Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

General Komnenos and his family lived in Yalta because it was where the Crimean Greeks lived.

Although the two old neighbors, the Celts and Scythians, were no longer active nearby, the Greeks had lived here for more than two thousand years since they landed at Cape Chersonesus, and the culture of Crimea was also influenced by the Greeks.

The scattered stones under the Acropolis of Athens should also be found in Crimea. If it is not too lucky, there may be some archaeological discoveries.

After all, even the current ground buildings in Crimea have the characteristics of that period.

He had this kind of impulse, and when he hugged his wife at night, he had to tell her stories - after all, she was a 16-year-old girl. In this era, she could get married and have children legally, but she was too young, so he had to pat her on the back while telling her stories.

In Crimea, both of them still remembered the story of Iphigenia, and the rest was the ins and outs of the Greeks coming here.

".That's it, Iphigenia and her brother reunited in Taurica, and returned to the Greek world together."

"But I always feel that this story is a bit strange, why must it be Taurica, Artemis obviously has temples in other places, why is it here?"

"It must be the content of secondary or even tertiary creation. You must know that in the story of Iphigenia, in the Iliad, she was sacrificed by her biological father Agamemnon, and then the sacrifice was replaced by a deer by the moon god. The subsequent stories all come from the dramatic creation of the Athenians, and. In our time, the purpose is also for propaganda."

"Why is it like this again, Mishka, the story you tell is very vivid, but why does the background story have a purpose?"

While speaking, she was still rubbing in Solovyov's arms, especially rubbing her belly against Solovyov's hand.

"What a dishonest little mermaid, you have feet, why do you always move like this, as if you are a fish?"

Before continuing to explain the story, he also began to caress little Katya and tried to make her behave in his arms.

"Mishka, you are so smart, just like..."

"Don't say that," Soloviev sealed her mouth with his hand, "I don't want to go out and fight for ten years, and then spend another ten years coming home, and see someone pursuing my wife at the door. They are also destined to die in my hands because I am a good duelist."

Six people were killed in one day. This kind of thing can make headlines in Paris and is a hot topic for a month. I wonder if the Paris newspapers have recently described that His Majesty the Emperor recognized a nephew in Tilsit-maybe this is not important.

Katya knew that she had spoken out of turn and actually talked about Odysseus, so she calmed down a little, but stretched out one leg again.

Soloviev had to grab her with her good leg and pressed her down in the quilt obediently, and then buckled the quilt on his side, wrapping the two together.

"That's good. No matter how dishonest you are, you can't move around. You can only stay in bed with me. Let's get to the point. We mentioned the story of Iphigenia just now. That's because Athens and the Kingdom of Bosporus have always had a good relationship. Athens even imported grain from the Black Sea. The largest share of grain trade on the northern shore of the Black Sea came from the Kingdom of Bosporus. It's really amazing that Athens claims to be a democratic city-state, but it has a good relationship with a monarchy."

"Then Cupid and Psyche, are they also secondary creations?"

"Yes, the Romans especially like this. But then again, since we are all here, we naturally have to go to Chersonesus and Feodosia. According to the records in those books, the two largest city-states in Crimea are here, and the latter later became the capital of the Kingdom of Bosporus."

He really knows a lot, and little Katya's eyes are full of admiration.

A general, he does his job well, and he is willing to continue to do other people's work, and he has dabbled in several aspects.

It's not that there are no such people, but they are rare.

The deeper areas of the Crimean Peninsula are the territory of the Scythians. Although the nomads like this peninsula, their settlements have been in the north since ancient times, and they have chosen a place to roam and trade with coastal cities.

If you look carefully at publications related to the Eastern Roman Empire, the Kherson Military District here during the military district system often did not control the entire peninsula, but was only in the cities in the southern part of the peninsula.

"It's interesting. I want to go to the beach. How about we go to Cape Khersones together?"

"Of course, but don't think about swimming. Although the Black Sea is a 'hospitable sea', the waters here have not been developed, unlike the beaches in St. Petersburg or other places. Besides, my wife wants to bathe in the sea, and I can only watch her by myself."

This girl, relying on her good physical strength, is indeed more... What Solovyov is more worried about is that the sea water temperature is dropping at this time, and it is not suitable for swimming in the sea.

Besides, I have never heard of a wife with a baby in her belly (no matter how many months old) bathing in the sea in this weather.

Louisa was swimming in the Royal Aquarium in the summer, and she wrapped herself up tightly.

This tiger girl

Although Solovyov wanted to complain about her, it was awkward where to start.

And to go to the beach, you always have to invite some companions. Little Katya invited all four girls from Komneno's family to go to the cape to play together.

For Solovyov, he didn't want little Katya to be too far away from him, so he told the girls not to play too crazy and just find a place by the beach.

As for himself, he did see some ruins on the top of the cape, but they were all broken walls and some Corinthian columns exposed outside.

"You girls, you walk barefoot like this, you don't have to worry about hurting your feet. If you hurt your feet, you have to find a doctor for you."

"But it's very comfortable to walk like this, Mishka."

"You are not village girls. You usually walk barefoot and get used to the ground. You girls are all raised at home. Even if you have practiced dancing, you don't have calluses on the soles of your feet like those girls." What's more, the sand on the beach nearby is relatively coarse, and it always hurts your feet.

After hearing what he said, Katya and the girls from Komnenos family put on their shoes.

As for the five girls, while they were taking a walk, he could also take a shovel and dig up the soil to have a good look.

Geological knowledge is sometimes useful, especially the soil quality of the battlefield, which is still very important for building positions.

It is also difficult to dig trenches on frozen soil, and the Vauban siege method will have to be transferred to the semi-shallow trenches on the ground.

As for him, after digging up a section of the soil, he still got some satisfactory results, and even dug out a pillar.

"It's just that my Greek level is too poor. What is written here?"

Although those girls are all from Komnenos family, their fathers have been living in Venice and Austria, and later came to Russia. The Greek level of the girls can only be said to be average.

Solovyov couldn't invite the pregnant Mrs. Komnenos, so he also thought of some ways. After all, he could recognize all the letters, so he copied them down here.

You know, epigraphy is not a Chinese specialty. In the vast areas of Eurasia, various scripts have always been a prominent subject in archaeology.

It’s just that the Egyptian script has not been deciphered yet, and the cuneiform script has only inscriptions on the cliffs in the Persian Empire for deciphering. Many ancient scripts are still dormant.

But as for Greek, no matter whether it is the church or the Greek communities in various countries, there are still many people who can read and write.

Even for Egyptian script, although the hieroglyphs have not been deciphered yet and Shangpolian has not yet shown his skills, the Copts are still using this language, but the hieroglyphs, a more special "hieroglyphic style", have been lost.

However, the obelisks and murals exposed outside can explain something.

Therefore, it is not that there is no way to decipher it.

Solovyov could understand some of the words in the passage he got, but he still couldn't understand most of it, so he took it back to show Komnenos and his wife.

"Ah, you are really thoughtful. You even thought of doing this during your honeymoon trip."

"Katya wants to play on the beach, and I can't let her leave my sight too far. The environment at the cape is pretty good. By the way, I also copied these inscriptions."

General Komnenos' wife, after all, was born into a high-ranking Greek noble family in the Ottoman Empire. She always knew something, but not much.

But she also roughly knew that it was written on it.

"It's probably dedicated to the goddess Demeter, and it means praying for good weather after the sacrifice. Oh, I remember when I asked a tutor to come to my house when I was a child. At that time, we were still in Constantinople."

Speaking of which, the Greeks are indeed more worthy of independence, but because there are always too many idle princes in German countries, the major countries generally will not directly go to the union or send their own relatives to take office in foreign countries. In the future, except for Serbia and Montenegro, the two brothers who are local monarchs, the monarchs of the independent kingdoms in the Balkans are all outsiders.

Even if we look at the whole of Europe, the more original royal family may still be the Bourbon, who is a branch of Capet, and the Habsburgs were driven out of the Swiss mountains by their fellow villagers.

In this way, Solovyov felt that he should indeed make some plans. He was not without friends who had connections with Greece, such as Mikhail Dolgorukov. His father had once gone to Greece to lead the locals to fight against the Ottoman Empire's expeditionary force.

As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there were also officials from Greece, and there were also considerable Greek communities in the Russian Empire, widely distributed in the mountains from Crimea to the Caucasus.

Yes, although the proportion of Greeks in these places was greatly reduced in the subsequent census, if a survey was conducted in 1807, the conclusion would obviously be different.

This situation occurred, and later Turkey and Greece went to war, and each cleared out the other's personnel. In addition, many Greeks in Asia immigrated, some to their hometowns in Europe, many to America, and some were even captured in North Korea and finally settled in China.

In short, they are scattered everywhere.

But if you want to find a suitable boss for the Greeks, it is obvious that the Germans cannot get it cheaply.

Solovyov thought about this problem, and he seemed to have forgotten that the queen had thought about it before him.

Alexander's name can be said to be related to Alexander Nevsky, but Constantine is different. This name is obviously aimed at Constantinople. It's just that the empress not only failed to give her old lover Prince Potemkin a king title during her lifetime, but her grandson Constantine is unlikely to become the master of this city.

However, there are more places to operate on the issue of the Greeks. The Greeks know that the French are not very reliable. Although the British are willing to help, there are more thieves who steal chickens and dogs. It is still the Russians who are more reliable on this issue.

The empress is of German descent. She married to St. Petersburg and was more active than the locals in protecting Orthodox Christians. She is also very active in Balkan affairs.

The more troublesome thing is that Austria has come to dismantle it before, and there may be Austrians to dismantle it in the future. At the same time, France is now stronger.

If you really say it, although Greece exists in the name of a republic, it is more in line with tradition. However, at this time when feudal landlords and capitalists are competing with each other, there may be a royal family on top, which is still useful.

However, this matter is just a thought. It is better to study the things in front of him. Maybe he can get something interesting.

Just like the scribes in the Middle Ages, they may destroy some books and use those papyrus and parchment to record accounts or copy other things, but hide the valuable texts underneath.

This winter is not without things to do. Solovyov thinks that Crimea is a place with outstanding people and great writers such as Chekhov in the future. He should do something here and make cultural achievements instead of being remembered as a soldier.

Many soldiers in the 19th century were more willing to find a side job for themselves.

His job is legitimate. He can plan the port and coastal areas while surveying Sevastopol, and he can also use the shovel.

It's just a pity that there is no excavator now.
