Struggle in Russia

However, the big bosses at the top of the pyramid are not the focus of Li Xiao's attention for the time being. Even if these big bosses want to do something, it will not affect Wallachia for the time being. On the contrary, the actions made by some people who are closer are closely related to Wallachia.

The so-called people who are relatively close naturally do not refer to the Turks, but to the so-called Orthodox Slav brothers in Bulgaria and Moldavia next door.

On the surface, these two families are allies or friends with Wallachia, and they should help each other, but isn't there a saying called pig teammates? Unfortunately, both of these two have a bit of a pig teammate.

Let's talk about Bulgaria first!

For the time being, they still belong to Turkey, a grand duchy under the rule of Turkey, and they are actually puppets. It's just that as Turkey declines more and more, the nobles and princes of Bulgaria have already had the idea of ​​​​moving around. This time Nicholas I was so determined to make a fuss about the Bulgarian issue, and a large part of the credit is theirs.

It's just that the gap between these Bulgarian aristocratic groups and the lower class civilians is a bit big. The aristocratic groups are eager to become independent because it is good for them.

But for ordinary Bulgarians, whether they are independent or not is just that. Although they also desire national independence, if independence requires sacrificing their rights and even their lives, then they will think more about it.

To put it simply, for the Bulgarian people, they long for independence, but they will not risk their lives. There are even quite a few people who feel that they can still live under the rule of Turkey, so the desire to fight is really not strong.

This also caused the tearing of Bulgaria's entire national ideology. The upper class wanted to fight the fire, while the lower class drifted along. In short, the main anti-Turkish forces in Bulgaria have not been mobilized, and it is not very meaningful to rely on a few upper-class nobles to wave the flag.

It is a pity that neither the aristocratic ruling class in Bulgaria nor the Russian radicals headed by Nicholas I were aware of this. They thought that as long as they waved their arms, the entire Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria would be mobilized, and then they would fight Turkey with their lives.

Unfortunately, this is really delusional. Therefore, when the Bulgarian nobles tried their best to gain momentum independently, the lower class people were very indifferent, and almost no one came out to respond.

It stands to reason that the Bulgarian aristocratic group should be a little forced to see this situation, but they don't think so at all. On the contrary, they think that the reason why the people are cold is that their momentum is not strong enough, and they have not achieved enough publicity. Si minus bx wx \u0026 # Si

Therefore, on the one hand, the Bulgarian nobles stepped up their propaganda and agitation. On the other hand, in order to cheer up the stagnant people, they kept holding back some big moves, such as assassinating high-ranking Turkish officials in Bulgaria, and publicly holding some demonstrations and protests against Turkey. , or even simply entangled with a group of thugs who smashed, looted and sabotaged.

This series of actions really made the international community see the turmoil in Bulgaria, as if the independence movement was in full swing. But to be honest, doing so is also teasing the nerves of the Turks and pushing them into a corner. Xiru tianlaixsw.com Xiru

That is to say, Nicholas I kept waving a big stick and standing on the Russian-Turkish border to show off his power so that Turkey would not dare to openly attack Bulgaria, otherwise it would definitely make these Bulgarian nobles who did not know what to do or not bleed.

What's worse, Turkey's restraint and tolerance made the Bulgarian aristocratic group more and more arrogant. They mistakenly thought that Turkey was really a paper tiger and dared not bark their teeth at their Russian masters. Things are also getting more out of the ordinary day by day.

Only the first two months of autumn,

The Turkish magistrate in Bulgaria was assassinated no less than ten times, seven or eight mayors were killed, and a high-ranking official was seriously injured. In the last few days at the end of October, these Bulgarian nobles simply attacked the border city of Great Frano Waugh, declare the city a self-governing city!

This is the provocation of Hongguoguo. You armed forces seized power and declared self-government. Although it is only a small city, if your example spreads and other cities in Bulgaria follow suit, it does not mean direct subversion Has the Turkish rule been overthrown!

Naturally, it is impossible for the Turks to accept this result, so after the incident, the garrisons of the two cities of Ruse and Silistra immediately marched towards Vladimir Franovo from two directions. The troops quickly approached the city and surrounded Vlanovo with water.

It can only be said that Turkey is relatively restrained, because with their strength, they can attack directly and wipe out all the rebels. But what they restrained was to surround them, and then shouted to the city, asking the so-called self-government to surrender immediately, and as long as they surrendered, they promised not to hurt their lives.

To be honest, this is very restrained. But the "rebellious party" in the city didn't know which tendon was wrong, or they simply relied on being close to Wallachia and having the Russian father as a backer, so they really did whatever they wanted.

They directly shot the Turkish envoy who entered the city to negotiate, and hung his body directly on the city hall for public display. He even satirized the local army outside the city with disdain, that arrogance and domineering would make smoke even if others saw it.

To be honest, this is too much. It is the most basic principle for the two countries not to fight each other. What's more, you are originally a rebel, and the army outside the family is much stronger than you. What arrogant capital do you have?

Naturally, the Turkish army outside the city was enraged, but the Turks still only used the most restrained means to fight back. In the next day, the Turkish army began to violently shell the outposts and bunkers of the "rebels" in the city, and pulled out most of the nails without any difficulty.

Now the Bulgarian nobles in the city were a little panicked. On the one hand, they hurriedly asked Wallachia for help, and on the other hand, they continued to intimidate the Turks, saying that their rebellion was what the people wanted and that Russia approved it!

Needless to say, it was a big mess. Because Russia has indeed not agreed, at least including big figures like Alexei or Menshikov, they have not promised anything. At most, the Bulgarians were instigated by some guys in Russia who feared the world would not be chaotic, and mistakenly believed some lies that were not true at all. Mi He Mi

No matter what, once this shitty thing involves Russia, the nature of things will definitely change. The Turks are also a bit numb, so they can only ask for mediation by Britain and France on the one hand, and protest loudly on the other hand that Russia brutally interferes in Turkey's internal affairs...
