Struggle in Russia

For Duke Mikhail, he doesn't have much willingness to continue playing on the battlefield now. It's not that he is afraid of death, but that he has already made too many meritorious deeds, and there is no need to continue to work hard for meritorious deeds to cause trouble for himself.

Some people may ask, isn't merit good? How could it be asking for trouble?

It is definitely a good thing for ordinary people to make contributions, but Duke Mikhail is not an ordinary person, he has already made contributions. If you think about his current status, he is both a duke and a field marshal, and he is one of the best soul figures in the current Russian army. He is so awesome, what merits and deeds can he make?

For him, achievements are cumbersome and useless. Given his family background, it is absolutely impossible for Nicholas I to give him the title of prince. After all, he has a brother who is a duke. Holding real power is already a bit of an eyesore, and having the title of Prince would be a bit of a distraction!

Duke Mikhail is very self-aware, he knows that the marshal is his destination, and it is probably useless to continue to work hard. Unless he can establish unworldly meritorious deeds, but is unworldly meritorious deeds so easy to do? Don't be sure that the boat will capsize in the gutter at the end of the festival!

What's more, since he is so prominent, he must give some opportunities to the young people behind him, and he must always give others a chance to stand out. He is so old and wants to compete with young people for opportunities, which will be hated!

Blocking other people's access in the officialdom is the revenge of killing father and wife, and will be hated for a lifetime. Duke Mikhail doesn't want to be targeted by those wolf-like young people behind him. Even if these young people may not be able to threaten him in his life, he still has children and a bunch of descendants who want to make a living in Russia. People can't clean up the old ones and can't teach the young ones?

Duke Mikhail has seen too many short-lived prominent figures die in desolation. Why can't their descendants achieve the achievements of their ancestors and finally disappear or simply sink? In addition to the limited IQ ability of later generations, a very important reason is that there are too many enemies.

Think about it, your poor descendants are not as capable as you, and are still missed by so many people, will life be easier then?

Only someone from a big family like Duke Mikhail who has maintained wealth for several generations understands the truth that too much is too much. Their kind of family doesn't seek to reach the peak of power for a while, that doesn't make much sense, what's the use of being prominent for a few years or ten years?

Si minus bxw x. co Si. What they pursue is to be able to mix into the upper level of the pyramid for generations. They don't have to stand at the highest position, but they must definitely be in the first group. Therefore, when they are doing things, they will not choose to go to extremes. If they can make good connections, they will make good connections, and they will spare no effort to support and win over allies.

As the saying goes, one fence, three stakes, one hero and three gangs, even if the descendants are less capable, as long as they have a good relationship, they will always be dragged by the nobles, and they can always maintain a relatively decent position. And as long as the generations are not useless, as long as there are a few people with online IQ every now and then, then the position will be stable!

So Duke Mikhail is really not interested in continuing to make contributions in Bulgaria. On the contrary, he thinks it is a hot potato, and he has no interest in grabbing it at all. You can see that the veterans in the army are very interested in it, but he always keeps his mouth shut, and he doesn't take the initiative to fight for it at all. Instead, he hides when he can.

It's a pity that Nicholas I, a tsar who firmly believed in veterans, could not hide from Duke Mikhail. He could only try to divert the hatred of the young generals away. He asked Aldo The Duke of Husband discussed this matter.

"If there is going to be a war, I guess I can't avoid it, although I really don't want to go!" Duke Mikhail sighed and said distressedly: "But if I go, there will definitely be people who will be jealous and say Strange words will incite a group of young people to be hostile to me, which makes me very embarrassed!"

Sacrifice shucang.cc Sacrifice. Duke Aldorf did not feel that Duke Mikhail Versailles,

He can understand what this old friend is worrying about. It is a big taboo in the officialdom to stand in the way of old disrespect. Why he seeks to escape from the third part is actually because of this.

"How about you learn from Nesselrode?"

Duke Mikhail smiled wryly again, and sighed: "Fake illness? Haven't I pretended enough? I've been calling myself sick since I came back from Hungary. There are only a few names, and there is no way to hide!"

The Duke of Aldorf also felt the same way. Nicholas I will always only believe in the people he wants to believe in. Even if these people are getting older and changing day by day, he still accepts this dead truth.

Prince Mikhail continued: "What's more, I don't know if and when the war will break out. I can't stay sick all the time!"

Duke Aldorf let out a sigh in his heart. This is indeed a trouble. Pretending to be sick also requires means. Timing is very important. If you choose to pretend to be sick at the wrong time, not only will you not get what you want, but it will backfire.

Look at the current Nesselrode, that is a negative example. The old fox was originally planning to pretend to be sick, but who would have thought that Nicholas I would directly draw his salary from the bottom of the pot to prevent him from continuing to intervene in the negotiations with Turkey.

This is tantamount to driving him out of the game. On the issue of Bulgaria and Turkey, he, the prime minister, can do nothing but stare blankly. This is also tantamount to declaring that his previous new diplomatic strategy has completely failed, and may even endanger his position as prime minister.

Prince Mikhail didn't want to end up like Nesselrode, so he couldn't decide whether to pretend to be sick, so he was entangled.

"I don't think feigning illness is of any use to you!" Duke Aldorf expressed his opinion bluntly, "Once an irreplaceable position like ours chooses to pretend to be ill, it is tantamount to giving His Majesty an eye salve." , Your Majesty will think that you are expressing dissatisfaction or negotiating conditions with him, and it will be strange if there is a good result!"

Duke Mikhail hesitated: "Then I'll go? But if I take the initiative to ask for Ying, maybe the position of commander is really mine. Can those juniors with green eyes let me go?"

Mi He Mi. Duke Aldorf sighed: "So you go back, but don't be too proactive. It's best to push the position of commander-in-chief to Paskovich and let him top the tank!"

Prince Mikhail smiled wryly: "Do you think Paskovich is a fool? How could he be willing to do it if he was allowed to top the tank without actually commanding him!"

Duke Aldorf smiled mysteriously and said, "He has to do it if he doesn't want to. Do you think it's up to him to choose?"
