"General Turgenev, your choice is incomparably wise!" Major Yu Hai suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said with a smile. More than 50,000 Russian troops surrendered, which will allow the squadron to reduce casualties by at least two or three thousand. At the same time, this is also a huge blow to the morale of the Russian army. The Russian army in the entire eastern Siberian region is only about 300,000 people, and 100,000 people were annihilated and captured in Kyakhta, which is equivalent to eliminating one-third of the Russian army. Although these Russian troops are just garbage troops, they can be regarded as a huge victory. You know, this is just the second day of the squadron launching a full-front war.

"Your Excellency Major, your army must ensure the safety of the lives and property of our surrendered personnel!" Turgenev added. As soon as they laid down their arms, the Russian soldiers became lambs to the slaughter, and if the Chinese side reversed themselves, they would be dead.

"Don't worry, General, I promise you'll get what you deserve!" Yu Hai said.

According to the previous assumption, the Russian surrenderers would be imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp in Kulen and remain there until the end of the war. After the war, the Russians paid enough ransom to ransom them. Of course, if the Russians do not wish to pay the ransom, they can exchange territory, gold, or even other equivalents. If the Tsar really didn't pull out a dime, then he only had to use these Russian soldiers as coolies. Anyway, these old hairy people are tall and big, and they must be much better at work than the natives of Little Japan and Southeast Asia.

The surrender ceremony took place at noon, and Major General Turgenev represented the Russian army in Kyakhta. Lieutenant General Chen Anguo, commander of the Third Army of the Chinese Army, handed over the saber in his hand, and subsequently. The Russian army in Kyakhta handed over all its weapons in an orderly manner, including more than 40,000 rifles, more than 100 heavy machine guns and more than 100 artillery pieces of various calibers. For these Russian troops, it is undoubtedly the best to be able to survive. Although they stick to Kyakhta, they may be posthumously regarded as warriors by the tsar, but their lives are gone, so what is the use of other titles? As for their surrender. What the tsar will do with them, this is not their concern either.

The Chinese side is also very fortunate that if more than 50,000 Russian troops hold Kyakhta, with the fortifications they have built, as well as the hundreds of heavy machine guns and artillery, it will be enough to cause huge losses to the squadron. If you bombard Kyakhta with heavy artillery, wipe Kyakhta away. That would consume a lot of shells. In the next stage, we will enter the hinterland of Eastern Siberia to fight, and the logistical supply will be more difficult.

"Chief of Staff, quickly send the news of the surrender of the Russian army in Kyakhta to His Majesty and the Minister of War!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said. Destroy 100,000 enemies in two days. There is no doubt that this is a huge feat. The war had only just begun, and he believed that by the end of the war, he would be able to be promoted to general by virtue of these exploits.

"Yes, Commander!" Major General Liu Dingyi, Chief of Staff, said with a smile. Such great feats have been achieved. This is the credit of their Third Army and the Third Cavalry Army. As a soldier, in addition to fulfilling the responsibility of killing the enemy and serving the country. It's more important to be promoted.

After receiving the telegram, Cai Yun, the Minister of War who commanded the northern battlefield operations in Kulen, was greatly pleased, and ordered the Third Army to march on Ulan-Ude immediately after resting for two days. At the same time, the latest battle report was reported to Ulan-Ude, and 100,000 Russian troops from Irkutsk had already marched towards Ulan-Ude along the Baikal railway. It is expected that in five days it will be able to join the Ulan-Ude operation. The Fourth Army will take the opportunity to capture Baikalsk, complete the division of Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, block the Russian army in Irkutsk, and at the same time, block the escape path of the Russian army in Ulan-Ude. The Third Army and the Third Cavalry Army must hurry up and annihilate the Russian army in Ulan-Ude. If this battle is won again, then the overall situation of the entire northern battlefield will be decided.

Beijing, the Imperial Palace, Wang Yuze is accompanying the concubines to dine. Although, after becoming the emperor, his time is more free and he can spend more time with his family. But after the start of the war, he was busy again. There is less time to spend with the family, but fortunately, the queen and the concubines are well aware of the righteousness and do not care. And Wang Yuze also tried to spend time with them as much as possible.

The royal lunch, the dishes are not rich, but they are delicious. Wang Yuze advocates frugality and opposes extravagance and waste. In addition, Wang Yuze did not use the Forbidden City as an imperial palace, and the newly built Xinhua Palace was much smaller than the Forbidden City, and the number of female officials and guards needed was not much, which made the cost of the imperial family hundreds of times less than that of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Menghan, how are the children doing with their studies lately? I've been too busy lately to take care of them? Wang Yuze asked.

"The kids work hard, everyone works hard!" Queen Xiong Menghan replied. According to Wang Yuze's request, he did not ask teachers to teach the princes and princesses, but sent them to ordinary schools. Although it is a civilian school, the quality of teaching is guaranteed. In addition, the princes and princesses are diligent and studious, and the current situation is also very good.

"That's good!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. The empire can be developed by him and a group of ministers, but in the future, he will have to rely on his descendants to defend the country. Although he had already made up his mind to implement a constitutional monarchy in the future, in the beginning, the power of the imperial family must have been very large, and it was necessary for the new emperor to be able to carry out the system. Otherwise, China will return to the vicious circle of dynastic change, which will be very detrimental to the development of the entire country and nation.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Defense asks to see you!" At this time, Wu Hao, the chief of the guard, walked in and said.

"Let him go to the study! I'll go right over! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Yuze ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, wiped his mouth and said goodbye to the concubines. The concubines also knew that the Minister of National Defense had come to meet at this point in time, and there must be urgent military affairs to discuss.

"Jiang Aiqing, is there anything big happening?" Wang Yuze asked as soon as he entered the study.

"Your Majesty, the Kyakhta front has sent back a message that the Russian army in Kyakhta has surrendered!" Jiang Xingguo said excitedly.

"What? Russian troops in Kyakhta surrendered? Are there more than 50,000 of them? How did you surrender so easily? Wang Yuze said in disbelief. He originally thought that it would take two or three days to conquer Kyakhta, and it would take thousands of casualties to complete. But now the Russian army has actually surrendered.

"This morning, the 9th Cossack Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Corps, which the Russian army moved south from Ulan-Ude, fought fiercely, and the 3rd Cavalry Army annihilated more than 10,000 enemies with more than 200 casualties. The Russian army in Kyakhta, after knowing the news, also knew that it had fallen into a mortal situation. That's why they surrendered to the Third Army! Jiang Xingguo explained.

"Haha! Good, very good! In less than two days, more than 100,000 enemies were annihilated, which really greatly increased the prestige of our empire! Wu Hao, please come over immediately, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Interior! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Hao immediately ordered someone to pass the order.

Wang Yuze was very happy, since the start of the war, he and the top of the empire have been facing tremendous pressure. At the same time, it started a war with the five major powers, which made the people in the country very pessimistic, for fear of the defeat of the empire. The victory of the navy, although greatly boosted everyone's morale. But it is also clear to everyone that the navy will also face the most formidable enemy, the British navy, and whether it will be able to achieve victory. In contrast, the army annihilated more than 100,000 Russian troops in the first battle of the northern city, which will also be a surprise to the citizens of the empire. Russia's enemies on land are mainly Russia, and as long as Russia is defeated, even if the navy loses, the empire can guarantee security.

Soon, Prime Minister Yang Hua, Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong and Home Minister Lu Zhengxiang came to Wang Yuze's study.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" After the three of them came to the study, they immediately congratulated Wang Yuze. On the way here, they had already received relevant news. This is also a great excitement for them.

"Haha, rejoice, rejoice!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this news should be released immediately, so that the people of the empire know that the army has won such a victory in the north, so that everyone can rest assured!" Yang Hua said.

"Good! Let newspapers such as the "Imperial Daily" print an extra copy! At the same time, order the governments at all levels below to put up notices to convey the good news! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Hua said.

"Your Majesty, we should also note the ambassadors to China of countries such as Germany and Austria-Hungary to inform them of this news and strengthen their trust in the Empire!" Foreign Minister Ng Dinh Fong said. After all, this time China is at war with the five major powers at the same time, and many countries are not good for China, which makes China seem somewhat isolated in the international community. And this big victory is an opportunity to show other countries how strong China is.

"Yes! In this way, a party will be held at the Imperial Palace tonight, and all countries are invited to participate in the season in China! Wang Yuze said.

After the discussion, everyone immediately took action. The major newspapers began to step up typesetting, and within two hours, the out-of-issue had already been printed. A large number of newsboys were hawking on the streets: "Outside! Extra! The emperor's ** team defeated the Russian army in Kyakhta, 50,000 Russian troops surrendered, and a total of more than 100,000 enemies were annihilated! ”

Suddenly, the entire city of Beijing was detonated, and pedestrians on the street surrounded the newsboy to buy newspapers. And a little late, I didn't buy it, and I listened to others read the newspaper. After learning that the emperor ** team had won a big victory, the whole Beijing became a sea of joy.
