Struggle in Russia

However, the big bosses at the top of the pyramid are not the focus of Li Xiao’s attention for the time being. Even if these big bosses want to do, it will not affect Wallachia for the time being. On the contrary, the moves made by some people who are closer are closely related to Wallachia.

The so-called closer people naturally do not refer to the Turks, but the so-called Orthodox Slav brothers in Bulgaria and Moldavia next door.

On the surface, these two are allies or friends with Wallachia, and they should help each other, but isn’t there such a thing as a pig teammate? Unfortunately, both of these have some pig teammates.

Let’s talk about Bulgaria first!

For the time being, they still belong to Turkey, the Grand Duchy under Turkish rule, but they are actually puppets. It’s just that with the decline of Turkey, the Bulgarian aristocrats have already thought about it. This time Nicholas I was so determined to make a fuss about the Bulgarian issue. A large part of the credit is due to them.

It’s just that the gap between these Bulgarian aristocratic groups and the lower-class civilians is a bit big. The aristocratic groups desperately want independence, because it is good for them, at least they can be the masters of the house.

But for ordinary Bulgarians, independence or independence is just the same thing. Although they also desire national independence, if independence requires sacrificing their rights and even their lives, then they will think more about it.

To put it simply, for the Bulgarian people, they are eager to be independent, but they are not going to die. Even a lot of people think that they can live a life under Turkish rule, so the desire to fight is really not strong.

This also caused the ideology of the entire Bulgarian country to be torn apart. In short, the main anti-Turkish forces in Bulgaria have not been mobilized, and it is not very meaningful to rely on a few upper-class nobles to wave their flags.

It is a pity that neither the aristocratic ruling classes in Bulgaria nor the Russian radicals headed by Nicholas I are aware of this. They thought that as long as they waved their arms, the Orthodox Christians across Bulgaria would be mobilized and killed themselves with Turkey.

Unfortunately, this is really a delusion. Therefore, when the Bulgarian aristocracy was desperate for status and independence, the lower classes were very cold, and almost no one came out to respond.

It stands to reason that the Bulgarian aristocratic group should see this situation in their hearts, but they don’t think so at all. On the contrary, they think that the reason why the people are indifferent is that their momentum is not strong enough and they have not exerted sufficient publicity effect. Bxwx

So on the one hand, the Bulgarian nobles stepped up their propaganda and agitation. On the other hand, in order to cheer up the people in the stagnant pool, they also kept making some big moves, such as assassination of high-ranking Turkish officials in Bulgaria, such as public demonstrations and protests against Turkey. , Or even simply entangled with a group of thugs smashing, looting and destroying.

This series of behaviors did let the international community see the turmoil in Bulgaria, as if the independence movement was in full swing. But let’s be honest, doing this is also to stir the nerves of the Turks and push them into the corner. Sacrifice as tianlaixsw.com

That is, Nicholas I constantly wielded a big stick and stood on the Russian-Turkish border to make Turkey dare not openly attack Bulgaria, otherwise it would definitely make these Bulgarian aristocrats who do not know good or bad hemorrhage.

To make matters worse, Turkey’s restraint and tolerance have made the Bulgarian aristocratic group more arrogant and proud. They mistakenly thought that Turkey was really a paper tiger and did not dare to gnaw their teeth at their Russian masters. Things are getting out of line every day.

In the first two months of the fall alone, Turkish local officials in Bulgaria were assassinated no less than ten times, seven or eight mayors were killed, and a high-ranking official was seriously injured. In the last few days of October, these Bulgarian nobles simply Shocked the border city of Grand Flanovo and declared that the city was transformed into an autonomous city!

This is Hongguoguo’s provocation. Your armed forces seized power and declared autonomy. Although it is only a small and small city, if your example is spread, other cities in Bulgaria will follow suit, it does not mean that it is a direct subversion. Did you end the rule of Turkey?

Naturally, it was impossible for the Turks to accept this result, so after the incident, the garrisons in the two cities of Ruse and Silistra immediately marched towards Grand Franovo from two directions, with more than 10,000 troops. The troops soon approached the city and surrounded the Grand Vlanovo.

It can only be said that Turkey is more restrained, because with their strength, they can directly enter and wipe out all the insurgents. But what they restrained is just encircling, and then shouting to the city, demanding that the so-called autonomous government surrender immediately, as long as they surrender, they will guarantee that they will not hurt their lives~www.wuxiax.com~ To be honest, this is very restrained. But the “turbulent party” in the city didn’t know which of them was wrong, or simply relied on being close to Wallachia and having a Russian father as the backer, it really did what he wanted.

They directly shot the messenger for Turkey’s entry into the city, and hung his body directly on the city hall for public display. He even ridiculed the Turkish army outside the city with disdain, and that arrogant and domineering thing would make smoke even if someone else saw it.

To tell the truth, this is too much. It is the most basic principle that the two countries should not be cut off at war. What’s more, you are a rebellion. The army outside is much stronger than you. What arrogant capital do you have?

Naturally, the Turkish army outside the city was enraged, but the Turks only used the most restrained means to fight back. Turning the sky around, the Turkish army began to violently shelling the outposts and bunkers of the “rebels” in the city, pulling out most of the nails without much effort.

At this time, the Bulgarian nobles in the city were a little flustered. On the one hand, they hurriedly asked Wallachia for help. On the other hand, they continued to intimidate the Turks by saying that their rebellious behavior was popular and approved by Russia!

Needless to say, it naturally stabbed a big basket. Because Russia has indeed never agreed, at least including big figures such as Alexei or Menshkov who have not promised anything. At most, the Bulgarians were encouraged by some guys in Russia who were afraid of the world and misbelieve some lies that are not true and false. Mi He Mi

Anyway, once this incident involves Russia, the nature of the matter will definitely change. The Turks are also a little bit awkward. They can only ask Britain and France for mediation on the one hand and loudly protest Russia’s gross interference in Turkey’s internal affairs…
