Struggle in Russia

Count Rostovtsev suddenly asked: "Calculating the time, Dmitry should have arrived in Ukraine, right?"

Nikolai Milyutin was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Count Rostovtsev, why did he suddenly switch to Dmitry when he was talking about Alexander II just now.

He was somewhat worried about this, after all Dmitry had conflicts with Count Rostovtsev before he left St. Petersburg. For the issue of Ukraine's counter-insurgency, the two sides are in full swing, and it is inevitable that there will be grievances.

He was afraid that Count Rostovtsev would target Dmitry, so he carefully replied: "According to the time, it's almost time, if I say he shouldn't be so anxious, he should let those guys who advocate slavery suffer a little." !"

As he spoke, he carefully observed the countenance of Count Rostovtsev, but the latter did not respond, showing no joy or anger.

This made him even more uneasy, and he quickly added: "But you also know that he is that character. He always hopes that our country will become better. Many times, he pays too much attention to those small things and ignores big problems. Please also understand!"

Count Rostovtsev was like a mirror in his heart. How could he not know his intentions? To be honest, he was too underestimated. Is he the kind of person who cares about everything?

If he wanted to deal with Dmitri, he would never even think about taking troops to Ukraine smoothly. He really thought that with the help of Duke Alexander, he could settle those bureaucrats? ..

Innocent!

Without his approval, even with the help of Duke Alexander, it would be extremely difficult to raise military expenses and supplies.

Of course, Count Rostovtsev would not really do this. If he really intervened, he would definitely be noticed by Duke Alexander. For the time being, he has no intention of conflicting with the duke, so he naturally held his hands high.

Let's put it this way, although he was very dissatisfied with the choice of Dmitry and Li Xiao, and felt that these two young people he was optimistic about were a bit naive. But as long as they don't hinder him too much, they can do whatever they want.

Young people have to fight hard, and they will only wake up when they are truly educated to be a man. Count Rostovtsev believed that sooner or later Dmitry and Li Xiao would know who was right.

The reason why he asked about Dmitry's whereabouts was not for any other purpose, but out of concern. In addition, Dmitri's itinerary would also involve some arrangements in St. Petersburg, so preparations had to be made early.

He calmly said to Nikolai Milutin: "Tell him to put down the rebellion without thinking too much. As for who is right and who is wrong, history will naturally give the answer. I just hope that he will keep his useful body well." , don’t make wrong judgments because you are eager to counter the rebellion, some things can only be done step by step, the more anxious you are, the more likely problems will occur.”

These words can be regarded as earnest and earnest. In Nikolai Milutin's view, Count Rostovtsev's heart is not generally broad. If he was so provoked by others, he would not continue to teach him well, not to mention giving him a good education. Expressing concern, he wished that the other party would make a fool of himself!

He replied with admiration: "I will fully convey your teachings to him, but you know that he is a person who often does not listen to other people's correct opinions!"

Count Rostovtsev nodded, and replied indifferently: "Then try your best, by the way, where is Grand Duke Andrew? What is he doing?"

Nikolai Milutin was stunned. In his opinion, since Count Rostovtsev and Li Xiao had already fallen out, they wouldn't care about someone in particular, not to mention never seeing each other.

But hearing what Count Rostovtsev said just now, it is obvious that most of them are concerned, this one is really a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted!

Of course, he lamented more that Li Xiao was so lucky to meet such a magnanimous boss as Count Rostovtsev. If you were on the conservative side, see how Count Uvarov would deal with you!

He felt that Li Xiao really didn't know the blessings while he was in the blessings, which was really a bit irritating.

"The grand duke has been busy running around to supervise the transportation of materials for Dmitry recently. It seems that he has caught a lot of guys with dirty hands and feet, causing quite a disturbance!"

Count Rostovtsev nodded unsurprisingly. No one knows better the virtues of Russian officials than he. To put it bluntly, this is a group of bastards, as long as there is an opportunity to make money, they will not let it go, even if it is a major event such as countering rebellion, they will never be ambiguous.

Sometimes you don't know whether to admire their boldness or their shamelessness. It is conceivable that if there is no third part to keep an eye on, five or six out of ten of the materials that have been collected with great difficulty will flow into their pockets.

Nikolai Milutin suddenly sighed: "I thought the conservatives would take the opportunity to make trouble, and I was a little worried that he had gone too far, but those sons of Earl Uvarov don't know why they are so honest~www .readwn.com~ There isn’t even a single grimace, how strange!”

Count Rostovtsev snorted coldly. There is nothing strange about it. The reason why the conservatives don’t jump around is very simple, that is, they also know that counterinsurgency is very important. , It is simply a fantasy to put down the rebellion.

Naturally, not to mention cleaning up these moths with his own hands, at least Li Xiao can pretend not to see them when he goes to clean up the pests.

Yes, their attitude was that they didn't see it. They neither supported nor opposed it. If Li Xiao wanted to do it, let him do it. Anyway, they were not the ones who offended anyone.

To be honest, Earl Rostovtsev disliked this kind of attitude, but because of his position, he couldn't help Li Xiao, and he also felt quite helpless. He obviously hated these dogs, but now he could only let him go. .

He also knew that the root cause of his falling out with Li Xiao and Dmitry was here, and the two of them would not accept some of his actions no matter what, even if he tried to persuade him in the long run, it would be meaningless.

Those two people disagreed that he must give up the short-term interests for the sake of the long-term. They believed that the long-term interests and the immediate interests could be taken into account, but he thought that some immediate interests were just petty interests, which were not worth it at all compared with the long-term interests. Mention, naturally there is no need to take risks for this little thing.

Count Rostovtsev didn't think he was wrong, but he could understand Dmitry and Li Xiao's insistence, and he was unwilling to make such a big sacrifice if he could. But he always insisted that this kind of trade-off is necessary. As long as long-term interests can be achieved, both long-term and short-term interests can be taken into account in the near future. At that time, Dmitry and Li Xiao will understand how wise his current decision is. up!
