The person who came to Kuza was his fellow Moldavian Mikhail Kogelniceanu. He was born in Iasi, Moldavia, and studied in France and Germany. He was also a revolutionary in Moldavia.
One of the important leaders of the movement.
What is slightly different from history is that after the revolutionary movement in Moldavia was basically suppressed, he did not flee to Bukovina, but went directly to Wallachia with Kuza.
Slightly different from Kuza, Kogelniceanu is doing better than Kuza. After all, this brother is engaged in social science, specializing in history and literature, and is very good at street speeches, so
This person actually infiltrated the Revolutionary Committee. Although he is not very powerful, he can still be considered a small leader.
Previously, Kogelniceanu also placed his hope for revolution on the foreign father, but in the past few months, the nonsense of Jan Constantine and others has disappointed him. As for the ineffectiveness of the foreign father, he has been disappointed.
It made him heartbroken.
Heartbroken, he was very pessimistic about the future of the revolution and believed that it was completely impossible to achieve the independence of Moldavia and Wallachia relying on foreign support at present.
For a while, Kogelniceanu was quite discouraged, or in other words, desperate. Anyway, he was not very optimistic about his future but was unwilling to go abroad to escape, so he just stayed there and felt depressed.
It was not until a few days ago, when thousands of people came to the streets and made angry calls, demanding a fight to the end with the Russian invaders, that Kogelniceanu suddenly discovered that the future of the revolution did not seem so pessimistic.
, even though the entire Bucharest elite was in chaos, the people of Wallachia did not back down!
This shocked Kogelniceanu greatly and re-injected vitality into his ashen heart. He felt that since the general public, who had always been regarded as ignorant people by the elites, all went to the country together, it would be difficult to defend the country with death.
determination, then what reason do these elites have to be cowardly?
So Kogelniceanu came out again and began to campaign widely. He called on more elites to join him and stand with the people, and together they would defend the independence and freedom of Wallachia with their own flesh and blood.
It's just that there are too few elites like Kogelniceanu. More elites believe that even if all the people of Wallachia are in arms, they are no match for Russia. They believe that without foreign intervention, the revolution will inevitably fail.
Since this is already a predetermined outcome, why bother mobilizing the people, and why put your head in your belt to fight?
This made Kogelniceanu very disappointed, and he particularly despised these so-called elites, because he knew very well that the fundamental reason for these people's unwillingness to fight was not only the fear of death, but also the loss of their own interests.
If you think about it, if these guys try their best, they will definitely cause a lot of casualties to the Russians. With the bearish temper of polar bears, they will definitely take revenge after suffering a loss. After they come back, they will definitely liquidate the families of these elites.
This is still one aspect, but more importantly, these so-called elites are actually old-style landlords or, to put it more unpleasantly, serf owners. They control a large amount of land and enslave tens of thousands of people. You let these guys mobilize widely
Do you think they are not worried about the people who were enslaved by them? After the mobilized people take up arms, they will not only beat the Russians but even take them with them!
Especially the latter, this is what the elite landowners are most worried about. After all, the arrival of Russia is just a change of a more brutal master, and their social status will not be greatly affected.
But when the mud-legged people took up arms and rebelled, that was subversive, and that meant destroying their roots, okay?
Naturally, this group of landlord elites will definitely not do it, so to hell with any attempt to mobilize the masses. Anyone who dares to mention this is an enemy more ferocious than Russia. Then you must be killed before dealing with the Russians.
It is a pity that neither Kogelniceanu nor Kuza realized this. They only realized that the people's support was available, but did not realize the class antagonism. They expected to use simple patriotism to persuade the exploiting landlords to give up everything and stand with them.
Being together is simply impossible!
Of course, they did not realize this at this time. So when Kogelniceanu heard that there was a fellow Moldavian who held similar political views to him, he immediately became interested and decided to find Kogelniceanu.
Let's have a good talk.
"Have you participated in the uprising in Moldavia before?" When Kogelniceanu heard that Kuza had played a role in Moldavia, he felt even more favorably and said kindly: "I was
I also participated in the uprising, but unlike you, who could lead the soldiers to fight head-on with the Russian lackeys, you could only do a little propaganda work..."
Kogelniceanu’s introduction undoubtedly made Kuza feel more cordial. First of all, he is a fellow Moldavian, and he really felt like meeting his relatives in the “foreign land” of Bucharest. Secondly, Kogelniceanu
Nu had participated in the uprising in Moldavia. He was a staunch anti-Russian and naturally a good comrade.
Fellow fellows and comrades, what else is there to say? Serve sauerkraut... serve vodka!
After drinking for three rounds, the two of them started chatting. They started to rant about Bucharest's elites. Suddenly, they were so in harmony with each other that they felt that the other was a confidant!
"These guys are so funny... I told Constantinescu and Ionescu before about mobilizing the masses. What do you think these two idiots said? They were actually worried about Jan Constantine and Kattar Jiu
The suppression... the country is about to be destroyed, and they are still worried about such a trivial matter! It is simply ignorant!"
Kogelniceanu was also dumbfounded. He had only heard that Kuza sympathized with the people and asked to stand with them, but he really didn't expect that Kuza had already done persuasive work for senior National Party officials. It seemed that they were better than him.
He is even more determined, which really impresses him!
"Indeed!" Kogelniceanu said sincerely, "If we don't arm and mobilize the masses, the Provisional Republic of Wallachia will definitely be doomed! It's a pity that the idiots in the Revolutionary Committee are simply stubborn. What can I say?
They couldn't even listen to it. I told them many times that changes must be made, but they would rather wait to die!"
"You think so too!" Kuza was surprised. "You also agree that all the people should fight against the Russians?"
Kogelniceanu replied firmly: "Of course we have to fight! Even if we can't defeat them, we can't let them succeed easily. We have to tell them that Wallachia is not delicious fat, but a piece of meat that can destroy them."
