Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796
Chapter 586 018 Why is this labor-inducing job assigned to me?
Colancourt was a good listener. Solovyov's words were a bit fanciful. Although they were clear and logical, they involved too many regions, which made him think that perhaps this unreliability was learned from Paul.
After all, after Solovyov returned from the Italian expedition, he was the aide-de-camp and the chief battalion commander of the Guards until a few days before Paul was assassinated. It was not surprising that he was influenced.
But Solovyov's plan was actually very feasible.
Now Russia and Persia are still at war. Before, the French instigated Persia and the Russians to fight. Now the British have become the ones supporting the Persian Shah. In short, they have to contain the British power and create more trouble.
However, if they get too far, Persia will be beaten by the iron fist in the future, and the result will be seen.
It's just that the Caucasus front has always been far away, and Russia's focus is not here now.
After all, there is also an Ottoman Empire of the same type there, and it is a greater threat. It's the same if he is defeated.
"You said it very well, but how will the war go in the future?"
When Kolangu's question came, Solovyov was very confident. He said slowly: "It's easy enough for the Ottoman Empire. The war in Persia seems insignificant because it is a secondary battlefield, so we can only watch it now."
Anyway, this battlefield is not so important at the moment.
If a war really breaks out, Persia and the Ottoman Empire together may not be enough.
For Russia, it is not wise to be restrained by European affairs. More should be invested in the south. The direction of the double-headed eagle is always ignored. The western border is almost there, and there is huge space in the south now.
From the vast territory obtained by Potemkin in the Russo-Turkish War, to Suvorov's plan later, and the control of Georgia during Paul's period, Russia is actually more interested in the Caucasus.
It's just that Solovyov, obviously he went there with the idea of breeding mold, and there will still be abundant oil resources here in the future.
But no one can understand that participating in European affairs will only be more dangerous.
"Michelle, this is not something we can decide."
"Yes, but I have another task, which is really a headache."
The letter was sent by Louisa to her only brother Karl. He and Stephanie have been married for several years, but they have never had children, which makes the sister very worried.
The reason is simple. Louisa's father actually died before her grandfather. Although Solovyov exchanged a broken arm for a few years of life for the Baden prince, considering his Mayer-like body shape, it is inevitable that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will be induced.
Now for the Grand Duchy of Baden, the heir is clear. Grand Duke Karl Frederick has been in power for a long time and has been married twice. He and his first wife have three sons, but the second son Frederick and his wife have no offspring, and the third son Ludwig has never married, so the inheritance can only be Karl's.
But there is also a crisis. When Karl Frederick was very old, he married Louise von Gelsberg and had three sons and one daughter after 1790.
Although the inheritance right is undisputed because the sons of the first wife are all there, there are still hidden dangers.
In the letter to Solovyov, Louisa made it very clear because the two were already in a "husband and wife" relationship.
In addition to Karl, Baden's direct descendants are the six sisters. Relying on the power of their in-laws and Karl's marriage to France, it can also ensure that Baden will not suffer any loss - after all, Baden and Württemberg are both geniuses who jump between the two major camps, especially the old man of the Baden family, who has been in office for almost longer than Louis XIV. Although he is the monarch of a small country, he is also very old.
But Karl and Stephanie, they have been intimate before, but they have never been in a hurry to have children because they are both very young.
Karl's sisters are very worried. Not to mention that Caroline, who lives nearby, has frequently written letters to harass her, and even the four sisters in Russia and Sweden are the same. It's just that because of the long distance, Karl can't feel the pressure from these sisters to give birth.
Caroline was close, so she could explain it clearly. After all, she was also the stepmother of Eugene's wife. If Karl and Stephanie had a son, it would be good for all parties. Moreover, Louisa had given birth to seven daughters in a row, which had already made the sisters very worried. Stephanie's figure was not bad, but now the slimmer one was easy to be associated with Louisa, which was very troublesome.
Therefore, Louisa's instructions to Soloviev were to find Karl. The envoy who could speak to both sides was probably him.
Moreover, the Soloviev family would go to Karlsruhe first. Louisa's mother knew that this family was also a relative of her daughter-in-law. She hated Napoleon, but it had nothing to do with this family. She was worried about the throne of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The old man's current daughter-in-law had always coveted this position.
When Soloviev thought of this, it was probably a vulgar palace fight, but it was indeed super outrageous that the side branch coveted it so much.
After all, Louisa's uncle Ludwig is only in his forties. If he is interested, he can find a poorer ducal family and marry a noble lady who is in her twenties and still unmarried, who is considered an "old maid" in this era. There is still hope of having a child. This lady's plan is likely to fail.
Soloviev always thought that this outrageous delusion was Louisa's unfounded worry.
She now felt that she was living a happy life. Her husband's favored mistress had become her best friend. Except that she had no son so far, her husband and lover were very good to her, and her daughters liked to be with their mother. If it weren't for the throne, it could be said that they were a very happy family. Even her husband was very tolerant of that "unknown" guy, and finally avoided some crises.
Elena had just returned to Mecklenburg recently and finally solved the problem between Christian and her sister-in-law, but the result was obviously not good.
Louisa would be more grateful that she married to Russia. The weird atmosphere here protected her. After all, there were always nobles and guards officers who showed goodwill to her. There were still a few people in a cavalry squadron who wanted to climb into her bed, and in the end only one succeeded.
Well, Soloviev was not complacent about this matter. He had to help Louisa solve this thorny problem.
After leaving Berlin, they had to continue to the southwest of Germany. There were all kinds of relatives of Alexander and Louisa along the way. When Catherine passed by here, someone would always entertain her. But they bypassed Jerome's Westphalian capital of Cassel. This guy was recently called by Napoleon to be scolded, and he and his wife were responsible for the wedding activities in Strasbourg.
In Hesse, there was Louisa's younger sister Wilhelmina. If you want to talk about it, her daughter will marry to Russia later. If you restore history, she will be the daughter-in-law of Nicholas' son Alexander. But that was in the future. The current relationship is just a brother-in-law.
And the unfortunate Gustav IV has been living in his sister-in-law's house recently. In order to avoid seeing this unlucky "evil god", he did not attend.
The next two are Baden and Württemberg. Karlsruhe and Stuttgart are neighbors who live next door to each other. Although the relationship between the two old neighbors is good, in Petersburg, the battle between the granddaughter of the old man and the sister of the 200-kilogram strongman is indeed a bit of a mother-in-law bullying her daughter-in-law.
But this trip will not go to Stuttgart. William and Alexandra are going to Paris as representatives of Württemberg. If they are in Stuttgart.
Speaking of which, Württemberg has to be crossed by the French and Allied forces every time it goes to war, and now it is so poor that it can't even make ends meet.
Even if Catherine, the closest person to her family, passes by here, Württemberg's finances are still stretched.
Although the Baden court in Karlsruhe is not rich, the old man has been in power for 70 years. Although he has spent a lot of money in his life and saved a lot of money, he still has some family assets. In addition, Baden's court expenses have always been low, and Napoleon has also advocated a marriage with Baden. Benefits are always given, and it is not so that passing guests cannot afford to entertain.
Stephanie's matter is also a family matter. Soloviev is very embarrassed now, and he has to mediate this matter.
Karl was still very happy when he saw him. He had a good impression of Soloviev when he was in Petersburg.
In addition, his grandfather is old, and the old man is just waiting in the palace in Karlsruhe. He, the first heir, naturally has to attend here.
"Mikhail, it's nice to see you. It looks like you are already a general."
"Yes, Your Highness Karl. This time I am here to send off the bride on behalf of our emperor. I can stay in Karlsruhe because of the Queen's glory."
"By the way, you seem to be my wife's cousin, right?"
Karl was right to say that the cousin who was recognized by Napoleon himself was also a cousin, but there was no blood relationship.
"That's right. My father wrote to say that they have arrived in Karlsruhe."
"Yes, your father and grandpa had a very good chat."
An old landlord who likes to save money and an old profiteer who likes to make money seem to be a humorous combination. Two money-worshiping old men, one is thinking about saving money for his own grand duchy, and the other is thinking about making money for his children.
"This couldn't be better. I remember there was a chain store in Karlsruhe."
"Yes, when grandpa's teeth were still good two years ago, he especially liked the braised donkey meat there, but grandpa preferred to order takeout."
Speaking of which, it's not too far-fetched.
The Baden side also greeted the passing guests with Baden's grenadiers and hussars. It's just that because the national strength of the small country is limited, the old man is more willing to pay out of his own pocket to manage the territory and establish education, so the military uniforms look simpler, and even the hussars' uniforms are relatively old.
Such a small country with limited national strength has not sent troops to follow the French for too long so far, and it has not been crushed by military expenditures.
Besides, the old man always felt that Baden was not urbanized enough in the past, so he also carefully managed the towns under his jurisdiction. After all, it was not rich but still acceptable.
If there were no war and it was not in such an awkward position at the door of France, it could be said to be a small country with few people, but life was still acceptable.
"If possible, even the chef can be called."
"No, grandpa thinks that will affect other guests."
This is worth learning from other European monarchs
"Karl, you are in your twenties, I think your sister, Her Majesty the Queen, is very worried about you."
"I know that my sisters are worried about this, but..."
"Don't feel unhurried. My wife Catherine is here too. She is about the same age as Stephanie. How are you doing recently?"
If you tell this to an outsider, even to Karl, it sounds a bit awkward.
"Congratulations to you. It's always a good thing to have a large family."
"Karl, you have to consider your family too. Stephanie is very young, but both you and your wife are related to me. Although it's not appropriate for me to say this, I still..."
"Let's talk about it when we get to the palace. If there is anything, we can sit down and talk slowly. I still want to see my sisters. Only the noisy Wilhelmina lives nearby, or sister Caroline, who writes to me almost every week. I like my nieces very much and hope they can come and live for a while."
"That's good too. Does Stephanie like children?"
"Other people's children don't need her to take care of them. When she visits her sister, she often takes Luther to play."
Speaking of which, Karl is the most critical one. If it weren't for the fact that his generation was full of girls except him, the sisters wouldn't be worried.
Even the younger sister, who was unhappy at home, raised this question. She was considering separating from her husband recently.
But she had a son, so her brother-in-law couldn't do anything to her.
Although the things involved were not complicated, it was not surprising that they involved things between European nobles.
As for the illegitimate child, there was a salted fish prime minister in the UK. If his ancestor had a relationship with George II, he had to rely on the 200-kilogram strongman. The youngest son, Prince Paul, had an illegitimate daughter who was his direct ancestor.
So, it seemed very reasonable that he had such a body shape.
Speaking of which, Karl now realized that since the sisters living in the north sent Solovyov, who was acquainted with them and could be regarded as a friend, to come here, they were obviously worried about the family.
But he was very young, so it seemed that there was no need to worry about this.
It was just that in the German region, there had always been a legend of "Civet Cat Substituted Prince", who replaced his son with a dead fetus.
The reason was the inheritance right of their family. (End of this chapter)
