Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Joseph Bonaparte was under a lot of pressure, and as the eldest brother in the family, he was actually responsible for the household.

Even if his younger brother became emperor, this would be his main task.

And there is another problem now. Although Mortier and Marmont have returned, the situation in Paris is not good.

Even when he arrived at the Tuileries Palace, his face was full of sorrow.

"Dear brother, don't be like this. Even if my brother calls me, it won't be a big deal."

After hearing this, Joseph was not surprised, but he was also quite surprised that his younger brother and sister, who could be his daughter, stood on this side so straightforwardly. Although this was an outward move for Russia, it was always beneficial for France.

"My brother will not treat France the same way as those people. Some people just want to create chaos so that they can profit from it. For example, those who communicated with my brother and Prince Metternich probably all had this purpose."

"Catherine, now that you know everything, this is easy to handle."

"They will probably target you, but don't do it like you did when you left Madrid, even though I wasn't married at that time."

Now the queen's belly has started to show.

"Yes, but"

"The children will be fine. Besides being the queen, I am also the Grand Duchess of Russia. Those people are not the thugs from 20 years ago."

Even more outrageous is that there are probably some people who are still alive in the Jacobin Club. They know that although Tsar Alexander has gone down the path of autocracy and will never return, there are always some enlightened people around him.

Therefore, those who sent Louis XVI and his wife to the guillotine were actually actively ready to fight with the foreign anti-French coalition forces at this time, but some people would choose to jump off the train.

This situation is a bit complicated.

Mr. Talleyrand seemed to be doing nothing, but he was also in contact with Louis XVIII and the British through specific channels.

It's not just the Russians either, he's always been bullish.

But if someone talks about the ancient Chinese families... You have been online for more than 20 years. This kind of betting behavior is not something that can be decided by humans. If you are alone, you still have to look at Mr. Talleyrand's operations.

He has already made some arrangements at this time, and even has a deep understanding of the pain points of people in the Bonaparte family.

"If we announce that we are arresting Joseph Bonaparte, he will probably run away and even take away the Bonaparte family."

"But there are problems. Look at our emperor who married a Russian woman and even likes hunting. If her brother's army hadn't come here, she might have gone out for a trip in the spring. If this woman takes any action, we have to exercise restraint, because her brother really has a million troops, and he brought more than 100 troops to France."

"And, Talleyrand, you know what? The Allied forces are still very afraid of Napoleon, but the strange thing is that what happened in Reims..."

"That was a few days ago. If His Majesty still wanted to take any measures, I think he would attack the Austrians."

These people were talking to Talleyrand about something, and although it sounded related to the current situation, he never made a clear statement. He only mentioned that the Tsar did have a lot of troops and Catherine could not be provoked.

His "teammates" included those who came from other provinces and wanted to protect their wealth; some locals who had made enough money; and some who felt they could benefit under the king's rule.

These people were always able to provide Mr. Talleyrand with ammunition and give him sufficient conditions to jump out of the car.

But the battle of Reims lasted a day, not because Napoleon had no chance of winning, but because Solovyov was completely attritional and the French emperor had no time.

But what was written in the Grand Army's bulletin was very strange. In short, the Russian army was trapped in Reims and captured another 10,000 prisoners in Soissons. The army of the French Empire once again won a glorious victory.

If this communiqué were shown to the country folk, it might be of some use and might boost the morale of the French.

But for some people in Paris, it was obviously like losing a loved one.

After all, the Allied prisoners sent to Paris were real, and they were all sent to the Loire Valley, apparently to intimidate the unruly people of Vendée.

Among Napoleon's opponents were bankers. In addition to the fact that their financing was affected, Napoleon's actions had caused stock prices in France to fall and have not recovered to this day, which had seriously affected their pockets.

Of course, if the coalition forces could win, then the long-term return on British and Russian government bonds purchased in London would probably still be very high.

Stocks are for the present, gold is for retaining value, and bonds are more or less for the long term.

But as long as Napoleon was still alive, it would be of no benefit to these bankers.

However, during the king's time, French bankers still made a lot of money through continental and overseas trade, but the taxes they paid to the king were very limited.

Otherwise, how could it have become such big news when the king convened the Estates General after the famine?

It’s no wonder what they are going to do now.

As long as Napoleon had some kind of failure, even a small one that could be detected by these people in Paris, they would probably be ready to act.

After all, if Louis XVIII could be welcomed back, the benefits would be huge.

In fact, the anti-French coalition had also considered what they were going to do.

Solovyov still wanted his troops to rest in Reims, and he did not even send any troops to pursue the French.

So much so that when Blücher came back, he got angry with him.

"Count, you shouldn't have let the usurper get away like this!"

But Blücher's brain was not as active as Solovyov's.

Even the young count had no intention of talking to the old man. Whenever he had something to discuss, he would try to consult Gneisenau, at least there would be no mistakes.

"But we don't have the ability to fight back. You've seen the battlefield in Reims. We haven't even finished cleaning up the battlefield or burying the bodies. We even have to consider whether there will be an outbreak of plague. This should be the most intense battle since we entered France."

This reason is impeccable.

Solovyov had mentioned this problem before, and the plague is very serious in Saxony now.

It will take time to solve this problem. At least if the army has time to clean up the battlefield, many problems can be avoided in the future. "Well, we can't let all the soldiers get infected with the plague."

"Also, we still need two days. Besides that, I will write a memorial to our emperor to further explain the current situation."

But Solovyov would not tell Blücher what the content was.

Maybe it was resolved when Queen Louise talked to him, or maybe during sex.

Although this idea was not good, he did not have much time to be intimate with his wife and lover when he was in Poland, and his stay in Weimar was only short.

However, some things cannot be explained so clearly.

Solovyov could now only be responsible to the Tsar himself. After all, he had served as a military attaché in Paris, so this matter was easy for him to accomplish.

Moreover, the memorial to Alexander would certainly pass through Arakcheev and Nesherrode.

Although the former belongs to an opposing faction, they will still follow the Tsar's baton, so nothing serious will happen.

What he was worried about was that when the royalists came to power in the future, they might turn against him or do something else.

In fact, Alexander should have considered this, but Solovyov didn't know it at the time because he had not been with the Tsar since he went to war.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of being an attendant general is that it is easier to get close to the monarch.

Before that, he had only shown the content to Nicholas.

"Boss, I don't quite understand why you think Louis XVIII will turn against us if he comes to power."

"Your Highness."

Solovyov's tone was also very serious, because there was also General Langsdorff who was the "Grand Tutor", and he was now the "Junior Tutor" or "Junior Guardian", and always had some power to discipline Nicholas.

Hearing the serious tone of the "boss", Nicholas now realized that it was time to talk about serious matters.

"What I can teach you is not just knowledge. That is just to shape your worldview and give you a full understanding. Now, sometimes I will teach you some methods. You are going to the army and you are no longer a child."

Actually, Solovyov still prefers the little Nikolai who has not grown up yet. He has a ponytail and looks like a girl. He even speaks softly. He is a pink and tender little guy.
Once I think about his image of a balding middle-aged man in the future, it’s a little hard to accept.

Judging from the amount of hair on his relatives' heads, Solovyov thought that most of them had thick hair, so he didn't have to worry. Even in his father-in-law's family, only his father-in-law was bald.

He doesn't have to worry about his image in the future, but Nicholas.

Now is the time to teach him something so that he won't be cheated by the French or the British in the future.

"Your Highness, you were too young when Louis XVIII was in Russia, so you probably don't have any impression of him. But the French have always had a tradition of defaulting on their debts. In diplomacy, we always follow the principle of backroom politics, even with the envoys of the Khitan Emperor."

Here we have to mention that "Xiao Duozi", that is, Longkodo, who stood next to Jinling deputy general Ma Guocheng, did not lose face when negotiating with Russia.

But when Ma Qi came later, Ma Zhongtang must have accepted money from the Russians. In addition, Yongzheng was eager to complete the border survey at that time, so he took Lao Duozi into consideration. In this way, the demarcation was completed in accordance with the bottom line of the Qing Dynasty.

"If we want to sign a peace treaty, shouldn't it be left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"It is to be handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for archiving as the basis for the demarcation of the border between the two sides, or as the terms of a certain peace treaty. It will be useful in the future. However, some terms are only known to the two negotiating parties, and cannot be easily shown to third parties."

But this is only part of the treaty. Although Nicholas has made progress, he has not yet transformed from the stupid son of a landlord - or so you might say.

There were still many things he didn't understand, especially the fact that the French would turn against each other.

"It's not the first time for them, Your Highness. And who knows what Britain and Austria, who are our allies today, will do tomorrow."

"Does it also include Luoqin's country?"

"Yes, that also includes Prussia. Although you will be the son-in-law of the King of Prussia in the future, at least when Princess Charlotte's parents and brothers are around, the relationship between Russia and Prussia will be very good, but when it comes to the next generation, it will be another matter."

For Russia, a ruthless political machine is actually very useful, but the Luo family has always been very sentimental since Mikhail and his father, who was the patriarch. Unless at a critical moment, they generally will not resort to bloody coup means.

Come to think of it, senior bankers in the Caucasus are also like this.

Nicholas probably can't do it, even if he has a son, and there's no telling what will happen in the future.

In short, no one in Lao Luo's family can stamp a document without emotion, and they are always impulsive.

If they really want to find someone with lower emotional fluctuations, Anna, who is not married yet, may be the one who meets this condition the most. If she is a boy, she may be a backup, but her ability will also be limited.

Now we have no choice but to give Nikola extra lessons, after all, his identity is here.

"They will definitely jump out. No matter how much Russia gets in the next peace talks, or even if it gets nothing, they will instinctively oppose us. After all, Russia is so big. As for our interests, they will probably just try to lock us all in the Black Sea."

What has been said is very clear, that is, Britain and France cannot be trusted.

As for the following content, Solovyov also told Nikolai how Britain and France dealt with the Netherlands in the past.

Compared to France, the Netherlands is probably Russia's dream country. Peter the Great even sneaked out to take a look, and there are also many Dutch people in Russia.

In order to avoid paying their debts, these two countries have done a lot.

After Solovyov finished speaking, it caused serious trauma to Nikolai's tall but young heart.

"This is not good, what should we do next?"

"Your Highness, I presented to the Emperor not only the worry that Louis XVIII would go back on his word, but also another thing. If he comes back, we must settle accounts with his political enemies. Although Louis XVIII and the Duke of Richelieu on our side probably won't do that, it's hard to say what other royalists and those who want to gain benefits will do."

Solovyov knew exactly what was going to happen, but he still wanted to use the royalists as a scapegoat.

If the man-eating monster lands at Port Juan in the future and the emperor reaches faithful Paris, I hope he can turn Waterloo into Mont Saint-Jean and wait until the Russian army arrives before defeating the battle, instead of making it seem like the British finally defeated Napoleon, which would give them something to brag about.
