Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Nikolai's matter was left alone because nothing happened to the two children. However, the Queen Mother turned around and reprimanded Nikolai. She was surprised to find that the relationship between the two children was beyond ordinary. In the future, if they can go further and promote There is no problem in marrying two families.

Nicholas and Charlotte are third-generation cousins. In addition to being friends, the two have a thin blood tie. According to the Russian royal family's standards for selecting wives, they are still quite high-quality candidates.

However, Russia is like this, which can not only promote marriage relationships, but also avoid some of the more troublesome inbreeding "preferred". In the end, it is still impossible to guard against it, and the worst situation happened to Nicholas II.

Solovyov still considered this kind of thing on his way back to Vyborg.

Speaking of which, he was also curious. George IV had a daughter, and she seemed to be very lively and healthy. Why didn't she become the queen later?

Moreover, from the period of George III to George IV, Britain was not as lacking in virtue as it was in the Victorian era. At least George III still cared about the food problem of the British civilians until he went completely crazy.

It was impossible for Solovyov to know that the British capitalists were so ungrateful to the common people, and that the doctors were also quite unreliable. The Prince of Wales’s only daughter, Charlotte, was given the wrong treatment when she gave birth. The method ended up causing one body and two lives, and he died of massive bleeding on the bed.

In addition, consider the situation of Queen Victoria. Her era can be said to be the era when the British leader lacked the most virtues, and from the beginning, the popularity was probably not as high as when Charlotte was 7 years old.

In the Victorian era, the Queen reigned for more than sixty years. The death record set by this queen is probably unparalleled by other families, and the British also poisoned most of the world.

As for now, if you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to discover this.

Even in 1808, it was like leading the British, recruiting young men in the navy, using whips in the army, overpressuring beer barrels, and workers were about to lose their jobs. None of it was as outrageous as the era 50 years later.

In short, if a popular character like Charlotte becomes the queen in the future, it might be better to lead Ying.

Even Solovyov was a little bit wrong. His friend, the fat Crown Prince George, the Prince of Wales, his only daughter, was very independent in her teenage years, and this Charlotte was as blushing and heartbeating as Nikolai held her. Charlotte was different. She had her own opinions and political leanings, and supported the Whig Party like her father.

If we want to fight against Sweden now, we will inevitably have to fight against the British. However, in the future, Britain and Russia will probably come together again because of Napoleon.

Britain and France may both be afraid that Russia will become each other's friendly forces. This is the case in strategic planning.

While he was thinking about it, the carriage had already approached Vyborg.

At this moment, the Finnish Division is finally at its most fully staffed. 12 regimental commanders are here, and there are 72 cannons. Taking into account the factor of traveling through the ice lightly, in addition to the 6-pound infantry cannon and the 6-pound cavalry cannon, there are 1 company of Little Unicorn Cannons.

Just considering the significance of this war, some big moves are indeed needed.

"Gentlemen, this is the first time we have all held a meeting. Regarding the deployment of this operation, I think you should have some understanding of the deployment of this operation, whether in Vyborg or from various aspects."

"Count, we are in Vyborg. We are obviously outside the battlefield, but we have asked the brothers to train for such a long time. They are marching drills, shooting drills, infantry square drills and cavalry shock drills. This is because What are you doing?”

It's always good to have someone ask questions, especially the new group leaders. If they have anything to say, they will always have some insight.

Clausewitz had met all the regimental leaders before, and Solovyov happened to be back in Petersburg these days to deal with the aftermath of Prince Mikhail's death, and was delayed for a while on the issue of Nikolai. , he also told Solovyov the information that should be prepared and the matters that needed to be paid attention to.

The leader in front of him was Colonel Grigorovich, the leader of the Elizavetagrad Hussars Regiment. He was indeed a little anxious.

"Don't be anxious. This is exactly what we have to consider. The next phase of the operation is likely to be in a colder area and launch an attack in a place unexpected by the enemy. We will have such preparations."

"Where will that go? We hussars can go anywhere."

"In short, it will be a relatively difficult route, and it must always be kept secret from the outside world. Although the command already knows this, it has not notified everyone, and the subsequent actions are likely to change. We always have to Deploy according to the requirements of the Commander-in-Chief and frontline commanders.”

"If it's a secret, then keep it a secret!"

"But one thing we still need to pay attention to is that we have to fight in winter. The first snow comes at this time. We still have to consider training to make all soldiers know how to protect themselves from the cold. Among several infantry regiments, the most The one who needs to pay attention to this is the Tavrid Grenadier Regiment. You are always stationed in the south, and although most of the brothers in other regiments come from the north and the vast plains, the place where they can fight is always the snowy north. If we want to fight those Turks, we still need to see. Well, we need to prevent epidemics and heatstroke over there.”

Since it makes sense, everyone listens. Even though the captains of the several cavalry regiments arrived later, they still have to listen.

However, except for the commanders of the Alexander Hussar Regiment and the Izyum Regiment, the other four commanders also knew that the four grand duchesses who were now living in the country were sponsors of their regiments.

Considering some rumors, there was always an older prince who liked this pretty boy very much, so he would instigate the sisters to sponsor him.

It can be said that it was another form of sponsorship.

However, this is also a skill. After all, among the generals in their twenties, he was the one who was best at fighting, and his record was quite impressive. Except for a sneak attack on the floating bridge guarded by the Bavarian grenadiers, he had no experience of failure.

Therefore, there was nothing to question, and he was willing to come to the meeting to discuss.

However, some people still had problems.

"In this case, we should also have enough rest to make the brothers energetic and the horses' feet keep up."

This is what Colonel Vasily Rusanov of the Alexander Regiment said. These hussars really like to express their opinions.

"But we have to adapt to this. We will arrange a march training in the next few days. We will also be stationed in Finland and set up a new camp. We will also claim to the outside world that we want to replace Tuchkov, who suffered heavy losses. This is a comprehensive test. What do you think?"

"Everyone, please don't be restrained. You can express your opinions at this time."

Speaking of which, the infantry regiment commanders are mainly German officers, while the cavalry regiment commanders are both.

Everyone just sat there when Clausewitz said this. After a while, it was Rusanov who spoke.

"If we change guards and practice at the same time, I have nothing to say. It's a war everywhere."

"I have no objection!" Colonel Fock, the commander of Kargopol, answered very straightforwardly, and everyone else nodded.

"Well, we need to prepare for a day, and then we will start this march. Infantry, cavalry, artillery and baggage troops should pay attention to covering each other. After all, there are still a few guerrillas in Finland, and they may take action."

"If there are really guerrillas, we will hang them!"

"If you really want to be so cruel, you should hang a sign. Lebu, we can't do this. Finland is already Russian territory. This is confirmed in the emperor's edict in April and a series of subsequent statements. The people of Finland are also the emperor's subjects, just in another form. There is no need to use force."

Since it was the commander of the Selenge Regiment who spoke, he, as the commander of the regiment, would naturally have something to say.

As for the actions of this Finnish division, when they entered the territory of Finland, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Sweden, the intelligence was quickly transmitted.

But for Gustav IV in Stockholm and his generals, they did not expect that when the Russian army was marching in the rear before, the speed of reinforcements did not come so quickly.

Even though it had started to snow and the ground was a bit muddy, the Finnish Division quickly reached the outskirts of Helsingfors from the main road and continued to move westward.

The Swedish king's brain was not very good, but he also learned some information from the intelligence of the Finnish Division.

So he also summoned General Amfeldt, who was very trusted.

But if General Amfeldt, a baron and Swedish infantry general, was mentioned, if Solovyov knew about this person, he might say that the enemy had a narrow road.

His master, Field Marshal Suvorov, originally chose the fiancée for his son Arkady. It was this Amfeldt who got the Duchess pregnant at her home. If it weren't for the improvement of medical technology, I'm afraid that the Duchess would not be able to give birth to a baby for Metternich.

And speaking of it, this person is now loyal to Gustav, but he may change his allegiance in the future. For Louisa's brother-in-law, he did not fulfill his obligations, although he seemed to be loyal. For his own future, he finally gave up Gustav and his wife and their son, Crown Prince Gustav, and came to Finland to serve Alexander.

If you know history, Speransky, a civil servant who came from the bottom, often had some intersections with Solovyov, and even had a good relationship with him. It was because of him that he fell out of favor and stood aside for many years.

Then there is no psychological burden to kill this guy on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, you summoned me at this time. I don't know what's the matter. The Danes can't take the offensive in the west. Maybe it's time to stop the war in the west."

"That's it, Baron. We have to fight Russia with all our strength. It doesn't matter whether there is a truce in the west or not, but you can take a look at this intelligence."

After reading it, Amfelt did not express any opinions at the first time.

"Too fast, I don't believe the Russians will be so fast! A reserve force is moving quickly towards Abo, with about 20,000 troops."

"This marching speed, at this time, is very much like Suvorov's style."

When he said this, there was no need to worry, because the mother of Duchess Wilhelmina of Sagan always evaded the matter in order to cover up her daughter's shame. This rumor was only on the gossip, and the Duchess and Arkady's marriage did not take place.

At the same time, a very bland evaluation can be made.

"What should we do in this case?"

"Your Majesty, we don't need to worry yet. Prince Bagration, Suvorov's most proud disciple, has been stationed in Abo with his army. As for the several cavalry units that were sent to harass us before, they were all repelled. I think at this time, there is a troop that is marching rapidly from Vipri to the west, and it looks like it is going to attack somewhere in the freezing season."

"So where will it be?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know, but the Russians may have several directions of action. They are now in an advantageous position, and it is still possible to take action in several directions. The most important thing is probably in Austria. Åland Islands, from here directly across the ice, you can threaten Stockholm. "

"This is not easy to do!"

"Your Majesty, we can draw troops from the south and gather around Stockholm. If the Russians dare to come, we can consider giving them a head-on blow. After all, our infantry is still tough enough, and elite troops can be drawn from all over. At the same time, we must strengthen the defense in the north. No matter how cold it is there, I think the Russians will always find a way to attack. "

"Well, you can do these things. "

As for Solovyov, he was reading relevant materials in the carriage.

He didn't know that Gustav IV would mobilize troops to the Åland Islands to prevent his and Bagration's actions, but he still had to make judgments based on the overall strategic adjustments.

These actions on the ice may also require visiting Kron and asking him to send some people who are proficient in using sextants to navigate.

As for what he originally considered, it might be even more daring, crossing the sea from Hiiumaa Island when it is frozen, but the ice period there is not very reliable.

If action is to be taken, it can only be to send a "flying squadron" with Cossacks and hussars as the core to attack Gotland Island, using these places as springboards, and finally attacking places such as Kalmar and Östergötland, and harassing the Swedish army from behind, actually fighting away from home and not letting the enemy rest.

But this idea itself is too unrealistic, so when he finally reported the plan, he only mentioned the north side of the north and south sides of the Aland Islands and the south side of the Aland Islands. The frozen sea surface here has been relatively long, reaching more than 180 days a year, and the ice surface is very solid.

As for crossing the sea, since Sweden is so cold, other means can be taken, such as crossing the lake and river.

Speaking of the lake, he remembered Louisa when he was boating on the lake.

Speaking of it, he really needs a woman, and it would be better if Mrs. Recamier was willing to come to Abo to accompany him.

After all, this is the capital of Finland and is considered a relatively large city.
