Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

"Well, I'm not leaving."

King Liang responded sullenly.

Hearing what Prince Liang said, Princess Liang's hand, which was pressing on Prince Liang's forehead, paused.

After a while, she continued to massage him.

But at this time, the voice of King Liang was heard again.

He sighed and said, "I really don't want to leave. I really want to stay here forever and live and die with the southwest.

But...but I really can’t beat him!
It’s time to go. ”

When King Liang said these words, his voice was very low, with endless melancholy, which made people feel how heavy his heart was when he said these words.

After hearing what he said, Princess Liang's fingers became flexible again, just like her relieved heart.

In fact, her thoughts are the same as those of many people.

They all felt that under the circumstances, they really shouldn't fight to the death here, and they needed to leave quickly and go to the grassland to meet up with the court.

Although after joining forces with the imperial court, their lives were definitely not as good as they are now.

Although after joining forces with the imperial court, they will no longer be as free as they are now.

The power will also be greatly reduced.

There will be a new emperor above your head, and when you get there, you need to be humble and modest.

But overall, given the current situation, it is still okay.

After all, they have no other choice here.

The Ming army was so powerful that we could not defeat them at all.

Staying here will lead to death and losing everything.

At this time, after hearing what her husband said, Princess Liang suddenly understood why her husband had said those words before.

My husband, just as I thought before, said those words, but he didn't really mean to stay here.

We really have to live and die together with Southwest China.

It is to shut up many people and stabilize the situation.

And then run away quietly.

Otherwise, in the current situation, my husband would have directly announced the news of giving up the southwest in front of so many people under such circumstances.

It will definitely make people in the southwest more panic-stricken.

At the same time, the situation in the southwest will become a complete disaster.

It will get out of control in an instant.

Once the situation gets out of control, it will be a disaster for them.

Many things are difficult to do.

It would be better to say something like this first to calm people's hearts and save the southwest.

Then they quickly made some arrangements in secret and left from the southwest.

This will make things much easier
Although she felt that there would definitely be some people who did not believe what her husband said.

However, there will always be some stupid people who will believe it.

As long as some people believe in it, the situation will not become a mess.

Then it is a good deal for my husband.

This is the husband I know!
I just said that my husband is not a particularly strong-willed person.

How is it possible that we will really live and die together with the Southwest?
Making such a choice is what my husband would do!
That night, King Liang wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep after trying for a long time.

So I just didn't sleep.

At midnight, he summoned some of his trusted people and asked them to make many arrangements.

Let them pack up their gold, silver, valuables and other necessary items and prepare to run away.

In addition to these, he also called over people like Zuo Cheng Dade and You Cheng Lu'er.

I secretly told them various things.

And keep them as confidential as possible.

After hearing what the emperor said to them, Dade and Luer were not surprised at all.

They glanced at each other inconspicuously, and saw from each other's eyes that it was indeed the case.

It is said that long before, after hearing what King Liang said and the decision he made, they were quite shocked.

But after all, he has followed King Liang for a long time.

I reacted quickly and had a rough guess in my mind.

I think this is just a delaying tactic by King Liang to confuse people.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

The worries they had been carrying around were finally put at ease.

So, he quickly made many promises to King Liang.
He didn't even sleep and made many arrangements for his escape overnight.

Before this, they were not active when asked to discuss and make some strategies to deal with the Ming army.

Find it very tricky.

But at this time, when they were asked to run away, each one was more skilled than the other.

……

"What?! Mu Ying has already breached Baishi River?! And is advancing rapidly towards Kunming?!"

After hearing such news, Lan Yu was shocked. His face quickly turned gloomy and he felt very unhappy.

By the way, he and Mu Ying didn't get along well.

There were some minor conflicts at first.

The main reason was that the soldiers under his command had committed some crimes. In order to enforce strict military discipline, Mu Ying executed the generals whom he had personally protected by military law.

Ever since this incident, Lan Yu became resentful of Mu Ying.

He was very critical of Mu Ying and could not find anything to like him.

This time when attacking the southwest, he and Mu Ying led their own troops respectively. Naturally, he wanted to have a good competition with Mu Ying.

Who would have thought that Mu Ying has made such great progress.

How could he feel happy about this?
Therefore, after receiving this news, he also made some decisions quickly.

We must advance as quickly as possible and capture King Liang!

Although Mu Ying won the first place this time, the real winner was not here.

It depends on who takes Kunming first and who can capture King Liang.

Whoever achieves these will make the greatest contribution in this battle in the southwest!
At almost the same time, Fu Youde also received the same news.

After receiving this news, he couldn't help but sigh that the younger generation is truly formidable.

Mu Ying is indeed different from others as he is favored by his superiors.

After this group of people are gone, the only ones who can take on the leading responsibilities in the army will be Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

Of course, some competitive spirit also arose in his heart.

Although he was the commander-in-chief of the attack on the southwest, Mu Ying won the battle this time, he can still get some credit here.

But how could it be more satisfying to get credit for Mu Ying's victory than to win the battle himself and gain the credit?
Therefore, he subsequently sped up the march.

Heading towards Kunming at a faster speed.

The Ming army's combat effectiveness was already very impressive.

In the southwest, the situation is almost one-sided.

At this time, Lan Yu and Fu Youde were fighting desperately.

The situation became increasingly one-sided.

It was truly invincible and unstoppable!

Among the three armies, Mu Ying's army was the fastest. After all, Mu Ying's army broke through the Baishijiang defense line from the front.

The biggest enemies he faced in this direction were the numerous enemies stationed on the Baishi River side.

After breaking through the defense line on the Baishijiang side, there won’t be too many obstacles when heading towards Kunming from here.

That really means overcoming all obstacles and making rapid progress.

Mu Ying naturally knew that speed was of the essence in war.

The best way to prevent King Liang from having to catch his breath is to take this place down in one fell swoop.

The faster the battle here is resolved, the more beneficial it will be for them.

As long as they can capture King Liang as quickly as possible, they will suffer less adverse effects in the future.

Otherwise, if the war drags on for a long time, it will be really disadvantageous to them.

The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, making the roads rugged and difficult to travel on.

The supply of food and fodder is a big problem.

In addition, King Liang has been doing business in the southwest for many years.

It still has considerable prestige.

If the war situation becomes stalemate, it is likely that many people in the southwest will begin to feel uneasy.

Some people who are used to observing the situation may very likely think that the Ming Dynasty is not capable of doing anything and will side with King Liang.

If this were to happen, it would be the worst possible situation for the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, we will have to pay a lot more price to solve this problem.

Therefore, the best solution now is not to give these people any time to react.

Capture King Liang and Kunming as quickly as possible.

As long as these are done, the situation here will become particularly stable.

Faced with this situation, King Liang had already packed up his things and fled with his men.

People in the southwest are already in a state of unrest and anxiety.

At this time, the news came out that King Liang, who had previously vowed that anyone who dared to give up the southwest would be killed and swore to live and die with the southwest, was the first to flee with his men.

There was an uproar in the southwest.

Many people could no longer endure it and began to flee with King Liang.

Some fled to other places.

Some people who had originally thought of fighting to the death and defending the southwest as King Liang had said, were shocked after seeing such a thing.

Suffered a fatal blow.

Then, they also lost their fighting spirit.

Even King Liang, the ruler of the southwest, is like this, so why should people like them really fight to the death?
As a result, the situation in the southwest became increasingly corrupt.

This also made it easier for the Ming army to advance towards the southwest.

The battle line is advancing faster.

The saying "a defeat is like a landslide" is not an empty statement. When the situation is really bad to a certain extent, it will really cause a series of chain reactions.

At the same time, this series of bad news gathered from all over also reached King Liang and his men.

Many people here including King Liang couldn't help but feel fortunate after receiving the news.

Fortunately, they made a very wise choice before this.

No one really stayed here and died with the Southwest.

If this were true, many of them would die.

The outcome is not going to be any better.

It will become the military merit of those damn Ming troops attacking the southwest!
These are things they absolutely do not want to see.

Many people are feeling fortunate for the choice they made before.

I think it is particularly wise to give up the southwest.

After hearing this series of news, King Liang looked very gloomy and did not speak a word.

The people around him didn't take his condition too seriously.

They could understand King Liang's feelings.

After all, he has been the king in the southwest for many years.

Although he is called King of Liang, he is actually no different from the emperor here.

At this time, we suddenly became a stray dog ​​and lost the southwest.

After leaving the southwest and coming to the grassland, life was definitely not as good as it is now.

It is perfectly normal to have such a reaction now.

While they were thinking this, after a short rest, Lu'er and his companions began to invite King Liang to get on the carriage, preparing to continue their journey quickly and leave here.

Nowadays, the sooner you can get away from it, the better.

Otherwise, given the posture displayed by the Ming army, it would be difficult for them to escape unharmed if they were caught up by the Ming army.

They will definitely be in trouble at the hands of the Ming army.

The Ming army would never let them go if possible.

This is their greatest achievement.

However, King Liang just sat there without moving.

When people like Lu'er and Dade were extremely anxious, King Liang suddenly said something shocking.

"No, never again!"

Lu'er and Dad were both stunned for a moment.

They didn't expect that King Liang would say such words at this time.

For a moment, I wondered if there was something wrong with my ears or if I had heard it wrongly.

It's already this late, how could you not leave?

"Your Majesty, this..."

Luer asked out loud.

King Liang shook his head and interrupted him.

"This king said he won't leave!"

His tone began to become firm.

"Where can you go?
What would happen if I could successfully reach the imperial court?
You have all seen how powerful the Ming army is.

Even if they reach the imperial court, I am afraid that it won't take long for the Ming army to take action against the imperial court as well.

By then, we may suffer another great humiliation.

In this case, it is better to just endure this great humiliation once."

After hearing what King Liang said, these people were silent for a moment.

After a moment, Dade asked, "Are you going to stay and fight the Ming army to the death?
My king, we really can’t survive this.”

Hearing Dade's words, King Liang shook his head and said, "If you don't fight, you can't win."

After hearing what King Liang said, Dade and Lu'er both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the king has not really gone crazy yet.

But at the same time, I became more and more confused.
Since they are going to fight to the death with the Ming army, why does King Liang want to stay and not leave? What is he going to do?
Could it be that... I am just going to sit here and wait to die?

Amid their confusion, King Liang then told them his plan.

After hearing his plan, everyone present was shocked...
