I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 66 Dueling Gifts and Kindness

After returning to the palace, Peter did not go out immediately, he called Mirkowski and gave two orders.

One is to find Romanosov, and the other is to find a person named Chernyshov among all the palace guards.

He didn't have time to come back in the afternoon, and he was busy dealing with his wife. It would be better to pass Romanosov first.

Anyway, now that he is proficient in French, there must be no problem in passing the test.

Romanosov arrived before Mirkowski could reply to his second order.

He was still very dissatisfied when he heard that His Highness would not have classes in the afternoon. After all, teaching His Highness French was a sacred duty entrusted to him by the Queen.

Romanosov is not prepared to play favoritism at all, not even His Royal Highness.

However, when His Highness asked him to be assessed according to the progress, Romanosov hesitated, and then listed the progress standards.

These have been prepared a long time ago, and His Highness will reach different levels of French according to different stages.

However, His Highness passed it smoothly.

When Romanosov asked incredulously, Peter said indifferently:
"Teacher, the real masters are all silently working hard outside of teaching."

Voronzova was a little confused when she heard this.

Has Your Highness tried hard?
Why didn't she see it.

Perhaps His Highness was learning French in a dream, and the little maid who believed in Peter with all her heart immediately found a reason for His Highness, and then she was convinced, showing adoring little eyes.

And when Romanosov finished the assessment, but wanted to continue to study at the next level, he was kicked out by Peter.

It's so hard to get ahead. Is it easy for him to learn French?

Although I don't know how His Royal Highness completed the study of the first progress, but the results are there after all, and Romanosov soon became cheerful.

In any case, the second stage of study can start tomorrow. At least judging from the current situation, His Highness has shown that he is serious about studying.

"Your Highness, don't think that you are not serious about listening to the lectures, but you are still working hard in private!" '

Romanosov affirmed.

Then he wanted to know more about His Highness, so he went to Andernov, and an academic conversation was happily going on between books and vodka.

And the second order that Peter sent Mirkowski to execute soon got a reply.

Milkowski brought a handsome young man.

Zahar Grigorievich Chernyshov!

He has been in charge of guarding an area of ​​the palace for three years.

"Your Highness!"

Chernyshev saluted Peter respectfully.

Peter didn't speak for a while, looking at the rumored first lover.

Although Chernyshov and Ye Er are rumored to have lovers, the two have no real relationship, at most they have a mutual affection, and Chernyshov and Sergey are fundamentally different.

He is a soldier.

Peter ran through the Chernyshov material in his head.

Chernyshev became captain of the guards in 1741 and head of the St. Petersburg infantry regiment in 1749.

During the War of the Austrian Succession, he participated in the Russian Rhine Expedition in 1748.

Major general in 1750, commander of the army during the Seven Years War against Prussia from 1756 to 1763.

He was promoted to lieutenant general in 1758 and led an army raid on Berlin in 1760 (Battle of Berlin).

He was promoted to general in 1762, and served as the vice president of the Army Academy in 1763. He was responsible for the rear service during the war against Turkey.

In 1772, he concurrently served as chief supervisor of Belarus. In 1773, he served as dean of the Army Academy and was promoted to marshal.

He also served as governor of Moscow in 1782 and died in Moscow in 1784.

Treating such a person is completely different from treating a playboy like Sergei.

Although Chernyshev would have such outstanding achievements in the future, Peter didn't take it seriously, and just decided to give him a chance.

As for whether Chernyshov can seize this opportunity and save him from the punishment given to him later, it depends on himself.

And all of this will no longer have anything to do with Ye Er.

The original Chernyshov was able to know Yeka because he served as the adjutant of the original Peter.

But now, it was impossible for Peter to let such a person stay by his side.

Before Ye Er arrived in St. Petersburg, Chernyshov would start his military life in advance.

After thinking about it, Peter said lightly:
"Chernyshov, are you willing to serve me? I can recommend you to serve in the St. Petersburg Infantry Regiment, so that your talents will not be wasted in the palace."

Chernyshev was stunned, and so was Mirkovsky.

Before Chernyshev could speak, Mirkovsky said with a look of surprise:
"Your Highness, I am willing!"

Would you like a yarn, would you like it, did you ask?
roll!
Peter gave Mirkowski a fierce look, and Mirkowski immediately shut up.

Milkowski began to regret deeply, wouldn't it be good to stay with His Highness?Why go out and make contributions?

Why bother?
Ugh……

Then Peter stared at Chernyshov, and continued:
"You can have a permanent solid house in the center of St. Petersburg."

As soon as the words came out, Chernyshov immediately knelt on one knee and said:

"Your Highness, I am willing!"

"very good!"

Peter asked Chernyshov to get up.

Having a permanent solid house in the center of St. Petersburg did not mean wealth, but Chernyshov's entry into the infantry regiment was the beginning of an officer, at least a lieutenant.

Because as early as the time of Peter the Great, the Tsarist Russian army had an ancestral family law, that is, never to build permanent houses for soldiers.

Tsarist Russian soldiers were assigned to live in towns and towns in different places in units of regiments. Only the officers of the regiment headquarters could have strong permanent houses in the towns.

Most soldiers have to go to the countryside to find houses to live in.

They could requisition four houses from one family, and every three people would live in one room. In many cases, Russian soldiers could not find a suitable house and could only live in farmers' shacks or even barns.

These soldiers have to live in farmers' homes for 8 months, from September of that year to May of the following year.

While living in the countryside, they are not allowed to go out at night, nor can they spoil the people of their own country, and they are generally very polite to their farmers and landlords.

Because the Tsarist Russian army stipulates that as long as the farmers report any inappropriate behavior of the Russian soldiers, they can be engaged in military law, and the military punishment of the Tsarist Russian army is generally violent beatings to death.

Farmers in Tsarist Russia belonged to rural communes, which were very complex economic and social organizations. They provided taxes for the Tsarist Russian army, and they also handled the work of conscription in Tsarist Russia.

Tsarist Russian soldiers were basically recruited and trained from one rural commune, and then placed in another rural commune.

Because each rural commune has to send troops at a ratio of [-] percent, [-] percent, or even [-] percent, and each rural commune has a large number of soldiers.

If they wanted to do whatever they wanted in the rural commune, even if they wiped out the entire rural commune, they couldn’t do it, because the superior unit of the rural commune was the real ruler of Tsarist Russia—the Russian nobles.

At most, they only dare to fight with some farmers, and it is rare for them to bully men and women.

Now that the war of succession to the throne is going on, what Peter said is equivalent to opening a window to the outside world for Chernyshov.

For ambitious nobles, they hope to be able to fight abroad, such as Mirkowski.

But for nobles who just want to enjoy themselves, they don't want to go to the battlefield.

Chernyshov is clearly the former.

Peter said lightly:

"What I want you to do is very simple. At the right time, initiate a duel on my behalf against a man named Sergey Saltykov."

It was a good idea, Peter thought, to have the first lover fight the second until one fell dead.

Although both are duels, the treatment of the two is different, not to mention whether Sergey, a playboy, can win Chernyshov, even if he wins, Sergey will die.

But Chernyshov is different. If he loses, he will be exiled to the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Pacific Ocean. If he wins, he will get the opportunity he gave to go to the infantry regiment.

Peter's voice is calm, and there is no emotion in his eyes, all the calmness is based on——

He firmly believes that he can hold the throat of fate!

Even if one Chernyshov dies, there will still be tens of thousands of Chernyshovs.

He is already very kind to someone who has the status of a lover.
