Struggle in Russia

That Nikolai Milyutin would nominate Li Xiao and Alexey was somewhat beyond the expectations of Prince Vorontsov and Grand Duchess Irina.

After all, someone had just done all this shit, forcing them to go around helping spread their ass.

No matter how you look at it, you should give someone a little color and let them know that there is a price to pay for reckless behavior.

If you let someone in now, wouldn't it make him more arrogant?

Nikolai Milyutin spread his hands and said: "Of course I don't like what someone is doing. I deeply hate this kind of behavior that ignores the overall situation! However, someone is indeed very foresight, and his opinions are of great help to us. .Looking at the overall situation I think it’s necessary to listen to his opinion.”

Prince Vorontsov and Grand Duchess Irina were neither surprised nor surprised. Because Nikolai Milyutin is such a person. He puts his whole body and soul into the cause of reform, and basically serves the public.

This is also the reason why he can still become the leader of the reformists in name even though he has many problems. His personality charm is here, and only he can glue together the scattered reformists.

"Okay, then it's decided."

Duke Vorontsov and Grand Duchess Irina have no personal grudges with Li Xiao. The reason why they did not nominate someone was also due to the situation. After all, if this news gets out, it will be equivalent to putting someone on the fire.

Suddenly, after receiving the notice, Li Xiao and others arrived at the meeting place as scheduled, which was actually Grand Duchess Elena's salon.

They were not the only ones who came to attend the meeting. In fact, the salon was packed with people and was not an ordinary bustle.

Basically, all the prominent reformists in St. Petersburg came, but most of them were just joining in the fun.

Because the real meeting will not be held in the salon, but in the private reception room in the back.

Here Li Xiao met the famous Chernyshevsky and Dobrolyubov. The influence of these two people is not ordinary. Later, several mentors of the Russian revolution highly praised these two men, especially Chernyshevsky.

Let’s put it this way, the enlighteners of the Russian Revolution were the Decembrists and later Herzen-Ogarev. It was only after Chernyshevsky carried it forward that the Bolsheviks became famous.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Dobrolyubov and Chernyshevsky is not generally good. In fact, they have not known each other for a long time, and the age gap is not small. One is in his early twenties and the other is almost thirty years old, but after they met, they became friends. Hitting each other at first sight influences each other and complements each other.

It is a pity that Dobrolyubov died young due to jealousy of talent, otherwise his achievements would have been even greater.

But for Li Xiao, he wasn't particularly excited to see these two people. He had traveled back in time for several years and had seen a lot of famous historical figures, so the novelty had long since disappeared.

On the contrary, most of the historical figures he had seen lived miserable lives trapped in historical circumstances and the overall situation. For example, Chernyshevsky and Dobrolyubov, their political demands were always suppressed, they were tight-knit, and they were always ready to fight.

To be honest, it is quite tiring to live and communicate with them.

What's more, in the eyes of these two people, he, the grand duke of the Romanov family, is probably a target of revolution, and their impression of him is probably not particularly good.

At least it can be seen from the state of these two people after entering the living room that they are very wary and uncomfortable.

This is very interesting. The atmosphere within the reformists is actually not as harmonious as imagined. It can be said that the extreme left # and the extreme right # are completely incompatible with each other.

People like Chernyshevsky are considered extreme leftists, while Li Xiao can be considered a rightist.

If these two groups of people are put together, I'm afraid they will start to quarrel first. Anyway, after they meet, they feel somewhat like enemies who are extremely jealous when they meet.

Of course, this is for Chernyshevsky and Dobrolyubov. For Li Xiao, he has no objection to these two people and even has a little admiration for them.

It's just that it's a personal relationship. When it comes to business matters, for the sake of interests, you should naturally talk and scold. There is no price to talk about. It's purely a matter of butt deciding the head.

"You all already understand the situation, so I won't say more. What needs to be discussed now is whether it is necessary to further expose the various crimes of Duke Baryatinsky. This is related to our strategy for the next stage. I hope you will Speak freely.”

As soon as Grand Duchess Irina finished speaking, the youngest Dobrolyubov immediately jumped out: "I have no objection to exposing Duke Baryatinsky's crimes, but I always think that this is not the most important task. Our The focus should be on promoting reforms rather than getting entangled in these bureaucratic matters. I think we should immediately come up with concrete steps for reforms and launch a pilot in Ukraine as soon as possible!"

His opinions actually represent the consistent policy of the left # . This party is completely uninterested in the trivial matters in the officialdom. They want to focus more on the strategic issues of reform. It is best to take practical steps immediately and follow them immediately. .

It’s just that anyone with a little brain knows that this is unrealistic. Without distinguishing themselves from the conservatives and gaining power, there is no way to carry out reforms.

Naturally, the current market for their set is very small. Basically only influential among students and intellectuals.

Duke Vorontsov has always disliked people who just talk regardless of reality, and immediately retorted: "Even if there are concrete steps now, how can they be implemented? Without His Majesty's order, no reform can be carried out in Ukraine. If it cannot be To force His Majesty to submit, even if you come up with the blueprint for the Kingdom of Heaven, you still won’t be able to realize it!”

As he spoke, he lectured: "Young man, you'd better be realistic and don't talk empty talk. If you can't get actual power, you won't even be qualified to talk!"

Dobrolyubov was not convinced: "When you talk about gaining power, do you mean to play with power and engage in shady conspiracy like a bureaucrat? With all due respect, I think this is using one's own shortcomings to take advantage of others' strengths!"

Duke Vorontsov suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Then tell me what to do now. Let me see where your strengths are!"

Dobrolyubov replied politely and confidently: "Our strengths represent the trend of the times and are welcomed by the people. We should further promote progressive ideas, awaken and mobilize more people, and let more people Rally around us.”

Prince Vorontsov sneered: "Then what? Waiting to be surrounded by police and gendarmes and then catch them all and send them to Siberia?"
