The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 330 Peasant Uprising
"Are you all crazy? We are all from the same tribe. I am your chieftain, your leader. You should listen to me. How can you doubt me?"

At this moment, a commoner spoke up.

"What evidence do you have to prove that what you're saying is true? Unless I can see how much grain you actually have stored in your granary, and if it's not enough to starve rats as you claim, then we'll believe you!"

When the chieftain of the tribe learned of this, his face turned extremely ugly. Those granaries contained grains that he had painstakingly accumulated, and they were all of good quality. How could he possibly give them to these people? His expression became very grim after he thought of this place.

"This is utter nonsense."

"This map of my tribe is my granary; how could I possibly show it to you?"

Who do you think you are?!

These words immediately enraged the people. They were now convinced that the matter was related to these chieftains. Similar incidents were occurring in these tribes, and some tribal leaders even considered rebellion. They reported the matter to the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming would take action for them.

As for the chieftain's suggestion that they abandon their farmland and hide in the mountains, they didn't believe there would be anything good about going to the mountains. They simply gave up their land. They figured it was better to settle down and cultivate the land, and maybe they could get more food in the future.

When these chieftains saw that their subordinates were starting to disobey them, their faces darkened. So they decided to make an example of them by killing a few typical cases from their own tribes, hoping to shut them up. However, to their surprise, this plan failed to stop them from talking.

After learning about this, the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, nodded with a smile.

Now these tribal leaders have become alienated from their people. This is true for most tribes, except for some tribes that usually do good deeds. These tribes were considered decent before, and although the people in these areas have some gossip, they haven't brought this matter to light.

Soon the Ming army arrived in these areas, directly suppressed these chieftains, liberated these people, and even killed these chieftains.

Most of the money was given to the local people, who were extremely excited to receive it.

The people benefited greatly. After the news spread, the chieftain tribes became even more turbulent, and many people even killed their own chieftains and asked to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

When Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping saw this scene, he was extremely curious. They had never been able to achieve such an easy result before when they wanted to change the local chieftain system to a more central one.

In particular, the chieftains of these tribes have been interfering all along.

So although they invested a lot, they still didn't achieve much. But this time it was different. In addition to being able to settle these people, the remaining money was enough for them to use. The amount that these chieftains had exploited over the generations was not small. Even they were shocked when they saw it.

The remaining tribal leaders gathered together, their faces grim. At first, they hadn't taken Zhu Xiong Ying seriously, thinking he was just a child.

Moreover, the problems in the southwest have remained unresolved for so many years, and a mere child certainly couldn't solve them. However, what they didn't expect was that this person had just arrived in their southwest and had already pulled such a stunt. How many of the local chieftains in the world are clean? Apart from a few who could be kept in check or who had treated the people relatively well before, almost all the others had run into trouble. Now that they were gathered together, their faces were extremely grim, and the leader said angrily.

"I told you all long ago not to underestimate the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, but you wouldn't listen. Now that we've suffered such heavy losses, what do you think we should do?"

The group frowned, exchanging uneasy glances, unsure of what to do. Then one of them sighed. "I never expected this to happen. It was a complete miscalculation. I hope you can lead us out of this predicament!"

The others nodded in agreement after hearing this.

At this moment, the leader sighed and said...

"Now, I'm probably left with only two paths. The first is to submit to the Ming Dynasty and cooperate with their current actions. Our relationship with the Ming Dynasty is still quite good, so cooperating with their actions will still be beneficial to our future!"

The crowd's faces darkened upon hearing this. They had worked so hard to build their business, and they didn't want it to be wiped out at this moment. Their eyes were filled with resentment.

"Is this the only way? Are there any other options?"

The leader nodded.

"Another way is to rely on external forces. The Ming Dynasty is very powerful now. Although many of our tribes are rebelling against the Ming Dynasty, none of them dare to really attack the Ming army. They just stay in their own tribes!"

"There's no point in allying with them, so I plan to form an alliance with King Liang and the Zhalawami!"

“King Liang Bazalawarmi has also rebelled against the Ming Dynasty before. Although he was no match for the Ming Dynasty, he still had some strength. As long as we can bring King Liang Bazalawarmi in!”

"With his combined strength and that of the allied nations, we will surely be able to defeat the Ming army, which will bring us considerable benefits!"

These people all nodded after hearing this. Especially since King Liang Bazalawarmi had united many countries during this period, his power was definitely not weak. After thinking about this, they directly sent envoys to find King Liang Bazalawarmi. However, he was unaware of this.

All of these people's actions were under Zhu Xiong Ying's surveillance, while Xi Ping Hou Mu Ying frowned deeply.

"It's inevitable that we'll clash with these chieftains sooner or later!"

"But if King Liang gets involved with Zhalawami at this time, it will be troublesome. I heard that King Liang has increased the power under Zhalawami's control quite a bit!"

"This guy isn't particularly difficult to deal with on his own, but now that he has this much strength, he's getting cocky. We have to be careful!"

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled.

"I'm not afraid of their attack; what I'm afraid of is them making no move at all. If they don't make any move, I'm afraid I won't have any reason to deal with them!"
