Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 686 048 Louisa's Girls (Part 1)

In addition to lecturing Nicholas, Soloviev also noticed that the number of people walking into the Queen Mother's Palace in Gatchina was really a bit outrageous.

In fact, her place is often regarded as a second palace. Although the Queen Mother's power is not very great, Queen Mother Maria actually holds most of the power that the Queen should have, including most of the departments related to the royal charity.

This is the situation. Although the Imperial Village Middle School is indeed under the jurisdiction of Louisa, the Queen Mother often intervenes.

As for the Queen herself, she has also had a record of teaching, and it is obvious that the children feel very good, which is another matter.

In addition to tutoring Nicholas during the holidays, a group of his classmates soon came to attend the class.

In this case, Soloviev can't keep talking about Mencius. After all, if a few people here hear "the state is more important than the monarch", they may find a way to kill the monarch in the future. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to establish a republic themselves?

Ahem, this is not overthinking, after all, the Tsar himself sometimes has some problems with his brain.

When everyone is sitting here, Mencius is obviously not suitable, so we have to go back to the stage of the Analects.

Besides the course, Solovyov himself only has some rest time on Sundays. Considering that his wife will go to the summer palace and will not come back for a while, he concentrates on studying the current intelligence related to France.

The big comet in the night sky is already clearly visible to the naked eye, which means that the star is now close, and there will naturally be many interpretations.

But this has nothing to do with what those astrologers said, and we must prepare for war now.

The new news from the Balkans is that Kutuzov finally defeated the Turks in Rumelia. Now, except for sporadic battles, the two sides are now sitting at the negotiation table to bargain.

It instantly became a vegetable market again. In addition, the current situation facing Russia has also led to the gradual reorganization of the army on the western border of Russia, forming three Western Army Groups and the Danube Army Group.

Judging from the latest personnel arrangements, Bagration has served as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Western Army, and General Tormasov, who fought well in the Caucasus, will serve as the commander of the 3rd Western Army.

As for the Danube, Chichakov, who resigned as the Minister of the Navy, has taken office in Sevastopol. While managing the Black Sea Fleet, he is also responsible for this army.

So Solovyov could see the complaints in Langgeron's letter: What a wonderful arrangement. We already have enough army generals who don't know the business, and now we have sent a navy admiral. Although the Russian Navy's naval infantry regiments are all good, they are still amateurs after all, and they are not like you who study naval business in your spare time.

In short, he was full of firepower in Odessa, but he also did not forget to say that I am also the son-in-law of the Trubetskoy family, and you have to take care of your relatives. It feels that after he came to Russia, he gradually became the same as the people here.

Regardless of this, he was on the other side of the Danube and could not return to St. Petersburg for a while. Many of the generals on the front had no experience in commanding at the division level. Many generals who performed well in the previous war were actually arranged in the south.

Why was this personnel arrangement like this? Even Soloviev suspected that it was because Barclay's qualifications could not convince the public, which eventually led to Essen, Sacken, Langeron, Markov and others not being on the front battlefield.

In addition, the Western 1st Army was the main force, and the Western 2nd Army covered its flank, which reminded Soloviev of some bad things.

Well, it was the Tsarist Russian army in Tannenberg who sent people to their deaths.

If the 2nd Army covering the flank was isolated, there would be a risk of being eliminated.

He could see the deployment and had a rough idea in his mind. It was inevitable to think of a future case.

Speaking of which, in Tsarist Russia, the 1st Army has always been a standing number, that is, it disappeared for a period of time before the Crimean War.

Everyone knows the biggest problem of Barclay commanding the troops.

In Poland and East Prussia, if you really want to be serious, even Soloviev, who came from behind, was once higher than him. The strategy he proposed was supported by Alexander, and his personal ability was also good, but his prestige was not good.

There are still a group of militants on the Russian side, who also advocate fighting the enemy and not letting the enemy enter Russian territory easily.

Opinions from all sides actually make sense, but the final strategy to be adopted depends on whether the Tsar himself agrees.

It is unlikely that Soloviev will return to the army this year. He has to teach Nicholas while serving in the court.

But he can also understand the situation on the front line in advance, especially the deployment and personnel arrangements.

Indeed, it makes him feel uncomfortable sitting at home.

However, among the six armies within the 1st Army, the 1st Army, led by Wittgenstein, was defending the Baltic coastal area on the flank. The remaining 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th Armies and the Cavalry Army were deployed on the front. The 7th and 8th Armies of the 2nd Army were on the flanks. Among the remaining armies, the Danube Corps was organized into four armies. The armies of the 3rd Army had some of the style of the old era and were named after their commanders.

In addition, some elite troops are fighting the Persians in the Caucasus and cannot come to the main battlefield.

As for the 5th Army?

This army is actually composed of the Guards. The 5th Army also has the word "reserve" on its number. Generally speaking, it is a reserve force.

If you say it, the most difficult thing on the front line is actually logistics supply.

The only similarity between the French and German sticks is that they all rely on the weather.

In fact, the Russians are just more suitable for this kind of weather than them. When it comes to suffering, everyone's difficulties are the same.

If you are shot, you will bleed. If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, you will easily get typhus and dysentery. What's more deadly is probably the consequences of cholera caused by water pollution and the existence of various pathogens.

In other words, if your immunity is stronger, you may face fewer difficulties, but in the end, the disease will still come to you.

Not everyone is lucky enough to take care of patients during the plague without getting sick.

Therefore, it was the weather that these people complained about too much, but no one said that it was muddy in spring and hot in summer. God was actually equal. Some people were even lucky enough to have a warm winter. When passing through Corsica, others were affected by storms, but his fleet was not affected at all.

Napoleon before 1807 was different from Napoleon now, and Solovyov knew it.

"What are you thinking about?"

When he sat here, he didn't even notice someone coming behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Louisa.

Although she was the queen, she had never been arrogant and didn't care about the pomp. At this time, she was only accompanied by two trusted maids and four older daughters.

If the two were alone, they could probably call each other more intimately.

The children were watching, so he had to say this.

"Your Highness, aren't you in the Winter Palace? Why are you here?"

"If you're here to escape the summer heat, the villas by the sea are now full. I don't like living in Peterhof either. It's too noisy there. It's better here. Apart from a few boarding students from the Imperial Village High School, there are very few people. But you're a little too strict in guiding Nicholas's homework."

If someone else had said that, Solovyov might have argued a little, but Louisa couldn't.

Now she's a little fatter, but you can still see her slim figure as a girl, and even her symmetry is still just right. It's hard for a man who sees her not to like her.

"Then what should I do?"

"Don't be so strict when teaching, be gentle, and it's good when you tell stories to my daughters."

And these girls, there are two of his children mixed in, and even a daughter-in-law who is expected, but the younger ones are not here.

"Storytelling is different from teaching, but I will still listen to what you say."

"That's good. These children haven't seen you for a long time. When we passed by the garden, we saw you sitting here."

"Then there was Tonya. She insisted on coming to see you."

The twins were two clever little ghosts. They quickly pushed the responsibility to their eldest sister.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"What's so good about me?"

"You named Sveta, it's really poetic."

The eldest princess was a little bit truthful, but she just said it casually.

This girl is also unusually tall. She looks like a big girl, although she is only thirteen years old.

The remaining three look like their mother.

"That's just a selection of words from a poem, Tonya."

"The aunts like you very much, and we like your brother very much, but why doesn't the emperor allow us to visit your home?"

It seems that the two younger brothers of my family may have to repeat this experience. When they grow up, they should officially join the army, which is also a basic experience for Russian nobles in their lives.

But the truth is, you can't say that their grandfather has an aunt with two illegitimate daughters who are fostered in their father's manor, so it's inconvenient for them to meet, right?

"Your Highness, you are still the grand duchess of the royal family after all. Even your aunts only visited Count Alexei's home at the beginning. After all, he is their uncle, your great-uncle."

"Uncle Alexei has not come to Petersburg recently. He hides in the manor in Tula. We are willing to go to his uncles to play. It's really boring. Uncle Misha, don't you have a son too? Mom is always thinking about Pasha. In the future, she will let him be a partner for little sister Nastya."

This girl, there are no taboos. It seems that Louisa still spoils the child a little.

"My children are all in the villa over at the Summer Palace. You can only see me here this summer."

"Mikhail, you are a rare visitor here. You have been away all these years. The children are also a little curious to see you."

"I may have become a rare animal. But at this moment, I may still be thinking about military affairs."

"It is unlikely to fight with the French? Napoleon is now our uncle. We also want to see our cousin in Paris."

Speaking of which, with a new father-in-law, the name structure of Napoleon's sons has changed.

Now it is Paul Alexander Joseph Charles Bonaparte, with Napoleon's father-in-law, brother-in-law, elder brother and father added in front.

"You have seen newborn babies many times. Her Majesty the Queen gave birth to seven of you sisters in a row. When the babies were born, they were all pink little balls of flesh, and then they would grow up slowly. Some may grow up to be very beautiful, while others may become ugly, but the more valuable thing about a person is his character"

"Speaking of beauty, Sveta is still the cutest. Mom likes her and Pauline the most and always takes them to sleep together."

However, Louisa's preference for her daughters was not as partial as that of Queen Mother Maria, who gave the best to Catherine. The four older girls among the seven girls were treated almost the same, except that the twins were always brought around.

"That's because there are seven sisters in your family, three of them are too young, and as for the others, Your Highness, you are the oldest among the four of you. Oh, has anyone found a husband for you recently?"

"I don't want the children to leave me so early, and now is not the time to marry the girls."

Louisa brought the topic back, and Solovyov nodded in agreement.

"Your uncle is a very capable and ambitious person. In the past, I was considered his nephew, and I couldn't guess what he was going to do. Besides, I am a soldier, so I will naturally care about the defense of the western border. Don't be surprised, Napoleon is a person who cannot be guessed in the way of ordinary people. His ambition and ability may be beyond this era."

Of course, if it goes on like this, it will probably fail in the end.

"But I don't want a war either."

When Louisa said this, she also pulled Solovyov's arm, and pulled him over, which surprised the daughters.

But what she said later was still rounded up.

"Alexander is not so good at military affairs, you have to use your talents to help him. Our family still needs you sometimes."

"Well, Your Majesty, I will do as you say."

As for him kissing the back of Louisa's hand, it seemed more normal.

It's just that in the eyes of the twins, who are little and smart, their mother and uncle are a little ambiguous, but the two look more like close friends.

After all, they are already old lovers, not in the stage of passionate love, so it's not easy to see.
