Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Before the war with Napoleon began, the news from the German region was indeed disturbing.

A few days after Speransky resigned, Alexander received a secret document from Vienna. Although Metternich had a bad relationship with Alexander, for the sake of common purpose, he still slept with the "little fairy" while hiding news. .

However, during this period, he did not summon the Foreign Minister Earl Rumétsev, but instead summoned Arakcheyev to the Little Winter Palace.

Nothing else, what we do now is preparing for war.

Since Barclays is mainly responsible for mobilizing the army, there are people who are in charge of screwing, which is Arakcheyev's side.

As for what they said, Alexander did not arrange a recorder, and the people outside only saw Alakcheev's carriage passing through Million Street.

At this moment, Constantine asked Anna and her two younger brothers to go to her home to play, but Nicholas also had to put a red box on the carriage, which was not a document, but homework.

"Boss, this time I went to my brother's house in the Marble Palace, and I didn't run out to play by myself."

"You spend an hour writing an impression of what I gave my lecture, and this time it will be over."

Nicholas was like an amnesty, and he always followed this homework.

This means that he can have fun before school starts today. Although the elder brother's nieces live in the imperial village, they are relatively too well-behaved. Sonya from the second brother's house is better, just like the sisters. lively.

For Nicholas, although he spent less time with his sisters and was always suppressed by his blood, he was a family and his relationship was very good.

He was a little afraid of Maria, and the same was true for this master, but the focus was different.

"Why do you need to write your thoughts on this article?"

"The country itself is more important than the monarch. The monarch's rule has a foundation, and it depends on whether you choose aristocrat or a people."

"It's like Caesar's story, boss, but when you do things."

If Nikolai dares to express his wife's opinions, he will be shocked by Solovyov. The Queen Mother allows Solovyov to beat people.

"What are you going to say?"

"It's nothing, boss, it's just that you sometimes really, don't be like Prince Alexander Kurakin."

"Don't worry, if a person pays attention to a relationship, he will not look for too many people. Really, your wife has not arranged it yet, and she is thinking about adult affairs all day long."

Nicholas didn't say much. After getting off the bus, he found a place to write it out first. Mikhail could play with his niece first.

"Misha, thank you for your hard work, and you still have to take these two kids with you. You can't be idle during their holidays."

Grand Duke Constantine was so red today, but he hadn't started drinking yet. In order to maintain a good condition in front of his daughter, he rarely drank at home in the Marble Palace.

"It'll be ready soon. After Huangcun Middle School starts, I will probably get a new appointment, right?"

"Don't be so anxious, I want you to come to the Guards. If I'm not here, you come to command the Guards, how about it?"

"There will always be people who give their opinions. I want to go to the 2nd Army. There are too many things happening to the several armies here, just like the scenes that are often performed in our palace."

"It seems you don't want to be in the 1st Army?"

"No matter how you say that I am the only one of these lieutenant generals who has led the Legion-level battle independently. When others see that I have a good relationship with Barclays, they are afraid that they will still be prepared to isolate me."

Although Solovyov has always had a good reputation, and the commanders of the 1st Army of the Western Region are both acquaintances, these people have conflicts with each other and he does not want to participate.

However, the composition of the 2nd Army is relatively simple. Baglation, the commander-in-chief, went down. Raevsky, the commander of the 7th Army, had known him for a long time. The two commanders of the 8th Army were simply his brother-in-law and the other Neverovsky also did it under his hands.

"If you are worried about this, go to Bagladion. He also needs people, but you have been the commander of the army. It may be a low-level team for you to be a commander, but Polozkin does not No mistake can be replaced."

"It doesn't matter. At least it won't cause any trouble when going there. And I think if the French want to attack, they cannot launch large corps along the Baltic road, and the flanks are conducive to our defense. It's more dangerous. Yes, probably on the flank side. If we want to cover, we will have to fight fiercely with the enemy every day."

"You are right to ensure the movement and completion of tasks of the main force of the Legion. In addition, whether it is King Gustav or my daughter, they are still young, and I am still a little worried about the matter in Sweden."

There is indeed this problem, but the Grand Duke himself may have some concerns.

"They want to come here, and I'm afraid they will have winter, but it's hard to say whether they have the ability to guarantee them at that time."

The Swedish army and the Russian army are not of the same level. If they really turn against each other, it will definitely not work.

"No, I'm worried about it, if the French take any action."

"No, their attention is probably all about us now, especially the war with Turkey has not officially ended."

"Some people are jealous of the honor you have achieved in Turkey."

"But there is another problem. I am considering the land in the border area and how to effectively consolidate our border areas."

After returning to St. Petersburg from the Guards, Grand Duke Constantine has not been to the front in the past few years. He is relatively pro-French in the royal family, which is very different from his military image.

Speaking of which, it is also because he does not like to write letters. Catherine puts all her love for her two brothers on the eldest brother, the Tsar.

Therefore, he is not like Solovyov, who walked a long way, saw a lot, and had his own ideas.

"Are you talking about Moldavia and the Caucasus?"

"I think the land in southern Russia and Ukraine is fertile. If we introduce some immigrants, after a few decades of transformation, we can transform the swamps and wastelands into fertile fields, all covered with crops, especially corn."

"I heard that you have been forcing your children to eat corn paste recently."

Constantine couldn't help laughing. This kid's hobby is also very strange. When feeding his weaned children, he was simply

"I like corn myself, Your Highness, would you like a corn salad too?"

"If you are with the brothers, it's good to eat this, and there are peas Mush. It's just that you eat these things in the army, and you also let your sons and daughters eat them. I heard that your daughters are not close to you, and are not as close as my sister-in-law's daughters. "

"It's really strange. Whether I raised my own children or helped take care of the children in the palace, I never encountered such a thing. My own daughter is not close to you."

"Put these things aside, how are you going to farm?"

"Can we introduce people from various German states and foreigners who have nowhere to go because of crowded plots?"

Although Constantine and Alexander received the same education, Alexander turned to politics in the later period, while Grand Duke Constantine preferred military affairs.

He has never been very sensitive in this regard, but now he can guess that this is exactly the same as his grandmother's tricking fellow villagers to come to Russia to farm.

So, he said so.

"In that case, we may have to build a prison in Saratov."

"No, I have other ideas, which are different from what Her Majesty did at that time."

Grand Duke Constantine heard it and thought it was normal.

"Well, interesting, tell me about it."

"If we want to attract them, we have to think about the current bad situation in Europe. Taxation and looting alone are already troublesome. But if we give these people a piece of land in some cold places like Orenburg, they are not very willing. If they go to Siberia to dig apples, it will also be a disaster."

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one post!

"What should you do if you want to go to the southern Russian steppes?"

"From Tsaritsyn to the south, there are Kalmyks everywhere. We don't necessarily need to introduce only farmers who grow crops, but also craftsmen and merchants. I recently read a review paper on the city-states along the Black Sea coast, which I think is still very interesting."

"What does it say?"

"The Greeks had a trading post with the nomadic Scythians in Rostov-on-Don, but it was unexpectedly established relatively late, a few years before Hannibal's defeat in Zama."

"So late?"

"It should be said that it has a lot to do with Crimea. It's not that we can't read Diodorus in Sicily. There are many fragmentary contents in his records."

Among the four brothers, Mikhail is the youngest brother, but he likes to study the most. The second one is Alexander, who is talented and smart but lazy to study. Constantine is very self-disciplined, but the brain of this second brother is obviously not enough, and the content he studies also tends to be military.

When saying this, it was a bit confusing. The more I talked to Soloviev, the more he would show off his knowledge.

But there was no other way, so I could only continue like this.

"Are you going to fill up all the land here?"

"If possible, exempt them from military service. It's much better to come here than in some places before. However, there must be a lot of people who want good land, and we can't give everyone a good one. If they come here, they don't just want to cultivate the land, they have to do a lot of things, even the nobles."

After hearing this, Constantine still couldn't guess his next idea, but there was no problem in attracting immigrants from Central Europe, which was currently being plundered by France.

But the Poles can't be sent to Siberia, where they will cause trouble, so it's better to send them to the Rossburg Colony in North America.

And this series of talent introduction plans will indeed be more difficult at that time, and the number of people who can come before the war breaks out will be limited.

It's hard to say what the situation will be in the future.

For example, if there are captured French soldiers, it doesn't sound strange if they settle down somewhere.

This kind of thing is probably a daily event in Russia.

Telling this to Grand Duke Constantine is naturally to seek some support.

He must agree with the expansion of population. As long as some people can be attracted from Europe to reduce the pressure of labor, it seems that it will be easier for him to recruit soldiers.

And those people who are on Russian territory in the future should also realize that this place, apart from the ice and snow, is not bad.

"This method is interesting. When there is no war, we can attract some people to come here, but the old problem is, what if someone really escapes?"

"There is no better way, it always makes it inconvenient for them to travel in these places. But compared with going to the United States, it may be good. After all, we still give them the opportunity to be a decent master. If it is the United States, I don’t know when they will finally come out."

Hearing this, Grand Duke Constantine couldn’t help laughing.

What kind of joke is this? He also took classes from the tutor from Switzerland. If Solovyov said so, the feudal system might be better than the more advanced system on paper.

"This is different from what Mr. Laharp said. Did you get something wrong?"

"This is a kind of authoritarianism, not autocracy or an advanced system. If democracy is really that easy, the agitators who give speeches on the streets are probably the most powerful. For example, the protagonist in the Catiline conspiracy, but if he only has a mouth, it is not enough. We need to do things down to earth, and there must always be institutional guarantees."

The target is actually the decision-making of the Tsar himself. If the Tsar's ability is low, the country will seem to be finished soon.

If the decision-making ability is stronger, there is still some room for negotiation.

But don't be stupid and hardworking, this is also a troublesome thing.

From this point of view, in fact, people like Constantine who are very self-aware are more suitable to be Tsar.

It's just that after he and Alexander were stimulated by the assassination of their father, Constantine had made up his mind.

"Perhaps what you said makes sense, Misha. But we have to consider these immigration issues. You can't get people from the German princes now. Even if my brother and I write to my sisters, and my sister-in-law talks to the relatives at home, there needs to be a peaceful environment. Before that, how are you going to deal with it?"

"That's probably to get people from the Balkans. We now control many places in Wallachia and even Rumelia. If they immigrate from mainland Greece, it will be convenient to arrange them in Crimea, or even Balaklava."

Having said that, it is obvious that there are still some contingency plans, and there are ethnic groups in these places in Russia, and the customs and communication differences are not that big.

Even catching tens of thousands of Turks is not a problem. (End of this chapter)
