In Chapter 25 of Episode 5, the Battle of Beijing North,

the Russian army began its northward retreat at dawn. After a night of fierce fighting, suffering over 30,000 casualties, they failed to capture the Chinese army's forward positions. Marshal Valodin realized the situation was dire and at 6:00 AM ordered a retreat towards Huairou and Miyun, quickly disengaging from the Chinese army and regrouping near Gaoliying and Niulanshan. The already decimated Russian army, upon receiving the order, immediately began its retreat. The Russian troops, leaving behind countless corpses, disappeared from the outskirts of Beijing in the dawn light.

I did not order my soldiers to pursue immediately. Firstly, the enemy's retreat inevitably involved ambushes, and I did not want my soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices. Secondly, our positions had also suffered heavy losses, and we were truly unable to immediately launch a counterattack. If we weakened our defenses and the enemy attacked again, we would be unable to hold our positions, and the losses would be too great!

However, our powerful rocket artillery was not idle, relentlessly bombarding the enemy, thus helping the Russian army to carry out another major demobilization.

Meanwhile, Zuo Baogui's troops began to be stationed at Miaofeng Mountain, Gaoyakou, Badaling, Huanghuacheng, Xinying, and Huairou; Li Gang's troops began to advance to the line of Xiwengzhuang, Miyun, Dougezhuang, and Dahua Mountain; Liu Kun's troops, who had just gotten off the train, were stationed at Jiaogezhuang, Xujiawu, Mafang, and Zhangxin; Sheng Yu's troops also made timely reorganizations and quickly entered Qinghe and Beiyuan; the First Army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, led by Defense Minister Andreevich (formerly An Fusheng, the division commander of Haibo's troops), entered Dongba and Sutuo, forming a large encirclement of the enemy.

At 9:30 AM, the Battle of Beijing North with the Russian army commenced. The first to speak were our loud-voiced artillerymen: two artillery regiments from the Beijing forces, two regiments from Zuo Baogui, one regiment from Li Gang, three regiments from Liu Kunyi, and a newly formed regiment from the Grand Duchy of Moscow—a total of nine regiments, with over two hundred cannons—simultaneously unleashed their barrage on the Russian troops. The land north of Beijing trembled with the sound of artillery fire. An hour-long bombardment decimated the newly assembled Russian forces, allowing our army to launch an offensive.

Several of our tank units moved with impunity, leading the charge into the enemy lines. Initially, the enemy was terrified by the roaring steel monsters, fleeing at the mere sight of them, creating numerous opportunities for our assault. However, the enemy later realized their mistake and began using large bundles of cluster grenades to counter the tank attacks, bringing six or seven of our tanks to a standstill. Zhang Zhidong's strategy of coordinating infantry and tank units prevented the tanks from suffering further losses from cluster grenades, but it also suppressed the momentum of our offensive.

On the fourth day, inspired by the method used to rescue Catherine, Zuo Baogui's troops adopted a strategy of digging tunnels to quickly approach the enemy. They successively captured several important enemy strongholds, including Chawu, Mulin, and Yanggezhuang, driving the enemy across the Chaobai River and completely controlling the area east of the river. Li Gang's troops then took advantage of the enemy's panic during their retreat and launched a strong attack, liberating Shunyi on the fifth day.

Thus, the remaining hundreds of thousands of enemy troops were completely confined to the narrow area of Gaoliying and Niulanshan.

Valodin immediately organized the Russian army to dig trenches and build fortifications, relying on towns and villages to put up a stubborn resistance, which hindered our army's advance.

Because the Long Army's Shadow Squad had organized the local population to carry out a scorched-earth policy and a complete evacuation overnight, the enemy now only occupied a few empty villages and towns. They had no food, nowhere to rest, and landmines everywhere that exploded upon entering a courtyard, causing heavy casualties among the Russian soldiers and creating a climate of fear.

I knew this was thanks to Yu'er's Shadow Squad; while helping Min'er organize the evacuation, they also conveniently provided a welcoming salute to the Russian army.

The continued siege was effective; hunger had driven the Russian soldiers to madness. They recklessly rushed into homes searching for anything edible, devouring all sorts of wild grass and tree bark. By the seventh day, they began to cannibalize the corpses of fallen soldiers. The Russian soldiers were gradually losing their minds.

On the eighth day, seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Zhidong and I discussed it and decided to launch a final attack on the enemy at night to completely annihilate this stubborn enemy.

Upon receiving the order to prepare for the general offensive, Liu Kun's unit and Li Gang's unit quickly began to requisition boats nearby, preparing to force a crossing of the Chaobai River. Zuo Baogui's troops slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers, allowing them to rest and prepare for a decisive battle.

Around noon, Zhang Zhidong, Yan'er, Shu'er, some generals, and I were conducting final tactical research before the attack when Li Xianglin cheerfully called me out: "Your Majesty, Na Fei is back! She's in your bedroom and wants you to come back immediately!"

Hearing that my little darling was back, I went inside, greeted them, and rushed to my temporary bedroom in Xiaotangshan. I ran and stumbled all the way, leaving Li Xianglin panting heavily, shouting after me, "Your Majesty, wait for me!"

I was so angry I wanted to kick him. He never practiced his skills when I told him to, but after running this far, he was exhausted like a turtle. Was he acting like a guard?

Back at my lodging, I rushed into the bedroom like a whirlwind and saw a woman lying on my bed. I rushed over and hugged her tightly. Catherine cried out in surprise as I embraced her, but seeing it was me, she frowned and clung to me tightly. We hugged for what seemed like an eternity before I finally looked down at my beloved wife, whom I hadn't yet tasted. Good heavens, her once stunningly beautiful face was now swollen beyond recognition. It had been eight or nine days, and she still hadn't fully recovered. It was clear how much she had suffered. My heart ached, and I hugged her tightly again. "Catherine, you've suffered so much! Don't worry! This time I'll devour them all, and none of them will be able to return to Russia and cause you any trouble!"

Catherine wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "Catherine forced them to send me back because of this! Catherine wants to plead with His Majesty to release them!"

Release them? This was a matter of principle, over 100,000 enemy troops! Let them escape back, making our next northern expedition even more difficult? That wouldn't do; it would require the blood of our soldiers! That wouldn't do! "Besides, how could you, Catherine, make such an unacceptable request?" I hesitated, remaining silent.

Catherine continued, "They've figured me out this time! Nicholas II made a grand promise to send men to capture me; they're afraid of me, afraid of my prestige among the Russian people. A monarch, no matter how powerful, is ultimately alone if he has no one to support him! Many of these soldiers were deceived into joining us. I wonder if I could persuade them to surrender, even if it's just 20,000 or 30,000, they'll be a force for us in establishing the Grand Duchy of Moscow! It would save us the trouble of using guns and cannons against them! Your Majesty, don't think I'm..." "You're so petty, Na'er said. Even if we conquer the land, Na'er will only hold the title, and her husband will still have to send people to manage her. Na'er only wishes to never leave His Majesty, to be with him forever! To be a good wife and mother in His Majesty's household, to be loved by His Majesty every day, and to serve His Majesty in bed every day!"

I laughed: "Aren't you treating me like a petty person? Persuading him to surrender is a good idea, but you can't persuade him to surrender in person. I can't let you be in any danger again! If it weren't for Zuo Baogui risking his life to save you this time, how could I bear it? I think we should write a letter of persuasion to surrender in your name." "Let our front lines broadcast this to them, let's print it out as Russian leaflets and distribute it over there! I think we should have Catherine urge the Russian soldiers to surrender. You write it first, and then we'll discuss it together!"

Catherine's eyes sparkled. After thinking for a moment, she kissed me and said, "Okay, I'll write it now. His Majesty doesn't understand Russian, so I'll just have to write a Chinese draft and translate it into Russian later!"

Catherine immediately sat down at the table, picked up a pen, and started writing. But after writing a few words, she tore it up. She wrote again, tore it up again, and finally stood up and pulled me away. She said, "No, I can't concentrate at all right now. Come here, hold me, and I'll be able to write!"

What's wrong with her? I wanted to laugh, but when I saw her swollen face, my heart ached. I quickly sat down in the chair, pulled her into my arms, and gently said, "Is this okay?"

She didn't say anything, but unbuttoned her clothes, pulled my hand into her arms, and pressed it against her intoxicating softness. She groaned, "Hmm, this helps me concentrate a little! Honestly, it's all your fault, you've messed up my mind!"

As she spoke, she began to write rapidly, but I really couldn't take it anymore. Her faint fragrance and intoxicating softness made my penis exceptionally large, like a cannon, pressing against her small, upturned buttocks. She seemed to have noticed it all along, but she seemed to enjoy it, twisting her little bottom and letting my cannon sit between her legs. I could almost feel it pressing against that soft spot.

This made me even more unable to resist, so I transferred my passion to my hands and began to gently knead her two perfectly firm breasts.

Although Catherine's breasts appeared quite full, they weren't very large. They fit perfectly in my hands, one in each. I kneaded her soft breasts, gently flicking her delicate nipples with my little fingers. After a while, they became erect. When I touched them, the soft flesh of her breasts trembled, and the feeling was wonderful!

She was completely absorbed, the only sound the scribbling of her pen. Damn it, while I was left in a daze, she was flowing with inspiration! What's wrong with her? Is there anyone in the world who writes documents like this? What a joke!

In less than half an hour, her draft was finished. She seemed only now to notice my hand gently caressing her breasts, and started whimpering. She quickly pulled my hand away from her bosom: "You big bad guy, trying to take advantage of me!"

She handed me what she had written, and I took it and read it: "

General Valodin and my Russian soldier friends:

I am Princess Catherine, Grand Duchess of Moscow, Russia. I am currently with the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty of China. Our two armies, numbering in the millions, have completely surrounded your hundreds of thousands of troops! You are now at your wits' end. Your army in the Far East has been annihilated, and Nicholas II has already turned and fled to St. Petersburg. You have no hope of joining forces with any Russian army. Now you are surrounded by our allied forces on all sides; you have no chance of breaking out!" For over ten days, under our relentless encirclement and heavy attacks, your positions have shrunk considerably. You only have a small area, roughly twenty li in length and width, at Niulanshan and Gaoliying. With so many people crammed together, a single artillery shell could kill a whole bunch of you. As a general, you should cherish your men, value their lives, and find them a way to survive as soon as possible, instead of making them suffer unnecessary sacrifices. You know that Nicholas II, a warmonger, took advantage of the leadership transition in China to launch a massive invasion, occupying over five million square kilometers of Chinese territory over the years and accumulating countless crimes. Now is the time for the Chinese army to reclaim its lost territory and pay for its blood debts! China is now a wealthy and powerful nation with advanced weaponry, far superior to Russia's. This time, you sent nearly 300,000 troops, while Beijing only had 80,000. After a day and a night of fighting, what advantage did you gain? Now, the Chinese army has converged on the Beijing area, surrounding you. Do you still have any hope of survival? Now that I have officially established the Grand Duchy of Moscow and raised the banner of overthrowing the tyrannical and incompetent Emperor Nicholas II, I urge you to immediately order your entire army to lay down your arms, cease resistance, and stand with me to overthrow Nicholas II, who disregards the lives of his people and extends his aggressive claws everywhere. Let us establish the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a land of lasting friendship with China where the people enjoy a peaceful life! Only in this way can you find your only way out and bring lasting happiness to your families and children! Think about it! If you think following me is the best course of action, then immediately move towards Dongba. Our Minister of Defense, Andreevich, will warmly receive you! If you still want to fight, then fight again, but your fate is already sealed! Try it again with your soldiers' blood if you don't believe me! Remember, the soldiers' blood will not be shed in vain; they will hold you accountable! What will you do then? You'd better think about your escape route!

I glanced at Catherine, the Empress of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and exclaimed, "Excellent! Well written! I never knew my touch had such power, instantly turning my little wife into a literary giant! It seems any beautiful woman who wants to become a writer will have to come to me and have her breasts touched!"

She blushed and punched me repeatedly, saying, "You big jerk, you're getting away with this!"

I added a couple more lines: "The Chinese Emperor has decided to immediately lead millions of troops on a northern expedition to reclaim lost territory! He will also help me re-establish the Grand Duchy of Moscow. At that time, the Chinese army will sweep across Eurasia, cannons will knock open the gates of the Winter Palace, Nicholas II will be restored to power, his empire will collapse, and like a rabbit killed after the hunt, like a tree falling and monkeys scattering, won't you become the sacrificial offerings of a sinner for all time? What will you do? I hope you won't miss this great opportunity God has given you!"

Thinking for a moment, I added, "You must be very hungry now. I have ordered millet porridge, steamed buns, and stir-fried dishes to be prepared in Dongba for the soldiers who are determined to follow me. They smell delicious. " "Oh, come and eat!"

She looked at me, hugged and kissed me, and said, "Great! Let

's use this as a warning to force them to make a firm decision! And don't forget to give them a little material incentive!" I handed the manuscript to Wang Songwei. He looked at it and said happily, "Good! Sun Tzu said, 'The best policy in war is to preserve the country intact; to destroy it is next best. The best policy is to preserve the army intact; to destroy it is next best. The best policy is to preserve the brigade intact; to destroy it is next best. The best policy is to preserve the battalion intact; to destroy it is next best. The best policy is to preserve the squad intact; to destroy it is next best. Therefore, to win a hundred battles is not the acme of skill; to subdue without fighting is the acme of skill.'" "The art of war is the pinnacle of skill! Therefore, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans; next is to disrupt their alliances; next is to attack their army; and the worst is to besiege their cities. The method of besieging cities is—"

This old scholar was starting to lecture me on Sun Tzu's Art of War. I quickly said, "Alright, Mr. Wang, let's stop now. Go and print it out and distribute it to the enemy camp!"

The old scholar chuckled, "Look at me, I almost forgot this important matter in my excitement! Princess Catherine's writing is quite good; I got carried away in my joy!" He then hurriedly ran out.

I reordered all units to continue preparing for the siege, but the time was extended!

No one else said anything, but Li Gang rushed over in a flurry: "Your Majesty, what's the point of keeping these animals around? Kill the jinx so we can march north! I even brought all the winter supplies, ready to hibernate in St. Petersburg!"

I kicked him: "You brat, you're always thinking ahead! Let me tell you, go back and keep preparing. First, try to recruit them, and if they don't listen, give them a good beating! Even if it's the Northern Expedition, you should start with your Far East Military Region, don't interfere here! Keep these people around if they can surrender, we have to think about my Consort Na, we can't let her be a commander without an army!"

Li Gang scratched his head and said, "I understand!"

I asked, "What do you understand?"

He turned and ran, saying, "I understand Your Majesty is afraid of his wife!"

Damn it, this kid, isn't he asking for a beating? But damn it, his legs are too long, he darted away in the blink of an eye, what a lucky break for him!

The next day, the frontline broadcasting station began repeatedly broadcasting Catherine's "Letter Urging Russian Soldiers to Surrender" in Russian, and air force planes began dropping leaflets over enemy positions.

That day, Catherine's troops received over 10,000 surrendered soldiers. Although numerous, they were mostly scattered deserters, at most forming companies. Catherine immediately settled them in the military camp at Gaobeidian to rest, and I sent Boxer Rebellion soldiers to help her arrange their living conditions.

The following day, a Russian general arrived, insisting on seeing Catherine. Learning from the previous experience, I deployed tight security around the area.

The general and Catherine talked for over an hour before the general, smiling, left the tent.

I rushed into the main tent, and Catherine immediately hugged me: "Long live the Emperor! Give me a good kiss! Over 100,000 men have surrendered! Valodin was originally one of my father's men, and he said he'd follow me back to Moscow to establish the Grand Duchy of Moscow! I promised him I'd be his prime minister!"

I patted her pert bottom and said, "Great! My little Catherine's team is all set!"

Just then, Bai Xue came in: "The matter of Zuo Baogui and the others has been investigated. They fell for Nicholas II's honey trap!"

Chapter 26 of Volume 5: A Tale of Romantic Debts

Bai Xue's words startled me, and I hurriedly said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Guan Ting is not that kind of person; he knows what's important! I absolutely do not believe this could happen! You must immediately reinvestigate for me, and you must not wrong a good cadre! Especially a loyal and patriotic general like Zuo Baogui! I tell you, any decision regarding Zuo Baogui must be reviewed by me; no one has the right to act arbitrarily! You must not shake the morale of my army!"

Bai Xue burst into a sweet laugh, covering her mouth as she laughed uncontrollably. Shu'er, following behind her, also laughed and said, "Am I right? General Zuo is His Majesty's beloved general, a hero who stepped over the corpses of the Japanese devils. His Majesty has great respect for General Zuo..." "Jun knows best, otherwise he wouldn't have been made such a high-ranking official! Sister Xue, you'd better tell the truth quickly, or His Majesty will spank your little bottom tonight!"

I understood immediately: "This girl, dares to lie to me! No need for tonight, I won't let this brat who tarnished my beloved general's reputation off right now!" I grabbed her, pulled her down her pants, revealing her snow-white and tender little bottom, and reached out—slowly kneading it: "Damn, such a beautiful little bottom, I can't bring myself to slap it! I'd better care for this little perky butt!"

Strangely enough, my several wives, even after having two children, still have such tender skin. This is probably thanks to our three cultivations, right? My gentle kneading made Xue giggle, and made Shu'er and Na'er blush. Only then did I let her go.

"Speak quickly, or I'll use torture!" I said to Bai Xue while holding Na'er.

Bai Xue then reported in a serious tone, "It was a sentry post near Borsaya that had an accident. It was quite a coincidence; General Zuo had just finished inspecting this post that day, and before he and his men had even walked a hundred li, the soldiers at the post rescued an unconscious Mongolian girl from the grasslands. After seeing General Zuo off, the sentry post commander, Yinggeli, was extremely excited. Today, General Zuo praised him, saying he had done a good job arranging patrols and training, and that this experience was worth promoting throughout the army.

General Zuo praised him! That's the emperor's favorite minister! His future is limitless! Being valued by him means my future is limitless too!

The more I think about it, the more excited I become. He opened a small cabinet under the table; inside was a large wine jar—this was their..." The outpost only had one jar of liquor, which he kept locked in his small cabinet for fear of causing trouble while drinking. He only took it out during festivals, letting everyone have a cup or two. Today, he was in a good mood, so he scooped out a small cup and drank several mouthfuls. Ah, a hot, fiery sensation surged through his body. This tasted good; no wonder people loved it!

Ingrid didn't drink; he only drank a couple of sips when he was happy. But today, he was too excited and drank a couple more. Before he could even put the liquor away, two soldiers dragged the girl, practically supporting her, into his room!

Ingrid was furious: "Why did you bring a woman into my room?" The soldier said, "

She's unconscious right now. If we don't put her in the room, she might freeze. But it's inconvenient to put her in our room. You should—"

There were three tents in total. One was the mess hall, where, besides cooking, two cooks squeezed onto a small kang (heated brick bed). Another was the dormitory for ten soldiers, where they slept on a large kang bed. Only seven people could sleep on the kang, so three went on patrol, leaving just enough room for seven. There was no extra space! Only his office/bedroom had some room, and the kang was spacious enough.

He looked at the woman's disheveled appearance and waved his hand, "Put her on the kang. You all go and rest!" "

Because it's close to the North Sea, even in June or July, it's still quite cold at night. The soldiers have to patrol over fifty li (about 25 kilometers), which is quite arduous.

There was a woman in the tent, which made him feel awkward. After the soldiers left, he locked the small liquor cabinet and went out of the tent to check on the mess hall. He was in a good mood today, so he asked the mess hall to prepare some dishes so everyone could have some drinks and have a good time!

After leaving the mess hall, he checked on the soldiers' quarters before returning to his own tent. As soon as he entered, he was stunned. The woman was sleeping soundly, and probably because the kang (

heated brick bed) was warm, her clothes had torn open, revealing a snow-white little rabbit peeking out from her Mongolian robe, peering at him. Her small, bright red nipples stood erect, incredibly alluring. Having served in the army for several years, hiding in this boundless grassland, he had never seen such a sensual scene before. He murmured ..." He swallowed hard several times, trying to turn away, but his legs wouldn't obey him; he tried to look away, but his neck wouldn't turn. He wasn't a saint, nor did he want to be one who remained unmoved by temptation. His legs moved uncontrollably toward the woman, and his hands moved involuntarily. In moments, he was completely naked, leaping onto the bed and grabbing the woman.

The woman let out a strange scream and began to struggle desperately. By this time, Ingrid couldn't stop. He braced his legs against her kicking legs and held down her struggling arms, tearing at her clothes with all his might. The woman screamed and struggled, but she couldn't withstand Ingrid's strength. In no time, she was stripped naked.

Under the lamplight, he looked at her high, firm breasts and slender waist... Her round, jade-like buttocks, that mysterious black triangle, that tender pink pubic hair barely visible beneath the soft pubic hair—his manhood involuntarily sprang to life. He hurriedly guided it, aiming it at that paradise, clumsily struggling for a while before finally thrusting into the woman's wet, soft body.

The woman mumbled curses, and fearing the soldiers would appear, he quickly covered her mouth with his own. She initially shook her head frantically, trying to avoid his mouth, but gradually stopped. She even slipped her small vulva into Ingrid's mouth, entwining it with his large tongue. Her two jade-like arms tightly embraced his large buttocks, helping him thrust harder, and she whimpered softly from her nose.

Perhaps it was the first taste of forbidden fruit, but Ingrid ejaculated five times on the woman, finally falling asleep on top of her, exhausted. He was drenched in sweat, his manhood still hard as iron inside him, yet they slept soundly through the night!

He didn't know how long he slept until a sharp pain in his buttocks jolted him awake. He opened his eyes to a blinding white light. He quickly closed his eyes again, and after a while, opened them again to see the woman straddling him, completely naked. Her large, white breasts swayed before him, her deep cleavage dazzlingly white. Her slender, pale waist and pink navel twitched and contracted, as if winking at him. His manhood instantly swelled, brimming with power, clearly yearning to charge back into the enemy camp and experience the exotic scenery! Just as his sweet dream ended, he heard the woman shout, "You lecherous scoundrel! You've broken my chastity of three years! Tell me, what am I supposed to do with you today? Cut this troublesome thing off, or..."

A sharp pain shot through his genitals, and he realized the woman had a pair of scissors stuck in his erect penis. She had tightened her grip slightly, and a thin line of blood had seeped out. Inger was startled and quickly said, "

No, no! That's related to your future happiness!"

The woman's face flushed red. "What does it have to do with me? You mean you want to marry me?"

"Of course! We kissed and slept together yesterday. Who else would I marry if not you? You said you've been waiting for three years, isn't your husband gone? You've lost your husband, and I haven't had a wife. Heaven has sent you to my bed. Aren't we a match made in heaven? Marry me, stay at our outpost, help me raise a pig, feed some chickens and ducks, and improve the soldiers' lives!" The woman shook her head: "

I'm from a good family too. Although I was married, my husband died three years ago, and I'm practically alone now. But I can't just blindly follow you like this, leaving me without any status or identity. If you want me to marry you, you have to promise me three things!"

Ingel hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, just say it! Don't say three things, I'll promise three hundred!"

The woman smiled and said, "Why so many pieces? Three are enough! We're talking about building a life together, not a business deal! I've said it before, first, you have to marry me properly, I want to be your legal wife. You can't look down on me just because I've been married before! Actually, I only spent three days with that man. The first day he was drunk and didn't touch me; the second day he was out drinking with his friends and wasn't home; the third day he finally slept with me, but before he could even finish, his mother sent him to chase after a runaway cow. Who knew he wouldn't come back? On the tenth day, his body was found in a bend of a small river, completely rotten. I became a widow! Tell me, am I a woman? If we're really talking about it, I should be a virgin. I haven't even had my 'thing' touched by a man, I haven't even had my 'ejaculation,' how can I be considered his wife?"

Inger hurriedly said, "Of course you're a virgin! You're so tight down there, it still makes me feel numb! How can you..." "A woman? I was a virgin when we had sex yesterday! I, Engel, will definitely treat you as my wife. You're my only wife, how could I not? We're husband and wife, bound by blood, to live and die together. You have to give me a whole bunch of sons, then we'll build a house here. After I retire from the army, we'll raise a huge flock of sheep and horses, herding sheep and horses with our sons, living a happy life!"

The woman chuckled: "You really dream! I haven't even married you yet, and you've already got a bunch of sons! Do you think I'm a pig? Listen carefully, my second condition is that we have to have a wedding today. I can't keep sleeping with you without any explanation! Otherwise, I'll have to leave. My home is hundreds of miles away, a round trip takes ten days to half a month, it's inconvenient! Stay here, we're husband and wife..." "We're husband and wife, but if your spouse isn't your spouse, everyone will laugh at you, and it'll be embarrassing for you, an official! There's no other way, we have to get married right away so we can live together, so the soldiers won't laugh at us, and so it's all legitimate!"

Inger immediately said happily, "That's easy! Let's have the wedding today! I'll make you a legitimate wife of a sergeant, so everyone will look up to you! Here, I'm the emperor, and you're the empress. This vast grassland is our territory. We'll build our kingdom into a grand garden, so you can live among flowers and birds every day!"

The woman giggled, her hand that had been holding the scissors leaving his manhood, and she used her other hand to gently knead his softening member, whispering, "You think you can sew something from a stick? What's so great about this remote place? I visited relatives in Irkutsk, and that's what you call luxurious! The houses there..." "Buildings are everywhere, cars are everywhere, and at night the lights illuminate the houses so bright you could see a pin drop. Isn't that much better than here? Listen to my third condition: from now on you have to listen to me. I'll stay here with you while you serve in the army. I'll raise pigs and sheep, and we'll save some money. When we're no longer in the army, we'll find a big place like Italy and open a small shop or something, so we won't have to suffer like this here!"

Inger quickly said, "No problem. From now on you'll be my wife. Who else should I listen to if not you? I'll have my deputy come to propose to you in a little while. I'll arrange the food and drinks, and we'll have the wedding this afternoon and go to the bridal chamber tonight! As for where we go and what we do in the future, it's up to you. You're my wife, you decide!"

The woman threw down the scissors, hugged him, and kissed him while crying. The kisses made his manhood hard again. He flipped over and pinned her down, and began to thrust wildly.

Ingel kept his word. The proposal, the wedding, the banquet—they drank until they were completely drunk—and the Russian army crossed the border while they were asleep.

When they woke up, it was the morning of the sixth day. Ingel's first discovery was that his wife was gone. His mind raced: "Did she run away? She told me such wonderful things, but when she arrived, she complained that this was just a vast grassland and ran away on her own? No way, she was so close to me, how could she run away?"

He searched for miles around, but couldn't find her anywhere! Instead, he found two soldiers fast asleep in the grassland and their warhorses grazing peacefully beside them.

Only then did he come to his senses: "That's not right. They're both heavy drinkers who can easily drink two or three jin without getting drunk. They were on patrol, ate beforehand, and didn't dare touch a drop of wine. Just before they set off, that woman offered each of them a small cup of wine. That little bit of wine shouldn't be enough to make them so drunk. Could there be something wrong with the wine?"

He quickly ran back to his tent, scooped some wine from the jar, and poured it into the pigs' pen. The pigs, which had been squealing wildly from hunger, became docile in no time, not even returning to their pens, but lying down by the trough and snoring.

He was stunned: "She drugged the wine while I was unconscious after my frenzy, but why would she do that?"

The answer came immediately: the soldiers who had just gone on patrol ran back, saying they had found tracks of a large cavalry and people ten li away!

He rushed there, stunned: "She came to scout ahead for the Russian army. Taking advantage of my post-madness sleep, she stole the key, opened the liquor cabinet, and drugged me; under the guise of our wedding, she subtly got everyone at the outpost drunk, allowing the Russian army to enter Chinese territory without alarm, achieving her goal of a surprise attack! Where is she going to attack? Making us drunk for five days, five days! We'll be almost at Beijing!" Thinking this, he broke out in a cold sweat: "Beijing? It could very well be Beijing! They're definitely going to attack Beijing! Then I'll be guilty beyond redemption!" He panicked. An urgent telegram was sent to the regimental headquarters! Regimental personnel arrived, inspected the scene, and confirmed a large number of troops had crossed the border. The phone was immediately dialed to Zuo Baogui, who personally inspected the site and immediately ordered the main force to assemble and pursue the enemy. He also urgently reported to Zhang Zhidong. Meanwhile, I had already flown to Beijing and begun emergency preparations.

Bai Xue said, "The platoon leader has been brought to Beijing and is imprisoned in our jail. Although General Zuo Baogui is not directly responsible, his lax discipline of the troops is undeniable. We are preparing to issue him a summons!"

Yekaterina hurriedly said, "General Zuo is a good man! Please don't punish him! If he hadn't dug his way into that house, ten of me would be dead! I beg you, Na'er!" "

I thought for a moment and said, 'That platoon leader's mistake was unintentional, and he reported it promptly afterward without concealing anything. He should be considered to have some awareness. I think he should be dismissed and the whole army should be notified. Guan Ting is indeed responsible, but he made a contribution in annihilating the enemy and saving Na'er. His merits and demerits cancel each other out, so let's also give him a reprimand in a general notice! Let everyone take this as a warning!'

Bai Xue thought for a moment and said, 'Actually, a huge sandstorm came the day after General Zuo inspected the site, and all traces there disappeared. If that platoon leader hadn't reported it, we really wouldn't have been able to find out how the enemy got in! I agree with Wansui's opinion!'" "

Valodin surrendered to the First Army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow that very day. The hundreds of thousands of exhausted soldiers drank some millet porridge on the spot, regaining some strength before finally standing up and, with the help of our soldiers, walking to our camp.

They slept for two days, allowing their bodies to recover gradually.

Catherine immediately reorganized the army into four corps, completely reshuffling the officers, assigning almost all the soldiers from her First Army to squads, platoons, and companies in the various corps, serving as squad, platoon, and company commanders.

In the Russian War..." After Shi recovered, she invited instructors from East Point Military Academy to the army to conduct ten days of military training, giving her army a basic structure.

Just then, Haibo's nearly 100,000 troops encountered the Russian Third Army Corps' 150,000 troops, and a fierce battle ensued near Yakutsk. I knew Haibo's troops were scattered across a vast area; to eliminate these 150,000 enemy troops, I had to reinforce them! I immediately ordered Zuo Baogui's troops and Sheng Yu's Beijing troops to cross the Mongolian border and advance northward.

Episode 5, Chapter 27: The Northward March

Perhaps things were progressing too smoothly, or perhaps they felt that Russia's main forces were focused on attacking Beijing, or more likely, it was to tie down the enemy. Whatever the reason, when Li Bingheng led 80,000 troops forward, they were surrounded by 190,000 Russian troops in the Taza region, between the upper Lena River and Lake Baikal. Nicholas II immediately went mad. He ordered the garrisons in Chita and Irkutsk to immediately redeploy most of their troops, forming another 100,000 to press on Li Bingheng's forces. Li Bingheng's troops were now fighting alone, while Hai Bo's troops were still entangled with the Russian army in Yakutsk and unable to break free. The Chinese troops were also far away, and Li Bingheng's situation was extremely perilous!

When I received the telegram, my first thought was to send Zuo Baogui's troops to provide support!

Shu'er stood in front of the map for a long time before finally saying, "Long live the Emperor! Reinforcements are too late. Now we can only rely on Minister Li's troops to break through their encirclement! Our main task now is to contain the two enemy reinforcements and prevent them from putting more pressure on Minister Li! So we should have Zuo Baogui's troops concentrate their forces to launch a surprise attack on Irkutsk, and order Sheng Bao's troops to concentrate their forces to launch a surprise attack on Chita!"

I immediately understood: "Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao!"

"Yes, besiege the city and launch a fierce attack, attack and break through the enemy's defenses, force the enemy to come to the rescue, eliminate the enemy outside the city, and relieve the pressure on Minister Li's troops! Send planes to bomb the enemy surrounding Minister Li's troops, so that Minister Li's troops can break through to the west!" Shu'er said.

I asked, puzzled, "Why send them to break out to the west? There are no of our troops there; wouldn't they easily fall into enemy encirclement?"

Shu'er smiled and said, "Warfare is based on deception! Right now, the enemy is definitely thinking the same thing as Your Majesty, so they will inevitably deploy heavy troops to the southeast and northeast to block Li's forces from approaching Haibo's forces and us. In this way, their western side will definitely be the weakest. If Li's forces break out, they can travel another 50 kilometers to the west to reach Daqinglinzi, a place with many mountains and dense forests. Tens of thousands of people going there will be like fish entering the sea, making it easy for them to hide. This will give them a chance to catch their breath and regroup." "This is a golden opportunity! We've already captured Irkutsk, so Zuo Baogui's army can advance northwards, quickly joining forces with Li Bingheng's troops to form a powerful force and block the enemy's westward escape! Meanwhile, Hai Bo's troops should have joined their reinforcements and dealt with the enemy in Yakutsk. I can order them to press southwest, and Sheng Bao's troops to advance from the northeast. This way, our four armies can engage the Russian army in another major battle near Krasnoyarsk, annihilating the enemy along the Yenisei River!" She drew a large ellipse around Krasnoyarsk.

Zhang Zhidong and I exchanged a smile and nodded.

That same day, Zuo Baogui's and Sheng Bao's troops crossed the Mongolian border, led by tank units, and rapidly advanced northwards.

Our army quickly built a makeshift airfield in Manzhouli in the northeast, and our air force bomber groups immediately transferred to the new airfield near the enemy's front lines, where they made all the necessary preparations to bomb the enemy.

Two Russian reinforcements, having traveled less than 200 kilometers from the city, immediately halted, hesitating whether to continue or return to reinforce their own city.

Zuo Baogui's troops, already seething with anger at letting the enemy into Beijing, received orders and charged towards Irkutsk like tigers unleashed from the mountains, quickly surrounding the city and launching a massive attack! The defenders suffered heavy losses, frantically sending telegrams to their outposts: "Come back quickly, or we'll be prisoners of the Chinese!"

Sheng Bao's troops, having surrounded Chita, launched a fierce assault, rapidly capturing the outer city walls and the northeastern part of the city, controlling the Chita railway station. This forced the Chita defenders to repeatedly call for reinforcements to return immediately, thwarting Nicholas II's plans to send reinforcements to annihilate Li Bingheng's forces.

Starting August 10th, our bombers began repeated bombing raids on the four sides surrounding Li Bingheng's troops. Although the bombing focused on all sides, it was consistently concentrated on the northeastern part of the encirclement, leading the Russian commander to believe that Li Bingheng's troops were moving towards Hai Bo's forces. Consequently, the Russian commander continuously redeployed troops northeastward, establishing three lines of defense there, determined to stop the Chinese army within the encirclement. At

4:00 AM on the 13th, after a fierce bombing raid by our bombers, Li Bingheng's troops suddenly launched a strong attack on the northwest enemy. Each soldier carried a bag of grenades, hurling them at the enemy, while others unleashed a barrage of light machine gun fire. This instantly tore a large gap in the enemy's encirclement, and 80,000 troops quickly retreated northwest. By that afternoon, the entire force had disappeared into the dense forests of Daqing.

The enemy commander realized they had been tricked and immediately launched a frantic pursuit, but the Chinese air force bombers intercepted them, relentlessly bombing them and making their advance impossible. By the time the bombers had finished their bombing raid, the Chinese army had vanished into the Daqing forest.

Upon hearing the news of Li Bingheng's troops breaking through the encirclement, Shu'er said to Zhang Zhidong, "Let's take care of those two cities; our new campaign should begin soon!"

Zhang Zhidong immediately issued the order to wipe out the enemy outside Chita and Irkutsk. Under artillery cover, our soldiers besieging the two cities launched a fierce attack on the enemy. In just one morning, tens of thousands of enemy troops in both cities were routed by our powerful offensive. By 8 PM, both cities had fallen silent.

Not a single shot had been fired in either city. The surrender leaflets from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, combined with the overwhelming power of our army, led the enemy to submit surrender documents and accept Catherine's reorganization.

On August 15th, the Beiyang Fleet returned to the Bohai Bay, and in just three days, it forced the surrender of all eight-nation fleets anchored in the bay! All foreign concessions in China were also recovered, removing our worries about the rear.

On August 18, 1900, Catherine the Great held a grand military parade in Irkutsk and announced the formal establishment of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, temporarily leasing Irkutsk to the Chinese government as its provisional capital. Catherine issued a series of proclamations, appointing Valodin as Prime Minister, issuing the Grand Duchy of Moscow's peasant land law and a decision on abolishing slavery, and also issuing a letter urging Russian military and political personnel to surrender. Li Hongzhang, the Premier of the Qing Dynasty of China, held secret talks with Catherine. Before the talks, the two jointly met with Chinese and foreign journalists. Li Hongzhang announced that the Chinese government was severing all diplomatic relations with Russia, withdrawing all personnel from the Chinese legation in St. Petersburg, recognizing the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and ensuring the integrity of its European territory! He also announced that Russian residents were welcome to permanently settle in China as a Chinese nation. Catherine announced the abrogation of all unequal treaties between Russia and China and respected China's ownership of the Asian territories currently occupied by Russia. China and Moscow decided to form a joint army to overthrow the reactionary rule of Nicholas II, restore the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and restore Chinese rule over their inherent territories!

Following secret talks, the Guangxu Emperor of China received Catherine the Great and, on behalf of the Chinese government, provided the Grand Duchy of Moscow with 100 million taels of silver in aid.

On August 20, 1900, the armies of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and China, totaling one million troops, launched a powerful offensive against the Russian army, breaking through Russia's second line of defense and rapidly advancing towards Krasnoyarsk, Kemerovo, and Almaty.

Nicholas II immediately mobilized a large force to establish a third line of defense and stationed heavy troops in the Angara River basin and around Lake Balkhash as mobile forces.

By August 25, under the powerful offensive of the Naval Forces and the Far Eastern Fleet, the Chukchi Peninsula, Kamchatka Peninsula, Kuril Islands, and Sakhalin Island had been liberated, and all territories east of the Lena River that had been seized by Russia had been taken control. After the newly established Bering Fleet, led by Fleet Commander Lin Taizeng and Deputy Commander Deng Shichang, seized the Aleutian Islands from the American forces, it established its naval headquarters in Vostok (called Uerlian Port in Russia), becoming China's northernmost fleet.

Upon receiving Lin Taizeng's telegram reporting the victory, I stared at the large map, my eyes fixed on the area across the Bering Strait, and a nagging thought crossed my mind: "Damn it, I can't let the Americans get away with that! I'm going to take Alaska for myself." Alaska, its name comes from the Inuit language, meaning 'greatland'. In 1728, the Dane Vitusbering, on behalf of the Russians, first discovered the Bering Strait. In 1741, the Aleutian Islands and Alaska were discovered and became Russian territory. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million, an average of one dollar per 20 hectares. Now, the Americans don't realize its value; they still say it's a huge burden. I have to hurry and get it, otherwise, in four years, it will start making money for the United States! I immediately instructed Zeng Jize to negotiate with the Americans. As one of the defeated nations in the Eight-Nation Alliance, we should agree to deduct ten million taels of silver from their reparations to buy Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. If they disagreed, since the state of war between the two countries was not over, we would take them by force!

Zeng Jize looked at me suspiciously: "Ten million taels of silver to buy that godforsaken place? Your Majesty, didn't we buy it from Russia for a mere few hundred thousand dollars? Aren't we losing out too much?"

I laughed: "That place is worth more than ten billion taels of silver. We can control that major passage and obtain rich treasures from it! However, you can only negotiate with the Americans like trading a camel for a donkey. You can say that our emperor made a vow to our ancestors when he offered sacrifices at the Temple of Heaven to reclaim all the Chinese territories occupied by Russia, which is why we want that wretched place! We didn't know such a wretched place existed back then. If we had known, we would have said more and negotiated for it. Now we have no choice but to bite the bullet and buy it!"

Zeng Jize laughed: "Is that place really as valuable as Your Majesty says? Then rest assured, Your Majesty, I guarantee I will bring it over!"

On September 1st, our 400,000-strong army, just as Shu'er had said, surrounded 200,000 Russian troops around Krasnoyarsk. After a fierce artillery barrage, our army swiftly captured the three key towns surrounding Krasnoyarsk: Kansk, Abenkan, and Achinsk, confining the enemy to a narrow area. Then, a representative of Catherine the Great attempted to persuade the besieged enemy to surrender. The persuasion initially failed; Nicholas II promised to send troops to their aid immediately, and the enemy inside the city, still hoping for reinforcements, refused the Queen's representative's offer.

Our army immediately launched a fierce assault on Krasnoyarsk. Within a single day and night, our forces had captured all the outskirts of the city, seized the Krasnoyarsk railway station and waterworks, and cut off the Yenisei River that flowed around the city, completely shutting down the city's water supply.

A city teeming with citizens and soldiers, now without water, immediately faced a severe crisis. Calls for surrender grew louder and louder, putting the Russian army commander in a difficult position.

Next, my Li Bin unit launched a fierce offensive in the Kemerovo area. Tank units quickly broke through the enemy's defenses, halting the troops preparing to aid Krasnoyarsk 300 kilometers away.

Hopes dashed, the Russian commander defending Krasnoyarsk had no choice but to raise the surrender flag, accept the terms of surrender from Catherine the Great's representatives, withdraw from the city, and accept reorganization.

Having dealt with nearly 200,000 enemy troops in Krasnoyarsk, the enemy forces in Kemerovo were immediately exposed. Our army pressed forward relentlessly, and on September 10th, it completely surrounded the 140,000 troops sent by Nicholas II, beginning a new battle of annihilation and forcing the enemy to raise the surrender flag on the 15th.

Simultaneously, my Li Bin unit had shattered the Russian defenses at Lake Balkhash, captured Astana, pushed the front line to the Ural River and the Caspian Sea, and posed a threat to Chelyabinsk.

Haibo's troops advanced rapidly across the Central Siberian Plateau, seemingly unopposed, reaching the west bank of the Ob River by September 16th, where they joined forces with Li Bin's troops to encircle Chelyabinsk.

Although it was only September, the front lines were already frozen solid. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang and Yan'er organized a large contingent of civilian laborers to transport warm clothing to the troops, sparing them from the cold and hunger. I knew that the harsh winter was fast approaching, and if we couldn't quickly resolve the battle, we would be unable to continue fighting, and all our previous efforts might be in vain! We had to push the front line to the Ural Mountains within half a month and secure a territory for the Grand Duchy of Moscow in Europe, ending its status as a government in exile.

After discussing with Zhang Zhidong, Shu'er, and Catherine, we decided to order Li Bin's troops and the 400,000-strong army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow to quickly cross the Ural River and advance westward to capture Tsaritsyn and Kiev; Haibo, Shengbao, and Zuo Baogui's troops were to advance rapidly towards the Ural Mountains.

Upon receiving the order, our army swiftly advanced. Nicholas II cooperated fully, withdrawing his defenses to the Ural Mountains, allowing the forces of Haibo, Shengbao, and Zuogui to quickly occupy the West Siberian Plain and complete their annual combat mission. They then rapidly transitioned to constructing fortifications and establishing defensive positions, laying the foundation for consolidating the captured territory.

However, Li Bin's forces and the 400,000-strong army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow encountered trouble at Tsaritsyn. Nicholas II concentrated 200,000 troops there, holding the city at all costs. Although the 400,000-strong army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow surrounded them, the defenders, taking advantage of the terrain, fiercely resisted, inflicting heavy losses on the Grand Duchy of Moscow's army. Fortunately, Li Bin's tank units arrived in time and launched a strong attack, breaking through the enemy's last line of defense on the sixth day and liberating the city. The army then rapidly advanced towards Odessa and Kiev, capturing Kiev on September 28th, Odessa on the 30th, and forcing the surrender of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on October 1st, thus ending the campaign.

I immediately ordered all units to focus on consolidating the positions, while simultaneously organizing small units to eliminate any remaining enemy forces and bandits.

Early October here brought a brief period of warm weather, with alternating chills and warmth. The soldiers took advantage of this to build fortifications, construct their dugouts, and store winter rations and vegetables. Fortunately, the area was rich in virgin forest, with plenty of fallen and rotten trees, allowing the soldiers to quickly prepare firewood for the winter. Furthermore, the soldiers in Haibo were mostly northerners with sufficient winter survival knowledge, so everything proceeded relatively smoothly. Li Bingheng inspected everything and said happily, "Thanks to Haibo's years of training his troops in the mountains, the soldiers have a very strong survival ability. Everything is ready!"

Catherine moved her temporary capital to Tsaritsyn. She now occupies the rich lands of Ukraine, Belarus, and the Volga River basin, with a land area approaching that of Nicholas II. Due to the gradual migration of some residents from the Asian part, her population has exceeded that of Nicholas II's controlled area. She also possesses an army of nearly 500,000 and several large Russian military factories. In particular, the occupation of Tsaritsyn and Odessa has given her two large artillery manufacturing plants and a shipbuilding plant, making her army superior to Nicholas II's in both numbers and equipment. Now, the Grand Duchy's Prime Minister, Valodin, is very confident. He has also led his army to seize Kursk, Samara, and Ufa, and built permanent fortifications there, essentially creating a north-south division between them and Russia.

On October 5th, I arrived at Tsaritsyn, the temporary capital of Catherine, with Zhang Zhidong, Li Bingheng, and Wang Songwei. Just as I sat down, a beautiful Russian woman called to me, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty Queen Catherine requests your presence to discuss important military and national affairs!"

I looked at everyone and had no choice but to stand up and say, "Please wait a moment, I'll go see what important matter the Queen has to discuss!"

I followed the little girl for a long time, through corridors and upstairs, until we finally arrived at a door. The girl said, "Your Majesty, please go in yourself. This is all I can do for you!"

I opened the door and went inside. The room was dark, with thick tapestries hanging from all the windows. Two large red candles were lit. Before I could see anything clearly, I was tightly embraced from behind. Two warm mounds of flesh pressed against my back. I touched them and knew it was my little Consort Na. She said, "Your Majesty, my wish has been fulfilled. Today, I must repay my vow!" (

Chapter 28, Volume 5: Falling in Love)

I slowly turned around and was immediately stunned. Catherine was now truly liberated. She was completely naked, her long, wet golden hair draped over her slender shoulders. She stood before me, her large eyes wide and beautiful.

Her skin was truly beautiful, the kind of fair with a rosy glow, smooth and delicate like jade. Her two semi-circular breasts stood proudly on the snow-covered plains, those pink gems shimmering on the snow-capped peaks. Her slender waist, like that of the narrowest part of the Kamchatka Peninsula, glowed with a soft, bluish light, and in the hazy light, one could almost see the ribs gently pulsating within. Her prominent, rounded buttocks were like a pure white jade ball, supported by two long, round, white marble pillars. A rift appeared in the middle of the ball, through which golden waves of wheat appeared and disappeared, and a pink river of love flowed in the hazy distance, its surface shimmering with iridescent light. I was captivated by the beautiful scene before me, gazing intently at the exquisite beauty of a woman emerging from her bath, sculpted by the Creator. This provoked my mischievous self to raise the banner of protest, eager to personally explore the boundless scenery before me, eager to personally cross that deep river of love!

Seeing my stunned expression, Catherine chuckled, "Your Majesty has a large retinue of wives, each a beauty rarely seen in the world. I often feel insecure, fearing Your Majesty might find my plain appearance lacking. Could it be that Your Majesty has seen something different in me today?"

I replied, "The world is full of flowers, some yellow, some green, some lush, some vibrant, each with its own unique charm and allure. How can one judge which is superior? My beloved consort has her own strengths, irreplaceable by anyone else. My love is not based on beauty or ugliness, but on a heart that loves me. However, everyone has a love for beauty, and how can I be immune to it? Therefore, seeing my beloved consort's extraordinary beauty..." "Beautiful! Even I am moved and stunned! I feel as if 'such beauty should only exist in heaven, when did it fall to earth?'"

Catherine laughed, "Your Majesty is comforting me with such kind words, but I am not immune to worldly desires either. I find them very pleasing. Come, let me help Your Majesty undress! Today is the day we will cross the river of love. I have waited for this day for several years, for thousands of days and nights! I don't know how I got through those long days. The unbearable pain of longing made me taste all the bitterness and sweetness of life!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob softly.

I stepped forward and gently embraced her: "Although I already have the love of all of you sisters, I cannot part with any of my beloved wives. When you were taken away by them, I was so desperate that I wanted to personally storm the enemy camp, but your sister Yan'er stopped me. She said that if Sister Na'er were here, she wouldn't let you risk your life, and besides, you wouldn't be able to save Sister Na'er anyway. She personally planned the battle to rescue you. It seems that I lose my composure whenever you sisters are in danger! I feel I have no superior qualities, yet I have received the devoted love of all of you sisters. I have no way to repay you, so I can only exchange my devotion for yours!"

Hearing this, Catherine stood on tiptoe and gently kissed me, saying, "It is your selfless love that has prevented us sisters from ever feeling jealous or vying for favor. This is probably why our family..." Isn't that one of the most distinctive features? Especially Sister Yan'er, her love for us is so meticulous. Sometimes I feel like she's not like a sister, but more like our mother. I told a few of my sisters, and we all felt the same way. Even Fei Hou said that she was like a parent to her! She said that no matter how crazy she is, one look from Sister Yan'er can make her behave! Na'er felt very fulfilled coming to this big family, so Na'er still said, Na'er doesn't want to be this king, Na'er only wants to be His Majesty's beloved concubine. Today Na'er gives herself to His Majesty, only wanting His Majesty to leave a child for her, so that Na'er can leave the child here like Sister Ying'er, so that Na'er can accompany His Majesty forever, until the end of time! As she spoke, her hands flew, unbuttoning my clothes and taking them off. In a moment, we were naked in front of each other.

We gazed at each other's bodies with mutual admiration, from bottom to top, until our eyes met, sparking a burst of passion. I opened my arms, and Catherine let out a soft moan as she nestled into my embrace. We held each other tightly, our bodies rubbing and intertwining, our temperatures rising, our passion growing wild and uncontrollable. My large hands had already roamed Catherine's entire body, now resting on her round, pert buttocks, gently kneading those perfectly firm yet supple breasts. Catherine, in turn, pressed and rubbed her breasts against my chest, her slender hands grasping my manhood, gently rubbing it against her vulva, letting out dreamy moans.

Her legs clamped tightly around my erection, her arms encircling my buttocks, pressing me deeper into her body. I could feel it; she was now burning with passion. I scooped her up and rushed to the large bed in the room—it was crazy! Luckily, her strong body had recovered, otherwise, she would have collapsed long ago after nearly two hours of my vigorous assault! Now, she not only wiggled her pert buttocks to meet my frenzy, but also wrapped her jade-like arms around my neck, kissing me desperately, murmuring, "So wonderful! So good! Na'er shouldn't have made a wish for something so wonderful! Making Na'er enjoy it for so long!"

We had already climaxed several times, but she was still asking for more. I smiled and patted her pert buttocks, saying, "Let's take a break. If you keep going crazy, you won't be able to accompany me to meet your ministers! I have to return to Beijing tomorrow. Those countries have basically accepted our conditions and want to negotiate with us!"

Upon hearing this, Catherine's eyes widened, staring blankly at me, not knowing what to say. Tears streamed down her face, and her little mouth pouted so much it could hang an oil bottle.

I put my arm around her and said, "Look at you, do you still look like a king? Why are you crying so easily? I haven't finished yet! I've decided to leave Li Bingheng here to help you oversee the country, and to leave Li Bingheng's 80,000 troops here to join forces with Haibo's 500,000 troops east of the Ural Mountains to form an encirclement of Nicholas II, in order to ensure the safety of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. You must come back to Beijing with me. Valodin will also go to Beijing with some ministers to study the issues of cooperation between the two countries and economic development. You must develop the economy of your occupied territories as soon as possible and improve the lives of the people. Only in this way can you consolidate your regime and lay the foundation for eliminating the Nicholas regime!"

Hearing what I said, she chuckled, "You gave me quite a fright. I need to spend a honeymoon with my husband before I can leave Your Majesty, and I need to make sure I'm pregnant with your child!" As she spoke, she sat up and began to dress me.

Seeing the bloodstains all over the bed, I said shyly, "I guess I can't change this habit of mine. When I go crazy, I don't care about anything. Look, all this blood. I don't know if you tore it

anywhere!" Ekaterina blushed and said, "Get up quickly, don't worry about it! Didn't I tell you before? I saved my virginity for you. You know I wasn't lying to you! No matter how much it hurts, you still have to come tonight. It's the rule. It's our wedding night, the day we'll spend our lovemaking together. You can't be lazy!"

I kissed her, held her in my arms, and discussed with her the list of people who would go to China with her. I considered that for some of the surrendered personnel, during the period when the regime was not very stable, they should not be allowed to interfere with the restoration work. These people would be sent to China to study and assess their loyalty. Catherine wholeheartedly agreed with my point of view. She said, "It's not that we don't trust them. Nicholas II still has some power, and they might waver. Once we eliminate Nicholas II, they'll be completely loyal to us! This arrangement actually saves them! To allow them to study in China with peace of mind, how about we allow them to bring their wives? You know, Russian men have very strong sexual desires. If you forbid them from such things, they'll be very resentful!"

I laughed: "Can they be stronger than me?"

Catherine replied. She laughed and playfully punched me: "Can they compare to His Majesty? They're just ordinary people, you're a god!"

I kissed her again and said, "So what if there are a few more mouths to feed? Sure, but you can't bring any servants, including yours. I won't have anyone to serve you!"

Catherine hit me again: "Who needs anyone to serve them? Aren't I serving His Majesty right now?"

I got dressed, jumped off the bed, put my arms around her neck, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Come here quickly, I'll send out a message for you to have your ministers come over. I'll be waiting for you at Andrevich's headquarters!"

Stepping out of the Prince's Mansion, a gust of cold wind swept over me, making me shiver. Looking at the sky, it was already dark. Before I knew it, we'd been having a wild time—time flies when you're having fun! Li Xianglin was already waiting for me outside with his men. Once in the car, I felt a bit tired and fell asleep as soon as I leaned back in my seat.

When I woke up, the car was already in front of the headquarters. Judging from Li Xianglin's expression, the car seemed to have been parked there for quite some time. I asked, "Has Consort Na arrived?" "

She arrived a while ago. She's talking with her ministers. She said His Majesty should rest for a while; he's been too stressed these past few days!" Li Xianglin said, clearly afraid I'd complain about him not waking me up, so he brought Consort Na out first.

I smiled and said, "Alright, a short nap will do. Come on, let's go inside."

Entering the headquarters, Zhang Zhidong and Li Bingheng were discussing something in front of a map. Seeing me enter, Zhang Zhidong quickly stood up and said, "We're worried that Russia will launch an offensive during the winter, and we're discussing how to thwart it!"

I smiled and said, "Good, you've grasped the key point. Historically, they've turned defeat into victory several times using winter offensives because their people are physically strong, and they often have the advantage of terrain and weather, allowing them to gain the upper hand! But as long as we have sufficient supplies and good winter clothing, we can completely negate their advantages." "Now we need to do two things: first, ensure adequate winter supplies, and second, prepare clothing for the harsh winter. For the first, you must expedite procurement. The areas you occupy are mostly former major grain-producing regions of Russia; as long as you do your work well, procurement shouldn't be too difficult. As for funding, I'll have my family send some immediately. I'm going back now to negotiate with a few Russian countries; I estimate the money won't be a problem! Secondly, we need to concentrate our efforts on both procurement and hunting to produce a large quantity of leather jackets and trousers, enough for each soldier to wear, solving the problem of keeping warm!"

Li Bingheng said, "Our troops captured quite a few leathers when they conquered various places. Commander Hai calculated..." "That's enough to make fur coats for 500,000 people! As for trousers, they'll only be able to be made into cotton-padded trousers!"

I said, "I'll go back and mobilize my family to think of a solution to the fur trouser problem. Immigrants from various places are gradually moving in, which is an important force for us to consolidate our position and develop the new area. Most of them are from the Central Plains and don't know how to keep warm in the north, or how to build heated walls and kang beds. Have Haibo send a group of knowledgeable people to help the people settle down! Also, our soldiers, don't have any more temporary ideas, because this is already our territory, our frontier, and we must be stationed here long-term! There are many Russian women here, and they are all willing to marry our soldiers." "I think we should let them boldly find wives and settle down here! There's plenty of land here, and lots of wasteland! You can carry on Haibo's style of reclaiming wasteland and cultivating land in Heilongjiang, cultivating land around the garrison and building a solid iron border defense."

Zhang Zhidong said, "Old Li, remember this. His Majesty has shown mercy and allowed your soldiers to marry on the battlefield. With more family members accompanying you, your reserves will also need to increase accordingly!"

I laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. Russian women are not like the pampered young ladies of our hometown. Their survival skills are unmatched by Russian men! I'm afraid that after they get married, they'll spoil our soldiers like pampered young ladies!"

Everyone laughed.

Catherine came over and said, "Your Majesty, our ministers are all waiting over there for Your Majesty to receive us!"

I took Catherine and Shu'er's hands and led Zhang Zhidong and Li Bingheng into the reception hall.

One-third of Catherine's staff were former retainers from her father's time as Grand Duke of Moscow; another third were mixed-race Chinese people transferred from my Haibo tribe; and the remaining third were generals and local officials who had surrendered at various times.

After I got to know them all, I said, "The Grand Duchy of Moscow is the country of my beloved wife Catherine. Like Korea, Ryukyu, Vietnam, and Burma, it is a member of the Great Chinese Empire and a friendly nation of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the consolidation, development, and construction of the Grand Duchy of Moscow are all within my consideration. Now, as the country has just been established and the war has just ended, everything needs to be restored. I hope everyone will unite sincerely, work hard, and strive to restore production, stabilize the people's hearts, and implement the series of policies researched and formulated by His Excellency Valodin, so as to build the Grand Duchy of Moscow into the strongest power in Europe!"

Amidst applause, I continued, "In order to accelerate the development of the Grand Duchy..." "Regarding development and construction, Queen Catherine and Prime Minister Valodin will lead a large number of ministers and engineering technicians to China to inspect and study projects for joint development, preparing to build the Volga River basin and the Ukrainian region into the Grand Duchy's agricultural and industrial base. To safeguard our fruits of victory, Queen Catherine and I have decided that during her absence, Li Bingheng will act as head of state, overseeing all work. I hope that everyone will work together under General Li Bingheng's leadership to quickly put the Grand Duchy's various undertakings on the right track."

After my announcement, Catherine emphasized that all ministers must obey the leadership of Acting Head of State Li during her absence. She then announced the list of ministers accompanying her on the visit to China, adding that due to the long duration, Her Majesty would specially permit everyone to bring their wives, with all expenses reimbursed by Her Majesty.

Hearing this, more than a dozen ministers applauded with joy. Only then did I realize that understanding the difficulties of subordinates is indeed a way to win people's hearts!

I immediately called Yan'er and asked Li Bingheng's wife and the wives of several generals who remained in the Grand Duchy of Moscow to come to Rostov on the plane that was picking us up.

Li Bingheng immediately got into character and arranged various tasks, while Shu'er, Na'er, and I walked out hand in hand.

As soon as we left the meeting room, Ekaterina put her arm around me and said, "Let's go to my place today, the three of us. I've heard that my husband's Three Cultivation Techniques are very powerful. Not only can practicing them make one younger and more beautiful and increase one's power, but they can also make one feel like they're in heaven. Na'er has been longing to try it for a long time. It's perfect that Sister Shu'er is here too, so we'll make a group and practice properly today!"

Her suggestion whetted Shu'er's appetite, and she immediately responded, "Let's go to the Queen's place, but we have to get some of the Grand Duchy of Moscow's specialties. Let's satisfy our appetites first, and then we can practice! Without good food and drink, it's hard to practice well!"

Ekaterina believed her and hurriedly said, "Then I really have to go back right away and have them prepare. These days, because it's a newly established country, we're keeping our food and lodging simple." " It's just about eating enough, nothing fancy. I originally thought that Your Majesty was a simple person and didn't need to prepare anything special, but after hearing what Sister Shu'er said, I really need to prepare something!"

I laughed and said, "Don't be so serious. It's just married life, plus some breathing exercises, nothing special. Shu'er just wants to treat you to a delicious meal!"

Ekaterina looked at Shu'er, who was secretly amused, and said with a smile, "Then we should prepare some good dishes. Shu'er has planned and traveled thousands of miles, I should at least treat you to a meal!"

Actually, Russia doesn't have many famous dishes, but Ekaterina's chef prepared an extremely rich and delicious dinner for us. I looked at it, and there were no special ingredients or things we couldn't usually eat. Ordinary things, made into extraordinary dishes, that's the skill of a master! This is similar to building a country. How to allocate various resources well, process them, and make the country take off rapidly, that's the mark of a master ruler!

Entering the bedroom, my two wives dragged me to the bed like they'd captured a prisoner. They went wild, shouting and yelling all night long, until dawn, when the three of us finally drifted off to sleep, embracing tightly. Back

in Beijing, my group of wives also didn't sleep a wink that night. They collectively talked all night with a representative of the Queen of England. The Queen's representative said, "Australia is available to you, but unfortunately, they're currently engaged in fierce fighting there. The natives are about to drive us back into the sea!"
