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

Chapter 339 Qualifications for Negotiation

Who could have imagined that the heavy rain would actually come, but it didn't change the course of the battle?

Who could have imagined that the Ming Dynasty would undergo such a dramatic change?

Even their firearms were unaffected by the weather.

At this moment, King Liang looked at his advisors with a grim expression.

"Sir, do you think we still have a chance to escape from this place?"

Upon hearing this, the staff member wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know how to say them, and in the end, he could only sigh heavily.

He was perfectly aware of this outcome, and upon thinking about it, he burst into laughter.

"I never imagined that I, King Liang, who was so wise and illustrious throughout my life, would end up like this in my later years!"

"I thought that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a hero, and that I might not be any worse than him, but now I can't even beat his grandson!"

"How can I still have the face to call myself a hero!"

The aide was extremely anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly said...

"Your Highness, please don't do this!"

"There might be other changes. The situation on the battlefield can change in an instant. Who can predict what will happen next? Maybe the chieftains will come to our aid soon, and then we will still have a chance."

Upon hearing this, King Liang, unusually, became sober and shook his head, saying...

"Zhu Xiong Ying is fully aware of our movements. Do you think he will send people to deal with those chieftains?"

"Those laughable chieftains think they are powerful, but they have no idea how much weaker they are compared to the Ming Dynasty. I don't think even if they were given another ten years, they would still be unable to catch up with the Ming Dynasty!"

After thinking of this place, he remembered the idea of ​​seeking peace, so he told his staff about it.

Upon hearing this, the aide hesitated and struggled. Compared to his previous high and mighty position, he did not want to surrender so easily. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said...

"Your Highness, we haven't reached that point yet, we still have a chance!"

However, at this moment, the aide shook his head.

"I don't care about opportunities anymore, I just want to get my brothers out of this place!"

"Especially the last batch of troops that went into battle, they were my old brothers. I had already promised them that they would serve as my personal guards and that I would not let them go to the battlefield again!"

"Who would have thought that this time I would have to risk their lives to save me from defeat? I am truly incompetent!"

"Do you know that in such a short period of time, they have already lost more than two hundred men? Moreover, the Ming Dynasty did not continue to pursue their victory at the critical moment, but instead retreated. This was to preserve our lives. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid the last pair of brothers in my hands would also be dead!"

The advisor wanted to say something more, but in the end he just sighed deeply. At this moment, he looked at King Liang, Bazalawarmi, with a complicated expression.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do everything in my power to seize the best opportunity. I believe that since the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying of the Ming Dynasty has not wiped us out, there should still be a chance!" At this moment, the usually extremely proud Prince Liang bowed to his advisor, Zalawaermi, which was quite rare for him.

"The safety of all my soldiers depends on you, sir. Please lend us a hand!"

Not long after, this advisor arrived at the Ming army camp.

Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping and Marquis Wang Bi of Dingyuan were extremely shocked when they heard this.

This was exactly what Zhu Xiong Ying had thought, and they looked at him in great surprise.

"Your Highness, do you possess the ability to divine the future, like Mr. Liu Bowen, who even foresaw this detail!"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook her head.

"I have no skills in divination or fortune-telling. The reason I was able to guess this is because after this battle, King Liang has completely crushed Zalawami's morale. Therefore, he will definitely not escalate the battle further. Surrender is his best option now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. At this moment, Marquis Dingyuan, Wang Bi, asked in confusion.

"So, what should we do with this King Liang, Bazalawami? Should we just send him back?"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head after hearing this.

"How could that be? Many people have defeated them. If we release him now, are we going to let him raise another army to fight against our Great Ming? But he has been causing trouble in the south for long enough. We absolutely cannot let him become a burden on our Great Ming. So no matter what, I must remove this cancer and open up the road for our Great Ming to advance south!"

"My two marquises, you must understand that your goal has never been just the King of Liang, but the entire southern China. As long as you can wipe out the southern kingdoms, you too can become dukes, or even kings!"

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed immediately, especially Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping.

"Your Highness, you flatter me with such words. I am already very satisfied with my position. How could I possibly be granted land and a title? My mother has always been a member of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. She swore to give her all for the Zhu family and would never establish her own power!"

Marquis Wang Bi of Dingyuan nodded in agreement. There are many people who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, including even Duke Xu Da of Wei.

Even so, no non-royal prince was ever granted a title in the entire court. Perhaps a title could be posthumously conferred, but it was absolutely impossible to confer a title upon a non-royal prince, let alone one with real power.

They even speculated that the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying was using this opportunity to test them.

Grandson Zhu Xiong Ying looked at the two men and knew what they were thinking. He then burst into laughter.

"I know what you two generals are thinking, and I know your loyalty. Rest assured, this is absolutely not a test for you two generals; this is my true feeling!"

"The two generals should be very clear that the Ming Dynasty now has a lot of land. In the Northeast, we have not only defeated those grassland tribes, but also destroyed the Goryeo Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom!"

"The northern grasslands are also within our control!"

"And to our west lies the Timurid Empire, as well as a country located in the ancient Indian region to the southwest!"

"Inevitably, there are many countries that speak different languages, yet their lands contain vast amounts of wealth. It would be a real pity to leave it in their hands!"
