Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 548 060 Stockholm has become an undefended city

For the Swedish royal family, running to Söderköping is probably just the beginning.

Even if Gustav’s brain is not very good, he probably knows what state he is in now. When this war ends, the crown on his head will fall to the ground.

The only difference is whether it is taken off by the group of people behind the uncle or falls on his son’s head.

It’s even more funny that if Alexander catches him now, the crown may belong to Crown Prince Gustav.

However, the king himself does not accept this result, and also opposes the marriage request proposed by the Russians before, so that Grand Duchess Sofia Constantinovna, the only daughter of Grand Duke Constantine, and Crown Prince Gustav are engaged.

Although it is the preparation stage of the daily baby marriage in Russia, it is just one of Alexander’s smoke bombs.

He is now in a state of hugging his wife on one side and his mistress on the other, looking at the children playing on the blanket.

It’s just a pity that there is no boy. This also includes the girls born to her maids who were adopted by Louisa, who were to keep the girls of their own family company at all ages.

Louisa was looking at her little daughter in the cradle, her face full of a loving mother's smile. She also looked at the twins twisting each other's ears for a doll.

It can be seen that the elder sister Paulina is like the father. The little child is very strong, far better than girls of the same age, and also very clever.

As for the younger sister. She has always been cute, and Louisa probably knows it in her mind, but the wit seems to have been taken away by her elder sister. She is more good at pleasing her parents, and.

For a cute person like her, it is really hard to figure out which father she looks like.

Louisa thought that whether it was Sasha or Mishka, they all liked to please others and didn't want to ruin the relationship, so it was not strange that the child looked like anyone. The only thing that could be identified was the green eyes.

Seeing this, she also lifted her skirt and walked over to separate the two of them.

Normally, the two children don't even sleep separately, but today it's strange. They started fighting for a doll, and they were a little...

Maybe the old guards learned the curses on the training ground, and they were somewhat tainted with Zaun.

Louisa looked at them, feeling helpless, but she pinched the noses of the two children as a punishment, and then picked them up.

"Lisa, this looks like something I did."

As for the Polish girl, she also came to help. Since Louisa had more children, her body has become plumper, and her physical fitness has improved a little. She doesn't look as weak as before.

She has to discipline the children herself, so she politely rejected the kindness of Mrs. Maria Naryshkina.

At this time, a court attendant led a hussar corps in, saying that it was a messenger from the front.

It was rare for Alexander to gather the two most important women and their children together today. It was time to enjoy the joy of family life, but work came, and as the emperor of all Russia, commonly known as the Tsar, he still had to ask about it at the first time.

"Your Majesty, it's good news. Count Solovyov, who crossed the sea, won victories in Gävle and Uppsala. This is an urgent message forwarded from General Bennigsen's headquarters."

"Misha lived up to my expectations. So what is the situation on the front line now?"

"Your Majesty, our army is now approaching Stockholm. When I set out, General Kunev had already arrived at our division commander's headquarters, and the two sides have been in contact."

"Very good, but the journey is too far. It would be great if there was a radio line in Finland. The radio used by the army is not very useful in bad weather."

"Your Majesty, the Count has already thought about this issue. This is his private letter, which will be handed over to the Royal Society."

"Your division commander is too distracted by other aspects besides being a soldier. The Grand Marshal was very worried about this problem when he was alive."

"Your Majesty, but our division commander is very capable, and he also left a message that he is confident that he can defeat the British reinforcements."

"Well, very good."

If Alexander had listened to what others said, he might think it was bragging. Solovyov's way of speaking was not as abstract as the Grand Marshal's, but always very practical.

When he opened the letter, the content he saw was also very clear.

Soloviev said that Sweden has already proposed a ceasefire request. At this time, the royal family members may flee south, but they cannot be intercepted. Instead, they can start a decisive battle with the Swedish-British coalition forces when the main force of the Russian army arrives in Sweden.

Alexander did not say anything, but it was obviously not good for him to capture the Swedish king.

You know that a forced melon is not sweet. You have to make your opponent feel desperate when he is at his wit's end. This is the only way to solve the problem. Now it is impossible to hold Gustav down and ask him to agree to all the conditions.

And if the King of Sweden really ran away, then the parliament should also make a decision. At that time, no matter whether it is the royal party or the duke party, no one will accept this result.

Therefore, Alexander's attitude is to fish. He is not in a hurry to make a decision, but to hand over all the power to the generals on the front line.

This old guy Bennigsen is really lucky. Because of Admiral Norlin's disobedience, he got the position of commander-in-chief of the Finnish Army. It just so happens that Bagration and Barclay have similar qualifications, and it is impossible to tell who is better.

He was able to be re-employed in this way. In fact, Alexander still admitted that he was the biggest beneficiary of his father's murder. After all, no matter which route he took, the conspiracy group would be disintegrated by him.

As for the situation on the front line, Alexander will not care so much now. Bennigsen feels that the credit now belongs to Bagration and Solovyov. That is, these two people will not mess with him because of their qualifications and age, and they always take the overall situation into consideration. Otherwise, he must go to Stockholm himself.

After all, this is a petty heart. Bennigsen has a bad habit of liking to compete with others for credit and telling tales behind their backs. It was not very obvious when he was in power.

As for Stockholm, the Russian army was getting closer and closer to the city. During the truce, Swedish troops could be seen moving around in and outside the city, but everyone knew that many people would flee at this time.

Those who were willing to stay were rather strange. Many people advocated stopping the war, and they were also local nobles in Stockholm.

".It's really strange, dead silence."

"It's peacetime now, and there are still two days. Karl, do you think the Swedes will take their troops away?"

"They will definitely return the detained diplomats during the armistice negotiations. You said it before. It's an obvious plan. We can't refuse it."

"If they are willing to continue fighting with us, the war will end faster. We go south to fight the British. The important thing is to destroy Karlskrona, the last important naval base on the east coast of Sweden. If we destroy it, the British will have no base to interfere in the situation in the Baltic Sea."

"Your idea is very good. After we go south, we will not let you command the troops. The commander-in-chief should come in person."

"I am worried about this problem, Karl. It is actually very dangerous for us to go out alone without guards."

"But it is safe to talk like this, and what we say sometimes is not suitable for outsiders to hear."

Seeing Clausewitz so sensible, Solovyov was relieved.

"It's a pity that there is no place to hunt here, in winter. Otherwise, we can go to the woods to hunt foxes or deer. It's exciting but not dangerous enough. It would be dangerous if there were guerrillas here."

"Don't talk nonsense. I know you have some predictive ability."

Seeing the other party say this, Solovyov laughed.

"Hahaha, I knew you would say that. Don't worry, there are few people in this area. Next, we should talk about Bennigsen. He has always been a speculative person. If he is the commander-in-chief, we will suffer if he is greedy for merit and reckless on the battlefield."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure that this old guy is indeed talented, but he is better at political struggles and conspiracies. I hope his edema has become more serious recently, so that he can't command the army on the front line."

"As long as Prince Bagration or Barclay is in command, you can play your role, right?"

"That's right!"

Just when he said this, Solovyov also found that they had arrived near the armistice line on horseback.

"Karl, we can't go any further."

"Well, we can go back the same way, but Stockholm is like this now, I'm afraid it's already undefended."

"We have to wait until the armistice is over before we enter the city, don't be so anxious."

Bagration would not compete with his junior brother for the credit of entering Stockholm. Barclay and Shuvalov were still fighting sporadically with the Swedes on the northern front.

"Wait until night to see it again. I don't think the city will be brightly lit."

Especially, the economy has been sluggish recently, and Sweden is located in the north. In winter, maritime trade is completely interrupted, and the land is not on the main trade route.

When Solovyov saw the city again at night, he saw dim lights. The illumination of burning lighting was not enough, and with the Swedish royal family and a large number of officials fleeing, there was no excitement.

"It's just that now, I have to take snuff, otherwise it's hard to stimulate my spirit."

"Do you like to put a snuff bottle on your chest?"

"No, there is always a mirror or a pocket watch with a portrait of my wife in it."

If it was placed in the past, it would be Louisa's. After all, they are married now, and he has always been willing to keep it secret.

"Do you miss home?"

"My wife is young, beautiful and lovely. She has given me a child. The place we live in is the manor rewarded by His Majesty and the new house we built ourselves. Do you think I can't miss going back?"

"That's right. My wife wrote to say that Her Majesty is still living in Petersburg recently. The princesses need to be taken care of, so she is helping there."

"That's not bad. Queen Louise has always favored you. Maybe you will have a successful career in the future."

"Not necessarily. I still prefer theoretical research, and staff work is also a part of it. You have to know that a person's ability always has a suitable position for him."

"In my opinion, this is a mathematical model, which is roughly like this, but there will be some deviations from the center line according to the sampling standard."

As for the curve drawn by Soloviev on the ground, it is the normal distribution. In management science, it is probably the famous "Peter Principle".

And the normal distribution is also called Gaussian distribution, because the law was summarized by Gauss.

Soloviev's private letter to the Royal Society was written to Gauss, which mentioned some of his doubts. Although it was a statistical problem, some standards can also be seen.

And Gauss's method is obviously a formal mathematical research. His asking for advice on this problem is also a preparation for management science, and from the perspective of education.

Soloviev always hopes to seize the time and come up with something.

As for Gauss's reply to him, he doesn't know when it will be. After all, this great man likes to do research, but he doesn't like to attend thesis defense and teaching work, but he is still happy to answer practical problems.

In addition, he probably wanted to move the faculty and staff of Uppsala University to Finland, but this plan would definitely be rejected.

He didn't do the excavator, and he was a soldier. If a military academy was built, he would naturally have a place to work.

If he really wanted to poach a famous and experienced university in Sweden, he would not have been given the opportunity during the armistice negotiations.

As for him telling Clausewitz about this "experience", he, the chief of staff, quickly put forward his own views.

"Even when we are training, there are always excellent soldiers and relatively poor soldiers, but most people are in the middle, just like the height of the soldiers."

"Well, it's a good application. If the war is over, I suggest you talk to those generals about it."

"This still requires the improvement of the entire theoretical system. This kind of content related to mathematics always needs to find a mathematician to explain it to us. Professor Gauss is also very familiar with you, and you strongly recommended him to come to St. Petersburg."

"In fact, he has been doing relevant research. Let's not talk about this. There shouldn't be anything today. We just go back and rest. After the armistice agreement ends, we should also enter the city."

As for the people in Stockholm who can really run, they are basically looking for ways to run away.

When Bagration arrived, the Russian army did see an undefended city.
