Yermolov did not have a good opinion of the members of the Romanov family. In his eyes, Nicholas I was a stupid and stubborn conservative, and in his eyes, Crown Prince Alexander was a weak slug. In his eyes, Kang
Grand Duke Standing is a scheming boy.
He didn't think the members of this family were that great or smart compared to other Russian aristocratic elites. He felt that every member of this family was so ordinary or mediocre, with nothing outstanding at all.
Yermolov even thought that Peter the Great was too strong and drank too much, so that all the men in his descendants had problems, either mental problems or neurological problems, and all of them were weaklings.
But suddenly he heard that Lazarev had a high opinion of a certain bastard grand duke, which had to shock him. Because he knew Lazarev's standard of looking at people very well, if it weren't for a certain bastard grand duke who really had two
Brush, that old man doesn’t like it!
"Could it be true that Polish blood can improve the Romanov family's increasingly poor bloodline?"
Yermolov has never studied biology, but he has a strong opinion that the royal family has always been fond of marrying German women. What is so good about the women of the country who are loosely connected and cannot form a country? If you don't see it, the tsar is worse than the previous generation.
After a generation, it is better to marry a purebred Russian woman, at least one who is born and raised and can adapt to the Russian environment.
Of course, there is something wrong with marrying a Polish girl, but although there are all kinds of bad things about foot wipes, the struggle and fighting spirit of foot wipes are still worthy of recognition. Are you a weakling who can't be beaten to death? Although you are annoying, are you still willful enough?
.
Just when Yermolov was considering whether to let his grandson marry a Polish daughter-in-law, his old friend told him: "According to the gossip I heard, Kornilov was very interested in the grand duke.
I’m very satisfied with the performance, it seems like I got some great information! It’s a great contribution!”
For Yermolov, this is a bit like a fantasy novel. He takes a company deep into the enemy's territory to collect intelligence. If he can come back with everything intact, it will be good. He can really get valuable intelligence. This is
Fantasy novel?
Naturally, Yermolov didn't believe it. He felt that this was definitely a lie. He also thought that he had heard too many other people's words and it was time to see the real chapter. Of course, the so-called meeting the real chapter meant meeting Lazarev. He
I decided to ask the old man personally to inquire about Li Xiao's situation and make plans based on the situation.
"Mikhail Petrovich, you didn't expect me to come to you, did you?"
Looking at Yermolov with a wicked smile on his face, Lazarev was really a little bit hurt. He knew very well how "bad" this old guy who was more than ten years older than him was. He had beaten the Iranians in the Caucasus.
He had experienced how difficult this old guy was back then.
[Why did this thing suddenly come? Are Wallachia and Moldavia so exciting? 】
Yermolov seemed to have the ability to read minds. He replied with a smile: "When I get older, I want to see more old friends. The weather in Moscow is not suitable for retirement. I heard that the weather in the Black Sea is pleasant and very nourishing, so I will come."
Got it!"
Naturally, Lazarev didn't believe a word of this nonsense. The climate in Moscow is bad. That means winter. Damn, it's early summer, the most comfortable season of the year in Moscow. At this time, you come to talk about the weather on the Black Sea.
Okay, this is coaxing ghosts!
"You are naturally welcome to come, but now that the war is about to begin, I'm afraid I don't have much time to accompany you!"
Lazarev doesn't have the time to grind his teeth with Yermolov, and even if he did, he wouldn't want to!
It's just that Yermolov didn't seem to hear Lazarev's resistance at all, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all: "It's okay, you can find a few young men to be my guides, and I will make room for you."
Just give me some funds for a comfortable villa, I don’t need you, a busy person, to worry about it!"
Lazarev wanted to scold him: "You just want people to buy houses and money. How dare you be more rude!"
It's just that Lazarev really didn't dare to bart his teeth at the old man, so he could only say with a grimace and a smile: "No problem, I will arrange it for you right now! Keep it to your satisfaction!"
According to Lazarev's idea, it was just a matter of losing money and avoiding disaster. As long as Yermolov didn't bother him, it would be fine, but Yermolov just came to bother him:
"Okay! That's good. I heard that you have some very good young men here. One of them is Grand Duke Andrei Konstantinovich, and there is also a guy named Vishnyak.
Yes, by the way, there is also a big man named Boris, just these three little guys, you can just send them over to help me!"
Lazarev immediately complained, and then realized that a certain old guy had come to cause trouble with him on purpose. He suddenly said angrily: "I can't send any of the three people you want!"
Without waiting for Lazarev to explain, Yermolov immediately "exploded": "What are you talking about? I'm not asking you to send a few generals or colonels to serve you, but only a few captains and lieutenants."
With your face like this, you little guy, you think I’m easy to bully when I’m out of town, right?”
Lazarev's heart was full of criticism. He could bully others, but he didn't dare to bully Yermolov, because the old man had indeed left his job, but his influence was greater than when he was in office.
The entire Decembrist family is thinking of this old man's good deeds. Don't think that the Decembrists have stopped after being exiled. The families of these people are all from aristocratic backgrounds. Although brothers, sisters, relatives and friends are forced to draw a clear line,
But that was an official show, for Nicholas I to see. Privately, the entire Russian aristocracy, especially the elite aristocracy, almost regarded the Decembrists as heroes and idols.
As long as Lazarev still wants to use a few truly capable people to manage the Black Sea Fleet, he must give this old man face, otherwise if he lets this guy go out and make a noise, all those people will have to make him look bad!
Hong Kong Zhen, Lazarev really didn't have the courage, so he could only patiently explain: "How could it be! If these young men were normal, I would have handed them over to you for training without saying anything. That would be their honor.
"
"But it's really impossible now, because they have all gone out to perform tasks, and they really can't leave for a while!"
Yermolov looked calm on the surface, but he was surprised in his heart. Even Lazarev said that these few couldn't leave because they were on a mission. It was really possible that they went to Wallachia.
This is real?
[No, I have to ask clearly and find out what is going on!]
After making up his mind, "Old Rogue" Yermolov complained with his nose and face: "What tasks can a few small officers perform? Why can't they leave? I think you are just fooling me!"
