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

Chapter 233 Zhu Xiong Ying's Backup Plan
Kökö Temür felt a deep sadness, which meant that he would be isolated and helpless in the entire Yuan Dynasty.

The thought of this outcome made him smile bitterly; when had he ever been so doubted?

At this moment, his expression was complicated as he stared intently at the map, his worried face never fading away.

The general standing to the side held an imperial edict in his hand.

Kökö Temür glanced at it, then looked at the several identical imperial edicts on the table.

Are the contents the same?

The general nodded: "The content is the same, but the language is even more outrageous. I'm afraid the people of all the tribes already know about this. What should we do?"

Kökö Temür gave a bitter smile. What to do? How could he possibly know what to do?

It turns out that Nairbuqa gave Togus Temur a suggestion: to let Kökö Temur lead his army to attack the Ming Dynasty.

If he agrees, it means that Kökö Temür is still obeying the court's orders, and that person can continue to be given important responsibilities.

However, if he directly rejects Ze, it means that this person has rebellious intentions and should never be used again.

Therefore, Togus Temur issued several imperial edicts in succession.

The general standing to the side hesitated.

"I heard that the princess is going to marry the Prince of Qin of the Ming Dynasty in the next few days. If we do this, will it be detrimental to the princess?"

Kuo Kuo shook his head: "No, that won't happen. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is our enemy, I know him very well. He would never take his anger out on my sister!"

“In Bayanbo’s letter, he also mentioned that Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, treated my sister quite well. Speaking of which, since my father passed away, my sister has been my only family. Now that she is staying in Yingtian Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a bad thing. At least she can survive in this chaotic world!”

"As for Minmin's matter, there's no need to worry about it. I will send out a message later to completely sever ties with him and expel him from the family!"

"What I'm worried about is the Ming army now. The Ming army is stronger than before, and Zhu Xiong Ying seems to have trained a very special unit. I don't know how strong it is. With our current strength, if we take the initiative to attack the Ming, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. I really can't decide!"

The general nodded, his face full of anger, and said, "It must be that bastard Nairbuhua. If it weren't for him, His Majesty the Emperor would never have given such an order. Why don't we just go back and kill him? Maybe then the King will obey our orders!"

Kuo Kuo's expression was complicated. It was indeed a solution, but it was also a last resort. Although he could gather a lot of power through a series of actions, he would still face resistance from the various tribes on the grassland, and in the end, it would be the grassland's own power that would suffer the loss.

"I'll think about this some more!"

"Also, try to buy more wool and sell it to the Ming Dynasty. While you're at it, gather some intelligence. Even if we're going to fight the Ming Dynasty, we need enough supplies. We can't let our planet go to war on an empty stomach!"

The grasslands were stirring with activity, and at the same time, Yingtian Prefecture also received the news. Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao's eyes lit up: "Xiong Ying, you guessed right! Those guys on the grasslands really can't sit still anymore. It won't be long before Wang Baobao makes his move!"

Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile, "This is an open strategy. Although Kökö Temür will definitely not take it, it is not certain among their own people. After all, Nairbuqa has a very bad relationship with him."

"If he could see Kökö Tölü suffer heavy losses, he would be very happy. That's why I sent someone to pull strings and bribe people around Nair Buhua with a lot of money to get this done!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and his crown prince Zhu Biao were both very satisfied. Kökö Töre was their biggest enemy in attacking the Northern Yuan. Once he was eliminated, the other armies could advance unimpeded.

Before long, they will be able to reach the royal court of the Northern Yuan, and at that time, capturing Togus Temur will not be impossible.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiong Ying and said with a smile, "I heard that Liu Bowen recommended some excellent craftsmen to you. They can make new types of firearms. What do you think of them? Take us to see them!"

Zhu Xiong Ying was somewhat reluctant, as she had gone to great lengths to make these firearms.

He planned to equip his own troops with them first, but if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao saw this, his idea of ​​keeping them would probably be ruined.

Zhu Xiong Ying gritted her teeth: "Grandfather, Father, you can take me to see these firearms. If you think they're good, I can give you the blueprints. But there's one thing you need to do: you need to ask Lord Yang to approve more funding for me. The money I'm using to make these is all hard-earned money!"

"I'm saving that thing for when I get married!"

Crown Prince Zhu Yao was speechless upon hearing this. "You're only ten years old, and you're already thinking about all this nonsense. Do you think I didn't prepare these little tidbits for you? If they're not good enough, don't blame me for slapping you." The group arrived at a deep mountain with Erhu, Jiang Huan, Xu Yungong, and others guarding them.

The group was extremely cautious, as they were most vulnerable to ambushes in the dense forest. Of course, there were also many guards here, and they had already encountered three or four groups of defenders in just this short stretch of road.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao curled his lip: "Xiong Ying, what exactly are you up to? Why is the defense here so tight? I feel like even the imperial palace isn't this strong!"

Zhu Xiong Ying sighed: "The firearms I made are all extremely important. The reason I haven't made them public is because I'm worried that some greedy guys will expose them!"

"The future will belong to firearms. If these weapons were to leak out, the consequences for us would be unimaginable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and his crown prince Zhu Biao were particularly shocked to hear this, never expecting that Zhu Xiong Ying would have such a high opinion of these firearms.

It's important to understand that these firearms are not very effective nowadays. First, the weather has a huge impact on them. Second, experienced people are needed to control the amount of gunpowder. If too little gunpowder is used, it has no power; if too much is used, it will explode.

Moreover, many firearms today do not have the range of bows and arrows, so Zhu Xiong Ying's assessment is really too high.

Zhu Xiong Ying knew the two men didn't believe her, so she continued.

"You're thinking about the firearms we use now, but if we get people to research them, these things will definitely be developed to be much better. For example, the amount of gunpowder could be fixed, so there would be no risk of the barrel exploding!"
