A heroic young man from the second aristocracy who does not want to go to college and is engaged in educating the children of serfs.
This was probably the first impression Tolstoy left on Duke Mikhail. Anyway, Duke Mikhail was speechless and in pain. If possible, he would want Lao Toto to go see a doctor and see.
Is there a mental problem?
There are so many inexplicable ideas, a hammer here and a stick here and there, what are you going to do?
Anyway, Duke Mikhail thinks that Lao Tuo is a naughty kid who will not grow up. His mind is full of too many fantasies and his outlook on life and the world are problematic. It is best for such a person to stay as far away from the army as possible. Joining the army will definitely
Is a troublemaker.
However, Tolstoy, who had little experience, did not realize that his military dream had just begun and he was sentenced to death by Duke Mikhail. He was still talking about his ideas endlessly, as if today he was not here to apply for a job but to give a speech.
, came to persuade Prince Mikhail to accept his ideas.
In this regard, Tolstoy is indeed very immature. He was an impetuous young man who had no real estate. He said whatever came to his mind and did whatever he wanted. His vision for the future was always beautiful, but he had a serious lack of understanding of difficulties.
.
"Have you received any military training?" Prince Mikhail suddenly asked.
Tolstoy was obviously stunned. He had never thought about similar issues before he wanted to be a soldier. Because in his understanding, being a soldier was not just about finding someone to intercede with, then changing into a uniform, and then getting one.
gun, and then you can show off your skills.
Tolstoy never thought about military training, but he did know how to shoot. When he was at his ancestral home in the countryside, he and his eldest and second brothers often went to the woods to hunt pheasants and geese. So he knew how to shoot, and his marksmanship seemed to be good.
passable.
In addition, when they were young, their brothers often played role-playing games with the children of the serfs. The children of the serfs acted as the French invading army, and their brothers played the heroes of 1812 like Sergei Volkonsky, and often cosplayed war games.
These should be considered military training, right?
Duke Mikhail breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Tolstoy would directly reply that he had received military training, which would be very difficult for him. Fortunately, this naughty kid has only played military play house, which is really great.
.
"My young friend!" Prince Mikhail tried to sound more kind and kind, "this is not enough!"
"War is cruel. Not only do you have to learn how to fire a gun, but you also have to shoot accurately. The most important thing is that you have to receive training...otherwise you will be at a loss when you join the army. I can't bring someone who is...unprepared for anything.
On the battlefield, that is not only irresponsible to you, but also irresponsible to other young men..."
Tolstoy was a little disappointed. He really wanted to be a soldier and wanted to change his idle life. But at the same time, he also felt that Duke Mikhail's excuse was reasonable. He did know very little about war and the army. It could almost be said that
I don’t understand anything. I’m really not suitable for going to the battlefield like this, and I’m really not responsible enough.
"Thank you for your candor and responsibility, Duke, I think you are right!" Tolstoy said gratefully: "I really need to strengthen my military training. I am not yet a qualified soldier now. I will redouble my efforts."
Try to meet the standards as soon as possible!”
This answer made Prince Mikhail feel relieved. He finally got rid of the naughty boy. In a few days, this guy with a mind full of fantasy will forget about joining the army and will never bother him again.
It can only be said that Duke Mikhail did not understand Tolstoy very well. He was really stubborn. If he was determined to become a soldier, he would definitely do it!
"Dear Duke, as a veteran, you must be very good at military training. Am I lucky enough to be able to conduct military training under your command?"
Prince Mikhail felt as if he had eaten a fly. One second he thought he had gotten rid of the naughty boy Tolstoy, but the next second the naughty boy had stuck to him in a more annoying way.
Looking at Tolstoy with a light beard on his long sideburns and lips, Duke Mikhail began to reflect on whether he had been deceived by his honest appearance. Is this boy pretending to be stupid on purpose?
Tolstoy, who was looked at repeatedly by Duke Mikhail, did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed, nor did he feel that he had done anything wrong. His face was filled with sincerity and his eyes were shining, like a cute creature.
But this cute creature does not make Prince Mikhail find it cute, but rather annoying. If he could, he would punch this cute creature hard in the face and give it a big panda.
Eye.
It's a pity that Duke Mikhail can't do this. Tolstoy's background is too strong, so strong that he has to give face. Even if he doesn't beat this guy but just refuses his request that sounds very reasonable, tomorrow's noble
Rumors and rumors about him being unkind will spread in the circle.
Prince Mikhail hated being the object of gossip, so he had to force himself to reluctantly agree to the cute creature's request, allowing this naive guy with unfashionable fantasies to join his staff, and he had to give him a beautiful title of adjutant.
The thought of having to face the mentally ill Tolstoy every day gave Prince Mikhail a headache and felt that his life had become gloomy.
[Hey! God! Why did such a bad thing happen to me! 】
Just when Duke Mikhail was reluctantly preparing to swallow the bitter drink, Leonid walked in and asked: "Uncle, who is this gentleman?"
Duke Mikhail pretended to be overjoyed and introduced "enthusiastically": "This gentleman is Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy. He is a passionate... full of... full of motivation
What a great boy. You two will be closer together in the future!"
Even Leonid could hear the insincerity in Duke Mikhail's words. He seemed to have searched his brains to come up with the appropriate comment. There was a look of constipation on his face, and he was really miserable.
Leonid didn't have as much resentment as Duke Mikhail. In fact, he was driven here by Li Xiao. They basically listened to the conversation between Tolsto and Duke Mikhail next door.
, then he was rushed over by Li Xiao, and someone suggested that he could provide Tolstoy with military training.
Leonid neither admired nor despised Tolstoy. He just thought Tolstoy was a bit strange. However, he still admired his desire to become a soldier and escape from the leisurely aristocratic life, and he was not opposed to providing him with services.
Give the other party a chance.
What makes Leonid wonder is why his uncle refused to allow Tolstoy to join the army, and was even reluctant to give him a chance for military training. In the past, wasn't he quite happy with such requests from nobles?
"You can come to my regiment to receive military training. It just so happens that my army will carry out large-scale winter training recently. You can receive training with the young men of our regiment. Earl, I promise to provide you with the most comprehensive and rigorous training.
