"What exactly is going on?"
Marshal Jomini shifted his gaze from the soldiers outside the window to the royal butler.
"Yes! What the **** is going on? Why are the streets of St. Petersburg full of soldiers?"
Archduke Constantine felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his keen intuition told him that something big seemed to have happened here.
"Marshal, Grand Duke!" The royal housekeeper pondered for a moment, and then Constantine and Jomini said: "The situation here is very complicated, and it will not be clear for a while! You will know everything when you arrive at the palace!"
After speaking, the royal butler turned his head out of the car window.
Seeing that the royal housekeeper was unwilling to tell the truth, Constantine and Jomini did not continue to persecute him. With some doubts in their hearts, they soon arrived in front of a baroque palace in the royal village.
The carriage slowly stopped facing the gate of the palace, and the royal butler respectfully said to Jomini and Constantine, "Marshal, Grand Duke! We are here!"
Jomini and Constantine got off the carriage, stepped on the steps of the same palace, and ran into an old man in military uniform at the gate of the palace, who seemed to be standing here specially to greet them.
"His Royal Highness (the duke is also called the prince, and can also be called his highness)/Duke Golitsyn!" Marshal Jomini and Archduke Constantine bowed and saluted the old-fashioned noble in front of them with a serious look.
"Archduke Konstantin, Marshal Jomini!" Duke Golitsyn's face also showed a solemn application, "I am here to greet you by order of Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me!" Archduke Konstantin immediately responded to Duke Golitsyn.
"The duty is, don't dare to refuse at all!
Duke Golitsyn responded humbly, and then respectfully said to Archduke Constantine and Marshal Jomini: "Please come with me!" "
Under the leadership of Duke Golitsyn, Archduke Konstantin and Marshal Jomini came to the gate of a house with guards on both sides.
At this time, Archduke Konstantin still didn't know about Nicholas I's condition. He pointed to the door in front of him and asked Duke Golitsyn: "Duke Golitsyn, what are you bringing me here for! We shouldn't Are you going to the hall?"
"Archduke Konstantin, His Majesty is in this room!" Duke Golitsyn said as he ordered the two guards to open the door.
After hearing Duke Golitsyn's order, the guard gently opened the door.
Archduke Konstantin and Marshal Jomini, who were standing at the door, suddenly felt a heat wave, and then Duke Golitsyn's voice came from their ears: "Please!"
Archduke Konstantin and Marshal Jomini entered the room without hesitation. Duke Golitsyn, who followed Archduke Konstantin and Marshal Jomini toward the bedroom, stopped briefly in front of the two guards, and then He gave them a look calmly, and the two guards also nodded understandingly.
After Duke Golitsyn entered the room, the bedroom door closed again.
Constantine and Marshal Jomini, who entered the room, saw Nicholas I at once. At this time, Nicholas I was lying on the sofa by the fireplace, although the bedroom became extraordinarily warm because of the burning fireplace. But Nicholas I's face was still pale.
"Father/Your Majesty!" Seeing Nicholas I in front of him, Marshal Jomini and Archduke Constantine couldn't help but speed up and came to Nicholas I.
"You are back!" Nicholas I, who was lying on the sofa, glanced at Archduke Constantine and Marshal Jomini with a reluctant smile on their faces.
"Father, what the **** is going on?" Archduke Constantine walked up to Nicholas I, held Nicholas I's hand and said urgently, "What happened while I was away? How did you become like this!"
"Nothing!" Nicholas I responded to Archduke Constantine shaking his head.
"I don't believe it!" Archduke Constantine still stubbornly asked Nicholas I: "Father, what happened during this time?"
"It's really no big deal!" Nicholas I still shook his head, he didn't want his son to worry about his safety.
"Then what happened to your body!" Archduke Constantine said to Nicholas I.
"Recently, due to the temperature, I have occasionally felt a cold!" Nicholas I explained to Archduke Constantine: "It will be fine after a while!"
"Really?" Archduke Konstantin didn't believe what Nicholas I said. He turned his eyes to Duke Golitsyn, and his eyes seemed to ask whether Duke Golitsyn's father's words were true.
"Your Majesty, what you said is indeed true!" Duke Golitsyn responded with an oath.
"That's good!" Archduke Constantine involuntarily urged, "Father, you'd better rest more, and then..."
"Okay! Stop talking about this!" Nicholas I interrupted Archduke Constantine's words, and then asked the Archduke Constantine with a sullen face: "Constantine, what the **** are you doing? What's going on? How can you say that to an imperial marshal in the Crimea, who gave you the right to question a marshal who made great achievements for Russia? Who do you think you are? Tsar ?"
"I know I was wrong!" Archduke Constantine responded to Nicholas I with his head down.
"Idiot!" Nicholas I cursed bitterly, then pointed to Marshal Jomini and said to Archduke Constantine: "It's not me who you want to apologize, but Marshal Jomini!"
"Marshal, I was wrong!" Constantine turned around and apologized to Marshal Jomini, "I shouldn't have said those words, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
After speaking, Archduke Constantine bowed sincerely to Marshal Jomini.
Marshal Jomini hurriedly rescued Archduke Constantine. He told Nicholas I that Archduke Constantine had done nothing wrong. As a Frenchman, he should not have interfered excessively with the Russian army, no matter if it was the victory of France. , or the victory of Russia, will be something he does not want to see, so please allow Nicholas I to resign the title of Chief of Staff and Military Advisor of the Russian Empire.
In the face of Marshal Jomini's request, Nicholas I refused without hesitation.
He told Jomini that now is the time to employ people in the Russian Empire, and Jomini must not leave.
"Your Majesty, it is enough to have Commander Gorchakov in Crimea!" Marshal Jomini replied to Nicholas I.
"You mean Gorchakov can help Russia win this war?" Nikolai I asked Marshal Jomini.
Marshal Jomini was silent. As a famous general, he had his own pride. He himself could not defeat the French army. How could Gorchakov win.
What's more, he has seen the level of Gorchakov's fighting.
To tell the truth, if the Russian Empire and the French Empire can now be on the same starting line in equipment, then Gorchakov may become a law-abiding commander.
Unfortunately, the French Empire was far behind the Russian Empire in terms of equipment and logistics.
The Russian army, which has fallen a lot in the field of rifles and artillery, cannot do much substantial damage to France at all.
Therefore, Gorchakov's ability to defend the existing city is already a very good thing.
Looking at Jomini who said nothing, Nicholas I immediately understood the thoughts of Marshal Jomini, and he once again asked Marshal Jomini what he thought about this battle!
"Your Majesty, I think it's time for the current Russian Empire to seek peace!" Marshal Jomini responded to Nicholas I.
"Okay! Got it!" Nicholas I responded calmly to Marshal Jomini, and then he turned his attention to Archduke Constantine: "What do you think?"
"Father, I think Marshal Jomini is right!" On the way from Perekop to Moscow, Archduke Constantine saw a lot, and heard a lot of things that UU could not see before reading www.uukanshu.com The sound he couldn't hear before, he also realized that the entire Russian Empire is like sitting in a crater, and if you are not careful, you will repeat the mistakes of France, so his thoughts gradually begin to change.
"Yeah!" Nicholas I also nodded calmly, "Right! The conditions of that little brat of Jerome Bonaparte should still be in your hands!"
Marshal Jomini hurriedly handed Nicholas I a handwritten letter from Alexander II, who opened the envelope and carefully reviewed the contents of the letter.
Alexander II's letter not only mentioned Jerome Bonaparte's conditions, but also proposed to Nicholas I that it is best to negotiate with the French Empire and the Russian Empire as soon as possible, even if they lose part of their interests.
Nicholas I, who read the letter, felt angry and at the same time lost.
With a high self-esteem, he would never allow himself to fail, nor would he allow anyone to go against his will.
Now the French Empire has severely hit him in the face, and his generals and ministers are also constantly going against his will.
Yawen Bar
Marshal Jomini, Orlov, Dolgorukov, and his two sons are all secretly and secretly persuading them to negotiate peace as soon as possible against their will.
Could it be that I really want to become a disgrace to the entire Romanov family?
Nicholas I thought restlessly, at this moment he seemed to have seen Jerome Bonaparte's smug face.
Do not! I will never allow it!
Nicholas I roared inwardly, and he turned his eyes to Duke Golitsyn. He believed that this family, who had been loyal to the tsar for generations, would definitely stand by him.
"Golitsyn, what do you think?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
