Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

In the court of Petersburg, as an expert in military training, Tsar Paul had already understood the stupid actions of the Austrians in front. In order to force Suvorov's army to enter the Swiss battlefield early, they drew Archduke Karl's main force to the Rhine River in advance.

Although the Archduke left a troop to guard the traffic line behind, Soult's strong attack completely defeated the Austrian army on September 25, and Korsakov's failure was even more unforgivable.

The Tsar decided to recall all Russian troops, including those in Britain. The failure of the Anglo-Russian coalition in the Netherlands eventually trapped them under the lowlands created by the sea. Many corps lost their flags, especially the Russian front-line commanders General Hermann and Baron von Essen were captured, and the flag of a grenadier regiment was also taken away.

The failure can be said to come from the British plan. They attacked in several directions, and their troops were scattered like pepper, and they had to move several corps back and forth on the battlefield. It would be strange if they didn't fail!

But what is more shameful is the Austrians' betrayal. The British at least gave a heads-up when they acted, and they also agreed with the Russian Tsar's policy that Archduke Karl would start the action after all the attached troops arrived at their respective positions.

"The main responsibility can be said to be on the Austrians, Your Majesty. But you also know that Austria's foreign policy has always been like this, the same as the British foreign policy for 300 years, except that they send their Habsburg girls to other countries to be queens."

"Now we have had enough, Saltykov, go to the Diplomatic Academy and tell Count Rostopchin that we want to change the established policy. It is because of the Austrians' betrayal and the transfer of troops back and forth that we have lost so many people in Zurich and the mountains of Switzerland, just to keep Italy, which was controlled by the Austrians in the past!"

Paul does have reason to be dissatisfied, and withdrawing all the Russian troops from the front is what he has to do now.

Except for Admiral Ushakov's fleet and a Russian grenadier battalion temporarily withdrawn from Veneto, which were still in Corfu and Malta, the rest of the Russian army had to be gradually withdrawn from Britain, Bohemia and South Germany.

Another fact that made Paul dissatisfied was that the Austrian side did not intend to reach an agreement with the French on the exchange of prisoners. The prisoners and wounded captured by the Allied and French forces on the battlefield would be exchanged during the next armistice period. In particular, there were thousands of Russian prisoners, and more were Austrian and Neapolitan troops captured in several wars.

In this way, for Tsar Paul, the military honors that had been obtained could be shared with the Austrians, but there was no need to keep the army on the front line, just to satisfy the narrow interests of the Habsburg emperor and his dynasty.

Fortunately, his daughter was not married to Archduke Joseph. Although the young man had good morals, his brother, the emperor, was short-sighted. Alexandra might have been in trouble if she went there. Fortunately, the eldest nephew of Württemberg came. Although this guy was unreliable, he was good to his daughter.

Perhaps it was another reason. Alexandra had a very tall figure, especially the plumpest breasts among the sisters. The four older sisters were distinguished by their figures. More obvious were Elena's slender legs, Maria's plump buttocks and Catherine's slender neck. Although they were processed according to the "standard", there were still some deviations. When it came to Anna, who knew what the youngest would look like in the future?

The engagement had been completed, and now Tsar Paul was waiting to arrange for the two daughters to get married.

As an old father, he must be reluctant to let go. He also asked the whole family to return to Petersburg. Since Constantine had almost completed the expedition with Marshal Suvorov and had to come back, he also had to adjust the relationship between his son and daughter-in-law. It couldn't be like this. I didn't know that Juliana would not have planned to come back if she didn't come back to attend the wedding of her two sisters-in-law. She would have lived in Saxony's house.

The good thing about the family was probably that the two daughters-in-law had unloaded goods one after another, but the empress had two sons at that time before giving birth to six girls in a row, raising five, and then two sons. When it came to his son, he gave birth to three daughters in a row, but not a single son.

He was a little worried, even looking at the two younger sons, they still needed time to grow up, and the future was really hard to predict, and the issue of having children was not something he could decide.

However, when naming Constantine's child, don't wait for him to come back from the front line. The grandfather can always decide, but he also heard from his wife that there were some scars on his daughter-in-law's body that had become lighter, which seemed to be the good things done by his son before he set off.

No matter what, he still had to teach his son a lesson. What he cared more about was naming this granddaughter who was a complete surprise.

In the end, he named the girl Sophia, which matched the name of the queen before she got married.

Another important thing was that for the contribution of Prince Marshal Suvorov, he should be awarded the honorary rank of Grand Marshal, and a triumphal ceremony should be held in St. Petersburg, and a statue should be erected in the Mars Square.

The order was quickly sent to Prague and Vienna, and it also came with a diplomatic note to the Austrian emperor.

At this time in Prague, the Russian army was still reorganizing its troops after arriving in Bohemia. Although there are only 34,000 people available now, 4,000 of them are exiled legions recruited by Prince Condé's family. Their combat effectiveness is good, but it is a pity that because of The two old princes of Condé had conflicts with Francis II, and the funds for the 10,000-man legion were cut off. If the British had not left a fee, the legion would not even have this airs now.

When Grand Duke Constantine went to entertain three generations of Prince Condé, he brought several generals with him. The old marshal himself did not attend. This kind of salon-style banquet was too energy-consuming. Suvorov really wanted to From a military perspective, if we want to launch an attack on the French, we must fight out of Bavaria this time and get behind the French.

But this was always a plan. Now Grand Duke Constantine's important task is to chat with Duke Enghien.

This one was originally going to become a brother-in-law with Alexander, but due to the interference of the French, the trip was not possible in the end. What they were discussing was also the recent trend of this kind of marriage.

"There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration in marriage. My two sisters are getting married. Elena is marrying Mecklenburg. Alexandra has not reached an agreement with Archduke Joseph before. My father hastened to marry Württemberg. William was summoned to Petersburg. I don’t think highly of him, even though he is a cousin.”

The Duke of Enghien could only shrug his shoulders and express his helplessness. This handsome only son of the Condé family had heard of Constantine's ridiculous behavior. It was said that he used a gun to shoot at the top of the vase at home to scare his wife, and "love." "Whip" and the like, but I also know that this is a fierce and brave general. If you want to continue the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty, it is still necessary to make friends with the Russian royal family.

"But marriage can sometimes change a person. My engagement had to be changed. There is no way I can help it. Now I have to arrange a blind date with another girl. Even if we are not in France now, this kind of thing still has to be arranged."

Of course, he might not be able to get the Russian princess, but he was interested in helping matchmaking with the little cake living in Dresden, and he also found out for himself which princess of the principality was currently waiting to be married.

According to reports in Paris tabloids, he seemed to have had a mistress and a pair of twin illegitimate daughters while he was still in Paris. However, the specific situation is unknown. After all, there is no competitor named "The Sun" among newspapers in Paris. Yes, I heard that the newspaper with this name was originally a tabloid from the "Tory Party". A man named Arthur Wellesley liked this newspaper very much.

"Yes, you should indeed get married early. The messenger from the palace sent a letter saying that my wife gave birth to a girl. Could it be that it was really at that time?"

"Ahem, Your Highness, when you are with a woman, you still need passion. We French people know this best! It is not the method you think, but congratulations on becoming a father."

"But my wife and my sister-in-law all gave birth to girls. I think when my father sends people to call me back again, he will urge my brother and I to have more children."

"Then you must take good care of your wife, especially those princesses of Saxony, they are all charming stars."

"But one of her sisters married my uncle."

Duke Enghien liked Constantine's straightforwardness very much, but he was a bit unscrupulous. Russia's "noble circle is really chaotic" is second only to France. Britain is a weirdo on another track. Don't tell it. Think of Potemkin. The prince's nieces will know.

"You have already married, and Her Majesty the Queen has decided to treat your wife well when she was still alive. This kind of thing should start from small things. What I am worried about is that your wife will be disgraced because of your reckless behavior in the past. Losing patience. And your brother, His Royal Highness Alexander, is very good at flattering girls. In Petersburg before I left for the expedition, the Crown Princess Elizabeth was so close to him."

But Grand Duke Constantine really didn't know anything about women's problems, and it would take a long time for him to understand.

However, Duke Enghien told him to be good to his wife, and he listened to this. After all, his wife gave him a daughter. If he didn't understand this, he would really be stupider than a donkey.

For this, he had to find Solovyov. After all, this was his uncle's small partner, and he came up with many clever ideas.

At that time, Solovyov was communicating with General Miloradovich about how to be liked by girls in social situations.

"You are handsome, which is good, Mishka. And in front of several highnesses, the attitude of the little girls and the female officers around you towards you can be seen."

This general's popularity with women is so good that others would be jealous of him, but in other words, he is just greedy. After all, he can be very proud of himself.

Grand Duke Constantine came over at this time and snatched Solovyov away.

His approach is indeed that of a "straight man". Although they are both of German descent, he is the Russian man who most resembles a wife-beater in this family.

“Your Highness, I was about to ask General Miloradovich for some ‘little tips’ when you asked me to come over again.”

"I want to say, you are in business with my uncle, right?"

After all, he is now transferred by the old marshal to serve as an adjutant to the Grand Duke. This is a superior to a subordinate, and Constantine can adjust his tone to be "relatively gentle", which means that Solovyov saved him, but what he said was... It's always hard to hit the road.

"Yes, Your Highness, but now my father is helping to take care of it. I just provide some daily ideas."

"So, what do you think is a good gift for your loved one?"

"It depends on what she likes. Are you going to give a gift to the Grand Duchess?"

"That's right, so I called you here. If it were like my sister-in-law, a set of encyclopedias and catching a few dolphins would make her happy, which is considered simple! But I want to give my wife a small gift to celebrate the birth of our daughter Sonya!"

Although Solovyov was on duty at the court and had been to the Grand Duke's home, he had never seen the Grand Duchess once. He was really not good at this. It was only when the talkative Elena asked him to stand there as a painting model that she mentioned that the second sister-in-law liked flowers.

However, with Konstantin's level of appreciation, Solovyov knew that this person had no problem being a life and death brother with him on the battlefield, and had no problem being a good father, son and brother in the family, but he could not be a husband, because he lacked romance.

Solovyov could only take Constantine's two sisters, Elena and Maria, as examples. After all, one of them likes painting and dancing, and the other likes music.

"You also know that among the things I seized, there are two paintings by Italian artists for Her Highness Elena, and a violin for Her Highness Maria. This is related to their hobbies. In addition, the princesses also like different styles of perfumes. As a brother, you can give them the lavender and iris root perfumes they like. Can't you pay attention to what Her Highness Anna likes?"

Constantine slapped his thigh at this moment. He remembered that his wife still liked roses, including rose essential oil and rose perfume. Then he shook Solovyov's hand and said, "Oh, thank you. If you didn't remind me, I really forgot what my wife likes."

But now it's hard to save the situation. After all, he did too much before.
