Chapter 167: Ming people do not speak secret words (1)
In Muravyov's view, adhering to chivalry is not a bad thing. Sometimes it is even appreciated and admired, but chivalry also has limits. Maintaining the necessary chivalry under certain circumstances is the most basic conscience of being a human being.
and moral bottom line.
For example, soldiers cannot roam the countryside like gangsters, let alone rape women. When dealing with enemies, such as those who are injured and surrender, you still need to treat them and give them a way to live. You cannot kill and capture prisoners.
.
This is reasonable chivalry. But Leonid’s chivalry is pathological in every sense. He even bothers to carry out sneak attacks for the sake of so-called fairness. This is too mechanical and dogmatic and unreliable.
And Muravyov is a very flexible person. His fighting style is really unpredictable. When should he resist forcefully, when should he run away, and as for guerrilla attacks, he can easily catch them.
Anyway, there is only one thing in his mind, which is to make the enemy uncomfortable no matter how hard it is, and he will never stick to dogma or the so-called chivalry.
For a person as smart as him to have to deal with a dull subordinate, it's hard for him to tell his true feelings!
"Is it really that dull?" the old man asked reluctantly.
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "He is even more rigid than you think, especially when facing an enemy he considers to be a weak enemy. His stubbornness and rigidity can drive you crazy!"
Muravyov licked his lips. He was thinking about whether to take over Leonid's mess. It wouldn't be too late for him to tell Nicholas I about his illness now, right?
Of course, this is just a thought. Muravyov knew very well that as long as he dared to complain about illness this time, he would never think of doing anything again. With the character of Nicholas I, he would definitely keep it in his heart.
If Muravyov is disobedient, then never use him again and leave him idle until he dies.
Muravyov has not yet planned to disband and return to his field, so he has to take over Leonid's mess. Suddenly the old man asked with a bitter face: "He is a good friend of the Grand Duke, how about you and Speransky
The count helped me to talk to him and let him..."
Before the old man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiao with a wry smile: "General, it's useless. If he is willing to listen to our persuasion, do you think we will still have a headache?"
Muravyov was speechless for a while, and then said after a long time: "Then is there any way to make him less stubborn?"
Li Xiao continued to smile bitterly: "Unless you can convince him..."
Muravyov was speechless again, and said to himself: "If I can convince that guy, do I still need to ask you for advice?"
"Okay," the old man sighed again and said sadly, "I'll try my best to find a solution. Let's not talk about it for now. Apart from these situations, what else do I need to know about Wallachia?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and replied: "Except for me, Count Speransky and other relevant personnel in Wallachia are reliable, the rest are unreliable, especially those local nobles in Wallachia, even if they can speak better than they can sing.
Don’t believe it even if it sounds nice, the only thing they can trust is that they are completely unreliable!”
This conclusion once again surprised Muravyov, because he felt that the situation in Wallachia was pretty good, and he felt that Alexey and Li Xiao managed the country obediently, not to mention giving orders, at least
