-2 years later, 1839 june 19-
The "Enlightened Russian Revolutionary Society" or ERRC has grown considerably in 2 years. They have managed to recruit over 6,750 members, some of them even in high government positions. Of course this wouldn't have been possible without the support of the crown prince.
"Are you sure your highness?"
"Yes. The required supplies will take some time to arrive, somewhere around 6-8 days. Don't forget the meeting location after its done. The required legal documents have also been prepared so there should be no problem, after all it was signed by the yusupovs."
"We'll make sure the job gets completed without a hich your highness."
-days later-
Nicholas I is inside a carriage travelling to moscow accompanies by cossacks as guards . There is some dissent there that he needs to calm down, and a change of scenery is also nice.
While looking out the window Nicholas I notices something, but before he can react-
*BOOM!*
A huges explosion blows the carriage up, after that gun shots are heard taking out all the guards. The citizens, having witnessed what hslad just transpired run out in all directions.
Alexander, having seen the explosion from afar gives out immediate orders.
"THE TSAR HAD BEEN ASSASSINATED, LOCK DOWN THE CITY!"
wlile the city is being locked down, Alexander sends out guards to arrest officials and various other people in government positions. accusing them of conspiring with a terrorist group. And having assembeled some of his elite troops to the location that he and Ruslan agreed to.
---
Ruslan, having recieved the news about the succesful assasination is happy, so he immediatly goes to the meeting place with his closest subbordinants. But...
"Kill them all! Thise terrorists have conspired against the tsar! Commiting treason!"
'The tsar? Whats gappening? Did something go wrong?'
But before he could come to a conclusion he is shot. dying in the process, the same goes for his subbordinants.
After all, these are the only people that know of Alexanders support for the Enlightened Russian Revolutionary Society, and he can't risk exposure.
After thats done and the various People apprehended Alexander moves unto the next step of his plan.
Having gathered evidence documents both real and forged, accusing not only the noble family, Yusupovs. of various crimes such as embezzelement, tax evasion, helping terrorists etc.., but the others as well, and by that I mean most of the powerful noble families in russia holding vast swaths of land, serfs, and money.
And, with his newspaer company, being dominant in nearly every part of the empire starts spreading it what Alexander wants, in some places slower then others since the information needs to be relayed.
With that done now the real fun starts, Army mobilization.
He immediatly mobilizes 5 divisions of Elite units he trained with the permission of his father which is about roughly 50,000 men incredibly fast. After all, those railways arent just for show.
While also conscripting many men.
'Good, everythings going as planned.
I must delay the news of the tsars death for as long as possible. Assemble a fighting force and march towards various noble estates, apprehending them.'
Alexander knows that hes actions will turn him into a pariah anong the aristocracy not only in russia, but also across all of europe.
After all, other then the french revolution there had been no precedent of a monarch stripping titles and lands from nobles on such a large scale.
'The imperial russian army...
Its better to rely on them as little as possible, most positions are held by the nobility and if they find out that i'm planning to revoke their titles they would rebel. Its easier to apprehend them individually, after all, training a nrw force completely loyal to me will take couple of months at least, I must buy as much time as possible.
-12 days later-
Boris is enjoying thr scenery while drinking coffee, and suddebly a servant bursts into his room immediatly delivering grave news.
"Why is the crown princs personal army and conscripts right outside my estate?
Boris Grigoryevich Yusupov, sensing something wrong orders to assmble his personal guard. But its too late.
The army barges in dragging him away, not giving him time a to collect his thoughts, while also not answering any of his queations frustrating him.
"Do you know who i'm!?
I'm of the Yusupov family! How dare you lay hands on me!"
"Shut up traitor! By commiting treason your fate has long been decided!"
'Treason? How have I commited treason? Recently the only thing I've done is send some... No, there is no way right?'
This is transpiring across the entirety of the russian empire, nobles are being detained and apprehended.
But not all is smooth sailing. Alexander having over-estimated for how long he could hide the information about the tsars death and his actions gets some interesting news.
"Your highness, the nobles have assembeled an army under the Golitsyn Family, its also suspected that some of their forces are from the russian imperial family."
Alexander, having heard the news starts sweating, if the information has already reached the others that means it won't be long before the other european powers realise whats happening.
"Lift the blockade, its useless now.
If the nobles inside the empire already know of what happend then its just a matter of time before it reaches the other european powers.
We need to speed up. Tell Dimitry to gather the rest of the Elite divisions as well as the rest to get about 80,000 men, and to march towards the Golitsyn noble families territory.
Also, speed up the spread of news about the nobles conspiracy against the crown.
"Understood your highness. With the gathered and forged evidence its easy to spread but... it simply takes a long time for the information to reach other places. If not for trains it would take a lot longer."
