After receiving Cuza's assurance, Constantinescu also breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he push Cuza to this position because of his busy schedule? It was not to be safer when running away. With this layer of guarantee,
He felt a lot more relieved.
But what Constantinescu didn't expect at all was that Cuza said one thing, but was thinking something else in his heart. He didn't like the escape style of the Revolutionary Committee at all. In his opinion,
If you come to Wallachia and the people of Wallachia are willing to accept it, you can definitely give it a try with the Russians. At least you can't turn around and run away without firing a shot. What's the point?
Now that Constantinescu requires him to control the army to cover the retreat of the Revolutionary Committee, this means that the brigade in his hands must be the closest force to the Revolutionary Committee by then, and it is very likely that it will be one of the personal guards of the Revolutionary Committee.
In this way, as long as the opportunity is right, he can take down the Revolutionary Committee in one fell swoop. As long as he controls the Revolutionary Committee, it won't matter what Kuza says!
As soon as this very daring idea came up, Kuza was deeply attracted. After a simple calculation, he made up his mind!
But if he wants to accomplish this, he cannot do it alone. Although he now has a brigade of men and horses, this brigade does not completely obey him. After all, he has only been working for a few months, and the officers and soldiers
He has not yet been regarded as a real commander, so the top priority is to strengthen control of the troops and place his own people as soon as possible.
So he immediately said to Constantinescu: "My friend, although I am confident that I will cover the Revolutionary Committee and you to break out, my troops are not completely under control. Once the officers and soldiers below know that they want to evacuate Bucharest,
, I’m afraid not everyone is willing to leave! It won’t be pretty if there is a fight!”
Constantinescu had no idea that Cuza had ulterior motives. After thinking about it, he realized that Cuza's troops were entirely formed by farmers around Bucharest. Who would want to leave their hometown all the way?
If you don't want to go far away and don't obey orders, it's really a big problem. If it leads to a mutiny, people are distracted, and then there are polar bears chasing after you, no matter how you look at it, it's all doomed!
He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Kuza secretly laughed in his heart, but replied solemnly on his face: "We have to find a way to insert officers who are of the same mind as us as soon as possible. With officers at the helm, a few stragglers will not make much difference! Let them go east when the time comes.
Never dare to go west!"
Constantinescu glanced at Cuza, a little hesitant. He knew that Cuza meant the person who installed him. In this way, this army must only follow Cuza's lead. Although they have a good relationship, doing this
It seems a bit unsafe!
Just as Constantinescu was about to speak, he was interrupted by Cuza: "My friend, you still can't believe me. With our relationship, how can I still harm you? If we don't control the troops quickly, Bletia will
Brother Nu’s temper may mean that he will have to install close associates, and it’s hard to say who the troops will listen to!”
"Even if the brothers hadn't intervened, others in the Revolutionary Committee would have had similar thoughts. After all, in a chaotic situation, the safest thing is to have reliable armed forces!"
When he said this, Constantinescu was moved. Indeed, in recent times, the big bosses of the Revolutionary Committee have been trying to find ways to win over people. What are they doing for that? One is the right to speak, and the other is a sense of security.
At this time, he didn’t have a gun in his hand and he really didn’t dare to speak loudly. If Cuza hadn’t been a good friend as the brigade commander, Constantinescu would have been really panicked. Especially Cuza mentioned Bratia.
Brothers Nu, those two evil-minded brothers have been trying to bribe officers recently, just in case.
He thought about it and thought that Cuza and he had always had a good relationship, and he also had Enyu Cuza. Cuza would not cheat him, so he acquiesced to Cuza's proposal. And with Constantinescu's
Agreeing, Cuza could finally show off his talents. He immediately began to contact his old troops who had participated in the Moldavian uprising together, asking them to come quickly to help.
On the other hand, Fang also actively promotes leaders among ordinary soldiers. These people are influential and have fighting spirit. The only thing they lack is that they have no aristocratic status and no culture. And Takuza will give them a chance. I think the kindness of promotion should be able to impress them.
There are few people, right?
Kuza's judgment was correct. His two-pronged approach was indeed effective. Soon the remaining aristocratic officers in his brigade were wiped out. Apart from Bucharest peasants who were full of fighting spirit and died with Russia, all the people at the top and bottom were those who had followed Kuza.
The old group that revolted together in Moldavia.
That's called a concerted effort. Although it may not necessarily be able to cut through gold, there is no problem at all with incorrect control. As long as Kuza has a good reason, these people will follow him without hesitation!
Kuza was actively making preparations, and Petukhov and Plachev also took advantage of Shuvanov's departure to quietly find Alexei.
"Colonel, you suddenly ask to see me. Is there any problem?"
From Alexei's perspective, there was only one possibility for Petukhov to come to him, especially if he came to him with Plachev, either to ask for help or for benefits or simply to seek retreat.
Anyway, in his mind, these two people were almost equal to cowards and jerks. If it weren't for Fontana's suggestion, he would have really wanted to give these two some color.
Petukhov glanced at Fontana sitting beside him and said, "Count, I have some more confidential matters that I need to discuss with you alone, is that okay?"
Alexey frowned even more when he heard this. The only person he trusted most in Wallachia was Fontana. How could he let her go away? So he replied without hesitation: "Colonel, you can speak out if you have anything to say."
.Miss Fontana will not reveal any secrets and is completely trustworthy!"
Petukhov was a little hesitant, but Prachev really didn't want to talk in circles anymore, and reminded him in a low voice: "Uncle, don't hesitate, it will be easier if you solve it as soon as possible!"
Petukhov glanced at Alexei and Fontana again, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Your Excellency, Count, do you know His Excellency the Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich?"
Alexey was a little confused. He didn't know why such a question came up. He blinked and replied: "I know, this Grand Duke is my good friend. Is there anything wrong?"
Petukhov breathed a sigh of relief, took out the letter and handed it over: "Your Excellency, this is a personal letter that the Grand Duke asked me to forward to you. Please read it!"
