Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Even if the estate in the prime location of Sparrow Hills was sold to Prince Yusupov, Prince Vasily still owned two large estates around Moscow. The old couple would take their youngest daughter to St. Petersburg, and these places would be left to the eldest daughter and son-in-law in the fall.

Even changing the bedroom every day for the two of them could make a schedule.

But they couldn't stay here all the time, as the newlyweds also had to travel to Crimea.

Their actions were relatively secretive. Soloviev put the medals and uniforms in his luggage and put on a more ordinary gentleman's suit, but he still wore the Order of the Knights of Malta awarded by Paul.

The young countess was also dressed more ordinary, and looked like a relatively wealthy newlywed couple, but her identity could not be completely concealed.

After all, they had to stay at post stations and hotels along the way, and the journey would not be so fast.

On the way, they even had time to go to Lugansk and Kharkov, and then go to Kiev to meet Kutuzov and Miloradovich, and also investigate the situation in the south.

During the honeymoon trip, they had to take care of their young, beautiful and lovely wife, and they could not forget their duties as soldiers, so the speed of the trip was not so fast.

Even after arriving in Kiev, the couple had to take a rest.

Solovyov was a little tired from the trip. When he lived in the manor in the first stage, it was a sweet married life, which was the second stage.

And little Katya, a girl of this age, is the most vigorous when she just gets married, and

Miloradovich saw his junior brother get married and come to visit him, but now he stayed in Kiev for a while, so he knew it well.

Although he has always been a happy bachelor, he has been through many battles and seen a lot.

Mrs. Recamier's situation is special. Little Katya was pregnant soon, so she also stopped in Kiev to rest for a while.

"You two are so happy, and it's enviable to see you."

"Then Governor, you should also find a wife. I am very happy with Mishka. He knows so much, and it's so fun to be with him."

"General Katya Miloradovich is also very happy to make girls happy. When we were in Italy, we always needed him to mediate when we wanted to introduce a girl to dance with us."

"It's like this. I think the Governor is really handsome."

However, little Katya also knew that Miloradovich had not decided to get married, so she didn't say too many compliments to avoid stepping on landmines accurately.

"Misha, you are also a count now, right?"

"Yes, it's just a little unexpected."

"Well, you are actually a relative of Bonaparte, but you, as a nephew, have caused your uncle a lot of trouble."

"But it is precisely because of this that we can be recognized. If it were in peacetime, we would have to go back to visit our relatives, but they are British."

The British still blockaded the Atlantic, and the French blockaded the continent, which really hurt each other.

However, due to the limitation of productivity, the integration of resources will not be so fast, and Napoleon's own ideas are always too big, and they have already gone beyond the times. The science and technology, productivity, infrastructure and social conditions of the next era should be able to meet his ideas.

"You can't cross the sea to the Caribbean now. You were lucky that time before. But how is the American territory now?"

"The situation is very good now. I heard that the managers of the Russian American Company have established a firm foothold there. I think many settlements can be opened on the west coast of America."

"You should rest for a while. You also want to go to Crimea, right?"

"Yes, if it weren't for some fatigue and Katya's pregnancy, we wouldn't stay in Kiev for a few more days."

"Actually, it's okay for me, but Mishka loves me too much."

"That's inevitable. I know Misha, this kid, and he attaches great importance to his emotional life."

Of course, Miloradovich knew how to talk, so he stopped at the point.

"That's it. We'll stay for a few days and then we should go to Crimea. Although Katya is young, she should take care of her health. I rarely feel tired, but now I feel a little tired."

"I can help you. If you want to go to Crimea, you can live in Bakhchisaray, which was the Khan's court of the Crimean Khanate in the past."

Speaking of which, after this senior brother's ancestors came to Russia from the Balkan stage, they first worked for the Zaporizhia Cossacks, so they should be quite familiar with the Crimean Khanate.

In addition, their family's manor is in the area of ​​Little Russia, which is one of the core areas of Ukraine.

"The Khan's Court in Crimea? I think it's a good place to visit, but the palace there should be abandoned, right?"

"No, but it's only maintained to the minimum."

"Before we held the wedding, I saw that Ivan the Terrible's palace was abandoned, but the governor of the Tavrid Province in Crimea should also pay attention to it, at least to maintain it. I am still very optimistic about it, if it will be an important base for the Black Sea in the future."

"You still can't do without strategic planning, and you brought your new wife to talk to me about this."

"It's okay, Mishka does it every night."

After all, she is still a little girl, and Katya blushes a little when she mentions her husband.

"This is inevitable, you should rest more, and I will help you arrange the journey to Bakhchisaray and Sevastopol."

Miloradovich also understood very well, so he left without disturbing the newlyweds' rest, and sent someone to arrange the journey in Crimea.

"It seems that we have to spend the winter of this year in Crimea."

"Mishka, what will it be like there?"

"I think it should be similar to the climate in Italy. You should have experienced it when you spent the winter in Naples."

"Is that so?"

"Did you learn about it in geography class?"

"The tutor I hired only taught this kind of course to my two brothers. I was dancing at that time and didn't know much."

"Okay, I can give you a lesson, such as orogeny."

Who knows whether he was teaching his wife geography or physiology, but geography and climate are also important to understand.

Bakhchisarai is indeed the location of the Khan's Court in Crimea, but the last Khan, even if he is related to the Ottoman Sultan, will not have his head left.

Along the way, although the couple walked very slowly, they also rested well.

When they arrived in Crimea, the weather was very good, and Miloradovich also arranged a place for them to live in the manor of a nearby noble.

The earliest settlers here were actually Celts, and later Scythians and Greeks arrived here. If you want to talk about it, there may be more local Greeks, and the rest are Tatars in Crimea.

From the appearance, the difference with Europeans is not very big. Tatar girls look very beautiful, but they are fatter after age, and they are more likely to pass the shelf life than Mao girls.

When they got here, little Katya was somewhat jealous of the spectacular figures of the girls in this place, but she was also very curious. Her husband, nicknamed "Flower General", had some romantic affairs with Mrs. Recamier before marriage, but he was not interested in these girls.

She didn't know that although the husband and the lady were very close, they also needed a sufficient emotional foundation to open their hearts. First, there was emotional communication, and then there was sexual pleasure.

"Katya, I also noticed the way you looked at those girls."

When they stayed in Bakhchisaray, Solovyov first arranged for her to rest, and took care of his wife at night. When he massaged her feet, he couldn't help but teasing her.

"I didn't."

"Don't worry, I'm not such a shallow person. There must be some emotional foundation. Besides, we are here just to visit the former Khan's Court of the Tatars. We will go to Yalta in a few days. I heard that the scenery there is nice. We can find a small house by the sea to live in and spend this happy winter. It's still a peaceful time now, but it's hard to say what will happen next year."

"I also know that when you come here, you always have to pay attention to local military affairs, so that you can have some plans when you go back to see His Majesty. I accompany you here to let you work with peace of mind and make you happy."

Then, she also pulled Solovyov's hand over and let him touch his conscience.

Soloviev also fell for this trick, but little Katya has not grown up yet, and her "conscience" is obviously not as big as Louisa's, let alone the white grapefruit like the motherly Queen Louise he has seen.

But thinking about having such a wife, he always feels very happy.

Bakhchisarai is actually very suitable for being the Khan's court of nomadic peoples, and it is very convenient to move in all directions of the peninsula.

However, in comparison, Sevastopol, Feodosia and Kerch are more suitable as military ports, and they each control several directions.

To attack the Ottoman Empire, it is like being with your wife, always finding key places to adjust your feelings, and Crimea is naturally very important.

Therefore, in the honeymoon here, in addition to the fact that their homes are related to these places, you should also pay attention to the local customs and characteristics.

Speaking of which, if Solovyov's father had not been injured in the leg by the Turkish army in the Russo-Turkish War, he would not have retired many years earlier, and then returned home to marry a wife, have a pair of children, and start his ancestral career as a profiteer and manager.

The hinterland of Crimea has been a region preferred by nomadic people since ancient times, and some coastal towns still look like Mediterranean-style towns.

Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, mainland Greece faced a sharp decline in population and deserted towns, which also provided ammunition and material for pseudo-history, so that some people said that the Parthenon was fake. Why did Elgin steal those reliefs and be scolded by Byron?

On the other hand, in the marginal areas of Mediterranean civilization such as Crimea, even the free-range Crimean Khanate allowed the Greeks here to have a relatively stable social settlement, and they were not dug deep into the ground to fish out the pond.

The rule of the Ottoman Empire, even if it caused the Russians and Austria to fight a few times, was considered to be acting on behalf of heaven.

Many Greeks here still wear Greek-style clothes, and it seems that the clothes worn by some girls are very similar in style to the traditional Slavic clothes that little Katya changed into when she got married.

Speaking of which, this is still a cultural influence, and in Crimea, the Tatar Khan here did not force everyone to convert to religion, so the Greeks still maintain the Greek Orthodox faith, which is the same school as the Eastern Orthodox Church.

If you go to Ruthenia and some places, there are Eastern Catholics and Westernized Eastern Orthodox Churches, these people are even more troublesome, many of them are nails buried by Austria, or they are historical problems.

From the grasslands and Crimea in southern Ukraine to the Balkan stage and Constantinople, there has been no peace here for more than a thousand years since Constantine moved the capital, and even the Bulgarian Tsar of the Golden Family and various strange characters have appeared.

In the past, when he interacted with the people of the Dolgorukov family, Solovyov also heard that there was a person who pretended to be Peter III and became the king of Montenegro. Before he was assassinated, he also tried to form an alliance with Russia.

It is said that the Eastern Slavic region is abstract, but in comparison, there are more things on the Balkan stage, and various nomadic and settled peoples have passed by here.

The starting point of the nomadic people is generally in this grassland and the Crimean Peninsula. They can even obtain some urgently needed important materials through trade with coastal areas. During the Crimean Khanate period, they can go deep into the inland areas to rob various Rurik princes.

When the Crimean Khanate was in existence, it was a huge talent trading market, and girls were also sold. Even the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire said that the goods were good after inspection, and there was a queen mother.

After they arrived in Bakhchisaray, they settled down and adapted to the climate here before continuing their journey, especially to Sevastopol and Yalta, which are the key to this journey.

Moreover, there is something that Solovyov cannot say. He is not a great prophet. As his status rises, he appears as Nicholas' teacher.

If I don't live long enough, I should be able to change a lot of things. If I live long enough, I will have to make some changes to the Crimea area.

You know, the fact that the British and French coalition forces were able to fight in the Crimean War was also largely related to the slackness of coastal armaments.

Even when he was in St. Petersburg, he knew that such a key naval and military hub was actually almost undefended. Even if the Ottoman Empire had no ability to fight back, it should not be so lax.
