Struggle in Russia

Chapter 391 Insidious

Not continuing to talk about this sensitive issue made the atmosphere a lot better, at least Anton felt a lot more relaxed, because if Li Xiao insisted on persuading him to express his position, he would probably be troubled and entangled.

On the one hand, Li Xiao was right before, and he was kind to him, so he couldn't ignore other people's opinions. But on the other hand, he really couldn't agree with the other party's line, he felt that it was too beyond cognition.

Fortunately, Li Xiao didn't continue, otherwise Anton really didn't know what to do. So after changing the topic, he immediately relaxed, and asked with a smile:

"Why did you come to Kiev all of a sudden? The problem over there in Chisinau has been resolved?"

Li Xiao gave Anton a meaningful look. He could see Anton's relaxation, and he also knew why the other party felt relaxed, which naturally made him a little depressed and irritable. He could only suppress these negative feelings and pretend to be relaxed and replied:

"Forget it, that old guy Uvarov is getting more and more crazy, and he has already done a little bit of tricks to deal with Grand Duke Constantine and us!"

Anton asked curiously, "What did he do again?"

Li Xiao smiled wryly, and then explained what happened in Moldavia.

Facts have proved that Count Uvarov is indeed very powerful. Don't look at him being burned by Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao in Ukraine, but he didn't put all his hopes on Shuvalo from the beginning Count Husband.

In other words, apart from Count Shuvalov, he has too many pawns in his hands. These people may not be as difficult and powerful as Count Shuvalov, but they are no more powerful and harmful than Shuvalov. How much younger is Earl Love.

For example, according to the arrangement of Earl Uvarov, his troops in Moldavia united a group of local nobles to do things, and when Grand Duke Constantine was in Kiev, he didn't care about Moldavia's affairs. First, they incited riots and started the mode of beating, smashing and looting.

In some small and medium-sized cities, Count Uvarov's people caused a lot of riots, such as burning granaries, attacking Russian garrisons, and assassinating some government officials and local nobles who did not deal with them.

In short, there are many patterns, and they bloom at multiple points. Dozens of cities large and small in Moldavia launched an attack together. Maybe the things in each city are not too big, nor did they cause too much loss, but the momentum is indeed. Not small.

It makes outsiders look like Moldavia is completely out of control, or that the new governor, Grand Duke Constantine, can't control the situation at all.

Needless to say, this is eye salve for the Grand Duke Constantine,

It is implying that Nicholas I means that Grand Duke Constantine is not capable enough to take on the duties of governor.

Of course, if it was just like this, it would be too childish. No matter how disappointed Nicholas I was with Grand Duke Constantine, it would be impossible for him to slap himself so quickly and replace Grand Duke Constantine who had just taken office for only a few months.

In fact, this is an appetizer. The old thief Uvarov's calculation is not so simple, because his real purpose is not Grand Duke Constantine, because he knows that it is unrealistic to get rid of Grand Duke Constantine.

Uvarov's real purpose was to go to Wallachia, or to Alexei and Li Xiao. After all, although Grand Duke Constantine is the star spokesperson of the reformist faction, he has not made any achievements in reform for the time being.

However, what Alexei and Li Xiao did in Wallachia was different. They really did something. Although the serf system in Wallachia still existed in name, it had already existed in name only.

This was unbearable for Uvarov, but he tried to attack Alexei several times without success, which made him realize that he had to use another method.

So he deliberately made the above scene in Moldavia, but in fact these people are not the point, the point is that he deliberately added Wallachia factors to these scattered riots.

He ordered his subordinates to make trouble in the name of learning from Wallachia's advanced experience and carrying out new reforms in Moldavia. In other words, these rebels made trouble after learning from the good example of Wallachia.

This is very insidious!

Regardless of how well Alexey managed Wallachia, the secret reform strategy seems to have been acquiesced. But in fact, Uvarov knew that Nicholas I was particularly sensitive to this, that is to say, Wallachia's position and status were relatively special, so he didn't say much for the time being.

But if you let Nicholas I promote the advanced experience of Wallachia, it is completely impossible, and even strongly disgusted.

Li Xiao and Alexei also knew this, so they kept making a lot of money without exporting their experience. And this time the insidious Earl Uvarov is going to use this to make trouble. He is going to help Li Xiao and Alexei output a round of advanced experience, and then Nicholas I will naturally be furious, and he will definitely not let Ah Lexey continued to be a monster, and he might completely deny Wallachia.

In that way, Count Uvarov could easily get rid of the serious problem in his heart, and he didn't need to pay any decent price at all, wouldn't he be happy!

Count Uvarov's scheme was very insidious, but it wasn't too late for Li Xiao to discover it, so he immediately left the Kiev matter to Anton, and immediately rushed back to Bucharest to start dealing with the conspiracy.

To be honest, this is not easy to deal with, because Moldavia is the territory of Grand Duke Constantine, and their presence there is very low, let alone crossing the border to help Grand Duke Constantine rebel. With Duke Constantine's petite personality, it's strange that he agrees!

However, Li Xiao is not stupid. Since Grand Duke Constantine is unreliable, he can't quickly eliminate these bastards with ulterior motives by simply and directly suppressing them. Then we can only use conspiracy against conspiracy to see who is more shady.

Li Xiao knew as much about Nicholas I's personality as Uvarov did. He knew that apart from the Revolutionary Party, the emperor's main concern at the moment was Turkey, Britain and France. If you want to divert your attention, you can only make a fuss about it.

Li Xiao secretly manipulated it. Before the riots in Moldavia occurred, Alexei gave an early warning to St. Petersburg, saying that a group of Moldavian rebel parties bought by Britain and France were secretly operating and preparing for reform. Under the guise of creating riots in Moldavia, in order to overthrow the existing regime in Moldavia.

One can imagine how Nicholas I would react when he received the warning. Anyway, although the riots happened, Uvarov's goal was not achieved at all...
