Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 590: Is it a bit too much?

"Struggle in Tsarist Russia (

Facts have proved that Dmitry's judgment is very accurate. When he chose to stay still, the rebels really relaxed their vigilance, and even a small-scale involution occurred.

The reason is very simple. With the fall of Karalash, and with the vigorous implementation of the wartime ration system by Dmitry and Duke Constantine, the Moldavian nobles behind the rebels inevitably panic.

As their land and food were confiscated clean, especially as the rationing system was implemented in an orderly manner during the war to allow poor peasants and serfs to eat, the enthusiasm for the rebellion was naturally greatly reduced.

After all, no matter who it is, as long as he can eat his stomach, he is always reluctant to make trouble.

Taking this opportunity, Li Xiao and Alexei helped Grand Duke Constantine to truly divide the fields, which made the large number of Moldavian serfs even more happy. After all, the only dream of their ancestors for generations is to own their own land and be free men.

For a time they did not count on this dream, but as more and more old aristocratic lands supporting the rebels were confiscated, the first round of distribution of land and the liberation of serfs began vigorously.

Especially after the news spread, the entire Moldavia was a sensation. Although the Grand Duke Constantine had told the whole country that he would liberate the serfs, his tricks on the food issue really hurt Moore a lot. Davia's poor man's heart.

Most Moldavians think that Duke Constantine is just talking big, or even lying, and many people directly say that Duke Constantine is using the excuse of liberating serfs to fill his own pockets.

Anyway, the reputation of Grand Duke Constantine can be regarded as stinking. Basically Moldavia has no hope for his so-called liberation of serfs.

No one thought that under the background that the whole country was not optimistic, and even hoped for his downfall, the liberation of serfs had really begun, and the development was not generally smooth!

This makes many people with ulterior motives feel that their brains are not enough. They can't figure out why?

Actually, the reason is very simple. Archduke Constantine did have too many small calculations before, and he was indeed prepared to achieve his ulterior motives by emancipating serfs and carrying out reforms.

His original plan was to severely crack down on Moldavian nobles who did not support or follow him, confiscate their land and liberate their serfs. And if you are willing to obey him and go with him, then make a symbolic gesture.

Anyway, liberating serfs was not his real goal, but to completely control Moldavia.

It's just that his calculations died out directly following the Moldavian nationwide rebellion, and it is impossible to make it happen.

And as almost all Moldavian nobles and landlords stood on his opposite side, it also made him realize that it is impossible to control Moldavia by pulling one after another.

And Moldavia's overall situation is almost collapsed, all the altars and all the old nobles are opposed to him, so he must be flat or cut across the board.

In desperation, Grand Duke Constantine really began to liberate the serfs. He had no desires and no demands, and he could only do it in accordance with a fair and just plan to thoroughly clean up the old order of Moldavia.

It can only be said that this is unintentional, and it can be regarded as a slap in the face.

But this also means that Grand Duke Constantine is standing on the opposite side of the old nobility of Moldavia, which means that he must completely dismantle the old system, so that he can no longer go back or get in touch with the mud.

"Your Majesty will not be happy if you do it this way," Viscount Prozolov reminded cautiously.

Grand Duke Constantine didn't know that he would be very upset if he did this. If this was in St. Petersburg, he would have been called to the Imperial Study Room to scold him.

However, Grand Duke Constantine also knew that even if he was unhappy, he could only bite the bullet and proceed, because not doing it would be a dead end.

Li Xiao talked to him about this topic before, and Li Xiao told him rudely: "Kostya, you are polite to say that you are already on the stinky streets in Moldavia, and your reputation has been completely discredited. There is no serf from the noble road. People will trust you again, and no one will support you."

"Now it's useless to beg for mercy and surrender to those old nobles. With the support of Count Uvarov, they don't need to talk nonsense with you. They will only attack you presumptuously until they break you down!"

"The only thing you can fight for is the serf class. You can only lay down your mind to truly liberate them and confiscate the nobles’ land for free. In exchange for their heartfelt support, with their support, your volunteer army will no longer be unable to move out of the city like before. They will even welcome you warmly and help you deal with those old nobles together!"

At first, Grand Duke Constantine didn’t believe it ~www.readwn.com~ but after trying to do it, he found that the situation had indeed changed. In the past, his volunteer army was annoying even in the suburbs of Chisinau. Often, before his troops enter the village, all the people in the village ran away.

But now, his troops have been welcomed after entering the village, and the poor peasants and serfs are hoping for his people to come soon, hoping to get their own land after eating.

It can even be said that his people are no longer blind or deaf after leaving the city. There are people everywhere willing to provide him with information and trends of the rebels. It is completely clear where there are rebel activities and who is supported by the rebels!

"If I do it in Moldavia, not only will my father be angry, but the old nobles who are hostile to me will also take the opportunity to kill me. Anyway, my father is inevitable, so I can't let those enemies succeed, right? "

Viscount Prozolov hesitated to speak, but the current situation really didn't have many better options. If Moldavia continues to chaos, and even Chisinau loses again, then Archduke Constantine will definitely be unable to stand up forever.

But if the situation can be reversed by liberating the serfs, although Nicholas I will be unhappy afterwards and the conservative forces will be more hostile, there is still a chance.

"I just think the plan of confiscation of noble land and free distribution to serfs is too radical. After all, Wallachia didn't do it like this, but they suggested that you do it. It's like hiding evil intentions!"

Grand Duke Constantine smiled bitterly: "Of course it is to hide the evil intentions. How can Andre and Alexei be kind to me, but at the moment, besides doing so, is there a better way to restore the situation?"

Viscount Prozolov was hesitant to speak, and finally he sighed: "But... even if there is no way, but it is still a bit too much..."
