Chapter 105 As Long as I Think

This time Uvarov was willing to go all out, and he talked about a lot of reasons, nothing more than new things are poisonous weeds, which must be eradicated, how can we let them go and so on.

To be honest, Nicholas I was very familiar with these reasons and agreed with them before, but today he still has to taste what this poisonous weed is like.

Why? Because he Nicholas I was a different tsar!

From a historical point of view, Nicholas I, the tsar, is indeed very interesting. You say that his qualifications are mediocre, but he is just a middle-aged man, but he fundamentally solved the rebellion of the rich and powerful that the previous tsars could not completely solve. question.

Look at the tsar before him, even if he was a fierce man like Peter I, once his braids were raised, the descendants could not control the situation, the ending would be very miserable. It can be said that in the previous history of Russia, whenever there was a tsar with a "brilliant talent" who made a difference, his affairs were all messed up.

The situation changed when Nicholas I was here. This man completely solved the problem of rebellion by military dignitaries like the shooting army, and tamed a group of nobles to be honest, at least on the surface. In his hands, the authority of the tsar has been greatly strengthened. Anyway, since he started, the tsar no longer has to worry about the issue of heirs. Even a mediocre person like Alexander III can secure the position of emperor.

Nicholas I was indeed quite powerful in dealing with power, and he could be regarded as the pinnacle of the Russian tsars. He is like a big spider, forming an airtight web and controlling the whole of Russia. No one can disobey his will, no one can challenge him, and tame a group of powerful people properly posted.

Do you think that once a tsar with such powerful tactics has made a certain determination, is it so easy to be changed? For example, now, for Nicholas I, Uvarov's words may make sense, but he doesn't like his courtiers to reason with him, what he likes is the absolute obedience of his courtiers, even a humerus minister like Uvarov The boundary between the monarch and his subjects cannot be violated.

In his words: "Why do you, a subject, reason with Laozi? Laozi is the truth. Laozi just follows the law. Just listen to Laozi's truth honestly!"

That is to say, Earl Uvarov has a lot of face. If he is another minister, he will be ready to face the storm of Nicholas I. He will tell you with his fist, what is truth is hard fist!

"Count, what you said is too worrying," Nicholas I responded indifferently, "I have already learned about the cable telegraph project in detail, and it is imperative. I believe that you will agree with my approach in the future. "

These words are actually telling Uvarov: "Don't force me, I don't want to hear it,

If you leave early, it depends on how I create the future. "

At this time, Count Uvarov's correct approach was to shut up and retreat, because Nicholas I was really a little impatient, and he had already expressed his attitude. He just wanted the cable telegram, and this was his will.

In Nicholas I's view, since he has already expressed his will as a king, the courtiers should accept it honestly instead of continuing to bargain!

It can only be said that Nicholas I's favor to Count Uvarov over the years made him a little bit drifting. He really thought that his position was particularly detached, so he didn't retreat honestly, but continued to be there with Nicholas I. To be reasonable all my life, this is shameless.

Sure enough, Nicholas I couldn't bear it anymore. He interrupted Earl Uvarov mercilessly, and said bluntly: "I told the earl, this matter is so settled, there is no need to discuss it. Wired The Telegram project must begin immediately!"

Count Uvarov stood there, Nicholas I was so strange in his eyes, he couldn't understand why Nicholas I became like this, didn't he obey him before? Not to mention the sarcasm at the moment, even serious words have never been said before, what's the matter?

Count Uvarov felt disheartened, and felt that Nicholas I had changed, he was no longer the boy he used to be... He sat back on the chair in frustration, his mind was buzzing, and he didn't understand why things changed Be like this now.

Uvarov was hit head-on, and the conservative scramble for the cable project was a farce that just kicked off with a bang and then quickly closed. These people, their disciples, grandchildren, and party members were in a panic and panicked mess.

"What a joy!"

Nikolai Milutin sang happily. It has been many years since I have seen conservatives in such a mess, especially it is the first time in history that Uvarov has been so humiliated.

"It would be great if we could do this in the future!"

Of course Nikolai Milyutin knew that this was impossible. Nicholas I could not always have such a good attitude towards new things. In fact, his love for cable telegraphs had surprised reformers like them.

Before they thought that the cable telegraph project would be the same as the railway and steamship before it, and then disappeared without a trace. Who would have thought that the cable telegraph would turn around and rub the conservatives and Uvarov on the ground, which was simply too unexpected.

"Why don't we help the Duke of Ordorf? If we also intervene, it will definitely make Uvarov even more embarrassed!"

Dmitry Milyutin glanced at his brother, and then sighed secretly. In fact, he also made a suggestion to Count Rostovtsev before to help Duke Ordorf. After all, the cable telegram is of great significance and deserves support. .

At that time Count Rostovtsev flatly refused, saying that the time was not yet ripe. Later, when Uvarov was beaten by Nicholas I, he suggested that he should beat the dog in the water, but Count Rostovtsev said that if they made a move, the nature of the matter would change, and it might turn a good thing into a bad thing. It is to wait and see.

At that time, he was as puzzled as Nikolai Milyutin, thinking how could such a good opportunity be missed, but Count Rostovtsev told him: "It seems that this time the conservatives and Uvarov have hit the iron plate. , but in fact His Majesty’s preference has not changed fundamentally, he is still the same as before, still so stubborn and conservative. This time, it’s just that the cable telegraph is too important to him, so he taught the conservatives a little !"

After a short pause, he continued to explain: "Once we make a move, the nature of the matter will change, and it will become a direct confrontation. At that time, even if His Majesty likes cable telegrams, he will have to maintain his consistent position. Then it will be his turn." We're going to have a bloodbath!"
