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

Chapter 352 The Panic of Da Yue

Since joining the Ming Dynasty, the people in these places have been living very well, much better than they are now. They are very envious of this place and wish they were citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

To their surprise, the Ming army was about to reach this place, which meant that they could still become citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

Upon thinking of this place, he was extremely excited and expressed his support for the Ming Dynasty.

The key issue is that the imperial court did not impose any restrictions on this matter, allowing this sentiment to continue to spread throughout Dali City.

At this moment, several large cities in Dali gathered together and frowned.

What are your thoughts on the rumors and gossip you've been hearing lately?

At this moment, one of them said with a look of disdain in his eyes.

“I think there are still many ignorant people in this great region. They think that the Ming Dynasty can save them just by coming to this place. In fact, what’s the difference between the people of the Ming Dynasty and us? In fact, when the Ming army really comes in, their lives might not be as good as they are now!”

At this moment, the person next to him had a somewhat solemn expression.

"Everything in this city was arranged by Gao Antai. This man has always been cunning and treacherous. We never expected that he would dare to take over this mess!"

"But I always feel that this person's thoughts are probably not that simple. Maybe he has some other ideas in mind!"

The person who heard this nodded.

This was the person sitting at the very top, who cleared his throat and spoke.

"Everyone must understand this: our relationship with the Ming Dynasty is not that good, and the current Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is not particularly friendly to us aristocratic families!"

"Don't forget what happened to those powerful families in the Ming Dynasty. So I suggest we don't provoke them. It would be beneficial for us to keep Dali around!"

After listening, everyone nodded. They didn't care what kind of hat they were wearing or what dynasty ruled them. What they cared about was where they could gain more benefits. Obviously, they were following the Ming Dynasty now.

If we can't obtain so many benefits, it's best to let the great empire continue to exist.

After thinking of this place, they put almost half of what they had in their hands.

All their assets were given up to support the army's operations.

Even they felt a pang of heartache at having to take out so many things.

However, when they took these things out and handed them to Duan Bao...

Duan Bao nodded in satisfaction. He didn't have any other thoughts; on the contrary, he thought it was all as it should be.

If these people had supported me earlier, things might not have turned out so badly.

Of all the ministers in this great empire, he doesn't trust any of them, except for Gao Antai.

Gao Antai chose to support him when he was most isolated and helpless. No matter what, it was only right for him to support Gao Antai. Besides, if Gao Antai wasn't a loyal subject, then there were no loyal subjects in the world. He also received so much gold and silver.

During his adolescence, Gao An received so much gold and silver treasures from Gao Xie. Part of it was to pay tribute to the grandson of the Ming emperor and the officials, and the rest was enough for his own use. These guys really gave him a great gift.

When the Ming army arrived at the foot of Dali City...

The two sides engaged in fierce fighting, but no victor emerged.

Upon learning this news, Dali Guang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Dali's strength was indeed formidable.

Even the mighty Ming Dynasty wouldn't find it so easy to defeat him. It seemed he still had a chance to maintain his position. With this thought, he was extremely satisfied and stopped worrying about the outside world, leaving everything to Gao Antai.

At first, everyone looked down on Gao Antai, thinking that he was nothing but a treacherous minister and that with him around, it would be impossible to defeat the Ming army. They believed that it wouldn't be long before the Ming army would be able to take over this place.

What they didn't expect was that Gao Antai was such a handsome man who managed to withstand the Ming Dynasty's attack. This was something they hadn't anticipated.

Gao Antai was extremely satisfied and stopped worrying about other things.

He spent his days drinking and making merry in his palace.

Seeing that no one suspected Gao Antai, he breathed a sigh of relief.

So they immediately contacted the people from the Western Depot inside the city and arranged a date to open the city gates.

Duke Mu Ying of Qian was extremely surprised.

You knew that their Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying's intelligence was very powerful, but you didn't expect it to be this powerful.

Gao Antai, who was second only to the emperor in the entire Dali Kingdom, turned out to be one of their own.

No wonder when he first arrived, the Crown Prince told him not to fight too fiercely. At first, he thought the Crown Prince wanted to recruit these people to his own cause. Who would have thought that was the reason?

Thinking of this place, he was extremely excited. As long as their Crown Prince had no intention of negotiating peace, that would be good.

Even if you join forces with ungrateful people like Dali, it won't end well.

The best way is to wipe them out, so that we can unify this area. The reason why Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang previously appointed the King of Dali was because they were not capable of defeating Dali at that time. But now it's different. With their strength, they can easily deal with a small Dali. There's no need to worry about so many things.

Soon the city gates opened, and their army was extremely excited. They rushed in like wolves and tigers. The soldiers in the city were quite surprised, but Gao Antai's group remained silent and even helped the Ming army maintain order.

I heard that the Ming army has already breached Dali City and is advancing towards the capital.

The local people were very excited. The Ming army had finally arrived at this place. At first, they were very anxious when they heard that the Ming army had not been able to break through this place.

If the Ming army loses, then such a good opportunity will be wasted, and they will have to live under the clutches of Duan Bao and Gao Antai from now on.
