Struggle in Russia

In fact, Li Xiao still had something in his heart to say, that is, he hoped to use the hands of the Bretianu brothers to clean up the conservative landowners in Wallachia. These people are really not to be underestimated, their power is incomparable, and they can control most of Wallachia's domestic affairs, and they are all like emperors.

Let's put it this way, as the richest and most powerful group of people in Wallachia, they can almost determine Wallachia's life and death with one word. The previous coup that overthrew Prince Bibescu seemed to be the charge of liberals and reformers, but in fact the backbone of the coup was actually these conservative landlords.

These landlords and grand lords are no longer satisfied with being exploited by Russia, hoping to better protect their own interests, so they acquiesced and secretly supported the riots of the liberals and reformers. Otherwise, just a few rotten eggs from the liberals and reformers can raise their arms and overthrow Prince Bibescu with a gun in his hand?

That's called dream talk, okay?

The real situation is that these conservative landowners are also playing tricks on Russia, which changed Wallachia overnight. What's even more frightening is that these conservative landlords also hid their real intentions very well. On the surface, they seemed to be closer to neutrality and did not seem to participate in the coup, but it was just a disguise to deceive the Russians. After all, coups always have risks Yes, what if the Russians kill the whole family if they fail?

And it is this layer of disguise that is easy to deceive. The Russians who were killed later and Alexandru Ioan Kuza, who was elected as the head of state by the people of Wallachia, were all deceived by these cunning old foxes. The former was not vigilant against the landlords' tendency to resist and let them go, while the latter was paralyzed and overthrown by the grotesque alliance dominated by conservative landlords.

Therefore, in order to weaken the strength of Wallachia's "rebel" party members, it is necessary to severely attack these old fox landlords. Cleaning them up will not only deal a heavy blow to Wallachia's resistance forces, but also help stabilize Wallachia. The political situation in Asia changed the embarrassing situation of Russia being unpopular in Wallachia.

Because the revolution in Wallachia had both the attribute of national liberation and the attribute of democratic revolution. To put it bluntly, it was necessary to fight for national liberation but also to grab a bowl of food. The former is to drive away the Russian overlord, while the latter is to grab food from the bowl of the conservative landlord class.

It’s just that in the Wallachia Revolution of 1848, the Conservative National Party headed by the Bretianu brothers successfully weakened the latter and emphasized the former through cooperation with the liberals and reformers, giving ordinary Wallachia The public has an impression that if the Russians are beaten away, they can not only liberate the country and win freedom, but also have food to eat.

In other words, they succeeded in whitewashing the conservative landlord class, downplaying the "contradictions among the people", and pushing all problems and contradictions on Russia, making the Wallachians think that everything is fine after the Russians are settled up.

In fact, it is far from ideal. Otherwise, in 1854, Russia was forced to withdraw from the Principality of Wallachia and Moldavia, and in 1866, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was forced to abdicate and leave Romania. ,

How long is this? Why did Romania, which had clearly been nationally liberated and free, take another coup d'état and overthrow the head of state elected by the people?

Is this normal?

It is obviously abnormal. The reason why Kuza was overthrown was that the reforms he wanted to carry out touched the cake of the landlord conservatives, so he was the head of state for less than 7 years before he collapsed and was forced to go into exile. up.

To put it bluntly, in order to solve Romania's problems, we must solve these old landlords who have been paid thousands of dollars. This group of people has been rooted in Romania for generations, and their influence and influence are unprecedented. If they are not eliminated, they will not be able to truly control the local government in Romania, and it is easy to be emptied, leading to the embarrassing situation where the government orders cannot be issued in Bucharest.

For Li Xiao, eliminating these people and using their land to curry favor with the Romanian farmers is a good deal. Anyway, it's not his own land. Anyway, these old foxes and tricksters are going to fight against Russia. How can we eliminate them? Isn't it a very reasonable choice for their property to buy people's hearts?

Romanian farmers who can survive with land must be more concerned about their own small life, and they must not be so active in rebellion and trouble, and they will thank the Russian benefactor who gave them the land no matter what, and they will be a little grateful no matter what love?

In this way, the situation in Romania will definitely change greatly, and there will never be a situation in history where the Crimean War was announced, and Nicholas I raised his arms and shouted to the Slavic compatriots and Orthodox brothers in the Balkans to fight against the enemy together. The result is a chat There was also a face-slapping scene where rotten eggs were thrown.

Especially now, there is a conflict between the hardcore landlord conservatives like the Bretianu brothers and the stubborn local landlord conservatives in Prahova County. Let them waving the flag and shouting let them tear it up. It is best for both sides to suffer and let the landlords and conservatives directly split and fight among themselves.

"Is that possible?" Vishniak wondered.

Yes, Vishniak finally entered Wallachia smoothly. As a senior partner of the Wallachia Petroleum Company, he swaggered across the border with troops, swords and guns all the way. In addition to the warm and considerate hospitality, if it is not worried about Li Xiao's safety, this guy can't wait to transform into a nine times one night man.

"When I came from Ploiesti, the landowners there were not in high spirits. They were all scared like quails, and they had no resistance to the brothers you mentioned!"

"If you want them to fight among themselves, the overall strength is equal, right? I don't think the landlords in Prahova are the opponents of the brothers at all, and they can't fight at all!"

Li Xiao rubbed his chin, this is an unexpected situation, it seems that he still thinks a little simple. The old fox Jan Constantine really knows the real situation in Wallachia better, and knows what to do to quickly stabilize the situation. His move of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger has an extraordinary effect!

But Li Xiao will not give up so easily, he still has a way to make these two groups of people angry, he has to use both civil and military means, the rabbit will bite when it is anxious, he does not believe that the landlords in Prahova are really slapped of.

But before he could speak, Vishniak told him another unexpected situation: "Andreka, I came here in such a hurry, I have two things to inform you. One is from Constanta. The movement of the Turks is a bit wrong, it seems that the British side has exerted diplomatic pressure, they are tracking down the matter of James Vaughan and Gabriel, and they have been looking for trouble with the Hammer Gang during this time!"

"Also, letters from Leonid and Boris..."
