Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 936: hesitating person (below)

Of course, Dmitry did not have the idea of ​​changing a tsar. Even if he is a firm reformist, he has not been radical enough to behead the king. He is at most a constitutional monarchist. He believes that Russia can follow the British path and have a constitutional monarchy. It maintains the dignity of the royal family without interfering with the political situation.

It can be regarded as the best of both worlds, the royal family has dignity and the courtiers will not feel too embarrassed, everyone gets what they want, wonderful!

So what did Nikolai Milyutin think?

Doesn't he like a constitutional monarchy?

Strictly speaking, he also likes it, but he feels that the current situation in Russia is not yet ready for a constitutional monarchy. He believes that Russia is still relatively ignorant and backward, and neither the tsar nor the princes and nobles can accept such an advanced thing as a constitutional monarchy.

If a constitutional monarchy is enforced, first of all the tsar will be very unhappy and he will try his best to oppose it. Secondly, there are not many people who support the courtiers. If it is not good, all the relatives will be betrayed and die without a place to die.

Therefore, he believes that the current political environment in Russia is not enough to carry out a constitutional monarchy, and he can only try his best to promote some reform measures, and it will not be too late to implement a constitutional monarchy when the time is right in the future.

Is Nikolai Milyutin's concern justified?

It should be said that there are still some. In Russia's ignorant and backward state, there are indeed no conditions. I think the Decembrists also rebelled in the name of supporting Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich as the tsar and pursuing constitutional monarchy.

But when they surrounded the Winter Palace and shouted the slogan "Long Live the Constitution", the soldiers who followed them thought that the "Constitution" was the wife of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, who would be the future queen.

You see, when ordinary people in Russia don't know what the constitution is at all, are the conditions for a constitutional monarchy met?

People's wisdom is not yet developed, what can they do?

From this point of view, Nikolai Milyutin is right. Russia really does not have the basis for a constitutional monarchy.

but? Whether the necessary conditions for revolution are met is not the key to whether the revolution should be carried out or whether the revolution can be successful.

Because the necessary conditions for revolution may never be ripe. After all, the revolution is not ripe, and all aspects will slowly wait for you to pick the fruit.

Because for most countries that need revolution, there must be major problems in the social form, and class contradictions are unprecedentedly sharp. In this case, the vested interests are willing to give up their rights and interests willingly.

As the saying goes, if the broom does not reach the dust, it will not run away by itself. If you don’t take the initiative to carry out the revolution and blindly wait for the so-called ripe time, you will never be able to wait for the ripe time.

True revolutionaries should dare to face all kinds of difficulties, dare to challenge all kinds of unfavorable conditions, and give full play to their subjective initiative to create opportunities, instead of waiting foolishly.

It's a pity that Nikolai Milutin is the one who waits foolishly. He always hopes to grasp the opportunity and take action before taking action, just like some novice Xiaobai playing real-time strategy games, always hoping to climb higher More soldiers will be armed to the teeth in all aspects before going to PK with the enemy.

But the reality is that the enemy is not so stupid, he will constantly harass you and beat you, and strangle you in the bud before you develop. Where will it be foolishly waiting for you to develop!

So Nikolai Milyutin's approach can only be said to be whimsical, with no possibility of success at all. A true revolutionary knows that once he embarks on the road of revolution, he can only face the battle all the time and fight to the end.

Faced with his naive thoughts, Count Rostovtsev asked unceremoniously: "Then when will the time be considered ripe? Can't you wait until the time is ripe if you don't take the initiative to fight for it?"

Nikolai Milutin argued: "At least for the time being, the timing is not ripe..." Bajie Zhongwen.com

Count Rostovtsev interrupted unceremoniously: "Before you told me that the time for reform was not ripe, and that was the same rhetoric, but didn't we win His Majesty to make concessions, so that he had to start reforming? ?According to what you said, we didn’t do anything before, and now we’re still waiting foolishly!”

Dmitry also criticized very bluntly: "The count is right, just blindly waiting, the time will never be ripe, only by taking the initiative can we get what we want!"

Nikolai Milutin still tried to argue, but how could he alone be the opponent of Count Rostovtsev and Dmitry, not to mention that he really didn't take reason. Under the joint attack of those two people, he was quickly beaten to pieces.

"Okay, if you want to take risks, then take risks!" He said with some resentment, "But I always insist that the time is not ripe, and you should act with caution!"

Seeing the unkind expressions of those two people, he could only make concessions in the end: "But you insist on doing this, and I can't stop it. As your loyal friend, I will cooperate with you in carrying out actions, even if I am very Reluctant to do this!"

Count Rostovtsev and Dmitry just looked at each other and smiled. It was enough for them to get Nikolai Milutin to make a promise. Although his mother-in-law and mother-in-law are timid, the promise he made still counts.

"Very good!" Count Rostovtsev nodded in satisfaction, "Now that we have reached an agreement, the next thing will be easy... Next, Nikolay, you need to do these few things..."

While Count Rostovtsev was teaching Nikolai Milyutin face-to-face, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com at the other end of St. Petersburg, Duke Dolgoruky was anxiously waiting for news. These days he was very anxious. Like an ant on a hot pot, or a headless fly, it has bumped into countless walls and been rejected countless times, which is called a depression.

It is a pity that the progress of the matter is still not much, and no one who is willing to give him a hand has never appeared. The first reaction of most old friends after hearing his explanation of his visit is to pretend to be stupid or serve tea to see off the guests.

This made him experience the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and he was quite desperate anyway.

"Hey, Duke, why are you in a daze here alone!"

Just when Duke Dolgoruki was in despair, little Adlerberg's mellow and full voice entered his ears.

Duke Dolgoruky looked at little Adlerberg with a complicated expression. He was not too surprised by the sudden appearance of this little fox. The reason was simple. They had already chatted once two days ago. The fox set a sky-high price, of course he refused to give in to such extortion, and naturally the negotiation fell apart.

But now, when he was most pessimistic and helpless, this little fox came again, and he didn't even have to think about it, but he didn't have any good intentions to give the chicken New Year greetings!
