Naturally, the mayor of Kherson explained clearly to Shuvanov the previous confrontation between Muravyov and Belkh. After speaking, he did not forget to make his position clear: "This
The special envoy has no idea why he is so crazy. He is trying to make things difficult for General Berkh without saying anything for no reason. His behavior has seriously affected the normal operation of the Black Sea Fleet and is simply an unforgivable crime!"
Shuvanov frowned even more tightly, because knowing that Commander Belkh was about to step down, he would never think that the special envoy would deliberately make things difficult for Belkh for no reason. He thought that it was very possible that there was actually something between the two.
There is a causal relationship, or it could be that the special envoy knew in advance that Belcher was going to fall, so he made things difficult.
However, Shuvanov did not just make up his mind, but thought deeply for a while, and soon he found that there were still problems with this logic. If Muravyov knew that Belkh was going to collapse, he
As soon as he went to create trouble, the problem came. He knew the itinerary of Muravyov and his party, and had accompanied Muravyov and his party in Kiev before.
Based on this time, unless Nicholas I had already decided to remove Belkh from his post when Muravyov left St. Petersburg, he would never have been able to make things difficult for Belkh.
Obviously, the causal relationship between Muravyov making things difficult for Belkh should be that Muravyov made things difficult first, and then Belkh fell later. But that would be a bigger problem, because according to this inference, Muraviyov made things difficult first, and then Belkh fell behind.
When Raviyov made things difficult for Berkh, he did not know that he had already collapsed. He just deliberately made Berkh unhappy!
Shuvanov once again felt something was wrong - why did Muravyov have to be unhappy with Belkh? I never heard that these two people had an old grudge? If there was no hatred, Muravyov made things difficult for Belkh.
What is the reason for He?
Shuvanov didn't quite believe that Muravyov was the mastermind behind Belkh's downfall. Because he felt that Muravyov was not that capable, but he confirmed one thing: Muravyov was probably with
This matter is directly related.
So he asked: "Has this special envoy done anything else recently?"
You ask him why he didn't ask about the outcome of this confrontation? It's very simple. A smart person like him knew that Belhe was defeated just by listening to the mayor's words, and it was probably a complete defeat. If Belhe won,
This person's tone should be pleasant and playful with a hint of teasing. He should be sarcastic and ridiculing Muravyov, instead of constantly complaining about Berkh like he is now.
"It's not like it's just a nasty fly that can't be driven away!"
【Not leaving yet?】
Shuvanov had another guess in his mind. He felt that the fundamental reason why Muravyov did not leave was that he had not received news from St. Petersburg and did not know that Belkh had collapsed. If he had known about it, he would not have been interested in continuing to make trouble.
, there is no need to beat a broken drum to death!
This made Shuvanov somewhat reassured. This showed that Uvarov's arrangement still worked. He was able to inform Belkh before Nicholas I's imperial edict, allowing him to prepare early, which at least allowed him to
The defeat on my side was not so complete.
So after he casually dealt with the mayor, he asked him to help him get ready and set off as soon as possible. Soon, the next day, Shuvanov and his party changed into fast horses and continued galloping southward for another four days.
It's time to finally arrive in Sevastopol.
Looking at the shadow of Sevastopol on the horizon, Shuvanov took a deep breath. He knew very well that the final moment of this journey had arrived, and whether he could achieve a decent result depended on today.
"Load your gun, unsheath your sword, and get ready for battle!"
Shuvanov issued this order with a stern face, not because someone came to intercept him, but because he was cautious and felt that if the enemy really had any conspiracy or means, the last leg of the journey would be a real one.
He would also take advantage of the moment when his vigilance was down when he arrived in Sevastopol to make a fuss.
Shuvanov and his entourage, armed with live ammunition, arrived at Belcher's residence without any danger. This somewhat surprised him, as if he had made preparations, but in the end found that the enemy had no intention at all, and that his efforts were in vain.
However, this kind of emotion only lasted a moment in Shuvanov's mind. He immediately readjusted his mentality and went directly to call the door: "I am Count Shuvanov from Kiev. I have something extremely important to ask."
Meet Commander Berhe immediately and please report!"
The news of Shuvanov's arrival was notified to Belkh as soon as possible, but it took several hours because Belkh was accompanying Muraviev outside for inspection.
What, you asked him why he personally accompanied him again, didn't he avoid it before? The reason is very simple. Belkh found that if he didn't accompany Muraviev three times, five times, five times, two times, he could deal with those who were trying to make a name for themselves.
Subordinate, after all, I am a special envoy.
Having him by his side can help share the pressure on his subordinates, at least preventing them from being beaten by Muravyov. At least after spending the past two days personally accompanying him, he has gradually felt that he can withstand Muravyov's fierce offensive and is almost able to fight.
It's open at 50-50.
This was an encouragement to Belkh. He felt that as long as he continued to persist for a while, Muravyov would soon have no more moves. And as soon as the latest order from St. Petersburg arrived, he believed that Muravyov could only be defeated.
Slipping out of Sevastopol.
Just when Belcher was rejoicing, his butler sent him a strange message, telling him that Shuvanov had arrived.
Berkh naturally knew Shuvanov's status, and he did not dare to neglect him. He did not bother to continue to accompany Muraviov and returned home immediately. It should be said that Berkh was not particularly nervous at this time. He felt that Shuvanov
My husband came either to convey instructions from Uvarov or other conservative bosses or to complete some tasks, or to tell him the latest good news in St. Petersburg, maybe to recall this bastard Muravyov!
When he happily walked into the house and saw Shuvanov's worried face, he was surprised. Then when Shuvanov explained his purpose and handed over the secret letter, he was even more surprised.
My scalp is numb!
He was so frightened that he could no longer care about Muravyov. He was so upset by the news that he was about to be dismissed that he almost fainted.
"How could this happen? How could this happen!"
Belkh muttered as he opened the secret letter, eager to know what instructions Uvarov had, but when he saw the content of the letter, he was dumbfounded...
