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

Chapter 264 The Outside World is Vast
Some princes even suspected that Zhu Xiong Ying was doing this in order to remove their right of succession and then weaken their power.

Once their rights are taken away, their future will definitely not be good.

After all, the fate of a vassal king who loses his source of income would be extremely tragic.

King Zhu Shuang of Qin looked rather grim.

On one hand, it was for his own sake, and on the other hand, it was for the sake of his younger brothers.

"What Xiong Ying is doing is probably not a good idea. They are all the Emperor's sons, and they should be treated equally. If this is the case, wouldn't it cause internal conflict within our Zhu family? And then it won't be an easy thing to resolve!"

Prince Zhu Gang of Jin, who was standing to the side, hurriedly echoed.

"Second brother is right, Xiong Ying. You need to think this through carefully. No matter what, we are all family. Would we harm you? Besides, eldest brother and father may not even know about this!"

"Why don't we ask my elder brother and father what they think before making a decision?"

...Some of the younger princes also knew that this matter was very important to them, and they began to cry and make a fuss.

Seeing that the situation was not going well for Zhu Xiong Ying, the twelfth prince Zhu Bai hurriedly spoke up.

"Actually, you don't have to see it that way. U.A. has its reasons for doing this!"

However, before he could finish speaking, everyone's sharp gazes turned directly towards the direction of the twelfth prince, Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai sensed the hostility in these people's eyes and subconsciously lowered his head.

Zhu Xiong Ying sighed. Sure enough, no matter who it is, they will all go wrong when it comes to interests.

Zhu Xiong Ying then said.

"The reason I did this is not to diminish everyone's rights, but rather to give everyone something better!"

"Although the Central Plains is prosperous, it is not a country we conquered ourselves. Moreover, the Central Plains is under the control of many civil officials and the imperial court. But it's different in other places. If you can take over those places, you will be like emperors!"

"I heard that before the Yuan Dynasty collapsed, it established four Khanates. These four Khanates were very powerful, and one of them, which is extremely powerful, still exists today!"

Zhu Xiong Ying clapped his hands, and the eunuchs on the side immediately hung up the map.

Looking at the enormous map in front of them, everyone gasped in astonishment; they had never seen a map like this before.

After searching around, the group finally found the Ming Dynasty in a tiny space, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Xiongying, could your map be wrong? How could our Great Ming Dynasty only be this small!"

The other princes nodded in agreement. In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world, and other places were nothing more than barbarian lands. But reality proved them wrong.

I never knew there were so many countries in the world.

Zhu Xiong Ying sighed and said with a complicated expression.

"When Father and Grandfather saw these, they were even more surprised than your grandfather!"

"This map has been verified by many people, and the places recorded on it are indeed real!"

"There are many places here with very fertile land, but they are occupied by a group of barbarians. It's such a pity. If our Great Ming could occupy these places, it would make us even stronger!" "And if the princes of our Great Ming could occupy such fiefdoms, they would not only have a prosperous life, but also have even greater power!"

The princes were extremely excited as they looked at the map. If they could seize these territories, they might be able to conquer a territory as large as the Ming Dynasty.

This is what the prince said with a puzzled expression.

"I've heard that apart from the Ming Dynasty, all other places are barbarian lands, like the northern grasslands. They have a lot of land but it's useless. You can't grow crops in these places, so they're completely useless!"

These are some web pages, which also reflect that the Ming Dynasty is the richest place in the world, while other places are just barbaric lands. No matter how large the area is, it is of no use to them.

At this moment, they looked at Zhu Xiong Ying with some hostility.

They believe that Zhu Xiong Ying said this in order to deceive them.

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying pointed upwards and said...

"The Jiangnan region used to be a barbaric land, but after development by successive dynasties, it is now a land of plenty!"

"We consider these places to be barbarian lands, perhaps because they were barbarian lands a long time ago, but over the years, their strength has increased considerably!"

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying turned his gaze to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.

"There is a huge peninsula here, located south of Yunnan!"

"The climate here is hot and rainy, but things grow very quickly. Rice can even be harvested three times a year. Occupying this place is equivalent to having countless grains. More importantly, this place also has many fruits and vegetables. The fruits alone are enough to feed the people of the Ming Dynasty. If we can occupy this place, it is equivalent to occupying another Jiangnan!"

Upon hearing this, the princes' eyes lit up. Apart from the nine powerful princes in the north, the most enviable were the princes who were enfeoffed in the Jiangnan region.

The vassal kings in this region were extremely wealthy.

The only downside is that the composition of this place is very complex, especially the powerful and far-reaching influence of aristocratic families and scholars.

In this place, they are easily targeted by these scholars.

However, if they could occupy that place, it would mean they could obtain more food, and perhaps they could establish a country even more powerful than the current Ming Dynasty.

Even the Prince of Qin, Zhu Shuang, and the Prince of Jin, Zhu Gang, were drooling with envy.

Finally, Zhu Xiong Ying pointed to other places, even some places to the west.

They never imagined that such powerful empires existed in these places, or even more prosperous and fertile lands—something unimaginable.

Occupying these places and becoming a local emperor would be far better than being criticized by scholars within the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, those scholars kept nagging about these things to them, which annoyed these vassal kings to no end.

Finally, Zhu Xiong Ying pointed to other places and introduced almost all the marked places on the detailed map.

At this moment, Prince Zhu Gang of Jin suddenly looked at another continent.

"Where is this place? Is it another world?"
