Chapter 754

Many people in the Russian army in Wallachia are as grateful to Alexei as Lieutenant General Wittgenstein, and they are not grateful to the young governor, at least they are grateful.

why? It's not that the traditional virtues of the Russian army are at fault. According to the research of later generations, among the armies of various countries in the mid-19th century, Russia was the worst treated. Basically, the rations of a U.S. soldier, no wages have been mentioned yet, just the daily rations during the war, the food standard of an U.S. Army can support one and a half British troops, two French troops, two and a half Austrian troops and four Russian soldiers .

Have you seen it? The Russian army is terrible in terms of rations alone. If wage subsidies are counted, there is really no way to see it, so the Russian army is indeed a gray animal.

It is precisely because the treatment of the Russian army is so bad that the nearly 200,000 Russian troops in Wallachia feel particularly prominent. What kind of life they lived in the past and what kind of life they are now can all be seen by comparison up.

Although Alexei and Li Xiao did not allow all Russian soldiers to receive the same treatment as the 748 regiment. But it is not easy to improve the food as much as possible so that all the soldiers are fed and clothed, so that they can live like a human being while being harshly detained by their superiors.

Not just ordinary soldiers, in fact, the lower the officer is, the more beneficial it is to buy Alexei. Yes, don't look at them as military officers, but their treatment is absolutely incomparable with other European counterparts.

Let's put it this way, officers below the Russian Legion don't want to be corrupt and want to support their families. Unless you are a nobleman with rich ancestors and don't care about military pay, you must be corrupt and drink soldiers' blood. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain a living with the little salary given by Nicholas I.

And Alexei and Li Xiao's gains from exploiting the old Wallachia nobles in Wallachia were used to buy people's hearts. For these grassroots officers, this income is too precious , They can rely on this money to live a happy life for a year and a half, and they can also use this money to buy a piece of land in China, which is more or less secure after retirement. Even if you already have land before, you can still send it home so that your baby has the opportunity to go to university and find a better background.

Don't underestimate the role of this money, because in the Russian army, the promotion channels for low-level officers are actually very narrow, and it is basically impossible to become a regimental commander or higher positions. As I said before, most of those positions are For the nobles.

It is precisely because there are few promotion channels and poor treatment that naturally aspiring young people are actually unwilling to develop in the army, which also affects the combat effectiveness of the Russian army to a large extent. After all, how big a deal can it be to be so close to noble children?

There are few promotion channels and poor treatment. Naturally, the morale of Russian officers and soldiers will not be high. Of course, that is under normal circumstances. But this time in Wallachia, because Li Xiao and Alexei were strong enough, they got a lot of benefits, and after a reasonable distribution, the Russian army was satisfied. The feeling of thanking the governor is naturally not to mention how good it is.

Now don't say that the boss, Prince Mikhail, hinted that they would help Alexei more,

Even if Prince Mikhail didn't hint, these officers and soldiers would be more than happy to help as long as Governor Alexei asked him to pass a few words.

So those Wallachian nobles and priests who had a heated fight with little Adlerberg in the previous period were out of luck. They and those local forces in Wallachia suffered a devastating blow. Those local forces were able to resist a little because they had guns and soldiers, but the former was a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, and was dragged out without saying a word Just kill it!

"What, it's been shot!"

When Little Adlerberg heard the news, he was really stunned, because the efficiency was too high. In Russia, even if Nicholas I wanted to kill someone, he had to go through a set of procedures, and It is not a common felony of treason or rebellion, which cannot be punished by death, but in the blink of an eye in Wallachia, people were hanged or killed directly!

"Lawless! It's extremely arrogant!"

Little Adlerberg was startled and angry, it was obviously aimed at him, but he didn't see that all the people who had been killed were those who had connections with him, this was a shock!

"I want to write a letter to Your Majesty immediately, and we must investigate such atrocities, and we will never let this kind of reckless behavior continue to happen!"

Don't look at the yelling of little Adlerberg, but in fact he also murmured in his heart, because Alexei's methods were too violent, and he started killing without saying a word, which was a clear warning to him .

Although little Adlerberg believed that Alexei didn't dare to really do anything to him, this action is still a bit scary, okay?

Of course, he should write a letter or he will write a letter. After all, as a special envoy and imperial envoy, he also wants to save face. If he is slapped face-to-face, he must show something, otherwise people will think he is afraid of Alexei when they know it!

Anyway, little Adlerberg firmly refused to admit that he was afraid of Alexei, even if he was beaten to death! Even if he is frightened enough, he is determined to hold up his own face. As the saying goes, if you don't write, he won't fight for steamed buns, but for breath!

"However, Your Majesty the Special Envoy, Bucharest is too far away from St. Petersburg, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth. Even if His Majesty Nicholas I learned of Count Speranski's atrocities and ordered a thorough investigation or stop Far water can't quench near thirst!"

Hearing these words, Alexei's cheeks twitched. If the other party wasn't the Patriarch of Bucharest, he would definitely leave in a huff. But the other party is the Patriarch of Bucharest, who has a lot of prestige in Wallachia and the Balkans, so he can only continue to explain patiently:

"Of course, there is a certain distance between Bucharest and St. Petersburg, but I will not sit back and watch Count Speranski continue to do evil. I will personally warn him, and I will also call on His Excellency Kogalnicianu and persuade His Excellency to return Come on the right path. Your Excellency the Patriarch, please believe me, I still have this bit of face!"

The old patriarch glanced at little Adlerberg with his dim eyes. To be honest, he was skeptical about this, because both Alexei and Kogalniceanu had proved with practical actions that they were really not very good. Buy the envoy's face.

However, the old Patriarch has no better solution for the time being. After all, there are tens of thousands of clergymen looking at him eagerly, hoping that he can help resolve the crisis quickly. He can't tell these people that he can't help it, can he?
