Yermolov really had nothing to do with Mikhail Gorchakov. He felt that he was already shameless enough, but when he met this junior who was even more shameless than him, one head was bigger than two.
, I can only raise my hands and surrender.
Of course, a very important reason why Yermolov surrendered so easily and happily is that he also wanted a serious status. After all, although he now holds the title of artillery general, he does not
No authority.
Not only did Yermolov have no soldiers, but more importantly, he didn't even have a channel for serious talk. If it weren't for a group of old colleagues, old friends and old subordinates who bought face, otherwise he would be completely on the edge.
Become a passerby.
This is naturally what Nicholas I wanted to see. He just wanted Yermolov to completely disappear from people's eyes and be forgotten forever.
So as soon as Mikhail Gorchakov said that he was going to be given the title of consultant, the old gangster immediately became soft-spoken and soft-footed, just because this title of consultant means that he can express his voice openly!
And this is tantamount to scratching Yermolov's itch, otherwise do you really think that the old gangster's thick and black learning is in vain?
This dinner was a very harmonious one for both the guest of honor and the guest. Yermolov could accept Mikhail Gorchakov's little request, and he was just teasing her.
For Lazarev, it’s worth it just for the title of consultant!
[Who made you ignorant and take the initiative to give me a consultant title? I deserve it! 】
This is probably the truest thought in Yermolov's heart. However, probably because of the troubled times, the meal between him and Mikhail Gorchakov happened again at the end.
situation.
"Duke, General Mark Mikheyevich wants to see you!"
Mikhail Gorchakov, who was angry with a certain fool, naturally waved his hand and said: "No! Tell him that I am entertaining the old General Yermolov and I have no time to rub my teeth with him for the time being!"
What he said was so domineering. Anyway, Yermolov sounded a little unhappy. He secretly wondered if he was too polite to someone. Otherwise, why would this guy be getting more and more excessive and even send away a brat like Mark?
I have to use his name.
Before Yermolov could speak, Mikhail Mikhailovich took the initiative to explain: "Old general, you don't know how ignorant this idiot really is, and the troops he leads are a piece of shit.
That's all, I emptied all the warehouses...and now you are still shamelessly asking to see me, what the hell!"
Yermolov was also surprised. Although he had seen the bad atmosphere in the Russian army, it was unheard of for someone to be so weird. Even if you want to make money, you have to have a degree, right?
, you even dare to take action in the battle that Nicholas I paid so much attention to. Damn it, what else do you dare not do?
"That old eunuch's upper beam is crooked and his lower beam is crooked!" Ermolov sighed, and then asked: "Aren't you surprised why he suddenly asked for an audience so late?"
Mikhail Gorchakov replied disdainfully: "This is not the first time that he suddenly asked for a meeting late at night. He was always prepared to give money and things before, and this time will definitely be no exception!"
Yermolov nodded and said nothing more, because after all, he was only a consultant who had not yet taken office. He was not suitable to comment on these things. He could just deal with the salmon on the plate honestly.
However, Mark's difficulty was unexpected. Soon the adjutant came back. He said with a grimace: "Duke, General Mark is not sure about leaving. He said that he has extremely urgent matters to inform you!"
Mikhail Gorchakov frowned. It was obvious that he was a little unhappy. He had never seen such an uninterested person. He had already said he would not see you several times. If only you had self-awareness.
You should just get out or resign voluntarily, why bother being like a fly!
Mikhail Gorchakov was a little hesitant: [Should we have a showdown with this guy directly?]
Ermolov wiped his mouth and said, "Do you want me to step aside and let you talk alone?"
If it were in the past or someone else, Mikhail Gorchakov would have really agreed to Yermolov's suggestion, but Mark Mikheyevich really broke through his bottom line and made him
This man couldn't bear it anymore, so he thought for a moment and said decisively:
"No, it's not something that can't be said. It's good for you to be here!"
"Please come in, General Mark!"
Within a moment, Mark Mikheyevich rushed in with an anxious look on his face. He came in such a hurry that he was almost out of breath.
"General, you must seek justice for me!"
As soon as he met Mikhail Gorchakov, Mark Mikheyevich started shouting without even saying hello to Yermolov. This made Mikhail's impression of him even worse.
Oops, a traditional aristocrat like him is very particular about etiquette, how could he be so ignorant of the rules!
"Pay attention to your manners!" Duke Mikhail couldn't help but teach him a lesson, "How can you look like a soldier or a nobleman like this!"
But this was of no use to Mark Mikheyevich, because this man still cried so loudly: "General, there is nothing I can do! It's really Vladimir Alexievich.
Kornilov has gone too far, and Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev has repeatedly indulged his disciples. This is to frame our brothers and drive us to death!"
Duke Mikhail was confused and didn't know what Mark was talking about. He immediately stamped his feet and yelled: "What are you talking about? Tell me clearly from the beginning!"
It turned out that on Izmail's side, after a period of interrogation and evidence had been collected, Balyakov and Kornilov made a decisive move and directly arrested Mikhail Mikhailovich.
And this news must not be hidden, so Mark naturally knew it. And he certainly couldn't sit still and wait for death, but he knew that crying and complaining to Lazarev was useless. On the one hand, he immediately wrote a letter to Myanmar
Shikov asked for help, and on the other hand, he rushed to Mikhail Gorchakov to demand justice.
To be honest, this choice is a bit weird, because Mark doesn't look like an idiot. He knows that Duke Mikhail doesn't want to see him and is unlikely to help him get justice, so why does he come?
The reason is very complicated. The first reason is that Mark is not very popular in the Black Sea Fleet. Except for his lackeys, no senior general is willing to help him. The second reason is that he is confident that Duke Mikhail will not sit back and watch him.
