Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

The whole summer, Russia has calmed down. The British defeat seems to be no problem. Compared with the war between France and Austria in Central Europe, the scale of such a battle involving tens of thousands of people is incomparable.

What Solovyov can think of is probably Zhukov's somewhat polite but not so polite evaluation of Montgomery. The scale of the Battle of El Alamein is really not enough.

In the current war situation, since Russia and Austria are in a hostile state this time, the news from Austria is always delayed.

However, from nearby Poland, Russia can still learn some information.

The Austrian army's troops advancing to the Grand Duchy of Poland did not move smoothly.

As for the Russian army, it adopted a more ambiguous attitude. The war between Austria and France broke out suddenly. The Russian army was withdrawing troops to give the Swedes the final blow and consolidate its rule in Finland.

That's it. In addition, Alexander didn't want to offend both sides, so the Russian army went to support the French troops, and they were dawdling on the road, which was a "like a branch" state.

Now that the Polish and Austrian armies have exchanged positions, the two sides are staring at each other along the Vistula River. The Russian army has finally arrived and placed its troops on the side of the Polish army.

Soloviev is not in the Operations Department now, otherwise he would have analyzed it.

If you see the battle report, you can probably understand the intention.

And for Russia, there is no interest in Poland at this time, so it is better to wait and see.

However, a major battle in May quickly overshadowed the British army's defeat in the naval battle in Sweden.

There is no way, the final result of the Battle of Essling-Aspern was that the French army was defeated.

Although the specific situation is unknown, if we want to restore history, the French army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and lost Marshal Lannes.

However, St. Petersburg is too far away, and there is no way to respond in time.

There is one thing that may be more important, that is, after the war, the Queen Mother of Sweden will bring the little king to St. Petersburg to visit relatives.

As for the reception work, Alexander arranged several attendant generals who were not in office at the time to take charge, and Solovyov was the first to bear the brunt.

Why do you say that? Although he beat the Swedish army badly, he was the one who coordinated the last time the queen visited Stockholm.

In addition, according to Alexander's intention, King Gustav V and Grand Duchess Sofia Konstantinovna should meet, but this is not a blind date.

To be honest, his father, the former king who was deposed, also caused a lot of trouble.

As for how to come?

Considering the situation in Finland, it is natural to come by boat.

If it were not for the European monarchs, there would be no habit of Qin detaining King Huai of Chu in recent years, and something would have happened in Stockholm.

But it was only a few months, which was considered a friendly visit measure.

What's more, Russia's "inspection" tradition also gave both parents and the blind date the possibility to jump out, after all, there are always inappropriate ones.

As for what is inappropriate, no clear explanation has been given. At this time, it has always been the man's statement, not necessarily women using it, which is also a strange incident.

The peace treaty with the Swedes was probably relatively lenient. At least the Swedish naval warships were repaired and several of them were returned to Sweden.

Otherwise, this country whose naval warships were either sunk and captured by the Russian army or whose cannons were dismantled by the British would jump into the sea if they saw it in the treasury.

All kinds of warehouses in Sweden, all those related to military supplies, were cleared out during the war, and the Swedes even set fire to the tobacco processing factory themselves.

Solovyov occasionally used Swedish snuff to refresh himself, but now the supply source has been cut off.

This country now seems to have not much property to plunder except for agriculture, forestry, fishery and a few mining industries. Instead, Russia has to return the battlefield spoils it has obtained to the Swedes when it takes away Finland, the Aland Islands and Gotland.

As for some Swedish nobles, they don't care who their monarch is. Many people recognize Alexander I as their monarch because their property is in the Grand Duchy of Finland.

Nobles, in many cases, have to put their own interests first. If they return to Sweden, I'm afraid there won't be much benefit.

However, Amfelt should have no chance. After all, his head was taken back by the Kalmyks as a magic weapon. His family didn't have to collect the body because they couldn't find the headless body.

But there's nothing to say. If Solovyov, who was traveling with Schmidt, hadn't left a mark for him and properly placed him, he wouldn't have found the body. He could only erect a monument.

For Sweden, losing Finland might not be a bad thing. After all, Finland's legion and various garrison expenses are also a considerable expense for Sweden.

As for the ship carrying the Swedish royal family members arriving in St. Petersburg, the Russian army also fired 21 salutes at the artillery fort to welcome the arrival of the Swedish royal family.

As the leader of the nobles in St. Petersburg and a first-class civil servant, Count Stroganov still had to arrange for a reception.

However, compared to when Gustav IV came, there are not so many people gathered in St. Petersburg. Even though it is late spring and early summer now, there is always a deserted feeling.

Although the old count's family has been prosperous, many places in St. Petersburg have become deserted.

Some great nobles have even returned to their country estates, which is far from the scene during the empress's time.

This also made him quite worried for a while. Since his students failed in their mission to the Qing Dynasty, he rarely expressed his opinions on diplomatic affairs. In other words, some activities of the local nobles in St. Petersburg, such as grand receptions, always require him to show up.

Accompanying King Gustav of Sweden and Queen Mother Frederica to St. Petersburg were the court marshal Count von Fersen, the army general Baron von Essen, the king's sisters Princess Sophia, Princess Amalia and Princess Cecilia, and the prince or princess whose gender was not yet known in the Queen Mother's belly.

Alexander and Louisa were still willing to give face to their relatives and held a grand reception.

However, Queen Mother Maria did not attend because of the unpleasant things she had with the Swedish royal family before.

This was also a rare reception event attended by Louisa as the first lady of the court. As for her bringing her seven daughters to receive her sister and nephew, it was also because the royal family was prosperous but there were no boys, which showed a rather strange and delicate situation.

No matter what, Frederica had a son. Although it was because of the Russian bayonet that her son ascended the throne in advance, it was also a stop loss in advance. Otherwise, it would be a more catastrophic loss for Sweden.

On the issue of Norway, when Count von Fersen negotiated with Russian representatives in Stockholm, Russia had clearly stated that it did not support Sweden's claims in Norway, but it could guarantee the security of Sweden's western border in the peace talks with France and Denmark, and there would be no compensation.

Anyway, Napoleon did not have any opinion on the situation in Northern Europe. As long as there was no war here, it would not matter if it became a scrap.

But for France, if there were any actions against Russia in the future, Sweden would not have any chance to intervene because of the relationship between the Swedish and Russian royal families.

It is also necessary to consider that the Russian Queen and the Swedish Queen Mother are both from Baden, an ally of France. Apart from others, the mothers of Louisa and Frederica are more opposed to Napoleon. Although Baden is considered Napoleon's in-law, it does not seem to be very stable.

Even if Eugene and Jerome married princesses from Bavaria and Württemberg respectively, it seems that there are still hidden dangers. Although Bavaria is still a staunch ally, Württemberg, like Baden, always has a woman who opposes France.

Therefore, France's policy towards Europe should also change with the war against Austria.

As for King Gustav V, when he came to the dock and was received by his uncle and aunt, he looked a little restrained because it was his first visit abroad.

After all, his uncle took away a lot of his land. Although Count Solovyov, who came to receive him, was very kind, in Sweden, he could stop a child from crying at night.

By the way, the nobles and civilians of Sweden also recognized Solovyov because he was elegant and fair in his work. He even used the surplus rations of the Russian army to help the civilians. He issued Russian checks for the food and various materials he collected on the road.

This journey was quite a royal army, but it also made people feel scared.

Even if the sisters were lifted up one by one by him, and even the youngest sister Cecilia rode on his neck for a while after getting off the boat, she had no dignity at all.

This man still sounds very scary

The propaganda in the court was indeed quite outrageous, so that Count von Fersen had to stop and explain to the little king what was going on.

In short, they don’t have to worry about what the supporters of the Duke of Southmanland will do. With so many Russian troops in Stockholm and Gothenburg, nothing big will happen.

As for the uncle. Alexander is still very friendly to Louisa’s nephew, but because of the height difference, it is really difficult to bend down.

Just let Nicholas and Mikhail, who are slightly older than Gustav, come over. The height difference is also outrageous. You have to know how old Nicholas is. He is almost as tall as his master. If he didn't look like a woman and had long hair.

In short, the route taken by the master and apprentice is strange. After Soloviev coaxed the three Swedish princesses, he arranged them together with Louisa's daughters after the ceremony.

The girls should be familiar with each other quickly when they are together.

But when Gustav walked in front of Nicholas and Mikhail, he saw the brothers. According to the generation of their mother, they are still "elders", but their ages are very close.

People of the same age are put together. They can always play together if they look good and dress neatly and beautifully.

The main content of the talks was still carried out with Frederica and Count von Fersen. Gustav V now needs a regency committee.

Queen Mother Frederica, who clearly did not want to participate in political activities, now had to take responsibility and accept her duties as the regent queen mother before her son came of age.

Solovyov watched Alexander and Louisa usher Frederica into the Marble Palace. Although this was the official residence of Grand Duke Constantine, it was also a good place to discuss things.

Then, the task of taking care of the children fell to him without any surprise.

He couldn't drink much, so it was reasonable for him to be placed at the table with the children.

By the way, his wife was always at the table with the children. Today, both children were left at home. They were the "children's leaders" and took a group of royal children from Russia and Sweden to play here.

It was really outrageous. Solovyov and Katya separated the boys and girls.

Katya had a hard time, but Anna was the girls' sister-in-law after all, so she could always help her.

But Gustav was still a little scared when he saw Solovyov.

"Your Majesty, why are you like this?"

"When I was in Stockholm and Gothenburg, I always heard my father mention you in the palace. It was always you who defeated the Swedish army."

"You were not like this when you were a child. I accompanied Her Majesty to Stockholm at that time and held you in my arms. It's just that you were too young at that time. But it doesn't matter. If there is anything, you can probably come to me, whether it is something in the court or a problem with study."

"Count, I have a question. Why did you design this course?"

Speaking of which, the victims of Solovyov's pile of homework are not only the royal families of Russia and Prussia, but also Sweden, France and Italy.

If the British Princess Charlotte was not a girl, she would have been "harmed".

Gustav also asked the attendant to take out a red box. Solovyov thought it was a briefcase at first. After all, the British now use this thing, and he has seen it with Crown Prince George.

Then, Gustav opened the box himself, and inside was neat math homework. According to his age, the homework he used was also at the third grade level of elementary school.

"This is to improve the comprehensive quality of students, a necessary condition. His Highness Nicholas and His Highness Mikhail are both using this kind of homework, but they are older than you, so they are already using advanced grade tutorials."

However, when he gestured to Nicholas, Nicholas complained to the king's nephew.

"The boss's homework is terrible, I often have to do homework until the evening."

Gustav shook his head and said, "I think it's very interesting! My mother also wants me to learn more courses, Count, can you help?"

There is also this kind of feudal flower who is willing to suffer the blow of homework. Solovyov looked at his innocent smile and thought of a set of high-end content, which is the math textbook written by Gauss in his spare time, which is considered to be at the level of elementary school Olympiad.

Looking at his own students, well, I still have to give Nicholas some strength. (End of this chapter)
