Cuza's prediction was accurate. The seizure of the arsenal became the trigger for Bucharest to fall into chaos. After Jan Constantine made a very bad start, various forces in Bucharest began to fiercely rub and annex each other.
For example, Barbu Kataljiu, who suffered a mute defeat in the Revolutionary Committee, quickly ordered his National Guard to test the surrounding areas, annexing several dissident forces and occupying a lot of territory.
Even if the Revolutionary Committee issued a statement of condemnation, it was no doubt that the thunder was louder than the rain. Soon everyone began to expand their territory and strength in the same way, and Bucharest became a hunting ground for big fish to eat small fish and small fish to eat shrimps.
"Damn it! What happened!"
Ionescu soon discovered that the situation was not good. Several small forces that had previously been attached to him were swallowed up in an instant, and appeals to the Revolutionary Committee were of no use. In desperation, he could only find Constantines.
Library.
"If this continues, there will be chaos in the world! Several comrades in the party have lost contact, and soon these bastards will get us!"
Constantinescu also discovered this bad trend. Nowadays, the political prestige in the past is no longer easy to use. Everything has to rely on strength. If someone under your command has a gun, they will respect you. Otherwise, they will directly treat you as you.
It's air.
He rubbed his temples and replied helplessly: "Now you either have to have the support of troops and have guns in your hands to maintain your status; or you have to rely on giants like Jan Constantine or Barbu Cataljo.
Seek their refuge. There is no other way out!"
As he spoke, he asked in frustration: "How many National Guards do you have?"
Ionescu replied: "Two or three regiments! These are all following orders!"
Constantinescu also counted on his fingers: "The ones I can directly command are Cuza's brigade and Ravens' independent regiment. Together we can probably protect ourselves!"
Constantinescu did not say that they would seek refuge with Jan Constantine or Barbu Cataldiu, because this option did not exist at all. If they were willing to be puppets or yes-men, they could take this path. Obviously they did not
I am willing, so I can only sign up for a group tour to keep warm.
Upon hearing this, Ionescu immediately said: "Then don't be stunned, contact Cuza as soon as possible! By the way, Cuza seemed to have said that he had assembled more than 20,000 militiamen a few days ago. This is a big help!"
At this moment, even Ionescu realized the importance of the barrel of a gun. No one is nothing without a gun. He began to be glad that Cuza had made a mistake before.
Constantinescu was also lucky, but he was also a little worried. After all, the result of the last chat with Cuza was not very pleasant. Both he and Cuza were dissatisfied. And now he was slapped in the face instantly.
, Kuza’s judgment is accurate, it is too important to mobilize the masses to arm themselves.
Although he knew in his heart that he was wrong, Constantinescu couldn't lose his face. After all, in his heart, Cuza was just a follower and a younger brother. The younger brother could just make his own decisions, and now he could actually slap him in the face.
Moreover, he has to fawn over this little brother, which is so unpleasant!
But after all, Constantinescu is in the political arena, and his face has long been invulnerable to all poisons and oils and salts. Isn't it just a shame? If you lose it, you will lose it. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. As long as it can be done
What does he have to worry about if he retains his position and temporarily loses face?
So without saying a word, he took Ionescu to Cuza's headquarters and found Cuza directly.
"My friend, I come to apologize to you!" Constantinescu said to Cuza apologetically: "What you said last time was very correct. You should mobilize the masses to arm themselves, so as to protect the revolution and protect the country.
Wallachia...But before, I didn’t understand your good intentions and said you were wrong. Now it seems that I have made a judgment, and I did make a mistake. I apologize to you!"
Ionescu was shocked. On the way before, he had advised Constantinescu to have a good chat with Cuza and it was best to admit his mistakes. At that time, the grandson was coy and embarrassed, but he did this well at that time.
He didn't open his mouth and took the initiative to help prepare the apology. Who would have thought that it would not be the case once he arrived at the scene? Look at the sincerity of this grandson, and there is no hint of reluctance. He is as sincere as coming to the door to apologize, okay?
Ionescu admired Constantinescu's acting skills, but Constantinescu disagreed in his heart: [Where is this? If it is not that the acting effect is too exaggerated and seems exaggerated, otherwise
Can he take it to the next level?】
Cuza seemed to be moved, and kept saying he didn't dare. Then he respectfully invited Constantinescu in, served him good coffee, and said: "Who doesn't make mistakes? Just correct them if you know they are wrong.
Well, my friends, now you also think that mobilizing the masses is the way out, right?"
Constantinescu and Ionescu looked at each other. They knew what the devil was doing to mobilize the crowd. They only knew that the scholar had no reason to explain when he met the soldiers. They were coming to Cuza to ask for soldiers. But they couldn't do this.
To put it bluntly, what if Kuza gets annoyed and ignores them.
The two men could only reply with smiling faces: "Yes, it seems that it is still necessary to mobilize the masses to arm the people. Without the support of armed forces, we simply cannot defend the revolution and Wallachia!"
"Especially now, in this complicated situation, we need the support of the armed forces even more, otherwise the revolution may fail immediately!"
After saying some clichés, Constantinescu finally explained his purpose: "My friend, I believe you have heard that Barbu Cataljo and some greedy villains are trying to destroy domestic unity and harm their comrades.
Fire. In order to prevent him from continuing on the wrong path, it is necessary for us to unite and resist his illegal actions!"
Kuza nodded and replied calmly: "I have also heard about the internal strife. It is indeed necessary to unite to resist their illegal activities."
Ionescu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "So we decided to gather all the National Guards and militia to temporarily control part of the west of the city. One is to scare Barbu and others, and the other is to maintain the west of the city.
What do you think of the normal order?"
Kuza nodded again and said slowly: "There is no problem in maintaining order in the west of the city. I also agree. My troops are already stationed in the west of the city and do not need to be mobilized much. I think there is no problem..."
At this point, Kuza paused deliberately, and then expressed his request: "It's just that passive defense is not an option. What if Barbu Kattar remains stubborn for a long time? So I think we should call on the comrades.
How about having a meeting together to unify our thoughts?"
