Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 555: Wonderful Flower (Part 2)

Dmitry was shocked again. The ordinary human brain circuit would never have such thoughts. How could he expect Moldavian dignitaries to rebel? What are the benefits of this?

But he immediately thought that it might be good for Grand Duke Constantine.

Do you think about the trickiest thing about Grand Duke Constantine coming to Moldavia as governor? It’s still these Moldavian bots who don’t listen to their orders.

If you want to really control Moldavia, you have to deal with these gangsters and let them obediently obey the command. That’s why he hurriedly formed a volunteer army, and tried every means to pull one faction and fight another faction.

It’s just that because of Wallachia’s non-cooperation, some of Constantine’s plots unfortunately fell through. If it were not for the outbreak of war, I am afraid that these Moldavian dignitaries would soon unite to make trouble with him, and his old son Nicholas I would also give him a severe lesson and ask him why he behaved like this. .

Archduke Constantine was fortunate to wait for the war to break out. Everything must make way for the war. This not only made the Moldavian dignitaries who want to do things not dare to act recklessly, but also made him feel that the war is serious. Under the background, the importance of Moldavia has greatly increased, and even St. Petersburg will be more tolerant of him governing Moldavia.

As a result, Grand Duke Constantine’s courage is naturally getting bigger and bigger, and he can do things that he didn’t dare to do before, such as reforms!

He is indeed a pragmatic reformer. He feels that since Alexei and Li Xiao can make a lot of money through half-hearted reforms in Wallachia, then he is not going to take off with the full version of the reform!

Grand Duke Constantine believes that as long as reforms are carried out, all bottlenecks and problems restricting the development of Moldavia will be overcome, and Moldavia will also become more and more prosperous day by day.

And Moldavia wants to carry out a thorough reform. The obstacles and stumbling blocks are those with vested interests. They must be wiped out for the reform to proceed smoothly.

Before the war broke out, Grand Duke Constantine was a little bit helpless with them, but as soon as the war broke out, he felt that an opportunity had come. At this time, he didn’t know how to clean up those guys, and no one would dare to make irresponsible remarks to him.

Therefore, Grand Duke Constantine actually hoped that these Moldavian dignitaries would jump out and rebel, so that he would have sufficient reasons and excuses to clean them up. Naturally, he disapproved of Alexei’s warning at all.

As for the Count of Uvarov, the Grand Duke Constantine was not so arrogant that he did not put it in his eyes, but he felt that the Count was old and confused. He even dared to be at the time of war, when the status of Moldavia was very important. Isn’t it a gift for someone to make such a faint move?

Both of them have long been displeased, and the hatred has long since been forged by Liangzi. Grand Duke Constantine felt that this time he and Count Uvarov would calculate the ledger with Count Uvarov, even with the old and new hatred. The earl knew he was not easy to mess with.

So for Count Uvarov to get involved in this matter, he was not only not anxious, but very happy, and even a little eager to try. He thought that in Moldavia, this home court could give Count Uvarov a profound lesson.

Objectively speaking, it is not surprising that Grand Duke Constantine made such a choice. He was originally a spoiled child, and he was also selfish enough. In a sense, he was of the same kind as Count Uvarov. People, in order to achieve the goal without compromise.

It is quite scary for such a person to become mad and will do anything regardless. Now Grand Duke Constantine is just ensuring his interests according to his ideas.

It’s just that, maybe ten or twenty years later, he will be more comfortable doing the same thing. Now he is too immature, and he is not an opponent of old foxes like Count Uvarov at all.

For example, now Grand Duke Constantine underestimated the terrible nature of the enemy, and the Moldavian dignitaries he despised were much more powerful than he thought.

“Are the National Army ready?”

“Everything is almost ready, as long as you give an order, you will immediately turn back!”

“What is the situation of the Volunteer Army?”

“It’s fairly stable, all important facilities in Chisinau are under its control.”

“It doesn’t matter, that was originally expected.”

“The great prince thought that he took control of Moldavia when he took control of Chisinau. It was naive! It’s time to tell him who is in control of Moldavia!”

Just when the Grand Duke Constantine was standing in Chisinau, ready to wipe them out at the first time the Moldavian dignitaries rebelled, something that made him stunned happened.

The rebellion did happen, but not in Chisinau, but in other areas except Chisinau and the control of the Russian garrison. A large number of the National Army suddenly turned back and declared that it would no longer accept orders from the Governor of Moldavia under the banner of opposition to reform.

In an instant, 70% of Moldavia’s cities and towns changed their flags, making the already poorly functioning traffic routes even worse!

It can be said that the traffic on this side of Moldavia is completely paralyzed, and no materials can pass through from Russia anymore, making Wallachia’s originally not full material reserves become more and more precarious.

All this naturally aroused the great attention of the Russian army and the Grand Duke Constantine. The former immediately reported to St. Petersburg about the incident in Moldavia, hoping that the country will solve this trouble as soon as possible. Otherwise, the logistics will really collapse.

After the latter spent the first period of ease, he soon discovered that the problem was more troublesome than he thought.

After the Moldavian National Army rebelled, Grand Duke Constantine immediately mobilized the Russian garrison and volunteer troops to counter the rebellion. In the area around Chisinau, they quickly recovered some towns because the National Army did not. Confronted them head-on and fled before the rebels arrived.

The initial victory made Constantine think that the rebels were vulnerable, but soon reality gave him a resounding slap. When his counter-insurgent army drove to the next city, these newly regained towns were very difficult. It was soon reoccupied by the “bandits” and “National Army” who made a comeback.

He had to order the troops to turn around again to solve these problems, but when the counterinsurgency troops came back again, these rebels would run away in advance.

So after a few tossings, he could only order the Russian and Volunteers to divide their forces to guard the restored town. Only in this way, although the restored towns around Chisinau have been consolidated, it also made the already limited Volunteers and Russian garrisons unable to continue their rebellion and were trapped in a small area around Chisinau…
