Struggle in Russia

The name Alexei Petrovich is not ten thousand and eight thousand in Russia, but there is only one that makes Mikhail Gorchakov so important, that is Alexei Petrovich. Yermolov.

This Yermolov is also a bull, and it is not a normal cow but a kind of cattle that can't be added. This old man was particularly active during the Napoleonic era. He participated in all the wars in 1807 and 1812, and performed well. He was promoted to the infantry general in 1818. In 1837, he was added the title of artillery general.

Please note that the title of the artillery general in particular is not easy, why? Because Yermolov was greatly disgusted and offended in 1827, Nicholas I was forced to go to work to retire, and ten years later, he would still be able to engage in the title of artillery admiral.

So how did Ermolov offend Nicholas I? This has to start from 1798. The French Revolution of that year profoundly affected a large number of advanced and progressive military officers in Russia. Yermolov was one of the leaders, and that year he was arrested and detained in the Peter and Paul Fortress because he joined the political group "Free Thinkers".

Friends who are familiar with the Peter and Paul Fortress know the status of this fortress prison in the Russian political arena, and only those political fans considered by the Czar to be the most dangerous will be held there.

Yermolov was sentenced to life-long exile unexpectedly, but this one was really too arrogant. After a few years of exile, he was recruited back to continue to serve in the military because of the Tai Niu, and it was in the war of 1805 to 1807. Outstanding performance demonstrates excellent artillery skills.

It’s just that it’s excellent, but Yermolov’s political thoughts are always the same. It is his belief to advocate freedom and reform, so after the party incident in December 1825, this one sheltered many The exiled December party members were then reported and exposed.

Think about what kind of dog temper Nicholas I was, and you can bear it. You must be able to clean up Yermolov. It’s just that this fame and credit are so great that even Nicholas I can’t take him too much. , Can only dismiss and suppress.

However, because of this, Yermolov was also supported by many progressive generals in the army. That influence and prestige were quite high, and Lazarev naturally had to sell him some face. And Mikhail Gorchakov had a good relationship with Yermolov in the Caucasus and the war against Iran, and the old man was dismissed in the back, and he did not take care of the old men and students. Naturally, the old man can be helped.

But what Mikhail Gorchakov did not expect was that he was still thinking of writing to Yermolov, but the old man actually ran to Kherson himself.

Nominally, the old man came to the Black Sea for a holiday, but in fact the old man came to the Black Sea Fleet to enroll students under the trust of Count Rostovtsev. Which student do you accept? Naturally, our Grand Duke Li Xiao.

As mentioned earlier, the old man belongs to the most **** and oldest revolutionary party in Russia. Before he was dismissed, he has been nestled in his hometown of Moscow to provide for the elderly, but in fact the old man did not stop the pace of the revolution, still paying attention to the revolution silently. Career development.

After France, Austria, Prussia, and Apennine all fell into a revolutionary frenzy, the keen old man immediately realized that a new revolution was coming. Although Russia was still ruled by the iron fists of Nicholas I, who would dare to say that Russia cannot have a new one Revolutionary opportunity.

The old man's heart suddenly became hot, and he rushed directly from his hometown in Moscow to St. Petersburg. On the one hand, he met his old friends to inquire about the news, to see what the revolutionary situation in Russia looked like, and on the other hand, he tested Nicholas I. Attitude.

After all, it was Nicholas I who dismissed him from that year. Without the permission of the emperor, his every move was greatly restrained. If there is any action, it will cause trouble!

However, Yermolov made a round in St. Petersburg. Although revolutionary students and new-thinking youths have met a lot, it is clear that he also found that the Russian revolutionary atmosphere is not strong, and most Russians and second Ten years ago, there was no difference. At most, the revolution could be regarded as a bit of a yearning, or a little longing, and then there was still a lack of mobility.

To put it simply, most people are still talking about the revolution and their imagination. No one intends to take actual action. This result naturally makes the old man very disappointed and even discouraged. According to his thoughts, you can see that the Czechs in the backward Austrian territory have all emerged, and we Russians are still ignorant, what is this called!

The old man with a bit of disappointment decided not to look at the attitude of Nicholas I, go back to his hometown and continue to wait, obviously the revolution is too high-end for Russia. But at this moment Count Rostovtsev suddenly found him.

"Old General, why don't you rush in St. Petersburg?"

For the uninvited Count Rostovtsev, Yermolov’s feelings are complicated. Unlike ordinary December party sympathizers, Count Rostovtsev is a traitor, and the old man is quite The past is still a little bit. There is a reason to know someone doing that.

But even so~www.ltnovel.com~ The old man didn't have a good face for Count Rostovtsev. He said wryly: "It turns out to be the Lord Count, you suddenly come to visit. Is this your majesty to visit me?"

The old man is very opinionated that Count Rostovtsev has been serving Nicholas I for all these years, because the old man thinks that Nicholas I is a stupid and stubborn king, who is hindering Russia from modernization. Maximum resistance, so how can you serve such an asshole!

"Your Majesty has no interest in you. He thinks you are too old to pose a threat to him!" Count Rostovtsev smiled back with a smile.

This made Yermarov angry, and he hated people saying he was old now, even if he is really a bit old, it is also old-fashioned and can do things for the revolutionary cause of Russia!

"That's really thanks to your majesty, thanks to him and your Hongfu, my old man, although my hair and beard are white, but my brain is still sober, unlike some people, it looks young, but a heart is already drooping , My mind is as muddled as paste!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled, naturally knowing that the old man was deliberately bidding against him, but he didn’t care too much. From the moment he chose to take this path, he realized that he was aware of it. under!
