"For some time after my return to Petersburg, I visited every corner of the Russian Empire and saw many tragedies that I could not see in Petersburg.

At that time, I realized that Russia was rotten and backward, and although she had defeated France, I thought it was just another barbarian invasion of Rome.

We are far from your level in all respects, and our nobles will only plunder and whip the serfs......"

The Duke of Golitsyn gushed about Marcel. Yaruger speaks of the ugliest side of the Russian Empire, and his words are full of love for the Russian land and hatred for the tsars and nobles who live on it.

Marcel. Yaruger listened quietly to Duke Golitsyn's speech, and tried to analyze his character from Duke Golitsyn's micro-expressions.

Only by understanding the character traits 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 nobleman living in this country!" Duke Golitsyn's voice was slightly trilled, and his tone was slightly choked: "I desperately want to change, and I am crazy to find someone who can have the same ideals as me!" ”

Speaking of this, Duke Golitsyn's face showed a smile: "Under my persistent search, I finally found them, they are a group of young people full of ideals and passion; Like me, they want to change the whole of Russia on their own! So, I joined them and became a part of the Northern Society of Petersburg! ”

Speaking of which, Marcel. Yaruger realized that Duke Golitsyn was also an old thief.

Because the Northern Society, in the mouth of Duke Golitsyn, was precisely the tandem organization established by the Decembrists in Petersburg.

The Decembrists were able to launch a series uprising against the Tsar in St. Petersburg thanks to the help of the Northern Society.

It's just that Marcel. Yaruger was a little curious about why Duke Golitsyn was still able to wander between Russia and France leisurely since he had joined this organization.

You must know that Nicholas I, in order to thoroughly investigate the situation of the Decembrists, set off a bloody storm in Russia for several years.

Many princes (dukes) in Russia fell ill because of the Decembrists, and some dukes were exiled to the Far East for several years before returning.

Duke Golitsyn, as one of the participants in the Decembrists, had no reason to stay out of the situation.

Subsequently, the Duke of Golitsyn became Marcel. Yaruger continued to look at the doubts in his heart, "After several years of development, the Northern Society soon recruited a large number of soldiers who were eager to change the system of the Russian Empire!" Perhaps because the military were naturally adventurous, the association, which 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.

Satisfied with any further hibernation, many officers began to plot an armed uprising against their respective units in the event of Alexander I's death and thus liberate the entire Russian Empire.

At that time, I did not agree with their plans for an armed uprising, because at that time it was less than four years before the establishment of the power of the North-South Association, and our forces were too weak compared to those of the Tsar.

A sudden uprising was tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, but at that time they were so obsessed with armed uprising that they could not listen to any other voice.

Gradually, I was ostracized by the whole association, who first refused to allow me to speak at the meeting, and then deprived me of the right to attend.

As a result, I myself became a marginal figure in the association for the next three years.

At that time, I was also a person who was not willing to compromise, and since they would not let me join the association, I would form a new association on my own.

So, a year later, I secretly established a new association, which was more rigid and more calm than the Northern Society, and I named it the Loyalty Society in order to avoid the sight of the secret police of the Russian Empire.

Two years after the establishment of the Loyalty Society, that vigorous revolution began.

As a result, just as I thought at the beginning, an organization that has only been around for less than 7 years simply cannot accumulate much power!

Although their uprising in Petersburg caught the newly enthroned Nicholas I by surprise, the Tsar, who reacted, quickly mobilized nearby troops to kill them.

Many of my friends were captured in that uprising, and I was still in Marseille for the winter.

After that, the Tsar tightened his control over societies in the Russian Empire, many of which were outlawed and their members sent to the Far East.

In those years, the loyalty association I had established also had to move underground, and the contact between members gradually decreased.

It was only a few years later, when Nicholas I realized that there were no longer any more groups that threatened him in the Russian Empire, and that his own prestige was gradually established during the battles of the Ottoman Empire, that our community was able to continue to grow......"

"Your Excellency the Duke, so you've been developing for more than ten years?" Marcel. Yaruger asked Duke Golitsyn.

"That's right!" The Duke of Golitsyn proudly responded to Marcel. Yaruger: "After more than 10 years of development, the Allegiance Association has formed a huge network of relationships! From the court to the place are full of our people! ”

"Since His Excellency the Duke has such a huge force, then why don't you choose to overthrow the Tsar directly!" Marcel. Yaruger asked Duke Golitsyn.

After being silent for a long time, Duke Golitsyn smiled bitterly at Marcel. Yaruger responded: "It is true that the Allegiance Society has developed over a long period of time to form a great force, but the larger the organization, the more inevitably it will face internal divisions.

Some of the members of the Association have become content with the status quo for the sake of time, and have lost their enthusiasm, believing that the status quo in the Russian Empire is a deliberate choice!

While the other part of the members pinned their hopes on the crown prince Alexander, they believed that Alexander, who had a liberal idea, could abolish the shackles that enslaved Russia and let Russia throw off all its burdens and move towards tomorrow!

Speaking of this, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Duke Golitsyn's mouth, "They simply don't understand that it is simply impossible to get a tsar to give up his birthright!" Losing their enterprising spirit, they only want to rely on the Heavenly Saints to save everything, but how can there be so many Heavenly Saints! ”

Duke Golitsyn's voice gradually became hoarse: "Our nation has pinned its hopes on the leadership of the Holy Monarch again and again, in exchange for what, in addition to Peter the Great, two generations of Catherine the Great and the Holy King, what else have they brought to our nation besides victory and death?" Which of them truly sympathizes with our troubled nation! Russia under the impression of the cult of power longs for an all-powerful little father, who can lead the Russian nation out of the sea of suffering with their extraordinary might, but is there really such a little father in the world? (Duke Golitsyn smiled wryly) No!

Since Russia cannot pray for an all-powerful little father, then Russia should use its own hands to bring down the authority, build a new Russia, and let the flower of freedom bloom in the Russian Empire! ”

After listening to the impassioned speech of the Duke of Golitsyn, Marcel. Yaruger could not help but be in awe of the idealistic spirit of Duke Golitsyn's "self-sacrifice".

If Duke Golitsyn really did what he said, then it is possible that the entire Russian Empire would have paid for his own idealism.

"Your Excellency Duke Golitsyn, in you I see the hope of Russia! Rousseau once said: The flower of freedom needs to be constantly poured with the blood of tyrants!

At the beginning, France also completed the reform in the true sense of the word after killing a king and driving out countless nobles. "Marcel. Yaruger praised Duke Golitsyn, "I think that the Russian Empire can only be changed in the true sense of the word, as it was in France!" ”

Duke Golitsyn said with a sneer on his face, "Mr. Marcel, I'm afraid your purpose is not to support our ideals at all, but to provoke infighting in Russia!" Only when the Russian Empire is mired in infighting will you be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”

"Your Excellency, if you are not willing to act yourself, even if I say that the heavens are broken, there is no point!" Marcel. Yaruger said in the usual tone: "Besides, it is you who need our help now, not your help!"

Big deal, we're going to relax the conditions for ending the war a little bit!

I believe that the Russian Imperial Government will be willing to sign an agreement with us after the death of Nicholas I, and you have only one chance! ”

"yes!" Duke Golitsyn nodded and said, "Once Crown Prince Alexander succeeds to the throne, he will definitely make peace with you.

After he succeeded to the throne, he only needed to make some small reforms, give some hope to some people, and then the association I created would immediately fall apart!

This is my last chance! ”

"Your Excellency, what do you need us to do for you?" Marcel. Yaruger asked Duke Golitsyn.

"I need you to contain the Russian troops stationed in Finland, Bessarabia and the Crimean peninsula for me, so that they cannot withdraw from the battlefield and at the same time put on a posture of march against the Petersburg region...... "Duke Golitsyn told Marcel. Yaruger asked.

"Your Excellency, you should know! These requirements of yours require us to spend a lot of money to be able to achieve! ”
