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

Chapter 341 The King of Liang Surrenders
"Yes, General Andas is right. We don't need to play along with the Ming army. They won't last long anyway!"

However, at that moment, the aide sighed and said...

"Zhu Xiong Ying said he's giving us some time to consider, only three days. Now their second batch of shells has arrived. If we don't agree, he'll just have his men use the shells to raze our city to the ground!"

"When I came back, I saw many carriages coming straight to this place, so what he said must be true!"

Upon hearing this, the generals felt a chill run down their spines. They were certainly fearless in battle, as the chances of survival were quite high. However, if this batch of cannons from the Ming Dynasty arrived...

They had no chance to resist at all, and their only fate was death. At this moment, the generals who were shouting just now fell silent. Things had developed to this point, and they really had no chance.

At this moment, King Liang, Bazalawami, also knew what the outcome would be. His expression was somewhat grim, but he still looked at the generals in front of him and spoke.

"You have all followed me for more than just a day or two. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you have certainly worked hard!"

"I will absolutely not let you down. Please rest assured, I will never abandon my brothers for my own freedom. At worst, I will just go and keep Kökö Temür and the others company!"

The arrivals were all shocked to hear this. They never expected that King Liang would say such a thing.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with bitterness; no one had expected such a thing to happen.

Three days passed quickly, and Zhu Xiong Ying and his men, with enough artillery, had completely surrounded the area.

At this moment, Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Your Highness, shall we fight?"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head after hearing this.

"It's not the right time yet. Let's wait and see. I believe they will make the right decision!"

Not long after, the city gate slowly opened, and King Liang led Zalawaermi and his soldiers out.

Having gone without food for so long, and having just fought a battle, many of the soldiers were completely exhausted. They were now helping each other out, looking extremely miserable.

At this moment, Yama looked at his grandson Zhu Xiong Ying with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Great Ming, I, Zalawaermi, am willing to lead my men to submit to the Great Ming. You may kill or torture me as you please, but I hope you can release my soldiers!"

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and said after hearing this.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans for how to deal with your men, but I will never kill them all. As for you, you will go back with my men and from now on you will be accompanied by Kökö Temür, Togus Temür, and Nairbuqa. Oh, I almost forgot about the Emperor of Japan and the King of Goryeo!"

Upon hearing this, Bazalawami gave a bitter laugh. Although he already knew about these things, hearing them again was still terrifying. He never imagined that Zhu Xiong Ying had developed such formidable power in such a short time, and now all these people had been wiped out by him.

After thinking about this place, he sighed and looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in front of him with a complicated expression.

"With these people as companions, I'm not at a loss!" Soon, all these people were taken away. If we want to develop the southwest region, we will naturally need a lot of people. Some of these people can be absorbed into the army, while others can be used for other purposes.

They used their labor to mine the mineral deposits in the southwest.

At this time, Yu Huatian also began to take action against the chieftains in the southwest.

Originally, the chieftains in the southwest wanted to delay their attack on the Ming Dynasty until all of Zhu Xiong Ying's troops were drawn there. However, for some reason, Zhu Xiong Ying's army remained inactive.

They were very curious about what had happened, and when they investigated again after a long time, they found that the camps were no longer inhabited.

The Marquis of Xiping, Mu Ying, the Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, and even Zhu Xiong Ying who appeared earlier were all imposters.

Upon learning this news, the chieftains looked extremely grim; they never expected such a situation to arise.

Just as they were about to make their move, a force suddenly attacked. It turned out that local armies from various places had been mobilized and had completely surrounded all the roads.

These chieftains were very powerful, but they also had a very troublesome problem: they were basically small tribes.

Their forces were not particularly strong, and at this time, the Ming army directly blocked all roads, so these people could only roam around in their own little plot of land and could not go out at all compared to their military strength.

The army of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest was not a small number either.

Seeing that they had no way to unite, let alone rebel, the chieftains gritted their teeth in hatred. At this moment, one of them spoke angrily.

"Don't panic, everyone. We're only making things worse for ourselves." "I have another idea: let's escape to the nearby forest!"

"Even if those people from the Ming Dynasty have incredible abilities, they can't possibly capture us all in this forest!"

Some people nodded after hearing this, but just as they were about to enter the forest, they discovered that there was another army in the forest.

Upon closer inspection, these turned out to be the same Tusi (chieftains) who had previously submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and they were also Tusi from this southwestern region.

Their skills in the forest were not much different, and those who had been taken over by the Ming Dynasty were naturally more determined to fight in order to protect their land. It was unbelievable to these chieftains that they had suffered some losses at their own doorstep.

At this moment, several powerful chieftain tribes led their troops in a chaotic rampage, attempting to gather together.

Some chieftains who had already gathered together were discussing matters.

"This can't go on forever. We have no idea how long the Ming army has been gone. If they really defeat Prince Liang, Zhalawami, our fate will be dire!"

"Therefore, we must make some noise in this place to attract the attention of these Ming troops!"
