civilians dared to join the ranks of the rebels to fight against the regular army of the empire, and St.
Petersburg was in danger of falling for a while.
And just when Alexander was in a bitter battle.
Suddenly, the shouts and roars of the Cossacks sounded from the streets of St.
Petersburg, and two regiments of Cossack cavalry of more than 1,000 people were seen swarming, and the rebels who were killed in a moment had a tendency to lose their armor.
"Quick.
Let the Cossack cavalry make peace with us, and then we will go to the city, and now we will break most of the rebels there!
” Having seen the arrival of the Cossack cavalry, Alexander was overjoyed.
And after that.
The Cossack cavalry joined Alexander, and Alexander immediately had an infantry army of more than 4,000 men.
This large, organized regular army would be fatal to the already scattered rebels in the city.
You must know that the rebels were originally composed of some soldiers who were born as serfs, and then some civilians joined, but the biggest drawback is that the rebels did not have a unified command structure or commander, and they were often dozens of acquaintances to deal with the Guards.
In this way, although it can gain the upper hand in a short period of time by virtue of the superiority in numbers, it is very undesirable for a long-term battle.
On the afternoon of September 3, 1791.
The riots in St.
Petersburg finally subsided, and Alexander, who had been busy all night, was exhausted, but fortunately, the riots finally subsided.
Alexander could also breathe a sigh of relief.
In the midst of this riot, the whole of St.
Petersburg suffered a devastating catastrophe.
Several neighborhoods were set to ruins by the fighting, and at least dozens of noble families were attacked by rebels, looting their property and killing most of them.
Fortunately, several important places in St.
Petersburg, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Treasury, the Central Government Building, and the military supply warehouses in St.
Petersburg, were not breached by the rebels because of the large number of guards.
As the birthplace of this rebellion, the Duma parliament can be said to be the worst place in St.

Petersburg, when more than 20 noble members of the parliament all became the guns of the rebels, and the valuables inside the parliament were also looted.
After returning to the palace, Alexander did not care about resting at all, and the thick pile of papers on the table showed that Alexander had many more things to deal with, and the aftermath of the riots in St.
Petersburg became the most important.
The messengers sent to the armies of Bagration and Rumyantsev had already set out on the evening of the first of September, and because of the distance, the movement of the two armies had not yet been reported, but Alexander was not very optimistic.
Rumyantsev, as an old coach who was neglected in the time of Catherine II, was reused after Paul I came to power, and almost became the commander in the Russian imperial team second only to Paul I.
If it weren't for Paul I's direct promotion of the twenty-six-year-old Bagration from a small second lieutenant to a major general, how could Bagration have a great future against Kutuzov.
Even in terms of feelings, Bagration is probably more grateful to Paul I than Rumyantsev.
And now that Bagration's army of 30,000 men has invaded Estonia and will even be able to recover it soon, Alexander will not weep to death if the death of Paul I becomes a Kutuzov-like result.
So the messengers sent to the two armies, in addition to the news of the death of Paul I, also carried orders for the promotion of the two commanders-in-chief.
Rumyantsev was originally the marshal of the Russian Empire and the duke of the empire, and Alexander directly promoted Rumyantsev to the rank of generalissimo of the empire.
The knighthood also became the prince of the empire, and in his heart Alexander promised Rumyantsev that if Rumyantsev could be loyal to Alexander and recover Moscow.
Then Rumyantsev's descendants will inherit the title of Grand Duke, and at the same time, the Russian Empire will set aside a territory to be ruled by the Rumyantsev family as a "state within a state"!
The promise to Bagration was that if Bagration swore allegiance to Alexander, Bagration would be promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Empire, and the title of Marquis would be elevated.
Even if Bagration was able to defeat the Kutuzov rebels, Alexander hinted that the restoration of the Georgian royal family's rule over the Georgian regions could be considered.
Georgia was annexed by the Russian Empire in the time of Bagration's grandfather, and the Georgian royal family was naturally only made a count.
But now Alexander has painted a picture of Bagration's prospects, and if Bagration can restore his ancestral kingdom, he will be a legend to everyone!
And in addition to these promises.
Alexander was also preparing to select women from close relatives of the Romanov royal family to marry Bagration, and it can be said that Alexander used all the means that could be wooed.
In fact, after the messenger left, Alexander's heart was also entangled.
On the one hand, he hoped that both Rumyantsev and Bagration would be able to swear allegiance to him.
On the other hand, after the two really swore allegiance.
Next, treating the two like this also became Alexander's entanglement.
Rumyantsev is now sixty-six years old, and no matter how he seals it, in a few years at most, Rumyantsev will definitely be called away by God.
However, Bagration was only twenty-six years old, and Bagration's sudden ascension to a high position made many imperial nobles lack a good impression of Bagration.
The nobles who now supported Alexander, like all the nobles of the more dynasties, were dissatisfied with the nobles who had been reused in the previous dynasty, as Bagration, who was still young and had few roots in the empire.
It is not an exaggeration to say that most of the current imperial nobles are his enemies.
In this way, Alexander's reuse of Bagration after the war would have led to discontent among the nobles.
And if he doesn't reuse Bagration, he will also make Bagration centrifuge, and even stimulate the hearts of the people of the empire to a certain extent, after all, Bagration can be regarded as a figure who can turn the tide.
Fortunately, Alexander has a lot of things to do now, so after just struggling for a while, Alexander has to devote himself to other things. .................................
These days, Sweden can be said to be very unstable, with the two major European blocs going to war and the Russian Empire's civil strife, many Swedes have been eager to join the war, at least to recover some of Sweden's lost territories in the previous Russo-Swedish war.
However, due to the diplomatic efforts of the Prussians and the calmness of King Gustantif, Sweden now focuses on running the Norwegian region.
Norway has been the focus of contention between Denmark and Sweden, oscillating between Sweden and Denmark from 950 AD onwards, when Norway came under Danish control until 1660.
Denmark has ruled Norway for more than 120 years, and has already extended its tentacles into every corner of Norway, and the Swedes as invaders have naturally met with strong opposition from the people in Norway.
Norway is the home of the Nordic pirates, who have historically been the most troublesome in the Baltic and Atlantic states.
Although the Vikings have gradually declined over time, the fierce character of the Norsemen has been passed down from generation to generation, and this is experienced in the rebellion of the Norwegians against the Swedes.
The Swedes deployed more than 40,000 troops in Norway, but these troops still could not effectively control the entire Norwegian region, and even in Oslo, the capital of Norway, where the Swedes were heavily guarded, Swedish officers, nobles, and merchants were often attacked and killed by the Norwegians.
In such a situation, although many people in the country strongly demanded that Gustanv send troops to Russia or chaotic Lithuania and other places.
Gustav did not agree.
Because Gustav knew that Sweden's national strength was limited, and the current Sweden still had not recovered from the defeat of many Russian-Swedish wars.
In addition, a large number of troops were stationed in the Norwegian region to deal with the harassment of those Norwegians.
It can be said that although Norway is very attractive, the current Norway is still only a bleeding wound on the Swedes, and it cannot provide any benefits for Sweden for the time being.
But Gustav was also an ambitious ruler, and the reason why he did not want to use troops abroad was that one consideration was Norway, and the other was the direction of Sweden's expansion.
On the Baltic coast, Sweden has a limited amount of land to expand.
In addition to Lithuania, Estonia and other places under Kutuzov's influence, there are only two countries, Prussia and Russia.
And Russia, which is now in the midst of civil strife, is an excellent target for expansion.

But the current Russia is still a hundred-legged worm that is dead but not stiff, and Gustav is a little reluctant to fall into the quagmire of Russia, and the defeat of many Russian-Swedish wars has also made Gustav's heart have some shadows on the Russians.
As for Prussia.
Gustav had thought about it.
Prussia is now in the middle of the Austro-Prussian War.
The war with Austria dragged down most of Prussia's strength, and if the Swedes seized the opportunity, they would indeed be able to bite off a piece of Prussian's flesh.
Of course, there is an alliance agreement between Prey, but in the eyes of the ruler, the so-called agreement is just a piece of waste paper that can be torn off at any time.
After the start of the Austro-Prussian war, the emissaries in Vienna also felt Stockholm.
Approaching Gustav to test the possibility of attacking Prussia.
The Austrians offered the two countries to divide Prussia, and to be honest, this condition did make Gustav happy.
But Gustav also knew that Prussia was not something that could be annexed.
Now it seems that the Austro-Prussian war has dragged down most of Prussia's strength, but Prussia has not yet made a national call-up.
In other words, neither Prussia nor Austria had done their best, and in such a situation, the Swedes could be bloodied if they rashly entered the war.
In Gustav's view, the best time to join the overall picture of the Austro-Prussian war is undoubtedly when both Prussia and Austria have invested their last drop of blood in the war, and only in this case can the Swedes get the maximum benefits.
Therefore, now Gustav has no intention of waiting for the price to sell.
This did not last long, and at the end of August, an envoy from Brandenburg hurried to Stockholm, who conveyed Wilhelm's hopes to Gustav.
Wilhelm hoped that Gustav would join the fight against Russia in consideration of the Prussian alliance, but this inconsistent attitude of Prussia puzzled Gustav, considering that after Brankoff captured Moscow, the Swedes intended to declare war on Russia, but the Prussians at that time used all their strength to prevent the Swedes from using force against Russia.
And now Prussia actually sent people to persuade Sweden to declare war on Russia, which made Gustav very confused.
The messenger seemed to see Gustav's confusion and explained: "Your Majesty, the reason why you were dissuaded from declaring war on Russia some time ago is because Your Majesty considered that the wrestling between the Russian Empire and the rebels had not been carried out to a certain extent, and now Your Majesty should have heard that the Russian Empire is gaining an advantage over the rebels, and in such a situation, Sweden can only achieve the greatest benefits by joining the war!"
As soon as he said this, Gustav understood that the Prussians were fighting like this.
The chaos within the Russian Empire allowed Prussia to mobilize all its forces against the Austrians, but once the two rebel armies of Russia were defeated, the reunited Russia would become a great neighbor of Prussia, and the Prussian government, which was in the midst of the Austro-Prussian War, was clearly unwilling to let Russia become a great threat to the East again!
That's why they changed their attitude and persuaded Sweden to declare war on Russia.
But Gustav was not Wilhelm's subordinate after all, and it was impossible for the Prussians to say whatever they wanted, so Gustav said: "If our country wants Russia to declare war now, I don't know what help your country can provide?"
"Your Majesty, after much deliberation, our government has decided that if your country is able to send troops to Russia, we will send 20,000 troops to Lithuania to contain some of the Russians' forces to help your country's strategy, and at the same time, we will also apply for a large loan for Sweden to the British, and our Prussian government will be the guarantor!"
Such conditions were not very favorable for Gustav, and it seemed as if Prussia was a great help in deploying 20,000 men in Western Lithuania, but don't forget that Western Lithuania is bordered by Eastern Lithuania, and now Eastern Lithuania is in chaos, and besides, Eastern Lithuania is at least nominally under Kutuzov's command, and even a behemoth like Prussia cannot set up an enemy for itself in the midst of a fierce war with Austria, although it seems, This enemy is in danger of being destroyed.
