"In the period after my return to Petersburg, I visited every corner of the Russian Empire and saw many tragedies that were not seen in Petersburg.
Only then did I realize that Russia was rotten and backward, and although she defeated France, I thought it was just another barbarian invasion of Rome.
We are far from your level in all aspects, and our nobles will only rob and whip the serfs…”
Duke Golitsyn gushed about the ugliest side of the Russian Empire to Marcel Yeruger. His words were filled with love for Russian soil and hatred for the tsars and nobles who lived on Russian soil.
Marcel Yeruger quietly listened to Duke Golitsyn's speech, and tried to analyze his character from Duke Golitsyn's micro-expression.
Only by understanding the character characteristics of Duke Golitsyn can we really make a dialectical analysis of what Duke Golitsyn said.
"At that time, I felt deeply ashamed that I was a noble living in this country!" Duke Golitsyn's voice was slightly trembling, and his tone was slightly choked: "I desperately want to change, I am crazy I'm looking for someone with the same ideals as me!"
Speaking of this, Duke Golitsyn's face showed a smile: "After my persevering search, I finally found them, they are a group of young people full of ideals and passion; they also want to rely on their own strength just like me. Change the whole of Russia! So, I joined them and became a member of the Petersburg Northern Association!"
Speaking of this, Marcel Yeruger realized that Duke Golitsyn was also an old rebel.
Because the Northern Association in Duke Golitsyn's mouth was the tandem organization established by the Decembrists in Petersburg.
The Decembrists were able to stage a series of uprisings against the Tsar in St. Petersburg thanks to the help of the Northern Society.
However, Marcel Yeruger was a little curious. Since Duke Golitsyn joined this organization, why was he able to wander freely between Russia and France.
You must know that in order to thoroughly investigate the situation of the Decembrists, Nicholas I set off a **** storm in Russia for several years.
Many princes (dukes) in Russia suffered bad luck because of the Decembrist incident, and some dukes were directly exiled to the Far East for several years before returning.
As one of the Decembrist participants, Duke Golitsyn had no reason to stay out of it.
Afterwards, Duke Golitsyn continued to look at the doubts in his heart for Marcel Yeruger, "After several years of development, the Northern Association has quickly recruited a large number of soldiers who are eager to change the system of the Russian Empire! Perhaps it is because soldiers are naturally adventurous. Because of this, the association that originally wanted to gradually accumulate power and then overthrow the Russian Empire in one fell swoop began to become more and more radical under the influence of the military.
They were not satisfied with continuing to dormant, and many officers began to plan to launch their respective troops to carry out an armed uprising when Alexander I died, thereby liberating the entire Russian Empire.
At that time, I did not agree with their plan of armed uprising, because it was less than 4 years before the establishment of the power of the North-South Association, and the power we had was too weak compared to the Tsar.
A sudden uprising was like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth, but at that time they were so engrossed in armed uprisings that they couldn't hear any other voices at all.
Gradually I was ostracized by the entire association, who first prevented me from speaking at meetings, and then deprived me of the right to participate in meetings.
This led me to become a fringe figure for the entire association for the next three years.
At that time, I was also a person who was unwilling to compromise. Since they would not let me join the association, I formed a new association myself.
So, a year later, I secretly established a new association. This association is more rigorous than the Northern Association, and it is also more stable. In order to avoid the sight of the Russian Imperial Secret Police, I named it. Loyalty Association.
Two years after the founding of the Loyalty Association, that vigorous revolution began.
As a result, just like I thought, an organization that has only been established for less than 7 years is impossible to accumulate too much power!
Although the uprising they launched in Petersburg caught Nicholas I, who had just ascended the throne, by surprise, the tsar who reacted quickly mobilized nearby troops to kill them.
Many of my friends were caught in that uprising, while I was in Marseille for the winter.
After that, the tsar tightened control over societies in the Russian Empire, many societies were banned, and members of the societies were escorted to the Far East.
And the Loyalty Association I established also had to move underground during those few years, and the connection between members gradually became less and less.
It was not until a few years later, when Nicholas I realized that there was no more group threatening him in the Russian Empire, and his own prestige was gradually established in the battles of the Ottoman Empire, our society was able to continue to grow and develop..."
"Your Excellency, so you have developed for more than ten years?" Marcel Yeruger asked Duke Golitsyn.
"That's right!" Duke Golitsyn proudly responded to Marcel Yeruger: "After more than ten years of development, the Loyalty Association has formed a huge network of relationships! Our people are everywhere from the palace to the place!"
"Since Your Excellency the Duke has such a huge power, why don't you choose to overthrow the Tsar directly!" Marcel Yerug asked Duke Golitsyn.
After being silent for a long time, Duke Golitsyn responded with a wry smile to Marcel Yeruger: "The Loyalty Association has indeed formed a huge force after a long period of development, but the larger the organization, the more likely it is within it. The more inevitable it is to face a split.
Some members of the association have become content with the status quo due to time, and thus have lost their original enthusiasm. They believe that maintaining the status quo in the Russian Empire is a well-known choice!
Another part of the members pinned their hopes on the crown prince Alexander. They believed that Alexander, who had a liberal ideology, could abolish the shackles of enslavement on Russia, and let Russia throw off all the burdens and move towards tomorrow!
Speaking of this, Duke Golitsyn's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, "They simply don't understand that it is impossible to make a tsar give up his birthright! They have lost their initiative. I just want to rely on the saints from heaven to save everything, but how can there be so many saints from heaven!"
Duke Golitsyn's voice gradually became hoarse: "Our nation has placed hopes on the leadership of the Holy Monarch time and time again, and in exchange for what, in addition to Peter the Great, the two generations of Catherine the Great and the Holy King, What else do they bring to our nation besides victory and death? Which one of them truly sympathizes with our troubled nation! Russia, under the impression of power worship, yearns for an almighty little father, they They can use their extraordinary power to lead the Russian nation out of the sea of misery, but is there really such a little father in the world? (Duke Golitsyn smiled wryly) No!
Since Russia cannot pray for an almighty little dad, then Russia should use its own hands to overthrow the authority, build a brand new Russia, and let the flower of freedom bloom in the Russian Empire! "
After listening to Duke Golitsyn's impassioned speech, Marcel Yeruger couldn't help but be in awe of Duke Golitsyn's idealistic spirit of "giving oneself to others".
If Duke Golitsyn does what he says, the entire Russian Empire will likely pay for his own idealism.
"His Excellency Duke Golitsyn, I see Russia's hope in you! Rousseau once said: The flower of freedom needs to be constantly poured with the blood of tyrants!
In the original France, it was only after killing a king and driving out countless nobles that it truly completed its innovation. "Marcel Yeluger praised Duke Golitsyn, "I think that the Russian Empire can only change in a real sense just like France at the time!" "
Duke Golitsyn showed a sneer on his face and said, "Mr. Marcel, your purpose is probably not to support our ideals at all, but to provoke infighting in Russia! Only Russia The empire has fallen into infighting, so you can take advantage of the fisherman."
"Your Majesty, if you don't want to take action yourself, even if I say something wrong, it doesn't make any sense!" Marcel Yeruger said in his usual tone, "Furthermore, it is you who need our assistance now, not We need your help!
The big deal, we will appropriately relax the conditions for ending the war!
I believe that after the death of Nicholas I, the Russian imperial government is still very willing to sign an agreement with us, and you only have this chance! "
"Yeah!" Duke Golitsyn nodded and said, "Once Crown Prince Alexander succeeds, he will definitely make peace with you.
After he succeeded to the throne, he only needs to make some small reforms and give some people hope, then the association I created will immediately fall apart!
This is my last chance! "
"Your Excellency, what do you need us to do for you?" Marcel Yerug asked Duke Golitsyn.
"I need you to restrain the Russian troops stationed in Finland, Bessarabia and the Crimean peninsula, so that they cannot withdraw from the battlefield, and at the same time put forward the posture of advancing to the Petersburg area..." Golitsyn The duke made a request to Marcel Yaluger.
"Your Excellency the Duke, you should know! We need to spend a lot of money to realize these requirements of yours!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
