Struggle in Russia

Youmu think it's amazing. Did you think that Count Rostovtsev was a rebel December member? Was he shocked? Don't be surprised, the more amazing is still behind!

When the other December party members were punished by severe punishment, deprived of title, industry, all honors, hard labor and exile in Siberia, the magical Count of Rostovcev did nothing. The wounded stayed in St. Petersburg, stayed in the Hermitage, and stayed beside Nicholas I, becoming the belly of his Majesty's confidence.

Amazing?

So how did this gorgeous transformation comparable to Sailor Moon achieve? Quite simply, on the eve of the December uprising, Count Rostovtsev personally went to meet Nicholas I to warn the future emperor "that danger is coming".

Yes, it is said that the miraculous earl made a confession first, and this allowed him to win the trust of Nicholas I and escape the calamity.

It seems that the count is despicable. He is a complete villain and should be cast aside? Should it stink for thousands of years?

Things are not so simple. Everything that happened in front of the Winter Palace in that winter is very complicated. Many things and the images that appear are not completely consistent with the truth. Count Rostovsev's move was even more complicated and profound.

First of all, the Count was not a betrayal of the little companion to tell him. In fact, he told his companions that he was going to warn Nicholas I. At that time, he told his good friends who were also members of the December Party, "I am loyal to Russia and the Romanov family. It is foreseeable that our actions will make Duke Nicholas Pavlovich (Nicholas I As for danger, I decided to go to him and ask him not to accept the throne. "

Yes, Count Rostovtsev hoped to persuade Nicholas I not to accept the throne, and indirectly contributed to the success of the uprising. And he didn't trust the actions of the December party members, but just told Nicholas I: "You will be very dangerous to accept the throne!" And after the meeting, he returned to his friends and told them to work with Nepal. All the meeting of Gula I.

If you look at it this way, the count is no longer a mean whistleblower, but more like a naive kid.

Of course, Count Rostovtsev was not naive. In fact, his city was quite deep. The reason why he warned Nicholas I was not because he was naive, but rather because he was very realistic and very predictable. I am afraid that at that time, as a December member who did not approve of the immediate launch of an armed uprising, he had realized that the uprising of which the hasty purpose of the organization was not clear would not succeed, and it was better to find a chance to leave a useful body than to burn the jade .

I vaguely warned that Nicholas I was undoubtedly a good way. It does not affect the implementation of the uprising, but also finds a preservation strategy for the self after the failure of the uprising. How can someone who can come up with such a clever solution be a little naive? The old plot is pretty good!

The result! The history book also writes that the December uprising of the Party members can only be considered a farce, and the messy sitting opportunity to slip away the last thing did nothing, but exposed the innocence of Russian progressives and the ignorance of the soldiers at the bottom. The combination of the two is obviously impossible to lead Russia to a new page. This shows that the count's prediction is very accurate!

Count Rostovtsev wisely jumped out of the whirlpool, saved his strength, and lurked beside Nicholas I silently waiting for new opportunities, and now he felt that the time was ripe.

"Count, do you really think the current international situation is conducive to our country's innovation?"

In the carriage slowly moving, Nikola Alexeievich Milyutin asked the Count Rostovtsev without hiding his suspicion.

Count Rostovtsev looked at Xiaomi Liujing, a teenager younger than him. The 29-year-old's slightly immature face reminded him of himself in 1825.

That winter of that year, he continued to question his good friend and elder brother Sergei Ivanovich Muraviyov-Apostol with similar suspicions, and he continued to question The other party decided to immediately uprising, but instead called for the cancellation of the uprising plan. At that time, did Muraviev feel as confident as he is now?

Count Rostovsev's thoughts flew away in an instant, as if returning to the winter that made his life unforgettable: Colonel Muraviov on the Peterborough Fortress Square in Rabbit Island was put on a gallows, the war hero looked Looking at the gallows and the noose calmly, there was no fear at all. This disappointed Nicholas I, who was watching and sentenced to death, and the tyrant wanted to see the rebels scared or confessed on his knees. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can serve as a deterrent.

But Muraviev was always so calm. He used his own peace to despise Nicholas I and the conservative upper class of Russia. Nothing can change his aspirations, even death.

Rostovtsev will never forget the next terrible scene. Muraviev was put on a black hood and a noose, and as the footstool under his feet slammed, the iron-bone man slammed. It fell, and then a stunned scene happened. The wooden beam with a noose could not bear the prisoner's weight and broke with a click. The prisoner fell directly to the ground and broke his legs and screamed in pain.

This is not a trick that Nicholas I deliberately played, not the false executions that Dostoevsky and his friends later encountered, but the concrete manifestation of decaying Russian incompetence. In the words before Muraviev was executed again, it was: "This **** country will not plan a conspiracy, it will not trial, and it will not even hang people!"

Nicholas I did not let off the five December party leaders headed by Muraviv, even if the beams that suddenly broke were like God was saying to keep people under the sword, even if there were constant dignitaries to plead for five people. However, Nicholas I insisted on executing the sentence again immediately, so that Muraviov and others dragged their broken legs on the spot and re-entered the gallows.

From that day on, Rostovtsev abhorred the new tsar, even if Nicholas I gave him full trust and continued to promote him, but he could never forget the eldest brother Muraviov before he left. His eyes were both a contempt for decadent autocracy and an infinite longing for the future of the revolution. He is determined to carry forward the legacy of his elder brother and carry this revolution to the end. To this end, he has endured heavy accumulation of power and has prepared for too long ...
