Struggle in Russia

Why is it that Peter Volkonsky has no role in appointing the prince through his military exploits, but there is room for him to be promoted to marshal? Does it mean that you don’t need military exploits to be promoted to marshal?

Objectively speaking, whether it is to be a prince or to be promoted to a marshal requires first-class military exploits. It is not impossible to become a prince or a marshal through nepotism, unless you are the son of Nicholas I. For example, the two younger brothers of Alexander II, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich and Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaevich, were promoted to marshal together with Alexander II in 1878.

But Peter Volkonsky was obviously not the son or the illegitimate child of Nicholas I, so the hope of nepotism is definitely not going to work.

That is to say, the only possibility for Peter Volkonski to be promoted to Marshal is to have his qualifications, and he must endure until Nicholas I and his officials cannot bear it. This may not be absent, but it is definitely not very big, I am afraid it is very It is possible that there will be no drama until the year he died.

For example, in history, this blunt person did not expect to come to the rank of Marshal until the end of his life in 1850, which is a year or two. Not to mention pitiful, but it is definitely not easy enough.

The Duke of Alexander knew very well that Peter Volkonsky had two wishes left unfulfilled in his life. One was to wash away Sergey Volkonsky’s humiliation and help him get back the duke’s title and previous titles. honor. The second is to find a way to be a marshal or to comfort the ancestors and ancestors in a beautiful manner.

So if you go to have a good chat with Peter Volkonsky and try to reach an agreement with him, such as agreeing to push him when he is promoted to Marshal, this old guy really has the possibility of letting go.

The thought of Duke Alexander’s heart suddenly heated up, and he persuaded this old man, with the help of Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine, there might be real hope for promotion!

It’s just that he just heard someone say that there are two people who are particularly important, and who is the other person who has a personal relationship with your Majesty?

“The other key person is Count Klein Michl. As your Majesty’s most trusted friend, regardless of his status is not particularly high, he can speak very usefully at certain times!”

Duke Alexander was shocked again, not because he didn’t know the status and importance of Count Klein Michl, but because he knew too much about the importance of that one. The question was how cherished one was. ?

Listening to Li Xiao’s tone, he was very clear about the twists and turns in the court, which could explain too many problems. Because these things are not always clear to the old ministers, how did he, a little kid who was rejected by Nicholas I, managed to be clear?

Duke Alexander was very puzzled because he did not know the relationship between Li Xiao and Count Rostovtsev. Li Xiao did not know the secret relationship, but Count Rostovtsev knew too well, and the count knew very well. What was the problem encountered by the Duke of Alexander and Duke Mikhail at this time, and in order to realize his own plan, he also deliberately pushed it.

If it was before he wanted to remind the Duke of Alexander to notice these key figures, it would not be easy. But with Li Xiao, the situation is completely different. He can use Li Xiao’s mouth to remind the Duke of Alexander.

Of course Count Rostovtsev also thought that Li Xiao’s performance might scare Duke Alexander, but he thought it was also good. Because improving Li Xiao’s position in the Duke of Alexandria group is also good for him, the higher Li Xiao’s position, the more prominent his influence on the group, and Li Xiao can play a greater role when necessary in the future.

Duke Alexander was really taken aback, he had to re-examine the role and importance of Li Xiao. If all of the above were discovered by this young man himself, then he is really amazing, and he is simply born into officialdom.

Any group of young people who have vision and means like this will not let go, especially the relationship between Li Xiao and Leonid is very good, which is more worthy of the Duke of Alexander.

Sure enough, the Duke of Alexander’s attitude towards Li Xiao immediately changed. Although this change is not the kind of earth-shaking, it can still be clearly felt with a close touch. At least Li Xiao felt it right away. This made him have to admire the foresight of Count Rostovtsev. The old guy was almost accurate. Everything in Russia was basically under his control!

This also made Li Xiao deeply jealous of the earl. Although the earl has a friendly relationship with him for the time being, who can guarantee that this friendship is permanent? If one day the interests of the two sides are inconsistent and turn their faces, you dare to win the battle against such a monster who is so intelligent and close to monsters?

Li Xiao didn’t want to block his luck, and he didn’t want to pin his hopes on illusory friendship. He is more willing to keep his hands on everything and prepare for the worst first, so as not to be caught off guard and overwhelmed.

So this time, although he acted on the orders of Count Rostovtsev, he also kept an eye on him. He suddenly said to Duke Alexander: “Although Duke Peter Volkonsky and Klein Michl The count is very important, but I still think that if you can persuade either Count Uvarov and Count Rostovtsev, the effect will be better, UU reading www.uukanshu.com especially Count Rostovtsev , I always feel that I can’t see through this earl, he always gives me a very dangerous feeling!”

The Duke of Alexander glanced at Li Xiao. He didn’t understand why Li Xiao suddenly mentioned Count Rostovtsev. Although he didn’t think he could see through the Count, he didn’t think it was particularly dangerous, because the Count had a great deal of power. His desires are very shallow, and he usually does things on the basis of facts. Where is the danger of such a person?

However, since Li Xiao mentioned such a sentence, Duke Alexander had a little bit of his mind. Although he might not deliberately guard Earl Rostovtsev, he would at least pay more attention.

“It’s too difficult to convince those two.” Although the Duke of Alexander noticed in his heart, he deliberately changed the subject: “I don’t intend to waste too much time on them. I intend to focus on lobbying Archduke Constantine and Alexander. The crown prince, as long as they persuade them, things will be more than half successful!”

This made Li Xiao also admired, because Count Rostovtsev also stated clearly in the message sent by Tola Igor. The focus of this matter lies on Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine. Just persuade With them, things are basically done. And the Duke of Alexander even had such a judgment, can only say that these old rivers and lakes are not simple!
