Struggle in Russia

Grand Duke Constantine said sadly: "Count, you are really short-sighted. The purpose of our reform is to completely abolish the serfdom system, not to patch up this decadent and backward system...According to the Polish bastard's approach, the serfdom system is still How many years will we have to exist? Wouldn’t our persistence for so many years have been in vain! I dare say that this is a blood transfusion for those conservatives, and it is self-destruction of the Great Wall!”

These words were so righteous that Nikolai Milyutin was fooled by him and thought that Grand Duke Constantine was really worried about reform and worried about being taken advantage of by conservatives, so he raised a very crucial question:

"Then how do you think we should reform? How to start the pilot in Ukraine specifically? Tell us your opinions?"

Grand Duke Constantine waved his hand and said with great force: "I think that in order to completely abolish the serfdom system, we should first liberate the serfs in all Ukraine, grant them freedom, and let them enjoy..."

Nikolai Milyutin has heard too much nonsense like this. Recently, almost everyone will tell him this kind of nonsense. The problem is that this kind of thing cannot solve practical problems!

He immediately interrupted: "Your Highness, I also support the abolition of slavery, but how to abolish slavery? How are you going to specifically liberate the millions of serfs in Ukraine? Is it redemption? Or forced emancipation? You should always have A plan?"

Grand Duke Constantine has a crazy plan. If the people around him can come up with a feasible plan, will he keep shouting slogans?

What's more, he is not interested in these "trivial" things. He thinks that he is the helmsman and only needs to control the direction. The specific methods of turning the rudder, raising the sails, and untying the cables are other people's business.

He, the helmsman, already has a lot of trouble controlling the direction, so he can't let him do all the work alone, right? !

So he replied confidently: "These are all details. We must first clarify the direction, which is to completely liberate the serfs. This is a fundamental issue of principle and must not be compromised! If anyone compromises on this point, it will be crime!"

Well, Nikolai Milyutin understood what Grand Duke Constantine meant, and to be honest, this disappointed him.

He was concentrating on thinking of a solution, but in the end, you just came here to talk and fire off cannons. Damn, you are still so angry. Do you deserve it? !

His eyes suddenly changed, but he still persuaded patiently: "Your Highness, you are right, it is indeed necessary to completely abolish the serfdom system, but this matter cannot be accomplished by just talking, there must be something For a comprehensive plan, you have to give a strategy for what to do in the first step and how to do the second step! Instead of just talking big words, it’s meaningless!”

Grand Duke Constantine immediately became unhappy: "What do you mean? What do you mean by empty talk? Do you think my opinion is meaningless? Or do you think I am wrong?!"

Nikolai Milyutin sighed and said: "You are right, but it is of no use. You cannot guide us to carry out reform actions. I think you should go back and think about how to do it and what to do. With that, Come to me again when you have a comprehensive plan, I will be happy to listen to your opinions then!”

Grand Duke Constantine had never been so reviled by Nikolai Milyutin. His face suddenly turned green and red, and after a while he said: "Count, what do you mean by this? Don't I have a comprehensive plan? Our plan It is fully prepared and can be implemented immediately. I think the reason for your opposition is that you are too timid!"

Nikolai Milyutin was really speechless. He found that no matter what he said, Grand Duke Constantine always talked to himself. This guy lived completely in his own set of logic and could not listen to other people's opinions at all.

But who made him the Grand Duke and who made him an important pillar of the reformists?

Nikolai Milyutin sighed again and said patiently: "Your Highness, let me say it one last time. I am not opposed to reform, but reform must have a specific strategy. If you have a specific implementation plan, you can tell me now. Don't do it again." Keep talking nonsense that has no construction value!"

But Grand Duke Constantine still couldn't listen. He said stubbornly: "Our plan is to abolish serfdom. Is there any problem with this? Do you mean that you are opposed to the abolition of serfdom?"

Nikolai Milyutin was really impatient: "How to abolish it? How to do it specifically? What to do in the first step, what to do in the second step, what problems may be encountered, and what are the solutions? If conservatives strongly How do you plan to deal with the opposition? You have to tell me these specific plans!"

If Grand Duke Constantine could say that he was ugly and ugly, he would not be in the same position as he is now. He has no plan, so naturally he can't say anything. He can't do anything except shout slogans!

Even so, Nikolai Milyuting still saved face for him. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com tried his best to control his emotions and suppress his inner irritability, and said: "You should think about these issues first and make a comprehensive plan. Come, then come back to discuss with me...Reform is not a matter of a day or two, and we still have enough time to make preliminary preparations..."

Normally Nikolai Milyutin's attitude was good enough, but Grand Duke Constantine didn't appreciate it. He felt that Nikolai Milyutin just didn't give him face, didn't listen to his opinions, and turned his elbows outward. To help Li Xiao, he didn’t appreciate his kindness at all and said unreasonably:

"I have said that these are not big issues. The key now is whether to abolish serfdom. We must be firm on this goal. Any compromise is unacceptable and intolerable..."

Well, no matter how patient Nikolay Milyutin is, there will be times when his patience is exhausted. For example, now his patience is exhausted by Grand Duke Constantine. For the first time, he found that the Grand Duke was so unreasonable and messy. He was so irritable!

He was too lazy to talk nonsense to Grand Duke Constantine and told him without hesitation: "If you insist on this wrong view and are never willing to talk about the overall plan, then our dialogue will become meaningless. I I think Archduke Andre’s plan is more reasonable. If you can find a more reasonable plan, I am willing to support you. On the contrary, I can only support Archduke Andre’s plan!”

This was the first time that Nikolai Milyutin directly rejected Grand Duke Constantine in person. His decisive and unquestionable attitude made Grand Duke Constantine extremely angry. He really wanted to cut open Nikolai Milyutin's belly with a knife. Let's see what brand of ecstasy Li Xiao gave him. Otherwise, how could he be so obedient?
