Facts have proved that Dmitri's judgment was accurate. When he chose to stand still, the rebels actually relaxed their vigilance and even had a small-scale involution.
The reason is very simple. With the fall of Kalaras and with the wartime rationing system vigorously implemented by Grand Dukes Dmitry and Constantine, the Moldavia nobles behind the rebellion inevitably panicked.
As their land and food were completely confiscated, especially as the wartime rationing system was implemented in an orderly manner so that poor peasants and serfs could have enough to eat, the enthusiasm for rebellion was naturally greatly reduced.
After all, no matter who it is, as long as they have a full stomach, they are not willing to cause trouble.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xiao and Alexey helped Grand Duke Constantine truly start to divide the land equally, which made a large number of Moldavia serfs even more happy. After all, their only dream for generations was to have their own land.
Land for free people.
For a time, they had no hope of this dream, but as more and more of the old aristocratic land that supported the rebels was confiscated, the first round of land distribution and serf liberation began with great fanfare.
Especially when this news spread, the whole of Moldavia was in a sensation. Although Grand Duke Constantine had previously announced to the country that he would liberate the serfs, the tricks he made on the food issue really hurt Moldavia greatly.
Davia poor heart.
Most Moldavia thought that Grand Duke Constantine was just talking big words or even lying. Many people directly said that Grand Duke Constantine enriched his own pockets under the pretext of liberating the serfs.
Anyway, Grand Duke Constantine's reputation was so bad that Moldavia basically gave up hope in his so-called liberation of serfs.
No one thought that under this background that the whole country was not optimistic about him and even looked forward to his downfall, the liberation of the serfs had really begun, and it was not going smoothly!
This makes many people with ulterior motives feel that their brains are insufficient, and they can't figure out why?
Actually, the reason is very simple. Grand Duke Constantine did have too many small calculations before, and he was indeed prepared to achieve his ulterior goals by liberating the serfs and carrying out reforms.
His original plan was to severely crack down on the Moldavia nobles who did not support and follow him, confiscate their lands and liberate their serfs. Those who were willing to obey him and follow him would be a symbol of
Make a sexual gesture and show some meaning.
Anyway, liberating the serfs was not his real purpose, but to completely control Moldavia.
It's just that his plan was aborted when the whole country rebelled in Moldavia, and there was no way it could come to fruition.
And as almost all Moldavia's nobles and landowners stood against him, he realized that it was impossible to control Moldavia by recruiting one group to another.
And the overall situation in Moldavia has almost collapsed. All the old aristocrats and all the old aristocrats are against him. In this way, he will definitely have to drink a bowl of water or cut it across the board.
In desperation, Grand Duke Constantine truly began to liberate the serfs. He had "no desire and no desire" and could only follow a fair and just plan to completely clean up the old order of Moldavia.
It can only be said that this is an unintentional intervention, or it can be regarded as a mistake.
However, this also meant that Grand Duke Constantine stood on the opposite side of the old Moldavia aristocracy, which meant that he had to completely dismantle the old system, so that he would never be able to go back or reconcile.
"I'm afraid Your Majesty will not be happy if you do this." Viscount Prozolov warned carefully.
Didn't Grand Duke Constantine know that his father would be very unhappy if he messed with him like this? If this was in St. Petersburg, he would have been called to the imperial study and scolded.
But Grand Duke Constantine also knew that even if his father was unhappy, he could only bite the bullet and carry on, because if he didn't do it, he would die.
Li Xiao had talked about this topic with him before, and Li Xiao told him very rudely: "Kostya, it is rude to say that you are already a bad street in Moldavia, and your credibility has been completely discredited. From the nobles to the serfs, there is no one like you."
People will no longer believe you, and no one will support you."
"Now it's useless even if you kneel down and surrender to those old nobles. With the support of Count Uvarov, they don't need to talk nonsense to you. They will just attack you without hesitation until they destroy you!"
"The only thing you can fight for now is the serf class. You can only make a determination to truly liberate them and confiscate the land of the nobles and distribute it to them for free. Anyway, you don't need to make a move. It can not only attack the nobles who oppose you, but also
In exchange for their heartfelt support, with their support, your volunteer army will never be able to move out of the city like before. They will even warmly welcome you and help you deal with those old nobles!"
At first, Grand Duke Constantine didn't quite believe it, but after trying it, he found that the situation had indeed changed. In the past, his volunteers were hated even in the suburbs of Chisinau, and they often did not wait for his troops.
After entering the village, all the people in the village ran away.
But now, his troops were welcomed after entering the village. The poor farmers and serfs were looking forward to his people coming soon, hoping to have enough to eat and get their own land.
It can even be said that after his people leave the city, they are no longer blind or deaf. There are people everywhere who are willing to provide him with intelligence and movements of the rebels. It is completely clear where there are rebel activities and who supports the rebels!
"If I mess up in Moldavia, not only will my father be angry, but the old nobles who are hostile to me will also take advantage of the opportunity to kill me. Anyway, it is inevitable that my father will be angry, so I can't let those enemies succeed, can I?"
"
Viscount Prozolov hesitated to speak, but there are really not many better options in the current situation. If Moldavia continues to be in chaos, or even Chisinau is lost again, then Grand Duke Constantine will definitely be in trouble forever.
Turn over.
But if the situation can be reversed by liberating the serfs, although Nicholas I will be unhappy afterwards and the conservative forces will be more hostile, there is still a chance.
"I just feel that the plan to confiscate the land of the nobles and distribute it to the serfs for free is too radical. After all, Wallachia has not done this, but they suggest you do this. This seems to be harboring evil intentions!"
Grand Duke Constantine smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it is with evil intentions. How could Andrei and Alexei have good intentions towards me? But at the moment, besides doing this to save the situation, is there any better way?"
Viscount Prozolov hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "But...even if there is no other way, it is still a bit too much..."
