Not continuing to talk about this sensitive issue made the atmosphere a lot better. At least Anton felt a lot more relaxed, because if Li Xiao insisted on persuading him and forcing him to express his position, he would probably be very troubled and entangled.
On the one hand, Li Xiao was right before, and he was kind to him, so he couldn't ignore other people's opinions. But on the other hand, he really couldn't agree with the other person's line. He felt that it was too beyond cognition.
Fortunately, Li Xiao didn't continue, otherwise Anton really didn't know what to do. So after changing the topic, he immediately relaxed and asked with a smile:
"Why did you suddenly come to Kiev? Has the problem in Chisinau been resolved?"
Li Xiao glanced at Anton meaningfully. He could obviously see Anton's relief and knew why the other person felt relaxed. This naturally made him a little depressed and irritable. He could only suppress these negative feelings and pretend to be relaxed.
replied:
"That's right, that old guy Uvarov is getting more and more crazy, and he is already resorting to unscrupulous means to deal with Grand Duke Constantine and us!"
Anton asked curiously: "What did he do again?"
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and then recounted what happened in Moldavia.
Facts have proved that Count Uvarov is indeed very powerful. Even though he was in trouble in Ukraine by Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao, he did not put all his hopes in Shuvalo from the beginning.
On Earl Husband.
In other words, except for Count Shuvalov, he has too many pawns in his hands. These people may not necessarily be as difficult and powerful as Count Shuvalov, but their energy and harm are no more than that of Shuvalov.
How much younger is Count Love.
For example, according to Count Uvarov's arrangement, his troops in Moldavia united with a group of local nobles to make trouble. Taking advantage of the fact that Grand Duke Constantine was in Kiev and had no intention of taking care of Moldavia's affairs, they
First, they incited riots and started the mode of smashing, smashing and looting.
In some small and medium-sized cities, Count Uvarov's people caused a lot of riots, such as burning granaries, attacking Russian garrisons, and assassinating certain government officials and local nobles who did not deal with them.
In short, there are many kinds of tricks, and they are blooming in many places. Dozens of cities in Moldavia, large and small, have launched an attack together. Maybe the things in each city are not too big, and they have not caused too much damage, but the momentum is indeed
Not small.
To outsiders, it seemed that Moldavia was completely out of control, or that the new governor, Grand Duke Constantine, was completely unable to control the situation.
Needless to say, this was an eye salve for Grand Duke Constantine, and it was a hint to Nicholas I that Grand Duke Constantine was incompetent and could not shoulder the responsibilities of governor.
Of course, if it was just like this, it would be too childish. Even if Nicholas I was disappointed with Grand Duke Constantine, he would not be able to beat himself up so quickly and replace Grand Duke Constantine who had just taken office a few months ago.
In fact, this is the appetizer. The calculation of the old thief Uvarov is not that simple, because his real goal is not Grand Duke Constantine, because he knows that it is unrealistic to get rid of Grand Duke Constantine.
Uvarov's real purpose is actually to go to Wallachia, or to Alexey and Li Xiao. After all, although Grand Duke Constantine is the star spokesperson of the reformists, he is actually temporarily focused on reforms.
I haven't made any achievements yet, I just use my status and loud voice to act as a small broadcast loudspeaker.
But what Alexei and Li Xiao did in Wallachia was different. They really did something. Although the serfdom system in Wallachia still existed in name, it was no longer in name only.
This was unbearable for Uvarov, but he tried several times to attack Alexei without success, which made him realize that he had to use another method. At least, suppression would not work, and he had to play dirty.
So he deliberately staged the scene above in Moldavia, but in fact these people are not the point. The point is that he deliberately added Wallachian elements to these scattered riots.
He ordered his men to cause trouble in the name of learning from Wallachia's advanced experience and launching new reforms in Moldavia. In other words, these rebels were making trouble after learning from Wallachia's good example.
This is very insidious!
Even though Alexei managed Wallachia well, the strategy of secret reform seemed to have been tacitly approved. But in fact, Uvarov knew that Nicholas I was particularly sensitive to this, that is, Wallachia
His position and status were rather special, so he didn't say much for the time being.
But if you ask Nicholas I to promote the advanced experience of Wallachia, it is completely impossible and even strongly objectionable.
Li Xiao and Alexei also knew this, so they kept silently making a fortune without exporting their experience. But this time the insidious Count Uvarov used this to cause trouble, and he was ready to help Li Xiao
After exporting advanced experience to Alexei once, Nicholas I will naturally be furious. He will definitely not let Alexei continue to act like a monster, and may completely deny Wallachia.
In that way, Count Uvarov can easily eliminate the big trouble in his heart, and there is no need to pay any decent price at all. Wouldn't it be wonderful!
Count Uvarov's plan was very insidious, but Li Xiao discovered it before it was too late, so he made a prompt decision and left the matter in Kiev to Anton, and immediately rushed back to Bucharest to start dealing with the conspiracy.
To be honest, this is not easy to deal with, because Moldavia is the territory of Grand Duke Constantine, and their presence there is very low, and it is impossible for them to cross the border to help Grand Duke Constantine rebel. With Grand Duke Constantine’s little belly,
It’s weird that he agrees with his personality!
However, Li Xiao is not stupid. Since Grand Duke Constantine is unreliable, he cannot simply and directly use suppression to quickly eliminate these bastards with ulterior motives. Then he can only use conspiracy against conspiracy to see who is more sinister.
Li Xiao knew the personality of Nicholas I no less than Uvarov. He knew that apart from the Revolutionary Party, the emperor was most concerned about Turkey, Britain and France. If he wanted to divert his attention, he could only start from this
Make a fuss about it.
Li Xiao secretly operated. Before the riots in Moldavia broke out, Alexey warned St. Petersburg in advance that a group of Moldavia rebels who had been bribed by Britain and France were operating secretly and were preparing to carry out reforms.
Under the guise of creating riots in Moldavia, they overthrew the existing regime in Moldavia.
You can imagine how Nicholas I would react when he received the warning. Anyway, although the riot occurred, Uvarov's purpose was not achieved at all...
