May 19th, 1796, 9 am, east of Mosk.
The Chief of Staff of the Imperial Guards of the Russian Empire, General Mirolaf, led the besieged soldiers to surrender to Grand Duke Michael.
There were more than 400,000 soldiers of the Imperial Guards and the army who were surrounded.
These people lined up and handed over their weapons before entering the camp.
Although the number of captives was even greater than the number of soldiers in General Michael's army. However, they had already been scared out of their wits in the battle and had already lost their fighting spirit.
Now that they could surrender and save their lives, many people were already very satisfied.
Compared to the soldiers who were killed on the battlefield, they were already considered lucky.
"Your Grace, thank you for your forgiveness. I swear to God that from now on, I will be loyal to you. Even if he had to give up his life, he would not hesitate!”Admiral Mirolaf looked extremely grateful.
"General, I'm very satisfied that you're able to return from the wrong path. After all, according to the Law of the Succession of the Imperial Throne, after the death of His Majesty Nicholas II, I am the first in line to inherit the throne. For his own benefit, Grand Duke Nicholas did not hesitate to violate the Law of Imperial Succession and instigated a war to kill me. And all of you have been deceived by Grand Duke Nicholas. Your sins can all be forgiven! However, you will have to stay in the prisoner of war camp for the time being and be released after everything is settled!”said Grand Duke Michael.
Of course, he wouldn't believe Admiral Mirolav's loyalty so easily.
In his eyes, General Mirolaf was just a fence-sitter.
Of course, as long as he inherited the throne and ascended to the throne of the Tsar, Admiral Miloraf would most likely be loyal to him.
Admiral Mirolaf nodded repeatedly to show his understanding.
After all, the war had not really ended. Although Grand Duke Nicholas had been defeated, he had not been captured. No one knew if he would still resist.
Among the many captured soldiers, there were also Grand Duke Nicholas 'men.
If they were released now, who knew if they would join Grand Duke Nicholas 'army again and become enemies with Grand Duke Michael?
It would be safest to release them after defeating Grand Duke Nicholas.
The Battle of Mosk ended with Grand Duke Michael's victory.
Accompanied by a group of generals, Grand Duke Michael entered Mosk and entered the Ke Palace.
This was the imperial palace of the Russian Empire.
Even after the capital of the Russian Empire moved from Moscow to Petersburg, it was still one of the important palaces of the tsar.
Now, Grand Duke Michael had directly entered the Ke Palace, and the meaning behind it was naturally obvious.
Grand Duke Michael had also decided that after he became the Tsar, he would use Mosk as the capital instead of Petersburg.
Petersburg was located on the banks of the Nava River, bordering the Baltic Sea. Although the transportation was convenient, it was far from the hinterland of the Russian Empire. At the same time, there was a huge problem with defense.
In contrast, Mosk, which was located in the hinterland, was the best location for the capital.
In another time and space, after the Bolsheviks took over the world, didn't they also move their capital from Petersburg to Mosque?
"Your Excellency, we have already wiped out the main forces of Grand Duke Nicholas in this battle. We are already certain to win this battle!”Lieutenant General Brushilov's face was full of smiles.
"Yes!" Grand Duke Michael nodded repeatedly. Although the war was not over yet. However, we have already won this battle. Everything was settled. Now, it was up to Petersburg to decide!”
"Your Excellency, it's a pity that we weren't able to capture Grand Duke Nicholas in this battle and let him escape. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome!”Major General Vasily, the intelligence chief, felt a little regretful.
Grand Duke Michael also agreed, even though Grand Duke Nicholas was his uncle. However, the existence of such an ambitious uncle was undoubtedly a huge unstable factor.
For the stability and strength of the Russian Empire, it was best for him to meet God.
However, if he did not get rid of him on the battlefield, it would not be so easy to kill Archduke Nicholas.
Fortunately, Grand Duke Michael had already won a decisive victory on the battlefield.
Everything was no longer a big problem.
"There's nothing to regret, unless he leaves the empire. Otherwise, he would only be dead. Even if he goes into exile overseas, he will lose the opportunity to return to the country in this lifetime, and it will not affect us!”said Grand Duke Michael.
History had always been written by the victors. Once he succeeded the throne, he would become the new Tsar. Then, this civil war could naturally be determined.
In fact, all the accusations and suspicions against him would vanish into thin air.
On the other hand, the losers would bear the responsibility of starting a civil war and become traitors of the Imperium. They would be condemned by thousands of people and go down in history!
