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

Chapter 544 The Rebels' Long Journey

"Don't worry, we have people in our family who are in the navy. Although they can't control the navy's warships, they know the navy's movements and schedules. They won't be at sea during this period!"

"These warships are all temporarily requisitioned from Jiangnan. Gathering so many ships together in order not to arouse suspicion is no easy task!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, realizing that it was indeed not easy.

It took such a huge effort to accomplish this.

It seemed that their chances of success this time were very high, and the group was very excited.

We used to take the Ming army lightly. If it weren't for the Ming's firearms and developed naval power, they wouldn't be in this situation now. Finally, we've returned to the feeling we had before.

At this moment, the powerful families were extremely pleased as they stared intently at the allied forces of various ethnic groups before them.

With the existence of these people.

Their plan has a very high chance of success.

Regardless of the dynasty in the Central Plains, as long as it can guarantee the interests of their powerful clans, it's acceptable.

Even a century-old dynasty cannot compare to a thousand-year-old aristocratic family. Thinking of this, he was extremely happy. Perhaps through this achievement, they could also rise to the top and become the largest family in the world.

After all, these barbarians have no idea how to govern the world; when it comes to governing the world, it has to be left to them.

At this moment, the tribal chiefs frowned and looked at what was in front of them.

The man said.

"I heard that you have already mastered those firearms. If we didn't have enough firearms, we might not have taken action. After all, the Ming Dynasty is very powerful. Without those things, we really don't have the confidence!"

Upon hearing this, the member of the powerful family said smugly.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of firearms in that warehouse, enough for everyone to use. More importantly, the warehouse is guarded by our own people. With those things, our strength will definitely increase greatly!"

Everyone nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, as the Central Plains was the most prosperous region in the world.

Especially after this period of governance, the Ming Dynasty was no longer as poor as before. The development of commerce made the entire Ming Dynasty extremely wealthy.

As long as they can reach their capital, Yingtianfu, they will inherit extremely substantial capital.

Normally, traveling by boat from the north at a normal speed would have taken only a short time to reach Yingtianfu. However, due to their need to evade the Ming Dynasty's navy, their journey was extremely slow. Furthermore, the ships they had gathered were not ocean-going vessels but small boats on the Yangtze River, resulting in many being capsized along the way, which greatly frustrated them.

The tribal alliance leader looked extremely grim. At this moment, a member of a powerful clan spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the imperial court provides the ships, and it's really difficult for us to find such large vessels!"

"So we can only use these kinds of ships, but don't worry, this sacrifice is worthwhile. It won't be long before we're able to reach Ming territory, and then we'll definitely get much more!"

Upon hearing this, the tribal alliance leader could only swallow his anger. There was no turning back now; things had already come to this point. With that thought, he sighed deeply. When the army finally reached the shore, everyone was filled with excitement.

They vomited for an unknown amount of time on the boat. Using their previous experience on the Yangtze River as a basis for facing the sea was clearly a mistake.

Moreover, many of them were cavalrymen from the grasslands who were skilled at riding horses, but they couldn't handle boat travel. As a result, many of them fainted on the ground. Fortunately, the final result was not bad, and they finally arrived in Jiangnan.

Upon arriving in Jiangnan, the head of the Yada clan breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally reached this place; if they hadn't arrived, no one knew what would have happened next.

"Don't worry, everyone. We've stored our weapons in the town closest to the sea. There aren't many people left there, and we've also prepared plenty of food and water. You can rest and recuperate there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited and immediately went to that seaside town.

This town had already been controlled by powerful clans. When their army arrived in the vicinity, they indeed found a lot of food and fresh water, and more importantly, they found the firearms they needed.

Looking at the muskets in front of them, they were very satisfied.

"The reason why the Ming army was able to defeat us was because of these things. Now that we have these things too, they no longer have an advantage. Next, we can once again invade the Central Plains!"

These people were all very excited.

The powerful families had made very thorough preparations here, and everyone in the town slept soundly that night.

While the tribal alliance leader was sleeping, he suddenly heard a series of arguments outside, which made him very annoyed.

He couldn't get a good night's sleep at sea, but now he could finally get some. What were these guys making all that noise for? With that thought, he stepped forward and said.

"This is outrageous! Don't you know I'm still here? What's there to argue about? If you keep arguing, I'll throw you all into the sea to feed the fish!"

The general standing to the side looked completely innocent upon hearing this.

"Chief, this matter is really not our fault. It's not us, but the Ming army. Our place is now surrounded by the Ming army!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with disbelief, even the leader of the tribal alliance.

"What did you say? This is impossible! How could the discipline of the Ming Dynasty possibly exist in this place!"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked outside and sure enough, a large number of Ming Dynasty troops had gathered on the outskirts of the town.

His face was extremely grim. He had just arrived at this place when the Ming army had already followed, which meant that they had received advance notice. He looked at the liaison of the powerful clans beside him and said...

"Are you deliberately colluding with the Ming Dynasty to harm us? Why are Ming troops here?!"

The members of these powerful families were also very frustrated. Everything had been planned perfectly, so how could such a problem have occurred?

"Chief, please don't be anxious. We absolutely did not have such intentions. As for why the Ming army appeared in this place, we are not entirely sure either!"
