Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao felt very strange, because in the memory of his predecessor, his father Igor rarely taught him such a serious lesson, and he basically did not talk about the grievances with Nicholas I's family, let alone any missions and responsibilities and revenge. Completely raised him as an ordinary person. Suddenly, he said so many words that he had never said before, which made him a little unacceptable.

Old Igor also saw Li Xiao's confusion, and explained softly: "Before you were too young, I was afraid that you would be too reckless and make mistakes, after all, the tyrant has been planting the dog legs of the third department to secretly monitor our every move. One move, and a slight mistake will lead to disaster... But today it seems that you have grown up, and your behavior tonight must make it impossible for us to continue pretending, so I have to tell you these words. I hope you Don't let the master's expectations down, and don't let down the painstaking efforts of those who have been secretly protecting and waiting for you, just bow your head and be patient and prepare for it, I believe that day is not too far away!"

In fact, there is no need for the old Igor to tell Li Xiao to be ready to pretend to be a grandson next time. After all, he is not the kind of superhero who is so proud that he will disregard life and death. It is an instinctive reaction to be obscene and save your life. However, he still wants to know how much power is behind him. If he can use these people immediately, he believes that with his "wisdom" and "vision" as a traveler, he can definitely change the situation of being passively beaten.

It's just that Li Xiao couldn't tell his own advantages, and old Igor wouldn't believe him, and might think him crazy. Therefore, someone's ambition can only be endured for the time being, and he can only slowly show his ability and value to gain trust. I believe that if he performs well, old Igor's little friend will come to the door again soon.

Li Xiao said "firmly": "Okay, Dad, I will be patient. I also believe that day will not be too far away!"

Old Igor nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, young master. Hurry up and go to rest. Your transfer order will come down tomorrow, and you will have to suffer for the next period of time!"

transfer order? What the hell is that?

Li Xiao was a little puzzled, and asked, "What transfer order?"

"Didn't the count inform you?" Old Igor was also stunned for a moment, and immediately explained: "The count is here to inform you of the news, because you have greatly offended the tyrant tonight, so you are in Preob The job of the Razhensky Guards has been dismissed, and the tyrant, who doesn't want to see you hanging around him anymore, ordered you to be transferred to the 748th Naval Infantry Regiment as a company commander."

Igor was very angry about this, and seemed to have a problem with someone who could only be a small company commander, as if this was a silent humiliation. But to Li Xiao, this is neither a humiliation nor a bad thing. In the Preobrazhensky Guards, although he has the rank of captain, he is actually just a guard on guard, always being called around as a There is no dignity at all if you are ordered by a dog. Now that he has finally left that ghostly place, he can still be a real officer with a subordinate job. This is a beautiful job! He couldn't ask for more!

However, Li Xiao didn't dare to be too happy. After all, the old Igor was still watching. The old man's aggrieved expression was not fake. Obviously, for the natives of this era, this job should not be worth it. Sprinkling flowers to celebrate the beautiful job, he'd better be honest and have fun secretly!

Sure enough, when Li Xiao returned to work in the Winter Palace the next day, the transfer order came down. The news about Count Rostovtsev is really not well-informed, which shows that he may be quite unusual. After all, the information about Nicholas I was not something that cats and dogs could know immediately. I am afraid that the earl's companion was lurking beside Nicholas I. This made Li Xiao secretly startled again, because no matter how he looked at that The earls are all taking the route of conspiracy and rebellion. This is a tightrope walk!

But Li Xiao has no other choice now, he can only take one step at a time, and there is no need for him to do anything to see the earl temporarily.

Being able to leave the Winter Palace and stay away from Laoyin to force a family, maybe it will be lucky?

Li Xiao was still too naive, how could Nicholas I let him go easily, how could he make him feel better?

The reason why Nicholas I didn't attack in public before was because everyone was watching. He cherished his feathers and wanted to save his face. He couldn't bear the blow to his reputation, and couldn't accept being ridiculed and ridiculed by the nobles all over Europe, so he could only temporarily let Li Xiao go.

But it's only temporary, he can't tolerate an unsightly fly standing under his eyelids, when he sees someone, he will get angry, and it's the last thing to drive someone away just to keep out of sight and out of mind Good choice.

It is obviously a better choice to drive someone away, give someone a disgusting job, and make someone uncomfortable. And the 748th Naval Infantry Regiment is such a disgusting unit.

This regiment is full of hooligans, hooligans, escaped and arrested serfs, convicts in hard labor, and slack and depraved sons of the nobility. There have been more than one incidents of mass casualties caused by internal fighting, and the officers and soldiers who died in the regiment were able to publish a separate booklet.

Obviously, Nicholas I very much hoped that Li Xiao would also be included in that pamphlet soon, it would make him very happy, maybe he could pamper a few more beauties when he was happy! So he is also very satisfied with the person who gave him such a great idea.

"Count, your suggestion is very good. A bad embryo like Grand Duke Andrei Konstantilovich should be sent to the 748 regiment for a good training. I believe this will be very helpful to him and the empire!"

Count Rostovtsev bowed slightly and replied without taking any credit: "Your Majesty, it is my honor to serve you!"

Li Xiao never imagined that Count Rostovtsev was the mysterious person who saved him on the podium, let alone suggested that Nicholas I get him the 748 regiment for training. Not to mention that this earl turned out to be the confidant of Nicholas I!

It's amazing, isn't it? In fact, this is not the first time he has been so amazing. The earlier time was in the winter of 1825. When Nicholas I and his elder brother, Grand Duke Constantine, played football against the throne, he had a magical experience once.

As mentioned earlier, in addition to the miraculous event that the emperor became a hot potato that winter, there was also the sudden uprising of the Decembrists. This uprising against Nicholas I or the tsarist autocracy was finally suppressed. Five "leaders" were hanged in front of the Peter and Paul Fortress, and the remaining hundreds of accomplices were either exiled or served hard labor.

Among them are some well-known big figures, such as Duke Trubetskoy, and Duke Sergey Volkonsky, who was admired by the literary giant Tolstoy. But in fact, there is another famous person here, that is, the mysterious Count Rostovtsev above.
