Struggle in Russia

Vishniak didn't know that he was being targeted by Earl Uvarov, and now he was unusually busy. As the most unpopular deputy head of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, he received a call A slightly weird task-that is to lead a company to maintain order around St. Petersburg.

In fact, it is to solve the so-called mobs who rose up, stop them from continuing to "harm" the nobles, and ensure the safety of the nobles' property and family members.

"What the **** kind of mission is this?" Vishniak kept cursing while grabbing the reins. He hated this mission from the bottom of his heart, because he sympathized with the hungry serfs, but the orders from above could not be refused. , so he could only keep complaining: "When will the Preobrazhensky regiment need to solve the problem of mud legs, what the hell!"

Of course, the Preobrazhensky regiment did not need to solve the trouble caused by the muddy legs, but who made him an unpopular deputy leader? The superiors really felt that it was an eyesore for him to stay in the Winter Palace, so they had to send him a task that could drive him far away.

"In fact, this is a good thing." Boris was in a good mood, as long as he could get away from the pile of incomprehensible tomes and let him do anything, "at least you know they are forced to help, at least you sympathize with them , will not kill indiscriminately like those barbarians.”

Vishniak admits this point, he has let go of many people along the way, as long as he let go of the so-called mob who did not kill people, it is reasonable for him to be able to live with his conscience, but I don’t know why he just doesn’t Comfortable, I always feel that my heart is blocked and panicked.

In fact, he knew where the crux of the problem was. It's nothing more than his small favors can't solve the practical problem at all. Even if he let go of those poor people, they still don't have enough food to satisfy their hunger, and they still face the problem of hunger.

In this way, even if they are temporarily let go, sooner or later they will be swayed by hunger and take another risk. At that time, can he still hold his hands high?

When he thinks of this, he gets upset and feels helpless, how much he wants to let these poor people go, how he hopes that their meager wishes can be realized, because it is really not worth mentioning, and it is reasonable to be satisfied.

But in Russia, this has become very complicated and troublesome. The nobles tightly covered their wallets, and would rather the grain rot in the warehouse than give even a morsel to the serfs.

They even justified this, saying that private property is sacred and inviolable. At this time, they thought of human rights, but they didn't realize that they didn't even guarantee the most basic right of life of serfs.

This severe selective blindness made Vishniak so angry that he really wanted to take a bayonet and bleed these misers one by one. It's a pity that this can only be thought about, in fact, he can't do anything, he can only feel sad secretly.

Boris also sighed. Of course he knew what his good friends were struggling with. Although he was not a serf, he didn't have a personal experience of their suffering. But as a fairly well-informed person, he felt that the Russian nobles and slave owners were indeed a bit too much. They completely passed on the huge burden to those who were already poor, but they themselves maintained a luxurious life. , this is not a matter of fairness or unfairness, but a matter of black conscience.

He thinks the most appropriate way is for the nobles to make certain concessions and make a little sacrifice. They have earned enough over the years, and it is time to make a little contribution.

But Boris also knew that it was absolutely impossible to persuade those greedy guys to give up the fat in their mouths. Even if they knew that things were going to the worst side, they still couldn't see the coffin without crying. ..

Boris sighed, and comforted: "What can we do about this kind of thing? We can only do what we can, and it is worthy of our conscience. At least I don't have to repent for it when I am dying!"

Vishniak was indifferent to this, because he didn't care much about religion, and always felt that it was a trick to deceive people. As long as he repented, he could go to heaven, so the threshold was too low. If you do it like this, so what if you were full of evil and evil in life, and you can write it off after confessing to the priest before you die. Is it reasonable? Is it fair?

At least he felt it was unfair. According to this theory, those serfs who were cornered by hunger would not have to go to hell, they could repent anyway! The big deal is that you can just repent when you are hanged!

Vishniak felt that this was not a solution to the problem, but a trick of self-deception, maybe even self-deception could not be done, at least those noble gentlemen did not worry about going to **** at all when they did evil. On the contrary, those poor serfs who were fooled were put on shackles for this~www.readwn.com~ If they go too far, they will be intimidated in various ways.

In desperation, Boris could only suggest: "If you really can't figure it out, you might as well ask Andre. Although I don't think he has a good solution, at least it can make you feel better."

Vishniak has doubts about this, because he always feels that no matter how Li Xiao is the Grand Duke of the empire, he is also the ruling class, and even if his sympathy is overwhelming, he will not stand on the side of the serfs.

"The ruling class?"

Li Xiao was a little surprised when he heard Vishniak's troubles. He really didn't expect this good friend to learn this vocabulary. It seems that he didn't teach it?

He joked: "Have you ever seen such a down-and-out and unpopular ruling class like me?"

It's just that Vishniak obviously didn't think it was very funny, so he could only continue with an awkward laugh: "Strictly speaking, we all belong to the ruling class, the difference is that we belong to the small group who are aware of the problem... If you follow the way of those... um, the miser you say, the country will soon be in turmoil, and there may be a revolutionary movement in France or not so long ago in Austria."

Li Xiao looked at Vishniak and saw that he was listening seriously, so he had to explain carefully: "Strictly speaking, the current problems in Russia are actually caused by the uneven distribution of production means. The serfs did not have their own land, and were exploited by the pampered miser, and now the social conflicts have been greatly magnified due to the defeat, making these problems that have existed for many years be maximized."

"If this problem is not resolved, the result will be a revolution. The serfs will rise up and overthrow the so-called misers like the third estate in France back then, and use violence to solve the problem of survival..."
