Struggle in Russia

Chapter 591 Attack

Viscount Prozolov is telling the truth. For him, private property is sacred and inviolable, especially the land passed down from ancestors, which is equivalent to a gift from God and cannot be infringed.

But now that Grand Duke Constantine was carrying out reforms, he directly attacked the nobles and cut off all their land without giving a cent of compensation. Doing this was almost equivalent to an open robbery, and he really couldn't accept it.

He always felt that this was going too far. It didn't even teach the basic laws at all. If the whole world imitated Grand Duke Constantine, how could the nobles survive?

Grand Duke Constantine glanced at him and replied calmly: "Otherwise? Do you still need to be kind to those enemies? It's not like you haven't seen how they tricked me before!"

Viscount Prozolov fell silent. It is natural to punish the enemy, but the attack area is a bit too wide now. They are all on the opposite side of all the Moldavia nobles. There is a saying that not all Moldavia before Are all the sub-nobles going against you, the Grand Duke?

Is it really okay for you to overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke like this?

Grand Duke Constantine looked at him again and sneered: "You mean to let go of those guys who don't go against me? By the way, how many are there?"

Viscount Prozolov was speechless again, because what he really wanted was not to let a few people go, but to punish only the culprits and let the others go. However, Grand Duke Constantine came back to him with just one sentence. Because he also knows that there are really not many Moldavia nobles who have not stood against Constantine's enemy. The whole country can be counted on two hands.

According to his logic, what's the point of letting these people go? What's the difference between 99% and 100%?

But if you ask Viscount Prozolov to say what's in his heart to his face, he won't dare to do it and he won't be able to do it. He knew very well how much Archduke Constantine hated those supporters of the Moldavia rebels, and it was impossible for Archduke Constantine to let them go.

If he dares to go against Archduke Constantine on this issue, the already precarious relationship will break down in an instant.

Viscount Prozolov has not forgotten what he did before to persuade Grand Duke Constantine to bow to Li Xiao and Alexei. If he repeats his outspoken advice at this time, he will definitely fall out.

Besides, the reason why he dared to speak out before was because Grand Duke Constantine was in a precarious situation and could be finished at any time. Anyway, he had nothing to lose, so he just said it.

But now the situation has improved. Not to mention great, at least the crisis of being ousted is gone for the time being. As long as we continue to deal with the rebels step by step, the possibility of Archduke Constantine regaining control of Moldavia is still very high.

Wouldn't it be foolish to fall out with the boss under such circumstances and be kicked out?

Anyway, Viscount Prozolov is not that stupid. He knows when to speak out and when to turn a blind eye.

And the unlucky ones were those bastards in Moldavia, so he would be even less guilty. The reason why he raised this issue with Grand Duke Constantine tactfully was just his responsibility as a noble. He just had to fulfill his obligations and don't take it too seriously!

What happened in Moldavia certainly cannot be hidden, and there is no way to hide it. The Moldavia nobles who suffered deeply must have gone to St. Petersburg to cry out their grievances, hoping that Count Uvarov and the conservatives would help them resist Grand Duke Constantine, and at least abolish the policy of emancipation of serfs like an open robbery.

Naturally, Count Uvarov would not ignore it. After learning that Grand Duke Constantine suddenly died, he couldn't sit still, because what Moldavia did was what he feared the most.

If medicines are taken according to orders, and this is the case in Russia, then how can people like them have food to eat?

After receiving the relevant accusations, Count Uvarov suddenly raised this issue at the Imperial Council. He said to Nicholas I very seriously and even harshly:

"Your Majesty, I think what is happening in Moldavia must be focused on. His Highness Grand Duke Constantine's new policy has thrown the country into chaos. Almost all nobles are strongly opposed and resisted, which will lead to their Completely siding with the rebels will further worsen the situation in Moldavia!"

"If we don't take drastic measures to intervene, I'm afraid there will be big problems!"

Count Uvarov's expression and his tone made him look so worried about the country and the people, as if the sky would fall if he didn't listen to him.

Nicholas I raised his eyelids. There was no expression on his face. It was impossible to tell what his attitude was. He asked slowly: "Count, what intervention measures do you think should be taken to solve this problem?"

Count Uvarov thought that his words had reached the heart of Nicholas I, and immediately said: "The new policy in Moldavia should be abolished immediately to appease the panicked nobles. It is best to send an effective imperial envoy to Moldavia." Via assists His Royal Highness Grand Duke Constantine in stabilizing the situation!”

"Is this useful?" Nicholas I asked again slowly.

"I think it should be useful. The Moldavia nobles have always been quite honest. If Grand Duke Constantine's new policy had not angered them and forced them to have no way out, they would not have chosen to cooperate with the rebels!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Count Rostovtsev suddenly interrupted and asked: "Count, you just said that the Moldavia nobles cooperated with the rebels. Is the news true?"

Count Uvarov was very wary of Count Rostovtsev's every move. He suddenly interrupted and asked such a question must have deep meaning, but most people knew this matter well. You want to say such a large-scale Is it possible that the rebellion did not involve the Moldavia nobles?

Do you really think that those defenseless mud-legged people can hold a dung fork and a shovel and cause the Grand Duke Constantine to suffer?

Count Uvarov thought for a while and replied: "There is relevant information. Some Moldavia aristocrats cannot bear the oppression of the New Deal and choose to cooperate with the rebels. If the New Deal is not terminated, there will probably be more and more Moldavia aristocrats." Support the rebels, at that time..."

Nicholas I suddenly interrupted him: "Do you mean that as long as the New Deal is terminated, these people will be honest, and then the rebellion will disappear immediately and everything will return to the state before the rebellion?"

Count Uvarov was stunned. He never expected that Nicholas I would ask such a childish question. Because the answer is obvious, it's absolutely impossible. The Moldavia aristocrats are struggling so fiercely. How can they settle down just because of the abolition of the New Deal? Their ultimate goal must be to strive for more autonomy...
