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

Chapter 354 Pressure from Envoys of Various Countries

"Mu Ying, you are very lucky to have a master who trusts you. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is also very lucky, even the young Crown Prince has such cunning. I really didn't expect that!"

"It seems that it's only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty rises again!"

"I wonder if I could be allowed to commit suicide, to give me some dignity!"

After hesitating for a moment, Duke Mu Ying of Qian nodded.

After Duan Bao of Dali committed suicide, Duke Mu Ying of Qian sighed as he looked at the man's corpse.

"Regardless of the circumstances, he can be considered a ruthless and ambitious figure!"

"It's a pity he did so many wrong things. Since he's already dead, there's no need to make things difficult for him. Let's bury his body properly!"

The people around nodded in agreement, but these powerful families were filled with anger. It was unclear whether they were angry about Duan Bao's situation or about their families losing the supreme power that rightfully belonged to them.

In short, the matter was over. When the other Dali troops arrived at the place, they found that even their king was dead. Continuing to fight would be pointless, especially given Mu Ying's reputation.

These people didn't dare to put up much resistance and surrendered one by one.

No one expected that Dali, which had existed for so long, would be destroyed so easily. Everyone sighed.

At the same time, Wang Bi, who had just become the Duke of Li, also led his troops to the Kingdom of Dayue. The Kingdom of Dayue was extremely small, which meant that they needed a lot of troops to defend various places.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not forgive the Great Yue Kingdom at first, which made the King of Great Yue Kingdom extremely anxious. He even sent people to contact other countries, hoping that they could unite to support him. However, he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would act so quickly. Before they could make any move and before their allies could choose to support them, the Ming army had already attacked.

Faced with this massive army, they had no chance to resist and the border troops were wiped out.

The King of Yue was extremely flustered.

No one expected that these Ming Dynasty troops would move so fast.

Fortunately, their border with Da Viet was long and narrow.

This results in them having considerable defensive depth.

In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty, they mobilized all their troops to deal with the obstruction, which caused great trouble for Duke Li, Wang Bi.

Wang Bi quickly realized the importance of artillery.

They used the mobility of cavalry to rampage across the entire territory of Da Yue, and then used artillery to completely destroy all defenses and offensives.

Not long afterward, the Kingdom of Da Yue lost half of its territory.

At this time, the king of Da Yue was so worried that his hair had almost turned white.

"Now that the Ming army has appeared around us, their fighting power is extremely terrifying. What should we do?"

This was said by an official.

"If we want to deal with the Ming Dynasty, we can only rely on ourselves and become strong. We cannot rely on countries like Champa and Luchuan!"

"Although they claim to support us on the surface, they actually just want to use us to weaken the Ming Dynasty. In reality, they will not send troops, and they do not want to offend the Ming Dynasty!"

"After all, besides us, the only one in the world who can rival the Ming Dynasty is Duan Bao of Dali!"

"Our best course of action recently is to do everything we can to get Duan Bao of Dali to support us. Only if they launch a surprise attack on the Ming army from behind, relieving the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, can we then attack them from both sides and defeat them!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Dai Viet's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea; I'm about to send someone to do it.

At that moment, a soldier rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, the Dali Kingdom is gone, and Duan Bao is dead!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

The king of Dai Viet was startled and hurriedly said...

"What did you say? Duan Bao is dead? I might think Duan Bao's Dali Kingdom wasn't weak, but it was defeated so quickly!"

Then the man revealed all the information, and they realized that the Ming Dynasty was fighting against two countries simultaneously with the strength of a single nation.

Even so, they were still not capable of dealing with it, and the thought of this made them extremely panicked.

Now that Dali has been taken over by the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Qian, Mu Ying, will send troops to support it, which will not be a good thing for them.

This was stated by an official.

"Now that things have come to this, we should spread the news of Duan Bao's death in Dali to the entire southwest. I believe those countries will definitely send troops to stand on the same side as us!"

The King of Dai Viet was extremely displeased upon hearing this.

"I already sent someone to ask for help!"

"These people are only concerned with their own selfish interests and have no intention of supporting us. What can I do?"

Upon hearing this, the civil official shook his head.

"Times have changed. It was normal for them not to support us before, since they were unwilling to sacrifice their own strength for us!"

"But things are different now. The Ming Dynasty has now destroyed Dali. Now, whether it's us, Luchuan, or Nanzhang, we are all exposed to the Ming Dynasty's military might!"

As the saying goes, "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," they will definitely have this thought, so sending people in to provide support at this time is the most appropriate!

"Alternatively, we can try to seek help from the Khmer Empire!"

"In recent years, the Khmer Empire has developed at an extremely rapid pace and definitely possesses the strength to confront the Ming Dynasty. Previously, it was because their interests were not harmed, but now that the Ming Dynasty has extended its reach to this place, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Ming Dynasty become stronger!"

"So we're sending people to ask for help now, and they'll definitely agree!"

The king of Da Yue sighed upon hearing this.

"It seems this is the only way now!"

When this news spread, all the countries in the southwest were astonished.

It should be noted that both the Liang King and Dali had been entrenched in this southwestern region for a very long time.

Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty acted so quickly, eliminating them in such a short time.

The countries that border the Ming Dynasty are particularly worried.

So far, none of the countries bordering the Ming Dynasty have fared well, and they are afraid of following in their footsteps.

Before the envoy from Dai Viet could finish speaking his plea for help, these countries agreed without even thinking, and even dispatched a large number of troops to assemble on the border.

They also sent envoys to find the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.

At this time, Bozhou, where the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying was located, had already gathered envoys from many countries.
