Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Polina's palace was not very big, but she was too lazy to take care of such a large territory, so she only left a few manors and properties in France and Italy.

"How does it look here?"

"Very beautiful, Polina, it's just that we are like this, Mishka is a little bit"

"You can leave the children to him. Doesn't he call himself a 'nurturing general'?"

Polina was only half-joking when she spoke, but these children, even the more sensible ones, would know what was going on.

Solovyov was always kind, so when Polina took Maria and Katya inside, the children were handed over to him.

"You guys have to be good!"

It's funny to say that among the older ones, all except Demid are his children.

Octavia pulled her sister to occupy the best position. After all, he was the father. Although Demid let her go, he was always with her, and then there was Giuseppe.

Instead, are they the two children of Solovyov and Katya? He himself wanted to complain. The daughter he raised was really too leaky, but the son was fine.

As for what to do with the kids, that’s another question.

But Demid, being the eldest child, whispered something to the housekeeper.

"What did you just do?"

"I want Uncle Mario, the housekeeper, to get all the toys. Mom will do it on weekdays."

Although his younger siblings and Aunt Sylvia's children would not complain to him, he still swallowed his words.

Prince Camilo probably knew it, and only his youngest son was definitely his. This can be seen from the fact that Giuseppe was asked by Polina to inherit the title of Guastalla, but after all, it was his own title with a long history. And he also has a large amount of property in his name, especially works of art.

Then, when he had an heir, he was even more willing to find a mistress.

There is an important factor in this, which is probably that Polina's "schedule" is never reserved for him. In addition, he himself is unwilling to work hard, and he is soft-hearted and prefers to be around his mistress.

But one good thing about him is that he takes good care of his women. Even if his relationship with Polina has faded, considering the big tree of Napoleon, he always takes good care of Polina's son.

When Demid was alone, Prince Camilo bought him a large number of trendy toys. He could also go to hot springs to recuperate when he was sick. He even hired first-line tutors from Paris and Rome. Unknown to him, he thought Leclerc had let him This guy is green.

As for the artworks at home, there are also replicas placed here.

It's just that the Borghese family is too rich. They have produced popes and cardinals, and they also have astonishing wealth in Rome. According to the estimation of Prince Camilo's younger brother, even if his brother is such a prodigal, the family's annual income is still very small. It's impressive, even after a hundred years there shouldn't be any major events.

After all, Prince Borghese's family is not like some famous families who can only go in and out.

When the toys came, Solovyov was a little surprised. Several servants came with boxes.

Demid was quite proud. After opening these boxes, he introduced them to Solovyov.

"Uncle Michelle, look at these soldiers. If we want to play a war game, we can set out a policy with so many of them, right?"

The styling amazed Solovyov even more. They were all Napoleon's old guards. The cost of this one was like the one sold in Count Boblin's driver's shop. It was bigger than this one, but this quantity was already It's outrageous.

"The Grenadier Guards are all the emperor's old guards."

"My uncle is a great commander. I will become a general and a marshal in the future."

Well, if this kid joins the army, he will start as a major and adjutant, and he will soon be promoted to colonel and commander, and then general. Reincarnation is a technical job, but you also have to live a long life.

If Solovyov hadn't seen a doctor when he was a child and probably knew the root cause of the disease, he wouldn't have been able to live as long as he did.

Although a bit bearish, this child is still very obedient.

"Then, are you going to put out so many soldiers?"

"Yes!"

And it can be seen that it is not a tin soldier.

Get a battalion of old guards, a squadron of grenadier guards, and an artillery company. Although they are all toy soldiers, this is still a rich battle.

"What do you want to do?"

"Uncle Michelle, come and teach us how to fight. Mom and Aunt Sylvia don't usually let us play this. I think it's because you are here that Giuseppe and I can have a good time."

Well, this child learned how to be cute from her mother. If you exclude Polina's coquettishness, then she is cute.

Fortunately, there are no perverted bishops in the local area, and he is the stepson of a relative of the pope and the bishop's family, so no one dares to cause trouble for him.

"Well, I can't do much here. But I can teach you two how to be a good company commander and battalion commander. You two have an uncle who is the emperor, and Demid you also have an uncle who is a marshal. It’s impossible to start as a second lieutenant like me in the army, so we have to start from this higher level.”

Then, he led two boys to take out all the soldiers, and then formed a three-row formation.

Speaking of which, setting up soldiers takes a long time.

Octavia had always been close to Demid, so he came to help.

However, Italian children may be a little precocious. When they are close to each other, they are always very close.

As for the children kissing each other, don't be surprised if you see it.

"Okay, that's it. I came from the infantry, so I'm quite confident to tell you this."

"But Uncle Michel, I heard that you co-authored a military theory with Archduke Karl, combining the Chinese 'Suo'zi Art of War with battle examples."

Hmm?

"It's 'Sun Tzu's Art of War', not 'sonne'."

The child's mother is actually Italian, his father died early, and his stepfather is Italian, so it's inevitable that there will be some problems with the accent.

"Ah, my sun."

The child was also a little abstract, and Solovyov reminded him, and he didn't know what was going on, but he started singing.

However, his tune was off-key, and he didn't know what he was going to sing, but his pronunciation was still very clear.

To be honest, Solovyov still knew the song, but if he made it out now, it wouldn't be scary but a bit plagiarized.

As for what Maria did in there?

She must not come out. It is hard enough to play with the children. If she has to work for her

If she has not been ill recently, I would have taught her a lesson at night.

There was a gap in status between the two before, but now that they have been intimate on the carpet in the Palace of Versailles, there is no sense of distance.

As for the illness, Solovyov also roughly knows that someone may die again.

Especially, there is the most difficult one. Maria is easy to give birth to, and the risk factor should be the highest, not to mention that her husband is often not at home.

It seems that Madame Recamier is better, but Clara is already there, and safety cannot be guaranteed in the future.

Maria was dragged by Polina to take a bath at this moment. She really loves cleanliness. She built a warm water pool in her palace just for bathing and swimming, and it is the kind that can be used in winter.

For a while, she will not come out to see what the children are doing, and Katya will naturally be dragged to take a bath together.

Outside, Solovyov has arranged a hollow square for the two boys.

This soldier is quite advanced, the joints can be bent, the rifle can be taken down, and it is naturally convenient to put it in place.

What Solovyov wanted to complain about the most was that Demid always took the opportunity to get close to his daughter and kissed her on the cheek.

Of course, his daughter didn't resist. Octavia played with him since she was a child, so they were childhood sweethearts.

Turning around, she also kissed Demid, so Solovyov didn't want to say anything.

He could only cough twice and then demonstrate the infantry square to the children.

"This is the 'Egyptian phalanx', which was first popular among ordinary infantry in France and the Russian Guards. It is conducive to developing firepower on one side, and it can also increase the strength of the infantry formation. If the two sides are arranged like this, and there are cannons to cover, even the most powerful cavalry will be afraid before rushing in. Even if people are not afraid, horses will be afraid."

"Like when my uncle was hunting once, the horse was scared by bushes and thorns, and jumped high like this?"

"That's right! Animals like horses are still not brave enough on the battlefield. Horses that can carry cavalry are already good horses."

Then, he began to arrange infantry artillery and cavalry for the two children to demonstrate the defensive formation.

If Nicholas saw it, he would probably say that his master was biased and did not teach him infantry tactics.

But Nicholas is different from Demid and Giuseppe. Nicholas may still inherit the throne in the future. If these two children are not promising, they will probably spend their lives as rich men.

But Demid is very ambitious. Although he is a little weak, he is smart, which may be inherited from his father.

His unfortunate father who died early was very good at cheating.

This child has ambitions. Giuseppe is his son, so he is willing to teach him. After all, they probably won't inherit a country in the future, but will only inherit their father's and mother's property respectively.

If he learns some skills, it would be good.

However, if you want to teach military science, the French commanders with some skills are probably on the battlefield.

Solovyov thought of a person, Moreau's old subordinate, who caused a lot of trouble to the Russian army at the St. Gotthard Pass in Switzerland.

But his identity was not politically correct. After Moreau was exiled, he was also dismissed and went home.

Demid quickly drew the pattern in a notebook with a pencil, but his vocabulary was still limited.

However, drawing pictures is still helpful for memorizing these contents.

Solovyov also taught him some content, which seemed to be helpful for memorizing, and the pattern was also clear.

Of course, this kind of mark is the tactical mark of NATO. In fact, Eastern European countries also have a kind of mark.

However, in the 21st century, NATO is more popular, and this is the case in the military fan circle.

When Solovyov did his own homework on the map, because he was in Russia and knew both, he chose the Soviet style.

However, what was taught to Demid in Guastalla was different.

Anyway, if it is not universal, it will always take some time for the French to predict it by looking at the map.

Demid is very smart. He quickly mastered it and even drew the structure of the subordinate units of the legion.

"Uncle Michel, do you think this is right?"

"What a smart boy. This is probably the structure of an old Austrian column. There are still many old men using this in Austria today. What do you think?"

"If it were me, I would definitely add artillery. Such a temporary team has many shortcomings, and I don't know what we can get in the end."

"Ah, tell me what the shortcomings are."

"If it were in the French army, the emperor's uncle would probably give an order to uncle Nicolas, who would then give an order to uncle Friant's division, and uncle Friant would give an order to his regimental commanders, following Uncle Berthier's method."

"What will happen?"

"It was like I was going to grab Octavia with my hand, and I thought, if I stretched out my hand, I could grab her."

Along the way, I didn't forget to hug my daughter. These two children were a little too close.

Solovyov was a little worried about the two of them in their adolescence. If he was not careful, his little pig might have bitten his own cabbage. Fortunately, they were not related by blood, otherwise his legs would have been damaged.

"Octavia, I got you."

Her daughter is too well-behaved, and Sylvia obviously does a great job educating her children. Such well-behaved children will be easily bullied in the future.

There was a lot to think about, but Demid explained it in simple language that he could understand.

The problem of the Austrian army actually exists in the French army as well, because Napoleon promoted many generals in active service to marshal, so there was a problem. Many people were not convinced by each other, so that problems always occurred during wars.

When he was in Spain, problems would arise if the emperor was away, and he let the British escape many times, or caused himself to be defeated by Wellesley.

As for the Spaniards, the guerrillas may be very powerful, but they are just scratching an itch. The main threat comes from the Spanish regular army, but they are relatively weak.

The greater threat, poor hygiene among the military, is now

Probably the most helpful thing Solovyov ever did was the sanitary regulations he wrote, which quickly spread across the European continent, so that the risk of French troops contracting various diseases in Spain was reduced.

But the British have not been able to learn from it. Although there is no cabinet secretary now, the skills that their civil servants and parliamentarians have to study have spread in France, Prussia, Austria, Bavaria, Württemberg, and Saxony.

In this way, Wellesley discovered that the French were beating more and more, which gave them a headache.

However, this has little impact on the overall situation. After all, the British are very resilient under his leadership.

Next, Solovyov still has to provide soldiers for his two children.
