Struggle in Russia

Although Count Uvarov is not willing to see Moldavia break away from control, nor is he willing to give Moldavia too much autonomy, he thinks this loss is acceptable compared to attacking the reformists.

That's why he hit it off with the Moldavia nobles and worked together to trick Grand Duke Constantine. And now Nicholas I asked him whether ending the New Deal would restore everything to the past. He would definitely not dare to fight for such a guarantee.

He knew very well what those thieving nobles in Moldavia wanted, and they probably wouldn't give up until they achieved their goals.

He could only reply hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I think these are negotiable. As long as we show sincerity, I believe the Moldavia will definitely see it!"

Look at what he said. Anyway, the old foxes around him understand that this is just nonsense. Even if the New Deal is really ended, Moldavia will not be able to return to its past. It's just that some of them are in the same group as Count Uvarov and are quite afraid of Grand Duke Constantine's fatal new policy, so naturally they will not try to dismantle Count Uvarov.

Some other foxes had concerns, considering the seriousness of the matter and the influence of Count Uvarov and his group, and did not dare to reveal the truth rashly.

But it doesn't matter, because Nicholas I is not that easy to fool. He said to Count Uvarov directly: "Count, I think you have a good relationship with Moldavia. Otherwise, I will send you to solve the problem." This trouble is gone. You tell them that as long as they lay down their arms and respect the leadership of Russia, how about stopping the New Deal?"

Count Uvarov stopped talking, because he knew that this was impossible, and judging from Nicholas I's intention, he was prepared to hand over this hot potato to him. Once the final result was not what the tsar expected, then He has to take responsibility, so...

He definitely won't do it!

"Your Majesty, although I know something about this matter, after all, I have no expertise in diplomacy. I think it is more appropriate to send more professional people who are more familiar with the situation in Moldavia to handle it."

"oh?"

Nicholas I smiled and asked casually: "Who do you think is the most suitable? As long as this person can restore Moldavia to its previous order, the New Deal can be abolished. This is my bottom line!"

Count Uvarov suddenly stopped talking, because what else could he say? No matter who he recommended, it would be impossible to achieve the goal within the bottom line of Nicholas I. This was an impossible task!

"Why don't you say anything, Earl? Tell me, who do you think is suitable? If not, just go there in person!"

Count Uvarov glanced at Nicholas I quietly and found that the emperor had a playful expression. It was obvious that he shot himself in the foot this time. Nicholas I was not satisfied with his plan. This is why you are deliberately making things difficult!

This made Count Uvarov confused. Nicholas I's conservatism was obvious. He had never had a good impression of reforms and the New Deal. Ordinarily, he should not oppose the plan to end the turmoil in Moldavia by ending the New Deal.

Although Russia will definitely have to make some concessions according to this plan, it is not unacceptable, right?

But looking at what he means now, it is clear opposition and not cold at all. What is going on?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Nicholas I really hated innovation and reform, but he hated the damage to his authority even more. He wanted to save face and could never allow the Moldavian nobles to do this, just because he didn’t like Grand Duke Constantine’s New Deal. You dare to rebel openly, do you take him as the emperor seriously?

Today you rebel under the guise of opposing the New Deal, and tomorrow you may rebel again under other similar pretexts. If I indulge you in your nonsense, then I, the emperor, will still be nothing more than a fool!

What's more, Nicholas I was not blind. Although Archduke Constantine's New Deal had a lot of problems, the original version was not as radical as it is now, and it was completely unable to push Moldavia into a desperate situation.

And he has watched Moldavia's performance over the years! Several governors have been replaced, but the country is always in chaos. Today there is an explosion here, and tomorrow there is a rebellion. I have been going back and forth for several years. What does this mean?

At least it shows that none of these Moldavia nobles are fuel-efficient!

I'm afraid that without Grand Duke Constantine's New Deal, these people would still make trouble whenever they should, and they would never stop!

If this behavior is left alone, there will be only one consequence. Russia's control over Moldavia will become weaker and weaker. These bastards are likely to become emperors or mountain kings, maybe in more than ten years. They should be clamoring for complete autonomy, let alone being able to control them.

What Nicholas I hated most was local snakes like Moldavia who refused to obey control and orders. He would never allow these people to mess around!

In his opinion, the fundamental reason why Moldavia is in such chaos is that these nobles are all good things. They cheat and play tricks all day long, take advantage when they can, and then don't want to take any responsibility. Where can this be? Plant something good!

Especially after Grand Duke Constantine rolled out the wartime rationing system, he understood the situation in Moldavia more clearly. This was a group of old nobles who were unwilling to lose their interests. If If you don't teach them a lesson, they will only become more and more rampant and lawless in the future.

So even though Nicholas I didn't like Archduke Constantine's new policies, let alone his method of liberating the serfs, he admitted that this method was perfect for dealing with those troublemakers in Moldavia!

And look back and see what Count Uvarov said. He actually gave these guys a pat on the back, saying that they were forced to rebel by Grand Duke Constantine, and that the new policy was the culprit.

Isn't this nonsense?

Therefore, Nicholas I deliberately killed Count Uvarov's army and said that the New Deal could be abolished. As long as the rebels immediately handed over their weapons and surrendered, he would immediately return Moldavia to the state before the New Deal.

Sure enough, Count Uvarov hesitated immediately and started rambling. Obviously, this condition was not enough!

But for Nicholas I, since you rebelled under the banner of opposing the New Deal, I would be making the biggest concession by abolishing the New Deal and returning everything to the past. But you are still not satisfied. I am afraid that your rebellion is not just against the New Deal. This is a drunkard's intention and not in the bar!

This also made him start to examine the role of Count Uvarov in the Moldavia rebellion. There was something wrong with this old guy at first glance!
