Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 534 046 Today this place is called Abo, and in the future it will be called Turku

If you look at the place names of this era, it is often easy to get confused.

When you see Helsingfors, you can at least guess based on this place that this is Helsinki, the capital of Finland in the future.

As for Abo, or the place called Obu, if you don’t look at this location, you can’t think that this is Turku.

Even when Solovyov escorted Louisa to Sweden to visit relatives, it was the same. He looked at the map for a long time and was always confused.

Now that you are familiar with the homework on the map, you can also notice that the names of many places during the Swedish rule are different from those during the Russian and Finnish rule, and it is inevitable that there will be some deviations when reporting.

Even without Solovyov’s upcoming opponent Amfelt, Solovyov wanted to change the name to a normal one that he could see.

Moreover, if Finland, which has a relatively sparse population, were to become the Grand Duchy of Finland, it would be possible to import serfs to enrich the manor in the future, thereby diluting the local population of Finland.

In fact, the Finns have a closer relationship with the Ugric people. Many places in northern Russia still have such ethnic minorities, and their numbers are large.

The Swedes have always been operating in the western part of Finland, while Novgorod has always been operating in the eastern part of Finland, all the way to Vyborg. Since ancient times, fighting chess and demarcating territory have no meaning here. After all, you sing and I come on stage, and in the end, the Russian Tsar will be the co-lord in the form of the Grand Duchy of Finland.

This is why Alexander is relatively tolerant and likes to play the role of the Messiah all day long. If it were Nicholas.

Anyway, if Nicholas became the Tsar, Poland dared to make trouble. He originally took the title of King of Poland seriously and followed his brother's wishes.

The Poles rebelled themselves, and even lost their autonomy. In the end, they became a series of provinces ruled by Russia. I don't know how to evaluate it.

In short, when Solovyov thought of some things, he recalled here and could remember that Russia had three Alexanders and two Nicholas. During the reign of the first two Alexanders, the country was generally stable, except for fighting with foreigners from time to time, and there were assassinations, coups, and bombs flying in the country.

The period of Alexander III and the two Nicholas was really hard to describe.

As Nicholas' teacher, he could not see how this 12-year-old boy, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall and looked like a volleyball girl, would rule so tough in the future.

By the way, in addition to playing basketball, Solovyov himself actually made a volleyball with "flying balls in the air".

It's just that he himself has no time to play sports. Since 1805, he has rarely had the opportunity to rest and has no time to care about the development of sports.

As for the affairs of the English Football Association, let alone. Now they are warring countries, and it is not surprising that Arsenal, Wimbledon, Millwall, Fulham, and Prince George of Wales will come up with a Barclays Premier League.

Of course, after entering Abo, we also saw Bagration, who we had not seen for a long time, and even the veterans of the Moscow Grenadiers.

However, compared with the time in Italy, the personnel of the Moscow Grenadiers have changed a lot. Many veterans have served their full terms, but according to the efficiency of the Russian army in recruiting able-bodied men and freemen from the manors, the troops are still complete.

But they watched the Finnish division coming over, and there were still many troops with roots and neat military appearances. Everyone always felt that this time the war against Sweden was also in sight.

Although some bad news came from the north, it was also considered that the current guerrilla activity in Finland was far less than in the summer, and in the fall, most of the armed forces on the Swedish side, as long as they still had some ideas of survival, would transfer their regular soldiers and militia to the land of Sweden.

In this case, victory is indeed only a matter of time.

"Mishka, congratulations to you, too. First you became a father, and then you can lead troops without being the chief of staff."

"Peter Ivanovich, to put it simply, you already have someone here, otherwise you would have brought me here."

"I am only the southern army of the Vyborg Corps, and the troops of Barclay and Shuvalov in the north. You are also familiar with the affairs of Tuchkov and Dolgorukov."

"Alas, it can only be said that Misha is too unlucky. Now this is no secret. It's just a pity for His Highness that he can only go Stay in the monastery for a while to calm down. "

"But what can we do? Some noble ladies in Petersburg are now unwilling to marry officers. Your Katya is a good girl and won't be picky."

"These ladies are really worrying too much. If their husbands die, they can remarry. If they fail in love, they can change their boyfriends! What's more, as long as they join the army, they will inevitably have some close contact with the enemy's weapons. "

"That's right."

Soloviev was also very open-minded. After all, such things always happen.

And Bagration then brought the topic back to the point.

"Let's go in and talk about the overall strategy."

"It's not like Bennigsen. After being re-activated in an important area, he is going to play some tricks again, right?"

"That's not the problem. We are currently at a temporary stalemate in several directions, also because of the geographical environment of the battlefield. Here in the Gulf of Bothnia and the Åland Islands, you mentioned that after the ice age, there may be 210 in the northern area. days, but the climate there is also colder.”

"This is a matter of geography. You must know that the ocean currents coming from the North Atlantic always make the climate warmer. Although the latitude here is very high, it is not as good as in Moscow and Ryazan."

"But there is still a problem on the battlefield. When you march on the ice, you must also consider your own rear. Supply is always difficult. No matter what, I will attack the Åland Islands. The first stage is for your plan. Provide cover, and the next step is to threaten Stockholm and ensure the safety of your ice communication lines.”

"This is natural. If it were someone else, it would definitely not be easy to complete this task."

"Barclay also agrees with the idea of ​​attacking across the sea. This way there will be no problem. At least we can still fight in the two main directions."

Solovyov looked at this senior brother. As long as he was determined, he could always fight. Therefore, he felt more at ease. Even if the entire army was in danger, he could still stay behind to cover everyone's safe retreat.

But this time, he was the tip of the spear. If something went wrong, due to the special terrain of the war zone, someone might be able to cover the flanks, but the enemy's attack would mainly be aimed at him.

But he is not afraid of this. It is not like he has never fought tough battles before.

As for the rest, probably starting to build a military camp locally.

It's just that it will inevitably be noticed by the enemy. The Swedes' intelligence network in Abo has always existed, and they have long known the news of the Russian army's increase in troops, so they must be prepared.

However, this time the attack started with a cover on the Gulf of Bothnia, and the opponent always needed to weigh it up.

"Well, there is always a final decisive battle. After defeating the last resistance of the Swedish army, we will be able to march the army into Stockholm. As for the future, that is what the emperor and the foreign minister need to consider."

"That's it. How are you going to arrange the garrison?"

"The garrison and I are still outside the city. This makes it easier to mobilize, and we need to bluff the enemy into thinking we have more troops, which will make them more nervous."

"I always like to come up with weird ideas. Besides, is there any news about my wife?"

"She is very good in Vienna, but I don't think it is good for her to have such a huge expense. After all, Katishi and I have known each other since we were 13 years old. She has too many little problems."

"But she is still a beauty, and His Majesty Paul granted the marriage. I can only maintain the marriage relationship with her. This is different from the ordinary situation, and I cannot imitate Alexander Vasilyevich."

"But Alkasha's temperament, apart from being very popular with women, is pretty good in other aspects. Of course, I heard that he taught a hussar some time ago to learn how to seduce girls, but this hussar was from the Mariupol regiment of."

Bagration knew immediately when he heard that Arkady Suvorov met Durova at the dance, but the latter always pretended to be a man and acted like a tomboy who was not easy to grow a beard. Arkady really taught her how to attract girls' attention.

"This is a good story. Maybe there are other stories you can tell in the future."

"Yes, I want to bring Mrs. Recamier here, but I don't know if she likes the environment like Abo. It is incomparable with Petersburg."

"Will Katya agree?"

"I feel like I owe Katya a lot. She said that if she hadn't been so busy taking care of two children, she would have come here to stay with me."

This means that his wife agreed to have a mistress outside, and this happened before Katya got engaged.

"What a lovely girl, she still thinks about you."

After hearing this, Solovyov also felt a little emotional. Although the wives they married had the same name, their styles were completely different.

There are just some things that cannot be told to Bagration, that is, the "little goblin" had a fierce fight with Metternich in Vienna, and was jealous of Duchess Sagan.

Well, Metternich was the same. He was very popular with women. The two most charming women in Vienna were both pushed to the bed by him.

But compared with Bagration, he is indeed not majestic and powerful enough.

Mrs. Recamier quickly replied. Although Finland was not considered safe, this kind of adventure was also very interesting. She also brought her servants to Turku, and mentioned some things related to Paris in her reply. things.

Because Solovyov was on the way to find relatives for his stepmother, he defeated the royalist General Kadudar due to a misunderstanding. Therefore, when Moreau was tried, Mr. Rekamir was sentenced to death and guillotined. In the end, Madame became a wealthy young widow with assets worth millions of francs. After cashing in at a discount, she was able to live a luxurious life with no worries about food and clothing. She also decided to stay away from Paris.

For example, Mrs. Stael's recent activities, and the gradual lifting of restrictions in Paris.

However, there is also the element that she hopes to have some more exciting adventures.

"This lady can make men fall head over heels for her, but..."

"What is it, Mishka?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Katish has become her kind now, which is more troublesome, but the salon hostesses in Vienna and Paris usually have different identities. She just promised to come here, and I have to prepare a place for her. It’s an official residence in a good location, that’s what it is.”

"You really are."

Bagration couldn't help but want to comment on his junior brother, who was almost on the same track as Miloradovich.

"There's nothing we can do. We're here, and we've even found our mistress. It doesn't look like we're going to launch a large-scale attack. We're also going to make some remarks. Just say, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Bagration also laughed and said: "So you want this too, then I can cooperate with you."

The purpose of the two of them is to put on a show for the Swedes, showing that the Russian army's main attack direction is not the Åland Islands, and under the current circumstances, it is better to forget about fighting.

Moreover, Alexander had been demanding negotiations with King Gustav, just as he had done before the war.

At this time, the Russian army seemed to have no ambition due to the small setbacks in previous attacks. It always released a lot of confusing intelligence, giving the Swedes a wrong understanding of the situation in front of them.

If they can deceive someone, it would be perfect. When the ice and snow melt next year and the Baltic Fleet can go to sea, the Swedes will have the support of the Royal Navy, which is only one or two squadrons, to counter the current Russian navy here. The main force, the outcome is not known, after all, it has been defeated at sea before, and it is rumored that Admiral Ushakov has become the first officially appointed commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet in more than 40 years, and Vice Admiral Krone is responsible for It is the main squadron.

Under such circumstances, naturally many Swedes did not agree to continue the fight.

Of course, their situation is a bit complicated. In addition to the "caps" and "top hats" formed during the period of Gustavus III, the war faction and the peace faction, there are also the current royal party and the ducal party, and even the latest intelligence Among them, it was also discovered that among the respective factions there were some Swedish nobles from Finland, who were basically pro-Russian faction. If Finland became independent, their interests would not be affected. At this time, they turned their backs and surrendered as a courtesy.

For both parties, it was a good ending with "the country is safe and the people are happy, wouldn't it be beautiful?" However, there were indeed people in Sweden who shouted "Shut up", but the level was lower.
