Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme
Chapter 2 Parseval Family
In the eyes of others, Auguste is a very strange child. Compared with other daughters of the Grand Duke, she is quieter. She does not like crowded occasions. At gatherings between Grand Dukes, she will always express herself in various ways. Refusal for various reasons.
In the eyes of other servants, this eldest lady is very cold, but she is willing to rescue a wild cat on the roadside, and she never defaults on paying the servants. Even if they make mistakes, August will not Scold them.
She doesn't like to talk much, giving people a mysterious beauty, a calmness that is not commensurate with her age, and an indifference to the surrounding environment.
……
After the tea party, August returned to his room. Like most nobles, August's room could be described as luxurious.
The entire room is decorated with the most gorgeous decorations, which is not a difficult task for an ordinary nobleman, not to mention August's father is the Grand Duke of this area.
On weekdays, August often reads history books to learn as much as possible about the history of this world. As a time traveler, she naturally has a longer perspective.
She was supposed to be the successor of socialism and was naturally very disdainful of the airs and etiquette of aristocrats. In her previous life, August was just an ordinary college student who was usually very interested in history and military affairs, but the surrounding environment did not give her a Good platform.
After graduation, she followed the trend and found an ordinary job, walking around the workplace and her own home like a machine. It was also during this period that she became bad at interacting with others, and even became afraid of others.
She considers herself to be a weak person with few friends, and her family always urges her to make more money to support her family.
After coming to this world, she felt quite comfortable. She could have a steady stream of income without doing anything because she was born into a noble family.
You don’t need to work hard to make a living. You have a big soft bed and a house full of servants. Your parents treat you well. Although you don’t have high-tech equipment such as mobile phones and computers, you sometimes need to stay in the library for several days to check some information. But August was quite enjoying it.
Compared with work in the workplace, studying one's favorite history is more exciting.
Many countries have appeared in this world, and the Parseval family has gone on expeditions with the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire in history, and also obtained a large number of fiefs.
With subsequent land annexations, the Parseval family probably controlled a vast territory from Brandenburg to East Prussia.
It is considered a very powerful kingdom in the entire HRE, but it took this war for Parseval to stand out from the HRE and become the second strongest kingdom in the entire HRE.
The Seventh Anti-French Alliance War.
During the reign of the French Emperor Napoleon, France conquered almost all of Europe with its territory from France to Poland, but it consumed a large number of troops when attacking Russia.
Later, Napoleon defeated Waterloo and France lost a lot of territory, and the Parseval family also gained a large territory from it, the Rhineland, a large territory from the Rhineland to Hanover.
This country is the Kingdom of Prussia.
In the history of this world, the family that founded the Kingdom of Prussia was no longer the Hohenzollerns, but the Parseval family, but essentially it was just a name change.
However, the Parseval family also followed the eldest son inheritance system, but the eldest brother and the second brother both had the right to allocate land, which led to the growing differences between the two. However, it did not cause much trouble anyway, and the two were just bickering. , not to the point of life and death.
No matter what happens, it will just split into two countries.
Again, this has nothing to do with August. Under normal circumstances, she would not be allocated land, and it is estimated that there will be no inheritance from her father that she can inherit.
Women in feudal society had almost no rights. Unless you became a queen like Victoria, the only way to have a good life was to marry into a good family.
But August must definitely say no to this kind of thing. She does not want to marry, nor does she want to become a political tool. She wants to leave Konigsberg and run away far away.
Brandenburg is a very good place, it will be the political and cultural center of Prussia in the future. There is also the first modern university in Europe. This university will produce countless talents in the future.
Even the famous spiritual leader Marx was a student of this university. It is no exaggeration to say that without this university, the history of philosophy and science in Europe would be at least half missing.
The University of Berlin may not be very famous now, but in the near future, this university will be like a carriage pulling the entire empire to follow it.
August had naturally heard of the prestige of the University of Berlin and had learned about its magnificent history. Now he might have the opportunity to change from a spectator of history to a master in promoting the progress of history.
……
Education has always been an important policy for Prussia's development, and August's father, Frederick III, readily agreed, although it was very rare for a girl to go to university.
But so what? It was not a big deal anyway. Friedrich III found someone to write a letter of recommendation. Having this letter was equivalent to having a pass to the University of Berlin.
But August was still too young after all, and Frederick III did not want a child who was only fourteen years old to go as far away as Brandenburg, so the time to go to the University of Berlin was set in 1833. Three years later, Auguste was seventeen years old. At that time, she was able to live independently in distant Brandenburg without starving to death.
