Struggle in Russia

Chapter 555: Strange Flower (Part 2)

Dmitry was shocked again. The normal human brain circuit would never have such an idea. How could they expect the Moldavian elite to rebel? What good is this?

But he immediately thought of it, and it might really be good for Grand Duke Constantine.

What do you think is the most difficult thing about Grand Duke Constantine going to Moldavia as the governor? It's still these Moldavian local snakes who don't listen to orders.

If you want to really control Moldavia, you have to get rid of these gangsters and make them obey orders obediently. That's why he hastily set up the Volunteer Army, and tried every means to fight the other faction.

It's just that some plans of Grand Duke Constantine unfortunately failed because of Wallachia's lack of cooperation, and he made a fuss. If it hadn't been for the outbreak of war, I am afraid that these Moldavian dignitaries will soon unite to make trouble for him, and his father Nicholas I will give him a serious lesson and ask him why he made such a ghost .

Grand Duke Constantine was lucky enough to wait for the war to break out, and everything had to give way to the war. This not only made the gang of Moldavian dignitaries who wanted to make troubles afraid to act recklessly, but also made him feel that he was in the midst of the war. The importance of Moldavia in the background has greatly increased, and even St. Petersburg will be more tolerant of his governance of Moldavia.

As a result, Grand Duke Constantine's courage is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and he can do things that he didn't want to do before, such as reforms!

He is indeed a real reformist, and he feels that since Alexei and Li Xiao can make a lot of money through half-baked reforms in Wallachia, then he will not take off when he implements the full version of the reform!

Grand Duke Constantine believes that as long as reforms are carried out, all bottlenecks and problems restricting the development of Moldavia will be solved by themselves, and Moldavia will be prosperous day by day.

However, if Moldavia wants to carry out thorough reforms, the obstacles and stumbling blocks are those powerful people with vested interests. They must be wiped out so that the reforms can proceed smoothly.

Before the war broke out, Grand Duke Constantine was a little bit helpless against them, but once the war broke out, he felt that the opportunity had come. At this time, he can deal with those guys in whatever way he wants, and no one should dare to make irresponsible remarks to him.

So Grand Duke Constantine actually wished that these Moldavian dignitaries would jump out and rebel, so that he would have sufficient reasons and excuses to deal with them. Naturally, he didn't take Alexei's warning at all seriously, but wished that the gang of dignitaries would jump back quickly.

As for Earl Uvarov, Grand Duke Constantine was not so arrogant that he ignored him at all, but he felt that the earl was old and confused. Make such a foolish trick,

Isn't this giving away people's heads?

The two of them have long been displeased with each other, and the hatred has long been settled. Grand Duke Constantine felt that this time he just settled the account with Count Uvarov with new and old hatred, and let Uvaro Count Husband knew he was not to be trifled with.

So not only was he not anxious about Count Uvarov being involved in this matter, but he was very happy and even a little eager to try. He thought that the home court of Moldavia could teach Count Uvarov a profound lesson.

Objectively speaking, it is not surprising that Grand Duke Constantine made such a choice. He is a spoiled child, and he is selfish enough. In a sense, he is the same type as Count Uvarov. Humans, in order to achieve their goals, do not compromise the means.

It is quite scary for such a person to go crazy, and will do anything regardless. Now Grand Duke Constantine is just ensuring his interests according to his ideas.

It's just that, maybe ten or twenty years later, he will be more comfortable doing the same thing. Now he is too immature, and he is no match for an old fox like Count Uvarov.

For example, Grand Duke Constantine underestimated the horror of the enemy now, and the Moldavian dignitaries he looked down on were much more powerful than he imagined.

"Is the National Army ready?"

"It's almost ready, as long as you give an order, you will immediately turn back!"

"What about the Volunteer Army?"

"It's fairly stable, and all the important facilities in Chisinau are controlled by it."

"It's okay, that's what was expected."

"His Royal Highness thinks that if he controls Chisinau, he controls Moldavia. He is naive! It's time to tell him who is controlling Moldavia!"

Just when Grand Duke Constantine was waiting in Chisinau, ready to wipe out the Moldavian dignitaries as soon as they rebelled, something that stunned him happened.

The rebellion did occur, but not in Chisinau, but in areas other than Chisinau and under the control of the Russian garrison. A large number of the national army suddenly turned their backs, announcing that they would no longer accept the order of the governor of Moldavia under the banner of opposing reforms.

In an instant, 70% of the cities and towns in Moldavia changed their flags, making the already poorly functioning traffic lines even worse!

It can be said that the traffic on the side of Moldavia is completely paralyzed, and no materials can pass through Russia anymore, making Wallachia's material reserves, which were not considered sufficient, even more precarious.

All of this naturally aroused the great attention of the Russian army and Grand Duke Constantine. The former immediately reported the incident in Moldavia to St. Petersburg, hoping that the country would resolve this trouble as soon as possible, otherwise the logistics would really collapse.

And the latter soon discovered that the problem was much more troublesome than he imagined after spending the initial period of comfort.

After the Moldavian National Army rebelled, Grand Duke Constantine immediately mobilized the Russian garrison and volunteers to counter the rebellion. In the area around Chisinau, they quickly recovered some towns because the National Army did not Go head to head with them and get out before the counter-rebels arrive.

The initial victory once made Grand Duke Constantine think that the rebels were vulnerable, but the reality soon gave him a resounding slap in the face. After his counter-insurgency army moved to the next city, these newly recovered towns would be very difficult. It was soon reoccupied by the "bandits" and "National Army" who made a comeback.

He had to order the troops to turn around and come back to solve these troubles, but when the counter-insurgency troops came back again, these rebels would run away early.

So after tossing around a few times, he could only order the Russian Army and the Volunteer Army to guard the restored town. Only in this way, although the recovered towns around Chisinau were consolidated, the Volunteer Army and the Russian garrison, which had limited strength, were unable to continue to counter the rebellion, and were trapped in a small area around Chisinau...
