Chapter 210 Razumovski

The Gendarmerie commander who gave Pushkin a strange feeling was named Alexei Alexievich Razumovsky. Although he was only a major general of the Gendarmerie, he actually had a background.

The ancestor of this brother is the lover of Queen Elizabeth I (don’t confuse it with the British one). It is said that he secretly married the queen later. The old Earl Razumovski was very good in 2010, although Only relying on the ability of the lower body, he won the long-term favor of the queen, and he basically didn't care about military or politics, but he still won the titles of earl and field marshal for nothing.

Of course, in his later years, the old man inevitably lost to a younger and better guy. It is worth mentioning that he lost to a man named Ivan Ivanovich Shuvanov. The little Shuvalov is still related to the little silver coin Shuvalov we mentioned earlier.

Pyotr Andreevich Shuvanov is the grandson of the above cousin of Ivan Ivanovich Shuvanov. In other words, the ancestors of Alexei Alexievich Razumovsky and Peter Andreyevich Shuvalov actually had a bad relationship.

But then again, the fact that the relationship between the ancestors' generation is not good does not mean that the relationship between the descendants is also not good. But the relationship between Alexei Razumovsky and Peter Shuvalov was indeed ordinary, and even his relationship with Shuvalov was ordinary, and his relationship with Berkh was even more ordinary.

There is only one reason why Razumovski was appointed as the commander of the military police of the Black Sea Fleet. First of all, their family is from Ukraine. Although their family was also liquidated after the death of Elizabeth I, the loss is not It's not big, and it doesn't hurt muscles or bones.

In Razumovski's generation, although he can no longer make a fortune like his ancestors, it's not too bad to rely on some old relationships. At least the major general of the gendarmerie is still available, the only problem is his political leanings.

Of course, he must not be a liberal or a reformist. The helpers sent by Uvarov to Berkh must be his own people, so Razumovski must be a conservative.

But the problem is that there are all kinds of differences within the conservatives. There are radical conservatives and die-hard conservatives, but these have nothing to do with Razumovsky. He is not very loyal as a conservative. In a sense He just approved a conservative skin!

If the conservatives are not in power now, Razumovski will certainly cater to other establishments. Anyway, his political stance depends entirely on the mood of the ruler, and he will fall to whichever side the tsar falls on. Everything is to safeguard his own interests.

His biggest problem is that he is not interested in Pan-Slavism, or strongly opposed to Pan-Slavism.

Pan-Slavism was completely inexplicable to him,

Although the Slavs were considered a family thousands of years ago, but today's East Slavia and Yugoslavia have a dime relationship with our Russia? Why should we help them get ahead.

He felt that Russia spent a huge price to support countries like Serbia and Bulgaria. Why do you care about a group of poor relatives who have already sold five clothes?

Not only is he not interested in Pan-Slavism, but this brother is also a rare Protestant among the Russian nobles. He is also not interested in Orthodox Christianity, especially against Nicholas I’s new crusade under the banner of religious protection. .

This guy even advocates religious reform in Russia, abolishing some outdated old customs in the Orthodox Church, and puritanizing them all.

This is an out-and-out heresy in Russia, that is, Razumovsky criticized Zhang Conservatives, otherwise he would have a more difficult life than Li Xiao who was a reformer. Anyway, this is a weird thing!

So since the military police in charge of the Black Sea Fleet, although he has had to cooperate with Berge to do some things, he usually does not have a strong sense of presence. He also knows that his position is not popular, and he has no intention of being as powerful as his ancestors For a while, he just wanted to spend his life with peace of mind and comfort, and he was too lazy to get involved with other shitty things!

"General Alexey Alexievich, I hope you will fully cooperate with me in this operation...I am not afraid to tell you that the situation is extremely serious now. Commander Berkh can't do it for long. Once Constantine If the grand duke takes office, all our efforts in the Black Sea Fleet in the past few years will be in vain! We must act before he takes office!"

Razumovsky's physical appearance was the exact opposite of Pushkin's, who was fat and white, while he was thin and black. This man is dark and thin, looking like a black telegraph pole from a distance. Moreover, he is not only thin, but also very dark, his whole body is like bacon that has been smoked and roasted.

After listening to Shuvalov's request, Razumovsky sighed in his heart. He knew that his good days of leisure and leisure were over. The reason why his performance in the Black Sea Fleet in the past two years is so strange is that he just wants to dawdle. He didn't want to offend Lazarev's disciples, nor did he want to offend Uvarov's henchmen. Anyway, to be with the mud is to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day.

But who would have thought that such a good time would pass so quickly, and after less than two years of comfort, disasters came. Razumovsky knew very well what Shuvalov wanted him to do. Isn't it just digging holes and burying nails?

In fact, he is a bit contemptuous of this. He also worked under Lazarev. Although the old man didn’t like conservatives back then, he didn’t say that he would eradicate and suppress one if he found one. , As long as he has the ability, he will use it no matter if he is a conservative or a reformer.

This directly led to the gradual transformation of many young military officers who were originally conservatives to reformists under his influence.

It's not just those capable young conservative officers who can be treated with tolerance. Lazarev, a conservative old fritter like him, didn't say he was beaten to death with a stick. It is also passable.

But Berge is completely different when he is in power. According to Uvarov's request, it is either one or the other to employ people. No matter whether you are capable or not, you must first support the conservatives, otherwise no matter how capable you are, you will not be able to stand out.

In Razumovsky's opinion, this is a superior judgment, and he thinks that Berkh and Uvarov's eating is too ugly, not to mention corruption, and they have no achievements in fleet construction. , It's just mediocrity and dawdling...
